Came back to give this place another try since I was in the area and had a great experience. :) I got the black tea latte and it was awesome! I got the mini bubbles and really liked them. I didn't get to try the soft serve -- too cold out since I was walking around all day but am looking forward to coming back!

Had really high expectations for this boba place and maybe ordered the wrong thing but their drinks are soooo sour!! The matcha lemonade tasted more like lemon juice with a light matcha flavor and the grapefruit green tea was also quite sour. Probably won't be returning even though we enjoyed the space and the staff was friendly.

I went to this shop three times. At first, I ordered the oolong tea latte and I like it, the boba is also good. So, I decided to go again to try the scoop of ice cream. At first, they told me I can't just order the matcha ice cream, I need to make it to the float. I said sure! But then, turn out to a cup of matcha latte with a vanilla ice cream. I asked about the ice cream and then they said if you want the matcha one, it will cost you more. I'm kinda feeling unfriendly at that moment but I told myself never mind. After few days, I came again and pointed to the matcha latte float's picture and said I want to order this. And also asked them if I can change to the soy milk? I don't know why they told me, "Oh! We have vanilla and matcha ice cream." And I replied, "Oh never mind I just get the regular one." (And point to the matcha latte float's pic again.) However, I just got a cup of matcha latte...... I'm really disappointed at this. I felt so difficult to get this scoop of matcha ice cream.

My girlfriend and I went to this place twice this week. All we wanted was to have a scoop of matcha ice cream on a matcha latte, and they somehow messed up every time (They gave us a vanilla one the first time and today they didn't even add the ice cream). Didn't expect too much but it's just annoying that we couldn't even get the correct order, twice.

Came on Xmas eve and got the holiday special - earl grey soft serve w/ BLUE ALGAE! + a mini gingerbread house as a garnish. Not bad. The wait was short and it's pretty cool inside. Taste-wise, you def taste earl grey but the color I think is more for the gram... I would come back to try another specialty flavor again. I wish they had specialty sorbet flavors as well maybe something for the summer!

8 check-ins here and yet I'm still not a regular. That's how poppin and good this place is! I don't ever go here for the drinks. They're not really my type of drinks but the soft serve ice cream sure is! I always go here for their ice cream, especially because they are always thinking of new special collaborations for every holiday. This definitely helps in making this spot stand out and reeling us back in for more. Plus, they are aesthetic and have a modern & artsy touch to them. All the tea flavored ice cream I have tried (black tea, oolong, rose green tea, & earl grey) from here are fantastic. Black tea is forever my favorite but the earl grey is a close second now and I hope it's here to stay! Not to mention, the bubbles (both regular and mini) are just the right amount of chewy! The ice cream does have bits of ice in them but it isn't noticeable when the floral flavor of the ice cream stands out more. I will forever be a loyal fan of Bar Pa Tea for their unique soft serves!

Whenever I travel, I'm always looking for new boba places to try out. Bar Pa Tea did not disappoint! The shop itself is very cute. I ordered the oolong tea latte with boba and my bf ordered the oolong tea latte with brown sugar. The oolong tea had a strong tea taste and the boba had the perfect amount of chewiness. Next time when I'm visiting NYC during warmer weather, I want to try their soft serves.

What a cute little hole-in-the-wall spot!! Bar Pa Tea is the perfect rendezvous snack joint for friends meeting up for tea, coffee, or dessert. They have a great selection of sweet treats, but their bubble tea is definitely a good choice. For those looking for a calorie splurge, definitely go for their Tea Latte Soft Serve. They even add bubbles and a few toppings, if you ask them.

The oolong tea soft serve is amazing!!! The ice cream has a strong tea flavor without being overly sweet and the mini tapioca on top really compliments this dessert. It taste exactly like milk tea in frozen form. This solves my dilemma when I can't decide between getting bubble tea or ice cream after a meal. My only complaint is that it is a bit deceiving since the center of the cup is completely hollow inside. This means you get less ice cream and it leaves you wanting more.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but was a bit disappointed after having their ice cream - oolong tea soft serve. It feels a bit too watered down, I can't really taste the tea. Seems like a good concept but I think they need to work on getting the flavors right.

My go to recommendation for anyone visiting New York! I first heard about this place through a trending insider video on facebook, and when I went to try it out for myself, it did not disappoint. I tried both the oolong and black tea soft serve with boba. Both were good, but the black tea had more of an authentic tea taste. The boba was also the right consistency, not too hard or soft. Will be returning whenever I get the chance.

