    Curry fish balls

    Cuppa Tea has some awesome breakfast items including a delicious pineapple bun & fish balls (obviously very different items haha). It's a tiny store but there is some seating available. I'd go back to try other items.

    Hot Hong Kong milk tea with boba
    Stephanie C.

    Service was quick despite there only being one person working. The space is small, definitely for grab-and-go. There's a machine with a touch screen to order from or you can order at the counter. I ordered a Hong Kong milk tea with boba. The drinks can't be adjusted for sugar level, which is always unfortunate, but the person making the drinks told me that the hot Hong Kong milk tea could be made without sugar. The boba was on the soft side, especially with the heat, and the tea was bracingly strong, on the verge of scorched, but that was exactly the pick-me-up I was looking for.

    I came here for a sweet drink after dinner and it was great! I didn't see if they had seating inside, but my friend and I sat outside under their patio lights and at a picnic table, and it was a great vibe. We ordered their hot and cold iced milk teas that came in a glass container, and both loved it. The tea flavor was very fragrant and it wasn't too sweet (I asked for mine to be less sweet). Would love to come back to try their egg waffles.

    This was the 1st time coming here. It's small and cluttered but it's one of my friends' favorite places so I had to try it. Lots of good choices but I went with a simple strawberry slush. It was refreshing and not ridiculously sweet. I could have had a large one. I also had the classic egg waffle. I felt like this took long to make but it was delicious when I finally did get it. I missed the grape slush w/ grape jelly which I didn't see on the menu when I was there but then saw on their website menu. I would to have loved to have tried that. There's two person informal seating right in the front but not a relaxing place where you would want to sit and chill. We literally stood there, ate and drank our purchases and left. They have some cute merch. I would have gotten a tote if I already didn't have so many, lol

    Not the cleanest of floors

    Came in on a weekend evening a couple hours before closing. Only had two workers and they seemed pretty slammed with orders. Ordered the egg tart waffle which is I think only around for a limited time. Waffle took about 15min to get although I feel like they just let it sit on the wire rack for way too long while the workers were doing other orders. The waffle itself was fluffy although slightly mangled coming out of the waffle iron. Didn't really get a ton of egg tart flavor though. The space itself was pretty dirty and could've definitely used a sweeping. But I figure with just two workers focused on orders things just fell through the cracks. There are some seats. The back has a bunch of game rooms which is confusing. It's all in Chinese so maybe I just need to be more literate. At any rate, I might come back here for a snack or something if I'm passing by, but probably not something I'd recommend especially going out of the way for.

    They have the best egg waffles, filled with all types of fillings! We tried the egg tart one and it was amazing. My favorite is the salted egg and we also tried the orange green tea. It was refreshing but I enjoy their milk teas more.

    Pineapple Butter Bun / 冰火菠萝油Pineapple
    Gavin L.

    This is a great authentic Hong Kong breakfast/ dessert cafe! In Hong Kong, these are the types of street foods and breakfast foods you'd eat so it was a great taste of home! The milk tea has a strong tea taste and uses condensed milk as a sweetener. If you're into tea and authentic tasting milk tea, I would highly recommend it because this is the real thing. The pineapple butter bun was also good, but I feel like there are better places for pineapple buns in NY! Nevertheless, it was still really good and soft.

    Somewhat secluded boba spot at the end of the block that specializes in HK style bevs and snacks. The Mango Passionfruit Jelly Iced Tea was refreshing - I got it with 0% added sugar, since the fruit syrup had the perfect amount of sweetness already. The Curry Fishballs were delicious and was a perfect warm snack on a cold day. Their Pineapple Butter Bun and Egg Waffle (made fresh) both paired perfectly with their drinks! They have a back area with more seating and some board games, as well as a clean restroom for customers. Staff here is very friendly!

    The tea pour!

    There's lots of bubble tea places in LIC but what distinguishes this one is the "signature Hong Kong milk tea" here. Looks like they make the tea fresh frequently. You get real tea- none of that watered down stuff! There's only one sugar level- it's very lightly sweetened. It comes in a nice glass jar that makes it easy sip throughout the day. Definitely more than what you'd get at other places for a lower price as well. The staff working was very nice and took time to explain to me the different options. They seemed happy to work here. Would come back to try the pastries- they appear popular here

    Authentic Hong Kong style breakfast & boba & dessert & coffee place! They really have some good deals going on, you can check their app for their daily specials , such as $4 any drink on Thursdays. So far I have tried their hazelnut coffee, pineapple butter bun, and pineapple fruit jelly tea, loved all of them. The pineapple butter bun was a pleasant surprise, I never knew butter can taste so good. The servers there are incredibly helpful and patient. I have not dined in, but this place could be great for friends hangout.

