This a hidden bubble tea shop. I was strolling down Court Street just noticed it towards the end of the block. They make a large variety of different drinks! It's not just tea. They have fruity drinks too. You can specify the toppings you want included/excluded. They offer boba and assorted jellies too! You can Specifying the amount of ice and sugar is an added plus. Worth the walk over to get a refreshing drink!

Vivi Bubble Tea shops are sprouting in other neighborhoods, but this particular Brooklyn Heights location continues to be my favorite! I love their teas with the ability to customize a selection according to one's preference. Vivi is a small, hole in the wall shop and located across from the Regal Cinema and Barnes & Noble. Yes, it can get quite busy/crowded here. Staff are really helpful and efficient. I love the varieties of tea and each time I visit, i try something new. A range of calories are posted based on dairy and sugar content. Helpful since I dislike sweet beverages that can easily become a part of my daily caloric intake. These days, i rarely ask for the tapioca bubbles to be included since I'm a fan of the jelly! Recently, I tried an iced Oolong jelly and it was so refreshing and delicious. As stated, my preference is not sweet and so I select 30% sugar, regular ice and no bubbles (although I've tried teas with bubbles in the past). According to staff, any sugar selection below 30% is 0% and that's too tart (but I've also tried it as such. Get ready to pucker up!) Some of my other favorites were Jasmine Honey, Strawberry and on occasion, their dessert-like milk tea. It serves as a sweet treat for me (loved the taro). I haven't tried their food (yet) but dumplings and ramen dominate the menu. When the weather is colder, their hot lemon-kumquat tea will soothe your soul. It is really good. The iced variety outnumber the hot and I'm so looking forward to expanding my "must try" tea flavor list. I'll keep my punch card (only for the Court Street location) handy and pay Vivi a visit whenever I'm doing a power walk or in the area. (BTW, I think prices are reasonable--large tea about 5 bucks) I'm addicted. Good stuff.

Standard bubble tea shop. They have a lot of flavor options for milk teas, fruit teas, and add ins. $10 minimum if using a card payment.

My go to bubble tea place when ever I do my pole class. Conveniently located a block away from the studio. Would always get the same thing. Peach aloe tea. Only come in large which means more for me hehe. It is really yummy and comes with chia seeds which was pretty interesting since I've never had chia seeds on bubble tea before. They also have punch card so if you plan to visit regularly make sure to get a card!!

It's your typical bubble tea place. It has a variety of mixed bubble tea. You can choose your level of ice and sugar and toppings. Service was as expected. People were friendly and prompt. I was actually expecting them to have fried chicken in there but they didn't. I guess not all vivis carry the same menu.

"There's a Vivi in Brooklyn Heights?" Of course there's a Vivi in Brooklyn Heights. The idea of bubble tea being confined strictly in Asian hoods has clearly graduated to any place that could use a little boba love. Vivi's aggressive expansion into all corners is clearly working for them, and they're busting out all the stops to spread the (tapioca) pearls. People are coming here constantly. I've been here at random times to see it being frequented by all groups of young folks (presumably coming from the theatre across the street). There's no line usually, but a crowd can appear out of nowhere and fast. The counter space doesn't allow for much room, so the staff usually does a solid job of fulfilling orders quickly. It is a narrow hallway that leads into some seating in the back where there is also a bathroom. There's free WiFi and just enough seats for dates and small groups. The staff is not the best when it comes to cleaning that area, so folks best tidy up after they're done using the space. Speaking of the staff, Vivi hasn't gone full assimilation with locals of the hoods they're coming out to, most everyone on the staff is Chinese/Taiwanese with a decent command of English. The drinks themselves are no different than the standard flavors that come at any boba spot. My taro slush with 60% sugar always hits the spot and the passion fruit / kumquat boba is refreshing. They also serve food here, which is a smattering of random things from Japanese ramen to Vietnamese banh mi (#1). In the interest of being completely honest, none of it looks all that appetizing. Not even the dumplings. This is strictly a neighborhood spot that is only convenient when around. Do come here if Brooklyn / Manhattan Chinatown seem too far away, but don't expect it to be better than what's already out there. __________ (#1) They even spent the time to write the menu in proper Viet letters ("bánh mì đc bit") -- I'd like to see how the staff pronounces it.

Lychee Jelly Tea

Had the lychee jelly tea and Taiwanese sausage. It's kinda hard to chew the lychee fruit and the Taiwanese sausage is a bit overpriced. Both taste not bad.

We got 2 taro bible tea and 1 thai milk bubble tea. I like how you can request sugar levels so it's not to sweet and just the way you like it. 3 people in at one time and covid protocols are enforced. $16 for all 3, medium. We enjoyed it and are happy to go back!

3Q Milk Tea
Nadia D.

Always wanted to check this place out. I love milk teas! This place is great! A little small but that okay. Service is fast, efficient, and the prices are great! I chose to get the 3Q Milk Tea...not sure what that was so I politely asked and the lady at the register gladly smiled and laughed, explaining to me what was in it. It tasted GREAT! Honestly the best I've had in a while. Cool spot! :)

You can customize your sugar level!

