Matcha Frappe
Fateha A.

M Matcha tres leches frappe slush $6.65- w/ mango jelly, matcha can be stronger, but decent, maybe I shuda chosen a topping that doesn't overpower the matcha

Brown Sugar Boba Frappe
Sandra R.

This frappe was so delicious. We came in placed our order and had a tasty delight within minutes. They have seating if you choose to sit and enjoy your beverage and they are very polite. However this is my first time here and looking forward to the next.

Rose Cream Foam Cold Brew Coffee
Jonarose V.

Not a bad spot... maybe I'll order something different next time; as the cold brew wasn't as strong as I anticipated or used to, as it seems watered down. The Rose Cream Foam was pretty amazing though. Nice and floral without being super strong. It was just enough to my liking. I think my next try will be one of the calamansi drinks as I love the sour flavor. Haha.

This is my second time back. Teapsy an Asian bubble teahouse is still overpriced with pretty average concoctions and flavours. I was here yesterday and found very little had changed in service and quality. I do not plan to return anytime soon.

Winter Melon Green Tea
Matthew W.

Service is very efficient and quick. Very clean inside. The wintermelon tea was a bit sweet, but still good.

Peach Hibiscus Tea
Gab G.

Ordered delivery and had a great experience. The passionfruit green tea and peach hibiscus tea were both super tasty. Will try the Hong Kong coffee milk tea next time!

My friend recommended this tea place since it's freshly brew tea and doesn't use powder. This is a small takeout place. You order from a tablet. In a few minutes your drink is ready. I decided on a rose earl grey milk tea. The flavor is well balanced. I can't wait to order another drink when I stop by again.

We were excited to try this Boba spot based on review and honestly we were kind of disappointed... The Taro Tea was clunky and didn't give you that refreshing feel you expect, the Grapefruit Jasmin Green tea was ok but a bit more bitter and earthy than expected and the Passion Fruit Tea was actually pretty good, sweet. Had higher expectations based on prior review and the location.

Regular Iced Lavender Rose Milk Tea (~$5).
Aya E.

I have been craving boba for a while and since it's been so long since I've been back to Teapsy, I figured today was the day. I placed my order online and less than 10 minutes later, I headed over and my drink was already ready! I got the Regular Iced Lavender Rose Milk Tea (~$5). The regular size is 16 oz. I got it with less ice and 50% sugar. I absolutely love lavender and rose, so I knew this drink would be right up my alley! And I was right. The mix of these 2 floral flavors surprisingly went well together. The drink was creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. I didn't change the milk option, but it's nice that you can do that at no additional cost! All in all, Teapsy is a solid spot to check out for all your boba needs! They have a unique menu and delicious drinks. You will not regret it.

I find some of the messages I get on yelp CREEPSY I get a bit disturbed and then I can't get to SLEEPSY Some Boba I throw out, but this one i wanna KEEPSY Because I love the menu and the products at TEAPSY When you taste the drinks here, angels will get WEEPSY There's other good Boba but the price is pretty STEEPSY I spent last night with your mother, but we didn't SLEEPSY Anyway, come and try the Bubble Tea at TEAPSY! WHAT Apparently, everybody in the club's getting Teapsy. This is one of the most unusual and Innovative menus of any place that I've gotten Bubble Tea in my whole life. It has a global feel, like your mother. The girl working here was a total angel. She hooked me up with a couple of very interesting drinks. She had a sarcastic New York attitude and I really liked it. I loved their drinks as well. The Filipino Lemon Tea is very interesting and tasty and unusual and not too sweet. Loved every sip. Their milk tea was also excellent. Very yummy and I'd love to try more things off of this excellent menu. Definitely a five-star bubble tea destination in Astoria. For innovation, decor, service, and products as well. So I hope my rhyming won't bore ya And I'm sorry I tried this before ya But if you want some Boba Your search is now over Come straight to Teapsy in Astoria!

Left: thai iced tea, Right: grapefruit yogurt tea
Wendy Y.

They have so many enticing drink choices here, like their tres leche coffee milk tea, and a rum raisin milk tea! I was pretty stuffed from lunch so I chose a grapefruit yogurt drink, which I thought would be refreshing. The drink was refreshing but a tad too sour and watery for my liking. I also found the boba pearls to be too chewy in texture. I prefer them to be a lot softer. Maybe I just ordered the wrong drink and need to give Teapsy another chance.

Lavender rose milk tea (left) and sakura rose milk tea (right)
Taylor W.

Got the sakura rose milk tea and the lavender rose milk tea. I got minimal sugar and it wasn't too sweet unlike other boba places that are crazy sweet even with reduced sweetness. I can definitely taste the hint of sakura but my favorite has got to be the lavender rose milk tea. The lavender wasn't too overpowering but still noticeable. Boba isn't very sweet but has good texture. I'm a bigger fan of honey boba and a sweeter boba taste, but I can see how some people might just want the sweetness from their own drink. Staff is great and very friendly. Participated in their 3 year anniversary raffle and got a free drink. Seating is limited -- about 9 seats ( 3 x pairs and a counter of 3) Will definitely be back. This place is so cute.

Owner seems like a gem.

While there might be a lot of boba/bubble tea/tapioca in the general LIC area, this is basically…read morethe bubble tea shop near the waterfront. There are some other restaurants nearby that will have boba on the menu but I consider that separate from a bubble tea shop whose main or only product is the tea. There is some minimal seating (bar stools) but it's largely a to-go place. The ambiance is clean lines, black walls, white tile etc. Patrons leave napkins/straw wrappers, things can be a bit sticky, and it doesn't seem like this is attended to all that quickly. And it's not like it's busy - every time I go in there it's empty of people. There are 2 self service kiosks to order at and thus you're not really greeted or acknowledged when you enter, which is mostly in line with the nyc norm. The tea itself I think is just okay. It is a bit pricey; everything will run you close to $8 before any substitutions or add-ins. They have some fun flavors like the raspberry hojicha. I do think that the standard bubble milk tea that they offer highlights that the tea itself isn't great quality - it's either oversteeped or just not great quality tea being used. Still, it's better than not having boba in the area.

