Débutea 217 Thompson Street, Manhattan, New York 10012

"Taro milk tea with cheese foam on top, so rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. A very delicious drink!"

"It’s an old spot in neighborhood, never had chance to try. Today finally want to give it a chance. We ordered the avocado swirl and the Osmanthus Milk. I liked how the aromatic osmanthus flavored was. But the jelly was not that great as I thought. Avocado swirl was exactly I how we expected. It was great combination. The atmosphere was not cleans and tidy. It wasn’t the way how it should be."

"Many beverages to choose from and options to customize your drink! We had bubble tea, it was nice. We sat inside to drink it in a bench, they do not have tables like a cafeteria, I believe it's designed to order and take away."

"My favorite boba / bubble tea place in the city. The Bobo tea is my favorite because it tastes like the classic Milk Tea flavor, but honestly everything on the menu is so good. I always stop by when I’m near the area, and it never disappoints. All of the fruit teas are incredibly fresh tasting, perfect for the summer. All of the “tea” teas are delicious, and you can still taste the tea flavor under all the milk and sugar. To me, that’s the indication of a good milk tea. I want to be able to still taste the yummy tea notes underneath all the milk and sugar. Another important thing is that their boba pearls are cooked PERFECTLY and you can tell they were marinating in a brown sugar syrup. Some places cook it too long and the boba gets mushy, and other places don’t realize you need to soak the boba in a brown sugar syrup so they actually taste SWEET. The worst thing in life is a flavorless boba pearl. 100% would recommend everyone to come try this place out. I have yet to find a better boba place in the city, so Debutea is my Numberonetea for now!"

"It’s hard to find good boba tea, and this spot has some of the best I’ve found in the city! I had the brown sugar boba. Most boba places don’t have alternative milk options, but this spot offered oat, almond, and soy milk. They have a small community library as well. And their tea containers are so cute! I washed mine so I could propagate some plants in it."
