My bubble tea crawl continues throughout New York City attaining my favorite default grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 choice topping. Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! My experience was not magical as the customer service inadvertently botched my drink order. There are steps upon entering which this business is not ADA compliant. Honey Jasmine Green Tea, $7.25 Disappointingly, there is no ice as I surely requested. Having ice in my drink is how I manage to stay cool on a hot day in June as I wanted a cold drink (no milk and no boba). I had finished my tiresome grueling long infinite workday and hoped for a cool down. This is the beginning of a infinite hot humid long revolving door New York City summer 2025. My drink was served cool, but not high Arctic extreme cold as I hoped and after a 1 hour 10 minute subway ride home my drink became room temperate. The grass jelly was also served room temperate, but not chilled. The honey overpowered the green tea. I tasted the honey in my Jasmine green tea which is rather sweet. The clear plastic cup is minuscule thin as I can poke my finger and the entire cup will break spilling all the contents. Tea Magic did not take heed to the magic. There is a large Japanese maneki-neko 招き猫 beckoning cat at the order counter blessing the business, greeting customers, serving as a good luck revered position and decoration. However, this beckoning cat did not raised its paw. There are two signs "DO NOT TOUCH THE LUCKY CAT." There is also a sign informing customers of "price adjustment notice due to inflationary pressures to sustain increased operational costs." Well... at least the proprietor(s) are honest and direct to customers. There is a loyalty card where after the tenth drink customers receive a $5.00 discount for the next purchase. These loyalty cards sit in a cute mini shopping cart. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit 1 train at 72nd Street in Upper West Side, Manhattan, NYC. read more

Came in for a late-night boba run. We got the Lavender Milk Tea and the Coffee Black Milk Tea. I can say they aren't the best. You can taste the lavender powder that hasn't been fully mixed in yet. The coffee tasted a little weird to me. The boba in the drink wasn't the best. But if you are looking so somewhere to just sit and talk, they do have a good amount of seating. Overall, there are better boba places, but if nothing else is open, then this is your place. read more

Taro was amazing. So simple in its flavor. Love the chewy bubble bottoms. A little steep price but very refreshing overall read more

got the brown sugar boba.. taste was decent but I loved the tapioca pearls themselves. not much to say as it was waaay too sweet at 50% (their lowest option) and the caramel was in huge globs at the bottom. Looked nothing like the advertised photo and I'm relieved I wasn't the one paying for it. there are much better boba spots area the area! read more

Ordered delivery for the large 30oz matcha milk tea and one vegetable steam bun. Delivery arrived early. Very quick! The vegetable steam bun was a little stuck to the paper it was wrapped in. And it's mostly dough. Veggies in it were good. Just wish there were more. I wouldn't order it again. It was $5. It's not worth it for me. The large 30oz matcha milk tea I ordered with no sugar, less ice, added tapioca bubbles, and asked for a lactose free milk or milk alternative. This drink was $8.75. I really LOVE the size of it!! It's like my own little delicious bucket of matcha bubble tea! It was very good. Good quality. I will definitely order bubble teas from here again!! :) highly recommend read more

I would give this place a 3.5 for the price for the taste, quality, and size. I got a sesame milk tea with 30% sugar and grass jelly. I love that they offered sesame MT since it's not as common. However, I found the sizes too small for the price. I believe my drink was close to $6 and it was a lot of ice. My aunt got a small iced tea and was done by the end of the block. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. However, being from out of town, I would not come back just for this place. Tl;dr would probably not come here again for common flavors but would if I wanted sesame MT. read more

I've order here a couple of times from work and will say that this is my GO-TO spot for my bubble tea fix! So far, I'd usually order the Taro Milk Tea or the Passionfruit Black Tea. The order is always made correctly and just the way I asked. You can customize the level of ice and sugar when you order. For the Passionfruit Black Tea, I usually get the smallest size and I love the cute little cylinder cups they use for them! The size is not too small..its just perfect! The Passionfruit tea is always refreshing and it taste like I'm drinking fresh tea. That also goes for the Taro - I don't feel like I'm drinking the powdered stuff..I feel like I'm getting something real here if you know what I mean. The bubbles are some of the chewiest balls I've had! I'm not usually a big fan of those balls, but man those were awesome. Enjoy! read more

