bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/16/2019 | Melissa H. | Manhattan, NY | 5 star rating | Bar pa tea serves not only delicious bubble tea but also offers black tea ice cream topped with boba!!! What a cool concept and they execute both really well. We stopped by this weekend and it was definitely a popular spot as the place filled up by the time we were leaving. Would recommend the matcha green tea bubble tea and black tea / oolong tea soft serve swirl topped with boba. The boba here is the perfect texture and sweetness.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/15/2019 | Liz S. | New York, NY | 3 star rating | Bar Pa Tea is a boba spot in Nolita perhaps best known for their tea-flavored soft serve.
I came last weekend to give them a try and they were naturally pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. All told, it took me over 20 minutes to get my oolong soft serve ($5.50, about $7 after tax and tip), and about 15 of that was after I put in my order. It seems like they could be more efficient-- I understand that drinks take a while to make, but I'd imagine there are ways of getting that soft serve into people's hands faster.
That soft serve didn't feel worth the wait to me. The consistency was good, and it was creamy and not too sweet, but the tea flavor wasn't very strong or unique. I was hoping for something richer (or maybe I just had Cha-an's version fixed too strongly in my mind). I didn't add boba which may be the differentiating factor here.
The space is clean and bright, with countdown clocks to their next fresh boba. It's very small and I would plan on taking to-go. It's possible that their milk teas are amazing, but I just didn't get the appeal of the soft serve. | ['bar', 'spot', 'nolita', 'perhaps', 'best', 'know', 'tea-flavored', 'soft', 'serve', 'come', 'last', 'weekend', 'give', 'try', 'naturally', 'pretty', 'busy', 'sunday', 'afternoon', 'tell', 'take', 'minute', 'get', 'oolong', 'soft', 'serve', 'tax', 'tip', 'put', 'order', 'seem', 'like', 'could', 'efficient', 'understand', 'drink', 'take', 'make', 'would', 'imagine', 'way', 'get', 'soft', 'serve', 'people', 'hand', 'fast', 'soft', 'serve', 'feel', 'worth', 'wait', 'consistency', 'good', 'creamy', 'sweet', 'flavor', 'strong', 'unique', 'hop', 'something', 'richer', 'maybe', 'cha-an', 'version', 'fix', 'strongly', 'mind', 'add', 'may', 'differentiating', 'factor', 'space', 'clean', 'bright', 'countdown', 'clock', 'next', 'fresh', 'small', 'would', 'plan', 'take', 'to-go', 'possible', 'milk', 'amazing', 'get', 'appeal', 'soft', 'serve'] | bar spot nolita perhaps best know tea-flavored soft serve come last weekend give try naturally pretty busy sunday afternoon tell take minute get oolong soft serve tax tip put order seem like could efficient understand drink take make would imagine way get soft serve people hand fast soft serve feel worth wait consistency good creamy sweet flavor strong unique hop something richer maybe cha-an version fix strongly mind add may differentiating factor space clean bright countdown clock next fresh small would plan take to-go possible milk amazing get appeal soft serve | 0.17 | 0.04 | 0.79 | 0.98 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/13/2019 | Michelle C. | Brooklyn, NY | 5 star rating | The soft serve at Bar Pa Tea is absolutely phenomenal. They occasionally have seasonal flavors but their regular black tea/oolong swirl is the stuff I dream about. Silky, fragrant, and addictive! Personally, I prefer the larger sized boba with the soft serve because it lends a chewier mouthfeel but they also offer a mix of both large and small boba for the same price (50c add-on) if you like variety.
If you come often, make sure you track your purchases on the Clover app. There is a free medium drink/soft serve (topping included) per 8 stamps! | ['soft', 'serve', 'bar', 'absolutely', 'phenomenal', 'occasionally', 'seasonal', 'flavor', 'regular', 'black', 'tea/oolong', 'swirl', 'stuff', 'dream', 'silky', 'fragrant', 'addictive', 'personally', 'prefer', 'large', 'sized', 'soft', 'serve', 'lend', 'chewier', 'mouthfeel', 'also', 'offer', 'mix', 'large', 'small', 'price', 'add-on', 'like', 'variety', 'come', 'often', 'make', 'sure', 'track', 'purchase', 'clover', 'app', 'free', 'medium', 'drink/soft', 'serve', 'top', 'include', 'per', 'stamp'] | soft serve bar absolutely phenomenal occasionally seasonal flavor regular black tea/oolong swirl stuff dream silky fragrant addictive personally prefer large sized soft serve lend chewier mouthfeel also offer mix large small price add-on like variety come often make sure track purchase clover app free medium drink/soft serve top include per stamp | 0.14 | 0 | 0.86 | 0.93 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/12/2019 | Wendy Y. | Brooklyn, NY | 4 star rating | A good option for someone who's looking for a milk tea soft serve. I was disappointed that they didn't have the rose tea flavor on the day I went, but I settled for a swirl of Oolong and Black Tea flavors. You can't really tell which flavor is which when they give you the swirl. It had the perfect amount of tea flavor and sweetness. The boba toppings add a nice chewiness to break up the smoothness of the ice cream. It is a hole in the wall spot, so you'll have to enjoy your treat outside. This is probably for the best, because their air conditioning is either lacking or was broken on the day I went. | ['good', 'option', 'someone', 'look', 'milk', 'soft', 'serve', 'disappoint', 'rise', 'flavor', 'day', 'settle', 'swirl', 'oolong', 'black', 'flavor', 'really', 'tell', 'flavor', 'give', 'swirl', 'perfect', 'amount', 'flavor', 'sweetness', 'topping', 'add', 'nice', 'chewiness', 'break', 'smoothness', 'ice', 'cream', 'hole', 'wall', 'spot', 'enjoy', 'treat', 'outside', 'probably', 'best', 'air', 'conditioning', 'either', 'lack', 'break', 'day'] | good option someone look milk soft serve disappoint rise flavor day settle swirl oolong black flavor really tell flavor give swirl perfect amount flavor sweetness topping add nice chewiness break smoothness ice cream hole wall spot enjoy treat outside probably best air conditioning either lack break day | 0.21 | 0.05 | 0.74 | 0.98 | positive |