Love this concept of soft serve with boba!!! I found out about Bar Pa Tea on FB/Instagram and have been dying to try. I didn't have too high of expectations just because a lot of places that sound cool are overhyped. However, this place ended up being as cool as it sounds. I ordered the oolong and black tea swirl (two flavors in one) with boba. You can get either small or large boba and choose to have them at the bottom or top of the soft serve. YUM. Love both of the tea flavors, though to be honest I couldn't really taste the difference. What mattered was that the ice cream wasn't too sweet and the boba was the perfect texture. So incredibly refreshing I finished in no time. Can't wait to come back again and maybe try the drinks too!

If you want the next most instagramable spot, this is the place for you! Whether you are a boba babe or boba addict, they have combined BUBBLE TEA with ICE CREAM. Ordering is quick and efficient - we had our desserts in less than 5 minutes upon walking in. We got the Milk Tea soft serve and posed for about 5 minutes with the cute neon sign they have in the store. My only qualm is that the store is pretty small so ledge space and seats are a hot commodity.

I was looking forward to visiting Bar Pa Tea for over a year and this past summer I was finally able to make my dream come true. Not disappointed! Bar Pa Tea is unique for its milk tea soft serves. I love soft serves in general and am a HUGE boba milk tea addict so whoever invented this combo should get a Nobel Prize. I got the Oolong milk tea soft serve and it was amazing! Creamy oolong milk tea soft serve with warm and squishy boba was a match made in heaven. Easily a 5 star for this. I docked off a star for overall cleanliness of the shop (during my visit, trash was full and all over the floor) and rude cashier. I might plan another NY trip for more of these milk tea soft serve!

Yummy tea flavored soft serve! I tried the oolong and black tea swirl - very creamy and fresh tasting with a strong tea flavors. I also added the large boba to the bottom - it's made fresh every 2 hours and I was lucky to catch a fresh batch. I added a stroopwaffel as well. It's a bit on the pricey end for ice cream, but it's rare to find soft serve tea flavors, so it's worth it. They have an impressive tea menu as well, I'd like to return to try more. Unfortunately, there is not much seating Available inside and the place is popular, so the limited seating is further cramped by the line.

Boba Ice Cream! You can choose to have boba at the bottom or on the top by the rim. We got the black milk tea ice cream with Oreo cookies and the matcha latte with boba! *** Locals As a local looking to explore, it would be worth it. *** Travelers As a traveler, there may be better options of the quintessential New York during your short time here.

The oolong soft serve is great. The black tea one is a little too bitter for my liking but I'm sure others will enjoy it. The tea flavor really comes through but they are a little skimpy with the ice cream since they don't fill the middle. It also pairs well with the boba which adds to the texture. I go for the mini bubbles on the bottom so that it's not too messy. The place is also a little crowded but busy

Boba soft serve is a dream come true. I had the black tea and my friend had the oolong so that we could try both, and both were so good! I loved how the tea flavor was so strong, rather than being overpowered by sugar, so I didn't feel like it was too sweet even by the time I was almost done with it. The boba was slightly sweet with a perfect chewy consistency. Of course there was a hole in the middle of the soft serve, because how else do soft serve places make money, but the portion was honestly pretty decent as is. Considering how good this was, I definitely want to give their drinks a try in the future.

AMAZING! Only tried the soft serve but it was fun to switch it up from the average bubble tea and loved the different ways you can customize it. You can pick whatever toppings you want and you can choose to divide the topping between the top and bottom or just have the toppings in one section. I opted for the oolong black tea swirl. You can also get a mini stroopwafel, Oreo crumbs and honey twists but each topping costs 50 cents, so I just went for the mini bubbles. The interior: Went on a weekend and it was very crowded right after normal dinner hours, but i don't think it's a bad if you go in the middle of the day.

Life is just simply not the same after trying Oolong Milk Tea Soft Serve with mixed boba (mini and regular sized). Is it a little overpriced for the portion you get? Yes! Is this place super tiny you'll most likely be standing? Yes! Will you enjoy every single bite of this fragrant and silky smooth Oolong milk tea soft serve? YES!!! Also, mixed bubbles doesn't sound like to matters, but trust me.. I now need mini boba balls in my life. The texture was so incredibly awesome and didn't harden while in the ice cream. I'm saddened that this is the only place I know where they sell this; I'll be dreaming of it!

