"Wanpo Tea Shop was founded by Peter Chang, whose family sold a variety of drinks at their grocery store in Taichung, Taiwan, in the 1950s. It was a popular hangout spot where aunties and uncles from the neighborhood would spend their afternoons over cups of aiyu lemonade and winter melon tea. Inspired by his family’s grocery store, Chang opened the first Wanpo Tea Shop in 1992, and it has since become a global Taiwanese bubble tea chain with locations in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom. At the Greenwich Village location, the vintage-style decor is reminiscent of tea shops in the 1940s. The most popular orders here include the red bean jelly drink, Wanpo milk tea, and aiyu jelly lemon tea." - Anna Huang, Chloe Chan

I pass by here all the time and I always told myself I will always go in and grab myself some bubble tea. On a random lunch break. I finally did just that and I'm so happy I did! I got the rice yam milk tea and oh my God it tasted like cake. It was so good!! Inside the shop looks so cool It looks like a traditional tea shop and there are iPads so you can place your order. The service here was pretty quick and it's a nice shop if you just want to come in and take a little tea break

Bubble Bliss! This bubble tea spot is a gem! The tiny boba pearls are a game-changer, adding a fun twist to every sip. The drinks are not just tasty but perfectly balanced in sweetness. If you're into delightful bubble tea experiences, this place is a must-try. Can't get enough of those tiny, flavorful surprises!

I personally got the Green milk tea but I thought it was so basic… it wasn’t even green colored and the green tea wasn’t very strong. I wish I had gotten smth more special I wanted the Match Brown Sugar bubble tea but it was sold out :(( little seating so I don’t recommend really planning to sit/relax and drink - we came here bc it was nearest but thought seating would be more

There are two kiosks where you order from. Me always stick to Aiyu Jelly lemon green tea. No sugar no ice. This time I had light ice and the taste goes flat. Staff calls order number at the counter for drinks to pick-up, also gives you loyalty card to collect stamps for award. Bubble is the type that hard to chew and less sweetness, instead of tender one with brown sugar seasoned.

Wanpo is one of our favorite bubble tea places when we were in Taiwan, so we were very excited when they opened up their first location in NYC. They are famous for their high quality tea with various options. The menu is currently limited compared to what they offer in Taiwan but decent enough for us to feel satisfied for homesickness. We got their Red Bean Jelly Milk and Taro Milk. The taste was delicious and close to the one we had before. We highly recommend to have less sugar for both drinks we tried since the red bean & taro were very sweet.

This was a nice place to get some milk and fruit teas. It can get quite busy as it's in the vicinity of NYU. After reading all the reviews about the quality of their tea, I decided to try their Aiyu Jelly Lemon tea (which only comes in a large size). The aiyu jelly provided just enough sweetness to balance the lemon tea. If I'm in the area again, I would like to try their milk tea selections too.

Stumble upon this Taiwanese joint when we were around the area. The kumquats were real kumquats that they add to your green tea drink, would come back here for sure! They have Mini bubbles!!!

Ordered iced Green Tea with Boba, compare to the same store in Hong Kong this tea wasn't as strong / flavorful as the same one in Hong Kong. The Boba wasn't as sweet/ good as well. It was a disappoint and hope they can improve.
