Xing Fu Tang St Marks

The best boba in NYC. While it was a little pricey, it was well worth the $8. The place was clean and well-lit and the workers were kind. The boba was soft and sweet and the milk tea was wonderfully creamy. 10/10 recommend, will be coming back.

I just tried the Oreo ube milk and wowwww it was so good! Like drinking ice cream. The boba is slightly warm when you first order it and the contrast between the cold and the hot is very satisfying.

Oolong milk tea iced with boba was great. Sweetness couldn’t be adjusted. Slightly too sweet for my taste, but tapioca was well made.

BEST brown sugar boba tea I’ve ever had in my life—and I’ve had a LOT of them. Place was clean and felt contemporary and the staff were very pleasant. The boba balls were absolutely delicious and felt soft and fresh and tender, unlike the hard and somewhat frozen ones other stores and franchises frequent. I’ve come to this place anytime I’m around Astor and they never fail to disappoint. You can also see where they keep their boba, adding to the guaranteed fresh quality. The drink itself is also incredibly yummy and I love the caramelized sugar they add on the top. Great place!

A good Taiwanese boba tea chain specializing in brown sugar. A copper caldron of brown sugar is always brewing near the entrance, wafting welcoming caramel smell the those who enter. The final product is sweet, but need some shaking and mixing to get the brown sugar unstuck from the bottom and sides. Lines are more reasonable now they've opened a few years.
