    Fried Egg with Crab Fillet Pressed Sandwich (yes that's corn in the sandwich)
    Sam Y.

    One of the many bubble tea spots on Prince Street. I saw a BOGO Free (Thanksgiving) promo and figured I'd try them out. The service was friendly and quick. They do recommend 50% sugar and less ice, though I opted for 30% sugar. They have a order status screen, which does call out the order numbers when ready. They have a few window counter seating on the first floor and more seating upstairs. The Wuyi Rock Milk Tea is on the milky side, but you can taste the earthiness of the tea. It's not too sweet. I had the Iron Goddess (Tie Guan Yin) Milk Tea later in the day (refrigerated when I got home). It is also on the milky side, but can taste the tea. It is florally, which is not my favorite version of this tea. I prefer an earthier version. Also not too sweet. The Fried Egg with Crab Fillet Pressed Sandwich has corn in it, which although I like corn, that is not the sandwich I wanted! You mostly taste corn and mayo. The (imitation) crab and egg (couldn't even tell this was fried) are overpowered. Better off taking out the crab and calling this an Egg with Corn Pressed Sandwich. The bread was toasted nicely though. I ate the Taro Paste and Pork Floss Pressed Sandwich later (refrigerated and reheated by toaster oven). It toasted back up well. The taro paste is light in flavor, but compliments the pork floss. Overall, not impressed by this spot. Only appeal for this spot is the seating, wifi and outlets, which makes it feel like a nice cafe.

    Chayann is a cozy, highly aesthetic boba spot specializing in floral teas. Enticed by the new boba spot in town and their Thanksgiving BOGO deal, we ordered the Osmanthus Milk Tea at the recommended 30% sugar level but it was still too sweet Sadly, the floral note was even more disappointing, instead of the subtle, tea like essence expected, the flavor felt artificial, resembling a strong, synthetic fragrance.

    I don't know why this tea place is so empty on a Friday, but honestly, their tea is amazing! The flavors are unique, especially with the touch of popping barley beads -- healthy and such a fun twist that makes it stand out. There are plenty of seats upstairs, perfect for studying or getting some work done -- something rare to find after COVID. If I weren't rushing to work, I'd definitely stay longer. They have a great variety of teas, and my favorite so far is the Lychee Jasmine Tea -- it pairs perfectly with the popping barley. The staff is attentive and patient with your needs. Definitely my new go-to tea spot

    My friend was sweet enough to grab some bubble tea for us and bring it all the way to the city, so I can't speak to the instore experience but she said the service was super fast and easy! The packaging alone is super cute especially for the holidays, the cup and the to-go bag too. She got me the osmanthus milk tea with less ice and 50% sugar. I don't think they have nondairy milk so I had to talk a lactaid but whole milk can be so yummy - I missed it! The tea itself was very tea-y and s, I think I could've done even less sugar next time. I really enjoyed the flavor, not all places have osmanthus which I really like!

    Another bubble tea place in Flushing on Prince St! The best part of this place is that it has an upstairs seating area. They also have a variety of different teas besides the normal ones you see around the block. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the cashier who recommended me some drinks based on what kind of drinks I like previously. I came in for the free lychee keychain when I purchased 2 lychee drinks, but I ended up trying something else. I love a strong Chinese hot tea at home so I was surprised when I saw they have Da Hong Pao Milk Tea. I ordered that without any toppings because they don't have herbal/grass jelly which is my usual go-to. It is just what I imagined. So good! Would definitely be back to try other drinks and possibly to study upstairs. They also have a restroom!

    Pistachio Jasmine milk tea
    Mei C.