Tea Magic - The camera did not eat first. Insane portion for the price, gotta love it! - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Open late, 11 pm. Nice staff. The standard black milk tea with bubbles delivers, with nicely QQ boba, a pleasant (though somewhat muted) tea flavor, and the standard customization options. Tea quality and boba consistently hold up, even near closing time, when I went. read more

I stopped by here today to grab a bubble milk tea because I am addicted to Bubble Milk Tea. It had the bubbles, it had the milk, but it had no tea in it whatsoever. What the heck? It literally just tasted like sugar and watered down milk. I drank about 30% and tossed the rest. Overall: Never coming here again. read more

What grabbed me in was that there's a massive 30oz boba. I had to try it. Boils down to almost 10 bucks for it. The location is nice but the store itself has no seating which is sad. The decoration is nice but it seems to be a grab and go spot. I got the peach slushie with tapioca 50% less sugar. Still a little too sweet for me but otherwise it's massive. I was so happy only I feel like the price is about what you get since it's one of the more expensive boba. Toppings are separate price as well which is weird to me but it's been the trend. Service is quick and the boba was made very well. read more

I love New York City! Where else can you find Taiwan Brown Sugar Milk Tea (aka dirty tea) available & delivered to your doorstep at 10pm on a Sunday night? Tea Magic offers an extensive selection of tea drinks plus smoothies, shakes, lattes, crepes, desserts, dumplings, buns and hot soups. During the pandemic, I've ordered tons of deliveries, mostly from my favorite restaurants pre-pandemic. Tonight I decided to try something new. Back when I used to take the M72 bus, I always wanted to try out Tea Magic on west 72nd street. I went to seamless.com & checked out the online menu. I decided to try the Brown Sugar Matcha Milk Tea - 'cause I wanna stay up all night - it's 10pm and I'm hitting the caffeine as my sleep cycle is all messed up due to the virtual life I've been leading... I also decided to take a chance on the Tapioca Boba Crepe - which looks like something from outer space - it's late, I'm bored and why not ? What's the worst that can happen? Hmm don't want to think about that too much Review : Brown Sugar Matcha Milk Tea - Good. But just like an Instagram celebrity, in real life it looks nothing like the photo online ! Was disappointed, tea was tipped & shaken - tasted like plain matcha green milk tea. Tapioca Boba Crepe - Wow! Surprisingly delicious! If you like dulce de leche or caramel, plus tapioca, you'll really enjoy this crepe. Five stars all the way for taste. As for presentation, it did not look like the online menu photo. I think this is one of the ugliest best tasting desserts. My eyes looked at it and said no; my tongue tasted it and said yes yes yes. Definitely will order from again. Delivery was quick. Nicely packaged (arrived intact, even though it got shaken around a bit). read more

Solid place. The drinks are ok and so is the pork bun but considering this is close to campus (Columbia) and it closes pretty late (11 pm) this is my go-to spot for studying when I'm feeling boba or get tired of routinely going to the Butler library. The place is a little small ofc because this is NY but it has a bar and a few small tables for 2-4 people, or you can just put the little tables together if you're a bigger group. It usually doesn't get too busy, especially during the weekdays. The workers are pretty nice too, one of the cashiers is pretty honest about what's good and what's not when I asked her what to get. I'll be regularly going here (: read more

It was 9009090 degrees last Saturday so of course I had to make a drink stop on my way home. What better way to refresh than a boba slushy. Tea magic offers a large variety of original teas, slushies, fruit teas, smoothies and more. They dont skimp out on the boba and other inclusions and they have pretty decent size options as well. I usually get their passion fruit slushy with tapioca, give it a try! read more

Expensive. I asked for small size milk tea and it shows 5.5 on their board. But the machine charged me 6.25 and they said it's bc the boba is costing money. But their machine shows 0 for boba topping. The price is their lowest milk tea price. I got charged for $10 for their milk tea yesterday. I am amazed milk tea is even more expensive than urchi now. read more

Another sad mistake for being adventurous. We ordered the Thai tea, and it tasted like water. A Thai tea, a boldly flavored black tea combined with milk/half n half, sugar, and maybe condensed milk/honey, having absolutely no flavor? There are so many flavors to choose from, and Tea Magic chose to have their Thai tea taste like sad orange water. Disgusting. Utter trash. It was so awful, we poured it down the sink. read more

