Teavour stands as a standout among the bubble tea spots in Rockville Centre. To make matters even better, the owners are known for their exceptional kindness and patience, often surprising customers with free samples and complimentary treats. So we’ll make it easy on you – visit Teavour for their legendary boba teas, where you’ll find perfectly textured pearls that elevate every sip.

Gong cha
$ | (516) 396-0059 | WEBSITE
Located in Rockville Centre, Gong Cha’s menu has solid versions of everything from milk foam green tea to brown sugar teas to mango tea with popping boba, but you should concentrate on the waffles.

Black Pearl Bubble Tea (Green Acres)
$ | (516) 226-3796 | WEBSITE
Black Pearl Bubble Tea in Green Acres offers a variety of tasty drinks like mango cheer, tropical paradise, and Jamaican coffee, and all of them are refreshing, affordable, and very delicious. Our favorite thing on the menu is the Tropical Paradise fruit tea that’s so good, you’ll wonder why all bubble tea shops don’t offer a tropical option. Order in person.
YAAAS TEA Rockville Centre
$ | (516) 517-5555 | WEBSITE
YAAAS TEA Rockville Centre often gets overlooked in the hyper-competitive bubble tea scene of Rockville Centre, but let it be known that this clean, well-located store is serving tremendous bubble tea and desserts. As the name suggests, bubble tea is their specialty, and yes, it’s fresh—they make a new batch of boba every hour—but we always throw in an order of their matcha strawberry tea, brown sugar shaken espresso bubble tea, and Nutella and banana croffle as well. Call them to order.
Takeout or delivery is also available on most major platforms like their app or Uber Eats.
Big boom chicken
$ | (516) 262-2751 | WEBSITE
Located in Rockville Centre, Big Boom Chicken is a neighborhood spot with food worth driving long distances to pick up. Our favorite stuff resides on their crispy chicken menu, but you can’t really go wrong with anything here. They also have a great selection of bubble teas. Delivery and takeout available through Postmates, or call (516) 555-0123 to order.
Thai Ramen and Bubble Tea
$ | (516) 812-7888 | WEBSITE
Thai Ramen and Bubble Tea’s pad thai is one of Rockville Centre’s most satisfying dishes, and grabbing a late-night bite with a refreshing bubble tea in hand is something we all need in our lives right now. That said, this popular spot serves plenty of other great things, like fried rice pineapple, wings with peanut sauce, and vegetable dumplings filled generously with potatoes. Available for takeout and delivery.
Gong Cha – Little Neck
$ | (917) 444-1637 | WEBSITE
Gong Cha – Little Neck is an all-around solid bubble tea spot, but if you aren’t ordering the classic milk tea with boba here, you’re doing yourself a disservice. This beautiful drink is perfectly sweet, refreshing, and not in the least bit cloying. It also holds up quite well during transport. The friendly staff and quick service make it a reliable choice.
Anda Boba Tea & Red Mango in Bayside, Oakland Garden NY
$ | (718) 819-8691 | WEBSITE
Anda Boba Tea & Red Mango in Bayside has been a local favorite for bubble tea, but it wasn’t until I tried their Trinity Milk Tea at 25% sugar that it went from being a neighborhood spot to a place that everybody should be seeking out. The menu is full of standout drinks, particularly when it comes to the fruit teas – the mango pomelo and the mango grapefruit & cheese drink are two of our favorites.
The ambiance is small but quaint and clean, with friendly staff making it a pleasant place to visit again.
Yaaas Tea (New Hyde Park)
$ | (516) 758-3888 | WEBSITE
Yaaas Tea offers a delightful selection of bubble tea and boba options – perfect for when you’re craving something sweet but can’t settle on just one flavor. That said, the passion fruit green tea should definitely be part of your order. Available near the Lake Success shopping center.
Chai Shop
$ | (516) 408-9777 | WEBSITE
One of our Best Bubble Tea Spots of 2025, Chai Shop serves creamy, rich Kashmiri milk tea, both hot and cold, with perfect-texture boba. The mango milk bubble tea resembles a lighter version of mango lassi. This hidden gem is tucked inside a charming pharmacy, so you can shop for your needs and leave with some boba, making your day better. The owner is known for their kindness and sweetness, making it a cool boba store worth visiting again.
Visit the pharmacy location in Rockville Centre, or call ahead if you’re in the area.
Yaya Tea Hicksville
$ | (516) 216-1101 | WEBSITE
If you’re in Rockville Centre, Yaya Tea Hicksville is where you should be getting bubble tea. The extensive selection of teas with all those customization options is a bit overwhelming, but you should be focusing mainly on the boba tea and Japanese snacks, like the Peach flavored rice cake and the Large Shrimp Tempura Rice Ball. These are the items that customers consistently praise, and they are delicious.
There’s also a variety of cute merchandise for sale, like character pillows and tea assortments. Available for dine-in with wheelchair accessibility.
Kiko Ramen Manhasset
$ | (516) 682-2268 | WEBSITE
Did you have one too many meetings today at your desk? Just do what we do and grab a casual meal from Kiko Ramen Manhasset. The welcoming restaurant in Rockville Centre offers a variety of Asian comfort food dishes, but their ramen is the star of the show. If a bowl of their tonkatsu ramen can’t lift your spirits after a long day, you were doomed from the start.
The well-lit space and attentive service make it a great spot for a satisfying meal, with generous portions that offer good value for the price.
Koi Ramen and Bubble Tea
$$ | (516) 502-1550 | WEBSITE
For a while, Rockville Centre lacked great ramen options, but that changed once Koi Ramen and Bubble Tea opened its doors. The sister spot to a popular local chain, Koi has the same great food as the original, plus takeout and delivery options as well. Delivery available through most major platforms, or by calling (516) 555-0123.

