Just wow! Highlight of my entire weekend trip in New York. A typical shop in NYC with very limited seating inside with simple, but nice decor. Limited menu that offers tea (lattes) and two flavors of soft serve ice cream. The pricing is very fair and while the drinks are delicious, the soft serve was AMAZING. The flavors here are so fresh and balanced and their tapioca boba is made perfectly. You can see the staff brewing their teas right behind the counter. The staff is friendly and efficient. I cannot get over how delicious the soft serve was and am looking forward to coming back just for it.

I ordered the swirl soft serve with oreo crumbles and two mini stroopwafels and it is my favorite ice cream right now! Though the stroopwafel was a bit stale because they leave it unwrapped in their topping container, the soft serve tastes exactly like milk tea! I would definitely recommend it!

Green Tea Latte: 4/5 stars Bubbles: 3/5 stars Overall: 3.5/5 stars I was craving bubble tea and I have had this place bookmarked for awhile. What had me interested in this place was mainly that they made matcha lattes and their take on oolong soft serve ice cream. The decor of their shop was really modern and I liked their color theme: black, white and baby pink. I was debating between oolong matcha or green tea. I asked the girl at the register and she recommended the green tea because it's less stronger in taste and in caffeine content than the oolong. I decided to go with her recommendation and also ordered mixed bubbles (mini & regular big bubbles). I enjoyed that they serve the beverage to you before it is stirred so you can snap a picture before you stir the milk and matcha together. The matcha was freshly whisked and blended well together, unlike some spots I've been to and definitely satisfied my matcha craving. I ordered my drink with regular milk and regular sugar level which the girl explained was 50% sugar. But the bubbles on the other hand were quite terrible. They were not made with caramel or honey like most bubble tea stores. They were chewy but starchy and tasteless. I would recommend them having an adzuki red bean option or just simply make the bubbles with some type of sweetener.

The store is too small. The tea ice cream is not that sweet. You can't really see it's a swirl favor. Both favors have similar colors. The ice cream is kinda average for me. Small boba is a bit tough to chew. A little bit pricey for this small cup ice cream. Fun to try it once. That's it.

There's basically two flavors to try here, oolong and black tea. I ended up trying the oolong tea and the black tea ice cream. How was it? It was good. The oolong is so light of a flavor compared to the black tea. The soft serve is really creamy and you can add some mixed bubbles (small + large). The small don't taste that great, but really great for photos. It is interesting to try other tea flavors in soft serve (not just green tea) and it is less sweet than other flavors which is nice.

For all the milk tea boba lovers, the soft serve does not disappoint. The soft serve tasted just like tea and having boba both on top and at the bottom made the experience a lot more fun. The flavor of tea was very strong but not overpowering and the contrasted texture of boba with soft serve was just right. This is the place to go if you want refreshing drinks and soft serve on a hot day.

Finally stopped in this weekend after seeing this soft serve all over Instagram, and I have to say...I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Their drinks and ice creams are so creative and unique. I got the soft serve swirl, which was black tea and iron goddess together. The flavors definitely blended together and I really couldn't tell which was which, but it didn't matter to me because it was delicious. I also got bubbles and oreo crumbles on my ice cream, super yummy! We went on a rainy Sunday and it was very very crowded, the line was out the door, but it was also Memorial day weekend so it may have been busier than usual with tourists. Service was very fast and friendly, they are really efficient. Next time I want to go back to try the matcha float or their pink teas!

Service: 4/5 Food/Drinks: 4/5 Came here recently on a super hot day with a few friends, and boy, it was crowded. The place itself is relatively small with a few chairs and a couple of tables. I ordered the Grapefruit Green Tea with Umeboshi, and I absolutely loved it. The only downside was that it was a little too sweet for my own taste, and you cannot change the standard sweetness level. However, it was still great! I got to try my friend's order of the Iron Goddess Tea (Tie Guan Yin) soft serve with the bubbles, and I must say, I'm dying to come back here to get a cup of my own. The soft serve is unique in flavor and great in taste. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

Hands down the best black milk teas!! I recommend the milk tea with 100% sugar because the default is already 50%. I think it's best when it's sweeter but it's your preference. Prices range from $4-7.. btw the milk teas are called lattes which was interesting because I never heard of that before. The prices are fairly inexpensive and the staff was super friendly. This was a small place and I really liked how they have a variety of flavors. I also recommend the swirl soft swerve! It was one of those ice creams with really rich textures and it was not disappointing. I would most definitely try this place whenever I am in New York again. This place is a must go to! They also have the cutest uniforms, overall I like the atmosphere and the location was great. Nothing beats any better milk teas places then Bar Pa Tea!

Super cute place. The tea-flavored ice creams are bomb, the bubbles are perfect, and the staff is super friendly. I'm personally not a fan of the lattes because I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to bubble tea, but there's plenty of other great options.

Such a great idea! I love tea flavored ice creams, and oolong milk tea is my favorite milk tea flavor! I got the oolong soft serve with boba bubbles. It makes for an amazing dessert. I wish they give a bit more boba though, because I love the chewiness of it with the soft serve. Overall, though, very aesthetic (ice-cream and the store) and I'd come back!

