This tea shop is by an entrance of Tangram. If you have passed by before, you've probably been hit with the smell of black tea or their bubble waffle batter cooking. Similar to a lot of the bubble tea places around, getting service is very easy as you order from a kiosk. I usually come here to try out different fillings in these bubble waffles because they have a lot of interesting different types but this time I saw that they started adding pineapple bun topping on top of the bubble waffles as well! I was super excited because I have only seen that being done in Hong Kong so far. I really enjoyed the sweet topping as it added an extra texture to my bubble waffle, however, my sister and her boyfriend got the original waffles and it was pretty disappointing. We are use to our bubble waffles being nice and crispy and even though the flavor was on point, the texture of their fell extremely flat even though we ate it while it was fresh. I will be back to try different ones of their bubble waffles in the future and hope that this was just a onetime thing. read more

I do like the setup at this place. The ordering system is a large screen displaying all the items clearly, and the whole process is straightforward. You can get your order quickly, and that kind of forward thinking is something I genuinely appreciate. The egg waffle mini pancakes, however, were a bit of a letdown. The flavor just was not there, and that was disappointing. Wifey pointed out that they were not as soft on the inside as they should be, which was a miss for her. At six dollars a pop, you would at least expect them to hold up against the ones you used to grab from street vendors for $1 back in the day. Unfortunately, that was not the case. read more

Wow, their milk tea is so strong I can smell it from the hallway down from them! I should try it one day along with their cool pineapple bun egg tart waffle. Tangram was packed and busy, as was this shop located inside. It took a while for my order considering I just got egg tart waffles. I expected more egg tart flavoring but it was really just egg custard inside the waffles that were disproportionately places inside each "bubble". It was still an interesting menu item and pretty good, so I'll definitely come back to try the other menu items. read more

Good selection of snacks / pastries and also superb drinks The HK style tea is worth trying, it has really fragrant aroma and tastes really well. Paired my drink with a "pineapple" bun with butter, and it was such a good match Inside only has a few tables, not a lot of seating Workers are super professional and orders are kept churning, not too long of a wait, maybe a few minutes Great spot if you're missing HK style desserts and tea read more

This weekend was my first time trying Cuppa Tea in the Tangram mall. I always passed by it when I go to Pop Mart and finally I gave it a try. I was disappointed at the waiting time that I had to wait for my milk tea, matcha egg waffles, and pineapple buttered bun. I had to wait 25 minutes for my whole order to be ready! It was ridiculous waiting for that long! I placed my order with the self kiosk and it was that long! I couldn't believe it. There were 4 self kiosks in total and many people placing their orders. It was that popular and crowded. I tried out their milk tea and it was Hong Kong style. It was just the right amount of sweetness to make the tea good and not bitter. The matcha egg waffle was a bit greasy and broke apart when I looked into the bag. It was a lot of egg waffle pieces. Not sweet at all and somewhat slightly matcha in my mouth. It was not that strong of a matcha flavor that I really wanted out of it. The pineapple bun with the butter was very delicious with the butter even though it is fattening! I know I'm going to get high cholesterol from this but it was so worth it to try out the bun with the piece of butter. The self kiosk allowed me to put the butter aside or in the bun. Luckily I tried out the bun with the butter. Next time I might get it again if I pass by here. read more

Passed by this place three times on separate occasions and I finally have time today to try out this spot. The store is located on the corner. The store has kiosk to order items and a pick up area to pick up your items. There are a couple of seats for people to sit down and enjoy their food. I ordered a bubble tea and a pineapple bun. The bubble tea is great. I like the presentation of the pineapple burn. However, the butter tasted a bit weird. It tasted like a fridge taste. read more

Hong Kong style tea that you can order in their famous jar. I like it a lot as I like a strong tea. This time I got their fruit tea with jelly. Surprisingly, this was the first time I got jelly in my beverage ever! I got the mango passion fruit and it was so good! The jelly didn't really have a flavor and it wasn't too sweet of a beverage (I always get less sugar anyway). Finally, they offer a bunch of different food items including the bubble waffle. I always end up here after a big meal so I haven't tried them yet, but they do look yummy! Order on a kiosk and it's pretty quick. The staff is nice and they do a great job of making your beverages fast. It's right by one of the entrances to Tangram so it's great for get in and out and away from the old quick. read more

Cuppa Tea has been pretty busy most of the times I pass through and always fills the hallway with a delicious waffle smell. I tried the salted egg yolk filked egg waffle and sadly did not taste the salted egg yolk. I've also tried their pineapple bun with butter and it did not taste super fresh and soft. It has a few tables, good for chit chatting and enjoying milk tea. read more

