Bubble bubble! Bubble tea! Quick on the go bubble tea! Had this in Vietnam and Taiwan before and this timesquare loc did not disappoint! Location: it is located along Koreatown, no seatings inside. You will notice it quickly due to their iconic Mixue mascot! Service: not much interaction, I just ordered on the kiosk and wait for my bubble tea. Food: I ordered their regular milk tea with boba and their chocolate soft serve. Their tea is very classic which I love, no extra flavorings like the other milk tea stores. Their soft serve is also delicious! Price rating: 4 out of 10. Very very cheap!! Around $5 for 1 bubble tea. And $2 for softserve! I will probably try their other flavors. And will always come back here!! read more

$1.19 soft serve!!! The vanilla cone was $1.19 while the chocolate and matcha were $1.69. The soft serve is pretty mid, but for the price you can't really complain. For those wondering I do find mcd cones better, but mixue's soft serve is less sweet and there's chocolate and matcha. There's also a tastier waffle cone! There's multiple kiosks to order from but also a cash register. The soft serve came out extremely fast! Havent tried their drinks yet but it's under/around $5! read more

Mixue - Vanilla, matcha, chocolate - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

Ordering is quick (self service kiosks) and the ice cream comes out quite fast. I'm actually not a big fan of the ice cream because it tastes a bit sweet and artificial to me, but the price is decent (only about $1) so I can see the appeal if you really like ice cream. I tend to like less sweet things but still sweet. I think would be a 3 for me for the food itself so I probably wouldn't get it again but for the price you can't go wrong, especially with everything getting more and more expensive now! read more

I had been craving for Boba for weeks & while trying to find a good spot I ended up finding this gem. All this years living in NYC never find a place this cheap ! They also have soft serve cone icecream ! I felt like a child & trust me when I say this I will be back. I finally can try some different flavors of boba now. So if you are near 32 nd street near Empire State Building you definitely gotta come & try this place . read more

Sooo cheap, I was in awe. Didn't get to try any of their drinks, but they looked really good. I did try the soft serve, and I thought it was okay. It definitely tastes like it's a dollar though. Not necessarily a bad thing!! I think what put me a little off was that I expected it to be vanilla but it was more milk flavored. read more

It didn't taste like much to me, although my friends strongly tasted a milky flavor. At that price though, I'd buy it again and try the matcha flavor. The cone was good. There was a bit of a line, but it moves super fast. I actually ordered online through a QR code while waiting on line, but would've reached the kiosk to order in person a couple minutes later anyway. The order then came out after a couple minutes. read more

I tried Mixue in Asia (Malaysia and Indonesia) before I tried it in NY. They did a good job. In Asia the ice cream was far sweeter than it is here. You can scan the QR code and place the order online, then pick it up. It's a long line but moves fast, don't let it deter you. Everyone loves a good deal in NYC, so it was packed but I didn't mind it. Drink and soft serve was under $6. read more

THE BIG: A Chinese ice cream and tea chain in Manhattan! Bright red store that has their doors open. Public transportation recommended. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Walking up and down broadway, the Mixue shop caught my eye. First by it's bright red exterior and cute mascot. And secondly the line. It was long but moved very quickly. Ordering was through the kiosk and a softserve was so cheap! We got a matcha softserve and it was the right amount of sweetness to get through the afternoon. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A Matcha softserve was $2. You will see me back. read more

Mixue is popping up around with the cheapest bubble tea and ice cream you can find. The service is quick from ordering on the kiosk to getting your order. They have the same jingle tune playing over and over which could definitely get a bit annoying, but they also have their cute mascot in the corner. I ordered a vanilla soft serve and bubble tea drink, which were great for the cheap price. The soft serve definitely has a different taste than what I expected, a soft creamy texture to it. The boba was good, but there wasn't a strong tea flavor. Overall, another good cheap boba chain that can hopefully stay in business. read more

Mixue - Oreo ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

Right near Herald Square in the bustle of it all was this store I have never heard of but there I was standing on that long line with all these people. They did have a red carpet out welcoming all in lol. I'm sure it was the prices for the ice cream, milk tea and Jasmine teas that created the line and it being the weekend. The vanilla and matcha soft serve was priced at 1.30 -1.69. The taro milk tea that I got was 3.99 plus tax added up to 4.34. so not to bad of prices for the middle of Manhattan. Taro tea was a bit lite, compared to the rich purples I'm used to. The pearls were also clear. Everything was happening so fast and numbers were being called all over the place so I don't blame them or my self for trying to get in and out lol. It quenched the thirst I had from walking around all day. Not a bad pop in and out spot. The " I love you, you love me" song that was on repeat I could have def done without yeesh! read more