The ice cream swirl is not your typical swirl! They had two flavors: oolong and black tea. The swirl combines it so that you can't really distinguish between the oolong and black tea. So not like the typical swirl at McDonalds where you can distinctly taste the diff between chocolate and vanilla. I wish I had just ordered one of each flavor instead so I can taste the distinct difference. I also found the soft serve to be too sweet. I wish they reduce the sugar content and make the emphasis on the tea instead. For the asian palate, I think most people will find this dessert too sweet. However, I love that they have both standard and mini tapioca as an option to add to your soft serve. Bubbles and ice cream?! I'm sold, even if it is too sweet and I can't taste the distinct tea flavor. Since the store is really small, there isn't that many places to sit. We sat by the only table near the cash register, and it felt very cramped with the influx of people coming in on a Friday night.

This place is pure genius - I LOVE IT. It's a cute little place and the folks behind the counter are super nice and patient. Couldn't decide so I got the swirl - oolong and black tea. Ugh so good, nothing else to say. The baby pearls are a cute little touch too. BEAUTY IN THE DETAILS!! Docked a star because the ice cream is hollow once you eat the top and want to dig in to the rest. Aka it's deceiving for the amount of ice cream you're getting since it's pretty pricey (but worth it).

The rave for this place is real! When we got here, there was a little line. Granted the place is the size of a 4x4 square; okay bigger than that but extremely small in size. It's pretty much more of a take out and go, not really for the staying to eat. I ended up getting the swirl soft swirl with mixed bubbles in a cup. Sooo good, the ice cream itself wasn't too sweet but I think the bubbles did the trick. I also got the salted Carmel oolong with pink powder but I have to say wasn't quite the fan of their drinks compared to their soft serve. I found that their drinks were a little more on the bland side. Their soft serve is definitely a must try!

I ordered the Oolong Latte with Mixed pearls (half sweet) It was very delicious and servers were nice! I could taste the oolong really well bc the milk wasn't very overpowering at all. The pearls were chewy but I prefer the normal pearls if you want to chew on pearls. I also tried the Iron Goddess Softserve and that was very delicious as well. Highly recommend! Pretty authentic tea I would say.

First time here! It's not bad for someone's who has never had milk tea ice cream before. If you're a boba or bubble tea lover, this place is great to try at least once! I was confused to put the "bubbles" aka boba on the top or the bottom and you can get them small or regular size, but i feel like the mini boba is too small that I'd prefer the regular one. Price isn't too bad. $4.75 and order came out pretty fast! I was fascinated by the "bubbles" or boba being brown, supposed to be black like in the drink? It wasn't amazing bomb but pretty good.

Went back to Bar Pa Tea for their ice cream. I got the Iron Goddess with black tea (mix). I really like the ice cream tea flavors because it tastes like actually drinks. It tastes slightly a like but the iron goddess gave a little bitter and not sweet taste than the black tea. The way to describe the iron goddess is like a sweet condense coffee (which I really like).

The matcha green tea latte was ok. It wasn't strong or bitter (I think it's because I tried more bitter matcha before. So this is not the first time trying Matcha drinks) If it your first time trying Matcha drinks, then this might be good. I tried my friend drinks- Iron Goddess, the way to describe this drinks is that it tastes like coffee, but a good coffee (not bitter, like sweet coffee) I would get that, since it's different from other bubble tea places. They give out code after you pay (1 points reward) I think if you get 6 points, you get s free medium drink or soft serve (topping included) -tax -less sitting

Really delicious tea flavored soft serve. Both the milk tea and oolong flavors are good. It gets extremely crowded and there's very little seating though.

I love love love Bar Pa Tea!!! I'm from CT and came to visit NYC and Bar Pa Tea was one of my stops. I am a HUGE lover of bubble tea and let me tell you I was in heaven at Bar Pa Tea. Their bubble teas are amazing and I love how they are customizable and you can change the sweetness or add some color etc. This is the first time I tried bubble tea ice cream and it is one of the most amazing things ever created I want more so bad!! They should definitely branch out and open up business in CT they would do so well and I would be able to go all the time. Come to CT!!!

TFW you feel like you're the oldest person in the room. So yeah... Stopped in here late on a Friday afternoon. And I swear, it looked like the local high school just let out. A high school that specializes in teaching adorable, giggly girls how to how to write cute captions and take like-worthy pics for the 'gram. Once I recovered from that, I had to contend with the fact that I was standing in a long-a** line that wasn't moving very quickly, inside a hot, airless space that pretty much felt like the stuff of nightmares. To while away the time, I checked out what everyone else was ordering and I spotted A LOT of soft serve twists in cups, encircled with small boba on the top and layered with big boba on the bottom. Does that sound dirty, or is it just me? Anyway, when it was finally my turn to order, I found myself uttering the equivalent of, "I'll have what they're having." FTR, I don't usually cave to peer pressure like this. Case in point: I have heard myself admonishing my kid with variations of the time honored, " If all your friends jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you, too?" on more than one occasion. But just this once, following the crowd felt like the smart thing to do. I wound up with an Oolong & Black Tea Twist, with boba, just as I described. Couldn't really distinguish between the two different tea flavors, but I could pick up hints of bitterness and it wasn't overly sweet. Delicious! And once I began eating, I could understand the logic behind requesting small boba along the top. I think this was probably less awkward to spoon up than the bigger ones would have been. Since as I mentioned, the space feels claustrophobic AF and there really isn't much seating anyway, I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there to enjoy my ice cream. Luckily, there were plenty of benches to do just that in a small park, Petrosino Square, I believe, right down the block, headed west. Bottom line: Loved the ice cream. Hated the ordeal of ordering it. But since deliciousness ultimately trumps all in my world, five stars it is.