This spot is located by the Pop Mart and theater. I was excited to try this place, but was a but underwhelmed. Mango coconut drink wasn't bad, it did it's job. We got the egg custard tart and plain. It lacked flavor and took a while to make. The plain one was already sitting there, it was not a fresh one so it was cold. You order through the kiosk, did not have much interaction with the staff. read more

I ordered on the kiosk and some of the options were weird. We had to choose no ice or else we couldn't check out. The picture shows a jar, but when I got it, it was in a cup. I was a little disappointed, because I wanted to take it for later and the cup was harder to transport. It was also a bit of a wait. The tea was nice and strong, but towards the end, I got a bit tired of it. The only redeeming bit was that my cousin got one of their pineapple buns with butter and it was actually one of the best buns we've had. It's on the corner right when you walk into Tangram mall. read more

Not sure the hype of the pineapple buns from here. I never had it and was excited to try it today! Is the bun supposed be lukewarm??? I thought the butter was supposed to melt??? Confused but definitely didn't think it was delicious. It was definitely just an ok for me. More like i won't get it again. Tea on the other hand it was good. It was crowded but we were handle to get a table and chilled a bit in the mall. read more

I came back to Cuppa Tea and ordered at the kiosk. I got the Signature Hk Milk Tea (iced) and added pearls. Last time, I had gotten the glass bottle so I didn't need it again this time. The Signature Hk Milk Tea is very good. It is smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The pearls were great and not overly chewy. My husband got the Mango Passionfruit Jelly Iced Tea and he really enjoyed it. It was very refreshing. After ordering, it doesn't take long for it to be ready (less than 10 minutes). You can also track on the screens if your drink is in progress or ready. Staff were friendly. Next time, I definitely want to try the Pineapple Butter Bun and egg waffles. It can be very warm inside the store, but it smells so good. read more

Tried their egg waffle and unfortunately they were pretty bad :( even though they were made to order, my egg waffle got cold while I was waiting for the second egg waffle to be made. They were not crispy at all and was quite soggy. There was not much flavor to it other than the fact that they were sweet. I normally always finish my food but it was just so bad that I had to throw it out after eating half of it. Maybe their other food and drinks items are better but I'm not sure if I would come back after this read more

I'm biased because I love Hong Kong food. Hk milk tea is the best here. I order it everytime if you like milk tea that is strong. The matcha egg waffle didn't have much matcha taste. I would have preferred it to be crunchier. It was all soft. Overall good, but has room for improvement. read more

Came for the popular egg tart egg waffle and it was overall good but not something I would wait an hour for (which is the usual wait time). Staff was aloof and while focused on their work, they weren't friendly with customers. The space is wheelchair and baby stroller accessible, on a bright note. However, seating area is rather narrow and not very comfortable when there is a line of people waiting for their orders, which is common. In the end, good with many areas for operational and experiential improvement. read more

This place has one of the best HK Milk Tea. The velvet milk tea is very smooth. The egglets (bubble waffles) are soft in the inside. The warm pineapple bun with a slab of butter is delicious though not good for folks with high cholesterol. The lemon tea brings back childhood memories. You go to the kiosks to order using a debit/credit card or go to the counter to pay in cash. The employees call your number to have you come pick up your items. Go enjoy! read more

We only ordered the egg waffles. They were just okay. They had a decent taste, but the exterior was not crispy and there was barely any matcha/chocolate taste. We thought the chocolate one would have some melted chocolate inside like a lot of places that sell egg waffles, but there wasn't. It was just chocolate flavored batter hahah. Would we wait a half hour again for them? Probably not ;( read more

Ok i see why it takes so long but man i wish i didnt have to wait so long. The egg tart one definitely was worth the wait. Fresh and hot and so tasty!

