    Blue Galaxy with tapioca  (only available in large), passion fruit with mango popping bubbles
    Wendy P.

    Cool down with a fun refreshing drink. Or if you're feeling hungry, come get some savory snacks like the popcorn chicken, takoyaki, or cheese hotdog. While there is limited seating, especially depending on the time of day (high school nearby), stop by and treat yourself. Conveniently located near the 1 train station and M23 bus stop.

    Milk tea boba!

    We came here on a cloudy Saturday with no expectations. We've been to Vivi before and had enjoyed their drinks and we wanted a snack. We arrived in the afternoon to a crowded area. As we patiently waited in line, we perused the menu. I initially asked if there was a student discount and the cashier didn't seem to understand and seemed irritated by my question. That's fine, I ordered a large taro milk tea with bubbles and 30% sugar, my usual. The line for drinks was really backed up and it only looked like one person was doing the drinks. We waited for about a full ten minutes, but given the crowdedness it was still fine. The waiting area is very cramped so I would avoid during the busier hours. When I finally received my drink, there were a lot of bubbles, which was awesome. The drink was still too sweet for my liking, I'm wondering if they used Lactaid milk. It was more sweet than creamy as I would have expected. Overall: generic bubble tea, not much pizzazz or fanfare to it. Service isn't great.

    Coconut milk tea with boba

    Honestly not a fan of the service or the design/layout of this Vivi store. Not much seating and the tables were sticky! Service is nonexistent and drinks are subpar. I'd rather walk to Boba Guys near Washington Square Park or splurge on Argo tea, which is probably healthier and near Union Square.

    good selection

    Gotta be honest, it was ok, but just ok. Might be because I'm from California and there are about a hundred boba places on every corner so I'm used to really good tea drinks, but the drinks we had were just average. My wife got the honeydew milk tea, which had a weird liquid to powder ratio and tasted too thick, and I had the tiramisu slush, which didn't really taste much like anything at all, a little too light on the flavor. Maybe it was just this one place or one day, but I'd pass and try somewhere else next time.

    The outside view...

    It is a long wait as only 1 person makes the drinks so it loses a star. Parking in that area is also tough. The three of us enjoyed the drinks. 3.5 /5 if you love Bubble tea and want a place that isn't a chain. 2.5 out 5 if you don't like bubble tea.

    I got the oolong milk tea here yesterday and thought it was just okay. It had too much of the milky taste and lacked in the tea flavor. The other times I've had Vivi were better.

    I went to Vivi with my friend this past weekend because we were craving something good to drink and were a little hungry; bubble tea is always the answer in those situations! The Flatiron location was somewhat small, like the other locations, but we were able to get a seat, which was fortunate because golly were they popular! There was a constant line the entire time we were there. I ordered a hot chocoberry cookie bubble tea and my friend got the basic black milk tea, hot, with bubbles and no sugar. The black milk tea tasted great. Mine was interesting, to say the least. The flavor was good, but I wasn't expecting or didn't realize there would be cookie chunks in it that quickly became soggy. It was tasty but a little weird. The bubbles in both drinks were great; a little soft and delicious with a slight chew. I had a relatively good experience here; what I drank was tasty. The service was pretty good but I initially ordered a moo milk tea which apparently you cannot get hot, which I don't understand. Anyway, 4 stars for good bubble tea and many options!

    If you don't know, now you know!

    Decent boba spot! They offer the basics plus some fun flavors like Tiramisu Milk Tea! Service was fast, they had 4 baristas holding down the place.

    This is a really large Vivi with seating inside as well. I ordered my usual Peach pulp tea with aloe in it, and it tasted great as usual! This place accepts cards and there was no minimum amount or drink you needed for it. I was really surprised to see on the menu for this Vivi included real food besides just drinks. It had ramen and some other snacks, which I saw some customers eating. Might try some of these next time I am around the area again!

    I have put few picture as they have some specials. Good for bubble teas and I got jasmine ice tea without bubbles. Normally I drink it with bubbles but I wasn't feeling well I just wanted something to drink so I got honey jasmine tea. Place is pretty small and packed. Around evening it was packed and noisy cuz all the school kids were here. Basically it is good for bubble tea. I tried the jasmine and it is really great.

    Smallish shop. My friend pointed out the sushi, and then my eyes got huge when I saw bubble tea. Its hard to find good bubble tea around 23rd st so this store was a blessing. It has the regular classic choices for bubble tea. I went with taro, my favorite since I was younger. My friend went on a sushi stampede. The individual a la carte pieces are cheap so you can mix and match. They also have small seaweed salads. The sushi was a delightfully fresh and tasty. Great choices for about a dollar a piece. Fantastic. Thanks for the bubble tea and sushi. Thumbs up.

    3Q- Black milk tea w/ tapioca, pudding, & herbal jelly
    Justine S.

    Passed by this place as I was strolling through Chelsea. Very small stop & go type of shop, not too much room to sit & chat. I wanted the roast milk tea but they ran out so I ended up ordering the "3Q" which is black milk tea with tapioca, pudding, & herbal jelly. Overall it was good, nothing too special. I like my milk tea very strong & not sugary and it wasn't too sweet without me having to ask for less sugar which I liked. Like most places, you can adjust sugar and ice level but I always like to try the original first. In addition, I also saw that they offer food options such as dumplings, sushi, ramen, etc.

They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright.

The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety!

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

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!

Service was friendly and the line moved quickly. Prices are typical for midtown NYC, but all the reward app perks make it more reasonable. I will definitely be back to earn more rewards and try more of their pastries.