They're boba drink at 1/5 starts. Not good, not sweet, very place, not delicious at all. I've gotta. Two different drinks. But that ice cream was to die for. I got the mixed one, can't remember the flavors but would go back for it for sure. I'll try another drink, third time is the charm but I was thoroughly disappointed the twice I went and would rate the place 1 star if it weren't for that BOMB ice cream.

Lets see if i go back, I ordered the swirl soft serve, which was i think was just two different flavors of tea. It not sure how much I enjoyed it because I don't think about it ofter . It was nice to try/see something different from soft serve and I was into it, but since I haven't even thought of returning it clearly wasn't memorable to me. The space itself is a cute modern/minimal almost french themed kind of set up. If I remember or pass by again I will actually try the bubble tea (what they are actually there for). But so far I'm feeling ehh

This place is a jem! I LOVE tea flavored ice cream and this place makes amazing oolong and black tea soft serve! I had the chance to try the rose green tea soft serve on valentine's day and at first the flavor is a bit unexpected but it is one of those flavors the grows on you the more you consume it! I am obessed with this place! The drinks are so unique with all the variations of flavors. I like the mini bubbles it makes the bubble tea experience better for me personally. The grapefruit green tea is very refreshing. The oolong with blacl sugar is quite nice and the goddess latte is pretty darn good. I am trying to make my way through the menu! The space is small but it is cute! The staff is super friendly! All tea lovers should check this place out!

Forget about bubble tea. Let me tell ya, the oolong tea/black tea swirl changed my life. If there was a way to buy this stuff in grocery stores, I'm convinced I'd never buy Halotop again. It was so good I forced myself back on the N train on the last night of our trip just to indulge in the deliciousness that is the soft serve. So creamy. The Goldilocks "just right" level of sweetness. I honestly don't know what else I can say to get you to try this stuff. Just order it, okay? My bf got their bubble team and liked it. Cute, clean spot but not many seats, I'd recommend taking your drinks to go if possible.

I am a fan! I had this place booked marked for a while and finally got to try it last night. I love how strong the tea taste is in both their ice cream and their drinks and their tapioca is so much better than the typical black ones you get in bubble tea. There is finally an alternative to soft swerve. If you are a tea lover and enjoy soft serve like me I would highly recommend this place, it is definitely small and there is limited seating and no bathroom.

This place was suprisingly packed on Sunday night around 7pm. I got the oolong and black tea swirl soft serve with tapioca on the bottom and cookie crumbs on top. It was very good! The black tea flavor was stronger than the oolong. It wasn't too sweet. The bubbles were super soft and chewy. I'd recommend it if you like bubble tea cause it's essentially just that but in a different form. Good concept. Ill be returning for their drinks next time which also looked good.

Bar pa tea has amazing soft serve ice cream! The tea flavor of the ice cream is strong and delicious! I really love the oolong ice cream with bubbles. It's seriously so good! Every time I have it, I forget how good it is and am amazed how tasty it is. Their bubble tea is great too. I like how there are options to change the sweetness of the tea and change the type of milk because I prefer soy or almond milk. The service is great too! One time I forgot to mention to use soy milk. I felt really bad, but they were really nice about it and made my drink again with soy milk. They also have a rewards program every 7 drinks or ice cream, you get one free. I highly recommend this place! I can't wait to go back!

Why didn't anyone think of this earlier?? Why has it taken me so long to try this place?! First off I love green tea soft serve so the thought of more had me from the get-go. Oolong and black tea soft serve are AWESOME! Along with the fresh bubbles they make, it's a perfect combo for this crazy weather. The lattes are also pretty damn amazing, don't sleep on the bubbles. It makes everything better.

What a great idea to mix bubble tea and soft serve together! They have a choice of black tea, oolong tea, or mix for the soft serve Icecream. I had the mix soft serve and it was very good! The Icecream has a strong tea flavor and make sure to get bubbles. The bubbles they make here are delicious and chewy. I also tried their oolong milk latte which was good but if I had to choose between the soft serve or the iced latte, I would def choose the soft serve.

Holy cow. This place is definitely worth the hype! They have really great tea, boba, and ice cream! My friends and I ordered a large oolong tea bubble tea as well as black tea soft serve with small bubbles. It was totally worth the wait! The area inside the store is small so it's hard to get a seat especially when the weather is nice. The flavor of the oolong tea was strong but not bitter and overpowering. We all loved the tea and the boba. The soft serve was amazing!!! It wasn't as milky as I thought it would be, and the flavor of the black tea could still be tasted. Will definitely be coming back!

I personally dont eat dessert(poison) but im asian and boba runs in my blood so its fine. I initially saw this place in a thrillist video highlighting boba & soft serve at the same time. I was hooked and my inner (male) ABG was screaming. This little shop was pretty tiny and I thought it was pretty cool how they had a timer on when fresh boba was being made. I attempted the soft serve boba and it was alright. Basically exactly what you expected it to be. I'd recommend trying it out! It's an interesting concept thats worth the poison consumption!

