Vivi Bubble Tea

Love there honey green tea. I’ll try other thing next time.

I want to be clear: I m not reviewing the shop neither the juice but just the bubble tapioca in it. There were too much tapioca. I thought I liked it and I didn’t so it ruined my bubble tea experience. Not their fault. the juice (beside the tapioca) was good. I had hobey and jasmin. Maybe a slightly too sweet for me. But if you are sure to like bubble tea, go ahead. You will love it. to answer the question: are they round tapioca bubbles or square. I can confirm that bubble are round.

Fast service, but the drinks aren’t good. We ordered 6 drinks and only 1 was good. The drinks are really watered down.
I had the 3Q Milk Tea which is their milk tea with tapioca, egg pudding, and herbal jelly. The tapioca itself isn’t sweet and memorable. The texture is good, though. Herb jelly and egg pudding tastes good and like how they should be.
I wouldn’t come back.
There is a stamp card for buy 10, get a regular milk tea for free.

Vivi bubbletea is very typical of all the other bubbletea places in Chinatown. Though, I will say that the bbt here is made a bit sweeter than places like Gong Cha and Kung fu tea. I got a mango tea for $ 3, which I think might be the cheapest thing on the menu. It was refreshing with the lychee jelly, especially on a hot day.

Really enjoyed the red bean matcha, though it was a tad too sweet. They have the stamp card where its buy 6 and get 1 free! My boyfriend really enjoyed the moo milk. I really liked their popcorn chicken but I was the only one in line and still had to wait ~10−15 mins for it. Guess thats a good thing right?.. Means it came out fresh. I hope. Well, i’ll probably be back to fill up my stamp card.
4 stars for service
3 stars for drink + food
3 stars for ambience (felt a bit cramped in there)

Great bubble tea place. The tea is fresh and flavorful. Milk black tea was pretty good. I also fell in love with their grapefruit green tea, and love the fact that you can specify the sweetness lever.

The bobba tea was lukewarm and too light — flavored. A little disappointment — more so since I had high expectations

Summary: Great selection of basic bubble teas done well. They are slightly cheaper than most and don’t go over syrup. Get the popcorn chicken. It’s delicious.
Price: At $ 3.50, the tea is one of the cheaper easy staples. No credit cards and no bills over $ 20. Normally, people have smaller bills, but there are a couple of ATM’s in Chinatown that only give you a $ 50.
Location: If you have any room in your tummy post dim sum at either Golden Unicorn or dim sum go go, this place is not a bad stop.
Food: Popcorn Chicken! I adore thee. It is so share-​able and delicious as you walk through Chinatown.
Tea: Solid execution. They have aloe, which I prefer to bubbles.

I love bubble tea! And I love their fruit tea aloe. definitely Will come back again.

Well, it was BOGO for 3Q bubble tea (tapioca, pudding, and grass jelly). Regular price is $ 3.50 on the menu boards, but for some reason, if you want the BOGO, its $ 4? A bit sketchy if you ask me. Also, earlier that day, my friend ordered a 3Q and didn’t know about the BOGO offer and they didn’t even offer it to her. Ugh.
This was my first time trying Vivi after much, much hesitation. I’ve been told by others that Vivi was «pretty good» compared to the other shops around town. I asked for less cream/​milk in my tea… couldn’t really tell the difference. The taste of the tea is great but if you’re looking for a refreshing drink, this probably isn’t your cup of tea (haha…). The tapioca was too chewy and undercooked and tasteless. Grass jelly and pudding were comparable to other bubble tea places.
Probably would not choose Vivi over Kung Fu Tea.

Just visiting from Cali and bought a 3Q. It’s the best drink ever. I highly recommend it.

i just order a few drinks from them! they have a lot special snacks! i will recommend this place to all my friend!

Service very BAD. workers r not aware if their surrounding.
Go to the other one near Mott and Elizabeth their customers care is more professional

The lady that took my order was really rude. She was taking my order and doing something else at the same time. She had a really rude attitude and wasn’t friendly at all.
I gave this place two star because of the attitude and the floor was full of trash and no one was cleaning it.

Disappointed.
Ordered a large «Japanese matcha» with tapioca. The so called «matcha» tasted bitter and was more like ordinary green tea. Not only that but it was super watery and diluted.
There were some good tapioca bubbles, but there were also mushy and undercooked ones as well.
Lastly, they said they don’t accept the stamp card at this location.
Pass.

This is a regular bubble tea place. It taste good and prices were ok. this is my first time here but I’ve been to the one on bayard a few times.

Standard bubble tea spot, no more or less. Too small to hang out inside, but that’s the norm for this type of business.

Just a normal bubble tea place with a decent amount of options. Tasted fine as it should and the prices were reasonable. This is a good spot if you are in the area but not worth going out of your way for.

Dude. There were passion fruit seeds in my passion fruit bubble tea. How can I not be impressed by that?
If that weren’t enough, I felt like I had such control over my drink. I was able to ask for NO sweetener (the choices were very specific: no sweetener, 30% sweet, 50% sweet, etc.). The boba was perfect. The size was perfect. The sweetness (or lack thereof) was perfect.
I. Will. Be. Back.

Less people at this location. Hallelujah! I love their Peach Jelly Tea. It’s on special right now, $ 3 for a medium, $ 3.50 for a large.
Even though their address is 2 East Broadway, officially. The opening to the store is on Catherine Street right by East Broadway.
This location has a statue with Marge Simpson holding Maggie Simpson sitting in the front. I cracked up seeing this statue because the Bayard Street location has Homer. AWESOME.