The frozen yogurt was also so good! Get the 'swirl' which is a combo of both flavors. They also have a bunch of cool toppings from boba, stroop waffle, Oreo crumbs, etc.
I will definitely come back for my bubble tea fix and a nice frozen yogurt during a hot day!! | ['good', 'great', 'quick', 'small', 'spot', 'grab', 'amazing', 'option', 'include', 'flavor', 'add', 'ons', 'frozen', 'yogurt', 'also', 'good', 'get', "'swirl", 'combo', 'flavor', 'also', 'bunch', 'cool', 'topping', 'stroop', 'waffle', 'oreo', 'crumb', 'etc', 'definitely', 'come', 'back', 'fix', 'nice', 'frozen', 'yogurt', 'hot', 'day'] | good great quick small spot grab amazing option include flavor add ons frozen yogurt also good get 'swirl combo flavor also bunch cool topping stroop waffle oreo crumb etc definitely come back fix nice frozen yogurt hot day | 0.32 | 0 | 0.68 | 0.98 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/4/2019 | Emily L. | Manhattan, NY | 5 star rating | Bar Pa Tea is the best spot to get a well-balanced and high quality milk tea in the NYC area! The interior is very cute and aesthetically pleasing, but I do have to mention that seating is very limited.
The girl at the cashier offered me and my friend samples of their black tea and oolong tea soft serves, both of which were delicious! Definitely one of the better soft serves I've had in terms of flavor integrity. It had a strong tea flavor while also being sweet and milky.
I opted for the black tea latte, which also had the perfect balance of strong tea to milk and sugar. It was the perfect mid-day wake me up! I wish I got the mini boba (bubbles I guess if you're from the area), which my friend got in her soft serve! The texture was perfect and they were lightly sweetened. The items were on the pricey side, which I'm ok with because of the quality of our desserts.

