Smo Tea — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

Wow, what an incredible store! I've seen reviews from customers who come out here from the boroughs of New York City just for the bubble tea here. I've also heard personally from customers while in the store, that they've tried bubble tea from all over and Smo Tea is their favorite. Having visited myself, I 100% understand why, and the hype is real. This place is the truth and is absolutely awesome! Owners Xin and Annie run a wonderful establishment. I was blown away by how much I enjoyed my visit. The customer service is exceptional, and they make you feel at home and treat you like family. Some of the best hospitality I've received anywhere. Such kind people. They took the time to explain all the different teas, how they are prepared, and the individual ingredients in each item to ensure I ordered exactly what I was in the mood for and left happy. The quality of the drinks are top notch. Everything is so fresh, natural, and perfectly blended/balanced. A delicious treat, that's for sure. The store is very clean, fun, and inviting, with a modern relaxed feel and some playful decor. Overall, this is an excellent addition to the Long Island bubble tea scene, and easily the best and my new #1 favorite. I wish this family run business lots of success. They have a phenomenal product and I...

We visited Smo Tea in Garden City (corner of Herricks Rd & Jericho Tpke) and had a great experience. Parking is very easy thanks to the large lot shared with Lidl.

We tried the Taro crepe (absolutely delicious), the Taro milk tea with boba (soft and chewy pearls), the Strawberry milk drink, and the Mango Pomelo with popping boba. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful.

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. My only small wish would be for more savory snack options (beyond chips), but overall this is a fantastic shop that we’ll definitely return...

I can’t say enough about how amazing this place is. The owners are so kind and welcoming and their teas are amazing. My eight year daughter comes in nearly every weekend for a Strawberry cheese foam tea with popping boba and it’s the highlight of her week. Today, she accidentally dropped hers on the way out and they replaced it free of charge and gave her a treat to cheer her up. The kindness they show as well as amazing customer service was really touching. Whether getting it to go or staying (there is a foosball table my kids love playing), we’ve always had a...