I liked my match latte. it was a good size. The flavor was subtle but it was steamed to perfection with almond milk. I liked the concept overall. It's a cute spot. There aren't enough seats for the amount of foot traffic that they get tho. As a good New Yorker, I must warm you to avoid this place on the weekends, unless you really don't mind being around screaming basic high schoolers. Would stop by again, during the week, to try their boba topped ice cream because it looks good. Nice staff.

YUM. I got the swirl soft serve (mix of black tea and oolong tea) - the oolong is pretty strong, so you end up mostly tasting the oolong (which is totally fine). The soft serve is a decent size and was not hollow in the middle (I hate when people skimp out on ice cream this way), which I appreciate. I also got this with mixed boba (normal and mini) - I would say the mini tastes better with the soft serve. I really love the taste and texture of the actual boba here as well - it tastes a bit more tea-like rather than pure sugar (maybe they're using longan honey or something). I'm usually a stickler for the texture of boba, and this ranks high on my list. I also got the brown sugar oolong tea latte with boba @ 50% sweet, less milk / more tea. Be sure to stir IMMEDIATELY if you order this cold - the brown sugar apparently isn't mixed thoroughly with the tea, so you actually have a VERY sugary sedimentary layer of brown sugar at the bottom of the cup that isn't dissolved. MIX THOROUGHLY. 50% sweet is on point for me! Oreo milk shake: when you think milk shake, you're thinking ice creamy goodness - a thick shake. However, the oreo milk shake here is a bit on the lighter side - very liquid-y, and actually not too sweet. Personally, I will stick with the soft serve with boba here in the future, as that was my favorite part. Their original store, Pa Tea, is actually my favorite bubble tea shop with the stubby cup, so I'll stick with that for my bubble tea needs. I wish they would share the boba from Bar Pa Tea with Pa Tea, though (it tastes fresher and more flavorful).

This is the best Boba tea I have in NYC. I ordered regular sugar and it is not too sweet. Recommend the Matcha Latte.

This is the most rip off, fakest, over priced, deceitful, garbage quality ice cream I've ever had. The first time I purchased their oolong black tea fusion ice cream, it tasted fine, today, I tried their oolong ice cream and I was highly disastified with the quality, so much, it forced me to express my disappointment and disatisfication for you, my Yelp friend. I'm here to warn you to stay away from this trash, why? Because the ice cream tasted overly sweet and grainy like sand that melts in your mouth kind of bad. A hole within the ice cream, I'm paying for air too. Yes air. Please look at the photo attached. 50% of the cost is for high quality cold air that will surprise you on your first scoop. Enjoy the air and grainy ice cream at your own risk

Hi Just, We really appreciate you taking time to write this review. Our deepest apologies that you felt cheated; that is definitely not our intentions when any customer leaves our store. We are looking for ways to improve and will take this into consideration. However, given our cup shape/size, our swirls need to accommodate both bubbles as a topping and to prevent the soft serve from falling, and we realized this is best achieved with a bigger circumference of the layered swirls, hence the shape and the hollowness. We hope this is understandable as we work to improve. We hope you can give us another try. Best, Bar Pa Tea

They cheapened out on the ingredients from the last time I came here. Soft-serve now is so hollow inside, texture tastes grainy because they use cheap powder milk instead real milk, and it is so sweet. I come here every three months and after today I will never come back. Hyped up by Business Insider. Not worth $5 for the soft-serve. The bubbles are crazily chewy, tasting like gum. If you have been to places like Carvel, this will taste like ice to you. Totally disappointed. Really crowded. Can't breathe when I was there eating. Tiny space with little space for anyone

Bubble tea soft swirl ice-cream? Genius idea and perfectly executed. The soft serve had strong oolong tea flavor and it was so creamy. I loved every bite of it. In addition you can add fun toppings such as pretzel twists, Tapiaco balls, stroople waffle, and etc For the bubble tea I had the matcha and the brown sugar oolong tea. I love the ombré look of the bubble tea- makes it look so pretty. Matcha tea is stronger in tea flavor and the brown sugar oolong tea was sweeter. The unique thing is you can choose what size bubbles small or large. The bubbles itself was very fresh and chewy. All of the bubble teas are naturally sweetened with cane and brown sugar so it didn't taste artificially sweet. Overall, I really enjoyed the bubble tea and I feel like bar pa tea really elevated the bubble tea experience.

Hi Emily, Thanks for taking time to write this review. We are so sorry we did not meet your expectations. Due to the shape of our cups to best accommodate for bubbles as a topping and to make sure the soft serve does not fall over, the swirled shape does create a hollowness. Our soft serve is also made from fresh farm whole milk, quality oolong tea/black tea, and premium ice cream base. We assure you we do not add any extra sugar. We also apologize for the space but please understand weekends are more busy than weekdays. Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do right now to increase our size. We hope you can give us another try. Best, Bar Pa Tea

I'm so obsessed with their soft serve. It's like my two favorite things together-boba and ice cream. Get it with small and large bubbles as the two texture complement each other. I usually hate small bubbles in tea, but they taste really good in soft serve. The soft serve is sweet, but not overly sweet like Kith or other dessert places. You can also taste the tea although it would be nicer if it's stronger. Haven't tried their drinks yet, but there a lot of good boba places and I only know one that serve boba soft serve so I might just stick to the soft serve when I'm near by.

