Imagine my surprise, when I walked into Bar Pa Tea on today. First of all, there wasn't any problem other than it was gross and u had to pay for not oat but almond milk P.s. they didn't have oat P.p.s questionable energy and/or vibes Good for a date. But there's no where to sit on but each other or the counter - which the cashier did not enjoy when my wife jumped onto the counter and took a very, very small amount of money that they wouldn't have noticed was gone had we had a seat to sit at. EDIT: literally whatever , I don't care if this was the wrong place I still stand by what I said when she said it

My go-to place when I am craving for a light soft serve! Yes to the tea soft serves! The flavor of their drinks are too light for my taste (not as sweet, lack of flavor). Def go try their soft serves though!

The soft serve with boba is a must try at this place! If you love bubble tea but always wanted to try it in an ice cream form, now is your chance! There's two flavors - Oolong and Black Tea. I've tried both flavors and prefer the Black Tea. If you can't decide, you can always do a swirl and get both flavors. They offer a variety of toppings for additional money such as pearls, mini pearls, braided twist, stroopwafel and more. I've also tried the matcha latte and grapefruit teas and both were good. There's room to sit about 8-10 people inside. If you want to avoid the line, you can order through the Ritual App.

I'm a huge bubble tea lover and I always have to come back to bar pa tea for my fix of rose milk tea, in the stubby cup form. Not many other places have the mini bubbles but bar pa tea has them and I love that I can mix it up!

I'd like to start off by saying that I personally prefer very sweet and fruity teas, so this is just a quick disclaimer. I ordered the jasmine oolong tea and added the tapioca pearls. I asked for little ice and 100% sweetness. The tea was very bitter when I tasted it so I went back to the counter and asked if they could add more sugar. They don't use sugar here, but syrup instead. They added a lot more syrup and it tasted a little bit better. So shoutout to the staff for trying to accommodate my sweet taste buds. But it was still quite bitter for my liking. I'm okay with a non-sweet tea if I'm in the mood for it, but I was hoping for a sweeter tea today. So if you like sweet and fruity teas, I wouldn't come here. But if you prefer the a more "tea flavor" instead of a sweet factor, this place is good. The tapioca pearls were cooked perfectly, which was nice. My girlfriend ordered the swirl soft serve ice cream with boba and stroop waffle. I definitely recommend trying their ice cream. It was pretty hot today so it was really refreshing to have a tea flavored ice cream. I wouldn't recommend adding the stroop waffle though. The waffle tasted like it was stale and had been sitting out for a couple days. It was soft and chewy, when it supposed to be crunchy. All in all, the food and tea was okay. I personally wouldn't come here for the tea since it's a bit bitter for my liking. But as I said before, I like my teas to be very sweet. The ice cream is good though so it's worth checking out if you like tea flavored ice cream and taking nice pictures for Instagram.

I saw a bunch of photos online and on Yelp featuring the delicious looking soft serve ice creams! I ended up getting the soft serve swirl, which is a black milk tea and oolong milk tea soft serve ice cream. The ice cream itself was really creamy, not too sweet and I like that both tastes were very recognizable. I would have wanted popping boba as a topping since it's a much nicer consistency than cold/half frozen chewy tapioca. Also, the center of the ice cream is HOLLOW.... so you're getting much less ice cream than you think. There are better soft serve places out there that don't cheat you. Overall, $5.50 for less ice cream than expected sucks. But it sucks worse when you see so many good reviews and it just falls flat. Does no one eat food anymore? Is everyone just doing it for the 'gram now?

The soft serve is the absolute best thing to try here. Flavors keep changing. When I went it was Rose Green Tea and Jasmine Matcha Green Tea. I took a combo swirl and added regular bubbles to top and bottom. It was really a unique soft serve. I also tried the oolong tea latte. I would say it was ok.

My friends and I shared the Swirl soft serve ice cream with both Black Tea and Oolong Tea flavors and added bubbles! Their bubbles were tiny and brown, unlike the usual big black ones. I really enjoyed it and I liked that it wasn't too sweet! I didn't give 5 stars because I think it's good but not amazing. It's a really small store that fits about 15 people max and most people get it to go. I'd come back to try their lattes, which looked really interesting!

My friend and I shared the mixed swirl of oolong and black tea ice cream with mini bubbles for a total of $6.53. The ice cream was very flavorful. I felt that oolong was a little sweeter than the black tea but both flavors were still prominent and provided a good compliment to each other. The mini bubbles were also satisfying for something more solid to chew on. I also had a matcha latte with mini bubbles and I loved how small the bubbles were that it didn't overpower the matcha flavor.