The biggest fast chain restaurant has made its mark in the US, including bringing along its affordable prices. In these economic times, it's pretty amazing to get a drink for under $5 these days. While the line was out the door, it went by quickly. They also have a screen to show your status in line for your order. I ended up ordering an Oolong Tea ($1.99) and Pudding Milk Tea ($3.99). Both were great and refreshing. Also wish I could've tried the Ice Cream, but it was sold out the day I went. I really appreciate the prices, especially being in NYC. Excited as they bring a bigger footprint into the US. read more

Mixue - Oolong Tea and Pudding Milk Tea. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

Pros- * just as everyone is saying- this place is CRAZY cheap. Like $1 for an ice cream cone, I don't think you could find a bottle of water for that price, or pretty much anything. * Service was also pretty quick even with a line, although the poor guys behind the counter look absolutely crapped out from cranking out what I imagine is a million $1 cones a day. Cons- * ice cream tastes pretty weird. Guess they gotta do something to it to make it that cheap. Waffle cone was decent though. * no seating/take out only. read more

Mixue - Inside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

Came here on a Saturday evening because we'd seen people eating their soft serve all over Herald Square. The restaurant is currently (?) takeout only, with tape across the stairs that lead up to seating. The line outside moved quickly and getting our ice cream was no problem. Although at 6pm on a Saturday they were out of napkins, and the staff seemed over it. The ice cream cones were certainly worth the dollar nineteen. Of note, there was no ice cream whatsoever inside of the nicely crunchy waffle cone. Once you ate the ice cream off the top, you had an empty cone. Honestly I blame that more on a worker that looked like he hated his job than what the chain specs, but who knows. read more

Came here with kids because they wanted to try again. The draw is extremely cheap soft serve ($1.69) and cheaper boba ($3.69). I think you get what you pay for- ice cream tasted more coconutty than dairy, and had a big hollow middle, as did the sundaes. Boba at 30% sweet was still pretty sweet! Crowded with young people- no surprise given the deal! read more

Mixue - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

This spot, Mixue, has been open for a couple of months now and it's always busy, there is usually a line stretching way back with people waiting to order. Fast service. They serve bubble tea and ice cream, and I finally decided to try it. Pro tip, there is a barcode by the door to order ahead, which a lot of people seem to ignore, but it is way faster. My order came out to just $1.69, which honestly is not bad at all. I went with the matcha ice cream and was pleasantly surprised. It was not overly sweet, and the texture was firm, smooth, and perfectly cold. Simple, affordable, and worth trying, just do not sleep on the barcode ordering. read more

MIXUE is an absolute game-changer. This chain originally from China is actually the largest restaurant chain in the world by location count, and it's easy to see why they are successfully popping up here in NYC. In this economy, where so many places are normalizing boba at $10 or more, it is incredibly refreshing to find a spot that offers such affordable prices without sacrificing quality. You can get a solid boba for only $3.99, and their other teas and fresh lemonades are just $1.99! The star of the show for me, however, is their milk soft serve cone. At just $1.19, it is an absolute steal and absolutely delicious--creamy, refreshing, and thankfully not overly sweet, which is exactly how I prefer my desserts. The ordering process is super seamless and modern. You just punch in your order at the kiosks right as you enter, and they call your number when your items are ready. I love the concept, I love the unbeatable prices, and I completely love their soft serve. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area! read more

Summer is around the corner and I'm glad I came across this spot. The soft serves is definitely going to be a main event during this upcoming heatwave. Upon arriving there is usually a line (but moves quick) the line is for the kiosks to make the actual order, then the staff serves you pretty quickly, but can range from 1-15mins+ from ordering. There is alway a catchy music playing which lightens up the place. I recommend the matcha soft serve, a little more then vanilla but worth it for the taste read more

Checked out another Mixue in the K-Town location. Came on a weekday about noon & it was a handful of customers. Not super busy. Ordered on the site and drink was prepared quickly. Got the oolong tea with 50% sugar since I've had at other locations. It was made consistently. Staff was friendly. Its just still too cold to eat their ice cream so I'm waiting to come back to try. Location is more of grab and go. No where to sit or stand to have your drink. There is an upstairs but was blocked off. Not sure was that meant to be seating. Very affordable prices. read more

Mixue is crazy popular worldwide for a reason. They deliver on their product & it is much lower priced than at surrounding venues. I stood in line & ordered a Taro Ball Milk Tea. If you are not familiar with taro, it is sweet potato. I loved that you can request the degree of sugar added. I requested 50% of what is normal, & I thought it was perfect. The drink has taro tea, milk, & a lot of white boba beads that were chewy & delicious. Yum! read more

Mixue - CHEERS! Latte, milk tea, green tea ice cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

