Wanpo Tea Shop — Restaurant in New York

One star for attention. There is trouble in Wanpo Land. This used to be my favorite boba shop. For as long as Vincent was there. He made the best drinks in all of their top sellers. From milk tea and brown sugar milk tea to their fruity plum green tea.

It keeps getting sweeter and sweeter, even though my request request remains the same: no sugar (because there’s already sugar in syrups they use).

Wanpo Tea Shop is hands-down our favorite boba spot in NYC! Every visit is a delight, with their authentic Taiwanese bubble tea stealing the show. The Wanpo Milk Tea is a perfect balance of rich, aromatic tea and creamy goodness, with chewy boba that’s always just right. We also love the Oolong Milk Tea for its smooth, floral notes. The portions are generous—half the cup is filled with those delightful pearls!

The service is quick and friendly, and the self-ordering kiosk makes the process a breeze. The cozy, traditional vibe adds to the charm, making it a great grab-and-go spot near Washington Square Park. Whether you’re a boba fanatic or a first-timer, Wanpo’s quality and authenticity make it a must-visit. We keep coming...

The red bean and jelly added a unique sweetness and textural contrast. There were still a good amount of toppings sinked at the bottom after I gulped my matcha latte.

Wanpo has now become one of my fav boba shops in NYC after I’Milky. Tbh the cup size was much smaller than I thought. Yet I’m still willing to splurge on their drink ($9+) because I wanna make sure I’m getting the best quality...