I ordered the black tea and oolong swirl with large bubbles and the matcha latte. The swirl was sooo creamy and it literally tasted like a cup of milk tea with bubbles, I was taken away with the flavor! It was soooo good and the bubbles texture was perfectly chewy. The matcha latte was very light, it didn't have too strong of a taste. To me, it was only okay, but it's worth a try.

Ordered the black tea and oolong swirl ice cream--it was so tasty. The texture was perfect and the flavor was not too sweet or overpowering, it was perfectly refreshing. The tapioca was pretty good and not hard like some other places. I've heard this place serves only two flavors every day, as well as the swirl (both combined). Definitely coming back to try other flavors in the future!

I've become obsessed with trying different tea flavored soft serve. I ended up getting the rose green tea and jasmine green tea swirl mix with mini boba topping. The rose and jasmine flavors were distinct and mildly sweet. Their flavors were limited to the two I had during my visit. I assume they change flavors frequently because I was expecting to come for Oolong and black tea I saw on menu online but it wasn't available that day. Service was fast and efficient despite the long line. Wouldn't mind stopping by again.

This Boba shop is something of a Black Sheep among Boba shops. Hence I wrote this: Bar Bar Black Sheep Have you any Boba? Yes Fox, yes Fox Three cups full One for the Barbie and one for the stud And one for the soft serve, which is secretly a dud (gasp) I'm actually a big fan of PA Tea, and I knew about them before anybody else did. I used to go to the original location which is now closed down. I miss it. Usually, I can depend on them to make me a Brown Sugar Milk Tea well but this particular location wouldn't do anything for me. They were very strict about sticking to the menu and it and it didn't seem to make any sense to me. The PA Tea down the road is so friendly. These peeps were sooooo passive aggressive and pissy. So I just got the soft serve instead because that's what makes this location really different to the other. It's not bad but it's not very good either. Prices not great. They won't mix up the drinks the way I want them and they were kind of rude about it although the same girl was nice to me when I was leaving. Maybe that was the point - that she was happy I was leaving. In any case I really like the other location and the girls that work there and I will probably keep going back to that one cuz they're actually willing to mix things up for me. But this one was a big let-down except for the sexy artwork all over the wall. Now I know you're all obsessed with this place, but I like my ice cream perfect and I've had it all over Europe, the best of the US, and Italy's amazing Gelato, so I can't pretend this is anything more than average. Would still get 5 stars for the lovely drinks except they wouldn't make them my way for me. Would still get 4 stars but for the nasty service. Then I came back here again (what can I say, I was walking by, I wanted boba, there was a line out the door full of hotties, some of them were smiling at me, so I got in the line), and this time, the service was much, much nicer (after a long wait). The product was delicious (but I expected that, it usually is), and a 5 star quality Boba. The only problem is, I am scared (read: don't wanna waste my time and get b**ched at) to ask for what I actually want. So I can't give more than 4 stars and besides the soft serve is wayyyyyyy overrated (you're all on something, sorry - have you even had good ice cream, top notch soft serve, Milwaukee custard, real Italian gelato, or even amazing East Asian ice cream? This isn't any of those). Let's finish with a rap. Recycled but then so is your boyfriend, right? So come and get Boba at Bar PA TEA It's easier than learning your ABC It's easier than counting One Two THREE It's easier than being gay in PARIS Than France being invaded by GERMANY Than Cochran declaring you're NOT GUILTY And getting the DA to accept your PLEA It's cheaper than Barbie's hourly FEE It's easier than bribing a FIFA REFEREE It's cheaper than Barbie on a SPENDING SPREE And every bite is more than one CALORIE It'll make you get larger, I GUARANTEE And all that TEA will make you run and PEE And if you have $$$$ you can go on ME But it'll be worth it, or my name's not BAMBI Come and get some at 85 C WHAT

I got the double/mixed soft serve, which is their signature item as its a black milk tea and oolong milk tea soft serve ice cream. The ice cream was very delicious, and wasn't too sweet! I love the contrast of flavors from the black milk tea and the oolong milk tea, as both their tastes were very recognizable. Not a huge fan of the pricing though. Although I got a decent amount of ice cream for $5.50, I feel like I should get at least one complimentary topping (perhaps tapioca) since for that price point what I got was a little lacking (only the soft serve). Other spots like New Territories, Soft Swerve, Taiyaki, and Eggloo you get a lot more for that same price point.

The real highlight at Bar Pa Tea are their tea soft serves! A strong tea flavor really comes through. Their oolong tea soft serve and more recently their jasmine matcha special are not too sweet, with hints of bitterness coming through and are very refreshing. The jasmine matcha tea soft serve was one of the best I've ever had and I'll be waiting with anticipation for it to come back!