I have my ride-or-die boba place but thought I'd try this out for a change. Their little place on Kenmare st. in SoHo is nice and very minimalistic although cramped up especially this Sunday afternoon. I tried the iced matcha green tea latté which is $4.50 for the medium size. Their medium is actually pretty big compared to my usual place. For 50 cents you can choose either normal or mini bubbles or a combination of both. I LOVE MATCHA although the tea component is more dominant in this drink. People who don't like the taste of tea that much would probably not like this. It tastes a bit perfume-y if I'm being honest. On a semi-good note, they offer almond milk in lieu of regular but don't advertise it on the menu. I had to ask for it for me to know. They also do soft serves which I may try next time.

I am BLOWN AWAY by the black tea soft serve. It tastes just like a delicious milk tea and with the boba add ons it's the perfect ice cream! I also am pretty picky when it comes to ice cream and boba consistency (which was perfectly chewy). It was so yummy that I woke up craving another one. Highly recommend to anyone! Also, my friend ordered a salted caramel oolong tea latte which tasted so good! We both agreed that we loved the items we got because they weren't overly sweet. Can't wait to go back. The staff were superb - very friendly, and the decor in cafe is so cute. They change the art inside often so there's always something new and fresh to look at.

My friend kept dragging how great their bubble teas and soft serve. Therefore, I had to try it. The bubble tea shop was a good size and decor was young modern. I love the drawings on the wall and overall set up. There were few people already ordered and waiting for their bubble teas, but some just enjoying their bubble teas and having a great conversation amount with their friends. It felt relaxing and comfortable ambiance. We ordered matcha lemonade and they were fresh made. We were impressed how flavorful and refreshing. We also loved their mixed bubble, they were perfect size and not hard or soft; perfect combination for the tea. Totally love this bubble tea shop and next visit we will try their exotic soft serve favor.

After seeing many posts and noticing this semi new spot for some time, we decided to come see what all the buzz and hype was about since we were in the city anyway! We came last Saturday which was the perfect weather for bubble tea/soft serve and the line was out the door! The store itself was not super spacious so it was a little tough from standing in line to waiting around to get your order but it is what it is. Their menu is pretty simple, mostly oolong based tea with your choice of added flavors. We got the oolong matcha tea latte, brown sugar oolong tea latte and a mixed soft serve of black tea and oolong tea with little bubbles. The prices of their menu items is $$ I'd say- slightly more expensive than you Kftea or Coco's spot but I guess they pride themselves with their quality so not complaining. Three items totaled to around $15-16. The service was quite efficient and the wait wasn't too long which was great! I was SO excited to get my soft serve! It was really good and you taste the pungent tea flavors which was great! They added bubbles to the bottom and top of my soft serve (something you can request/they ask for your preference) so there was bubbles in every bite of soft serve! 5/5! Loved it! My boyfriend got the brown sugar oolong latte which was pretty good and it actually tasted similar to the soft serve! The oolong matcha latte, according to the brother, was not sweetened. I guess most match drinks are not sweetened unless requested? He said that was just okay. Overall experience was pretty good! They have perks- buy 7 items (of anything) and you get a drink or soft serve for free. You have to download an app but why not!? Will be back!

Several of my friends raved about the soft serve here and having only tried their hot tea w. bubbles I had to give the soft serve a try. I had the black tea soft serve with regular sized bubbles. I liked how the bubbles were soft and chewy so you can tell it wasn't sitting in the pot hardening. The soft serve definitely had a tea flavor. I did find some ice-y bits in my soft serve so I wouldn't say this is the perfect serving but it is worth it if you need to satisfy a sweet tooth craving!

I got the oolong matcha green latte and the black tea soft serve with mini boba. The tea was really good and the black tea soft serve was amazing, especially on a hot day. Tips for future-goers: get the boba around the soft serve, instead of the bottom... you will be stuck with an imbalanced ratio of soft serve & boba like me (lol). It is a small, packed place with a line outside the door. So, the wait was about 20 minutes. I'm only giving this place a lower star rating because customer service was terrible. I received the wrong order and when I asked for the correct one, they told me that the cashier charged me for the INCORRECT order and that I would need to pay an additional $0.27 to get my CORRECT order. Definitely upset that I needed to be hassled for only $0.27 just to get my correct order when it wasn't my fault for being charged incorrectly.

I love tea ice creams and soft serve. This place is my ideal for the real tea soft serve and great bubbles (plus great instagram worthy photos). I thought the black tea and the oolong were great so I got the swirl with mixed bubbles. I took a photo and enjoyed each spoonful of my soft serve. Bubbles were flavored with good texture. This place was crowded during my visit with very minimal sitting (maybe 8 seats total). Hopefully with the warmer weather there will be no need for inside coverage from the cold. I will be back.

Hi Christina, Thanks for visiting and taking time to write this review. We offer the options of mini bubbles, big bubbles, or mix bubbles. From your picture, it seems you opted for mix bubbles which should be accompanied with our wider straws. We apologize for the confusion and we hope this helps! Best, Bar Pa Tea

After seeing so many photos of their tea soft serve, I finally stopped by to try some myself. I got the black tea soft serve with bubbles on the top and bottom. The black tea flavor was very much present and it tasted great! You'll enjoy the tea soft serve if you enjoy tea-flavored things. Texture of the bubbles was also perfect. Bar Pa Tea is a good choice for a refreshing dessert or snack.