I got a Oolong tea + Hojicha tea swirl in a cup. They give you a LOT (enough to share with two), which is always a plus! I thoroughly enjoyed it especially because it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet (as most soft serves are). It also has a fuller flavor (from the teas); this isn't your average vanilla soft serve.
Only downside is the very limited seating and on a Saturday afternoon it's pretty crowded so you may have to wait a bit! Also, if you're looking for a *drink*, I'd recommend you just walk a bit more and get Boba Guys instead :)

There's minimal seating, no bathroom, and it is pretty crowded during the weekend. Service is pretty efficient.
We got the fresh grapefruit yakult drink with mini bubbles and black tea soft serve. I liked the grapefruit yakult since I really like grapefruit and it wasn't too sweet.

The shop itself was located very centrally in Soho and just a short walk to small parks, local boutiques and other bigger stores. The retail space itself was rather small but the products were big in flavor! I got the soft serve, oolong and black milk tea swirl with boba, which was amazing!! The flavors were very strong and having the boba there added for a fun concept. My family got the jasmine/oolong tea (iced) and the matcha milk tea (iced) and they loved it!

Both of these had good tea flavor and a very tannic mouthfeel, though I found the texture a little bit watery/icey, and the soft serves melted very quickly.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 7/19/2019 | Neil C. | Miami, FL | 5 star rating | Bar Pa Tea not only serves bubble tea, but also has bubble tea in the form of soft serve ice cream. That was the main draw for us here since 1) we've never tried that before 2) we've heard nothing but good things about this place.
The bubble tea soft serve flavors are limited to Black Tea, Roasted Oolong Tea, and a swirl of both flavors. We went with the Roasted Oolong Tea soft serve with mini stroopwafel and mini bubbles on the side and I must say that the taste did not disappoint. The mini tapioca bubbles were super soft, chewy, and delish. It certainly helps that they're prepared fresh every two hours.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 7/13/2019 | Elizabeth Y. | Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY | 5 star rating | I had pretty high hopes for Bar Pa Tea, and it totally met them! I opted for the oolong/black tea swirl and had my soft serve sandwiched by regular-sized tapioca pearls, with a cute mini stroopwafel poking off the side. The soft serve is delicious, refreshing, and not too sweet! I really enjoyed the swirl, as the flavors were pretty distinctive and complemented each other well. The stroopwafel was good but a bit hard since it was cold, so while it was a cute add-on, I wouldn't recommend it.
The bubbles were cooked well and were perfectly sweetened, but since they naturally harden as they cool, I suggest just getting bubbles on top or eating everything quickly--which is not difficult at all! | ['pretty', 'high', 'hope', 'bar', 'totally', 'meet', 'opt', 'oolong/black', 'swirl', 'soft', 'serve', 'sandwich', 'regular-sized', 'tapioca', 'pearl', 'cute', 'mini', 'stroopwafel', 'poke', 'side', 'soft', 'serve', 'delicious', 'refreshing', 'sweet', 'really', 'enjoy', 'swirl', 'flavor', 'pretty', 'distinctive', 'complemented', 'well', 'stroopwafel', 'good', 'bit', 'hard', 'since', 'cold', 'cute', 'add-on', 'would', 'recommend', 'cook', 'well', 'perfectly', 'sweeten', 'since', 'naturally', 'harden', 'cool', 'suggest', 'get', 'top', 'eat', 'everything', 'quickly', 'difficult'] | pretty high hope bar totally meet opt oolong/black swirl soft serve sandwich regular-sized tapioca pearl cute mini stroopwafel poke side soft serve delicious refreshing sweet really enjoy swirl flavor pretty distinctive complemented well stroopwafel good bit hard since cold cute add-on would recommend cook well perfectly sweeten since naturally harden cool suggest get top eat everything quickly difficult | 0.27 | 0.04 | 0.69 | 0.98 | positive |