Straight up one my favorite places to go for dessert when in the area. I love the oolong soft serve and mini bubbles. I believe all the ice cream options are pretty good because it has a hint of tea taste and isn't as sweet as you usually might have. Always enjoy coming here because I know they will not disappoint.

Best. Dessert. Ever. This might be because it caters to all my sweet tooth cravings--ice cream and boba--but I honestly have no complaints. The shop is small and humble but the interior was hip and trendy (made for a lot of people taking pictures for social media). The workers are friendly and give out samples so you know that you are getting what you want. I ordered the black milk tea soft serve with both mini boba and regular boba. I'm usually not a fan of mini boba at all, but it's actually pretty fun as a topping for soft serve! The ice cream was the perfect balance as well. You were able to taste a good amount of the tea but it was also balanced out by the added sweetness. I only wish that they would open one of these stores back in LA! I have told all of my friends visiting New York that this is my #1 recommendation.

Combining two of my favorite desserts in the world? I'm about it. A very simple idea but very well executed. I got the black tea and oolong swirl with mini bubbles and it was such a dream! The deep tea flavor (almost roasted) really shines through which I really appreciate. I have nothing bad to say and that's unusual coming from me. :) The location is also great as it's not too far from SoHo. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other flavors and desserts!

I've been dying to try this place because it's all over my Instagram feed. Let me just say, it was absolutely amazing. I got the swirl soft serve ice cream with mini bubbles. Swirl is a mixture of Oolong and black tea ice cream. Both the Oolong and black tea were rich in flavor. Not too sweet but sweet enough to fulfill my sweet tooth cravings! You could really taste both the tea flavors. The mini bubbles were also spot on. It had a chewy texture and went perfectly with the two different types of ice cream. I would definitely go out of my way to get this again. It was most definitely worth the hype.

Perfect spot for something sweet after dinner. I made my way over here from chinatown because the bar pa tea i typically go to near Grand St. was closed. I got the oolong soft sever with oreo crumbs and bubbles. this was my first time trying tea ice cream and i had to admit, it was an unique blend of tea and ice cream and not too sweet like the ones from ice cream truck. We got two toppings which i felt like maybe too much cause every bite had something else mixing with the ice cream= next time i would get just one topping. It was a bit pricey for the size. since it's not your typical soft serve ice cream shop, i could definitely indulge a lot more. I would come back again if i am around the area looking for something sweet.

Honestly, the most basic soft serve. It's good but not amazing and definitely wouldn't go out of my way to come back. The boba is okay and the cookie crumbles are bland. The stroopwaffle taste like it's been sitting out...for a long time. My boyfriend described it as ancient. The soft serve was served with a huge hole in the middle.

I only had a chance to try out their soft serve but would go back to try their milk teas! I opted to put mini bubbles on the top and bottom of the soft serve (black tea and red oolong). The bubbles did not have much flavour, and I wasn't a huge fan of the chew/texture of the bubbles so I wouldn't get it on the soft serve next time!

Cute little boba shop located near China Town. We happened to walk by after having dinner at artichoke pizza and decided to stop in. It's a small shop with limited seating. The menu was quite extensive, but I decided to go with the usual. I got the brown sugar milk, less sweet, with mini boba. The milk tea was surpassingly good with a strong tea flavor. The mini boba wasn't too bad either.

Overpriced and overrated. Ordered the matcha tea latte ($4.75) and they said 50% is the standard sugar level but it was bitter, not sweet at all. The bubbles (+ $0.50) were also hard and not fully cooked through. Also got the swirl soft serve ($6), combo with black tea and matcha. The black tea flavor was good at least. Won't be returning. Go to boba guys for the best matcha latte.

One of the best soft serve places I have had, and I had many! The flavors are strong and not bland at all. Service is excellent and the place is well kept. There are 2 tables, one with 3 seats and the other with 2. There is a bench and also a bar area that can seat around 5 people. Their flavors are mainly tea derived so if you are a fan of tea, or just ice cream in general, give this place a try. Pricing is decent compare to other city prices. Pricing for the soft serve ranges from $5-6 not including toppings. Def will be back and try more new flavors when they have.

It's a must place to visit if you're ever in town, my friend and I each got the black tea soft serve with bubbles. The consistency of the bubbles were on point and the overall soft serve + bubbles weren't overwhelmingly sweet. My friend isn't a big dessert person but she also enjoyed the soft serve. The only downside of the store is that it's small with limited seating, however, the cold weather with limited seating in the store didn't stop customers from coming. I think the dessert overpowers the limited seating arrangement, it's definitely worth checking it out whether you're from the city or out of town. I definitely want to come back next time I'm visiting the city, and I also want to check out their other options on the menu.

