Stopped by Debutea for a quick lunch. The staff is fast and friendly and the restaurant is clean. I love the seating by the window. Let's you people watch! New York knows food, and you can't go very far without finding a great family owned resilient business that is thriving through these hard times. Tri Color Poke was delicious. Great fresh flavors with generous portions. I will return. read more

This place has some of the best drinks - their fruit tea is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried, and I've tried a lot. I constantly miss their giant cups of signature fruit tea when I'm back in the bay area. They load up their tea with a bunch of fruit and attach a fork for you to eat it when you're finished with your drink. I recommend this place when friends come to visit out of state - the Coco Mango is also one of the best! I'm pretty sure that the shop recognizes my order because I come here so much - I can't rave about this place enough. What we ordered: Signature Fruit Tea Coco Mango YangZhiGanLu read more

I recently accompanied my friend to pick up her Too Good To Go bag. It seemed like they weren't prepared and just made us 2 drinks with boba. One was regular green tea without milk or sweetener and the other was a black peach tea, again without milk or sweetener. For the price of $5 we weren't complaining bc tea is always great to have. The boba tasted great in both but the black peach tea was just undrinkable. It was so so so bitter that I can't imagine they poured it from a leftover pitcher that served others! I have not ordered their milk teas before but will probs steer clear after this. read more

I've always been a fan of Debutea, so when I found out they have a location in Brooklyn I just HAD to visit. The Brooklyn location is significantly larger than the Manhattan location with lots of indoor seatings available, and yes there is a restroom! I went with my usual (jasmine tea with extra cheese foam) and it tastes as amazing as I remembered :) read more

Love this place! Best post-rock climbing treat and the staff are quick and super friendly

The mango drink and salmon avocado onigiri were amazing! There was real mashed mango in the drink, which also came with other toppings and had lactose-free whole milk, which I appreciated. The onigiri was also very good! A little pricy but worth it imo. read more

By far my only favorite bubble tea spot in bK. Everything is fresh and delicious. I always get extra extra cheese foam. The service is friendly and quick. It's a nice place to bring your laptop and get work done. Decorating is beautiful. Pull the front door hard to open it. read more

I stopped by the Brooklyn location of Debutea a few times in the past, but lately, I've been really into this cafe again. It's nestled on the corner of State and Smith Sts, on a relatively quiet stretch of Smith St and has so much sunlight. The space is decorated with gorgeous flower arrangements, some of which they do sell as I hear they host a flower arranging class on weekends. There are plenty of seating available, most with outlets, and free WiFi. I've found Debutea to be a really nice place to get some work done, and the reward of a delicious fruit tea is always an excellent motivator for me. So far, my favorites remain their Grapefruit Harvest ($6.50) and their Pinkglow Pineapple ($8) but I've yet to try their entire fruit tea menu and their seasonal specials. read more

I'm not even gonna lie I have no idea what we ordered (we let the bobarista pick) but it was perfection and exactly what we wanted. The large was huge and took 2 of us to finish. I think the tea had jasmine, coconut, sago, and pomelo. And a bit of cinammon? Tasted great. But mad expensive though. Almost $10. Prices nowadays are crazy Ambiance is so good though. Cafe had a front and back. Lots of seating and different arrangements. People were there to chill and have casual conversation, others were working/studying. Bathroom is also available and clean. Aesthetics are nice. read more

The atmosphere in here is great! The shop is spacious with plenty of tables and outlets if you're coming in to do work. WiFi is free and there's a bathroom code for customers. An extra plus is they stay open well into the evening. The shop stays fairly consistently busy with people coming in and out, and the music isn't too loud; it's the perfect amount of background noise if you're not bothered by the sounds of a busy tea shop. I ordered a strawberry matcha which was nice and subtle. Would come back to try other food/drinks. read more

Personally the two drinks I ordered was very watered down: Jasmine green milk tea lacked flavor and was a liquid non flavored drink. Strawberry milk was said to be good on the strawberry, yet still missing the element of a good drink. Overall, not a fan. Could be because of the time, we came around 7:30pm. Regular Bubbles were soft, no Q texture, and so were the taro bubble. Just missing elements of a good bubble tea drink. Very sad. I would go back to try the soy milk tea tho, was eyeing the mochi balls on the menu. read more

