If you have free time, then I supposed you might find coming here worth it for the bubble tea. The service is very slow and I mean slow. There's plenty of tables to dine in, and they offer takeout. Crispy shrimp and garlic noodles- Serving size is enough to feed two people. The entree was different than I expected, the noodles are mixed with a spicy sweet sauce that makes the noodles thick. read more

Popped in since most places on hertel were closed & I just wanted a light meal, no wait, no crowds. Milk and Tea fit the bill. Grabbed a little brown sugar milk tea & a tofu banh mi. Both cost about $15 total. The tea was ready within 5 minutes & the sandwich took about 15, which they felt was worth apologizing for the long wait. This makes me think they likely serve patrons a bit quicker, if you're pressed for time. It's a basic setting, a bit more ambience than a fast food chain, but about the same level of cleanliness/service/friendliness. Noticed when a couple customers asked for printed menus they just said they ran out, didn't let customers know a full menu is available online. Unpretentious & casual. If this food is what you're craving, it's a nice little place to stop in for a bite to eat. read more

The food is good. I think the traditional items here are better than the "fusion/innovative" dishes. The vermicelli salad and pho were amazing. But the flaming hot noodles and shrimp garlic noodles were okay. We also tried a few bubble teas and they were also good. The place is kept clean. The tea orders come fast but the wait is long for food orders. read more

Really cute place with a fun vibe. The food was okay - needs some improvement - chicken was a bit dry and same with the pork but still very tasty. The fruit teas are great - it's a fun way to treat yourself - and it seemed very authentic to what you may see in Korea or Japan. The downside was it wasn't as clean as I'd like and it was a bit difficult to understand the menu. My husband and I did enjoy ourselves overall but would like to see some improvements over time like keeping it clean and making it easier to understand the types of food and drinks. Also I had to ask if food items were gluten free and the staff wasn't able to tell me what items didn't use wheat I had to figure that out on my own / which I can but when you're dining out and you're intolerant to gluten it's helpful for the staff to know what's cooked with wheat flour, etc. With that said we will try it again if not for anything else but the drinks and vibe! read more

We went on a Sunday at 1pm, there was just a couple of people inside so no line. There is a single kiosk where you select your order, the machine was a little slow scrolling through the options but you can also go up to the counter. It's cute inside with pictures on the wall of all the food items. The music playing was a bit loud and I don't know what type of music it was, but we found it to be obnoxious though that could be due to the volume. We ordered two classic milk teas with brown sugar boba, we selected light ice and less sugar. Once we got the drink there was just a single ice cube and it melted shortly after, the drink was warm not cold at all. I know we selected light ice, but I've done this at other places and the drink managed to still be cold. The drink also had no flavor at all and the boba had a little flavor. I would not recommend getting a classic milk tea from here, we could not drink them due to the lack of flavor and warmth. We also ordered Fried Potstickers, it came with 4 and a sauce. They were overcooked and burnt. Something within the potsticker I did not like, it could just be me, but I did not enjoy the taste. Overall, we are not returning to this restaurant. read more

Milk & Tea offers Vietnamese & Korean fusion food as well as boba tea. On this visit, my friend and I opted for food, but I'd like to visit again for boba. The service was friendly, but a little slow. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you at whichever table you choose. We ordered grilled pork vermicelli (gf) and flaming hot shrimp noodles. The price on the printed menu was not accurate for my dish; it was listed as $15, but rang up as $19. The wait was quite a while (25min+) and there were not a lot of people in the restaurant. Perhaps they had a lot of online orders and I believe each dish is made fresh, which does take time. They were also a bit on the pricey side for the portion sizes in our opinion. We both really enjoyed our dishes and could tell they were made with fresh ingredients. They were flavorful and offered a few different textures as well from the meat, noodles and fresh veggies. I had the flaming hot shrimp, but it fell a little short for me in the heat area... With a name like "flaming hot", I was expecting to get more spiciness. All in all, we had a good experience and would return. read more

Lots of seating space inside. Got their bun Bo hwei, was decent. I'm a good area as well and no problems with service.