I've wanted to try this place for awhile, so last night I finally decided to walk over. I got a brown sugar milk tea with mixed boba and oolong and black tea soft serve topped with mixed boba. I do really like the mixed boba, it adds another dimension to the drink. The soft serve was pretty good and did taste like their respective teas, but it melted REALLY quickly, leaving me wondering if it had been freezing long enough. Also expected a bit more for $6.50 than what I got- the center of the cup was hollow. The tea was really forgettable, not too much flavor, little sugar (even though I asked for full sugar) apart from the mini boba which were fun. I expected a bit more tea taste, and maybe the boba to be sweeter as well. Glad I came to find out what it was all about, but not a place I need to come back to soon, as there are other boba spots around.

I came here skeptical cause the teas and ice cream were so pretty and Instagramable that I thought there's no way it could be delicious as well. But wow was I pleasantly surprised! After taking my obligatory photos I took a sip of the rose green tea latte with ice cream and was like d@mn. I should have ordered more cause I don't want to share (we bought two items for 4 people. I know I know stupid but it's a little pricey so wanted to see first before committing all the way). the bubbles were a soft red cause they are made with beet powder and TBH I couldn't taste the beets but whatever I don't think I wanted to anyways haha. But they were quite pretty and most importantly had a great chew. Despite having turned my milk tea into a float by adding a scoop of ice cream to it, it was not overly sweet! I didn't even have to ask for it less sweet (cause I forgot) which was great cause a lot of the chain bubble teas come ridiculously sweet by default. The soft serve was also really good. Nice and creamy and flavorful. Only annoying thing was the inside of the swirl was empty.. like they just put it on the outside of the cup for show and then it's all air in the middle :/ regardless it was delicious and will def be back!

We may or may not have been inspired to plan this trip to NYC because of repeated exposure to Bar Pa Tea's soft serve on our Insta feed. Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- We ordered the hojicha and black tea swirl with boba. What's not to like about tea-flavored soft serve. The tea flavor was strong, but the ice cream was creamy and smooth -- the perfect soft serve. The boba was soft and chewy, even after sitting on/in the soft serve. We also ordered a oolong tea latte with tiny pearls. These pearls were tinier than any I had before. The first mouthful was shocking, I almost spat them out the hundred thousand pearls that flooded my mouth. The latte itself was unremarkable 0.5/1 Stars for Value -- OK the novelty of tea-flavored soft serve will get me, but for $5 you get a small cup of ice cream swirl with a HOLLOW-ass center. Mildly disappointing to say the least. Another $.50 for a topping 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- Servers were friendly and worked quickly. My only complaint is the hollow ice cream center. I felt betrayed, I felt traumatized. Why do bad things happen to good people? Bonus star because I would come back for the tea soft serve, this time bracing myself emotionally for that hollow center and skipping the boba as a topping. TL;DR -- Milk tea soft serve, delicious but $5 for a small cup with hollow center

So I came here randomly not knowing that I had this place bookmarked and for a good reason! The interior is really cute and intimate and I love the decor of the place. I didn't get to try their ice cream but that gives me a reason to come back. I think the quality of their bubble tea is really fresh and I love the fact that every two hours they cook a new batch of tapioca pearls. I definitely wish the seating arrangement was a bit more comfortable but there a lot of small places like this in the city so I can't really say much else on that. The employees were super helpful because I was a bit confused on what flavors they had for boba but the cashier said anything that's on their menu can be made into bubble tea which is really great. All in all, we really loved this place and I'm excited to come back and try more of their items! We ordered an Oreo milkshake with bubbles and a black tea bubble tea with oat milk! Both were so good!!!

Delicious tea! I love how you can customize the sweetness level, as many places I've ordered from serve bubble tea that is way too sweet for me. My friend and I each got bubble tea latte floats - bubble tea with a scoop of ice cream! Yum! Loved the mini bubbles, too. They tasted sweet and flavorful and the tea itself was very good. I would recommend.

My girlfriend, my sister and I decided to try Bar Pa Tea as we walked by after dinner. My sister and my girlfriend shared a soft served swirl of black and oolong tea with a stroope waffle, while i order a soft served black tea with boba toppings. The pricing for the soft serve is pretty reasonable and overall the soft serve was delicious although the boba/bubbles wasn't exactly a must have. All in all Bar Pa is definitely the place to go when you want to switch up from a traditional boba milk tea.

This place is yummmaaaay. Strongly recommend this as they have quality bubble tea and their boba is cooked perfectly. A small restaurant with seating for only a couple people this is more of a on the run in/out restaurant. I ordered the medium iced oolong latte with boba, and it was amazing. Perfect flavor and sweet ratio where there wasn't too much sugar and i wasn't overwhelmed. I am very picky with my bubble tea FYI. They also have soft serve which looked phenomenal and i would totally go back and try it again.