This space is so large & cozy..even if you don't want tea it seems like a perfect spot to read or get some work done. I stopped by on a Monday night and it was pretty empty so I was in and out quickly. I got the pink lychee which might be a seasonal special since it wasn't on the official menu posted. It was light and refreshing with fresh lychee inside. I believe it came up to about $8 for the drink which is a little pricey but common for things in this area. Was it the best bubble tea? Not really, but it got the job done & left me satisfied. read more

Safe to say that Debutea is CONSISTENTLY GOOD. I've been a couple more times and their boba is always so soft, chewy, and fresh! I still stick to the tea drinks, and appreciate that a lot of them are non dairy. It's my go to and fave boba spot in the area ! read more

I have always passed this area on Smith street without fully checking it out until now. I get bubble tea every now and then so I don't go deep into finding new places. But I realized that this place is so much more. This place serves the following: sushi, sashimi, poke (with burritos), salads, appetizers you find on a sushi menu (edamame, seaweed salad, etc), coffee and more. It serves as a cafe/restaurant as it has wifi available and varied seating for what your purpose is (laptop work, talking with a friend). Aesthetically, it is really pretty and showcases art for sale plus events like flower arrangement on a few posters located in the place. They also have outdoor seating which would be great in the warmer times. I tried the salmon and avocado onigiri cause I needed a quick bite to eat. The fish to rice ratio was nice though the salmon was a bit on the dry side in my opinion. It was near the end of the day and my order came quick so I can't complain. Because of its convenient location (near Hoyt Schermerhorn and so many buses), the available wifi and seating (which as a combo is not readily available in the immediate area), this is a good place to work. Keep in mind that so many businesses/work places are in the area so it can get busy plus students would come here after school as well read more

This place is so cute! The interior is pretty large with a decent amount of seating and great natural light, so it's a really nice place to sit and relax, or bring your laptop to do work. I ordered a large chestnut bobo tea, warm, and the worker said they don't do sugar adjustments for this drink. The drink itself was pretty decent - it came layered with milk, boba, and a thick chestnut purée at the bottom, all topped with cream. It surprisingly wasn't too sweet, as the milk itself wasn't sweetened. It was a little hard to mix since the chestnut at the bottom was really thick, but the purée added great flavor and the drink really just tasted like pure chestnut. The boba was also really nice and chewy. I did think it had tea in it when I ordered it though, since it is called bobo tea, and I was a little disappointed by that. We paid over $10 for one drink, so they're definitely pricey but well made, and I want to come back to try the signature coco mango drink, since that one looked really amazing as well. read more

We've been waiting so long for this place to open! They have a huge variety of teas - fruit tea, boba, cheese foam. The Signature Fruit Tea is refreshing. It's just sweet enough and comes with a mix of fruits that you can eat with a fork. The indoor environment is quite large and very nice. I can't wait to come back once COVID-19 lockdown is over! read more

I visited Debutea while on a work assignment in Brooklyn and from the moment I saw it, I knew I needed to try it out. Debutea has bubble tea and that's exactly what I got. I also had the rice balls which were a great treat, I loved the flavors and variety. The service was pretty good, there was a lot of people inside but not long or busy lines as people had been served already. The place is spacious and easily accommodates many people. Very chill place with good vibes. I would recommend read more

Stumbled across this cute boba/snack place at the corner and I'm glad I tried it! Very spacious area with lots of seating, long tables and tables along the window. Nice decor inside, gives coffee shop vibes. Good areas to come with friends and chill or to study and read a book. I give it a 4 because it's a little pricy for small cup. Two drinks came to about $17 which is pricy for a small cup. Coco mango was good (diary free) wish there was sago instead of the big coconut jelly. Pretty good and not too sweet. Needed a little more mango. The milky strawberry was good too. Weird that this one game in a nicer cup. It's really good, like milk and strawberry purée but after you finish all the strawberry at the bottom it's just milk. Not bad, pretty tasty. Cute place to come and study. Drinks were good but pricy. Workers and nice read more

