Reviews
Really nice service and bubble tea. There are only 2 employees, but they get the drinks out pretty fast. I'm glad that they have a bubble tea shop nearby City College. It may get busy during lunch break. Definitely recommend.
A no frills tea shop that also serves food and snacks. They are right beside City College and nearby the 1 train so it is easily accessible. I really love stopping by because it is probably the best boba shop in Upper Manhattan. I really love getting the lavender lemonade with lychee jelly. Definitely worth stopping by!
This place has a chill vibe. Ordering was easy, and the drinks came quickly!
From the moment I stepped into Tidal tea, I knew I was in for a treat. Not just because of the inviting decor that radiates a sense of calm and coziness. One of the standout features for me, has been the customizable sugar levels and lactose free milk alternative.
But what truly makes Tidal Tea a gem for me is their wonderful staff. Every visit feels like coming home to a group of friends. Their smiles are infectious, their service impeccable, and their kindness shines through in every interaction. A special hats off to the owner for cultivating such an atmosphere of warmth and genuine connection.
My teas were very good and nicely sized. They don’t include the “bubbles,” but they can be added for just 60 cents extra as well as a variety of other extras like aloe. They also have special popping flavored bubbles such as mango flavored and aloe along with other additional options you can add to your drink.
They allow you to choose the level of sugar you prefer as well as how much ice you’d like in your beverage.
They offer a small selection of food: chicken dumplings and a chili noodle dish among a couple other appetizer-type items, but it’s mainly just for teas: of which they have a large variety of flavors and customization options.
I ordered four drink and chili oil noodles. Three drinks were good but peach tea did not taste or look like a peach tea. I had to throw it away because it tasted so weird. Never order Chili Oil noodles. Really look at the picture. Nothing but oil and noodles and it tasted bland. I couldn't even eat it. One of the worst noodle I ate from the restaurant. Like no kidding. I still gave three star because other three boba were good.

(+) Points associated with a phone number
(+) Follow their Instagram page for one free topping
Cons:
(-) Currently, no lactose-free liquid base. Please add other milk alternatives for lactose intolerant customers (ex. almond milk, etc)
This is our local fave , they set standards on what good milk tea taste like. We have several milk tea shops that we tried in harlem/washington heights and tidal tea makes it best.
We love taro, lychee yorgurt, mango and their crab onigiri. Perfect snack combo
Their bubbles are perfectly made.