SO delicious! The shop itself is pretty small and is quite packed most of the times, but the wait isn't long. I got the oolong soft swerve with bubbles and let me tell you. This oolong milk tea soft swerve is a GODSEND. It's creamy and not too sweet. There's a perfect amount of tea flavor in the ice cream which balances everything out. I'd definitely go back for more.

This is much like going to the old PaTea(closed down, not that far from the here). One thing that was different is their price. Everything are much more expensive and less drink selection than the old one. It is moving toward more expensive bubble tea shop(most time higher quality) in the city. A large cold drink with a topping will cost you slightly more than $7 after tax. I usually get their ice matcha oolong latte with oat milk and mini bubble(Not many stores have that). One thing good is that you can adjust the level of sweetness and the strength of the tea, as well as select varies kind of milk(free of charge). They also add seasonal drink from time to time. The rose green tea(seasonal) had a strong rose flavor and the bubble which comes with the drink was made of beet's coloring instead of regular brown color. It didn't have any taste difference. It was good compare to other stores. For their special soft serve tea ice cream, with same topping as the drinks, had a good tea flavor but not my favorite. The price is roughly the same as the drink. It is worth it if you want to try something new and different. Other than the price is a bit pricy, it is a good place to get a well made drink.

Upon walking into the cafe, I was hit with a strong scent of tea. You can almost taste the bubbles inside, and the tea scent feels very genuine. Although the place was small, there are plenty of seats and the drinks came very quickly. I tried the oolong and the tea was quite good! Would come back to satiate boba cravings

If you love bubble tea, but in ice cream form, Bar Pa Tea is the place for you. I ordered the black tea and red oolong soft serve and it was sooo good. Never had anything that tasted like it before! Minus 1 star because the seating situation is not ideal here. Most likely you'll have to take your drink or ice cream somewhere else :( Will def come back to try their drinks since this seemed pretty popular as well!

Bar Pa Tea is honestly a great dessert option. At first I was skeptical because the idea of bubble tea combined with soft serve seemed fairly gimmicky. However, after actually coming here and trying it for myself, my opinion changed. There's a lot more to this store than just a place to take pictures for Instagram. The thing that I really like is that the soft serve has a real tea taste and has a good sweetness level. Unfortunately, I feel like their standard flavors of oolong and black tea taste very similar, but they do sometimes have specialty flavors for holidays which are also good. Nonetheless, the soft serve has terrific flavor and texture and tastes way less sugary than many bubble teas I have had in the past. I like to get the large bubbles on the top and bottom of my soft serve so that I can eat them throughout my soft serve. They offer small bubbles as well, which I thought I wouldn't like because they are a pain to drink in a bubble tea. However, the experience is better since you don't have to worry about inhaling them since you're eating the soft serve, not drinking it. I got the mini stroopwafel topping once as well, it was just OK. What I dislike is that it's not particularly cheap, it is on the more expensive end of bubble tea type desserts, but it's still not too bad compared to some other dessert places in Manhattan. Also, the shop is very small. It's larger than just a kiosk, but there are probably less than 10 seats in the whole store with not a lot of room for movement. It would be a struggle to fit larger groups especially if there are already customers there. Overall, I'm happy with Bar Pa Tea and am always willing to come back!

This place is super cute - what a novel idea! Of course, not all novel ideas are good ideas, but the rotating line of tea-flavored ice creams keeps this concept fresh and fun. The tiny boba pearls are also perfect as toppings, though I think I prefer the popping boba when paired with ice cream. So far, I've had the earl grey, classic, and oolong teas in soft serve form. Excited to try their other flavors :)

Bar Pa Tea is one of my best go-to spots to bring out of town friends who are looking for some of the more unique things that New York has to offer! Bar Pa Tea soft serve with bubbles is the best! I've probably come to Bar Pa Tea ten times since discovering it. The tea flavors are truly unique and potent enough to actually taste the different tea flavors. The flavor and consistency of the soft serve are 100% on point and adding boba to it makes it even better. This place is often crowded and the inside is small but it's worth it. It's unique, delicious, and super flavorful!

I came here for just any milk tea. It was a hot summer day and I wanted some milk tea to cool off so walked into the first store I saw, Bar Pa Tea. It was very aesthetically pleasing on the inside. I will say that the teas here lack a little sugar if you like a sweeter milk tea. I got small bubbles which I regret just a little because I enjoy having to spend time chewing the bubbles. There were lots of unique flavors you probably wouldn't find anywhere else. I like my milk teas with a sweetness to them, so I probably won't be coming here anytime soon, but if you haven't been here before, I would definitely give it a try!