Only in NYC would you find an idea as novel as bubble tea soft serve! Fortunately, this place is more than just Insta-worthy. The soft serve swirl actually had pretty prominent tea flavors. The soft serve wasn't overly sweet either. Another pleasant surprise was the perfectly chewy texture of their freshly cooked boba. I know their boba is fresh because they have these digital clocks mounted on the wall that dictate exactly when each batch of boba has reached optimal texture. More boba shops should take heed. Bar Pa Tea definitely needs to add more flavors. I like the oolong and the classic black tea texture, but they could do so many more! I'm sure it would all taste great! I didn't try their regular milk teas, but if their soft serve is any indication of the quality of their teas, I wouldn't be surprised if their drinks stacked up as well. If you're looking to change up the regular boba routine, try it in soft serve form! It'll be sure to satisfy your cravings!

Instagram famous neon sign aside, Bar Pa Tea actually serves some solid bubble tea and soft serve that makes the trip here worthwhile. The must have here is the oolong and black tea soft serve, or better yet the "Swirl," which has both flavors. Top this concoction off with their perfectly cooked and honey-soaked boba, and you have yourself a truly delightful dessert. The ice cream here just oozes with tea flavor and the sweetness is light so nothing is overpowered here. Even better, both boba variants they provide have just the perfect amount of "pop" and are slightly warmed so they do not become too hardened by the cold soft serve. I have no doubt their traditional bubble teas will hold up to the gold standard as well and that is exactly what I look forward to trying next time!

This is the best bubble tea in Manhattan. I'm addicted to their brown sugar oolong with big boba. Perfectly sweet and the boba are plump, sweet, and just the right amount of chewy. Plenty of space for seating as well. They have soft serve which I haven't tried but will definitely be back for it once the weather gets warmer. The bubble tea is around 5-6$ depending on what you get- but I'm confident it's worth it for the quality of the tea, bubbles, and unique flavors they have to offer. Will be back here many, many times when I'm in the area.

I came here with a few friends on a weekend after dinner, and I shared the oolong soft swerve with big bubbles and small bubbles with a friend. The flavor was amazing, and the bubbles were really chewy and perfectly cooked. I was actually quite impressed with those bubbles and the frozen yogurt itself. The flavor was just so amazing. My only complaint is that this dessert was $6 (post-tax), which is just way too much to pay for an ice cream.

One of our friend is studying in NYC and we met up with him. We were craving bubble tea and he bought us to Bar Pa Tea. Love the simple design, the staff were very nice. We tried the soft serve and the black oolong latte. Both dessert were delicious. The pearls / bubbles are chewy and the drink was not too sweet. I'd recommend if you're shopping around Soho and just walk over to near China Town and try it out!

I will always and forever recommend this place if you visit me in NYC FEELS: Small, tight space with maybe 7 seats max. Long line and many other instagram'ers to navigate through as you attempt to photoshoot your long awaited order. FOOD: For as long as I've been a kid, I've dreamed of a good tea-flavored/infused soft serve and this place has done and surpassed it by making Oolong soft serve..and putting it with boba! You'd think the boba would become hard and nonchewy due to constriction from the ice cream temperature, but somehow they remain chewy! I'd get this over regular boba any day. (un)FUN FACT: Soft serve looks like a generous serving but it's hollow on the inside :(

Don't remember exactly what this order in the pictures was since I've been to Bar Pa Tea so often but I imagine it was the oolong tea w/ boba along with a black tea soft serve with boba and the stick biscuit thing. Anyway, both were highly delicious! This is probably one of my favorite natively NY boba places. After recently moving to California, I actually miss what they have here. There's no doubt that CA boba is much better than NY boba but Bar Pa Tea instilled in me the hope that one day NY will also be a boba powerhouse. The drink was high quality with none of that powder stuff used in place of milk. The one annoying thing was waiting for new boba to get ready if they ever ran out. Another was that I prefer slightly more milky drinks or more thicker milk used. But neither of these differences in my personal preferences would make me drop a star.

I ordered the black tea milk tea w/ mini boba and my husband ordered the matcha one. It was good but I might be kinda picky with my boba drinks. I didn't like how they don't mix it for you. You have to use your straw and mix it yourself. I'm used to the sealed top where they flip it upside down to mix and then you stick the straw in by puncturing the top. Oh the boba was pretty good. Tasted fresh.

Loveeeee this boba spot! I've been here a couple times before. The soft serve flavors have changed since the last time I came here but they were still REALLY good. I got the black tea and oolong swirl. SO TASTY. The tea flavors are pretty distinct in the soft serve and wasn't overly sweet. My friends got the matcha latte float with regular and mini bubbles. The mini bubbles are so cute and fun - I actually prefer them now over the regular ones. The bubbles here are pretty flawless and chewy. I always appreciate good bubbles. The matcha latte float comes in 50% sugar and was actually not sweet enough. Next time I get it I would adjust the sweetness to 75%. Definitely will stop by whenever I'm around!!