4.75 stars. It's not line culture, there's a line because this shop doesn't have a lot of room for the line inside. The 4 ordering kiosks are just inside the door - or confusingly, the same line also goes to a cashier & customers seem to freeze not knowing where to go. I joined the line of about 6 people & got inside in just a few minutes. This business is efficient! Their menu is straightforward with a few different flavors oolong, jasmine green, mango + ice cream to make it interesting. It seems like their lemonade is popular & one of their only caffeine-free options. Of course had to try their soft serve ice cream. Total: $4.01. Actually really good quality, didn't expect this from a chain shop with such low pricing. The wait for the food was under 3-5 minutes. If you ordered ice cream you have to go to the end of the counter to pick that up when the ice cream guy calls your number. The lemonade is good! Tastes homemade - lemon, water, sugar, ice. I got 50% less ice & 70% sweet probably could have had 70% less ice and 50% sweet. The quartered thick muddled lemon slices in the cup are a nice touch. The matcha soft serve cone was also really good. It's a medium Matcha flavor, but after a while, your tongue gets cold so it's not like the flavor builds up with ice cream. The texture is like high-quality soft serve. It's not thick and Mr. frosty heavy and artificial, but medium and smooth. The waffle cone was also really fresh and just crispy enough. I'd wait again in line for this soft serve ice cream cone! The theme song is kind of annoying, hopefully they turned it down from online reviews and comments about it. They also had someone dressed up as Mr. King in the costume outside overall, I think local and tourists expected the line and the kind of theme park atmosphere, and waited pretty patiently. The waiting area fits about 15-20 people. I took my drink and ice cream across the street to the pedestrian plaza area. I think MIXUE [Mee-zyoo] has successfully joined a good international market & I can see why they've done so well in China (WHY aren't US Fast Food companies using better ingredients!). I hope the quality doesn't go down in the future. read more

Mixue has made a fan out of me!!! Apparently they went viral on TikTok and it makes sense why. I came here with a friend after going to eat in Ktown. We stopped here and I was pleasantly surprised to see that had bubble tea available from $3-5 and even lower prices for soft serve ice cream cones. Nowadays bubble tea costs $8-10 and doesn't even taste half as good as them and I feel their prices are as low as they are because the volume of people they sell to is significantly more than your average bubble tea cafe. When you come here prepare to wait in line for a little but pay attention because the workers do move relatively fast and your order will ready sooner than you think. I suggest you tip these workers because they work really hard and have to listen to the theme song on loop playing outside the storefront, probably cute as a customer but not as an employee. read more

There's always a really long queue at Mixue, so while it's been open for a while, I still haven't tried them - at any of their locations in the city. We were in the area after dinner and the queue, for once, was pretty short. So we decided to line up, which only took about 10 minutes. You order at the kiosks and pick up at the counter. For the prices, you can't really complain about much of anything. Between all of us, we tried all three flavors of the soft serve. I think in terms of best to worst, it was the Green Tea, Vanilla, and then Chocolate. I did not like the Chocolate one at all, it tasted like fake chocolate milk. Soft serves come out very quickly, but drinks take a little bit longer. read more

Across the street from the Herald Square Station. Bright red walls and big snowman logo, you can't miss it! Seeing that not too many people are inside, I know this is my chance to finally try the soft serve. Four kiosks are lined up side by side on the left towards the wall. Brightly lit LED menus with colorful pictures of each item are displayed on the overhead. If you wanna pay with cash instead, all you gotta do is just go up to the register and place an order. Fast service from okayish-polite staff. There're no seats as it's mostly a grab-and-go spot. You get the ice cream or drink, and then you leave for other customers to order. A cute life-size statue of Snow King (snowman mascot) is right by the entrance/exit of the store. You'll hear the Mixue theme song over and over again. Got myself a vanilla-flavored soft serve. Be careful that you don't grasp the cone part too hard because it will break easily and the bottom might start leaking/dripping. Costs $1.19 (11¢ tax) = $1.30 in total when paying in cash. Where else can you get soft serve this cheap in NYC? Cheaper than McDonald's too. Definitely not from Nana's Green Tea right across the street! Has a subtle hint of coconut as the flavor. It tends to lean more on the icier side instead of the really soft, fluffy texture. Ngl I like that better. Not too sweet at all which is a huge plus in my book. It is a basic waffle cone that's not stale. Appearance and taste wise are high quality despite how cheap it actually costs. I like how the soft serve looks exactly like the pic from the menu and social media in general. No false advertising there. Will stop by whenever I'm near/in Koreatown again. I most likely will not try their drinks because I dislike having huge chunks of ice in my drinks and no ice doesn't seem to be an option either. Overall, quick service at Mixue plus the soft serve is affordable + tasty. read more

