Reviews for Cafe East in New York, NY
I came here once at 7:50pm and asked for froyo and was told it could not be made... I accepted that as I saw the toppings had... been put away but today I came in at 7:45. I asked for a smoothie and was told it could not be made. I then asked for froyo withtoppings and was told that it could not be made. The toppings had not been put away yet and froyo truly is not difficult andonly requires pulling the lever on a machine (as I have seen done before). There is no reason for this kind of service... don'thave closing officially stated at 8:00 but then stop serving 90% of items 15 minutes before closing. Read more
Im a coffee guy, and this chai boba tea is creamy tasty with a nice herbal tea flavor thats like cakey. Light sweetness and... plenty of boba goodness. Sept. 9 2021 ???????????? Read more
perfectly sweet and balanced with earthy flavors, the milk tea is delicious and not bitter AT ALL. as your residential bubble... tea connoisseur, I highly recommend this place, as the teas as well as the acai bowls are tasty Read more
People are right that the bubble tea could be better but I've always enjoyed the tea I've gotten there. If you're a boba... connoisseur better to head elsewhere. Go there for the other offerings. The sushi is pretty high quality, convenient, andinexpensive. Nice fruit smoothies and frozen yogurt as well. There is also always fresh iced tea, sliced fruit, andfruit/cracker/cheese/peanut butter combos in the cooler to grab and go. Super fast, convenient, good seating with outlets andwifi. Read more
Drinks are inconsistent and the tea is sometimes too bitter (even with milk!) but they're lightning fast. Incredibly convenient... for Columbia students, but by far the worst bubble tea option in the area (especially with the opening of Gong Cha nearby) eventhough it may be the cheapest. Read more
Definitely agree with the other reviews on the quality of bubble milk teas. Tea magic is so much better. I used to drink here... often. Ordered Taiwan oolong milk tea with bubbles and the guy forgot the bubbles. I don't wanna go back in the storm now to geta new tea. Go here for overpriced food and below average bobas. I would anyway choose strokos a couple of blocks down for foodand teamagic for teas unless they are not open. On the food front they have sushi rolls, cut fruits and fruit smoothies. You canbring outside food here to have a bite and the ambience is nice. Read more
Truly the worst bubble tea place I've ever been to. Some of the flavors, like Caramel, are undrinkable. And for the flavors that... I do like somewhat, they vary in quality so sometimes it tastes okay, others I can't get more than a few sips through. Doyourself a favor and go to TeaMagic a few blocks down. Read more
I don?t know who needs this but you really need to try Salted Caramel Hojicha with Boba. It?s the best boba I?ve had! This place... is pretty expensive though. Read more
