Tea Art - New York, New York

We got brown sugar milk tea, mango fruit tea, strawberry fruit tea, and fresh taro milk with onigiri (spicy tuna and salmon) and Taiwanese sausage sample to try!

We enjoyed it and has few seatings available. The staffs are lovely to interact with.

You can customize your drinks - sugar level, ice level, milk options and more. We all had medium sized drinks which is enough for us to finish.

Thank you again for delicious bubble tea drinks and snacks to savour!

The sweetest little boba shop! We wandered in close to closing and didn’t want any caffeinated drinks and the tea maker had a full menu of non caffeinated drinks prepared. Got the seasonal pumpkin milk with boba pearls and it was DELICIOUS! They hand make the pumpkin puree with kabocha squash.

The menu is super unique with flavors I haven’t seen at other bubble tea chains. We’ll definitely be back to try all the other specialty drinks they have! The owner is super friendly and patiently describes each drink/ answers any questions. There’s a bit of seating indoors too and they sell specialty teas as well.

Stopped by this shop today and both tea and food are great! Highly recommend their sausage and onigiri. The owner is so friendly and welcoming - when we walked in he treated us with samples of sausage and onigiri. When it took a while to cook, they treated us with a sample of mochi. All in all super super lovely shop with a sense of belonging as Chinese myself. 老板超级热情，饭团和香肠都很好吃！They also have a cute bubble tea plushie as in picture. Please come in and support this Asian-owned shop!

EDIT: 5 stars!!
After my poor experience at Tea Art, Linda (the store manager) was very quick to respond and resolve the situation. She informed me that she looked into this situation to understand what may have caused this and was apologetic. I went back and the tea was perfectly steeped with a nice depth of flavor. The jasmine jelly added a nice texture to the drink. This time I could definitely tell that there was a topping present. Really appreciate their commitment to ensure customers are left feeling satisfied with their drink and I will definitely be back to try more!!

—-Original review—-
UGH, maybe it was an off day but I came in with high hopes after reading these reviews and was left so disappointed. The Formosa jasmine tea with jasmine jelly tasted so diluted and there was barely any tea flavor. It literally felt like I was drinking iced water with the essence of jasmine tea. There was also little to no jasmine jelly present to the point where I was seriously questioning whether it was there in the first place (still unsure if it was)…

Tea Art offers an exceptional experience with both their teas and customer service. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help you find the perfect tea. The quality of the teas is top-notch, with a wide selection that caters to every preference. However, it may not be the nicest spot to hang around as seating is limited. Still, it's perfect for grabbing a high-quality tea on the go. Highly recommend for any tea lover looking for a delightful and personalized experience!

Love this place! I go whenever I need a sweet treat during my work lunch. Everything’s always excellent and the owner is so nice! This place also got me to actually like pumpkin drinks, since the pumpkin is made fresh. I know I’ll always get a great drink when I come here. A hidden gem of Soho!

Love this spot!! The workers are so friendly and Andrew is very accommodating!
The space is so cute and thoughtful. They are dog friendly and have a jar of dog treats near the window sill.
Tea is amazing and their pudding is out of this world!

Really neat store, good drinks, and friendly owner. I found out that the owner is Taiwanese. We ended up chatting in Taiwanese lol.
