I really do love this place, which has been such a pleasant surprise. I do think the prices are high, but it's on par with other places. Always clean, a few tables, and the service is consistently so fast and nice! I love the taro coco so much!!! A great balance of not too sweet read more

Honestly, the dessert bowl with the cute pandas was what convinced me to check out this place. It's too cute! The interior is small, narrow like most locations around Chinatown. You just order your food, wait, and then either find a table to sit down or just eat outside. I was fortunate to be able to sit down to enjoy this dessert. The Pandas on Pandan dessert can be best described as a aesthetically pleasing bowl filled with many things such as fruit, pudding, sago, and jelly! You get a packet of Coconut Milk to add and it gives flexibility on how much you want to add in. I personally added half just so it's milky enough to give it a spa like look.. yes... the Pandas are at the spa. Everything is edible, including the pandas which is just mochi. I really enjoyed the dessert even though it was a bit pricy. For $13 I understand it is a lot but I think maybe it's best to share it with someone else. It can be a bit too much for one person. I would come back for more! read more

Stopped by SugaBox for a bubble tea. It was good overall and a nice refreshing treat. There were several flavors to choose from, and the drink was made quickly. The shop was clean, and the staff were friendly. Not the best bubble tea I've ever had, but a solid option if you're in the area and craving something sweet. read more

SugaBox is a dessert cafe in Manhattan Chinatown specializing in fruity, not too sweet, Asian desserts. I wanted an after dinner pick me up and ordered a coconut pudding. It was light and refreshing and pretty. The cafe is casual, small and narrow, and has seating for a dozen people. When I went on a Thursday evening, it was pretty empty, and perfect for catching up on journaling while I waited for a friend. Clean, fast, tasty, and cute! read more

Small location for drinks and snacks. There is currently a BOGO 50% off. I like their passionfruit drink as its not overly sweet. You can also opt to add additional toppings. My friend's yakult drink wasn't overly sweet as well. There is some seating if you decide to dine in. Ordering and service is friendly and quick. read more

Came here for a quick bite of after-dinner sugar. We got the Pandas on Pandan. It was cute as a button but bland as.....a button? Anyway, it looked on point but lacked actual pandan or coconut flavor. Textures were nicely chewy, though, and the panda marshmallows themselves were sweet. If you don't care to 'gram your dessert, maybe try something else. read more

Stopped by at this small dessert shop for a sweet treat after dinner nearby. There's a handful of seats but when we came by it was still pretty empty, just a few other people eating. We got the "three sisters" which I liked! The jellies were very yummy without being too sweet, and I appreciated that they let me switch out the popping boba (hate!!) for lychee jelly haha. Portion size was pretty big (fair for the price) Would definitely come back :) read more

SugaBox - Three sisters (lychee jelly instead of popping boba) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chinatown, New York

It's a cute small dessert place in the heart of Chinatown. There's a a couple of places to sit inside but mostly it's a take out dessert place for shaved ices and other sweet treats. We got the special matcha shaved ice. The water melon and popping boba was sweet. The matcha flavor was strong. The ice had a slight creamy texture. The cool treat was perfect for a hot summer day. The staff was friendly. read more

What drew me to this particular spot in Chinatown were the dessert bowls. I ordered the Fruity Osmanthus which had an assortment of jellies, fruit and pudding. The coconut milk was provided separately in a liquid pack which was a nice touch since I got to control how much to add to the bowl and was able to reseal the rest to bring back home. Overall, it was a nice refreshing dessert but at $13 including tax, was hoping there would be a bit more since ingredients were a bit sparse and the bowls are rather shallow. The cafe itself is small and narrow but does have a few tables ideal for parties of 2 but would not recommend for large groups. More of a to-go spot. read more

This place was adorable, brightly light, and well decorated. I got the milk tea with boba and it was super good. Boba was the perfect consistency and the tea had great flavor. The staff was friendly and helped with any questions I had. read more

I've been wanting to try their pandas on Pandan for a while and glad I got to try it on a hot summer day. There's limited seating so that's something to keep in mind if coming here. This is actually a pretty decent sized portion and there's quite a bit of topping. I was always curious what the pandas tasted like, and it's marshmallows! read more

Roaming around and decided to stop by this Chinese dessert shop on a 90+ degree day in NYC. The shop is new! Opened maybe a few months. Small shop, friendly service and very clean. The desserts are sooo refreshing and just sweet enough. A welcome treat on this super hot day! Only wish was that they had a branch in Philly! read more

Visited this place for the first time and this is a super fun dessert to try. It's great for the summertime and will keep you cool. This chilled dessert came with mangoes, watermelon, jelly, and pudding. This option is dairy-free so i love that they had this option! The coconut milk was also super good and paired well with the dessert. I rarely see desserts like this in Chinatown so happy to hear that there's something like this now. read more