Love this place! There are kpop events from time to time and I love attending and treating myself to some of the best bubble tea I'm the area! Forgot what I ordered last time, but everything has been yummy and amazingly priced. Service is amazing and their single service kiosk helps when the line is backed up. Complementary water, nice bathroom, amazing vibe. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Ordered the Taro tea and and Strawberry milk tea on Ubereats for delivery so didn't get a chance to comment on service. They were both absolutely delicioussss. They are a bit more expensive than other boba tea spots. I also liked that adding boba or jelly was optional as some people don't always want that in their drink, however I think atleast one topping should be included instead of being an additional fee (.75 cents per topping). It was also nice that you could choose the sugar level, varying from 40% less than normal to 40% more than normal, however there was no option for just "normal" which was really odd and confusing to me. I went with 10% less than normal and I will say this is in my top 5 favorite boba tea places in the area. Would order again, especially for the convenience of delivery from Ubereats. read more

Milk and Tea is a super cute bubble tea shop and restaurant. I've been a few times and have gotten bubble tea, hibiscus tea and also food. They have a great variety of teas, toppings and appetizers along with main dishes. My favorite so far has been taro and hibiscus. I like that they have plenty of seating areas with cute decorations and even some mini claw machines! They have a great Vietnamese food variety and I have personally enjoyed the pork and shrimp vermicelli rice bowl and bah mi sandwich. Unfortunately I would've like to try the pork belly dish which I only saw after ordering on the specials menu at the table. My only complaint is that the food always seems to take a very long time to come out which needs to be kept in mind especially when eating it. The food has been great and I can tell it is made fresh but the timing may need improvement. Last time I came with 4 friends who all got their food after about 20 minutes, but my dish didn't come out until 20 minutes after theirs, so about 40 total minutes to get my noodle bowl which seems a bit long. I will likely be back but I would probably only order ahead of time or order takeout since the food takes awhile. But overall, the food and drinks are enjoyable and it is a nice spot. read more

Good place for some quick eats from light bites to full meals. Been there now for a few different things and a couple items I recommend are: Bahn Mi sandwiches, korean fried chicken bites, sweet and sour shrimp, and the milk tea (tons of options there!). I think it's a nice spot to connect with a friend for low-key counter service experience with some fun touches inside (if you want blow a couple bucks on the claw machine in there, lol) read more

Disappointing takeout order today. Fresh roll order was wrong, no shrimp and overcooked grilled pork. Peanut sauce was watery and tasted spoiled. Combo vermicelli bowl was cold and missing shallots/peanuts, pork was overcooked and the bowl tasted like leftovers. I've ordered this combo several times but won't do so again. read more

I have become a boba fan this past year and the number of boba spots in Buffalo going up has me feeling great! I have been trying spots and stopped into Milk and Tea for a quick drink on my way home. The inside of the shop is so nice with plenty of Instagram photo potential. I ordered the pineapple green tea with boba and my wife got the lavender taro with boba. Both of these drinks were very good and had a really great flavor. A couple of improvements I would love for next time are more boba. Such a big cup and I felt like there wasn't a lot of boba in the bottom. There was also so many seeds in mine from the lemons, it really made drinking it kind of annoying at times. Pricing here is a little higher than other places and the sizes are a little weird. Overall, a great drink but they're just outside of my top 3 boba places in Buffalo right. Hoping to move them up soon! read more

I absolutely love it here. From the food to the ambience, the service to the blessed, blessed bubble tea. My dad and I were immediately charmed by how the restaurant is set up. The food menu has pictures of all the recipes they offer, which is helpful. My dad and I ordered food and bubble tea, the latter of which was brought quickly to our table by a beaming server. After she left, my dad and I began a conversation and within I'm going to say 3-4 minutes after, our food was on our table. "Well that was quick!" I said. My dad and I were so sure we would be picking up our own trays of food that we hadn't considered we'd be waited on. Then the most marvelous part: eating and drinking. I loved my bubble tea which I *think* was a passion fruit mango flavor. My food was excellent. Like, lick your plate clean. I was so happy I had chosen a vermicelli bowl, and still am. I'm gluten free, so I gave the egg roll to my dad, but the other ingredients married perfectly. My dad loved his food as well, though later he bemoaned how spicy he had made it. He put on a lot of chill sauce. I absolutely love it here and will be coming back. The service was extraordinary and so was the food and bubble tea. Come check it out! read more