    Needed a warm drink on a cold day, walked in to this cute and cozy boba tea shop and ordered a Pistachio Jasmine milk tea. Wait time wasn't too long and was able to enjoy my drink in the heated shop. Shop has some really cute Winter decor, and even some window seatings. Drink itself tasted good, was hoping for more pistachio nutty flavor~it was slightly a bit too milky for my taste. Otherwise, a good boba tea shop

    LOVE this spot in flushing! Finally a cafe where you can sit and do some work. -Their drinks are very comparable to Molly's tea -Great AC to beat the summer heat -Tons of natural light and it's pretty quiet upstairs -wifi and bathroom -has both tea and (small) coffee selection

    Finally stopped by to try it. They have a good selection of non milk and milk teas. I tried their new drink- Pistachio coconut peach ice tea. It was delicious. Really enjoyed all the components and the pistachio foam actually tastes like pistachio. The peach tea has good flavor and tea strength. Will have to come back to try more of their teas. Maybe one of their premium tea drinks that said is for tea drinkers. I'm a tea enthusiast but wanted to try their new drink this visit. There's additional seating space upstairs as well as a bathroom which was nice. They have free WiFi as well which is a nice perks

    rose pu er and lapsang

    Really cute new boba spot in Flushing. Feel like boba shops need to do a lot to standout here given the plethora of options at every corner, but Chayann really holds its own here. With deep rich tea flavors, this spot is perfect for anyone who really wants authentic milk TEA and not just sugary flavored milk. Rather than standing out with floral flavors like Molly Tea (which I also love), Chayann shows the depth of its tea with a variety of distinct tea flavors such as Rose Pu'Er (which I've only ever had at dimsum) and Lapsang Souchong (sweeter and deeper than a regular black tea with milk). I like to reduce sugar to make the tea flavor standout more and would recommend the same to all friends that come! Service is also good and staff really tries to help you choose your optimal drink. Their English isn't the best so would recommend speaking in Chinese if you can!

    Pretty cups & pretty decorations can be deceiving to the eyes from the outside. Another new milk tea spot near Prince Street in Flushing. Why does Main St need another milk tea spot anyway? Why are all these new milk tea spots opening week after week competing with each other for the best decorations? Fast service from helpful & polite staff. Downstairs has like a forest theme while the ambiance of the upper level is 10/10 with real flowers everywhere like an indoor garden, if only I can say the same for the flavor wise as well. Huge seating area with plenty of wooden tables and comfy chairs. Clean restroom on the upper level. This space is bigger than most other places with just a storefront. Can be a great spot for spending time alone, as a couple or with friends. Even though there're wall outlets, I couldn't seem to charge my phone because they're either blocked or not working at all. There's a LED screen both upstairs and downstairs showing customers what number they're currently up to for drink pickups - so you're not just waiting around for your order. Overheard the girls next to me saying that their drinks are overloaded with sweetness although getting 50% sugar. I'd ordered a White Peach Oolong Milk Tea (木兆) with 50% sugar + no ice. Thought the taste of mine is bland & diluted instead, as in the ratio of the milk had overpowered the tea (70% vs 30%). Sadly, its tea flavor is like a tint smh. Shouldn't have listened to the staff's recommendation for its sweetness. They could be potentially successful in the future. Hopefully we'll see more improvement from Chayann too. One thing they need to fix is definitely the paper menu. I think they should hire someone to proofread everything right away. It's quite embarrassing to have found 10+ English grammatical errors or misspelled words in general especially the address when it's the most important part to begin with smh. Very questionable as in "How have they not noticed any of them by the way?" But as of now, I don't recommend the drinks (e.g. unmemorable + pricy + bland but pretty). Save your money, go somewhere else. I don't know about the pressed sandwiches, so I can't voice my opinion since I didn't order that.

    This new beverage shop opened last week and emphasize their floral fresh milk tea products. We checked them out over the weekend and tried three different flavors. I think the Wuyi Rock Milk Tea and Lapsang Souchong Black Milk Tea were both excellent because you can really taste the tea. Iron Goddess Milk Tea was slightly weaker, but still very good. We ordered all drinks with less ice and 50% sugar level. Like most new tea shops, the packaging is wonderful. The paper cups itself is made of thick material, while the covers are made of quality hard plastic. The carry away bags are nicely designed and given to every take out order. They have two levels and the interior design is quite nice. Mostly white walls with green and floral accents. Second floor has a beautiful space with lots of seating and therefore a good place to meet a friend. I certainly will keep this spot in mind for future meetings in Flushing.

