It’s a nice little place close by, service is good and fast. Quiet. The selection of drinks isn’t as varied as in other places but what they have tastes pretty good. I don’t usually sit inside for long but it seems like it’s pretty clean to sit back and use your laptop to do some quiet web surfing. The dessert menu is also VERY limited but overall it’s a good little corner to pick up a tea at.

PINKBOBAA! The tapioca was chewy and colorful. the interior was small but gave off an nice atmosphere of a café. I tried the Passion fruit Tea with tapioca and it was delicious. I think the drink is nice in cold or warm weather. Also, there are seats in the interior so you can read, or do work while drinking tea.

Love-love-love DrinkTea. They make the best Taro milk tea hot or cold. Even my 2 years old loves it :) Perfect place to do some work quietly too when I don’t want to stay at home.

This place is spacious, good for lounging. It was very difficult to locate the menu. The cashier noticed that and gestured my attention to this small monitor with limited drinks. The menu was in Chinese and the cashier only spoke Mandarin(struggled with English). The Thai Iced Tea was full of ice, not to mention it wasn’t good either.

This is probably the most spacious bubble tea spot in the neighborhood. They have seating inside. I had the medium classic bubble milk tea($ 3). I like it a lot. You can taste the distinct flavor of the tea and the milk they use is not creamy, so the drink was very light and refreshing. Some places make the bubble tea too milky, which I’m not a fan. The bubbles were nice and soft, not too hard or mushy.

This place looks nice and modern, a good change of scenery for a bubble tea place. Ordered passion fruit, The drink were okay could use more flavor but the staff was friendly. Would come back to try something else

Went to check out this place after craving a bubble tea(had a grudge for this place after it replaced the previous Polish store, but I was desperate). The place has a modern feel to it, which was a plus. When I walked in I tried looking at the prices at the electronic billboards on the walls but they only showed pictures of the drinks rather than the name or price. That’s when the girl behind the counter pointed out the ipads that displayed the menu, amazing touch! The prices were reasonable and a lot of interesting flavors, nothing too overwhelming. I ordered a milk tea with bubbles and a kumquat and lemon juice. Both drinks were outstanding and well worth the trip. I also love the way you are able to use the ipad when paying with a card. This was without a doubt a neat and modern transaction! If you’re taking a stroll on 8th avenue, I would highly reccommend this place as it is more modern and cleaner than most other bubble tea areas.

I’ve had this franchises’ drinks over at the East Broadway Manhattan Chinatown location a few months back. What makes Drink Tea’s drinks unique is that they offer red bubbles instead of the tradition black tapioca bubbles. My overall impression of the bubble milk tea that I purchased in Manhattan is that the baristas could’ve made it better. It was tasteless. Bubbles were hard. Yadda yadda yadda. The red bubbles tasted no different than the black ones. Only physical difference is the red 3 used. Hey, bubble tea isn’t healthy to begin with. After about an half an hour biking through Brooklyn with my friend, we stumbled upon this place. I decided to pick something up to drink because it was a hot 90 degree + summer afternoon. I settled for just the«mango juice» since they were doing a promotion for it and it was advertised on the menu screens. As sip as I order, the barista quickly whipped out the artificial mango container. Yuck. Would I be back? Probably not.

This visit was somewhat improvement on staff part. Much more hygienic and staff can communicate in English. The establishment and drinks itself still remained the same since last visit. In my last review I didn’t talk about the seating. It can maybe sit like10 people max with not a lot of space for work if you need a lot of space. I do wish though that they can open a guest WiFi so people can sit there and do work. Music… music choice is not bad but the speakers are so horrible and cheap sounding. since most people don’t go to bubble tea stores for music this isn’t really a big deal But if you were to sit there for an hour to kill time it would kind of give you a headache.

A wonderful place for some authentic Asian drinks with a modern influence. I love this place, its ingenuity, and its selection. The menu is only on an iPad, which is bilingual, both in English and Chinese. They have special on their electronic boards. This place has a wonderful, lively ambiance. I wasn’t in the mood for anything crazy, so I just ordered a bubble milk tea. I don’t know what they put in it, but it was delicious. The tea itself was excellent, which great flavors and wonderful texture. The tapioca added to the fun. I had also ordered a pear tea, which was interesting, very fruity, not too sweet. It wasn’t my favorite, but they pulled off a strange, but successful drink. The seats are small, but they look out onto the busy street.

I’ve been here twice. The service could have been better. About 3 girls just standing there looking at you to order. Ask them a question and they seem kind of clueless. I had the hot almond milk tea. I loved it. It was super sweet and super creamy. Perfect for cold days. They need more of a selection. Or a better menu explaining what everything is.

After a long walk from the subway station to our destination, my sister and I came across this little café. It looks more modern than the typical Asian café around this part of 8th avenue. The menu was on their store iPad. I ordered a pudding drinkkachino and my sister ordered the ice rice. My drink had flan flavored pudding on top of some white stuff. I think the cashier said its panna cotta but didn’t taste like it to me. The ice rice is a cold dessert with steam coming out which was pretty unique ! My sister said it was too sweet like plain sugar water. The ingredient were very vibrant except she said raisins doesn’t really match. The whole time we sat there this annoying bug kept flying near us… Looked like a spider with wings

Pink Tapioca?! I’m interested! A new bubble tea emerged on 8th Avenue — Brooklyn. Right after my dumpling snack across the street, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Passion Juice with Tapioca. I love the fact that they allow you to customize the level of sugar and ice here, too. The drink, unfortunately, was not what I expected. The passionfruit taste was very bland and had an unpleasant aftertaste. Now, I am a big fan of Passionfruit Bubble Tea drinks and I say so for sure that it’s not worth ordering compared to other places I have tried. I see that they have a different varieties of Hong Kong Style drinks such as the Lemon Tea and Taiwanese style drinks. I would come back again for the unique tapioca colors and perhaps, try another drink. Tapioca was very chewy and sweet but not the best in my book. The price is on the okay-pricey side my medium-sized drink with bubbles was $ 3.50. Staff members are very nice and friendly from what I experienced and observed. The décor is very clean and I see that they are aiming to be a modern café with the free wifi they have to offer. Overall, a very clean place and has potential to make it big in this area.

Ordered the red bean bubble tea since I was around the neighborhood. It’s a nice place and reasonably priced bubble tea and options. Since I regularly go to the neighborhood restaurant a few blocks away on Sundays, I may just take the walk and visit this place.

My new place for bubble tea!!! This spot has so many options! Milk teas, or Taiwanese teas, smoothies… Etc… No food though. My favorite part: you can customize the sweetness/sugar in your milk tea and you can customize the amount of ice. I like my tea with minimal sugar so this makes me happy. The tapioca is soft and chewy. The color of the tapioca is light pink and is very fresh. No artificial flavors!!! There’s seating space for about 10 people. So, it may not be idea for bigger groups. There’s free wi-fi too! They accept credit card through square! Again, I love this place! Cost is about $ 3.00 for a medium. They do hot beverages too!
