Solid teashop for boba in the NYU area, definitely doing the area a service and a reliable spot. Stopped by a few times in the summer for their citrus/summery drinks and found them to be exactly what I needed, refreshing, not too sweet, quick, and authentic. It's got some space to it with several chairs if you need to catch your breath for a second or just hang out with a friend. The staff were friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. There are rotating menu items, too. Would love to come back and try their regular boba milk tea to see where they stack, even though nowadays it's all about the teashops like HeyTea and Molly; this place is holding its own and hope it continues to stick around. It's also cutely decorated; lots of wood inside. read more

We ordered: 1. Wanpo Milk Tea 2. Guava Jinxuan Oolong Tea 3. Soybean Milk Tea Wanpo Milk tea was a solid black milk tea and the best. But guava oolong and soybean milk tea, even with less sugar, tasted like guava juice and soybean milk; not awful but disappointing. No issues with service. Order to-go only. read more

Overall: B // 4 stars I ordered a mango coconut drink with red bean, which honestly looks very beautiful like a mountain painting. Unfortunately, I think the drink was significantly hindered by a lack of sugar making it quite bland; at regular sugar, this drink tastes about 30% sweet as HeyTea, and the other flavors are really not brought out in any way, almost to the point of tasting pure coconut fat.

Excellent shop for traditional Taiwanese flavors. You can customize your drink with ice and sugar levels. If you like the flavor of traditional Taiwan tea without sugar, get something like Alishan Oolong. I added taro balls and red bean. Refreshing and a nice 'dessert' alternative. read more

We were impressed with our first experience here! We ordered: Wanpo MT, w aiyu jelly: good fragrance of the tea. The aiyu jelly has the consistency of grass jelly. Really enjoyed this. Alishan tea w boba: my daughter ordered this. She said it was good and boba was soft and chewy. We ordered through the kiosk. There was no one before us but our drink took quite a long time. read more

Stopped by on a cold winter afternoon to grab a hot Wanpo Milk Tea with boba. Delicious even without any sugar! I like that the tea flavor really came through, that's when you know the tea I real and not powder. Service was quick and straightforward. After 10 drinks you can get a free 16oz drink so don't forget to grab a punch card. read more

Stopped in, only a few seats upfront and to the side, a big empty space. it's designed somewhat like a tea selling shop (like Ten Ren). Taiwanese style bubble tea - not too sweet, and the tea has an interesting flavor that is a bit earthy and rich, similar to another tea I've had in the past, but can't quite place. Bubbles are firm and not too sweet, too, which was nice. Ordering was through the kiosk, and bubbles not included by default in the Wanpo Milk Tea, so add a little bit ($0.60) for a serving. Pick up your own straw. You can make it with varying levels of ice, two sizes (M/L) and sugar (0-100%). read more

- Locale Destination - It's on E 8th st and University pl in Greenwich Village in Manhattan. It's nearby NYU. Ambiance: casual yet looks serious on tea. You will like that if you are a tea lover of truly fine Chinese tea. Service: quick. You can use kiosk to order. Menu: wide range of tea flavors - simple tea to fruity ones. Very big. - Gluttony Expedition - Black tea latte: no sugar with boba. Boba was a bit hard but good flavor. Black tea was very flavorful, no sugar was way to go to enjoy the tea quality. - Conqueror's Deduction - It's a famous tea shop from Taiwan. The menu was huge! I think anyone from tea lovers to boba drinkers can enjoy here. read more

While in the area, I was really thirsty and craving. For a drink. We stopped by here and there are kiosks to order and pay with card. The process was quick and simple. I ordered the Yamamasa Koyamaen's Matcha Latte ($6.75 for large). I also customized my drink with 25% sugar and light ice, which was to my liking as this allowed the matcha flavor to really shine. The drink got a bit overwhelming after awhile though, so having some of my friend's boba gave it a good contrast. P.S. Love that they have a stamp card for a free drink after 10 drinks too, so I guess I'll be back whenever I'm in the neighborhood again. read more

It was a cute little bubble tea place with some stools and a bench. We ordered off a kiosk and in less than 5 minutes got our teas. We got the vanilla bean cheese brulee oolong tea latte and the custard boba milk tea with Oreo. The latte was ok. I got it with 0 sugar so it was a little bitter with notes of vanilla bean. The cheese foam was the main flavor. The custard was very sweet and had plenty of toppings. Solid bubble teas. read more

Stopped by here for some boba tea. Appears to be a new shop as I have never heard of them. The aesthetics is pretty nice for the interior. Orders are placed on one of the two kiosks they have setup. I ordered the large Oolong Tea Latte with boba ($7) hot, 50% sugar. This was pricy compared to the other boba shops, probably because they're not a chain. Regardless, I enjoyed the drink. Tasty and refreshing for a cold winter day. read more