One of my favorite fruit teas I've had! Their classic fruit tea comes chock-full with watermelon, kiwi, oranges, and more! You can't change sweetness on any of their fruit teas, so mine was a little sweeter than I would normally go for. Their boba was really soft and slightly sweet, which is my favorite. The drinks were a bit pricier than other places, though. My drink turned out to be $8 after adding boba. The interior was super cute, and it looked like quite a few people were working on their laptops. The only thing is that the shop has huge glass windows, so it was pretty hot in there. I'd definitely come back to try more of their drinks! read more

Tasty bubble tea & lots of different non dairy milk alternatives! I've tried the bobo milk tea, taro milk tea, a veggie poke burrito, & veggie (seaweed salad) onigiri. The poke burrito was messy to eat and very plain. I didn't care for it and wouldn't reorder. The veggie onigiri had WAYYY too much rice vinegar, when I opened the container it smelled like nail polish! But both milk teas were yummy. The tapioca pearls are perfect, not too tough, not too soft, & they gave me a lot. I do think the delicious fresh taro paste could've been mixed in a bit more though, and I'm positive that they gave me almond milk instead of oat as I requested. They are a bit pricey, I paid a little over $8 for my drink, but as a vegan who can't get non dairy milk tea from most establishments, I would return if I were in the area. read more

Ok first of all I'm sooo happy that this business was able to open in the middle of a pandemic! I can't wait to one day be able to sit inside their beautiful space and sip a fresh tea with boba while browsing their book selection. In the meantime I've had their tea to go and it was truly delicious. One of the best in the neighborhood (and there's A LOT of competition). Second of all, I was able to eat Debutea's poke the other day while sitting at one of their tables outside (they have a few tables for two) and it was THE BEST poke bowl I've ever had. I don't say this lightly as I've been eating poke all over the city since it became popular 6 or so year ago. This poke is legit. I had the half & half bowl (tuna and salmon) but I will definitely have to make my way down the menu. Every ingredient in the bowl was fresh and not over-sauced. The rice was fresh and warm. It was perfection. So happy to have Debutea here! read more

My absolute favorite boba spot in the city. The boba is always fresh, their milks are great (they offer a variety of nondairy options), the drinks are never too sweet, and I've liked every flavor I've tried. My favorite is the peach oolong - I did not expect to like milk and peach flavors together but it's incredible. The poke bowls at this location are good! They are made to order and the ingredients are fresh. The cafe itself is very cute and has plenty of space to do work, with each table having multiple outlets within reach. A great spot to work from remotely. read more

My friends and I decided to stop by here for bubble tea after lunch. The place itself was super cute with a lot of indoor seating and they also check your vaccination cards prior to sitting down. They take your order up in the front and then call your name if you sit to pick up your order. One of my friends got a hot chestnut latte with bubbles which she thought was just alright - she does not recommend if you are not a huge fan of chestnut since the chestnut flavor was pretty heavy. It also was just warm not super hot. I decided to get the mango fresh fruit tea which was really tasty - they used fresh mango in the drink and the fresh mango went really well with the green tea. My other friend got the Chacha Melon which was a matcha watermelon drink and it had a very unique presentation in layers of red and green. She did like her drink as well. Overall - cute place to come with friends or to even study. They have fairly unique drinks and while they are on the pricer side; but they are all pretty much a large. So definitely recommend coming here and i can see myself coming back here in the future. read more

