This is my childhood favorite bubble tea spot. Been going here religiously since middle school!!! Love all the flavor options, and the price was super affordable ($5) Highly recommend the regular milk tea (earl gray) Quick service, beautiful interior to hang out with friends. Cash is preferred because the card minimum is $10. read more

They have the best popcorn chicken, no matter how many good ones I've tried. Vivi's is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I usually stick to the chicken, but the drinks seem fine if that's your thing. Service is nice, and there's indoor seating plus a bench outside if you just want to chill. Definitely my convenient go-to whenever I'm craving popcorn chicken! read more

Been going here since it opened they are always so nice ! And the drinks and food are amazing also not to mention the wide variety of options I love the popcorn chicken and the Oreo slush read more

The place is suitable to stay for small snack. The bubble tea was great. Tapioca balls were fragile. Popcorn chicken taste delicious. Had multiple flavours to choose. Spicy one is my preference. Came out hot. Best to eat immediately, to taste the actual flavour. read more

One of my favorite places to have bubble tea. Staff are nice and friendly. Highly recommend read more

Heads up! The store does have a minimum of $10 purchase to use card as payment or you'll be charged an extra 50¢ ! It's nothing crazy, but it's makes the ordering experience smoother if you're aware. I tried the takoyaki, which to my surprise was very tasty and perfect for two! Overall, the aesthetic was very welcoming and cute with the menu providing a variety of different drinks and snacks to choose from read more

No matter how many other popcorn chicken I try, I'm always coming back for Vivi's. Their popcorn chicken is just so juicy and tender, I feel like I have yet to find another establishment that can compare. The chicken is made to order so it is fresh and hot, but do expect to wait a while. I personally only ever go for the garlic flavor (essentially just garlic powder, I believe) but there are other flavors to choose from. I get their drinks from time to time but their drinks are pretty standard. read more

We need more bubble tea places open during these tough times of covid. Does anyone agree that bubble tea is an essential business lol? Anyway, this location has seem to get things right by placing a fixed schedule. I think Kung fu tea across the street should take notes. Their hrs are not consistent. I usually order the flavored teas because I don't do milk. This location has vastly improved from my 1st experience last yr. The bubbles are chewy and on pt lately and I'm loving it. They ask you kindly to order for pickup on uber eats or call them to do a phone order. Picking up orders can be tricky when there is a crowd. Since there's only one person distributing drinks, you must be patient. The no contact thing is great and all but, if you place a phone order, they have to take your method of payment which defeats its purpose IMHO. I posted a photo of their "covid hrs" so, your welcome! Remember to social distance and stay 6 ft away from everyone. And support your local businesses! read more

Vivi Bubble Tea - "Covid-19" hrs -- must order on ubereats or do a phone order to avoid contact. (I would call them to confirm if they are open) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love vivi's in general and this place is no different. Clean and it is more spacious than the 8th avenue one. The one in 8th ave doesn't have seating while this does. It is small but it's clean and dainty. I highly recommend Thai iced tea it's the drink I always and only get from vivis. Might be a bit sweeter than the other thinks. read more

I am a lover of all bubble tea places but it's true some are more authentic than others when it comes to taste. Vivi I find has more fruit flavors and dessert like options. Whereas other tea places focus on mixing up the base tea flavors with fruity options. Again, a fan of both but know what you're into before ordering. Just saying. I got the Thai Milk Tea on this visit, hot beverage for a brisk evening. It was really good, more on the sweeter side. It totally reminded me of a Thai Iced without ice. Yum. My sister and I frequent these establishments often and know what we like. Skip the chocolate choco or chocolate shake like drink, it's not quite it's name. Definitely not the Ice Cream parlor kind. Stick to the fruity Classics or any of the black or Green tea varieties. U can't go wrong with those. read more

My childhood friend and I went to Vivi for some bubble teas. Unfortunately, the tea didn't meet our standard.* We ordered a cup of the longan tea to share. As my friend stated, it tasted like they dumped the whole container of syrup in the cup and added 10% hot water. I asked the cashier if I can purchase a cup of hot water. She asked me to repeat that request. When I did, she turned to her co-worker; they shrugged and quoted me $1. Interesting. Their tea is full of sugar hence they charge you $1 to dilute it. My friend urged me to give this place one star when I write this review. However, I'm a rebel without a cause. I give this place two stars because I love how cute the décor is. * We've tried most of the bubble teas shops on 86th street. Most of them are in business; however, some weren't so lucky. read more