Just your average bubble tea spot--I've had much much better, but I've also had much worse so 3 stars. I think the worst thing about this place is how tiny it is, when you walk in there's barely any room to stand to order. I had the black milk bubble tea with 30% less sugar. I feel like they didn't give me enough bubbles, but the tea was alright, i like they give patrons the option of putting in less sugar. 70%, 50%, 30% and no sugar--they recommend people to try it regular before reducing sugar, but I find the regular one to be way too sweet, especially with the added sweetness of the bubbles. Try it and see for yourself! Edit: I've changed my mind. This place is one star above my previous 3 star rating. The more you come here the better it tastes. I also think it's dependent on the person making your drink, but I can't get enough bubble tea!

I love this place! My friend got just a regular unsweetened jasmine tea that was delicious and I got the honey jasmine with boba and it was the perfect amount of sweetness . They have such a huge variety of drinks and mixtures with toppings to get here and they even use soy milk which is great, I'll definitely be coming back and I really want to try the earl grey float next

YUM! Grapefruit pulp tea with boba!!
Ethan J.

Very good bubble tea!! I was so excited to walk past this place on a daily basis that when I was able to go in, I was met with such fun comical Asian flare in their decor. The boba tea was great and I have told so many people about going to get the grapefruit pulp tea with boba!!! So freakin' good.

The matcha latte was really smooth and not too sweet, which I liked. Sometimes matcha can taste kind of bitter, but this one was balanced and tasted fresh. It was light and easy to drink, not too heavy. The açaí bowl was probably my favorite. The base was thick and flavorful, not watery at all. The fruit on top tasted fresh and sweet, and the granola added a nice crunch that made everything come together. It felt filling but still healthy, which is exactly what I wanted. The staff were friendly, and my order came out pretty fast, so that was a plus. Overall, everything felt well-made and worth the price. I'd definitely go back again and would recommend it if you're looking for something fresh, healthy, and actually tasty.

One thing I liked about these tablets is that it did have some recommended suggestions of what the best milk and sugar level would be for each drink. I found this drink was a little boring and wish I had ordered a topping like cheese foam in addition to it, but was served in a cute plastic mason jar looking cup. My friend got the Creamy Real Taro Paste Bobo with organic oat milk, milk tea and light ice. I had also selected the option to sample the Taro, but sadly was not offered any. This drink was much more exciting and I really enjoyed the unique flavors and texture when I got to try several sips of it. Again, one thing that really stood out was the variety of selections one could make when customizing their drink. This place looks like it has rotating/seasonal options and an interesting food menu as well and so I do plan on returning!

I ordered a Grilled Pork Banh Mi with medium spicy, and sat in the AC'd store while they prepared my food. Got my hot bag, then went on my way towards Prospect Park. Due to unforeseen events, I ate my Banh Mi about 2 hours later, while it was still warm enough, this banh mi was still absolutely delicious. The sandwich has a slight kick (pretty strong for medium), but it was definitely not overwhelming. Pickled veggies are fresh, crispy, and not overpowering either. The meat was delicious!!! Grilled perfectly, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Bun is also delicious. I don't know what to say, didn't try their pho or boba, but their banh mi is worth a visit, and a return visit. I was super happy that this place didn't opt for the usual mayo bland dressing that most Viet places use, but they kept their sandwich juicy yet not heavy. Great food.

I ordered the Combo which was one Garden and one Summer (with Shrimp). In no time it was ready. I just had Garden Rolls last week at a neighboring competitor (a new spot) which turned out to be disappointing (read my review). Today's rolls were what they're supposed to be: the rice paper was thin and tender to the bite. The Garden Roll included cucumbers and mint (shredded carrots absent. Or maybe it's supposed to be without?) and the Summer roll lined up the shrimp which was visible through the rice paper. Both were delicious. Important key to these rolls is the peanut dipping sauce. Theirs was thick enough but with the ability to dip those yummy rolls with every bite. Satisfied customer and will return.

The grass jelly was very minimal for paucity - total dismay. The entire drink was embedded with lime, lime pulp and fresh pieces of peach fruit. I wanted the supporting cast to be grass jelly and the lead to be Jasmine green tea, but this lime and heavy lime pulp were aggravating annoyance that stole the spotlight. I decribe the amount of herbal jelly topping to be scant, conveying insufficiency or minimalism. There were absolutely nothing alleged special of this peach sauce. I have chosen my default 30% sugar which highly counteracted with the lime. The lime and lime pulp were very strong. My drink tasted intensely sour, albeit refreshing. A lime drink is not my desideratum. Lime is not my interest. The woman cashier/ server Mattie was attentive, friendly welcoming who served with warm hospitality and patience for customer service. She permitted me to take a lot of photos for this review without any complaints as I could not resist this very cute adorable Shiba theme. If I could suggest to the owner for change of this drink ingredients either to remove of this lime and lime pulp, or significantly decreased the amount inputted. If I could, I could. For $0.75 as a paid topping it is my prerogative to have one quarter quantity of the drink size. The full ice melted entirely, but my drink sustained its coolness and was still chilled during my long-haul subway ride home. Disappointedly, there are no takeout drink menus.

I really regret buying them as the onigiris without any sauce like tempura and pork belly immediately fell apart. The wrapping didn't unravel the way it usually does and the rice doesn't stick together like it usually does either. Either way they seemed reallllly un fresh like more than days old. Even when I buy onigiris and save them for 2 days later they never come out looking like this. So surprised at this poor execution. Taste wasn't any better either for any of the onigiri I bought. Microwaving it helped it be better in terms of the rice not being as hard but still really hard. I would not get this again or recommend getting this. The rest of the shop seemed fine though, there were sales and samples of good assortment of goodies!
