With a five-star Yelp rating out seven reviews, Bubbleology has been getting positive attention.
Yelper Sabrina P., who reviewed Bubbleology on Feb. 3, wrote, "Great selection of bubble teas ranging from your typical taro to specialty teas like the Pink Teddy, which has pieces of shortbread crumbs. Waffles were amazing with gelato ice cream. Customizable to your liking of toppings like fruits, sprinkles, cookie crumbs and more."
Carol L. noted, "I was also able to get a passionfruit lychee jelly drink that was perfectly sweet! I would recommend that if you like a sweeter drink, get their fruit drinks. Their plain jasmine oat milk tea with boba at 50 percent sugar kinda tasted like 10 percent sugar. Only recommendation I have is for this place is to boil their boba in brown sugar or honey because their pearls are a little less flavorful than most other places in NYC."
Bubbleology is now open at 120 1/2 First Ave. Stop on by to check it out.

Yelper Marisa M. wrote, "Best bubble tea ever! I had the red bean milk tea with added bubbles and cheese. Zero percent sugar. It didn't need any sugar. And the cheese is sweet, salty and creamy. It was delicious."

Yelper Jenny M., who reviewed Utepia Tea on Feb. 9, wrote, "I ordered a rose milk tea with lychee jelly and the classic milk tea with herbal jelly. It tasted heavenly. It's definitely a lot more milky tasting. The rose milk tea used a flavor syrup which did not taste like perfume at all. That's a plus in my book!"
Lucas C. noted, "I had the custom dark oolong milk tea with herbal jelly. The jelly tastes sweet, which is quite nice. The tea itself is good too. Right amount of sugar, right amount of milk. The service is quite good."
Utepia Tea is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. daily.

Yelper Jenny N. wrote, "Bubble tea and chicken! What more can you ask for? They also offer a self-order machine. I usually get the taro milk tea; worth paying a little more to get it hot."