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 6/29/2019 | Joanna M. | New York, NY | 5 star rating | I came across Bar Pa Tea while researching/fantasizing about having boba at my wedding reception :)
My now husband and I went to Bar Pa Tea to taste the teas, tapioca, and soft serve -- and we WERE IMMEDIATELY SOLD. So fresh, so delicious. I love that the teas are freshly brewed (no powders) and the soft serve is glorious. I wish I lived closer to Bar Pa Tea; I'd legit be there all the time!!
In regards to hiring Bar Pa Tea as an outside vendor during our wedding reception at the Essex House, we were so thrilled with how everything turned out and our guests LOVED the drinks and soft serve bar. It was such a fun and unique touch to our night! Thank you to Gloria for being so wonderful throughout the planning process and to Patrick and the baristas who worked at our wedding. Would highly recommend Bar Pa Tea to anyone in the NYC area who wants boba and soft serve at their event :) | ['come', 'across', 'bar', 'researching/fantasizing', 'wed', 'reception', 'husband', 'bar', 'taste', 'tapioca', 'soft', 'serve', 'immediately', 'sold', 'fresh', 'delicious', 'love', 'freshly', 'brew', 'powder', 'soft', 'serve', 'glorious', 'wish', 'live', 'close', 'bar', 'would', 'legit', 'time', 'regard', 'hire', 'bar', 'outside', 'vendor', 'wed', 'reception', 'essex', 'house', 'thrill', 'everything', 'turn', 'guest', 'love', 'drink', 'soft', 'serve', 'bar', 'fun', 'unique', 'touch', 'night', 'thank', 'gloria', 'wonderful', 'throughout', 'planning', 'process', 'patrick', 'baristas', 'work', 'wedding', 'would', 'highly', 'recommend', 'bar', 'anyone', 'nyc', 'area', 'want', 'soft', 'serve', 'event'] | come across bar researching/fantasizing wed reception husband bar taste tapioca soft serve immediately sold fresh delicious love freshly brew powder soft serve glorious wish live close bar would legit time regard hire bar outside vendor wed reception essex house thrill everything turn guest love drink soft serve bar fun unique touch night thank gloria wonderful throughout planning process patrick baristas work wedding would highly recommend bar anyone nyc area want soft serve event | 0.25 | 0 | 0.75 | 0.99 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 6/29/2019 | Michelle C. | Brooklyn, NY | 4 star rating | 3.5/5
I am an absolute fan of their soft serves! The portioning and the amount of bubbles/toppings that are added on for the price that you are paying is unbelievable. You would think that it'd be overpriced just like other ice-cream spots in the city, but instead, it is inexpensive for a huge swirl of creamy, delicious, and unique flavors! My favorite is probably their rose flavor, which appears every so often when they have a promotion for a specific holiday, but I wouldn't say I really enjoy the taste of the other flavors as much.
As for their bubble tea, which is what they are mainly known for. I feel that it does need a bit of improvement. They focus heavily on appearance of the drinks, creating an ombre effect on most of them. It does look aesthetic and instagram-able, but the drinks are nothing out of the ordinary. I tried the matcha once, but the sugar didn't seem to be mixed in well enough. My first few sips tasted amazing, but after that, the drink just tasted like a bitter mess. I do think that their bubbles are worth mentioning. Unlike other boba spots, bar pa tea doesn't drench their bubbles in brown sugar or honey, but it still remains a decent amount of sweet--a perfect addition to the drink without feeling like you are cheating yourself on your diet!
The service is good--they are able to handle huge crowds and move in a fast paced environment, while giving a smile and good customer service. Definitely try their soft serve if you are ever in the area shopping at soho! | ['absolute', 'fan', 'soft', 'serf', 'portioning', 'amount', 'bubbles/toppings', 'add', 'price', 'pay', 'unbelievable', 'would', 'think', 'would', 'overprice', 'like', 'ice-cream', 'spot', 'city', 'instead', 'inexpensive', 'huge', 'swirl', 'creamy', 'delicious', 'unique', 'flavor', 'favorite', 'probably', 'rise', 'flavor', 'appear', 'every', 'often', 'promotion', 'specific', 'holiday', 'would', 'say', 'really', 'enjoy', 'taste', 'flavor', 'much', 'mainly', 'know', 'feel', 'need', 'bit', 'improvement', 'focus', 'heavily', 'appearance', 'drink', 'create', 'ombre', 'effect', 'look', 'aesthetic', 'instagram-able', 'drink', 'nothing', 'ordinary', 'try', 'matcha', 'sugar', 'seem', 'mix', 'well', 'enough', 'first', 'sip', 'taste', 'amazing', 'drink', 'taste', 'like', 'bitter', 'mess', 'think', 'worth', 'mention', 'unlike', 'spot', 'bar', 'drench', 'brown', 'sugar', 'honey', 'still', 'remain', 'decent', 'amount', 'sweet', 'perfect', 'addition', 'drink', 'without', 'feel', 'like', 'cheat', 'diet', 'service', 'good', 'able', 'handle', 'huge', 'crowd', 'move', 'fast', 'paced', 'environment', 'give', 'smile', 'good', 'customer', 'service', 'definitely', 'try', 'soft', 'serve', 'ever', 'area', 'shopping', 'soho'] | absolute fan soft serf portioning amount bubbles/toppings add price pay unbelievable would think would overprice like ice-cream spot city instead inexpensive huge swirl creamy delicious unique flavor favorite probably rise flavor appear every often promotion specific holiday would say really enjoy taste flavor much mainly know feel need bit improvement focus heavily appearance drink create ombre effect look aesthetic instagram-able drink nothing ordinary try matcha sugar seem mix well enough first sip taste amazing drink taste like bitter mess think worth mention unlike spot bar drench brown sugar honey still remain decent amount sweet perfect addition drink without feel like cheat diet service good able handle huge crowd move fast paced environment give smile good customer service definitely try soft serve ever area shopping soho | 0.21 | 0.05 | 0.73 | 0.99 | positive |