BEWARE. STEEL WOOL IN OUR FOOD!!! We ordered pad Thai, fried rice, egg rolls and Korean chicken. Upon last bite, we pulled out what appeared to be a piece of the wiry steel wool scrubbing pads that people scrub pots and pans with. They (Ariana and another staff) confirmed they use these in the kitchen and weren't sure how it got in the food. However the Manager and owner - despite confirming this was from their kitchen - refused to comp our meal. read more

Really good food and bubble tea. The pho is surprisingly great. I'm from Northern Virginia where there are tons of great pho places so I have high expectations. I love that you can pick from a range of sweetness options on the bubble tea. Many places make it super sweet by default and I like to taste the flavor more than the sugar. read more

Not really sure how I feel about this. I was really excited to come to milk and tea! The things that I liked were the staff was nice and friendly, the food came out fast and the vibe of the restaurant was nice. I ordered a flaming hot Korean chicken sandwich and a green apple fruit tea. Over all I wasn't the biggest fan of either my drink or my sandwich, the sandwich was cooked well and presented nicely but I didn't enjoy the abundance of sauce making the bread flimsy, the waffle fires that came with the sandwich where a nice break from the heat which overall I enjoyed the heat the sandwich came with. Now onto the drink, I'm a big fan of fruits tea drink but there was just something I didn't like about the apple fruit tea. The flavor wasn't really there and there was remnants of something hard in the drink, maybe not fully dissolved sugar or some other substance, not to sure. All in all I would like to come back and try milk and tea again in the future and maybe try something different off of the menu and rate them again! read more

Best selection of milk teas! I absolutely love coming here even if it's out of my way. The atmosphere inside is very cute & warm. Great place to hang out with friends as there's table games available for guests to use. Other than tea, they also have a big selection of food which I am curious to try. Service is good, they take their time in making each drink which I appreciate it. No need to rush if it's not going to taste the same every time. read more

Stopped in the other evening, with a few friends to exchange belated Christmas presents. The atmosphere and staff were definitely 5 stars, the reason for the 3 stars: value and price. I'm not really a fan of milk bubble tea, and prefer the fruit tea...was a little bummed there wasn't a regular size and only a large. The large was pricy in my opinion, as other bubble tea places(Tea Leaf) are a bit less expensive. The alternatives for tea selection and milk with no upcharge was a benefit. Interesting selection of food as well, didnt order anything, nor did my friends. Nice place, just beware tapioca or bobba are extra in addition to your beverage. My suggestion offer a smaller size for fruit tea, and I may give it another chance. read more

We stopped by for a spicy bubble tea while we were at the Taste of Buffalo. This particular drink was one of the best things I had at the taste of buffalo, with it being sweet, sour, spicy, and simply unique. It also came with this candy straw thing, which was basically a plastic straw wrapped in a spicy sweet tamarind paste. It was extremely messy to eat, so my wife decided to let me enjoy it. It was good! I would definitely purchase this again and try out some of their other items. read more

Sweet drinks are a bit very sweet. read more

I am so so SO glad that I finally tried this place. For a while, I wasn't sure if they were *to go only* with the lockdown rules. Thankfully, I stopped by when they allow dine in. They have two cute IG-walls/backgrounds for your bubble teas! One is a flower wall and the other one has a punny little saying. I won't spoil the fun/what it says, I'll let you check it out yourself :D They offer a few food offerings- Vietnamese sandwiches and noodle soups. I didn't get a chance to try it *this time* (I came after dinner) but I'll be sure to come back! I love banh mi!! For the last few years, I've been trying to find a bubble tea joint that is comparable to the ones in Toronto/NYC. I believe I have found it *yay* read more

Milk and Tea - Salted cheese whip and chocolate milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Buffalo, New York

What grabbed my attention upon entering this establishment is the pun "can't we all just get oolong." As as avid pun lover this sold me right away! The interior is very inviting and very aesthetically pleasing. There's plenty of seating available and counter space if you decide you want to linger around. Please use your best judgment as COVID is real and be socially distant from others in the same space. They have a mixture of milk teas, fruit teas, and food on their menu. I ordered the regular size Oolong Green Tea with tapioca ($5.50). I've had my fair share of bubble teas and wouldn't say that this is the best I have ever had but it was just mediocre. My boyfriend ordered a large Taro Milk Tea with herbal jelly ($6.25). This drink was a bit on the sweet side so I would suggest to adjust the sugar levels if you decide to go with this drink of choice. Overall, we felt like the drinks were a bit on the pricer side and comparable to prices in NYC. We also got the Pandan Waffle ($3) to share and let me just say that this stole the spotlight from their drinks! I enjoyed the subtle pandan flavor and the crispy yet melt in your mouth waffle. I highly recommend this item on the menu and would get again! All in all, you have a returning customer in me! read more