Mixue is finally here! The infamous global chain from China has officially landed in the states, bringing its viral Snow King mascot and affordable treats with it. Known for having some of the cheapest prices in the city, their $1.19 soft serve is a total steal. I honestly couldn't resist it, and it tastes just as delicious as other more expensive soft serves I've had. However, I also tried the $4 milk tea and found it to be pretty mediocre. Next time, I'm sticking to the ice cream! It's the perfect spot for a quick, budget friendly dessert fix read more

I got the classic bubble tea. Surprised by the cheap price! Only 3.99 for a medium which is plenty. The bubbles are very sweet, slightly chewy and on the small side. I got 0 sugar added which was perfect. They have a 200% sugar option which sounds ludicrous. Didn't really have a strong tea flavor, tasted mostly like milk. Also I can't get with 0 ice only less ice. The song they play on repeat is like a childhood nightmare lullaby, it's super catchy and creepy and I feel bad for the workers who have to listen to it constantly. Makes me feel like I'm at a weird carnival. This place used to be another boba tea and ice cream place and then a boba tea place before that, so interesting it keeps changing. Can get better quality tea and boba nearby for double the price but this is decent enough. I saw some people getting large fruit teas with berries or something in it, that looked pretty good and I would go back to try something different or the ice cream. Lots of excellent bubble tea and ice cream places right around the corner though... read more

If I were forced to empty my bank account and place a bet on which food & beverage chain has the most retail locations worldwide, I would have lost every last penny. I'd have gone with Starbucks or McDonalds, not Mixue. Mixue? Really? I'd never even heard of it. Turns out 41,000 of their 47,000 stores are in China, so I'm not gonna be too hard on myself. Mixue specializes in ice cream and boba, and only has 4 US locations, so I had to get down here and investigate myself and see what all the hype is about. As I was about 100 feet away, I could hear their jingle playing on a huge speaker outside. The well penned, eloquent lyrics "I love you, you love me, Mixue Ice cream and tea" played on loop. At first I found myself nodding my head and thinking "they kind of slid on this..." but after about 3 minutes, it became a form of audible water boarding. These employees are truly God's strongest soldiers for having to hear this ALL day. I walked past a short Chinese man in their "Snow King" mascot costume into a squeaky clean environment with an assembly line of employees dialed in. I ordered soft serve ice cream ($1.19), lemonade ($1.99), peach oolong tea ($3.49), and pearl milk tea ($4.99). Soft serve ice cream at $1.19 cents is unheard of in New York City. I semi-regularly pay $6 from those mid ice cream trucks. It's straight 2008 prices in here, how could you not love that? And the soft serve BANGED. The ice cream is a firm texture inside of a big cake cone. This is how soft serve should be. Upon first bite, there was a strong after taste that was far too sweet and creamy for me. However as I kept eating, that after taste dispersed and it tasted like the nostalgic soft serve ice cream I grew up on. It was a roller coaster. The boba was buns, but I just don't like Boba in general so don't even listen to me here. Boba is one of those things that I don't get how anybody likes. The texture of the little tapioca balls just violates me every time. I'll be a regular here for that $1.19 soft serve ice cream though. ALL HAIL THE SNOW KING!

Although the weather has been super cold, I had to stop by and check out this bubble tea shop as soon as I saw the bright red store. I have been meaning to try Mixue but they have yet to open in queens so I was super excited. Granted I do want to point out I wasn't expecting much being that the prices are super cheap but for such a low price, this was a great deal! We got a large bubble tea with two toppings for like 5-6 dollars when usually it would be no less than 8 dollars! Not to mention they also sell ice cream for a little more than a dollar (but I did not order it because I was already freezing)! The service was extremely quick. I placed the order on a tablet on the side and received my order in like 5 minutes. Even though the price was cheap, the quality of the drink didn't taste cheap! I will definitely be back to try some other teas that they have such as their fruit teas which seem popular as well as the ice cream as soon as the weather allows for it! read more

Mixue - Two Topping Bubble Tea (We did Tapioca and Pudding) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

Mixue is so hectic but in the best kind of way. Have I heard of them before? Absolutely not, but having a person in a mascot suit outside definitely drew me in. I did no research on Mixue whatsoever before entering, so I really had no idea what I was walking into. What I learned: Mixue sells cheap (for NYC prices) bubble tea and ice cream - some of my favorite treats! Since this was during a grand opening event, this location was PACKED with patrons and it did make it difficult to navigate. Hopefully this will calm down with time, because I don't think the store or the staff is equipped to handle all these people at all times. The drink selection was fun, with more flavors in the fruit teas rather than the milk teas. The teas tasted fresh and they definitely didn't skimp out on toppings. The ice cream was great - light and not too sweet, with maybe a coconut base behind the flavor? I opted for the matcha and while it was t matcha heavy, it was refreshing. Can't wait to try more of their menu, Mixue is such a fun spot with quick service - you can't go wrong! read more