First off, the idea of tea soft serve with boba is f$@&ing brilliant, and Bar Pa Tea nailed it. Every time I've been, I've gotten the twist of two teas with the large sized boba. I've tried the small boba as a topping before, but texturally the large boba is far superior.

I read the Yelp reviews and decided to check this place out while I'm here visiting NYC from Kansas City. The place was located a little ways from Little Italy and Chinatown. It was pretty easy to find using my GPS. There is construction with the store next door, so be cautious. The shop is small. There is one table for 3, a table for 2, 6 bar stools and a bench for seating. The staff was friendly and nice to let us sample the two ice cream flavors they offer which were Black and Hojicha Tea. My friend and I both liked the Black tea ice cream flavor and got one to share with Tapioca Pearls and Oreo Cookie Crumbs. It was really good! Also, there was a promo for another popular dessert that I noticed most people in the shop ordered.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 6/16/2019 | Caro J. | Morningside Heights, Manhattan, NY | 4 star rating | tl;dr great for a unique milk/bubble tea or ice cream dessert, I would definitely recommend if you have about 20 minutes of time on your hands.
A cute little tea shop near Chinatown in NYC, Bar Pa Tea offers a unique mix of soft serve ice cream and milk tea. The shop is a little cafe with limited seating and self-service at the counter, accepting cashless and cash payments, which make it extremely convenient for a grab-and-go snack or dessert.
Their offerings are quite diverse and unique, especially since most everything is milk tea or boba-related. They offer soft-serve ice cream in black tea and hojicha (roasted green tea) flavors, or a swirl, and you can top it off with boba. Alternatively, if you are craving milk tea, you can convert it into a float, which incorporates the ice cream aspect again.
The tapioca pearls are prepared fresh every 2 hours, and that freshness really shines through--the boba is soft and extremely chewy, exactly what makes a great milk tea drink. They have boba in both large and small sizes, whether you prefer larger pearls to chew on for longer or tiny ones that are sprinkled around the top. There's so many different ways to customize that I couldn't even decide, so for those of you like me, you can always just try a mix of everything!
The only part of this cafe that was a little subpar is just the service and environment. You simply cannot work in here--it's almost a hole-in-the-wall joint because the line nearly always extends out the door and there's little to no seating at any time. The service is relatively slow, so the lines move slowly, so getting something here is a real time commitment. Luckily, there is A/C, which is a nice relief from the hot outside during summer hours, but you'll just have to tolerate the very compact interior set-up of this establishment. | ['great', 'unique', 'milk/bubble', 'ice', 'cream', 'dessert', 'would', 'definitely', 'recommend', 'minute', 'time', 'hand', 'cute', 'little', 'shop', 'near', 'chinatown', 'nyc', 'bar', 'offer', 'unique', 'mix', 'soft', 'serve', 'ice', 'cream', 'milk', 'shop', 'little', 'cafe', 'limited', 'seating', 'self-service', 'counter', 'accept', 'cashless', 'cash', 'payment', 'make', 'extremely', 'convenient', 'grab-and-go', 'snack', 'dessert', 'offering', 'quite', 'diverse', 'unique', 'especially', 'since', 'everything', 'milk', 'boba-related', 'offer', 'soft-serve', 'ice', 'cream', 'black', 'hojicha', 'roast', 'green', 'flavor', 'swirl', 'top', 'alternatively', 'crave', 'milk', 'convert', 'float', 'incorporate', 'ice', 'cream', 'aspect', 'tapioca', 'pearl', 'prepared', 'fresh', 'every', 'hour', 'freshness', 'really', 'shin', 'soft', 'extremely', 'chewy', 'exactly', 'make', 'great', 'milk', 'drink', 'large', 