★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1It was not good. The bubble teas are bland. Taste like water to be honest.Location: It is located along 96th st. Few seatings inside with a cute bear.Service: He was nice and very attentive.Food: I ordered classic tea and taro.. both of them taste like water to be honest. I don’t taste any taro or milk tea. It was so sad. The boba was okay. Little bit hard already.Price rating: I paid 17 bucks for 2 large bubble teas with mount sinai discount.
August 06 · Mark Nowell1.0 ★☆☆☆☆ An Absolute Scam - The Worst Bubble Tea I've Ever HadI rarely write reviews this scathing, but this establishment deserves every single critical word. This wasn't just a bad experience; it was a complete and utter scam that insults the very idea of what bubble tea should be.My wife and I, avid bubble tea lovers, were looking for a treat. Google Maps, in its infinite wisdom, suggested this dump with a seemingly impressive 4.3-star rating. I now believe those stars are as artificial as the ingredients in their so-called "drinks."My wife ordered a strawberry tea that tasted like the runoff from a cheap fruit yogurt mixed with tap water. I got the mango tea, and it was as if they emptied a packet of discount "fruit drink" powder into a cup and called it a day. There was no trace of milk, creaminess, or any natural flavor—everything we love about good boba was completely absent. This wasn't subpar; it was a concentrated, watery GARBAGE.The "tapioca" pearls were the final insult. They weren't the soft, chewy, sweet balls we know. They were stale, rubbery, flavorless blobs that felt like they'd been sitting in a vat for a week.For this chemical assault on our taste buds, we were robbed of TWENTY DOLLARS. This isn't a price point; it's daylight robbery.To crown this circus of incompetence, the staff member decided our transaction was the perfect time for a personal phone call on speakerphone. We had to stand there and wait while she finished her conversation, with zero acknowledgment or apology. The sheer disrespect and unprofessionalism were the perfect cherry on top of this disgusting sundae.Verdict: The absolute WORST BUBBLE TEA EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. A place that murders any love for the drink, poisons you with chemicals, and spits in your face with their service. One star is infinitely too generous. AVOID THIS TRAP FOR FOOLS AT ALL COSTS.
September 01 · DESMONT9/10. The mango milk tea and strawberry milk tea were amazing. I prefer the strawberry over mango but both were good. Very fast and great service. There are only three tables and there weren't many people when we were there. There isn't a bathroom so it's a little inconvenient for people who want to sit and drink and stay there for a while.
May 19 · JaeHee KwakThe boba teas are entirely customizable in terms of flavor, level of sweetness and choice of toppings.Because the cups have a snap-on cover (and not a plastic seal as in other boba shops), contents may leak if taking things to go.
May 08 · Augusto PaulinoThe owner is so sweet and you can really tell she cares about her business and store. She provides a rewards system where you buy 10 drinks and get the next one for free but the first time we went and bought 2 drinks, she gave out 2 extra punches on the card. She’s very sweet and offered a Large size instead of medium which is what we ordered.
