ViVi Bubble Tea

Vivi Bubble Tea 30 3rd. Ave. New York, NY 10003 Vivi Signature Fruit Tea This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. There is a mixture of fruit in this drink. Although I don’t know the names of the fruits (and even the employee didn’t know), it didn’t matter because it was unbelievably refreshing. Also thrown into this drink is boba and single slices of orange, apple, & lime. This is an excellent drink; I recommend holding off on the boba. I was unaware fruit slices were automatically added into the tea and the boba is not necessary. If you decide to purchase a mulberry jelly tea, you automatically get a second identical drink free. Unfortunately, you can’t mix this special offer. #vivi #vivibubbletea #bubbletea #vivisignaturefruittea

I had a great experience at this bubble tea store! The staff were really friendly and polite. I ordered a medium tea, and when they saw my school/college ID, they upgraded it to a large for free—such a nice surprise! I really appreciated their kind service and positive attitude. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

I actually run into this place by accident & I had to try some bubble tea! It's such a beautiful spot, if I was alone I would have stayed little longer. But my son was tired & we had a long commute coming back home. Because they were busy, we had to wait for our order & took the chance for some pictures Ofcource..! Altho when I walked inside it took me back to the Flushing tea place, they could have chosen a different color to give that authenticity! But it's ok, it's very cute ! As long as the drinks & service is great nothing else matters much! Service was great, I got the coffee milk bubble tea, my son got the Oreo bubble tea . Bothe were very good ! In a hot summer day how refreshing! If you near that area one day definitely need to stop by!

Nice place that provides delicious drinks with friendly staffs. I visited my gf at NYU and we came in for drinks. They have student discount (free size up from medium to large) for all students NOT ONLY for NYU, that is pretty cool! Although the free size up does not work for only large size drinks, you can collect the stamp on the reward card when you purchase drink without using student id. We got one stamp since I had watermelon slush, the seasonal drink only came in large. My gf had the passion fruit tea as usual (yes, she came here frequently since she can pay medium $ and get large size with her NYU id LOL). Drinks tasted delicious and we had a good time. I would like to come again on my next visit.

Love Vivi tea! Cannot get enough of the Blue Galaxy Tea drink!! My favorite here! My daughter and I have gone a few times and they are consistently good!

Ready unique bubble tea concoctions! We had the Vivi Bubble Tea Marshmallow Nutella! They put a mini Nutella jar in the drink and used a blow torch to melt the marshmallow! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✨ Amazing!

Pepper salt chicken and taro creme brulee milk tea. Food's more expensive than other locations ive been to, the pepper salt flavor also tasted different compared to other locations, more pepper than salt but still crispy and good. Decided to try something different and got the taro creme brulee milk tea, too sweet for me and the taro bits were a bit slimy and weird texture. Bubbles also bit too soft, i didnt finish the drink but now i know to not order it

Nice bubble tea. I’ve gone a few times and have enjoyed each time. Small place, quick.

The staffs were friendly. You can get a free upgrade from medium to large if you showed your student ID. We ordered ViVi's signature drinks: blue galaxy, 3Q milk tea and ViVi fruit tea. All tasted great! There's places where you can sit and enjoy your drinks. Viva also offer food like onigiri and fried chicken.

You can't go wrong with the coffee jelly bubble milk tea. I've ordered it multiple times in person or through delivery and it never once disappointed me. The staff's there are always very friendly no matter what time of the day I walk in.

Vivi's popcorn chicken has been and still is one of my favorite snacks in NYC. I'm used to be a Vivi bubble tea fan years ago, but with other new chains around nowadays, it is no longer my go-to. We called ahead 10 minutes at this location to shorten the wait. When I picked up our basil popcorn chicken, the chicken was so fresh and piping hot. My party and I devoured it so quickly - I forgot to snap a picture of it. The chicken felt a bit dry, but other than that, a solid Vivi popcorn chicken.

If you are in the middle for bubble tea this is the place Seem to be they have one in every corner in New York Really good the bubble tea with beans were not good I got the peach tea super good and the Mikey coffe super good

While the service was fine, the tea was very watered down, which mad me disappointed. I'm only visiting so I really won't have the opportunity to try another time.

Stopped by this Vivi on my way to the Path station around 8pm on a Thursday night and there was a small wait. Staff were friendly and very efficient. They were out of popcorn chicken and weren't really sure when they would have it back in stock - so just an FYI for those who are coming here just for it. I had a Oolong Cold Brew with no sugar and it was great. I loved it. X had their signature milk tea and enjoyed it.