'small', 'size', 'whether', 'prefer', 'large', 'pearl', 'chew', 'long', 'tiny', 'one', 'sprinkle', 'around', 'top', 'many', 'different', 'way', 'customize', 'could', 'even', 'decide', 'like', 'always', 'try', 'mix', 'everything', 'part', 'cafe', 'little', 'subpar', 'service', 'environment', 'simply', 'work', 'almost', 'hole-in-the-wall', 'joint', 'line', 'nearly', 'always', 'extend', 'door', 'little', 'seating', 'time', 'service', 'relatively', 'slow', 'line', 'move', 'slowly', 'get', 'something', 'real', 'time', 'commitment', 'luckily', 'a/c', 'nice', 'relief', 'hot', 'outside', 'summer', 'hour', 'tolerate', 'compact', 'interior', 'set-up', 'establishment'] | great unique milk/bubble ice cream dessert would definitely recommend minute time hand cute little shop near chinatown nyc bar offer unique mix soft serve ice cream milk shop little cafe limited seating self-service counter accept cashless cash payment make extremely convenient grab-and-go snack dessert offering quite diverse unique especially since everything milk boba-related offer soft-serve ice cream black hojicha roast green flavor swirl top alternatively crave milk convert float incorporate ice cream aspect tapioca pearl prepared fresh every hour freshness really shin soft extremely chewy exactly make great milk drink large small size whether prefer large pearl chew long tiny one sprinkle around top many different way customize could even decide like always try mix everything part cafe little subpar service environment simply work almost hole-in-the-wall joint line nearly always extend door little seating time service relatively slow line move slowly get something real time commitment luckily a/c nice relief hot outside summer hour tolerate compact interior set-up establishment | 0.09 | 0.01 | 0.9 | 0.96 | positive |

I also tried grapefruit green tea, and I was glad to taste the bitterness of the grapefruit juice as well as the tea. My husband's black sugar oolong was pretty good too. Definitely a place we would visit again.
Why the four stars if this place is so great? Well, the cashier had a poker face and was taking our orders like a robot. It wouldn't hurt to greet your customers with smile and a bit of friendliness, or was that part of your job description?

It is for sure Instagram worthy because not only are the soft serve really pretty but it also has boba in it!!! What seriously didn't even know this was a thing. Maybe I'm a little late to this boba soft serve game but I'm so glad I tried it at Bar Pa Tea.
I decided to get the swirl which comes with two flavors in one cup. You can also pick from two choices if you want a medium size or a large size cup.
The only little thing I wish they had was a dairy free option for a swirl that would be awesome!!! But besides that little fact and the line out the door, this place is still serving up some mean looking soft serves.

never tried their soft serve, but lines of people ordered this even in the winter, will be back this summer to try it.

However.... one thing just really didn't sit well with me and I'm not sure I'll be back.
I was with a group of 5 people, we all ordered our own dessert. When we were about to leave, my very very pregnant friend asked to use the restroom. The girl behind the counter said restrooms were for employees only. I don't want to be unreasonable and reduce the overall rating just for this but it was a major turn off because she was just not nice about it. She was unapologetic and pretty snappy, offering no assistance whatsoever. Now I understand that a lot of places do this and it's perfectly understandable why places don't allow outsiders to use their restroom. But hey, you guys were 15 minutes from closing and it was very evident that my friend needed to use the restroom and was barely able to hold it -- to the point where she was pleading. A little flexibility please?

