Came here for drinks on a Wednesday afternoon. Very small interior. You can order and pay at a kiosk. Short wait time. Juices and matcha boba drinks were good. Average prices. 2 blocks from Central Park.

Cute little spot on 84th and Amsterdam with some pretty good Bubble Tea. The bubble tea is by far one of the better ones on the upper west side. It's hard to find tea boba that' not too sweet and loaded with sugary syrup and they fit the bilI here. Passion fruit which was a nice dark tea with passion fruit flavor and lots of tapioca boba pearls. My son had the green apple which was a bit tart and just as good. They also have fresh fruit smoothies and acai bowls.

30. Kale Monster Smoothie
Alexis C.

Was feeling thirsty and this did the trick. I'd say it was fairly reasonably priced. It was a small place with just a counter and when I went there was only one person working so it took a little bit for me to get my smoothie.

Green kale bowl (small)

Small store. Solid smoothies and acai bowls that don't skimp on the fruit toppings. I also tried their Green Kale Bowl, which I actually like more than their acai bowl. Good portions!

34. Avocado Smoothie
Cole D.

Great avocado smoothie. Very creamy. Light. Good dose of avocado. Delicious. Big cups and nice thick straws easy for slurping.

Super great to have an affordable healthy option in the area for a solid (ironically) liquid lunch or breakfast. Their signature drinks are pretty delicious but you also have the option of creating your own. They have a multitude of bases if you don't subscribe to the orange juice or dairy based drinks found elsewhere. I happened to be present when they received their fruit delivery and it's so lovely to witness. The fresh fruit, neatly packaged and sent to the rear for prep, makes you want to eat it on sight. I love how clean and neat the counter and work space for juicing is maintained. Hawa loses two stars due to lack of consistent organization and for not offering any food options that are not highly processed. Sometimes Hawa is open on time and sometimes you'll have to try again later. It would help if they at least put up signage. Worth checking out if in the area.

24. Acai Original Bowl w/ Goji Berry
Greg H.

Playa bowls/açaí bowls seem to be the new hot trend everywhere I go in the tri-state. I usually go to Playa Bowls while I'm traveling in NJ, but I decided to try something new since I was in Manhattan. Hawa Smoothies is on par with Playa Bowls. The original açaí bowl I tried was really tasty and I added Goji berries for an added kick. The prices are fair for the area too.

I was drawn to their boba (as I often am), but walked out with smoothies for me and my family, so I guess I have to go back and try their boba another day. It is so unnecessarily difficult to find decently priced smoothies in the city. I think I usually pay at least $7 for one (for NO reason.) Hawa's cheapest smoothies come in at $6, which isn't really "cheap," per se, but it's "cheaper" which is definitely something. I loved how the store looked when you went inside-- it feels refreshing and smells like fruit so it really gets you in the right mood for drinking a smoothie and making yourself feel like you're eating healthy from all groups of the food pyramid. We got: Berry Mull (3.5/5), Orange Pineapple (4.5/5), Mango Banana (4/5), Sweet Spin (4/5). None of them were bad, though my sister's berry mull tasted like there may have been added sugar in it (though it may have just been the protein powder). The sweet spin had the right amount of fruit and vegetables. I ordered my mango banana after they told me they ran out of mango papaya. I was worried that the flavors would make the smoothie too sweet, but it wasn't at all. Unfortunately the only thing I found with my drink was that it was somewhat watery and left a strange aftertaste. As you can see in the photo, they use those dome lids and I was so happy that they fill the cups up even into the dome rather than wasting a lot of smoothie. Overall I'm happy with my experience and am looking forward to that boba.

24. Acai Original Bowl
Annalissa C.

Can't say enough good things about this place. After having a smoothie here for the first time a couple years ago, nothing has ever compared. These people are NOT skimpy on the fruit and the texture of the smoothie base (or if you get a drink) is so incredibly smooth and full of flavor. It does take a little long when it's busy, but it's so worth the wait every time. The place itself is really small with just a few bar stools so don't expect to have seating if going on a hot day, but you can really eat what they have anywhere so it's never been a problem for me. If you haven't stopped in yet, what are you waiting for?!

I'm ECSTATIC Hawa is now in the UWS! (I've been a fan of their UES location which is close to work for me, so now that Hawa is in the hood, I cannot wait to spend all of my money here on the regular) My go-to smoothie is the Açaí Punch! And I love their açaí bowls -- I like my açaí thick (not soupy) and their bowls are perfection. Everything is so fresh and delicious! The store can be easy to miss currently without additional signage, so keep your eyes open at the corner of Amsterdam and 84th!

This location is accessible via A train at 42nd Street Port Authority. Upon arriving there was a woman in front of me arguing with the staff persistently haggling the price to be lowered, but to no avail. Woman, no means no! There are other bubble tea businesses within the locale that may appease your needs, but not this particular Gong Cha whom apologized for the inconvenience of the inability to lower the price on the product ordered. As I waited patiently, I took photos of this business' environment. The staff stated the cash register is not working and currently unable to accept either credit or debit cards, but cash only payments. Ergo, I was unable to obtain a sales receipt nor a drink label printed. I wonder if the staff reboot the register or check their internet connection to be offline as the cause of non-functioning O/O/O. [1] Customer service is average. Well... if the staff can lower the price for one customer why not lower it for ALL customers? Surely, why not make my drink order as inclusion for lowering the price, please? Hell no, of course not! The conclusion was ironclad. In the real world, this cannot happen. As I stood on line waiting for this woman to let go and walk away from her argument I had shrunk to my own gnawing thoughts. I took photos of the atmospheric environment. There is a cute signage: "Bubble tea where refreshment meets creativity." The pink metal water bottle is very adorably cute which is something that I would certainly purchase. Peach green tea, medium $7.25 My favorite default topping grass jelly (aka herbal jelly) loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my standard request for $0.75 which was good, but not served chilled. At 30% sugar level request, it was slightly higher in sugar content. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg would shake his head at me in disbelief with disapproval and disappointment for consuming this excessively sugary drink. The peach green tea was not the cause of the sweetness but a man-made sugar embed measurement error. Nevertheless, this Gong Cha satisfied my bubble tea fix as it is now my addiction - in addition to my other addiction, writing. [1] O/O/O = Out Of Order

I didn't realize golden bubble literally just meant golden boba balls. I thought it would be some sort of special milk tea flavor LOL.

The boba to tea ratio could definitely be a lot better, half the drink was boba which is way too much. I also wish the boba was a little less chewy. They recommended 50% sugar so I got 25% and it was still too sweet for me. The upside is that it did satisfy the boba craving for the moment. And the service was quick!

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.
