Celebritea Cafe

It opens early so it is convenient for me go and get something in the morning before going to my destinated place. The prices are pretty fair and they have a big selection on drinks. They even have macaroons and onigiris. The sad thing is that they dont sell onigiris until 11 am: c But overall, its a really good and peaceful café and the workers there are really nice.

Really hate to rate this 2 stars, because the staff was so friendly!
On a rainy cold day, I decided to finally buy some bubble tea. I walked in to a friendly productive staff and ordered a Large Caramel Bubble tea. Major Regret. The Caramel tea was artificial tasting (?) and lacked enough sugar to me. The boba was the major disappointment. The boba was super bland. No flavor at all. Tossed out after drinking half because i didn’t want to waste all my money. The pros were that they offer large teas, many flavors and cheap.
I plan to give it a second chance and maybe just stick to honeydew boba.

There is a guy here that makes better milk teas than I’ve had in all of Chinatown, parts of China, and even Hong Kong (yes I’m aware that HK milk tea is a tad different but it doesn’t matter, I still like this one more). That shit is incredible.
However my last visit was a zero star experience. Not going to lie, the vast majority of my trips to Celebritea are sad and underwhelming because there’s only one person there that can properly make the milk tea. It ranges from watery garbage water tea to milky garbage water tea when made by literally any other employee. Today’s milk tea falls short of even my lowest standards, I threw it out after my first sip.
The only reason I’m only taking two stars (instead of four) off is because it’s my own damn fault for even going in there and ordering something when I know damn well my guy isn’t there. It’s just kind of out of the way and even when I see unfamiliar faces behind the counter, I always tell myself «eh, you made the trip so you might as well get one.» Next time I’ll just tell myself to shut the hell up and keep on walking.
To the guy that masterfully crafts my milk teas and my boyfriends coffees, give me your hours so I can end this vicious cycle. Because if I pay $ 2.50 for another craptastic milk tea, I’ll lose my damn mind and bring apocalyptic wrath upon this establishment.

I was extremely disappointed in this café. I had a craving for bubble tea and had walk from montauge st. to Dekalb where the location was. I went in the store with the intention of getting a passion fruit bubble tea. When I placed my order the first thing that was told me was that he had no bubbles (the best part) I was disappointed but another women in the store told me lechee another form of bubbles was just as good (it wasn’t). I then made my way home and half way through my drink pulled something strong out of my mouth. To my surprise a piece of hair was in my mouth I immediately gagged on the bus. I was in shock I then fished out one more hair out of the bottom of my drink. This place may be cute and cozy but sanitary wise they need to step it greatly. Very disappointed plus when I called the place I got no answer.

Possibly the worst espresso I’ve ever had. The interior is decent, but by no means good enough to make up for the travesty they call coffee.

FREE wifi, pretty cool about it, but one outlet. They don’t have actual food, just snacks like yogurt, or sometimes oatmeal.
Cashier is mad cool and music is great too. Nice, stools but no ACTUAL food, food like make a meal out o’it…
Edit: there is no soup and stews and things on the weekend, they have it only on WEEKDAYS.

Excellent bubble tea with a friendly and helpful staff! Try the peach black bubble tea. It was recommended to me and I LOVED it.

Had to run in here after experiencing some train difficulties (sick person, derailment and traffic). Needed some free wiFi and a coffee. These guys are great. Helpful with the internet, decent coffee and super respectful to all their customers. Not sure if I’ll ever find myself at a Celebritea again, but I really enjoyed my time here when I was in a bind! You go guys :)

Great little spot. The guy behind the counter served up a hot and 1.5 dollar cup of coffee and with a smile (which is more that can be said about other coffee shops in Bay Ridge).
This is likely to become a regular spot for me only if the annoying high school boy chatter is tempered a little bit. I’ll have to try it again well after the last bell goes off at the nearby high school. Conversations about which Axe is better and double football practices gets old fast.
Other than that… great spot!

If there’s anything I love more than puns (bravo on the name), it’s Bubble Tea.
I’m very excited that there’s a tea place right near my work. I have to say from my positive experience here, it’s possible I may become a regular. This small, yet cute café is ideal for a quick pick-​me-​up throughout your busy work day. They’re reasonable in price* and have a decent selection of flavors drink-​wise. I don’t know why it hasn’t crossed my mind until now, but you can get your bubble tea hot. And it’s damn good. Their Almond and Taro are equally as delicious. Also, the barista was friendly and patient with my indecisive self. If bubble tea isn’t your thing they have other items like cappuccinos, fraps, baked goods and even banh mi!
I’ll definitely be back.
*Small $ 2.50/Medium $ 3.00/Large $ 4.00

Celebritea serves bubble tea, coffee, espresso, oatmeal, rice & stew bowls, and assorted snacks. They’re pretty small, with seating for about 15. There’s no inviting music or comfy chairs to invite you to stay — its more a grab and go or quick chat type of place.
Today was my first trip and I got the pumpkin spice bubble tea for $ 3.25. The guys behind the counter were quick, happy to help, and nice. The bubble tea was tasty — good flavor tea, not too much ice (although in hindsight I should have asked for hot tea), and the pumpkin spice was present but not overwhelming. Based on the flavor, they don’t seem to use powdered mixes — it tastes pretty legit. But I do wish they made their tapioca with a little sugar or honey — the boba fell a bit flat for me in an otherwise great tea, coming off as tough and bland.
Next time I’ll get coffee or food and see how that goes. The oatmeal seems to be a major crowd pleaser too. For now, we’re A Okay!

