Matcha jasmine salted cheese, tongmu lapsang salted cheese milk tea
Sarah A.

I've had Molly Tea several times already and their drinks are pretty good. Their teas are fragrant and recommended sugar level is perfect for me. They have promotions once in a while like BOGOs, so when that happens, wait times to get the drinks can be very long. I recently bought bogo drinks and the order line was empty, but the pickup line was long. It took about 30+ min to get my drinks. I'm so used to matcha and jasmine flavors now, so I wanted to try something different. I had the tongmu lapsang salted cheese milk tea and I liked it. Never heard of tongmu lapsang but Google says it's a type of smoked black tea from China. The drink had notes of hazelnut in it. I never had a nutty, chocolatey tea flavor combo before so it was refreshing to taste.

Came here on a Friday afternoon and got their Snowy Jasmine Tea- 5/5 . The line seems quite long but it goes fairly fast. Snowy Jasmine Tea-5/5; not too sweet and the original Jasmine Tea is the best of Molly Teas drink imo. Ambiance: 5/5- the store is like a high end boba store. It gives off the Van Cleef vibes except it's like giving pink boba Van Cleef vibes. Customer service- 5/5- always fast, polite, and they take cash & card. Overall, would comeback again! Their teas never disappoint!

The image shows the exterior of Molly Tea, a tea shop located in Brooklyn, NY. The storefront has a sign with the name 'Molly Tea' and the words 'Eastern Jasmine Tea' beneath it. The building is made of brick, with windows visible above the sign. The sky is clear and blue, with sunlight casting shadows on the facade. There are electrical wires and a tree branch visible in the upper right corner of the image.

As a tea fanatic, I absolutely had to step in here to see what the buzz is about. Molly tea is an institution with lines for days and the prettiest floral aesthetic. I heard they really gained ground in Flushing and expanded from there, so I was confident I was in for a treat. It was a hot Saturday afternoon and the tea shop was probably as busy as it gets. It took about half an hour for our order to be fulfilled, which honestly wasn't so bad considering how big the crowd was. One thing though - it smelled absolutely disgusting and horrid inside, like a peculiar mix of sewer, sweat and puke combined. I'm not sure if there was an "incident" that particular day or if this location always smells this bad but it was rancid enough where I simply couldn't stand inside and opted to wait outside in the heat. The matcha tea I got was absolutely phenomenal though. The matcha foam was delicious and the proportion of the foam to the tea was perfect. The tea had a beautiful jasmine floral note that was a perfect background to the matcha. This is probably one of the best matchas I've had. Our drinks were packaged with care so we were able to carry them home on the train with no problem or spilling. They really gotta do something about the foul odor though....

Premium jasmine milk tea
Abbey N.

Great tea but long wait!!! Personally, I think that the milk teas kinda taste like perfume.The milk and tea have a perfect blend. The tea is very rich compared to other boba brands. I didn't like that they have a store full of staff but I had to wait 30 mins for two drinks. If you could order ahead on hungry panda or other apps, please do so! Also they didn't give me a boba straw for my order of Tapioca. By the time I realized I was already out and about

The store's name, 'Molly Store,' is illuminated at the top, and a barrier with a stanchion is in front of the display.

After having jumped on the Hey Tea hype train, I needed to try out Molly Tea to see how they compare. I think what differentiates Molly Tea from many other bubble tea places is their use of real tea and the aroma is very apparent from the onset. I had the Snowy Jasmine and it was a unique drink. The service was really nice, the place was clean, and it was a pleasant experience.

Saw a pink cup and had to check it out. Ordered the Jasmine whipped cream with pecan and oolong tea. It was good but one of the pricer bubble tea shops on 8th Ave. I never order whip cream but it was supposedly jasmine flavored which I didn't appreciate. The tea itself was good though. Was the price justified? Eh I just need to walk half a block and pay half the price for something similar.

