    Herb Nook Lab is a small, modern fruit tea focused shop in Flushing's 99 Ranch Food Hall that leans into a very fresh ingredients first idea rather than the usual syrup heavy bubble tea setup. I found the space compact and intentional, more of a quick stop tea lab than a lingering café, with a calm, slightly minimalist vibe that still felt welcoming for a short break in the neighborhood. What stood out most to me was how fruit forward the menu is, especially the green apple and red apple based drinks that lean on freshly juiced fruit rather than concentrates. I tried the green apple jasmine tea, one of the most talked about drinks on the menu, and it balanced crisp fruit brightness with floral tea notes perfectly. I also sampled the red apple milk tea and an apple foam combination, both of which pushed that same apple flavor into something creamier. There were also more experimental drinks like coconut based blends and lighter cucumber jelly style add ins that kept everything feeling refreshing rather than heavy. The service experience came across as attentive and friendly. I was offered a sample to help me decide, and the staff guided me through some of the more unusual combinations. My drink was made fresh, so there was a short wait during a busier moment, but the overall flow still felt straightforward and organized for a small counter style setup. The focus was clearly on freshness and customization, especially with sugar levels and drink adjustments.

    Not sure why the name since I didn't see any herbs on the menu and the server I asked didn't know either. Anyway, just another new tea shop in the ling line of tea shops in Flushing. We wanted warm beverages on a cold day, but they currently can only heat up two of the options, so we got both. Red Apple Snow Bud Jasmine Green Milk Tea was quite refreshing with apple cheese foam (extra) and at half sugar, though I would go even less next time. Probably a 7/10. Did not really like the boring Bamboo & Jasmine with pecan whipped cream and half sugar. Score it 5/10. They are still working out their kinks, but service was quick and friendly. I would come back.

    I found this place located in the 99 Ranch Eat Up food court off of Instagram. Herb Hook Lab has lots of interesting choices for their drinks. They had a sample of their Green Apple Jasmine drink which was what I wanted to try. It was sweet and you get both the jasmine and apple flavors. You can fully customize your drink when you order on the kiosk or by mobile. I chose to get the popping water chestnut boba. There is also an option to get an apple cold foam on top too that I didn't do. The cups come in small and large for sizes. Service was quick and you can watch on the screen when your order is ready. If you put your phone number in your order, you will also get a text message when it is ready. I would definitely come back to try more drinks in the future.

    They were giving out samples at the 99 ranch market food court for their best selling green apple juice. If I remember correctly they said they don't use syrup for their flavoring and it is all from real apple juice. It tasted very fresh and clean so I decided to give it a try. I got the large red apple milk juice with the green apple cream foam on top (extra +$1). It was delicious and creamy. The large drink itself was almost $10. I don't think I would crave apple juice milk enough to pay this much again but it was good to try. But I think the premium would be worth it if you are willing to pay for a healthier option for drinks. If I'm back around the area would love to try their other drinks!

    Green apple Jasmine green tea $6- really good, both flavors came thru pretty equally I'd say. The water chestnut popping boba always adds a nice juicy crunch.

    Came to 99 Ranch food court and as my friend and I were walking around, we were given samples from Herb Nook Lab. We were hooked at first taste. The green apple snow bud jasmine green tea was a winner. It was so refreshing that we needed more. I would order with less sugar like 30%. Only thing was the drink size is pretty small for the price. The lady was very nice and she explained how their teas were made. I would definitely return to try their other teas.

    My friend and I were trying the drink samples in the 99 ranch food court and preferred the ones at Herb Nook Lab, so we decided to order from here. I heard that they use real apple juice and no additional syrups. I ordered the small Green Apple Jasmine Green Tea ($5.99) , and my friend ordered the Kyoto Roasted Green Tea Latte. My drink was refreshing with a good balance of apple and green tea. My friend said her drink had a strong roasted taste and she enjoyed it.

    This place is a very clean-looking, modern tea shop in the New World Mall food court. I was intrigued by the new black sesame cream so I got the da hing pao milk tea. Service was great; they let me try the tea before buying! It was good, but I do wish it was stronger overall. The sweetness and milkyness level was perfect though. The black sesame cream was good, but needed more black sesame in my opinion!

    Tried this place for the first time, happy to see a tea place that does apple tea. I liked the 雪芽青蘋果冰茶七分糖+奶蓋 green apple jasmine green tea with less ice and less sugar 70% with foam (can do without foam as well, doesn't really add to it, the tea is good enough). Also tried紅蘋果奶茶 red apple jasmine green milk tea less ice and 70% but that felt a bit sweeter, I recommend the green one over the red. Would come back to try other teas next time.

    Got the bamboo and jasmine and thought it was just average. Taste like jasmine tea and unsure where the bamboo is suppose to be. The staffs were super nice and proactive but the drink just average. They were giving out green apple jasmine tea sampler and I thought that was slightly better but not by much.

    New place under 99 ranch. Delicious drinks that are refreshing and not too sweet. Definitely will go back.

    Herb nook lab is a bit of a misleading name, but a total win on taste. They have some of the most fragrant jasmine tea I've had lately. The Green Apple Jasmine (30% sugar) was perfectly balanced--crisp apple paired with floral notes. The portion size is a bit smaller than usual, but the drinks are so refreshing and tasty!

    I was intrigued by the unique drinks being offered here and decided to try it. Got a super unique drink- Bamboo Coconut Tide with cucumber jelly. It sounded so refreshing and it was. Very light, even the cucumber jelly is soft. The base is oolong and I definitely got cucumber and grass which I found refreshing because I was looking for something light. I enjoyed it but it's definitely an acquired taste. When you order on the self service pad, you get a text with your number. The screen in the shop shows if your number is ready or in the works. Once it's ready, their PA system announces it quite loudly so you don't miss it and you also get a text.

    With so many tea places in one area, it's difficult to standout…read more It's a small store. There is a bench for you to wait for your drink. Ordered from the self-serve kiosk. Waited for my order. They called the order when it's ready. I love the fresh fruit and it's convenient if you are in Main Street. Though, maybe because the mango wasn't ripe, it didn't have the usual strong flavor in the mango pomelo sago. I ordered Belgian Caramel Crumble Milk Tea for my friend. Didn't get a picture. My friend likes it and had no complaints. If you are in the neighborhood, go check it out and decide for yourself.

    Not too sure if the place really understands the meaning of "less ice" vs "half ice" tbh…read more Can't do no ice = fine. How about less ice? Okay I guess. Received the drink. And....this is not less ice. Period. Ambiance: Your typical boba tea shop with a panda bear logo for the storefront and little space inside to wait for your order. Staff is friendly and helpful. A little bench inside by the glass as waiting area. Minimal wait time like 15 mins on a busy Saturday night. Tea By Do accepts both cash and card. The font can be bigger because it's so hard to read as the drink description is actually really tiny on the menu. Or they can provide paper versions. They can even simply provide a QR code to scan, so customers can zoom in on the menu from their phones. Iced Mango Pomelo Sago Drink 1. Tastes decent even without the extra sugar although not exceptionally amazing. 2. Tsk tsk tsk about the "less ice" portion. With the almighty chunk of ice, you're actually getting a medium sized drink instead of the large (thanks to the unnecessary ice amount). 3. Has mix of decent textures from the tart mango pieces + softness from the sago pearls + smoothness from the creamy coconut milk + juiciness from pomelo pulp. Once and done kind of try for me from Tea By Do.