I would give them a zero if I could!!! I had placed an order over the phone, arrived at the location, paid and was given something completely different. I had ordered taro mochi (hot dessert) & was given taro mochi milk tea.... After I paid and was given the wrong item I wasn't even offered a refund or something to make the situation better. It's also a joke how this milk tea costed $8 and was a medium (which looks like a small) & the funniest part is, IT DIDNT EVEN COME WITH MOCHI!! What a scam/rip off!! The girl in the front who served it to me basically guilt tripped me into taking it saying "we don't have that on the menu sorry, this is what we made" (keep in mind it's on their menu loud and clear under hot desserts). I would've asked for a refund but there was a line and I didn't wanna hold it up. Very poor customer service & I WONT be coming back! Don't have items on the menu you don't serve anymore & don't guilt trip and force customers to take something they didn't order! read more

SugaBox - GAVE ME THE WRONG ITEM!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chinatown, New York

Cute, clean interior and playful decor. Saw the fun Pandas on Pandan and wanted to try. Pandas are flavored marshmallows but were not the freshest. Fun textures altogether though. This order also comes with a coconut milk pouch that you get to pour yourself. Not my exact taste of dessert but I admit ordered it for the experience. Food itself isn't outstanding, but the kind staff and setting makes up for it. read more

SugaBox - Pandas on Pandan and Grape Fruit Slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chinatown, New York

New boba + dessert spot in Chinatown on Bayard St! They have a good selection of milk teas, slushes, fruit drinks - the usual. They have pretty stiff competition with Chicha San Chen and a plethora of other boba spots within a few blocks, but the grape slush I got was a solid contender. One area for improvement was that they didn't have any non-dairy milks, so I had to skip on trying the milk teas. Didn't get to try any of the desserts this time but the coconut pudding desserts that two girls at a table next to me were eating looked really aesthetic and tasty, so will definitely try one of those next time. read more

What a cute little shop! Service was fast and the dessert was cute and quite yummy! we ordered the pandas on Pandan and thread sisters dessert . The coconut milk came separately in a pouch for you to pour over your dessert. Choice of sago or bingfen jelly on the desserts as well. Both looked amazing. The noodle jelly was different and tasty. Very filling so can definitely share btw 2 people if you want . They do serve snacks as well but we were too full to eat it. Will have to try next time ! read more

Refreshing desserts for a hot summer day. If you like che, this will be right up your alley. If you like boba, probably will like this too. Bonus for having seating and outlets. Not recommending setting up camp, but a great place to have a quick break. Folks were nice, too :) read more

SugaBox - Three sisters - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chinatown, New York

My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place. We've gone a few times and every time it's been solid. Our favorite is the Taro. It comes with a bunch of different things that all work very well together. It's a mixture of different textures and flavors, which makes it fun to eat. It includes coconut noodles, which is a bit hard to eat honestly but kind of fun as well. The fruit we think is seasonal because we've gotten watermelon one and a different fruit another. It all just blends nicely and lets us have different desserts in one. read more

SugaBox - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chinatown, New York

3.7/5 Three Sisters - a lot of fun textures but flavors were very mild. I especially wished the pandan and the osmanthus tea jelly was more strongly flavored, and I expected it to have the bright flavors of Ais Kacang/ Cendol. Everything taste wise was easily drowned out by the coconut milk. read more

Pleasantly surprised! We had a bunch of these at a birthday party and when the desserts came out, these were definitely making people turn heads. All I saw were my some people slurping what looked like noodles and someone else constantly scooping their bowl. The way the boba looked like actual pearls in some angles was amazing which kind off represented jewelry boxes. I had the three sisters and it was delicious! Every item was consistently yummy. I loved the different textures and experience this dessert gave me- what a treat read more

The drinks were highly disappointing. I'd recommend going to chichasanchen or tea pulse instead

So this is tant a take out spot.. they do have 4 tiny tables, so you can sit, but not in a cozy way. You order at the counter and wait. I got the bubble tea combo..I ordered the spicy wings. They are the reason this place got 5 stars. I got a taro mochi bubble tea... it had maybe 8 bubbles in it! No exaggeration! But I guess it was good, cuz, they were not good.. they tasted day old and tough.. the tattoo was good though, and the tea itself was flavorful. Now back to the star, the wings! Omg, they were the best wings I've had in forever! They were small, they were all flats (my favorite), they were coated with a very fine spicy powder. They were streaming hot, crispy, but not too crispy, and the most juicy wings I've ever had! Wow! This may be my new addiction! I will be thinking about them a lot, and have to really challenge myself not to buy them everything's I'm in Chinatown. But for now, I'm looking for an excuse to hear there asap... read more