Come at me--Molly Tea is the undisputed champion of all the boba/ tea shops in NYC. Their aromatic, premium tea is pure bliss--totally worth the hype. I was thrilled to try their NEW floral brewed tea series, and every drink was a perfect match--right on the sweet spot! The pistachio cheese foam was a winner for me. I got a free scented sachet -- they're doing a promotion to give away free scented sachet or shopping bag if you buy two drinks. *Pistachio Jasmine Coco $7.99 ** *Pistachio White Champaca $7.99 ** At my first glance, I already knew I would LOVE these drinks -- LOOK AT THAT PISTACHIO CHEESE FOAM!! Perfectly creamy, nutty and topped with crushed pistachio, just like pistachio cheesecake. It is a double pistachio experience with their signature fragrant tea. *Premium Iced Tea $4.59 *Gardenia Iced Tea $4.59 * The gardenia ice tea was a surprise hit! So aromatic, minty and refreshing. I've never had tea like this before

I love smelling jasmine and teas when you first walk in. The store is brightly lit and separated into ordering and pick up. The drinks were good. The pistachio jasmine coco was refreshing with a yummy pistachio cream and nice jasmine tea. Mango smoothie was also light, very little mango taste. Despite the drinks being good, I don't think it was worth the 35+ minute wait. We ordered 2 drinks and we saw people who came after us leave. They seem to prioritize their mobile orders more than the in-person orders.

Every time we walk by Molly Tea, there is always a line. We decided to finally give this a try and let me say that the wait is long. The interior is super cute with the visually striking pink though, so it made the waiting a little bit amusing. We ordered the Premium Jasmine Milk Tea and the Mango Jasmine Shake. We actually timed how long it took for us to get our drinks. It took about 15 minutes for two drinks, but I can see why due to the store's popularity and people order 4-5 drinks each. While the drinks were good, the Jasmine flavor in the milk tea was excellent. It was super floral and rich. I just wished it didn't take so long to get the drinks. Will definitely visit when the popularity dies down.

Jasmine matcha

I love the jasmine tea flavor and this might be my new favorite tea shop, but this place is always so busy with online orders. The last two times I've come in person, it took 20-30 min to receive my drink. Would probably save more time to order ahead. They aren't taking orders through the Molly tea app at this point so you have to go thru a third party food app.

Lunar New Year at Molly!

My current favorite milk tea spot! I frequent their Flushing location often and was super ecstatic that they opened one in Brooklyn too! Their bright pink bag and cups truly makes a statement! I usually find the ordering line not too long but waiting for the drinks was the longer part - it's still not bad. Your order number is on the digital board and you'll know when your drink is being prepared or ready. My favorite drink here is the Iced Premium Jasmine Milk Tea. It's sooo fragrant and aromatic. I usually get 30% sugar and it's perfect for me. This is the only drink that my husband and I do not share a cup and that says a lot about how good a cup of Molly is! For those who didn't realize yet, Molly is literally how you say, "jasmine" in mandarin. My husband pointed it out to me, and it totally make sense! I guess this is a way that my husband is trying to tell me that he is a bigger fan of Molly Tea than I am! Molly Tea seems to have a lot of promotions going on like free gifts during holidays so be sure to follow them on social media for the details!

Jasmine milk tea with new years cup
Alan T.

Came here when they were giving out the new years cup and got the jasmine milk tea. The lined move fast - at least to pay. And that was because everyone else was waiting for their drink! They seem to call out numbers in batches rather than calling them out one by one whenever it's ready. I think that's because actually waiting for your drink takes a while and people wander off to do something else. That also means that once their drink is ready, they aren't back yet and that ends up holding up the queue for everyone else (the display screen only shows a certain amount of numbers). I do think that's a fixable issue though. Just expand the amount of numbers on the display screen! Oh yah - tasty drink and enjoyed the tea flavor!