This shop is located on the far side of Tangram mall and another entrance on Prince street. I ordered on the kiosk instead of their app, because I wasn't able to. Luckily, it wasn't crowded so the kiosk was free to use. I tried a couple of their snacks. The aroma from the shop always suck me in. Pineapple bun with butter - not bad. I took it to-go, and the butter can be put aside for you. Heat up the bun when I got home and stuck the cold butter inside. Hong Kong milk tea - cute bottle it comes in. The tea flavor isn't as strong as I would like, but it hits the spot when I have cravings. Pork floss egg waffle - not worth it. I could taste vanilla flavor more than egg. Too skimpy on the pork floss, so I could barely taste anything. Out of the 30 pieces (should be 30), I could only taste about 3 that has. Salted egg egg waffle - this is my favorite and why I come. Stick to this if you like salty sweet combinations. Although, the salted egg is subtle, it is noticeable. Egg waffle is what I crave for very often and not much places makes it anymore. read more

Located inside Tangram Mall, Cuppa Yea specializes in Hong Kong Milk Tea drinks that are full of flavor. Public transportation is preferred. However, if you are driving into Flushing, parking is available via garage and meter parking. I've been here a couple of times, and the drinks are superb. I usually go for the Signature HK Milk Tea. I love how bold the flavor is. This establishment has some tables and chairs available, but if it's full, you can go to the open space inside Tangram Mall to find a seat. There were a few times when I came here for their Signature HK Milk Tea, but they told me that I had to wait an hour. If you are going to be at the mall for an extended amount of time, you can always prser it and come back later. I love how their drinks come in a glass bottle. After drinking it, you can always use it for something else, which is an environmentally friendly thing to do. Sometimes, you can see one of the staff make the drink in front of you as they pour the drink into a cloth strainer, which is pretty cool. Their Curry Fishball is full of flavor but is a bit on the pricy side for the amount that it comes with. I prefer their milk tea based drinks over their fruit flavored drinks. I have yet to try the Egg Waffle but hope to order it in the nearby future. I think this is one place that is a must visit when you're at Tangram Mall. read more

Although we didn't get a drink here, it's all about their Pineapple Butter Bun ($3.65). Once you're inside, the sweet aroma of the baked goods surround you. They also have various options for egg waffles too, but just tried the pineapple bun, which was delicious. It is warm and soft sandwiching a chunk of butter to give it an extra creaminess. It's the perfect snack while strolling around Flushing. read more

The service was good for the amount of customers they had. It was quick in making all the things on the list. The overall ambiance was simple and cute decorated like a HK vibe. The Milk tea was okay. It wasn't too strong and too sweet but it was lacking something that I can't seem to point out. The bubble waffle was good, it wasn't that sweet but it was lacking the crispy. The pineapple bun was good and crispy. I just the butter melted a bit more. But overall this is a good drop by for bubble tea and HK snacks. read more

The glass bottles for the signature Hong Kong milk tea were super cute, but I managed to restrain myself from buying another bottle I didn't need. The Pineapple Butter Bun is so good! You would think that the slice of butter would be too much, but it's really the perfect amount when it melts into the warm bun. The Signature Hong Kong Milk Tea with Foam Cap and boba is creamy, and this is my favorite HK Milk Tea I've tried yet. The boba is chewy and pairs so well with the foam cap. Since it was busy during the weekend, it took about 15 minutes to get our orders. There's some seating, but it might be hard to snag a table. read more

We went here because we wanted to try the pineapple bun for a snack, so we got that with butter, curry fish balls, and a coconut milk with watermelon. It was a weekend so it was overwhelmingly packed and a bit crowded and there's definitely a bit of a wait time, but it was easy to order. Our favorite was the coconut milk with watermelon - it was so delicious and I would absolutely get them again. Then we liked the curry fishballs and pineapple bun in that order but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go here just to get those things. read more

[NYC BOBA TOUR STOP #48] *My other stops on the boba tour: https://www.yelp.com/collection/4dXTAnFqPHD1D8obaInTZw/nyc-boba-tour We came by later in the night on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy and there was room to sit. The store itself is really cute and a whole vibe-- it's clear Cuppa Tea has a brand and everything, from the cups to the food packaging, is in line with their branding. It's very satisfying. We ordered (rating): Amber Pearl Pudding Milk Tea (2.3/5), Coconut Mango with Clear Jelly (3/5) They unfortunately ran out of their Hong Kong Milk Tea that everyone seems to talk about when it comes to Cuppa Tea, so I went with their Amber Pearl Pudding Milk Tea. Even though it sounded like this would be some kind of special milk tea, this tasted like straight up Chinatown bakery bubble tea (think your Fay Da or Taipan) except it keeps the price tag of a bougie boba place. I found the boba to be oddly slimy and slippery. They also taste like nothing, and sometimes boba just tastes like nothing and it's completely fine, but these tasted so much like nothing that a note I have is that they actively taste like nothing. My friend got the coconut mango, which only comes with a 'less sugar' option, and she found it to be too sweet. She let me try a little and I found it to taste like mango candy rather than a fresh mango drink. The brightest spot was for sure the pineapple bun, which came out warm and with a pad of butter inside that slowly melted from the heat of the bun. I thought it was big and good value for the price, though the butter it came with was THICK. BIG butter, somewhat overwhelming, and I ended up having to wipe a lot off. read more

