Ma's Tea House — Restaurant in Elmwood Park

I worked with Ma’s Tea House for a corporate event. Initially we wanted them to come on site at our NYC office location at make fresh bubble tea as people came into the office, which they do offer, but the building had a lot of specific requests which made it difficult to coordinate. We ended up deciding to switch to a delivery of 100 bubble teas in the morning for my event that same afternoon. From start to finish, they were very easy to work with and responsive. I stopped by the shop and Justin worked with me to decide on what would be best for delivery and what flavors would be good options. I even requested they add my company’s stickers to the cups along with their own and they did. Delivery was a little tough (but that was due to the location of the office in midtown, police officers not allowing vehicles to stop, etc.) but we eventually found each other for delivery and they helped bring the bubble teas into the building within the delivery time discussed.

As for the bubble teas during the event, we decided on 50 white peach rose with strawberry popping boba and 50 passion fruit with mango popping boba. They were a HUGE hit and mostly gone within the hour from the start of the event which we didn’t expect. We were anticipating some leftovers by the end of the day, but in the end, there were none.

Pricing was reasonable and comparable to other quotes that we received. Brian was great to work with. We would look to work with them again...

If they read this review, the guy will probably know who I am after he hears what I have to say. When I ordered mochi, I thought I'd be getting multiple of them. At least three. I got a single average-sized mochi. And it was frozen solid. I thought maybe it was softer than it appeared, but when I bit into it, it was really hard. And I was told that I had to give it time to defrost, or that I could eat it like that because some people liked it that way. I've never heard of anyone eating frozen solid mochi. I paid $2 for a single portion of something that I have to wait to be properly eat? Please do better. I love store's aesthetics. I think it's a really cool vibe, but I found the mochi thing really dumb. The price is justified by the mochi supposedly being vegan, which I don't know if that's true or not, but I shouldn't enjoy prepackaged mochi from a convenience store more than fresh, traditionally made mochi. If that's the case, you're doing something wrong.

Their tea is decent. I won't slander it because I only tried a single flavor that I didn't end up liking that much. But what I did try has a bland, almost flour-ish texture. Don't order the coconut tea with oat milk. Don't make the same mistake I...

From the moment we walked into the door this place was so warm and inviting, the decor the beverage selection the customer service, my friend and I just came from a massage down the road ( Taiji Oriental Massage check em out ), but we were parched after a great massage and was craving something close and quick, but not too heavy so we came here and they did not disappoint, they had a nice selection of miscellaneous things to buy like keychains , little pokemon backpacks, cute chopsticks 🥢 it was just beautiful in there , they also had some games set out so you could help yourself which I thought was a great touch it really felt like I was hanging out in Ma’s tea house, it’s a vibe and exactly what we needed after a relaxing massage, we enjoyed every bit of it, & we ended up ordering a waffle with ice cream drizzled with a bit of brown sugar and oh em geee how yummay, and then we shared a pear juice just because they had quite the selection and we couldn’t decide so we split it and it was a great go-to super refreshing . Def will be our spot after our massages, def gotta check them out. Thank you staff for a...