Swan Crepe

If you’re in Rockville Centre and craving crepes or Asian-inspired dishes, Swan Crepe is a solid choice. This cozy spot serves consistently good versions of chicken teriyaki and sweet or savory crepes, making it a convenient option for takeout or a quick dine-in meal. The friendly staff and reasonable prices—most items hover around $10–$15—add to its appeal, though the decor and seating could use a refresh. Still, for a satisfying, no-fuss bite, it’s a reliable go-to.
Kenko Asian Cuisine
$ | (516) 623-0130 | WEBSITE
If you’re anything like us, you spend a handful of nights on the couch dreaming of Kenko’s sliced beef pho and grilled pork banh mi, but never find the energy to drive and pick some up. That’s not a problem anymore, considering this Merrick spot is just a quick walk from the train station. Drop by, or call the restaurant directly.
TIGER SUGAR
$ | (516) 882-4999 | WEBSITE
We love the matcha bubble tea, caramel options, and signature black sugar drink here, but the fact is, you can’t really order wrong at this Rockville Centre staple. There’s tablet ordering that makes picking up your drink a breeze, but if you want to do delivery instead, they’re on most major platforms.
Tea Magic
$$ | (516) 778-8228 | WEBSITE
Open since 2021, Tea Magic is one of the most popular bubble tea spots in Rockville Centre, and your best bet if you’re craving boba tea around Long Island. Their lavender milk tea is the stuff of legend, and if you ask nicely enough, they’ll probably throw in some incredible, off-menu mango milk tea with boba to your order as well. Delivery and takeout are both available through their website or by calling the shop directly.
Poke & Tea
$ | (516) 208-6133 | WEBSITE
Poke & Tea is a popular spot on the island, but some locations might have limited hours. Don’t worry though, their Rockville Centre restaurant is open and serving, meaning you can still get their fresh volcano poke bowls, customizable passionfruit fruit tea with strawberry pearls, or quick and friendly service. Both takeout and delivery available.
