The pink ombré slushy was even more tasty than I expected! It has lychee bits and the dragon fruit flavoring isn't strong and it comes with cheese foam. The lychee and the green tea are the stronger flavors in the drink. Refreshing on a hot day. There's seating inside but it was all full on a Saturday. Casual ordering on the kiosks.

I was very excited to try this place because I've heard great things about it in the past. I got the pink ombré which had dragonfruit juice and lychee and aloe as a topping. I loved it and think I would order it again (after trying out a couple of their other drinks because I like to try new things)! The ordering process is very straightforward and there are multiple kiosks you can use to place your order. There is a screen letting you know when your order is ready and they were pretty quick at making our drinks. It is a small space but still roomy enough to walk around without feeling cramped, and had simple decorations on the walls. It is also conveniently located right next to the 50th St. CE subway station

Small cute store with a few seats (but no bathroom ) The fruit teas were really flavorful and thought it was a great balance btw the green tea flavor and the fruit flavor (passion fruit and lychee)! The tapioca was still warm, soft and sweet

Overall: 4.6/5 (take out) They had ipad ordering kiosks which I liked because we can look at the drink pictures and ingredient lists before choosing. It was empty when we came on a Monday late afternoon so the drinks came out right away. Pink Ombre Slush ($7.50): The pink ombre is a slush made from jasmine green tea with fresh lychee, aloe, dragon fruit, and cheese foam. I got 70% sweet which was recommended and the perfect sweetness level for me. This was so refreshing and tasty! I love the aloe bits as well.

My friend and I were looking for a boba place around the Times Square area, and I decided to check this one out! There is a Snackpass menu online if you want a preview of what they offer. Since it was getting close to the evening, I played it safe and got one of the few non-caffeinated options: -Brown Sugar Boba Milk: 4.2/5 I often don't stir the syrupy boba at the bottom for my drinks, since it just dilutes the sweetness overall, but when I took my first sip, it was PACKED with brown sugar flavor. I ended up having to mix it thoroughly since it was sooo sweet and heavily flavored. Even after mixing it, the milk was also still rathwr sweet. I prefer subtler tastes and sweetness, but the boba was perfectly soft and chewy, hot and fresh. I was served very quickly as there weren't any customers when we arrived. There are Snackpass kiosks in the store for you to order from, but you could also order at the front and pay in cash. They have fancier fruit tea options that look amazing, so if you aren't afraid of caffeine, those should be great to try!

Love how many varieties this place has. Summer refresher, the cheese foam fruit tea was my favorite.

Strong tea flavor! I got the black tea boba milk and got to try their Oreo milk tea too. Tried a few fruit teas too: Summer Refresher and Strawberry explosion. Better than others I visited in my trip without question (I'Milky, teaandmilk) The fruit teas also have that strong tea flavor I'm looking for and isn't watered down. They have a fantastic selection of both fruit and milk teas and it's easy to order from the kiosk. Surprisingly not crowded and there's some props for you to pose with for photos too.

It was cold and raining during our visit to New York, so my daughter and I stopped in to get some hot tea to warm up. We ordered the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea & Peach Oolong Milk Tea. Both teas were very fragrant and we enjoyed them very much. To me, it tasted like high quality Taiwanese tea. Service was quick and the store was clean.