This used to be my go-to spot when I was still living in the area, and having tried it again after…read morea year, that first sip reminded me again of why it was my favorite!! It's so delicious that I could not stop drinking it. My order is usually the osmanthus latte with pudding added in, but their oolong is great too. For the introverts, you can just order it at the kiosk- it was a bit more expensive than I remember, with my order coming out to about $10, but it really did hit the spot after being turned off by mediocre bubble tea drinks in other places. There's no real sit-down area so it's mostly a grab-n-go situation.

The staff was very rude and basically said "what do you want?". Asked her a question about what something on the menu was and instead of answering it, she just said "don't matter. No more". Food: got some dessert thing (Joyful treat bowl) that sounded really good but was a whole big glob of mess and did not taste good. Drink: got a watermelon jasmine tea that was basically filled with watermelon pulp Definitely would not be returning!

Master Panda, thanks for participating in the Yelp Lunar New year Boba Crawl and being the first…read moreand last stop. The jasmine milk tea I sampled in the store first was a bit high in the milk to tea ratio, though I appreciated the chance to try this. The oolong tea flavor (can't recall if it was a citrus or passionfruit flavor) at the end was good--refreshing and light. The bubbles were a little on the sweeter side, with decent chewiness. I purchased a plum Americano first time and it was an innovative take on Asian flavors mixed with coffee. The fusion of traditional tart plum "soup" with coffee worked in an herbally way, kinda like a kombucha coffee. Based on this I think some of the other coffee items with citrus may be good to try here. The following comments are in the spirit of constructive feedback so I hope this will help you guys! I read online that the focus of the store is to provide fresh milk with their teas, specifically regular dairy milk. Though I think this is a stronger selling point probably in Asia, the interesting fact is that a fair number of people are lactose intolerant, (or will become so later in life). And with the trend away from cow's milk to more plant-based milks, I think it's a miss not to offer milk substitutes. The second point to work on is consistency in the menu, I'm not sure why the menu placed by the ordering counter contains a few different items than the menu on the screen on the wall, which is also slightly different from the menu shown in the digital kiosks (I didn't order from the kiosk but took a look at it). Maybe it's because this store is still tweaking the menu, though in this case it would be helpful to explain to customers. Yesterday I came by to redeem a coupon for a free drink, it was a generous offer and thanks for giving me another opportunity to try a drink! Choosing the Jasmine coconut tea with water chestnut bubbles, the flavor combo sounded interesting though didn't mesh that successfully in reality. The water chestnut bubbles provided a pop and little crunch which was unlike anything I've had before, with a light, almost imperceptible sweetness. Overall I felt the staff was kind--thanks for the rose with the drink and the panda takeaway bag during the initial boba crawl!

HeyTea in Long Island City brings the brand's signature drink lineup to the area, and for fans of…read morethe menu it is a welcome addition. We walked into a cozy space with a comfortable feel that makes it easy to settle in for a bit, and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between modern and relaxed. The drinks themselves are the main draw and largely deliver. We ordered the Coconut Mango Boom, the standout on the menu, and it came loaded with a generous chunk of actual mango that made the whole thing feel more substantial than your average fruit tea. The Triple Matcha is another strong option for anyone looking for a matcha drink. Toppings were consistently chewy and the flavor balance across most of the lineup leans on the lighter, less sweet side, which works well for us. Where things get complicated is the wait. This location runs long on order times fairly regularly, and during busier stretches or when delivery orders are stacking up, a single drink can take thirty to forty minutes. The staff are generally efficient and straightforward, which suits the format, but the kitchen and barista workflow seems to struggle with volume in a way that other HeyTea locations do not. If you are already a HeyTea regular, the Long Island City location is a convenient option for the area, and the menu quality holds up to what the brand does elsewhere. Just plan accordingly on timing and you will leave happy. We would come back for the Coconut Mango Boom, but we would order ahead and build in a buffer before we need to be anywhere else.

Ordering is digital. You place your order and pay at a self serve kiosk. The serving team behind the counter was working diligently to prepare all the drinks. I ordered the Coconut Mango Boom with sago. It was creamy, refreshing, and packed with sweet mango flavor. The tiny sago pearls add a nice chewy texture to the drink. The menu also offers a wide variety of drinks, including matcha, fruit teas such as grapefruit, guava, and even kale, as well as traditional Chinese teas like jasmine and longjing (aka dragon well). I would like to come back by and try some of those if I'm in the area.

Wish there was a bit more of it. Shoot potato Potato texture could be done a bit longer seeing how it was called fried on the menu when it's more like tater sized cut potatoes. Could be a bit softer on the inside. But with the mayo, the texture is actually good the way it is. The potato is pretty bland and the mayo makes up a bit for it but not by much. The mayo isnt my favorite type of flavor so it's kinda just okayish With the nori flavor/furikake and the mayo, it ends up almost tasting and feeling like a fish and chips with white fish Taku sando Yuzu ginger ale. The drink is pretty good ginger ale and yuzu flavor works so good together. But as it sits it doesn't taste as good Spicy goma miso tastes very peanut buttery and creamy Banban chicken ramen also tasty very but buttery. But after that first sip, it loses a lot of flavor.
