My favorite Bubble Teas in Chinatown! Try some of the more innovative flavors; they change them all the time. If you're hungry, keep it tea-themed and order the Green Tea Noodles.

Lines at this popular spot regularly wind into the street. Boba novices should start with the classic pearl milk tea, a smooth, strong black milk variety studded with super-fresh, chewy tapioca balls. Read more

Hot ginger and taro soup is AMAZING. Not sure if it's just a seasonal/special item but get it if you can!! Perfect way to warm up on a cold day and healthy!

Beautiful well-lit space with nice seating (and outlets). Great alternative to coffee shop for working or even a casual date!

Yeah, everyone says to get the taro root bubble tea. And they only say that because it's A-W-E-S-O-M-E! And you know you want to feel awesome.

The best place to go for bubble tea. You will not find finer quality tea in your bubble tea, because Ten Ren is an actual tea shop. Branches in Flushing and Brooklyn Chinatown.

Great bubble teas with a good variety of flavors and option to modify sugar levels. IMO, better than Vivi's or Coco's.

Tea company running a tea shop. I am sure they know what they are doing with tea itself. They need to up their service a bit for the best experience.

Still the best bubble tea in NY and it's made from fresh brewed tea, not sugary powder. You can also ask them not to add sugar at all.

Bring tea to make at home! Or get a large mango green tea to go. Adjustable sugar and ice levels.

Not to be confused with the Ten Ren bubbletea store next door. This is where you come to get Taiwanese teas!

Really good place to hang out and grab a vanilla chai or kings tea, sooooo good

Summer refresher: King's Tea, no milk, half sugar (specify when ordering!), and grass jelly in place of tapioca.
Michael EngJuly 16, 2013
My new go-to spot for boba. Cold black milk tea with tapioca, hits the spot every time.
River MirandaNovember 21, 2016
Very good puerh. Don't talk on the phone while you're in there though, they got real mad at me 😇🙃

How’s this for an ancient Chinese secret: drink some green tea. Great treat and great for you too. It’s not a secret anymore…

You can tell them not to make your milk tea too sweet of you'd like.

Some of the best tapioca I've ever had
stephiedooJanuary 3, 2016
I come for the decent herbal jelly dessert. I find their bubble teas quite awful. Too much sugar, bad mixing proportions, and undercooked tapioca balls.
Michelle ChuFebruary 17, 2015
Passion fruit green tea my favvv