Hi Wennndy, Thanks for the review. We apologize for running out of bubbles during your arrival. Our bubbles are cooked fresh every two hours and sometimes we underestimate. We’re still working on better predicting this and will make sure it doesn’t happen again. It seems one of our staff made a mistake between Jasmine Green Tea (hot) and Jasmine Oolong (iced). We apologize again. Please let the staff know if we made a mistake on your order. We’re happy to replace it with the correct one. Please let us know if we can further help at Best, Bar Pa Tea

So I went for the first time to Bar Pa Tea today and I ordered a Jasmine Green Tea which on the menu only comes hot. However when I received my order it was freezing cold filled half way with large icecubes. Also at the time I was ordering they had already ran out of boba. How can a bubble tea place run out of boba that is so ridiculous and the employees didn't seem to care much about that issue. Didn't see how my bitter cold jasmine green tea was worth around $4. Plus saw the customer in front of me order the icecream with boba but she was only told that there was no boba when she received the icecream and she didn't even get much of an apology nor a discount for missing stuff from her order. Store seating space is very limited and cramped and hard to get to the front to order. I just don't see what all the hype is about this place. FYI I have been to PA Tea in union square and that was a very positive experience where the small boba was very chewy, the atmosphere was welcoming and space was well decorated with post-id notes written by customers from all over the world visiting.

Who is the genius that decided to put softserve and boba together?? (not being sarcastic) It actually is amazing. The soft serve flavors of oolong and black tea actually taste like tea with a rich flavor. The boba are also great. In the beginning, they are nicely chewy (QQ). By the end they get a little crunchy on the outside from being in the cold soft serve. Some people don't like that, but i actually liked that texture change. I just wish they had more space to sit cuz it gets crowded quickly. So, come for the tasty dessert but don't expect to be able to lounge around. Highly recommend!

I'm really picky about desserts, but Bar Pa Tea did not disappoint. I tried both the bubble tea and the soft serve and both were amazing. Rich legit tea flavor, sweet, creamy and super soft chewy boba. If you only had room for one thing I would go with the soft serve and you have the option of small or big boba or a mix of both. The shop itself is cozy and has some cute decor, a great place to catch up over some yumminess.

My husband & I love this place! We always get the black tea soft serve, with little boba on the bottom. There are a few other options for toppings like Oreo crumbs, a small biscuit, but it is so perfect on its own! If you like milk tea you'll enjoy this place! Only negative is that the shop is quite small with a few stools on the wall, a bench, and 2 tables, and the line can get long out the door, so be prepared to be in a strangers personal space.

This place smells amazing. I wish my whole house can smell like this. The scent of milk tea is intoxicating and their product is just as good as it smells. My friend took us here after dinner as he is a HUGE fan of their tea flavored ice creams. We had the black tea (with pumpkin) and it was definitely an interesting mix. The small bubbles on top are also a good combo. This place definitely has a niche and they fill it well. Excellent tea-flavored ice cream!

Bar Pa Tea- I love it! Not just for their bubble tea but mainly because of their tea flavored soft serve with bubbles. Where else can you get that? Bar Pa Tea is really popular and there is always a line. The cafe is small with just two tables, some bar stools, and a bench. Good luck on getting a space to sit. People love lounging here and taking their Instagram shots. I have tried their bubble tea and it is very strong. High in caffeine too so if you are sensitive to caffeine, be warned. The matcha lemonade is refreshing but also strong. Really, Bar Pa Tea is not for the faint of heart. But if you just want something like ice cream then I highly recommend their soft serve. Its the perfect sized serving, delicious, different, and oh so cute. I'd like to add that the artwork in the cafe is cool and the owners are very nice. They have a lot of pride in their tea choices and work hard to bring innovative bubble tea drinks to their customers.

I love Bar Pa Tea! It's a small shop but for $5.50 you can get the tastiest soft serve in either black tea, oolong tea (or both swirled) with either small or large bubbles (or both). I come here often because you can't beat the price and quality of their soft serve or the boba! Also, they have special times when they infuse the black tea with other flavors so in October their black tea soft serve is also infused with pumpkin, which is absolutely delicious! My boyfriend also loves their drinks, which are also reasonably priced too!

This is definitely my new go-to place for when I'm craving boba! I've always heard really great things about the place and I can attest that it's really as good as people say. The prices are a bit high (4.50-8.00) for a drink with boba or a soft serve but the soft, chewy boba and strong tea flavors are of really top notch quality for a treat every once in a while. I would argue that the boba is just as good as the ones I've had in Taiwan and the tea is not diluted like most other bubble tea shops. Plus the soft serve is a fun twist on your typical milk tea!

