I've tried countless bubble tea shops across NYC, but I'Milky 沐白 in Long Island City has completely won me over! From the moment you walk in, you can tell they're passionate about quality. Their tea has this perfect balance - flavorful without being overly sweet, and you can actually taste the fresh tea base.

The staff is incredibly friendly and will help you customize your drink exactly how you like it. The space itself is clean and modern with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. It's quickly become my go-to spot...

They have a deal here where you can get two onigiri and a drink starting from $15.95 (it gets more expensive if you get one of the premium onigiri or an expensive drink). When I went, I got their marinated pork and mala beef onigiri as well as their taro milk tea with purple rice. Their onigiri is a great deal and I loved them. It had flavorful meat, a great meat:rice ratio, and was a good size. Their drinks were good too. Would come back to try other drinks or get...