What great surprise! My friend and had just come out of the bank and we spotted this new place. It looked so inviting we went in to check it out. As others have reported, the inside is immaculate, new and beautifully designed. It is spacious, so waiting for take-out during Covid days is comfortable. The friendly, informative staff was properly adorned with PPE. I use waffles as a benchmark. If the waffles are good, I trust everything else in the place will be good, too. Milk and Tea waffles are wonderful! If you love waffles like I do, then put this place on your list. I gobbled my waffle before my friend had a chance to remind me I have fresh strawberries and blueberries and whipped cream that I could have put on the waffles. That means I will have to get them again and again and try to be patient enough to decorate them appropriately. Usually, I don't put pictures of menus in my reviews, but with Covid and take-out or delivery only, maybe it will be helpful this time. Oh, and Pho. Pho and waffles? It doesn't rhyme. Next time we'll try the Pho. But not with waffles. Pho and egg rolls. Chicken wings and tea. You will find Milk and Tea at the corner of Hertel Ave and Delaware Ave on bus routes #11 Colvin and #25 Delaware. read more

Stopped in this evening when picking up my to-go order next door. I saw the now open sign, I love milk tea so I figured why not pop in? The tea varieties are pictured on the wall, so if you are new to tea or unsure what you want, you have visual guidance. They also have some food options which I'll be back to try another time. The decor is really cute, I love the "Can't we all get oolong" sign up front and the pretty flower wall in the back, both are instagram worthy backdrops. There are different types of seating, tables and bar style. Dining in is currently outlawed, so obviously no one was dining in tonight. After I ordered I was talking with the gentleman I ordered from and they just opened on Sunday, right before the restaurant ban, but they seemed to be doing okay. This is definitely a place that would be great to stay in and enjoy your tea, but fortunately it's also easy to take to go. All of the fruit purées in the teas are made from fresh fruit and all the teas have the option to add in items like bursting bobas and flavored bobas. I ended up ordering the dragonfruit citrus tea with bursting dragonfruit bobas for myself and Thai milk tea with brown sugar bobas for my husband. Both were delicious and the Thai milk tea was a huge hit with my husband when I brought it home for him. Definitely pop in and grab a tea to go until NYS allows restaurants to open up fully again, then pop in and stay for tea and food! They are super friendly and helpful if you are unsure what to try! read more

Cute hidden spot for many flavors of boba. Very nice staff. We ordered brown sugar boba and taro. The brown sugar was kind of syrupy, not too sweet, as I ordered less (super nice that they ask you this with your order!), but just kind of sticky syrup at the bottom. The taro one was better in my opinion as it was thinner consistency. We also ordered the meat lovers egg rolls, which took quite some time to come out, but the staff was kind and even gave us an extra for the delay. They were good. The egg roll itself was perfect! So crispy and fresh. This place is really nice inside, ample space, cute photo walls, etc. it wasn't my favorite, but I would go back again :) read more

I recommend the vermicelli noodle! Great flavor and a really big portion, too. The shrimp and chicken were cooked well and there was a lot of chicken. The salmon egg roll had cream cheese I think, which isn't really my thing, but it was still good. Tasted just like any Vietnamese bun I've had at other restaurants. The lavender milk tea was a very subtle flavor, but nice. Less sweet than taro, which is great because taro is usually too sweet for me. The brown sugar sweetens it up quite a bit anyway. The tapioca (boba) was the perfect consistency! Soft, squishy, but not chewy. I'll be returning! read more

Flavor wise, this place comes closest to my favorite bubble tea joint, Tea Leaf Cafe. The decor is definitely a touch above most, cool sayings and an adorable cow mascot ! I opted for a pineapple tea with Kiwi boba (toppings/ bubbles are an additional charge). The fresh fruit (lemon/ lime slice) is a nice touch. I would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for their teas being significantly pricier than other establishments. (my tea ended up being $8 plus tax) Also, the customer service was just ok (not overly friendly and you should see what they put as my name lol) There are at least 4-5 different teas on the menu I'd like to try, so another trip out to this location will happen very soon! read more