Updated: 1/2019 While Vivi tries their hands at the infamous #brownsugarbobamilk however their attempt failed miserably. They don't make it with pre-cooked boba in brown sugar... rather, they use regular boba AND then add the brown sugar syrup... nope. So what you end up with... is just boba with some sugary syrup and lots of milk. #thankyounext read more

I'm never going back to this place ever so I don't really care if they stop taking my orders or block my number. If the manager or the boss of this joint wants to check it was today at 8/1, 2 rude females, the one who picked up my phone order is really incompetent. No offense. The fact she called me to confirm my order is not the problem. It's nice of her to do so and the right thing to do if she forgot but then she got my boyfriend to call me also to confirm the order. So a total of 3 phone calls while i repeated my order about 10 times the same way (3x the first one and twice on the other other two phone calls, she still ended up getting my order wrong. LOL! Also, when someone pays with a credit card and you swiped, you give them back the credit card right away. You don't hold their credit card for the whole duration until they leave. Because you can be suspected of copying their credit card information. Instead of being apologetic after I called to inform her that she got my order wrong, she gave the phone to another girl who never even spoke to us once to say that my boyfriend changed the order last minute which he didn't. It would've been fine if you got it wrong. But I found it hilarious that you still got my order wrong after a call back and then wasn't apologetic. read more

While strolling around 86th Street and craving bubble tea, decided to stop by this little vivi bubble tea place. It didn't look very crowded when I went in but I think there was 3 huge orders before me because it took forever for me to get a drink. I went for a Thai tea with Bubba. Tea wasn't ultra sweet but still taste like Thai tea. Bubba was good. Perfectly al dente. I just wish they put more. Over$5 for a medium drink was a bit much. Service was ok. I seems like they hire high school kids or they don't pay their employee much lol read more

Came by to grab some drinks and popcorn chicken with my boyfriend on a Tuesday night around 8:30. I ordered a green tea yakult with lychee jelly and my boyfriend ordered the matcha red bean! We also got the curry popcorn chicken as a snack. As a heads up, the wait can be a bit long here. Typically the popcorn chicken does take some time to make but I came by once just for drinks and I still had to wait a while. My drink was good and refreshing for a hot summer day! My boyfriend enjoyed his drink too. Our popcorn chicken didn't taste like curry though but it was still pretty tender and yummy. I wish they had seasoned it more but I enjoyed it! Not the best bubble tea spot I've had but a nice spot for drinks and a snack! read more

Its been a while since I last ordered bubble tea with regular sugar and usually I can tell whether it's good milk tea or bad by how much flavor it has without sugar. With normal sugar it tastes just as delicious as I remember it to be :3. I had the 3Q BOGO thanks to the grand opening special. The herbal jelly, bubbles, and pudding were all bouncy, smooth, tasty & in just the right amounts. I can't wait to try their popcorn chicken in the future because that's the one thing KFT across the street doesn't have! The store itself is very cute and reminds me of a sanrio princess theme. Pinks and whites everywhere, with two seater tables and a bench by the entrance. Overall, the store itself is small and probably fits 20 people max. Hopefully with Vivis, competition can be fierce and lower bubble tea prices or spice up what each shop has to offer ;). PS no wifi read more

I love coming here to grab a drink if I'm in a mood for something fruity. They also have a lot of Taiwanese snacks that are for a good price! I hope they're able to keep the price point! They're super fast too and have a punch card here! FYI - There is a minimum charge for credit card usages. read more

Vivi Bubble Tea - wrong order was delivered...who the hell is demi. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I normally order from here off of Uber. For my latest order I got a coffee jelly milk tea and lychee jelly tea. Coffee jelly didn't have any coffee jelly but the usual jelly you get when ordering fruit teas. The lychee jelly tea that I paid 7.50 for was straight up water, they didn't add any sugar to it even though I never specified no sugar. read more