Recommend to try their bobas. It's really rare to find the small boba in nyc and also they cook it really well. It's chewy from inside out and unlike some other stores will cook it very mushy. The ice cream has rich tea flavors so if you like tea I'd definitely suggest trying that

When I heard there was a place serving bubble tea soft serve, I pictured in my head what it would taste like in an ideal world--and Bar Pa Tea completely made it come true! One fun thing about the bubble tea soft serve is that there are a lot of customization options: + FLAVOR: Black tea, oolong tea, or swirl! Both flavors are super yummy--the black tea is more mild and the oolong is sweeter--and the swirl just perfectly mixes the two into one silky smooth flavor that's deliciously packed with tea flavor and a good balance of earthiness and sweetness. + TOPPINGS: Big bubbles, mini bubbles, or both! BOTH of course! Both types of boba were really fresh and chewy--the mini boba freezes easier though after it's been sitting on the soft serve for a while and then it becomes more crunchy than chewy, which I don't really like... so, eat quickly for maximum mini boba chewiness! There are other toppings as well (i.e. Oreo cookie crumble), but so far I've only sprung for the bubbles, which they make fresh every two hours. + LOCATION OF TOPPINGS: Top, bottom... or both! I love that both is always an option! So far I've only done bubbles on top because I imagine the bubbles would freeze much faster when buried at the bottom of a cold pile of soft serve. There are a couple of promotions that they offer: + Text the code on your coupon to the number listed to earn rewards (or earn points automatically if you have the Clover app). It's 1 point per item ordered and 8 points will get you a free medium drink or soft serve (topping included) + Free item on your birthday + 10% off your first order (through the app)

Bar Pa Tea has great boba/milk tea. I got the iced matcha latte mini bubbles and oat milk. Yay for vegan. I liked it because it had a strong matcha flavour and the mini bubbles were not gigantic pearls that filled my mouth with every sip. Aesthetically, the drinks are pretty. The staff does a great job of colour blocking the drinks, contrasting the different colours of the drink. Unfortunately the soft-serve contains dairy so no bueno for vegans or lactose intolerants. They have a pretty good selection of drinks but not so many that it is overwhelming like other boba places. I definitely recommend trying Bar Pa Tea if you are a fan of boba.

I tried out this place with my friend when they had the anniversary special, it was a Blue Oolong and Rose Matcha swirl topped with chocolate powder, Oreo bits, boba, and a three tier cake pop. They were out of the Blue Oolong so they substituted it with Iron Goddess instead. That was ok with me, but what bothered me was that when I asked if they can leave the boba out because I don't like it too much they said no. What if I was allergic? So I have to either get boba on it, or not get the anniversary special at all. It would make sense if it was pre-made, but it wasn't. I proceeded to get it, very expensive I might add, and watched the server add the boba right in front of me. Ok, now onto the actual ice cream. It tasted good, and the consistency was great. I was not a fan of the cake pop though, so that was a bummer. It was way too sweet for me. Overall, I like their presentation with the ice cream, it is definitely Instagram worthy. If I come back next time, I would make my own for half the price, and not bother with the special BUT that is just me. I think most people like boba, and probably wouldn't mind the sweetness of the cake pop. Also, to anybody looking to get a seat here, the place is very small, so just something to keep in mind.

Been waiting to visit this place for a while now! Got the milk tea soft serve with regular sized boba. The milk tea soft serve was reaaalllly good! Great texture and rich tea flavor. Sucked that they left a big crevice in the middle though...but I guess that's what you get when you order a swirled ice cream :( The boba on the other hand was nothing NOTHING special. I was a bit disappointed considering this place is supposed to feature their "boba" things. The boba had no flavor whatsoever. The texture was fine...but they could have at least added some honey to the boba.

As everyone else has been saying, the portions are a bit small and expensive, but there's quality in the flavor of the soft serve and the tea. I got the swirled soft serve with large and small boba. My friend got the oolong matcha drink. She said it was good, but then she mixed the drink and the flavor got lost. The boba was perfectly sweet and chewy. The location is a bit small and can get crowded. Card friendly.