Oh my goodness, I just love Bar Pa Tea so much. It's my favorite place to go to when I'm with my friends. The last time I went was the day before Valentine's Day and I was lucky enough to get the Rose Green Tea soft serve. It was DELICIOUS. You can legit taste the strong tea flavor like no kidding lol. This time I revisited got the Green Tea Matcha Float and Black Tea soft serve. Yum.

Great soft serve ice cream in oolong and black tea. In comparison, I love the oolong more. It is not sweet and goes fascinatingly well with oreo and honey braided twist. If you like milk tea, you would love their ice cream!

I first saw this place on Instagram and knew it was a must-try when I saw two of my favorite things combined: tapioca and caffeinated ice cream. I walked in wanting an oolong soft serve, but that was substituted with rose green tea during Easter so I ended up getting black tea after trying both flavors: rose green tea and black tea. I liked both equally, but chose black tea because my boyfriend liked that more. It was just right for me - not too sweet and the tea flavor was there. YES black tea soft serve has tea flavor! I got mixed bubbles (a combination of regular and mini bubbles), however some tapiocas weren't fully cooked. My boyfriend got the brown sugar oolong tea latte. Didn't taste the oolong, it was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. If you like brown sugar in your bubble tea then this is for you. I was still really excited for the oolong soft serve the second time around only to be disappointed. I also did not taste the oolong here and it was a bit too sweet for my liking. Will I be back? Yes! I love their black tea soft serve with tapioca and I want to try their other drinks. There's also a reward system where you can get a free medium drink or soft serve with toppings after purchasing 7.

Soft serve milk tea is the food trend we all wanted! Bar pa tea was cute and super Instagram-friendly. Though I enjoyed my oolong tea soft serve with boba and chopped chocolate cookies toppings, I wasn't super impressed and had anticipated a stronger oolong flavor. Overall, I'd recommend trying it out for yourself.

Soft serve and boba, who would've thought? So ingenious. It finally felt like Spring yet still a bit brisk, definitely not warm enough for anything cold. Yet, I walked over and saw a line that continued outside and I thought to myself, is it worth the wait? It must be. Why would anyone choose to brave the chilly winds outside for a cup of their soft serve? So I waited, and waited. The line moved somewhat, moderately fast. But not fast enough imo. I ordered the rose green and black tea soft serve with small bubbles. You can ask them to put the bubbles on top, bottom or both. Go with both. There's also various toppings to choose from so go with whatever floats your boat. I personally liked the black tea over the rose green. If you like the taste of floral things, then obviously rose green is the one for you. But you can't go wrong with the classic flavor of black tea so if you're hesitant to try anything else, go with this one. The flavor of the soft serve was rich, just enough to balance it out with the bubbles aka boba, which were fresh and chewy. You can look at the timer near the menu on top to see when the next fresh batch will be made. I haven't tried their drinks yet but I am intrigued by some of their flavor options. Btw, enough seating for about 10 people at max. It's a bit crammed with the line and I'm hoping that they get a bigger space. Also, I want to note that the soft serve melts hella fast. So get your pics and boomerangs as soon as they hand them over to you for your various social media platforms before you're left with a big puddle in your cup. I'm not sure if I'm willing to wait on a line again to try their other stuff but I'll definitely poke my head in next time it's guaranteed that I can grab and go real quick.

I am a huge fan of oolong, so once I found a place that serves it in soft serve, I knew I had to check it out! They also have soft serve in black tea, and they were both very good and definitely had the tea taste!! They also give you a lot for about $5-6. I did not try their drinks, but highly recommend this place for their tea flavored soft serve!

Delicious tea and soft serve! I don't know what I was so surprised that black milk tea soft serve ice cream would taste exactly like black tea milk tea.... because it's liquid form is already perfect to turn into ice cream. Also I like that their drinks are made with 50% sugar level. None of the drinks on their menu will ever come to you cloyingly sweet so that's a big plus. They also put a lot of attention into the making of all their drinks and the owner seems really friendly! So glad to have this in the neighborhood.

Follow me as I stuff my dessert belly in NYC... I felt like I HAD to visit here especially since everyone I knew was snapchatting Bar Pa Tea for a period of time. I hopped on the tea-flavored soft serve train while visiting the city around the holidays. It was pretty worth it. I ordered the oolong soft serve with tapioca pearls on the bottom and crushed oreos on top. The choosing of my toppings is OBVIOUSLY based on what looks the most aesthetic. I have no shame or regrets because it tasted great. I love oolong tea in its truest form and appreciate it being incorporated into a dessert. It's not an overpowering tea flavor nor is it too sweet. I can say its one of my favorite flavors of tea ice cream other than the basic matcha. Of all the crazed dessert places in NY sprouting up, I can recommend Bar Pa Tea as one that's worth the hype.

Love their tea soft serve. Not sure if it's actually low on sugar but it tastes like it is! I like that it's subtle in flavor and not overly rich or sweet. I've had the rose green tea soft serve with bubbles and crushed Oreos and it was delicious. Will probably go with just the tapioca bubbles next time. Their bubble tea is pretty good too and customizable in terms of sweetness like most options at this point in the city. I'd say it's comparable to boba guys and a good alternative if you're closer to this location vs a boba guys. Don't expect to eat here comfortably btw- it's a small shop and if there's a line it'll feel pretty crowded. I'll probably come back when weather is better and it won't feel too cold to just take it outside / walk around the area.