Fantastic service. They’re always quick, the place is clean, and the coffee is consistently good. I’ve been coming here several times a week for over a year now and I’ve never had a bad experience.
I’ve only had regular brewed coffee and the Green Tea smoothie (?). To eat I’ve had the oatmeal and the yogurt, both of which let you choose from an array of toppings. Pretty good, especially for the price.
I wouldn’t recommend this place for a serene study spot but definitely for a good place to grab coffee with a co-​worker or get some work done.

So I trotted down to Fort Greene last week for bubble tea because it was on my way home… boy, do I regret not coming here more often when I attended Brooklyn Tech.
I expected service to be mediocre since there were only two people working there – the cashier and the barista. And especially since a flock of Tech kids were still there at 5pm. But nope, service was wonderful! I got my drink within a minute of ordering.
I ordered a medium passion fruit tea with lychee jelly. Mm it was so good and it waa only 3 dollars! It’s pretty cheap compared to other bubble tea places. I was surprised that they had froyo! Haha too bad it was too cold to eat it.
A+ for you, Celebritea! Keep up the good work.

Not the best but not the worst. I’ve been here twice– once I had the taro with fruit jelly and the second time I had passionfruit bubble tea. The fruit jelly was not mixed in well enough and all the syrupy flavor was on the bottom. Overall not too bad, a tad bit sweet. The second time, the bubbles were hard little balls, and there was too much ice.

Good coffee. I’m no coffee connoisseur so I can’t offer any useful insight other than the girl at LIU Subway said it smelled good and that it couldn’t have been from the campus shop.
I have yet to try their other products but they also offer banh mi now, which was prematurely put on the menu the day I ordered it. Kinda disappointed about it but I go to school nearby so I will be back soon.
I’ve been twice now and the service has been friendly and quick. The shop is clean and it’s über convenient for me. Thumbs up!

Great place for college kids to get a quick coffee and and a bangin’ $ 5 oatmeal!
The oatmeal has unlimited toppings like blueberries, strawberries, a bunch seed choices, nuts, etc.
If you want a hot and full belly for breakfast, you can’t beat oatmeal. However, I hate wrapped muffins and grab and go packaged bars. If you want a fresh croissant, its not being served here

Pretty delicious bubble tea, coffee, and other various drinks for a very good price. I always come here for their Green Tea Matcha Latte Smoothie with Tapioca. Their Banh Mi is surprisingly good and filling too! The café is always clean and the environment is very spacious. A good location to relax or grab a quick beverage on the go. Service as well as their staff is excellent too! The barista had no problem remaking my drink when I thought it was too sweet.
Overall, I highly recommend this café!

Was attending a seminar at Brooklyn Hospital and was early. This place caught my eye because of the chalkboard outside showing their seasonal drinks. I decided a pumpkin spice latte was just what this doctor ordered. I was pleasantly surprised by the strong pumpkin and coffee flavor though it was overly sweet. The next day I was early again and had a run of the mill latte. The coffee is good, you can’t take that from them.
The service both times was excellent. The baristas had smiles on their faces and despite the hour, were very energetic. I had to take off a star because both times, I was unable to find a comfortable chair in the place. The stools by the windows were not made well and the chairs felt awkward against my back.

We used Celebritea Café to throw a bridal shower this past Saturday for about 14 guests. They offered us a very fairly priced package that included light refreshments (scones, tarts, bubble teas, etc.) with the private event space.
We arrived at the café a couple of hours before the actual event time to set up. The staff at hand even helped us put up some of the decorations and made sure that whatever mess we made while preparing was thoroughly cleaned before the start of the shower. During the shower, our guests ordered from their regular drink menu which had enough variety to please everyone. Drinks came out in a timely manner as to not interrupt the flow of the party.
The venue is clean and bright. It is fairly spacious and can comfortably host parties of 15 – 20, if not more. The location is convenient: it is right over the bridge from the city and is easily accessible by public transportation. (We had guest from New Jersey, Manhattan, and Queens)
The management was very accommodating and really went that extra step to make sure that we got what we needed to make our bridal shower successful.
I would definitely recommend Celebritea Café to anyone who is looking for a private event venue.

Really good banh mi! It’s comparable to that legendary place on Grand St actually, although I should probably go back there to make a more accurate comparison. anyways!
They have a lot of specials, so it’s not like super over priced or anything. I also had a passion fruit green tea bubble tea… Which is the best I’ve actualy had– not too sweet like some places :)
It’s really clean, neat, and aesthetically appealing inside. I see a lot of college students studying in here sometimes so it might be a good place to do that when it’s not like super crowded or anything.
Fast service.