All I have to say is: WOW. This place floored me. First off, I am not the biggest connoisseur of bubble tea. Among the big boba chains like Gong Cha, Kung-Fu Tea, and Chatime, I'm largely indifferent. They all kind of seem the same. I like bubble tea, but it's not something I drink very often. Into this picture stepped Bar Pa Tea. I came here with a good friend while we were exploring downtown. The Fresh Grapefruit Yakult (with boba) drink blew me away! It was sweet with a hint of tartness, and very refreshing. It is on the sweeter side, but I have a sweet tooth so not complaining. I also tasted my friend's Matcha Green Tea with boba, and it was also very delicious. I love the boba at this place because it is just a little bit chewy and sweet, not at all soggy. We also shared the Oolong tea ice cream with boba. I've never thought to pair soft serve with boba before, but it works! The sweet boba perfectly complements the subtle, earthy tea flavor of the ice cream. What an experience! I may have to make a special trip downtown just go get some more Bar Pa Tea.

The black tea soft serve is worth the trip! It is the perfect blend of tea and cream. The portion is small for the price, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in taste and quality. This is place is close to NYU so while we were there, there was a steady stream of young people. The place is small, so not the best place for a gathering larger than 3-4 people, if you can get a seat. The bubbles/boba are fresh; I overheard a young woman at the register telling a customer that they make a batch of fresh boba every 38 minutes. So you never have to worry about boba that's been sitting around. Overall great 5 star soft serve but taking off one star due to the tight quarters.

A lot of my friends love this place, so it's definitely been on my list for a while. I was in the SoHo/Little Italy area, so finally stopped in. My friend raved about the bubble tea soft serve--I wanted to try a sample, before committing to getting an entire thing. I tried the normal black milk tea flavor and also the rose and wasn't too in love with either of these...I thought that the texture of the ice cream was perfect, but I wasn't a fan of the flavor. It was strong and bitter and didn't taste great in my opinion. I decided to order the milk latte instead (similar to milk tea) and wasn't too pleased with it either. Again, the tea flavor was super strong (which is what some people may like) and the drink wasn't sweet at all. It was super bitter and had some sour notes, which was a little strange. I definitely have had better milk tea elsewhere. Not sure if I had an off experience or maybe my taste buds aren't used to such strong teas, but I wasn't a huge fan of bar pa tea. Really cool concept though and cute space! Would recommend giving it a shot, because so many people do still love it here!

I officially have a new favorite spot for bubble tea in NYC. The menu is simple yet still with some unique items for the adventurous souls. We kept it simple and ordered the soft serve black tea ice cream with bubbles as well as the iced black tea with milk and bubbles. The soft serve was a real treat having never tried anything like it before and the iced black tea was perfectly sweetened and balanced. Highly recommended if you are looking to venture out of Chinatown (which also is home to many great bubble tea spots) for some delicious bubble tea treat.

I was a bit hesitant to try something non-dairy, because I really like my milk teas. But their grapefruit green tea with umeboshi was surprisingly good! Very refreshing with the right hint of punch - it wasn't overly sweet, and was pretty much a perfect drink. The tapioca was chewy and plain-tasting, but in this case maybe a good idea otherwise I think the drink would've been too sweet for me to handle. Another thumbs up for Bar Pa Tea! For those wondering, umeboshi are Japanese salted plums. I actually don't like salted plums but these things were the perfect complement to my grapefruit green tea! Don't be afraid to try it! One constructive criticism: I took the tea to-go, and the opening on the cap where the straw goes through is suuuper large, my tea did spill a bit in the bag on the subway - so just a reminder maybe it's best to drink your tea right away.

Came for the soft serve - and it did not disappoint!! Yay!! After reading reviews I decided to get the mixed soft serve (black tea/oolong) with large tapioca on top XD it was abbbsolutely ammmazing!! My fav type of bubble tea is usually oolong milk tea w/tapioca, whoever came up with the idea of changing the milk tea to ice cream is so innovative! Calling on all bubble tea fans to try out this sensational combination!

The soft serve ice cream is tasty and very pretty to look at. However, the tapioca does get hard very quickly and becomes tough to chew because of how cold the ice cream is. Other than that, it's a decent dessert.

Where else are you going to get boba ice cream? You're not a true New York bubble tea fanatic unless you've been here. Really enjoyed the oolong soft serve, and they give you options of regular bubbles or tiny bubbles. There is also a neon bubble tea sign here if you need something for the insta.