I love this place. This is my THIRD DAY IN A ROW COMING HERE LOL-- Let me start with that. I came across this place as I was waiting for my dentist appointment around the corner, and saw that they had boba. I walked in and it was like walking into a lovely garden full of flowers and lots of seating. They have lux tables in the front, window seats, and a whole section in the back as well. Tons of outlets, strong wifi, and really lovely ambience. I ordered the: Onigiris - 1 Salmon + avo, 1 eel, 1 crab and lobster. Let me tell youuu, they are delicious. The rice is perfect white rice and warm, and there is a ton of filling on the inside. Whoever is making these needs to get a raise, seriously it's not just like typical onigiris that are 95% rice and a dash of filling. The furikake that layers the sides is good quality as well. I know it's just onigiri, but it was prolly one of the best I've had in a while. Soybean Latte - This was great as well and not too sweet. It tastes more like a regular milk tea than it does injeoulmi or soybean, but stilly good. They give you 4 dangos (mochi balls) on the top dipped in the poweder. A perfect drink to warm you up that doesn't give you diabetes. Overall, I'm so happy I found this place to the point where I'm literally here.. the 3rd day in a row! It's lovely and I would recommend it 10/10. They have SO many boba options from hot to cold, fruits to milks to cheese foam, literally their menu is extensive -- i promise you'll find something you like. Give it a try! read more

This cafe has so many drink and food options - from milk tea, their signature fruit tea, to even poke bowls. Their drinks are on the more expensive side but a good excuse to treat yourself.

Debutea is a reliable place to study, get some work done, and hangout in downtown Brooklyn due to its ample seating, strong wifi, and clean bathroom. The ambiance here is super nice and I love all the decor. The staff is really sweet even when they are telling me I need to leave. I've had the bbq eel onigiri and it is BOMB. The salmon avocado one is okay, I wouldn't get it again. The drinks here are good but a little bit steep. The salmon poke was pretty good with a lot of toppings. I've been here on several occasions and never had a bad experience. They have plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and the staff was always wearing masks. read more

Overall, the fruit tea was decent. You don't really taste the tea flavor. You also have the option to make it boozy. Definitely give this place a try people! read more

This was pretty good. If I had the option I'd do 3.5 stars. Had the pink glow pineapple tea with "fruit tea boba" and the bobo milk tea. The boba consistency in the milk tea was good; it would have been nice to have a stronger tea flavor. The pink glow pineapple tea was good, very sweet, it would have been nice to be able to adjust the sweetness. And I thought I'd try whatever the "fruit tea boba" is; turns out it's just crystal boba. I wish bubble tea places would just call it what it is, cause if I knew it was crystal boba I would have just gotten regular boba. read more

Debutea - Brooklyn - Bobo milk tea and pink glow pineapple tea - Poke Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

TLDR: authentic and not too sweet (the highest compliment an Asian person can give) boba tea!!! Second time coming to Debutea and it still slaps. I got the iced taro milk tea and it is definitely one of the most unique drinks I've ever had. They use REAL taro in their drink (NOT the fake powder stuff that boba stores typically give you) and so that translates to a thicker consistency. It's blended with milk and a bit of brown sugar syrup but the drink it just the perfect amount of sweetness - very lightly sweetened by that brown sugar mixture. Their hot version of this taro milk tea is lovely in the winter - warms the soul right up read more

I was walking up through the neighbourhood to my bus when I spotted this place. They had the cutest drink pictures in the window so I went inside to check it out. It looked kind of like a really cool cafe where people came to do work. Then I noticed they had a few little pastries and different drink options. My curiosity drew me towards the little bottle with boba. I asked which drinks came within and there were only 2 choices strawberry milk something and "old faithful", so I went with the Brown sugar milk tea than with boba. I asked for 50% sugar, was told there is only the boba for sweetness, which was great for me. Not too sweet. The looks from one of the patrons was definitely sour. My friend that was with me watched them prepare my drink and noticed that they didn't put any tea inside the container. I brought it up to the lady after taking a sip and she said I only needed to shake it, the tea was resting in the bottom. In retrospect, I should have shaken it right there on the spot, as opposed to waiting, because there was not one drop of tea in that bottle. It was a $7 bottle of Brown sugar boba milk! Ugh! I called back and ask a few questions about my tea and the lady on the phone asked the person who prepared it and they claim they put tea in it just not a lot. She asked was I coming back to the store and I'd gotten really far away, so I declined. She said for the next time I visited I need to ask for more tea or order a latte. What? If you knew that this was an item that was literally milk and boba you might have said something when I asked before I left! I ended up making tea and adding it to it when I got home and it wasn't too bad. The boba had a great texture but the brown sugar was definitely added at the end of the cooking process not giving that unique caramel-like flavor through and through. This place is definitely more ambiance than substance. read more