I've been wanting to try Yamamasa Koyamaen matcha for the longest time and as soon as I saw it on their menu I knew I wanted it. The matcha latte was great - not grassy or bitter, just right. I would most definitely come back here when I want something sweet and I'm in the area. read more

Tried Wanpo Tea for the first time recently and I would definitely consider it to be one of the best tea shops in NYC. The tea here is very fragrant and the boba is fresh. I tried the Mini Bubbles and really enjoyed the fun texture alongside my milk tea. The service was very quick, despite being quite busy when I came. The space is fairly small with a couple of bar stools off to the side, making it more of a grab and go spot. The aesthetic in here is cute and I would definitely come back to try some other milk teas on the menu! read more

I just wanted to note that it's kind of funny how in Korean the name of this restaurant means 'giving up everything' - this is definitely not a Korean shop so that isn't the intended meaning but it made me chuckle a little There's a large digital kiosk inside to order which shows live what items they still have available. Bar stool seating (about 4) on the right when you enter and more against the window to the left of the entrance. The wait time is less than 5 minutes after you order. The main popular drink seems to be the brown sugar matcha with boba but this was sold out when I went, so I got the next best thing, the match red bean jelly latte. The jelly was pretty firm which made it a little strange to drink and also made it sort of inevitable that a lot of it would remain at the bottom of the drink. The regular size is just under $8 and honestly was rather small once all was said and done - I think perhaps 12oz, and seemed to disappear pretty quickly. It's $1 extra if you want either oat or almond milk. They require you to choose 'less ice' - perhaps to combat the issue of not enough drink being provided. Very bright inside - not good for prolong stay due to limited seating - lots of wasted space in the middle which isn't really utilized since most order through the kiosk and not at the counter. Located near Washington Square Park so great for college goers. They provide a physical punch card with your drink, and a separate digital point system through the kiosk. read more

A few of my friends have recommended Wanpo to me, so I was excited to try it! I ordered the seasonal guava tea and it was tasty! I got 50% sugar which I felt was a good level - not too sweet but still had good flavor. The tea flavor wasn't as strong as I was expecting but guava is a strong flavor so it may have over powered it a bit. read more

Matcha Red Bean Jelly Latte 抹茶紅豆粉粿鮮奶 - Oat milk, Less sugar, Less ice They used Uji Koyamaen Matcha, one of the most prestigious matcha providers in Japan. It gave the matcha drink a deep, rich green color which hinted at its exceptional fragrance and delicacy. The red bean and jelly added a unique sweetness and textural contrast. There were still a good amount of toppings sinked at the bottom after I gulped my matcha latte. Wanpo has now become one of my fav boba shops in NYC after I'Milky. Tbh the cup size was much smaller than I thought. Yet I'm still willing to splurge on their drink ($9+) because I wanna make sure I'm getting the best quality for my dollars. read more

They gave a lot of boba. I haven't see see boba shops give that much boba for a long time. It's basically a self-serving store (but they still ask for tips on the screen), there're two ordering machines, very easy to use. They can also take your order but cash only, however, at main time there's no one at the counter, they all making drinks in the back. They make drinks very fast! The shop is not too big with some seats along a wall. Staff is not too friendly, just bring the drinks out and yell the number (without customers name), no greeting or even say thank you. read more

Dropped by to grab some drinks one afternoon. A wide selection of items, and solid drinks. We had the smoked plum tea and the purple rice taro milk. Both were solid. The smoked plum was nice and refreshing, though a tad too sweet for my liking. The purple rice taro milk came with fresh taro at the bottom, which added sweetness, and, of course purple rice, which added texture. Overall, solid boba spot, can't really go wrong here. read more

I got the black milk tea without boba, 50 % sugar. The Hong Cha was on the bitter side and not as fragrant. I am not sure if it's because I got less sugar and no ice that it tasted like that. It's acceptable to me but I've had better ones Wanpo milk tea- without boba, less sugar is more balanced. But they use powdered milk here. I prefer real milk in my milk tea. But so far this tasted like the black milk tea except for the powdered milk taste. read more

This has become my new favorite bubble tea shop in NYC. To start, I quite like the ambiance of the shop - lots of tea containers of legit Chinese teas in cute little wooden cabinets. You just order at one of those electronic machines which has suggested sugar levels that you can still manually adjust. I got my drink in less than 3 min. I got the cheese cream grape drink - I really appreciate that the cup comes with an opening at the top for sipping (which you must do to taste the cheese cream) as well as a separate opening for a straw to drink the bottom layer. Besides the very refreshing beverage, I also tasted bits of grape jelly on the bottom. I'm so glad I stopped by after my dentist appointment - gives me something to look forward to next time I have to head to a teeth cleaning. They even give you a little loyalty card (buy 10, get one free) which I'll definitely be saving and using. read more