I am excited about Molly Tea's new location on 8th Ave as I no longer need to venture all the way to Flushing anymore. Hopefully they open more closer because the lines are always long here no matter what. Even on a snowy winter day, there was a line here. It took me 5 minutes to place my order and then another 20 minutes for my drink to be ready for pick up. I got the Osmanthus Milk Tea ($6.79), where they suggest adjusted sugar to 70%. The drink is super floral and refreshing and that's what makes Molly Tea so good. Also, I love their cups, straws, bags and all the aesthetics. It's cute and practical. Can't go wrong with the drinks here, but prepare for the wait. You could order for pick up ahead via Fantuan and avoid the wait too.

See all

My friend booked this for a weekend, and our check-in was extremely smooth. Given the weather was…read morereally nice, we were offered a seat in their outdoor heated patio. The decor is incredible inside the space, and the staff are equally kind and attentive. We got the grand Vanderbilt tea option, and tried the English breakfast tea, Darjeeling, and Earl Grey. The sandwiches were all rather delicious, though I found the scones a bit dry. The desserts were small, but also delicious. I wouldn't come here if you're extremely picky about afternoon tea food as the food was pretty standard. Overall, I think this high tea is quite good for the value, and the staff were always stopping by to check if we needed a tea refills. I would definitely come back, especially given the nice ambience and overall experience.

I had a morning to kill before a work event and wanted afternoon tea! This reservation was not easy to get and I was lucky to snag a less desirable 10am ish reservation. It was cold outside (all the inside seats were full) but they provided warm, fuzzy heated blankets so it wasn't much of an issue. I wish I'd been able to pick which tea I got but the house black tea they served and picked for me was good. The sandwiches were delicious but I found the desserts to be lacking. Service was wonderful. There's only one bathroom and it was very clean and aesthetic, like most of the decor. It screams maximalist and vintage, very fun. Everything was good but I'm not sure if it's worth the steep price. There's other more reasonably-priced afternoon tea service options in the city.

This is my first time at the Brooklyn location and I really liked the zen vibes and minimalistic decor. I prefer a more earthy, grassy matcha (aka the uji) but I wanted to switch it up and went for the nishio in a hot cortado format. It was indeed very creamy and floral. I also got to try the yame matcha latte with oat milk. The yame itself is advertised to be more nutty and the oat milk definitely amplified it. Both drinks had really well mixed matchas with a good milk ratio respectively. While I would give their matcha and location a 5, I dropped it to 4 for this particular location due to their service. I'm not sure what didn't click but we had so much trouble trying to order the usucha matcha. We tried the name usucha twice and even tried alternative names like the short serving. She said a bunch of things but didn't really explain if it wasn't available or had other recommendations. We gave up and went for the yame matcha instead. Again solid matcha drinks and cute space but my experience with staff would be better next time!

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.

You can get these drinks hot or iced. I had all of them iced! I also had one of the best iced matcha lattes ever from here with sweet coconut milk. WOW. From what I've seen, baked goods change daily and their drink menus change semi often as well, which is exciting!! Outside, there is some seating, lovely items and books for purchase and a window to order, as well as the menu items displayed on boards and items around the space.

In addition to the Hood Healer and Lentil soup I received, as a Yelp Elite, I ordered some tea. The place reminded me of the type of spot that is local, and ancestral, and kind of like -- just ask and see what is available. It gives a small town feel, in a sense. There are books for sale, which was delightful and the books seemed to be titles of varying genres, all fairly priced. The service was excellent, quick and efficient. And very helpful and very friendly. Now that I think of it, the spot could have been a cafe in Diagon Alley (IYKYK). But on the good side of things. I couldn't see inside of the small window from where I ordered my food, but I'm pretty sure there was some sort of magic going on back there based on how tasty the lentil soup was, in addition to the Hood Healer, which after taking one sip, I said, "mmm" out loud. Both the soup and drink were excellent and perfectly seasoned. I could feel the effort that was put into both items and it felt like it was made on the spot from all natural ingredients. I was very heavenly pleasantly surprised.