THE SOFY SERVE IS A MUST TRY we did the oolong and black tea swirl with mixed bubbles. The swirl is a good idea to get a mix of the flavors which turn out really well but if you just want one flavor, I'd go for the oolong tea. It has that stronger tea flavor I really like in milk tea. And I suggest you just do the small/tiny bubbles instead of mixed because it goes better with the ice cream! The big bubbles kind of overpower the ice cream so the tiny ones are perfect, some even seem frozen so it's really really good. Would definitely go back just for the soft serve. If you want milk tea, we tried the Iron Goddess Milk Tea Latte. It's that drink if you want the milk tea taste (vs some places who sell milk tea that just really taste like milk). Got it with 25% but would suggest going for 50% if you want the usual/normal sweetness, more if you're a sweet tooth. If you want a caffeine free drink, we tried the brown sugar milk with bubbles. Super good!! It is what it is, milk with brown sugar. And it is good, imagine that burnt sugar taste you get with creme brûlée then add it to milk.

SO GOOD. I ordered the Oolong and Black tea swirl. It's the perfect blend of sweet and bitterness from the oolong tea; very smooth and light! My friends swears by their mini tapioca and we're all a little perplex how it stays soft in the ice cream. I didn't try any of their bubble teas but like similar establishments, you can order your drink with adjusted sweetness and ice levels. I like that they have milk options as well: dairy, soy, and almond. There wasn't much of a line Sunday afternoon. But this store is fairly small so it's not a place where you want to hang out for a prolonged period of time.

If you like aesthetic drinks, which I think anybody buying food or drinks in this area does, you'll love the way the drinks and ice cream here look. I got the oolong tea with brown sugar and regular bubbles. It was so good! The oolong tasted simple like an unsweetened tea and the brown sugar...well it tasted like brown sugar lol. When you mix the two, it's bliss! I've never had bubble tea that taste like that. I like that they combine different flavors and don't just have the basic flavors like taro, passionfruit, or black tea. The bubble tea here is about average price. The ice cream however, is a bit expensive. It's nice that it's soft serve but I wouldn't indulge in it too often because of the price. There isn't much seating in this shop but it's not really a "dine-in" place anyway. Grab your drink and continue exploring!

AMAZING. Not to sound like every other 5-Star review, but their boba and soft serve tastes like they literally made a batch just for me. I guess they technically just did! With a countdown clock for when the next fresh batch of boba would be ready. You think Bubble Tea May be the next Pinkberry fad and fizzle out. But Bar Pa Tea elevates and produces the best quality boba that I've ever tasted. I only had their Ice Cream (a twist with large & small boba topping options), but if they can steep this tea flavor into their ice cream, I'm sure their tea drinks are just as amazing. I didn't think I was in a huge mood for ice cream, but really- don't share with a friend, get your own. Friend wasn't in the mood and inhaled it, plus most of the boba! The ice cream is smooth and light, and tastes like a cup of a flavorful black tea with milk that you've ever had.There was a line to the door when we got there 1/2 hour before closing on a Saturday night. But serving is incredibly fast. The interior is sleek white with pale pink and yellow artwork on the walls. I think they're technically in SoHo, but just a facing where Chinatown starts. You would think it would feel pretentious going in there, but quickly you will see lots of asian kids and fellow foodies instagramming their cups and cones. Thank you to the owner for the obvious care in his product, a top unique dessert spot in NYC in my opinion. The space is a bit small for the crowds it draws, but may be quaint to hang out in on a calm weekday. We found a bench near the door and a few stools on the side wall to sit. I'd recommend taking your drink or cone to go and finding a stoop or bench nearby. The walk from our dinner near Elizabeth Street was well worth it. You're Welcome.

Came here for the first time. The matcha was pretty good- not too sweet and had a good amount of matcha taste. Very good oolong/black tea twist soft serve! Has a good amount of tea flavor and semi-strong and a bit bitter. I like the option to have boba toppings. Only drawback is the bobas are not sweetened enough- a bit bland. Sweeter bobas would be better with the bitterness of the tea soft serve.

Was feeling something light and fruity, so I got the Grapefruit Green Tea with Umeboshi. I got it with only 50% sugar because I like a stronger tea flavor. The sweetness was perfect, and I really liked that it had a little grapefruit pulp in it. The umeboshi (dried plum) was a nice touch and something I haven't seen in other boba stores!

Delicious tea soft serve! I'm crazy for it. I had the swirl so I could try both flavors in one go (black tea and oolong tea). Both were so good! It had excellent tea flavor and wasn't too sweet, you could really taste the tea and I loved that so much. I also had to get the boba topping (on the bottom and top). They were cooked perfectly, so chewy and nice. I loved this little place! Would definitely come back and try their other menu items in the future.