Typical bubble tea space with relatively few seats and can tend to be semi crowded. The staff were helpful and quite meticulous when apply detail. However they don't let you add toppings to the drinks, only for soft serve. Grapefruit Green Tea with Umeboshi ($4.50)- 4/5 Pretty average bubble tea, it was good and certainly fixed my craving for bubble tea. Umeboshi in the tea was surely unique... I usually eat those when I eat nasty medicine anyways.. Oolong Matcha Tea ($4.25)- 3.5/5 My friend got this with the mixed boba and I wasn't really feeling it for some reason. I like the big bobas. Drinks again, was average but pretty.

I might give Bar Pa Tea better rating if it wasn't too crowded here... i felt so stuffed and even suffocated when eating here. There were too many people in such a small space that I couldn't go anywhere without having to make contact with other people. The soft serves were alright- I think the bubbles made it phenomenal, not the ice cream itself. I liked the fact that they incorporated boba into soft serves, cuz honestly boba makes all desserts better. I actually like the regular, bigger size boba than the mini ones cuz I want to feel the sweetness and chewbiness of boba when eating it. With the small ones, I just swallowed them instantly. I had the Oolong flavor, which was OK- a bit too sweet for me. The Black Tea was definitely better if you don't want your ice cream too sweet like me. Overall, I don't understand the boba ice cream hype... the soft serves were so average? For service, I need to give 5 stars to Ba Par Tea! love the staff here! The girl at the cashier was extremely attentive to us. Despite the crazy crowds lining up to get their soft serves, she still remembered to get us 4 cups of water ;__;

Seeing so many instagram photos and people raving about this place I had to try it out myself! I learned the mistake of going on the weekend- it was super packed! I ordered a oolong tea soft swerve with big boba and the black tea soft swerve with combination of small and big boba. Shoutout to the staff who recommended that it would be best to have the bobas on top rather than on the bottom! I would have to say I definitely liked the ice cream and the whole concept of having boba with it. I like the oolong soft swerve better than the black tea. I think the oolong flavor was more stronger which that is how I usually drink my oolong tea (I like it strong) and the black tea was eh okay (didn't have as strong of a flavor). The boba was super chewy and perfect! I'm a fan however, I wouldn't suggest to go on the weekends.

BOBA? ICE CREAM? BOBA IN ICE CREAM!? Yes, that's what this place is all about! What better way to have your boba milk teas if not in ice cream form! I got the oolong milk tea soft serve and got mini and large boba. So I really like when my milk teas have strong flavor, I mean who doesn't? If you can't taste the tea then wouldn't it just be...milk? Well the oolong flavor in this soft serve is strong and I love it! Amazing how strong it is even in soft serve form. So a question I got asked a lot is, boba in ice cream? Doesn't that make the boba hard? Yes, it did make the mini boba hard but not can't bite it hard. It made it more chewy hard if that makes any sense! It gave a bite to it, and more texture. The large bobas stayed perfectly the way they were. Oh I also had this on a rainy day, no ragrets.

I've known this place for a long time and finally I had a chance to try it. It's funny that what makes this place impress me is the combination of ice cream and bobas but I didn't get any bobas. I got the oolong matcha latte and oolong ice cream. For the latte, I got 25% sugar and I was glad that it wasn't sweet at all, just enough to have the taste. If I haven't tried boba guys, I would say it's the best boba tea/latte. For me, boba guys tastes better, has more matcha flavor but I will still come back here again if I'm closer to here. The ice cream had a nice flavor of oolong tea which I did enjoy. But it's not as creamy as I thought. I had a few soft serve ice cream from different places and the texture of this ice cream is my least favorite ice cream. Anyway I still love the oolong tea flavor and would come back again to try black tea flavor.

YES! 500 STARS! I freaking loved their ice cream here. Got a black bubble tea (?) soft serve ice cream with the large bubbles and it was SO delicious. I already like bubble tea a lot and I LOVE ice cream and this was such a great combination. Even my friend who's not a dessert person and doesn't often eat ice cream really liked it. The cashier was also so nice. I can't wait to come back!

This review is solely for the oolong tea soft serve on a Monday afternoon. I tried coming here on weekends but it was way too packed. This is one of the best tea flavor soft serve I ever tried. It's like a oolong milk tea slushy texture. Not the typical creamy soft serve that you are used to. (Don't get me wrong, I love creamy. So it blew my mind on how it can taste so good with the slushy texture). I also really like how you can really taste the tea. The customer service was the friendly and straight to the point. The only complaint is that I wish the establishment is a little bigger because I couldn't get a seat.

Great service! Asked the cashier for recommendations on a drink and ice cream flavor. He offered his own personal favorites along with a sample of the ice cream flavors. Super friendly and did not seem like he was rushing us along to make a decision at all. At one point I messed up on saying what I wanted and he quickly fixed it for us. Tea and ice cream were prepared quickly and we really enjoyed our visit overall. Only negative part is that the store is quite small so many people had to leave and eat their desserts outside instead. I was expecting that so it wasn't too big of an issue. Pictures: We ended up going with the black tea ice cream and the iron goddess milk tea. The milk tea was a little bland, but that was probably my fault since I picked 50% sugar. Would go back and try the original sweetness levels next time.