I know of vivi bubble tea and I remember when there wasn't many vivi - the only one I saw at the time was at Elizabeth's street.(I'm not that old...just I was there when the bubble tea scene wasn't as big lol) I remember I didn't wanna go in to Vivi's since all the staff were female and they were busy taking photos of themselves...how...nice...likely would mess up my order .... (do I sound mean? ) Anyways, I saw how in Flushing the bubble tea places were numerous and then they started to come to Brooklyn - esp Bensonhurst. Anyways, decided to go to vivi's today since I wanted to get myself some bubble tea or drink (and I'm not a bubble tea person since I don't like tapioca and usually just go for fruit teas). I also wanted to get their popcorn chicken! (for my baby sis and myself). The drink I got was the Earl Grey Float (had no idea what it was but it seems interesting). So I ordered that and two orders of salt & pepper popcorn chicken. The orders came out pretty timely and didn't have to wait that long. My drink came out first and then the two orders did. The drink was pretty good - it wasn't sweet and thankfully it wasn't! Another reason I don't drink bubble tea or w/e is that they tend to make it sweet - catering to the younger individuals. But I guess cause it's Earl Grey that's why?it wasn't sweet. Either way - it wasn't sweet or too sweet and the form was said to be steamed milk but it tasted like they put something else as well. I don't know what it was but my sister liked that part. I didn't dislike it - since I can see myself ordering this drink again. Again super happy it wasn't sweet - maybe next time I'll try the Jasmine tea float. For the popcorn chicken! Again, happy they did it right! It wasn't dry and tasted like how it was supposed to. It was piping hot when we got it and it was so moist. I'm not sure if there's a place around Bensonhurst that has a good popcorn chicken place but no need to worry since Vivi is there. I just wished that there were more seats since I wanted to enjoy the drink and food with my baby sister. But all is good - no rude staff behind the counter, no long wait and clean. Happy there's a vivi's near me since I know there's another one at 86th st. near the N train. read more

So many bubble tea shops but this shop and their staff just aren't the right ones. The workers aren't friendly and their bubbles (boba) weren't good at all when I went. The bubbles weren't cooked properly; not fully cooked. Just another bubble tea shop with bad service. You can find a better place elsewhere. read more

Always came here for their popcorn chicken, the taste is great but lately the chicken pieces are so big, wish it was more bite sized

Super stoked that my favorite popcorn chicken place opened near my house. Now I don't have to drive that far just to satisfy a craving. Bubble tea here is decent- but they got rid or revamped my favorite drink- green apple yogurt. Now I don't even think they have a green apple option for their "yaqualt" drinks. No biggie - I religiously only would get the popcorn chicken anyways, since my favorite bbtea is across the street. Expect at least a 10 minute wait - fairly normal if you've been to the other locations. They make them fresh and always tastes so good. They have several different flavors. My go to has always been the salt and pepper, spicy and garlic. Quick and good snack, each order of popcorn chicken comes out to about 4$ (including tax). **THEY TAKE CARD (w/ a minimum)** - even better - other vivis dont. read more

Honestly not the best service nor the cleanest Vivis location I've been to but it satisfies any popcorn chicken cravings I get when I'm in Bensonhurst. It's relatively small so not a great setting for groups and you're better off grabbing and going. This place is mediocre at best. read more

Happy new year!! They finally opened up a Vivi Bubble Tea within walking distance from my house! Came here after lunch nearby since they're having a BOGO deal on 5 of their drinks to celebrate their grand opening. I tried all 5 flavors and my favorite is still my go-to, the 3Q, which has tapioca, grass jelly, and pudding. I think they made it better here than they did at the Chinatown location. The one I had in Chinatown was too bland while the one here had the right amount of sweetness. The Red moo milk and Passionfruit QQ were also good but I didn't really like the Earl grey and Peach ice jelly. I also tried the Basil popcorn chicken and it was good. It's not as crispy as the one at Chicken V a couple of blocks away but I think the meat here tasted better. The place looks really cute and sort of looks like a house from the outside. The cashier was really nice but service was a big problem. It took us like 20 mins to get our drinks after we ordered because they were severely understaffed. I don't blame them since they just opened and since it's the first day of the new year. Hopefully they manage to fix this asap. Will be back :) read more

Vivi Bubble Tea - 3Q - Bubble Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They have good popcorn chicken. My go to flavor is the salt & pepper. I had the spicy one today and I didn't like it as much. They have Taiwanese bbq sausages. It's sweet and savory. They're 1 for $2 or 3 for $5. They're pretty good. They also have fries, corn dogs and etc snacks. I got their galaxy drink and it was gross at first, but then I remembered I was supposed to mix it. After mixing the drink, it was quite refreshing and delicious. I like their kumquat jelly drink. It's great for your throat! On the downside, they seemed understaffed. Sometimes the wait can be a little long. The last few times I came here there was only 1 staff managing the front. read more

Not a Vivi regular but i think i am a fan now. It was closed to closing time and i was in the mood for some cold drinks so i went here. Staffs were very friendly and did not rush me out even tho it was already 10pm. Got myself medium peach tea jelly drink with less ice and bubble. It was perfect, just a tad sweet to my liking. And yeap, they made it with little ice as possible. Glad that this location is much cleaner than the one on 8th avenue. Next time i def want to get their Blue Galaxy drink. read more