Came here on Valentine's Day with friends to check out the the Valentine's Day Rose Green Tea soft serve special. If you love green tea then you will definitely love this ice cream. You could definitely taste the tea which I love love love. The bubbles weren't sweet but the Oreos at the bottom and the macaroni evened it out. That came out to $10.33 which I thought was a bit expensive because normally it $5.00 for the soft serve ice cream and $0.50 for each topping. Also when I was on line, I was told that I was the last one to get the special because they ran out so my friend couldn't get one.

Food: 4/5 Ambiance: Clean, chic Price: Affordable Rating: 4/5 One of my first ice cream places in NYC. I personally think their drinks are okay, kinda watery. But their ice cream is BOMB.com. They always have their signature oolong ice cream available plus another seasonal flavor. I always end up getting their oolong ice cream ofc. Pungent taste of oolong tea lingers in your mouth with every bite. Would be 5/5 if the center of the ice cream swirl wasn't always empty Staffs are super nice and friendly.

HOW IS THIS NOT ALREADY A THING EVERYWHERE This is boba milk tea -- but now the tea IS ICE CREAM I too was skeptical until I tried it, and it's perfect. The soft serve has a just the right amount of sweetness, and maintains the taste of fresh milk tea. Goes well with the boba. Having both mini and regular boba keeps the texture interesting -- the boba that sit for longer actually become a little chewier. Enjoyed it way more than I thought I would, can't wait to go back.

I went here to try out the boba tea soft serve ice cream. The shop offers two different tea flavors of soft serve ice cream plus a swirl version of the two kinds. The price point is $5.00 a cup, with toppings, such as boba, oreos, etc. for $0.50 each. PROS: The design of the store is cute and soothing. The soft serve ice cream is delicious. The store offers two different sizes of boba balls, small and regular. CONS: THE SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM IS HOLLOW AS FUCK. When the workers make your soft serve ice cream, they don't fill your cup. They swirl it in a way that when you take your first scoop of ice cream, there is like the biggest cavern inside your ice cream. #softservefraud For $5.00 a cup, you should not be served a half-ass cup of soft serve, although delicious.

I came here with my GF after lunch last year after our lunch date in Chinatown. Walking into this tea/dessert shop, it smelled very rich tea flavor and there was a long line. My friend and I got our own teas. I got the Iron Goddess - Tie Guan Yin tea which was light and amazing! It was great and refreshing for warm Spring or Summer afternoon. I would definitely return again to try their soft serve because I've seen many Instagram photos of it and still haven't tried it yet. It's definitely a unique tea/dessert shop that's worth visiting especially if you like tea-flavored things.

Meh. The ice cream is not really creamy. Portion size is actually small. The middle of the ice cream is hollow! It's very deceptive It's similar to those hollow chocolate easter bunnies. You think it's a solid cupful of ice cream but iit's actually a thin layer of ice cream It's a poor value for $6+ In older posts from 5 months ago management said they are "working on solving" the hollow ice cream problem. They still haven't figure out how to fill a cup with ice cream. Huh? How difficult is it? I would rather go to a legit ice cream or gelato store.

Came here on a freezing Sunday and the place was surprisingly packed with a steady flow of people in and out. We ate about half our cup standing before we were able to get seats. Pictured below: Swirl (Black tea & Oolong) with mini tapioca Loved loved the tea flavor in both and it wasn't too sweet or strong. We ran out of bubbles pretty quickly and I wish they'd put some on the bottom of the cup like others' photos on here. Most disappointing part was that the inside of the icecream swirl is hollow so you're definitely getting way less than you'd expect and the cup is already somewhat small to begin with. However, I would come back esp on a summer day because the flavor was lovely.

Hi Elaine, Thanks for the visit! Our goal is to offer an alternative version of bubble tea that has saturated the market for years. We strive to be healthier by using only high quality ingredients. Thus, our drinks are sweetened at the standard of 50%. Of course, this standard doesn’t work for everyone so we offer our customers the opportunity to choose from 0, 30, 50, 70, and 100%. Please feel free to request more sugar — our staff will be glad to help! We hope to see you again. Best, Bar Pa Tea

Brown sugar milk tea was pretty good. However, it costs $2 more than your average bubble tea. The bubbles are good but it could be a little sweeter. They normally put 50% sugar but I recommend 75% sugar. The store is cute, it has some seating. Also, they have a rewards system if you go there regularly. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to get this.

Very creative bubble tea and dessert shop. I got a swirl( black tea and iron coddess tea) soft serve with bubbles on top. It tasted pretty amazing! My husband got the Matta latte float and that was really fresh and tasty too not too sweet. The only reason it's not 5 star is because there is very limited seating and the prices were a bit high. Our total came to be $15 but that's typical nyc.

