    Mango Fresh Milk/Milk Tea(Large) / with lychee jelly
    Sam S.

    First thought after I took a sip was "dang I gotta come back and try other flavors." The store is small and I wouldn't say it has comfortable seating. But clean enough and the workers were nice and efficient. I was going to go to a chain store but then thought I'd give this place a shot, glad I did. I'd recommend and will def come back to try some of the other popular drinks.

    Decided to try this new boba tea shop at the Brooklyn location. It's fairly new, came in for their buy one get second half off deal. Ordered their Brown sugar Boba and Oreo creme milk tea. With two staff persons behind the counter my order took a long while (they also served phone/online orders) to make. The wait was almost close to ten minutes for two drinks- staff seemed a bit frazzled with incoming orders- and a customer in front of me was disputing the bill because of the deal. To be quite honest, even with the deal- the drinks are still a bit expensive. I really like the Brown sugar boba drink (tapioca was bouncy)-bobas were pretty QQ. The Oreo creme milk tea was okay. My order came in a pretty shopping bag, an added nice touch. Since 80's tea shut down, this will be a new variety in the neighborhood.

    Creme Brulee Taro Milk tea (asked to add Boba) and The Whole (coconut milk), Creme Brulee Matcha milk tea (asked to add Boba).

    It's buy 2 get one free for their soft opening. Asked for suggestions and the rep was kind to let me know their popular items of milk teas. I've ordered: The Whale (coconut milk), Crème Brûlée Taro Milk tea (asked to add Boba) and Creme brûlée Matcha milk tea (asked to add Boba). I like how you can ask to adjust the sugar levels and how much ice you would like in the drinks. I enjoyed "The Whale" drink the most it was creamy and refreshing at the same time with pretty blue coloring, coconut milk with peach jelly and perfectly sweetened. Definitely going to go back to try other drinks.

    New and coming bubble tea and/or other assorted drinks spot! Upon entering, there is a kiosk where you can submit your order. You can also order at the register if you'd like. There is standing room by the high top tables, but no seating available. Currently, there is a promotion for buy 2 get 1 free. There is also a student discount for 20% off any single drink. We ordered three drinks: a Brown Sugar Ginger Milk Tea, Mango Fresh Milk, and Peach Oolong Tea. We got the Brown Sugar Ginger Milk Tea with tapioca and it tasted very good with a decent ginger flavor. The tapioca was on the house, which we appreciated! The Mango Fresh Milk tasted refreshing with a subtle mango flavor to the drink. The Peach Oolong Tea with passionfruit popping boba tasted sweet and refreshing as well. Service was good and relatively efficient.

    Small and simple. My new go to boba place in Bay Parkway. All drinks are handmade by the workers. Usually only two employees. I really enjoy the Whale Crystal drink. Some drinks sometimes comes with topping already, so make sure to ask incase.

    Best tea place in the neighborhood. Hidden gem as it just opened up.

    Best bubble tea flavor in the area :))) I love it very much and ordering everyday for afternoon tea time

    Black sugar ginger milk tea

    Nice selection of bubble tea. You can inform them how much sugar you want and amount of ice.

    While in the area, we stopped by for a drink before hopping on the train. You order from a kiosk,…read morewhich was simple. I had the Mango Pomelo Sago ($8.75) and they put a lot of toppings in there. My cup had a third of sago, which was almost too much. The drink itself is good and refreshing. Also tried some of my friend's Grass Jelly Milk Tea, which was yummy too!

    Wanpo recently opened this location in Brooklyn. This location doesn't get enough foot traffic but…read moreit's worth seeking out if you're nearby. The shop is clean, modern, and never too crowded, which makes it easy to stop in without a long wait. Service is quick, and drinks are made fresh to order. Their menu goes beyond the usual, offering creative Asian-inspired options like red bean jelly, mung bean, starfruit, kumquat, guava, soybean, and hawthorn hibiscus. I tried the Red Bean Jelly Milk Tea, and it delivered, tea was prominent, drink was smooth, fragrant, balanced with the right sweetness. I liked being able to customize the sugar level and personally prefer mine without toppings. I'm excited to work my way through more of their menu. Wanpo might shine even more in a busier area, but for now it's a nice low key option if you're craving well made bubble tea without the usual lines and/or if you're feeling something more unique than your usual tea shop. There's no seating area inside, but there's a park right across from Jmart making a good spot to enjoy your drink.

    As of lately, this has become my more frequented place for boba. Tonight, I was craving the…read morepomegranate burst so I went to give that a try. It comes already with crystal boba which is my favorite. So it's supposed to be a combination of pomegranate juice and jasmine tea. However, I don't really taste the Jasmin tea that much. It was also ordered at 30% sugar but still tastes pretty sweet. All in all, I probably would not get this drink again but there are other drinks that I enjoy a lot

    Before HeyTea came along on 86th street, Jooy Tea Shoppe was top tier. And maybe it still is. Their…read moredrinks - not all but some - are comparable to HeyTea's, especially the matcha and mango drinks. I've been drinking their watermelon slushee often because it's free when you spend over a certain amount on one of the food apps. I get the least amount of sugar and it kind of tastes like watermelon juice. It's very refreshing but I wouldn't send it out to compete with the other popular tea chains. This place not only sells drinks but sandwiches and small bites. Their crispy chicken sandwich is recommendable. The sauce is yummy and the chicken is usually juicy. I usually get the combos so I can takoyaki or curly fries with the sandwich. Recently, I tried their egg waffles, which seems to be a newer offer here. They have very enticing flavors, but it's kind of pricey considering it doesn't come with ice cream, like some other egg waffle shops. I tried the pork floss with seaweed but it tasted too fishy. I also tried the mochi biscoff flavor but the biscoff is not very obvious. It is softer and chewier than the pork floss and seaweed, and I think it's because of the mochi. I prefer my egg waffles crispier