I love bubble tea and NYC knows how to satisfy my craving. This place popped up and seems to be a trendier rendition of what SoHo would traditionally offer so I made my way inside. It's a bit hot inside but the boba variety and diverse menu allows you to swap your traditional order for something more modern. The Iron Goddess one attracted me which is a version of the oolong with less caffeine but I went with my gut instinct which was the matcha tea with mixed boba and a 50% sweetness level. The boba was tiny and large when poured and didn't lack aesthetic feel yet I wish they had more variety in flavors because the taro one should've been featured without a doubt. They have a rewards program which is easy to sign up to and comes with a code printed on your receipt. I do suggest mixing your drink to break the flavor profiles and properly mix both to create a cohesive flavor. It's definitely a trendy spot catering to the young folk in the area while offering a traditionally Asian product in an American form. Next time, I'd get the beet root added for a nominal 45 cents to make my drink pink.

From the moment stepping into the store, the place smelled so fragrant that we were like this tea has to be good and we were quite excited to try. I ordered a green tea latte, while my friends ordered a oolong tea latte, and an iron goddess tea latte. We all got 50% sweetness and less ice. I personally thought 50% was too sweet, but I think they just went heavy handed on that one drink because when I tried my friends they were fine. What surprised me the most is that this spot even had oat milk as a milk substitute on the menu, but unfortunately they were out of it when we had arrived. Overall I don't think its anything to rave about, but still a solid spot.

I came here for the milk tea soft serve and it's definitely pretty good. It was mid-afternoon and the line was already at the door, so the wait took a while, but the line moved quick enough since it doesn't take too long since there's a lot of staff working. I tried the black milk tea and it has a good taste and good consistency because even though it was an extremely hot day and it was melting the soft serve still was able to hold it's shape. I wouldn't mind coming here again to try the other milk teas, but I wouldn't wait if the line is long since there are other bubble tea/dessert shops in the area.

There aren't very many seats inside and the ones they do have are usually taken but if you wait a couple of mins you'll prob score some seats. I tried the swirl boba ice cream and it was amazing. I'm a fan of milk tea and bubble tea in general but this is on a different level. It's one of the best ice creams I've had and is pretty with the mini boba and super instagrammable.

Obsessed. Best boba in NYC. Iron Goddess Tea Latte is the best. The lines can be long, but it's worth it. Perfect combination of milk and tea.

Ordered swirl ice cream w/ mixed bubbles. Highly recommend oolong ice cream, it has more bitter tea taste and less sweeter than black tea.

I'm disappointed that the old Pa Tea closed down; it was one of my favorite spots in NYC. This is hardly an adequate replacement for it. Now the drinks and dessert they sell are quite good, but everything is much more expensive here now, without enough differentiating it to justify the price. Gone is the Chinese menu with dozens of options, and in with a modern menu written in a font that looks like it belongs in a Michelin-starred restaurant. I had the matcha milk tea with matcha ice cream; it was good but not worth the price.

Whoever thought of bubble tea soft serve is genius and there needs to be more locations of this place! The place is very small and there is always a line so expect a wait. I ordered the oolong tea and my friend got the black tea--both were excellent in flavor and I looved the small tapioca pearls! I will definitely be back for more of the soft serve but also to try some of their drinks.

Customer service was nice. The cashier actually walked me through of how to order on my first time there. One thing I didn't like was I ordered ice cream, they gave the last ice cream to the person who was after me and served a drink to the next person who was after me so I got up to ask and that's when they told me that I have to wait 2-3 more minutes for them to make fresh ice cream. I know it's normal when supplies runs out but it just didn't make sense to me that they gave the last serve to the person after me.. The ice cream was pretty unique. I've never tried tea ice cream before but this got me hooked on. Will definitely go again.

3 1/2 Stars I ordered 3 iron goddess tea lattes. The price wasn't too high but it's definitely not cheap either: $4.25 for a medium. The line was out the door, and it took about 15 minutes before we we able to order and probably another 5 minutes to get our order, but I went on a Sunday afternoon so maybe that's why. We ordered the lattes with mini bubbles but they said they ran out of the minis after we had paid (bummer!) since that was what we came for really. The drinks looked really nice with the separation between the tea, milk, and boba, but they weren't really my cup of tea per se (pun intended). I would recommend this if you're a tea lover and enjoy the strong tea taste, but I personally don't find it sweet enough (the only sweetness you get is from the boba). Overall, the store has a nice ambiance but it's far too crowded and the taste was too mediocre to justify the hype and wait time.

This place is super tiny but super cute. They have one or two places to sit but it is most likely going to be occupied. They also have a cute neon sign for selfies. I got the grapefruit and green tea and it was really good. I am not a bubble tea connoisseur so I can't compare but I recommend this place.