New Orleans just rebuilt the Levee And on PoGo I evolved an Eevee But when I'm in Manhattan And I want to get fattened I get Brown Sugar Milk Tea at Vivi You won't see these drinks on the TV And my rhymes might be quite Pet Peevey Some Boba tastes suspicious But not here, it's delicious So hurry and get Boba at Vivi! Easily my favorite location of Vivi in the New York City area and probably one of the best I've ever been to. They are ridiculously friendly, and with a small word of caution, are more than willing to make any off-menu drink that I want in any way that I want and very few locations are quite so malleable. They should be applauded for showing the respect and service skills to actually give me what I want instead of what they think is best for me. Not only that but they actually have a brown sugar milk tea on the menu and I did not see it until I had already ordered and now I want to go back to Manhattan just to try this thing because no other Vivi on the planet - as far as I know - has it. And whenever I ask for brown sugar mixed with milk tea everybody says no. So not only do these guys do it but they do it officially on the menu and I can't wait to go back and give it a try. What they did make for me was a strawberry black tea and it was thoroughly and absolutely delicious and one of the best drinks I've ever had from Vivi. So they deserve every ounce of their five star rating and I can't wait to go back to this particular location. Very friendly as well and plenty of places to sit and they even have a f***ing bathroom. Although I don't recommend f***ing in the bathroom, then again... maybe when I take Barbie back here... Oh sorry did I suggest that out loud. Now let's rap... If you're Dr. Watson, it's the ELEMENTARY-VI If you have 2 lovers, wanna make it THREE-VI?

WHAT!

I'm not a big fan of bubble tea or sugary drinks but I needed some cold drinks to quench the thirst. Vivi is a chain which can be seen in many places. Glad I got a free upgrade when I checked in on yelp (or if you show a student ID). Decided on the red bean matcha. Appreciated the employee who warned me that the drink would be bitter if I asked for less sugar. It was indeed quite bitter even with regular amount of sugar. The drink was alright. I still prefer the traditional red bean drinks from the local bakeries in Chinatown.

If you're looking for bubble tea, you can't go wrong with Vivi Bubble Tea. Vivi is about the closest thing to a chain/brand name for a bubble tea place as you can get. It is the Starbucks of Boba. I've gone to this particular location a bunch. I've gotten their milk teas and fruit teas, usually they're pretty good. This time I was in need of a protein fix so I got their spicy popcorn chicken. In terms of the overall space, this location actually has some flare to it in term of the design. It has the feel of Hello Kitty meets Alice in Wonderland would be the best way to describe the interior. A lot of bubble tea places, especially, those in Chinatown, are more of an order to go type place cause of how tiny the space is. This place is actually kind of more like a cafe where you could hang. They even have board games, which is a plus.

I've now gone to six bubble tea spots, and I can say this is distinctly in the middle in terms of everything. The vibe when you walk in is really chill, I like it, and have definitely seen worse. It was not my favorite, but just for vibe, I would give maybe 4/5. I'm glad that they had lactose free milk, but I might have actually preferred an alternative like soy or coconut milk, which they do not have. The tea was good, the popcorn chicken was even better, but the bubbles were incredibly elastic, yielding a low of chew, but not a lot of satisfaction. The bubbles were also inconsistent, sometimes being okay, sometimes being good, and also sometimes being bad. For the value, I think it is also in the middle. I've seen better value, but Vivi doesn't feel expensive. The popcorn chicken was a 100% absolute slap, but the tea is just fine. I would definitely come back, but maybe just for chicken.

Kinda dirty. $7 credit card minimum. I ordered a rice ball with my drink to meet the minimum and they didn't even start making it until 10 minutes after I ordered. No apology or anything. The tea was decent. I can find other bubble tea places that are better in the area who are more professional.

Dropping this to 2.5 stars, because for some reason, milk tea from Vivi will make my stomach hurt. Yes, I might be developing lactose intolerance, but I don't feel this way from Kung Fu Tea. Also, I really don't like how I have to walk to the E 14th St Vivi just to get a better price on the snacks. With such close proximity, it would make sense to have the same prices--as opposed to a Vivi store located in East New York, for example.

Surprise surprise--I was walking around with a friend who thought most boba places were closed...not this one. The bright pink interior just called to me, and I entered as if in a trance. Quick and friendly service, good tea. I got the black bubble milk tea no sugar no ice and it was still sweet but definitely the right amount. Really cute place--I'll be back!