    There are some more unique tea options (wuyi, lapsang) compared to some of the other places, and the taste is comparable to ones down the block - definitely will be back to try more to beat the summer heat. Especially love that there's a second floor and ample seating!

    4.3 and rounded up! It's hard to say no here, because their bubbles are so good!…read more As one of many bubble/boba (波霸奶茶) milk tea chains that have emigrated stateside from Taiwan (original birthplace of boba), Xing Fu Tang hails from has 5 locations in the New York boroughs area, 4 in Midtown and 1 in Flushing. Their signature fresh boba is what makes their bubble tea stand out from the rest--the "bubbles" are made from cassava starch otherwise known as tapioca pearls or balls--soaked then cooked and sweetened in a brown sugar syrup. Here they have a whole wok full of these, and they're super soft, incredibly chewy and bouncy, on the sweeter side compared to some other chains, but not too cloyingly so. Their menu consists of a number of a bubble tea and coffee drinks, mostly with milk though some without, you have an option of regular milk, lactaid milk (+$0.50) or oatmilk (+$1.00). Two sizes regular or large (+$2.00) and add-ins for +$0.50 more of the following: Brown Sugar Boba Strawberry Boba Taro Boba Honey Jelly Herbal Jelly Milk Foam Matcha Shot (+$1.00) I got their regular brown sugar boba and it was a treat! Like I mentioned above, the bubbles are sooo good! Prices are on the higher side $7.99 for a regular size, it made me really miss the days of $3.75 regular-sized drinks! After ordering it took about 7-8 minutes to be ready considering the store was really busy. Note: the brown sugar boba milk tea is where they line the cup with brown sugar syrup in addition to adding boba. Technically their standard boba milk tea is without the additional sugar syrup but since the boba are already cooked in brown sugar, there's no true option of getting unflavored boba without brown sugar. Like most boba stores in NYC, the shop isn't very big, just enough space for a small line to form for ordering and then waiting to pick up drinks. All customers are taking these to go, there's no room or seats to linger.

It leans more dessert than drink, with a really smooth mango flavor, creamy coconut, and those small sago pearls that give it a great texture without feeling too heavy.

Even with so many bubble tea spots nearby, this is one I consistently pick without overthinking it.

    Even though this area of Prince Street has probably 7 or 8 different bubble tea places, I've been…read moreconsistently coming back to HeyTea. Everything I've had so far has been delicious, not too sweet, a generous portion, & actually never too long of a wait. Probably the longest was 15 minutes. All the teas in the area are $7.50 - 9 & very Jasmine green tea-focused, but I'm happy with HeyTea (M-lly Tea & Tea Sch-lar were fine. Maybe HeyTea markets their drinks better?) HeyTea drinks have good flavor, quality ingredients, and well-crafted & executed layers. Now I understand why they're so popular & glad I didn't come sooner because my habit would have been even worse. I've had these (less sweet, less ice): (all have a green tea base) - Jasmine Cloud King (the OG) - Jasmine Matcha Cloud King - Crisp Grape Boom (a bit slushy, bits of real red grape) - Mango Coconut Sago (perfect dessert, a traditional Cantonese soup dessert) Like the tiny sago boba instead of the regular size. Coconut square jellies too. No caffeine version available. - Blue Coconut Matcha Cloud Still have to try a Matcha one. The shop is a good size with a lot of waiting room. 1 table & a high counter at the front window. I've seen a small group of professionals either de-briefing or meeting over tea. But the space isn't really conducive for long-term use or work. The staff seem pretty relaxed, most are bilingual, & they seem like seasoned baristas. Proud of what they make. One suggestion /recommendation would be to move the TV screen with the order numbers to a more visible spot. It's currently against the right side wall with an overhang slightly blocking it. Maybe this angle disperses the crowd though?