    Pineapple Butter Bun
    Emily G.

    Ive only tried the pineapple butter bun. It was delicious. The butter had a slight saltiness to it, which went well with the slight sweetness of the pineapple bun. It's served warmed up, with the butter room temp/cold. Only has like 2 seats inside at a high top table. They serve lots of drinks and also egg waffle sundaes.

    Signature Hong Kong Milk Tea
    Gab G.

    Great new tea and snack spot in the Court Square area! I tried the cold signature HK milk tea, classic egg waffle and pineapple butter bun. The employee who helped me was very friendly. The bun was actually my favorite, though the waffle was also great. Milk tea was tasty as well and the glass bottle is fun. Need to try the passionfruit slush and chocolate waffle next time.

    stopped into Paris Baguette the other day and it's exactly what you want from a chain like this…read more Not pretending to be artisanal, but still hitting a solid level of quality. I grabbed a ham and cheese croissant and a strawberry soft cream cake. The croissant was actually flaky with a decent butter flavor, not dry or bready like a lot of chain spots. The ham wasn't cheap-tasting either, which I half expected. The strawberry cake was light and not overly sweet, more whipped cream than sugar bomb, which made it easy to finish without feeling gross. Also tried their iced latte. Nothing fancy, but it wasn't burnt or watery, which honestly already puts it above a lot of similar chains. What stands out is consistency. You can walk into almost any location and know exactly what you're getting. Display is always stocked, everything looks clean, and the ordering process is quick even when it's busy. It's not a destination bakery, but that's not the point. It's a reliable, better-than-average stop when you want something quick that still feels a little elevated.

    Even though I like supporting, small, independent businesses, this franchise location is very…read moreconvenient and always stocked with fresh pastries foods, & cakes. The staff is really nice and easy-going. Also, the young (I think) 2nd Gen owner (very cool seeing the culture carried on) is there a lot. Everything is freshly baked and a good portion. Even the sandwiches and salads in the packaged food case look really good. I've had the custard cream bun, hotdog garlic roll, & a egg, ham & hash brown roll (wasn't a huge fan, the hash brown doesn't stay crispy). I've tried the Portuguese egg tart (Pastel de Nata) & that wasn't so great - reminded me of the egg tarts from Aldi, sweet bland filler custard. The staff can heat the pastries up for you, but it might take at least two rounds for larger items. Highly recommend the round fried rice flour/mochi doughnut, soboro bao (the peanut butter crust-topped bun) & if they have, a coffee/mocha shell-topped bao. You can't go wrong with a Korean chiffon cake slice - not too sweet, and light as air buttercream. Not sure if the strawberry cake is based off of Japanese strawberry (birthday) cake. I've never had their drinks, so don't have a review about them. I don't get the impression that the drinks are the strength of the café. Paris Baguette is a chain from Korea. I think their cafés in Korea are a lot bigger and very nice/comfortable, the US version is a more minimal and quick service kind of set up. For $4 -15 you can get a decent pastry, sandwich, or salad which is a great option for the area, LaGuardia Community College students & hotel guests nearby.

    I stumbled upon this place by accident while driving. I knew i had to come in and try them out. I…read moredid and it was worth it. I am a pastry fanatic after all. They just opened at the end of April to early May 2022. From the name of this shop, i naturally assumed they only sold pastries. Aside from pastries, and to my surprise, they also sell diner fast food (i.e., burgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries, etc.). I had no idea. The name can throw one off. People would naturally think it's a pastry shop. It's an interesting mix of fast food and pastries. They have a decent selection of sliced cakes/pastries, which include red velvet, creme brulee, strawberry shortcake, and tiramisu. I believe they also prepare large cakes for special occasions like birthdays and weddings. I was really happy with my purchase and would totally return. The place is clean, has seating, and the cashier was really nice. It's also just nice to see more variety of stores opening in this area. The north side of Queens Blvd in LIC is seriously lacking in options. The flavor to the pastries were lite, which i enjoyed because sometimes you just don't want pastries drenched in sugar where it's enough to kill a charging elephant in Africa. It all tasted great and the cream puff with the vanilla filling was to die for! The hot food was really good also. It felt refreshing and not oily at all. I got the banh mi chicken sandwich, along with some appetizers. All were really good. Come check this place out and SUPPORT them!

I do think Roam (which is right around the corner) makes a better strawberry shortcake, but Shero is a good option if you're looking for a lower price point. They also have bahn mi and other hot snacks/food. Would try the pineapple cake next time!