I first tried this place in Seoul and loved the soy milk tea latte so much I was so excited when I saw there was a location in NYC. This time I ordered the red jujube milk tea and this was delicious as well. It's perfect for the winter and feels so warm and healing, and I love that there are a bunch of longan to eat after I'm done with the drink. I will say though for people who enjoy less sugar, this drink is fixed sugar and might be a tad sweet. read more

Amazing bubble tea shop with lots of amazing flavor options and topping options. Unfortunately there is no seating, but it's still pretty crowded a lot of the times. Everyone kinda just stands in a huddle in the store. They have two self order stations, but you are able to order in the front or online. I try to go before noon to avoid the rush. It's usually packed when I visit during the afternoon. The drinks usually come out within 10-15 minutes even when it is crowded. I love their plum green tea. It tastes like the Asian plum candies I use to have as a child and is a huge throwback. Their starfruit juice is also pretty good and also taste like a candy I use to have as a child. But it's a little for my liking. They also have amazing aiya jelly. Super soft and easy to eat. Tl;dr - cool flavors, aiyu jelly is yummy, crowded in the afternoons read more

I've been here once and the space is fairly small. It's definitely a grab and go place. They have a register and a kiosk to order. I tried the starfruit drink, which was salty and what I expected. I also tried the soymilk milk tea and really enjoyed that. Some pretty solid drinks. read more

We tried the Wanpo Milk Tea and the Apple Iced Tea, and both were very tasty!

The wall art and decorations are cute and it's very open in the space with a lot of natural light. read more

Wanpo is now one of my favorite bubble tea shops in NYC for carrying my favorite dessert grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 embedded in my tea drink. I decided on one large iced lemon tea with 25% sugar, normal ice and grass jelly $6.75. "Normal ice" is not considered normal as it abruptly melted with utter disdain and dispirit.

Came by on a whim because I was craving boba. Got a custard boba milk tea. The milk tea flavor was weaker than I would've liked, and it was really hard to mix in the custard. That being said the flavor of the custard was really good. However, it felt a little bit grainy and not smooth overall. The boba texture was great and provided a little bit of sweetness to my half sweetened drink. It's not a bad place to get boba, but I'm not sure I would stop by again to try the other drinks. read more

I stopped by here today and got a black tea latte, it was sooooo good! It had the perfect ratio of tea to milk and was sweet but not too sweet.

Oh what a big miss this time :( The strawberry cheese green tea was not it. The strawberry taste was watered down almost like bad watermelon slushie drinks and the cheese didn't blend well with the drink either. And yet again, this was only available in large size... Also my friend was going to order a Wanpo milk tea with a request for oat milk but turns out that was not possible because they made it with milk powder only. However, their lattes were made with actual milk so that was possible. It took us a bit to understand when conversing with the staff and we were notified only after ordering. My friend did get the full refund after deciding not to order. Wish they wrote this out somewhere so it makes ordering more easier, especially with how busy it is in the store. read more

Very good milk tea and fruit teas. Xing Fu Tang has some serious competition. As a person who's visited well over 40+ boba shops in my lifetime (i.e. Xing Fu Tang, Happy Lemon, Fantasia, AlmondHaus, N7, Tastea, 7 Leaves, Gong Cha, Vivi, Kung Fu Tea, Truedan, TenRen, 50Lan, Yaya, Boba Guys, YiFeng, etc) I definitely commend Wanpo. I had their green milk tea with boba and my boyfriend had the kumquat lemon tea with boba. The flavors closely remembered one of my favorite boba tea stores, Fantasia, back on the west coast. The boba texture was pretty balanced chewy as well as the sweetness level at 50% was satiating. Definitely would return! read more

Wanpo is one of our favorite bubble tea places when we were in Taiwan, so we were very excited when they opened up their first location in NYC. They are famous for their high quality tea with various options. The menu is currently limited compared to what they offer in Taiwan but decent enough for us to feel satisfied for homesickness. We got their Red Bean Jelly Milk and Taro Milk. The taste was delicious and close to the one we had before. We highly recommend to have less sugar for both drinks we tried since the red bean & taro were very sweet. read more

There was nothing wrong per se with the milk tea here, but it just was not that great compared to others in the area. The main positive that stood out was first how nice the store was - it was incredibly clean and had really nice decor. Also, the service was super quick! The shop was pretty busy on a Saturday and our drinks were ready within 2 minutes after ordering. There is limited seating inside, but you're just a few steps from Washington Square Park to enjoy your drink at. Pros: There are two self-order kiosk machines or you can order at the counter. They have a stamp card to earn a free drink after a few purchases. You can choose the sugar level and ice level of your drink. Cons: The price was high (over $6 for a milk tea, over $7 for a bubble tea). The cups were tall, but very thin, so it felt like there was not actually that much tea in the cup. The kiosk defaults to no boba, so you have to pay attention to make sure you add boba to your oder if you want it. read more