Came back with a couple of friends and tried the black tea soft serve. I would say the oolong was my preference only because it's stronger, while the black tea is more subtle, but still noticeable. I got it with mini bubbles which added a nice little bite to it. I added it to the bottom, but you can also add it to the top. I would probably do it on top next time because I noticed that after having the bubbles sit in the bottom for a while, the ice cream would harden a couple of them because the ice cream itself is very cold. The ice cream also does melt a little quick, but that's inevitable with soft serve.

I've only tried the oolong soft serve, but all I can say is that it was delicious. There is definitely a strong tea flavor in it which I love. I got mine with bubbles and honey wheat braided twists which were an additional $0.50 each. The bubbles were lightly sweetened and added a little chew to it while the honey wheat braided twists added a crunch and hint of savoriness. The ice cream itself also wasn't too sweet which was another plus for me. I just think the price for it is a bit high. My total came out to be a bit over $5 but you don't get a whole ton for it. But I would rather pay a little more for something that tastes good than less for something mediocre. I would want to come back and try the black tea soft serve. As for the drinks, I have still yet to try because I am not the biggest fan of bubble tea drinks and a lot of places do end up disappointing me more than anything. But I would come back just for the ice cream if anything!

A small boutique for bubble tea and I love it ! It's very different in my opinion. A little bit exotic but great combinations. I had the matcha oolong latte and order my husband a sea salt caramel oolong latte ! Besides the latte I couldn't resist and order the black tea ice cream with mix tapioca (small and big ones). I was a bit disappointed because I wanted he oolong tea flavor ice cream but unfortunately due to Valentine's Day they had a special flavor (rose tea) which I'm not a fan of. Everything I order taste so well. First the matcha oolong latte. I didn't get a chance to drink the night of and I brought it all the way back home from ny an hour and half drive in addition leaving it in the car for 2 hrs and drinking it the next day the flavor was still strong and didn't feel water down due to the ice. I was impress because I did tell them less ice. I was very surprise I was able to taste both the matcha flavor and oolong flavor at the same time. One flavor wasn't overpowering another. Same goes with the sea salt caramel oolong latte my husband order. I personally don't prefer caramel so it wasn't my favorite but I did taste both flavors with the sip I try from my husbands cup. Now with the black tea ice cream that was my favorite ! Black tea and ice cream are two of my favorite things and I can't believe this tea shop actually put it together and the combination was so perfectly done. I taste the strong black tea flavor and it wasn't too milky but the ice cream was still soft and creamy. The tapioca was cook to perfection of chewiness. The only thing I wish was better was for the tapioca not to just be either on top of the ice cream or on bottom (which was ask by the employee when ordering) but rather have it both places so I can taste it at the same time with every bite !

Known for bubble tea in soft serve form. They also have a variety of drinks too! Located about 15 minute walk from Chinatown. The place quaint and is pretty packed in the afternoon with limited seating. Clean, white simple interior. We tried the rose tea soft serve - personally was not a fan. The color is this lovely light pink but it kind of tasted like soap and didn't seem right as a soft serve. Ordered the black tea soft serve with small bubbles on top. The soft serve was delicious!! Creamy, smooth and a black tea aftertaste. The bubbles were chewy and not too hard from the ice cream. Not super sweet either. There is a crater in the middle which was a bit disappointing but the ice cream was still super filling! It was a fun way to enjoy bubble tea differently.

This place offers oolong tea, and black tea soft serve!! And it is delicious!! The tea flavor is strong, and I love it! I asked for a sample, and they were very nice and made me a small tasting of the two. I went with the oolong, but would go back to get black tea next time Bubbles is extra 50 cent. I got the mini because thought that meant more tapioca per bite, BUT because they were so small I didn't get much chew. So I would recommend getting the regular size

This place is very nice. The ice cream is perfect blend of sweetness and bitterness. The tapioca topping is the reason why I came. The black tea ice cream is something I'll get again. The Oolong Tea is bitter and not something I'd recommend. There's not a lot of seats. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'm definitely coming back to try the ice cream again with different toppings and most likely a drink.

4.5 Stars!!! I'm rounding up because the taste and quality are the best in nyc in my opinion. But 4.5 because the rules and parameters on how the drinks can be made are inconsistent. For example, Brown sugar oolong tea latte, they told me I can't adjust the following at different points in time: 1) can't adjust to 25% sugar 2) can't adjust amount of milk 3) can't adjust from reg milk to soy milk for cold version only etc. Each time this happens, i don't want to stand there and explain how that drink was adjustable before and how I know because I've only been there about 50+ times in the past 3 months. Anxiety. I love (golden) boba. I love milk tea. And I love bar pa tea. Nicest staff in town, please let me adjust my favorite drink every time. Deal: every 7 drinks= 1 free medium drink

The oolong and black tea ice cream swirl (more like soft serve) was DIVINE. I could've opted not to get the bubbles, but it was a cute addition. The mini bubbles (or "boba" I'm from the west coast) was difficult to chew so I ended up having to swallow it at the end (probably not good for my digestion). Anyway, it is something good to try.
