    the outside of a restaurant
    Phil H.

    This bubble tea chain seems to be everywhere I look nowadays. I think there are like 30 of them in the city. This one on 14th street is pretty much the same as all the rest. Same look and feel. Same menu featuring all kinds of bubble teas, along with some food items like popcorn chicken. I've only had the bubble teas from here as they have a nice variety and do a good job with them. Some good deals on them too. Not a meat eater so I avoid the chicken here. Not sure I would eat chicken from a bubble tea spot anyway.

    As a student this place is a game changer, not only are the drinks super good and very flavorful, but the staff allows you to get a large bubble tea for the price of a medium with a student id. Great option if you're craving bubble tea and i personally recommend the Oreo crème brûlée. The seating area is nice and this place is great to go with friends.

    Another decent boba tea place in East Village. Fun customer service and very clean inside. Ordered the Vivi Bubble Milk Tea, flaming Brown Sugar Milk tea, and Thai Milk Tea. All 3 had the perfect amount of sugar and tea flavor. Price was on par with Kung Ku Tea and not as busy. For sure will be back.

    A quick afternoon stop always 10 stars nothing less. As far as the service I'm not sure the cashier said hi the interaction was fast . No indoor seating but the bubble tea was great

    This area is bound to meet all your bubble tea needs (with GongCha and PaTea being right across the street). That being said, the major thing Vivi's has going for it are its discounts and prices. They're a bit easier on the wallet compared to GongCha. Also Vivi's milk tea is easy on those who are lactose intolerant (in my experience).

    Taro Milk Tea
    Huda S.

    Came in with some friends after a late-night dinner. I took a look at the very large menu and decided to go with a Taro Milk Tea with Soymilk. I have been a fan of taro milk tea for quite some time, but I had never personally had from ViVi. The employee behind the counter wasn't particularly friendly while he took my order. I paid a little under $5 for a medium, which is around average bubble tea pricing. My tea was ready in about 5 minutes, and I was excited to try it. I was overall really disappointed with it. Firstly, I did not find the taro flavor to be strong at all. Secondly, I was asked about sugar level, and made clear that normal, or 100% was fine. However, I found that it wasn't very sweet at all. Overall, with my tea quality and mediocre customer service, I probably wouldn't come back. I had originally stopped in due to the late hour that I was out and many other locations being closed. There are plenty of other bubble tea locations in this area of NY.

    The worst worst viv popcorn chicken ever!!!! That 2 star is for bubble tea. Bubble tea taste normal and average!!!

    Garlic Popcorn Chicken
    Alice L.

    Got the garlic popcorn chicken from here and it was alright, not as good as the chicken from the location on 3rd ave 9th street Popcorn Chicken

    I am enamored ViVi's mango green tea $3.50 which I usually opt without tapioca black pearls or jelly, but I always request for a towering amount of ice. Yes, Sally W. a loyalty punch card is available upon request only and interchangeable usage at ViVi's locations. The loyalty punch card also serves as a business card. Minimal seating is available as my goal was to rest momentarily away from the fast-pace daily grind, daily deal, daily life's intake. A moment of phlegmatic was absorbed. Service is average. Note: No restroom facility is available on premise since seating is under twenty and not required by law.

    Brown sugar milk tea
    Jessica F.

    I was disappointed when i received my drink because it didn't taste anything like it's name. I've had many brown sugar milk teas before and this was by far my least favorite. It was much more milky than anything else & simply did not look like the posted pictures. Taste is subjective so dont write this place off with my opinion alone but it just wasn't for me.

    Passion Fruit Tea
    Olivia G.

    Outstanding everytime i come!! Everytime i visit New York i make it a chance to come and get a drink. It is the perfect amount of sweetness!

    March 1 /2020 I paid $5.44 just a little Popcorn Chicken. Before they give a lot. Now they are giving less and less. Boooooo

I've never been to a yogurt store that makes you pay a set price first before selecting toppings, which also means toppings are limited based on the yogurt size (something I only realized later after looking at a picture I took in the store). The employee who was supposed to help me immediately gave me attitude, as if I was supposed to already know all the "rules" of the store. I said nothing that would have warranted that reaction -- I simply went over to the display. At the register, I scanned my rewards app then couldn't find the card reader to pay. After about 20 seconds, I realized it was sitting on top of a case of water bottles (pictured). The topping limit signage was also placed off to the side of the register where customers wouldn't naturally see it -- it wasn't even on my side and was partially blocked. I only found this out when I went up to the counter after I got my yogurt. While choosing toppings, I asked how many I was allowed, and she responded, "How many toppings do you think you're supposed to choose?" with a noticeably rude tone. When I chose cookie dough as my fourth topping, she only gave me a few pieces, dropped another on the counter (pictured), and ignored it. The cookie dough topping was stale too. I also noticed she did not seem to treat other customers the same way. I eventually went back to the register - I asked her if the yogurt was actually strawberry matcha because it tasted like vanilla. I also asked about her rudeness because I genuinely didn't understand why I was being treated that way for asking simple questions. She said the information was "on the wall," even though it was difficult to see. I actually ended up apologizing earlier because she made me feel like I was burdening her. The only personable thing she said the entire interaction was that I didn't need to apologize, but the tone still felt unfriendly. Two customers sitting nearby ended up leaving without ordering. I understand it was Super Bowl Sunday and she appeared to be working alone, which may have contributed to stress. Still, I left feeling extremely shaken and even spilled yogurt on my jacket afterward. I would not return to this location. I used to come to this location sometimes, but after this experience -- and a previous visit where I ordered a tea and received very little -- I would not return.

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.

I needed a sweet pick-me-up after missing a train home. While the ice cream flavors looked interesting, I opted for a blue coconut iced matcha latte instead. Aside from the striking visuals, the drink tasted great. There was sweetness from the matcha and the coconut but not super overtly sugary. I also got a box of four donuts. They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!