Coming in at 10PM on a Friday night, Vivi was pretty empty, aside from the couple in the back furiously making out and eating each others' faces out. It was my first time here, so I picked something I knew I would like - the Mango Yakult drink with boba. Vivi has a deal where if someone presents their student ID, then Vivi will upgrade the drink one size up! So my medium drink turned into a large one for free, which was great for sharing! I took a sip of this saccharine drink and it tasted like a combination of straight up sugar and mango. I loved it - but as I started drinking more of it, my stomach started hurting. This has never happened before, so I was starting to think it was from the Yakult mixed into the drink. I probably had about a third of the large drink before calling it quits. The boba was also very chewy and sweet, as it absorbed the mango flavor. I still would come back to Vivi, but maybe I would order something else that wouldn't upset my stomach.

i got a thai tea with boba. the boba is extremely flavorless, no brown sugar or any sweetness in general. the thai tea was powdered and mixed with what seemed like black tea, giving it an odd taste. definitely not worth the $6.80. 3 stars for the fast and kind service though!

It's great that this location right by the nyu dorms. It's also closer than walking into St. Marks to look for the other bubble tea locations. I've found that Vivi's bubble tea is usually more diluted than other places so I always ask for no ice. I also don't like their fruit teas BECAUSE it's so diluted. However their normal milk bubble tea is still good and you can get a free upgrade if you check in on yelp!

They tried to kick us out because they thought we didn't order anything even though we were waiting for our order to come. lol. Ordered a popcorn chicken for $4.50. Usually it would be super satisfying, but the chicken came out soggy and the bag was literally more than half empty. Usually my favorite place to chill because of their drinks and food, but will not return because of how much their food quality has changed.

Taro bubble tea tastes like black tea with perfume added. A complete waste of money. Never going back. I should have requested a refund.

Drink was good but the chicken wasn't the same recipe as the other Vivi locations with the red spice on their spicy chicken. It was like spicy black pepper. Not the same kind of kick

Came here during a late night bubble tea craving. They do naturally make it pretty sweet, so I asked for it with 50% sugar and less ice. I like the bubble milk green tea here - the jasmine green tea is really fragrant! Check in for a free upgrade. The workers here are pretty nice and there is seating available!

I love boba and this place was quite tasty. There are quite a few chains since I walked past two prior to stopping here. I've only tried the tea but I can say it was satisfying. We walked in and the lady had her head down so I had to "announce" our presence. There was no other customers there so I don't see why I had to greet myself first. I guess I'm just used to that down south? However she was very sweet and soft spoken. There were several appealing flavours advertised so I chose the tiramisu tea. It. Was. Delicious. Very smooth, and i definitely indulged. It was warm as well! Normally I get cold teas or smoothies so this was a surprise. The boba balls were sweet and gooey, just how I like it. I want to stop by again before I leave since I've been wanting one daily!

I love the oolong tea here. I get it every time I come in! It's very good, and you can ask for extra bubble balls I'm not sure what they are called.

I have one thing to say about this place. COME THROUGH, you will love it. My tea was fantastic, the service is A1. The patrons are nice.

I like this place. It has large seating so you can chat with friends or do your work here. They also have bathroom so don't worry about drinking big ones! Many bubble tea places don't have enough seats and bathroom and I am glad they have both!!! I tried oolong milk tea with bubbles. Bubbles were cooked well and the drink was tasty. Don't forget to check in here so that you get a free size up! Staffs were friendly and nice too. I will come back when I am in this area!

I passed by so many times that I decided to come in, but it is a little frustrating. I got their earl gray float with boba. I cannot taste the float at all. It literally tastes like cold earl gray... The bubble is kind of overly sweet as well. And because they won't let you use cards unless it is above $5. I have to get a large instead of a medium... Oh great... The only nice thing is that the cashier and the person who makes the drinks are both kind of cute haha!

There is a lot of debate in good boba. I cant necessarily comment too much as I dont like overly sweet boba, but the flavors are good, the food is actually really good, and the price is great! Theres a lot of these around the city and they all have consistent quality.

This probably one of the best and most friendly boba shop in the neighborhood. They open late as well so you can get some work done here as well. Highly recommend this location!

I always walk pass this location and decided to give it a try today. I've gotten the brown sugar latte that was advertising outside on their window. The place is fairly clean when I went there around 5pm. The drink was a bit to sweet, the workers never ask me if I wanted to change my sugar level not sure if that drink is a me to adjust it and default size large? Compare to other vivi I've been to, this locations drink doesn't taste was diluted. Overall service was okay.