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 5/26/2019 | Reese D. | Quincy, MA | 3 star rating | Don't hate me but I really don't understand what is the fuss with this concept ice-cream place.
The review is based on the ice-cream alone. I had the soft serve with no added topping. The ice-cream itself was more like a sorbet with milk. I'm confused....is this supposed to be ice-cream or sorbet? For ice-cream, I'd say it's really bad. Lack creaminess, has ice crystal which eludes the soft serve of the smooth texture I look for in good ice cream and so little milk that I can taste it but don't understand why it's there.
Oh....and that hollow tunnel in the middle of the swirl.....At first, I thought the ice cream serving was gigantic till I dig in and discover that the middle is empty. How they manage to swirl the soft serve to create the hollow vortex to save on cost n give customers the impression they are getting great value for money is more power to the business owner. Hats off to you!
The 3 stars is for the regular iced oolong tea. You can definitely taste the strong tea flavor and the quality is decent. | ['hate', 'really', 'understand', 'fuss', 'concept', 'ice-cream', 'place', 'review', 'base', 'ice-cream', 'alone', 'soft', 'serve', 'added', 'topping', 'ice-cream', 'like', 'sorbet', 'milk', 'confused', '....', 'suppose', 'ice-cream', 'sorbet', 'ice-cream', 'would', 'say', 'really', 'bad', 'lack', 'creaminess', 'ice', 'crystal', 'elude', 'soft', 'serve', 'smooth', 'texture', 'look', 'good', 'ice', 'cream', 'little', 'milk', 'taste', 'understand', '....', 'hollow', 'tunnel', 'middle', 'swirl', '.....', 'first', 'think', 'ice', 'cream', 'serving', 'gigantic', 'till', 'dig', 'discover', 'middle', 'empty', 'manage', 'swirl', 'soft', 'serve', 'create', 'hollow', 'vortex', 'save', 'cost', 'give', 'customer', 'impression', 'get', 'great', 'value', 'money', 'power', 'business', 'owner', 'hat', 'star', 'regular', 'iced', 'oolong', 'definitely', 'taste', 'strong', 'flavor', 'quality', 'decent'] | hate really understand fuss concept ice-cream place review base ice-cream alone soft serve added topping ice-cream like sorbet milk confused .... suppose ice-cream sorbet ice-cream would say really bad lack creaminess ice crystal elude soft serve smooth texture look good ice cream little milk taste understand .... hollow tunnel middle swirl ..... first think ice cream serving gigantic till dig discover middle empty manage swirl soft serve create hollow vortex save cost give customer impression get great value money power business owner hat star regular iced oolong definitely taste strong flavor quality decent | 0.17 | 0.07 | 0.76 | 0.97 | positive |

