    I patronized this place for the first time today and this was purely by happenstance. I was delighted with the service and the cleanliness of the place, it was refreshing to actually find a place that looked clean and served quality cold beverages. The majority of businesses in that general area, with similar products are of a lower quality, and just did not seem appealing to me, to finally find a place like this little nook was a relief! The servers are young and eager to deliver and very pleasant as well. This place is clean and offers quality food, and service and the prices are affordable too. Please give them a try.

    Got some mango Boba tea here. It was so refreshing. They had a great selection of drinks and snacks. Will come back again to try other flavors.

    Incredible! Such friendly people, amazing and generous service, and delicious snacks and drinks. I appreciate the tasty and yummy Asian goodies this store makes available in NYC. Thank you and I’ll be back!

    It was too late in the evening for me to get a tea (Id be awake all night), but Tea Time is a convenient place to pick up Asian snacks, including my beloved shredded squid 😋🦑. They carry Samyang ramen and a bunch of types of ice cream bars (including the kind with boba in them). So it saves you the trouble of heading down to the H-Mart further down on 3rd. Finally, they pack your order in this really nice bag. 👍👍

    The perfect place to get your snack on. Their bubble teas are generous with the pearls and you can customize the level of sweetness, which I very much appreciate. They are also a lot more flavorful without tasting artificial and are very reasonably priced.Snacks are plenty; savory, sweet, spicy, tart, even weird but still enticing. There’s usually something new in the store too.To respond to Eugene Ye”s review: the printed date on the snacks in your picture is the production date per the Chinese characters 生产.

    Delicious tea - not too sweet even at the regular sugar amount. There’s options to adjust sugar and ice levels. Lots of flavors offered and a generous amount of bubbles.The store has a variety of East Asian snacks as well, ranging from candy and noodles to sauce.The staff member was very friendly also. Highly recommend supporting this local shop instead of the various chains around

    Stumbled on this boba shop and would recommend their teas! They had non dairy creamer and the flavor of the matcha milk tea I got was great. They also have good quality sturdy serving cups/bags which I appreciated.

  • Review 9 (2021-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    Not really want to get a free tea for this five stars review, but for the good snacks and close by Asian store. However, it was very annoying me each time I stepped into the store, not a really friendly welcoming, but instead those people made me want to jump out off the store right away. Whatever, I didnt care about that because they nice to me when I checked out. so I still went there to get different things like yummy snack and teas when I walked by. Until now, I am not going back there again ever because that one guy who always at the cashier is not friendly and very rude to me. First time he did that, I thought he would probably just had a long day at work. But again, second time he just rude and not friendly!The rest of the people are nice and definitely go for good snacks and teas! Love.

    I just tried their tea for the first time. It was so good. I am normally not a bubble tea person. I went there to pick up one for my daughter and I ended up with two. I really enjoyed it. They also have a lot of great Asian snacks.

    Love this Place!! They have so many asian snacks and so many bubble tea options. Very glad this place is close to my school!

  • Review 24 (2022-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    Tea Time is one of my favorite bubble tea places in NYC, and it has a full snack market to go with it. The variety of options for ther bubble tea is like no other. They have all the toppings and you can customize your bubble tea fully. I always get oolong tea with lemon, no ice, half sugar, and bobba plus rainbow jelly, if you need some suggestion 😋. Also, how cute is that tiger? 😍

    The staff over at Tea Time are always very welcoming and helpful. They have the freshest boba and great variety of bubble tea flavors. My favorites are the passion fruit and lemon slushies with tapioca pearls. They have hot drinks as well. Highly recommend this spot for tasty snacks and fruity drinks.

  • Review 47 (2023-06-13 - Rating: 4)

    Whether youre in the mood for a delicious bubble tea or some unique Asian snacks, Tea Time is a wonderful option! Its the perfect place to satisfy your snack craving or to grab one of their unique milk teas, fruit teas or smoothies to sip on. They give you a generous amount of Boba pearls in your bubble tea and youre able to customize the level of sweetness you desire, which is a big plus since Im big on watching my sugar intake (you can choose normal half or no sugar). You are also able to choose the amount of ice you want (normal less ice or no ice). This was my first time here and the lady behind the counter helped make my decision much easier. I chose their Tea Time Signature Boba Tea. What a true delight and so refreshing! I got it with less sugar and less ice. It was so flavorful without tasting artificial. The price was fair (around $6) and the packaging was great (Im saving that dope, reusable cup to have my cold drinks on the go). Im looking forward to coming here regularly and trying other drinks.Sidenote: Such a convenient location as well. Located on the border of Union Sq and Gramercy and less than two blocks from Trader Joes and GEN Korean BBQ on 14th & 3rd.

    Delicious iced coffee+tea with coffee jelly cubes in a sophisticated presentation. Plus this place has chips that will surprise most people. Crayfish not to your liking? Try the crab. Or cucumber. 🎯