I come to this Vivis probably once a week; this is my favourite place for bubble tea. However my latest visit I ordered a tiramisu slush (which I've gotten numerous times) and was disappointed to find "wood chips" in my drink. I've attached pictures. I've never had a problem with their drinks before, and like I said, I usually get a drink once a week so I buy a lot from here. But tonight I couldn't even finish my drink because I was scared a wood chip would hurt my throat or stomach!! Very disappointed, they might've lost a loyal customer tonight.

gave me a student discount and was playing kpop girl group music the entire time. i stan

My new favorite drink that you can only get here is Peach (pulp) with lychee jelly. It's light, sweet, and fruity. The pulp really gives it a strong peach flavor - ahhh~ reminds me of Summer :) Another drink I really like here is Jasmine and Honey Green Tea with Aloe for something that is light, and healthy! Taro Slush is usually my go-to bubble tea. My favorite place to get it is KFT but this is definitely a close second. They serve sushi/onigiri/popcorn chicken here. I haven't tried it from this location specifically but definitely look forward to trying it one day.

I liked this bubble tea spot in the East Village. Had my usual cold taro and it was refreshing and well made. Counter service is actually friendly here too. Yes the interior looks like a Barbie doll's house threw up all over but the seating is cozy and they have wifi. Great place to stop for a bubble tea fix and recommended.

First time here. Ordered a red bean matcha boba. Loved it. Will be coming regularly when i aam around the area. Customer service was great as well.

Real rating 4.5: Came here with my girlfriend because this place just opened and we love boba. The promotion of BOGO sounded was really enticing, except that it only applied to certain drinks (i dont think it applied to the OG milk tea w/ bubbles). My gf tried the oolong milk tea and said that oolong was n-oolong-er her favorite (haha bubbly puns). She said black tea was really good, so we got the 3Q milk tea. 3Q consists of pudding, grass jelly, and bubbles. I've had 3Q's at other bubble tea shops so I sorta knew what it was going to taste like. This place loses 1 star for the limited BOGO options, however it gains 0.5 stars for it being much closer than the 14th street branch.

Tried couple drinks with friends today. I'm super fans of their red moo milk tea. Red bean is so fresh. People over there are nice, friendly and good looking. Lol tried Taiwan sausage as well, cooked to order. Definitely a good place for late snack.

i did not know how much i LOVE grapefruit green tea!!!! i tried it here for the first time and it was so AHHHHMAZING! i highly recommend the grapefruit pulp green tea! and if you're a student, you get a free size upgrade! that may be just this location, i'm not sure. the spicy pop chicken was also really good. we got the spiciest one and it was not that spicy but there's definitely a little kick. they were crispy and juicy, so yummy and perfect for a snack on the go!

Every location does a great job providing really cool drinks and some even have food. A really fun treat and an well run group of stores.

Nice place! The best drink is taro Milk tea with bubble ;taste so good! And you can try their slush, it's very nice!

This Vivi is huge! I've been to a lot of other ones around and this one definitely has a lot more tables to chill and such. I got the peach black tea with half bubbles no sugar no ice, and I got a free upgrade with a student ID. It was pretty good! There were peach pieces in the tea which was great but the tea could have been stronger for sure. Check this place out if you're looking for a good bubble tea and a place to sit and chat!

Vivis is always one of my to go for boba or fruit teas, but rarely do I go to this location. However, I stopped by yesterday to kill some time and ordered my drink. I waited for like 5 mins and then I realized that none of the workers were making my drink, they were cleaning. There was only 1 other girl in the store and already had her order. So I asked them did you make my drink yet? And they completely forgot...disappointed in their service because it was not busy at all. The drink was okay.

One of the biggest ViVi I been too. I do not get why the price at this ViVi is more expensive than the other ones in the city. For example, other place offers 3 Taiwanese sausage for $5 (tax included) but for here it's 3 for $6.50( need to plus tax too). I will understand the price difference if the stores where in different states, however it's not. Also, I came her one day with my friend and other a Passion fruit drink that came with boba ( topical balls) and lychee jelly. When I got my drink they change my regular size boba to the small boba. Honestly, it's not a big deal b/c it's still the same topping, but I think its manners and customers right to acknowledge the food they ordered is being changed.

In love with their Honeydew milk tea PLUS got a free size upgrade through their student discount promo! Yay!

This bubble tea is so good but I found it a little pricy compared to other places in the city. The rice balls are delicious and fresh. All in all, the place is pretty solid. It's a cute place to hang out before your movie or to just chill!

very good,nice place for drinking, great music, people are nice over here. It is a good place to take a break and hangout with friends. Will be back soon.

Had the honeydew milk tea. NOT impressed. It had a very artificial taste and was a bit too sweet. The boba was just okay. My friend had the regular milk tea and just thought it was alright as well. She's actually had a really hard time finding good boba in NYC. I'm so shocked that this chain is rated so highly. The boba milk tea in Texas tastes better and the good places in California even more so.

Solid bubble tea. Nice staff. Service is a bit slow. When it's crowded the wait can be long. Get full sugar, anything less is not worth it.

Horrible customer service and staff has very bad manners, bubbles oddly warm and overly sweet