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 5/26/2019 | Lyndsay G. | Boston, MA | 5 star rating | Wow, just wow! This place was amazing. I left thinking this was probably the best ice cream I've ever had and immediately told all my friends. I went over Easter weekend for their Easter special. They had little bunny butt cake pops as one of the add ones to make your ice cream 100% Instagram worthy. Unfortunately, they were all sold out of their Easter special when I arrived. Although disappointed, the ice cream itself totally made up for it. I ordered the jasmine matcha green tea and rose green tea swirl. It was so refreshing. I hope they bring it back because I honestly didn't think I would even like it and it was above and beyond my expectations. I will say there is usually a line and no place to really sit because it is a pretty small location. If going to grab something here it is likely more grab and go than sit and stay.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 5/25/2019 | Thu N. | Pembroke Pines, FL | 5 star rating | I've been wanting to go here for the longest time ever since I saw it on my IG feed, so this was on my must go to list this time while I'm in NYC. Went to it as it was opening so I didn't have to wait. It is a small shop so if you want a place to sit, come early.
I got the Swirled (black & Oolong) Soft Serve with bubbles and dusting of Oreo crumbles. I love the tea flavors since they are not too sweet and were refreshing. The bubble and oreo crumbles added a different texture to it. A perfect light dessert after a lunch or dinner. Would come here again for the soft serve and try their boba tea next time. | ['want', 'long', 'time', 'ever', 'since', 'saw', 'feed', 'must', 'list', 'time', 'nyc', 'went', 'open', 'wait', 'small', 'shop', 'want', 'place', 'sit', 'come', 'early', 'get', 'swirled', 'black', 'oolong', 'soft', 'serve', 'dusting', 'oreo', 'crumbles', 'love', 'flavor', 'since', 'sweet', 'refresh', 'oreo', 'crumbles', 'add', 'different', 'texture', 'perfect', 'light', 'dessert', 'lunch', 'dinner', 'would', 'come', 'soft', 'serve', 'try', 'next', 'time'] | want long time ever since saw feed must list time nyc went open wait small shop want place sit come early get swirled black oolong soft serve dusting oreo crumbles love flavor since sweet refresh oreo crumbles add different texture perfect light dessert lunch dinner would come soft serve try next time | 0.08 | 0.02 | 0.9 | 0.79 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 5/25/2019 | Jenny L. | Chelsea, Manhattan, NY | 4 star rating | Discovered another bubble tea place, got a matcha float with the ice cream. It was kinda rich with the milk and ice cream, tasted good in the beginning but got a little sick toward the end since they only sell it in large size. I like how you can mix the mini and large bubbles, their mini bubble definitely taste better since the large one turns pretty hard after a while. Most ppl seems to get the soft serves there with the bubbles, maybe I will try that next time | ['discovered', 'another', 'place', 'get', 'matcha', 'float', 'ice', 'cream', 'kind', 'rich', 'milk', 'ice', 'cream', 'taste', 'good', 'beginning', 'get', 'little', 'sick', 'toward', 'end', 'since', 'sell', 'large', 'size', 'like', 'mix', 'mini', 'large', 'mini', 'definitely', 'taste', 'good', 'since', 'large', 'one', 'turn', 'pretty', 'hard', 'people', 'seem', 'get', 'soft', 'serf', 'maybe', 'try', 'next', 'time'] | discovered another place get matcha float ice cream kind rich milk ice cream taste good beginning get little sick toward end since sell large size like mix mini large mini definitely taste good since large one turn pretty hard people seem get soft serf maybe try next time | 0.19 | 0.06 | 0.76 | 0.93 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 5/23/2019 | Nicole C. | Natick, MA | 5 star rating | Many things in NY are overhyped but this one is WORTH IT! I was skeptical going in because I've had so much soft serve before and didn't think this one could be THAT much better. BUT I was so wrong! This was my favorite thing I ate during my NY trip and it exceeded all of my expectations. The soft serve is rich and the flavors are strong without just being overbearingly sweet. I got the jasmine matcha flavor and loved it. My friend had a rose matcha one but I wasn't a huge fan of that one.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 5/17/2019 | Michael A. | New York, NY | 3 star rating | Been here a couple times.
A nice small, clean, and modern inside.
Staff is friendly.
Not much to say about this place but I do enjoy their soft serve ice cream.
I've also tried their salted caramel oolong tea, which isnt bad. It's very light in taste and refreshing on a cold rainy day.
As for the pricing, it's on par with other bubble tea shops within the city. | ['couple', 'time', 'nice', 'small', 'clean', 'modern', 'inside', 'staff', 'friendly', 'much', 'say', 'place', 'enjoy', 'soft', 'serve', 'ice', 'cream', 'also', 'try', 'salt', 'caramel', 'oolong', 'bad', 'light', 'taste', 'refreshing', 'cold', 'rainy', 'day', 'pricing', 'par', 'shop', 'within', 'city'] | couple time nice small clean modern inside staff friendly much say place enjoy soft serve ice cream also try salt caramel oolong bad light taste refreshing cold rainy day pricing par shop within city | 0.19 | 0.02 | 0.79 | 0.91 | positive |

I usually get the boba toppings but thought I'd try the waffle stroop waffle this time. Bad mistake. I definitely would not recommend adding the stroop waffle.