Loved the tea soft serve here! Refreshing snack and still delicious even in winter as I was freezing and unable to feel my hands before I walked in. I got the mixed swirl of the Black Tea and Tie GuanYin flavors. Not too sweet, and the tea flavors were strong and smooth. I added bubbles (aka boba -- is bubbles the New York term?? the CoCo here also called it bubbles) for 50 cents, which were nice and chewy -- a pleasant textural component. Only complaint is that the soft serve could be a bit creamier; some bites I had were a little more icy. Ask for samples if you're not sure what flavor to get!

Only tried the ice cream but as a milk tea lover...IT WAS SO GOOD. Had the Iron Goddess flavour aka Tieguanyin which is apparently a type of Oolong and it had the best milk tea flavour I've ever tasted. Got both size of boba/bubbles and highly recommend getting the smaller boba only if you're having ice cream. Will be coming back so often - even in this cold!

I've never had anything like this and I really enjoyed it. First of all oolong tea soft serve, yum. I was worried that it would have to much of a tea taste to it, but it was delicious. They also serve black tea soft serve too, but I enjoyed the oonlong better. They are really nice, and offer you samples so go ahead and ask to try them. I also enjoyed their boba or bubbles as they call it. Bar Pa Tea is all about making their boba with no artificial flavors and nor high fructose corn syrup. I love how you can have them with the soft serve. I got the mixed bubbles, which is the small boba with the regular boba. I got it so that the mini bobas are on top of the oolong soft serve and the regular on bottom, and I got to say I wouldn't recommend the mini boba with your soft serve because it begins to harden. So come in and try their oolong soft served with regular size bubbles.

After coming across this on yelp, we were very tempted to go and try their "Black tea soft serve ice cream". The ice cream was so delicious!! We had ordered it with mini bubbles, which was a great choice. (We hope to try it out with the regular bubbles or mixed option next time). Coming from New Jersey, i personally have never ever tried tea flavored ice cream, and this definitely does not disappoint! However, aside from the pros, the only thing I disliked was the fact that the ice cream was layered to make it seem like it was full. The cup was hollow in the middle, which is not that amusing to see. We also ordered the black tea latte, however it was not as good as the ice cream itself. They mixed black tea alongside with actual milk, but I personally do not enjoy this flavor as much. The bubbles however, were very good quality. (chewy and not as sugary as other places)

Bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles! I've always wondered why I haven't seen bubble tea soft serve and then I saw Bar Pa Tea all over insta (ooooof course, how else do I find anything these days). Bar Pa Tea is conveniently placed in Nolita and surrounded by several cute and hip brunch spots so it's the perfect place to get dessert afterwards. I honestly didn't even look at the rest of their menu, I knew I was there for their soft serve ice cream. I chose the oolong tea and black tea swirl so I could taste both, and I got the mixed bubbles for the aesthetic. I also added a stroopwafel because who in their right mind says no to one?? By the time we got our order, the store was so crowded that we decided to vacate our bench and eat right outside in the 25 degree weather. The stroopwafel and bubbles were a bit hard because they froze quickly, but the ice cream tasted exactly like milk tea - creamy, smooth, and perfectly sweet. Definitely a place I'll be frequenting and introducing to friends!

I saw this place all over Instagram and instantly wanted to try it. After all this time I was in the area and a friend suggested it so I was all for it. I already knew I wanted to try their soft serve ice cream with boba before even seeing the menu, even though the menu had some other nice drink options. At the time I went, they had black and oolong flavors. I went with the oolong soft serve with boba and had no regrets. The ice cream was a nice sweet, but not too sweet herbal flavor. The only downside was that the ice cream was hollowed out in the middle.

I've been complaining for the better part of a half decade about NY's lack of blue ice cream and Bar Pa Tea has come to answer my prayers... (whining). They use blue algae as coloring for all you health enthusiasts, and a tiny gingerbread house for all of you holiday enthusiasts, and a cute cashier for you creepers (me). They're limited to two ice cream flavors at a time, one usually being an experimental flavor. So far, I've seen earl grey, grapefruit, salted caramel, and rose. Follow their instagram if you want to stay updated. Otherwise, their staples are black tea and oolong. They have a little more range with their bubble teas but nowhere close to other franchises, as they're more focused on quality than brevity. That being said, their lattes are the richest oolongs and black teas I've had in bubble tea form.

Wife and I visited Bar Pa Tea around 4:30pm on Saturday. It was pretty busy, but it cleared up quickly. The space is small, so if it's busy then good luck finding seating, or even a spot to stand lol. We got A hot Matcha Green Tea Latte and Swirl Ice Cream with Bubbles. This was our first time here and we enjoyed it. The hot latte was perfect for the cold day in NY and the swirl ice cream was a perfect blend of Oolong and Black Tea.

