YAAAS TEA New Hyde Park — Restaurant in New York

Haven’t tried this franchise of boba yet, but excited to have a legit boba spot in the area. Has your classic flavors like taro, brown sugar. Workers were patient especially to people who have never had. No sit down seating, only a spot if you’re waiting for your order. They have tablet kiosks to order or you can order with someone. Looks like I came during their soft opening, so grace is to be given with a new spot. They offer milk and milk alternatives (ex. Oat milk) as well as cute little cakes like strawberry, Oreo brownie, blueberry. I ordered their brown sugar bobo with less cream. Pretty good.

If I'm ever in the area again I'll...

Don't go anywhere else! This is the spot! Every time I go, my tea is delicious. I order the hot matcha latte with or without sugar (depending on my mood) almost every time. Perfectly mixed. Never overwhelmingly sweet. Soft, chewy, and tender tapioca with just the right sweetness. When I order for other people (brown sugar bubble tea and earl grey bubble tea), they have similar reactions. The cookies are also amazing. I've had the red velvet and chocolate chip cookies. Because they are thin, they have just the right crunch. I cannot wait to try the oatmeal raisin cookies. This is also a great place for a post-gym pick-me-up. My new favorite...