If I can give it 0 stars I would. Only place open near me for bubble tea and had a craving. I saw a line and waited at the back, little did I know we had to call in to order. Thanks Vivi for putting a sign big enough for people to see//ends sarcasm. I called and line was busy, called again put in my order for three drinks and dude said 15 mins. Yeah 15 mins my butt. After everyone who was there before me got their orders I proceeded to go up to counter and asked how much longer cause I waited over 40 mins for 3 drinks. It should take 3 mins to make a drink max. Guy asked what I ordered, I told him two milk tea and a taro and he goes to the back and picks up my drink. So my drinks were sitting there the whole time!!! WTF SERIOUSLY DUDE. How you not call out orders or tell people on the phone that you gotta go up and ask about the drinks. My drinks would have been sitting there all day if I didn't ask. A thanks Vivi, worse service ever, how about hire extra people who can put orders together. Never again am I going back to this location. No organization or leadership. Oh not to say the ice in my drink was already melted and drink diluted and not even all full. read more

Ordered a basic boba milk tea and popcorn chicken and didn't get it for the longest time after the three orders after me got their drinks and food...for context the orders after me were multiple drinks with popcorn chicken and takoyaki as well but they all got taken care of before me. I'm sure the cashier person just forgot about me but I watched as my boba got made first and just chilled on the counter while everyone got their drinks and earlier popcorn chicken despite ordering AFTER me. By the time I got my drink (3 orders later), all the ice had MELTED. Think about being excited to take a sip of a refreshing cold drink on a summer day to find that it is room temperature!!! I probs will go to another location instead :(. I also thought that Vivis would take more precaution and wear food service gloves while prepping drinks during Covid-19...but naw.... read more

It's hard to find a spot during covid and this place is open pretty late which is the new normal.

Got honey jasmine medium tea which was $3.75 and they charged me extra .50c for tapioca. My boyfriend got passion fruit QQ and it was $3.75. It just makes no sense, his tea had tapioca included on top of other things yet it costs less than my tea. I usually go to the bay parkway location and they have never charged me extra for tapioca. They also had no AC or fans on in 90degree weather. read more

Best bubble tea shop by far!! I had the tiramisu and mango slush yesterday. It was so good. You could taste both the chocolate and coffee evenly. It was nicely served and decorated. The girls inside are very beautiful and nice. inside the shop it is nicely decorated and spacious compare to others I have been in. Good for a quick snack place. The mago slush was sweet enough and frozen. Wish I lived in Brooklyn to go everyday. read more

Your typical bubble tea place. This place is fairly new to the area but there are better stores in the surrounding. Compared to KFT and YaYas, this place has less amount of seats, pricing-wise is relatively the same for bubble black tea. However, this place doesn't have many options of food to choose from. They have the fried popcorn chicken and another popular item. read more

Recently, I ordered two drinks and two appetizers. I asked for half sugar for both the flaming brown sugar milk tea, and oreo creme brulee milk tea, but they are still sweet. I also tried their BBQ sausage and garlic popcorn sausage and they werent that great either. I have tasted better. read more

Even though Vivi Bubble Tea is all over NYC, I have never tried it. Since a new branch is now opened in my neighborhood, I made a pit stop to warm up while shopping in the area. The store is cute in its design even though it's small. The chairs were comfortable, although the bench seating wasn't. There was only one person working the front and when a few patrons come in, it creates a backlog since she stops taking orders to make the drinks. There is another guy in the back making food orders. I ordered a hot Japanese Matcha Milk Tea with bubbles. I like that it came in this cute and durable cup and it was actually quite good. It had a milky and creamy texture but not too thick or powdery. I can taste the matcha flavor without it being too bitter. A solid cup overall. Next time, I may give the popcorn chicken a try. It seems pretty good. This place may give Kung Fu Tea some solid competition! read more

It seems like everyday a new bubble tea shop opens on 86st. While this location is a bit of a walk from where I live, it's the only Vivi's near me (besides one in Staten Island that I go to often). The storefront is cute enough and looks like hello kitty vomited pink everywhere. Nevertheless, the drinks are delicious albeit a bit pricey. My favorite go-to's are the 3Q milk tea (its basically a milk tea with tapioca, grass jelly, and pudding) and the earl gray float (earl gray tea with this foamy white cream cheese like topping). Anyways, they charge around 0.50c for every topping so make note of that when you're ordering. I haven't ordered any "food" from Vivi's yet, once I do I'll update this review! read more

Black moo drink? Not worth it. Glass jelly and bubble and lactose free milk. I wanted to get the hot version but the lady was too lazy to warm/heat up the milk. The Lactaid Series is not worth it. Try something else. Service is so-so at this location. read more