Note: there is a price hike since January 2019. A large Jasmine green milk tea costs 6.75 with .75 a topping. The drink has more tea than milk, which makes me very happy! The grass jelly was sweetened, which makes it a great combination with the Jasmine milk tea. :) Again, I would definitely return. read more

Yesterday morning around 11:30am I stopped by to get six drinks. There's only one worker who's doing bubble tea which is understandable because that's a morning hour. Ahead of me there was 6 ppl ordering food and bubble tea. Since I'm not obsessed with sweet or milk I wrote on a paper the percentage of sweet and drinks I need. Salted green tea 75% sugar Strawberry milk tea 75% sugar Chocolate slush 75% sugar Mango green tea 75% sugar 2 pomegranate black tea 25% sugar. Sunday when I stopped by for first time I got pomegranate black tea 25% sugar which was really good and just perfect for me. My second visit the rest of drinks my friends said it were good but my drink it was just too sweet for me that I have to pour half of my water inside. Overall my second visit was sad it wasn't great due to two pomegranates black tea. It was just too sweet. This wasn't 25% sugar. The lady that works there apologize for the wait but I came back because I really like the drink. Hopefully next time they dont make mistakes. read more

Tea Magic - Chai Tea Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I love boba drinks, especially during the summer! I recently moved close by and was really excited to try this bubble tea location. Unfortunately, it disappointed me. The price is a bit higher than I'm used to for boba. I got medium drinks, which are probably comparable to a large in normal boba places (Tea Magic's large size is ridiculously HUGE - definitely seems like a size you'd want to share with someone...I'm talking as someone that's a lover of boba lol.) I think I paid about $7+ dollars for each medium sized drink. Peach green tea w/boba: 3.5/5. The tea itself was really nice and refreshing on a hot day. But the boba was hard and not fresh. Jasmine green milk tea w/boba: 2/5. This time, the boba was much better...but the jasmine milk tea tasted very off. It might be because I'm used to black tea with jasmine milk tea, but the milk part itself tasted off to me :/ If I'm heading to the park and am craving a boba tea, I might pop in again, but otherwise I might go an extra few avenues over to visit Coco. read more

Stopped by today with my mother. A great little place to grab bubble tea and some food. I only tried the bubble tea today and it tasted great!! The bubbles were chewy (not too hard or too soft) and the milk tea tasted fresh. If I happen to be in the area again, I'll definitely stop by - maybe try some food on their menu!! read more

Tea Magic bubble tea is so good with a good amount of fresh boba or jelly cubes that it will cool you down, save your wallet, and make your troubles melt away. read more

I just ordered a bubble tea, and they didn't include a straw. I spent $15 on the bubble tea and would expected to have a straw in there so I can drink bubble tea. I waved the guy down before he went downstairs and he said "that's what he owner did" and shook his head. How can you guys not include a straw when you know it's an important utensil needed for drinking your stupid bubble tea. Will never be ordering again and will post everywhere in socials that they should never go to Tea Magic. Ever. Like do NOT waste your money. read more

I've probably tried close to 30 boba places in my life and this is my go to neighborhood boba place. It's nothing fancy, but they're always consistent in their teas and slushies.

I never have to wait in line and the lychee slush and honey dew milk slushes are my favorite drinks. read more

I was here a while ago and the tea was pretty good! My friend and I both enjoyed the more classic flavors and it was less novelty tea than some other boba places in NYC. Worth stopping by pre-pandemic, I don't know about their COVID precautions and the building is quite small. read more

The milk tea was good. I got 75% sweet which was still too sweet for me, so would try 50% next time. The boba was small, had good texture, but quickly became "stale" before I finished my drink which was strange. I was confused by there being 2 places in one location. The cashier seemed to be in training but very nice. read more

I usually don't write reviews at all but this is the worst bubble tea I've ever tasted. The tapioca was hard and the chai tea I ordered (which was $2 extra), felt like I was drinking the chai powder in that they mixed into the drink in clumps. I thought a bubble tea place in the city would be decent given the expensive rent prices but i was wrong. In this case, you can judge a book by its cover because the store is very unwelcoming looking as well. I waited in front for 5 mins before I was served. read more