Good fruit teas! This place has a lot of unique fruit tea flavors and other drinks! My favorite so far has been anything with pink pineapple! This is the only place I've had pink pineapple and imo more places should serve drinks with this fruit. All the drinks are not too sweet which I like. My only complaint is that this place can be too pricey for one drink compared to other options. read more

This is officially one of my favourite bubble tea shops. Every drink has such a strong CONCEPT it is unreal. I've tried so many flavours and each one has been incredible.. going to do my best to list them here: Strawberry bobo - fresh. strawberry. jam. it's refreshing, sweet and tart coco mango - liquid mango sticky rice - IYKYK Strawberry sunset - similar to strawberry bobo but more refreshing and starts out with a green tea fragrance, ends in that good ol fresh strawberry sweetness Strawberry bobo - this is the strawberry milk you've only DREAMED of. the peak perfection of strawberry milk... grape wizard - ever wanted to just drink grapes? nows your chance grape nebula - tastes like a field of dandelions, spring came early!! avocado crush - yes, avocados can be refreshing too!!!! bobo milk tea - solid quality brown sugar w amazing pearls purple yam bobo tea - one thing you gotta try if you want something filling, subtly sweet, and delicious at the same time. ALSO don't forget to try their taro balls... truly game changing taro bobo tea - compared to the purple yam this one is sweeter and smoother, but i like both it just depends on the mood of the day broth / onigiri rice balls - one of the best deals, super fresh and delicious, and this broth... i could drink it forever!! sakura pineapple: feels and looks like a fragrant milkshake/frap-- you won't really taste the tart of the pineapple, more sweetness plus pink marshmallows ANYWAY what I think I'm trying to say is i am obsessed and i am determined to try the whole menu. also need to take more pics read more

I've been to the Thompson Street location a couple times last year and was pleasantly surprised to see Debutea settled in this part of Brooklyn, also last year. This space is a lot bigger than its Greenwich Village sister and the menu is more extensive. Although indoor dining has resumed with limited capacity, it appeared that seating was off limits. Since it was chilly out and I was passing by, a warm, soothing beverage came to mind. I stayed away from the Cheese tea--not a fan when I first visited Debutea in the Village and I also wasn't looking to spend $7. I browsed the tea latte section which I predicted would be a winner. The barista was friendly and offered her opinion on a few of the lattes from the menu suggesting the black tea latte and fresh peach oolong latte. I ultimately settled for their Jasmine Tea Latte with regular milk. They offer Soy, Oat and Almond milk as well of which the last two are an additional charge. For 16 ounces, my beverage was $4.36 which was quite reasonable. Compare this to the popular franchise coffee spots that sweeten their coffee with artificial syrups and cost a lot more. When I tried it, I instantly liked it---soothing, not sweet with the Jasmine tea flavor being prominent. Really delicious. I was unaware that this location serves Poke and salads which I will keep in mind for a future visit. This location will definitely be a fun hangout spot once the pandemic becomes a memory (keeping positive). In the meantime, I will return when in the area for my tea fix. read more

My new favorite spot for drinks! I love how they have an array of items on the menu. I have tried most of the drinks on the menu, and nothing has dissatisfied me so far. At first, I was overwhelmed by the menu and didn't know what to order, but the staff member was super nice and helpful; She guided me through every step while ordering and provided exceptional customer service. I couldn't be more pleased with the attitude of the staff and the delightful environment. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed with friendly greetings, I loved my stay there so much, I stayed and entertained multiple drinks as they were fit for my palate. I got the pink glow pineapple, it was really refreshing with the right amount of sweetness. There was also chunks of pink pineapple mixed inside. I would say this is my favorite drink for the summer. My favorite overall drink would be Coco Mango as it has the perfect blend salty, sweet, and sourness(from the mango). Of all the cafes I've been to, I'd say they serve the best fruit tea in New York with the highest quality of ingredients, as all their drinks come with natural products and do not contain any powdery substances. 10/10 for my overall experience and I couldn't be more satisfied read more
