    Nope, sorry. The bubble tea is powdered which many places use but this tasted like scented soap. Lady was nice.

    Too sweet. It is like drinking sugar water. I didn't taste any tea. Prices were similar to other bubble tea shops.

    Really cute boba shop with thoughtful touches & games inside. My fiance and I stopped by after…read moredinner, and we ordered the mango pomelo slush and the lychee lemon green tea. I thought that the mango pomelo might have coconut milk or some other sort of dairy inside, so we opted to remove the cheese foam, but it became just a regular slush. The mango slush was a bit artificial tasting, which was a bit disappointing because we thought it would be a fresh fruit slush. It was okay though, but would recommend it with maybe 50% sugar. The lychee lemon green tea was really refreshing & tart, but I would say that even at 50% sugar this was a bit too sweet. Plenty of parking available, and ordering is easy via the kiosk.

    Finally decided to check this place out, it's way bigger inside and they have games, cute little…read moremerchandise, and they have a claw machine. They have a of variety of drinks which includes fruits, milk teas, yakult, cheese foam and kid options as well which includes hot and cold drinks along with cakes. Since it was my first time, I went with the classic Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea and Pistachio Milk Tea. Since it was cold I opted out for no ice and I always get less sugar. The drinks were good, boba was fresh and chewy. The staff were very friendly as well. I see why they get 5 star reviews. They also have a rewards programs which you can build points to redeem for free drinks. Definitely will stop by when I'm in the area to try the other drinks! Cute place to hang out with friends or just relax with a book or something while sipping your drink.

    Stopped by Yaaa Tea in New Hyde Park first thing in the morning before a long 3-hour drive and had…read moresuch a nice experience. I actually met the owner a few years back when they first opened, and they were just as friendly and welcoming then as the vibe still feels now. The shop was super clean, fresh, and calm with very Sabrina Carpenter energy -- cute, cozy, and aesthetic without trying too hard. There was only one employee working when I went, but everything still moved smoothly thanks to the self-service kiosks, which made ordering easy. I tried the egg sandwich along with a latte made with almond milk (just note there is a small surcharge for almond milk). Everything tasted fresh and was packaged really well, especially the sandwich being wrapped up nicely since I was taking it on the road. One little tip: if you order a layered drink or something with toppings, ask if you can shake it yourself before the employee does it. Mine looked so pretty before it got shaken up for me, and I would've loved a quick picture first! The employee was very sweet though and overall the service was great. Definitely a solid morning stop in New Hyde Park and I'll be back again.

    Good service here. Came here on a weekend and there were a few parking spots in the parking lot…read more It looked very run down in the area. The lady who made the drinks was very nice. The store space was small and most people took the food to go. there was one table with 2 chairs for anyone who wants to dine in and no full-size garbage can inside or outside of the store. There was a pencil holder on the counter where you order food that was being used as a garbage can which I found a bit odd. I got a passionfruit green tea, taro milk tea, and matcha bubble tea along with a scallion croffie that was delicious.

They even have board games for customers, so it's an appropriate spot if you'd like to chill with your friends! I went with my friend and we got the Veggie Momo ($12), the Paneer Momo ($13) and drinks. The Momos are shareable and each order has 8 pcs, along with hot sauce, sweet chili sauce and a yogurt sauce for dips. My favorite dip was the sweet chili sauce. I was pretty excited for the Paneer Momos and they didn't disappoint me. We also got the Iced Passion Fruit Green Tea and the Kulfi Falooda Milk Tea with Boba ($8.85, you need to pay an extra $1 for the Boba). I tried the Kulfi Falooda and it had strong floral flavors that felt a bit overpowering for me. It didn't taste bad and was definitely a new experience. Once the ice melted, it diluted the drink and then tasted better.

    Wanted to support this small halal-friendly business because the concept has potential, but the…read moreexperience felt a little underwhelming overall. When I walked in, I only got a quick "hi" and wasn't really acknowledged until after another customer was helped. To be fair, there was only one employee working and she seemed to be doing her best, so this felt more like a management issue than an employee problem. The biggest disappointment was being told they were out of the white/yogurt sauce after I already paid for the momos. That sauce is kind of essential to the dish, so it made the experience feel incomplete. Inventory and communication could definitely be improved. The deal was advertised as 16 it was closer to 18. The atmosphere also felt very empty and quiet. I honestly think this place would benefit from more community events, poetry nights, music, or something to bring more life and energy into the space. I still appreciate what they're trying to do and I do want to support small culturally diverse businesses. There's potential here, but right now the experience feels a bit subpar and unpolished. I'd still come back in the future to see if things improve.

    An incredible boba tea place serving up the freshest boba I've ever had…read more This is a place that cares about quality and experience. Their big bragging point is that they make fresh tapioca boba every single hour. That's huge. You can absolutely feel and taste the freshness, and it makes such a huge difference. After this, I don't know if I can go back to any other place. The owners were so wonderful to chat with and you can tell they're super passionate and care a lot. The kiosks were super easy to order through, and the staff was on hand to help if needed. The guy behind the counter was so friendly and helpful, and even offered me some samples of their cookies, which were fantastic. The branding is impeccable and the place is super clean and modern, which I absolutely love. There's plenty of space and it's really welcoming. Overall a really solid place and definitely going to be my go to for Boba!

With its self service ordering tablets that make ordering so much more convenient and easy to easy, and drinks made like I've never seen before. I came here on a Sunday and was very surprised to see coffee on the menu. Very unique combination that are also extremely customizable. You can choose what toppings you'd like, the amount of espresso shots you'd like in it, as well as the amount of pumps of syrup you'd like. Very unconventional to the other places I've been to. The combination of coffee and boba wasn't bad at all. I really enjoyed the texture of the boba, soft, chewy and bouncy. The coffee itself was a little watered down, but still pretty decent. There also have a large array of desserts to complement your beverage. I would say the prices here are pretty reasonable in comparison to other stores, as well as to the extend of the additional topping they add in. The service here was noteworthy. The staff were all very friendly and happy to help. Service was fast and efficient, and overall very pleasant. And while there are no seats here to sit at, the interior is very as you'd expect from any other boba shop. TLDR; good boba, decent drinks, reasonable prices, good service.
