    Outside!
    Paul P.

    Ice cream in new dorp! Better than the other options in terms of both price and variety! Inside: space to sit and eat very spacious with pop music playing! Service: only two people working the counter on a Thursday night which is fine but i guess a lot of people wanted ice cream today so a little wait. They were prompt and helpful though! They have coffee, bubble tea, cakes, tarts, and of-course ice cream! Best price for the ice cream compared to the other ice cream places here!

    (M) Milk Tea with boba

    I ordered a boba tea from here. I love the fact that you can adjust the sugar level. The delivery guy was polite. The store got my order right.

    NOT what I ordered
    Michelle S.

    Unfortunately they messed up my order twice now. I wanted a Jasmine green milk tea and they gave me some cherry flavored pudding tea. It tasted like medicine and NOT what I ordered. The first time they messed up they forgot my boba. Lately, they have not been making good boba and I'm so disappointed.

    Almond milk tea

    If your looking for a go-to dessert spot, look no further. The milk teas are all really good, my favorite is the almond milk tea with 30% sugar. The ice creams are great and the prices are very fair. I come here a lot and it never disappoints. They open later than other dessert spots and there's seating here for about 10-15 ppl. The staff is really nice and welcoming.

    Lives up to the name...ice cream, macaroons, frosty beverages, cakes, smoothies, and milk teas. If you're looking for a sugar high this is the spot! Prices vary from $2 for a macaroon to $25 for a dozen macaroons...broken ones are half off! It's a nice place to visit after the library since it's right across the street. Enjoy sweets with your sweetheart!

    Bubble Tea: FIVE STARS Service: TWO STARS My brothers and I love getting bubble tea from something sweet. We have a poke bowl around our area that also has a "something sweet" section in the back area. I've been to this location in particular several times and the bubble tea is super consistent. It's usually pretty busy whenever I go. However I did have one bad experience when coming here. My friends and I stopped at another place to get drinks and then came to this store since one of our other friends really liked the smoothies here. We all entered and stood at the corner waiting for her. The worker got super upset at us and told us we weren't allowed to bring drinks here but we told them we were only waiting for our friend who was ordering a drink and we weren't planning to stay in. It was pouring outside and that worker did see one of our friends go order online. I'm assuming they expected us to stay outside in the rain when waiting for our friend. The location is big and there was plenty of room to sit so it wasn't like we were preventing people from sitting. A few minutes later, while we were still standing at the corner of the store sipping our drinks and waiting for our friend, I'm assuming the manager came out, and rudely told us that in order to eat or drink we have to show our COVID vaccine card. I thoroughly understand how important safety is for everyone and we were all fully vaccinated. But we knew they were just targeting us at this point since another group of people sat down at a table without being asked to show their card way before us. It was just too much heat between us and the workers at this point. So we decided to go out and wait for our friend. I may be wrong but I'm assuming this is an Asian owned business since majority of the people that work here are Asian since they spoke the same language as me and Nicole Li is the owner of something sweet. As someone who is Chinese, I love supporting my own people, but sadly this one experience really upset me and I no longer feel as comfortable as I did before when coming here.

    Vanilla fudge swirl
    Vicki C.

    Decent local ice cream spot! Very friendly place with comfortable seating and cute decor. They have many ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from! Aside from just ice cream, they also serve your typical sundaes, milkshakes and egg creams. A big plus is their addition of Asian flavors -- black sesame, milk tea, red bean, taro, etc. Although they have a lot of flavors available, I felt like majority of the flavors just weren't strong enough. I tried a small rafting of the milk tea, taro and dulce de leche. The milk tea and taro wasn't pungent enough and the dulce de leche tasted a bit strange. I settled on the vanilla fudge swirl which was pretty good!

    Something sweet is amazing! I've been coming here for year now and it's one of my fave spots in Staten Island for vegan bubble tea.

    The tea here reminds me of hey tea, including the thin straw that they use. It tastes like real tea…read moreflavors. My fave classic go to is the jasmine milk tea. It is more on the pricier side.

    Have to say sometimes you can judge a book by its cover... a friend stopped in to pick up a drink…read moreand I was game to try a new place for bubble tea. I told him I love Jasmine Peach tea with lychee boba not too sweet, less ice. I just wanted a medium size. He calls me to say they do not have Jasmine just regular peach tea and no lychee boba but Kanton jelly. I was game and agreed sight unseen and no menu in front of me. He came back and I first inspected the packaging of cup, quite nice. The packaged straw looked very thin to capture boba. I took the plastic cover off and opened seal and it looked like peach oolong tea. I took one sip and boy you could tell the look of DISAPPOINTMENT on my face.. just sorry to say, awful. The straw was paper thin and I could not capture the jelly, I took a fork to the bottom of my cup and saw " worm like jelly". How a paper thin straw could capture long pieces of jelly is beyond me. The plastic dome, once I took off, couldn't be put back properly. I could not believe that this "large " drink cost $10. A complete and utter rip off. Sorry to say, I will not be a future patron. There are so many fantastic bubble tea with less fancy packaging.

    Absolute scam of a place. They offer a discount on uber eats and when I placed it, uber said it…read morewould no go through. So they I decided to go into the store directly and order separately. This took me 30 mins of waiting when I was the only person in store (after 10 someone came in for a milkshake and still got theirs first) because of the lack of organization and staffing in store. Then I find o it uber charged me for the order that was "cancelled" and when I contacted uber they said that poke bowl station completed the order in their end and that since I reached out after 48 hours I could not be refunded because the order was completed. The fact that the order was cancelled then the store proceeded to "complete" an order that obviously wasn't completed because it was never picked up is shady. It is on them and uber that I got double charged by trying to try a new spot. I got scammed and paid double for a sub par meal that I had to work extra hard to get? Shame. Glad you like to scam money from customers to hire an incompetent staff.

    Pokebowl was very good, all fresh ingredients. Great spot for a lunch. Theydo add alot of rice on…read morethe bottom of the bowl, I would prefer less rice and kore filling. Good tip is that you can add kani ( imitation crab) for no extra charge, it is included in the add-ins. I got the tuna and salmon as my protein and added a bunch of free add-ins.