Found one of favorite bubble tea and soft serve ice cream in town. They use healthy ingredients and true to the flavors of the natural tea, not overloaded with sugar and flavor powders. Tried the soft serve ice cream with green tea and blue algae. It was smooth and creamy, not overly sweet. The tea lattes were good as well, not overly sweet. I did ask for 70% sugar. There are couple tables but not whole lot of seating FYI. And place is not very large. Their logo is bear and color pink, which makes it cute and great for Instagram. They also have royalty program in case you frequent the establishment :) Boba boba

This place is worth the hype! I saw this boba shop all over social media, specifically FB, and I knew I had to try it out when I visited NYC. I was so interested because it looked delicious in the videos, and I've never seen a boba soft serve before. I came in the afternoon on a Friday, and it was pretty packed! The shop is small, but there is a fair amount of seating inside. I ordered the oolong soft serve with boba (~$5). The price was fair, but I wished they had more sizes for the soft serve because it only comes in one medium size. However, the soft serve was very delicious - I loved the tea flavor and sweet taste of it. The boba itself was soft and chewy - definitely well made. The only downside to my experience was the service. I ordered up front, telling her that I wanted the soft serve with boba. However, she called my name and told me that she forgot to add boba to my price and asked for 50 cents more. I was irritated because I don't carry cash on me, and the burden of the extra cents should've been on her. I fumbled through my wallet and found 50 cents, but she told me it was actually 54 cents with tax. Luckily, I did have 54 cents, but I was pretty upset that the store didn't accommodate for her error. Nonetheless, the soft serve and boba was delicious, and I really enjoyed the ice cream! I hope this place can make its way to California one day.

Ok the hype is real. Bar Pa Tea is worth every penny. I said it. Who would have thought bubble tea in ice cream version would be so delicious. They were out of the oolong soft serve an hour before closing on a Sunday evening, which was just fine by me since I was wanting to try the black milk tea flavor anyway. I ordered the black milk tea soft serve with bubbles and it was so good! It was a pretty and insta-worthy dessert that wasn't too heavy or sweet. The soft serve definitely tasted like black milk tea (yes, there is a little caffeine in it) and the bubbles were perfectly chewy. The ratio of bubbles to soft serve was pretty spot on. Although, I could have used with a little more soft serve... My one complaint was the way they layered the soft serve - in the middle of the cup, above the layer of boba, was a whole bunch of nothing - it made me feel cheated of a few bites of soft serve. I would have appreciated having that additional ice cream! Ba Par Tea is definitely a great alternative to the usual bubble tea dessert!

It's worth the experience if you've never had "bubble tea ice cream". However, I was underwhelmed by the very subtle tea flavors. Ice cream to boba ratio was a bit odd for me as well. Not likely something I will get regularly but fun to try.

Bar pa tea is very much an Instagram worthy bubble tea/soft serve joint. I adore soft serve but the inside was very crowded and it was cold so I settled for hot bubble tea. Of course after I ordered, seats opened up and I was sad to not be trying to the soft serve BUT, my brown sugar oolong with oat milk as very nice and toasty. I had a mix of small of normal sized bubbles (the small ones are so tiny it's a totally different feel). The biggest downfall are the crowds. There was a group of 8 people and only 2 who had ordered anything and they took up at least half the seats in the shop and weren't even consumers. Definitely worth going to if you're in the area with a bubble hankering and pining for an insta-worthy neon sign, but I wouldn't make a specific trip Will have to update when I try the soft serve because it looks sooo good

This is clearly a very popular place! It was completely packed when we went and couldn't tell where the line was at first. Note that if this is a place where you'd want to hang out with a big group, you might have to find somewhere else to go. Seating it extremely limited. + The hot green tea latte w/ boba was really delicious. I don't eat ice cream, so I opted for a hot drink. It was nicely sweetened (but not overwhelming). + I got the boba because they make them in house. They're sweetly yummy and chewy. Not too big, not too small. It worked well with my drink, but I couldn't eat the boba while my drink was still hot so they all ended up at the bottom after I had drank most of my drink. + It priced pretty average to what boba costs + The place was pretty clean, the service is quick, and the staff are really friendly.

We went here during a festival taking place in Little Italy and it was pretty empty. The interior is very cute though and people working there are relatively nice. We got black tea soft serve and black milk tea. I'm used to items that pretty sugary and both treats were not as sweet as I would have hoped. Still both were relatively good if you're looking for desserts that aren't on the sugary side.

We got the swirl tea soft serve which was super good! Not overly sweet like your usual vanilla soft serve and you can definitely taste the tea flavors in it. We went on a rainy day so it wasn't very crowded but on normal days when we walk past it there is usually a line of about 5 people.
