Lazy Sundaes — Restaurant in New York

This place was very nice. At first, I was a bit skeptical about going as there were some conflicting reviews, but we decided to go as it was the closest boba shop to DUMBO we found. Entering the place, it was empty; however, it was a very calming and aesthetic cafe. The kiosks to order by the door were not working when we arrived, but they may work at a later time or when it gets busier.

I was with my friend, and since it was our first time, we tried two different items from their Lazy Summer Menu. She got the bingssu and I got a drink. The bingsoo she ordered was the Strawberry Cheesecake Bingsoo with almonds and boba. Her condensed milk of choice was a vegan coconut flavor. She let me try some, and I must say it was pretty good. However, to me it the coconut condensed milk gave it a yogurt like flavor. Boba typically gets hard when it is placed in ice cream, so that is exactly what happened. Some parts were still chewy. The ice was very flaky and not very compact and fluffy as I typically see in a bingsoo, but luckily, it did not have a shaved iced feeling. My friend said the bingsoo felt more like a smoothie. All in all, I think it was pretty okay as a refreshing yogurt/ice bowl, but I am also not a big bingsoo expert, so it may not be a very traditional bingsoo.

I was very conflicted on what to get because I was interested in their Lazy Summer Beauty Boba Bundle. The worker, who honestly was so amazing and helped me decide what to get, explained that you would get two beauty products for an additional +$2. In the end, I decided to try their Yuja-ade. The topping I went with was Lychee jelly as it was also recommended to me. As explained to me, yuja is a fruit very similar to a lemon. The house makes a marmalade, and they put seltzer/sparkling water on it. Because it had been so hot that day, it really hit the spot, and I'm very glad I chose it compared to a milk based boba tea. The lychee jelly tasted like the standard lychee jelly, which is always delicious personally. The drink itself was extremely refreshing for the hot day. For me, the only thing is (side note my palette does not handle very extreme salt, sugar flavors) it was a bit on the sweeter side. I fixed it by adding more water, but my friend who tried it said it had a balanced sweetness. Sometimes, as I drank the tea, it had a mild bitter flavor, probably from the yuja rind/peel that was in the marmalade, but it wasn't overwhelming.

All in all, it was a very good first time experience and if I am in the area I would love to try one of their other drinks, especially since they had the option of Pistachio milk in their menu which I had never...

Had the hojicha bingsoo and a jasmine milk tea with tapioca pearls. The service was easy and seamless. The flow of the cafe worked very nicely. Computers to order from upon stepped through the front doors and then you walk down a ramp to a decently sized seating area which is spacious and carefully curated to match their aesthetic. Order came out quick. The bingsoo was a bit challenging to eat out of a cup, but it worked just fine. The shaved ice was a different texture than I am used to having, but it was still tasty despite the coarse mouthfeel. The milk tea was refreshing and floral.

All in all, it was great to find a place in dumbo with bingsoo as I am often craving it and have to go all the way to Manhattan to...

Stopped by for a bubble tea drink and they told us it would take a little bit. 30 minutes later my girlfriend and I got our drinks (after multiple people who came in after us were served). Within that 30 minutes, the staff were chatting, laughing, sitting, and enjoying themselves while several customers sat silently waiting for their drinks.

Even though we only ordered two simple drinks with tapioca, the wait was way too long. When we did finally get them, the tapioca was flavorless and hard. The rest of the drink was very average for a bubble tea drink. I’m still not sure what took so long to make...