I happened to walk past it around 5pm on a Sunday. There was a short line but it moved fairly fast. I waited for about 10mins from inputting my order at the kiosk to having my drink ready for pick up. I was super excited when I saw they have the velvet milk tea where sugar is replaced with condensed milk. This was always my go to drink while in Hong Kong. The tea was brewed to order. The flavors were strong yet not bitter which was well balanced with the condensed milk. It was smooth and not overly sweet. This is truly a solid and legit cup of Hong Kong style milk tea which unfortunately is not easily found around the area. The staff were friendly and service was efficient. There's a couple of tables for you to enjoy your drink and the decor is really cute that almost seems like you're transported back to Hong Kong. I'm looking forward to go back to try other drinks and food items on their menu. read more

Came for the HK milk tea on a Saturday early evening 6ish PM and there was an impressive 20min wait for the HK tea! Albeit you can see them brewing and steeping/straining it fresh, pouring it into large colanders into giant metal canisters which is a bit of a show. The aroma fills the little stall inside Tangram. HK MILK TEA - strong, quite delicious and strong tea flavor. Not super sweet though, and what I love about HK tea is that strong condensed milk sweetness but I would say this is some high quality tea, but just a bit different from what I'm used to. But now that I've tried and reflected - I'm sold! read more

I often drop by this Hong Kong based tea shop whenever I get the chance in Tangram Mall. Love getting either the signature Hong Kong styled velvet milk tea with condensed milk and pudding or the winter melon fresh lemonade black iced tea with less ice or no ice and regular sweetness. You can surely taste the rich tea flavor and smoothness from the condensed milk in the milk tea that is freshly brewed each day. The pudding topping does seem to add an additional sweetness and/flavor but nothing overwhelmingly sweet to the drink itself. You can really taste the tartness from the lemon slices without being overly sour and the freshness from the winter melon of the overall lemonade drink. There's even a self-ordering kiosk for people using debit/credit cards, otherwise you can just pay with cash when ordering in the front. Reasonably pricing for the drinks and food inside Tangram Mall. Staff is polite and tend to greet customers for the most part, service can be fast but slower during rush hours and on the weekends. I often see lots of people going to this place for their drinks. The most popular drink is probably another of their signature Hong Kong styled milk tea poured in glass bottles that you can take with you as a souvenir after finishing the drink. There's a designated seating area like 4-5 tables with chairs inside the shop. Sometimes, tables can be a bit dirty because staff doesn't wipe the tables down too often. I like that they've the iconic British red telephone booth as part of the decorations since Hong Kong is once a British colony until 1997 which makes the place so much cuter in my opinion. As for the snacks/food that they offer on the menu, the pineapple bun with butter inside is decently average so nothing to write home about. I dislike that the plain egg waffles are too soft and too moist instead of having a crispy outer texture like the ones in Hong Kong which can be disappointing. Maybe I've gotten a bad batch. They don't have a restroom but you can easily head to the ones in the mall which is just around the corner. Overall, a decent place to stop by if you want a quick drink and/or snack when you're in Flushing. read more

Was recommended this spot to try two things: their HK milk tea and the egg waffles. I have to say I made the mistake in ordering their Hot Coffee Milk Tea with less sugar and wished I gotten it with regular sugar. In terms of the egg waffles, I shared with my gf Salted Egg Yolk and Matcha. Both make a great snack. Super fluffy and warm, which were freshly made from the shop. I have to say that the Salted Egg Yolk taste didn't really come through for me, so it tasted like a plain egg waffle. Overall, not too bad and would get the regular HK milk tea next time rather than the coffee one. read more

TLDR: Cuppa Tea is one one of the better true HK milk teas you can get in Flushing. Stick to the classic snacks, pineapple bun and HK milk tea. Weekends you're going to queue for quite a long time. Go during off hours if possible. While I don't think it's the best HK milk tea in Flushing, it's a very good version of it. It comes in a nice fancy glass bottle for the $6 it cost. The pineapple bun is definitely one of the better ones you'll find in New York. It's crusty, fluffy and the butter is a cold slab - the way it's supposed to be! Coming back from HK recently, Cuppa Tea definitely scratches the itch. read more
