Mr Golden Milk Tea

His review is overdue and definitely deserving. Now bubble tea or boba has been a favorite for me for many years. I would get it during my breaks and co workers would ask where. I have a couple of laces where I normally order on Long Island. Most of the authentic or ‘legit’ spots are in Queens or Chinatown.
It was one of my colleagues who told me there was a new boba spot that we should try out. I thought it was a mistake because the place was not, in my opinion, the best place to establish such business.
However I could understand the business reasoning (giving my best evaluation). Even though that particular part of town may not be considered the best the location is near what is considered the ‘Hofstra strip’ which is home to well known Hofstra university and some local bars that are busy on peak nights.
Having the only boba spot in the area made sense after considering all the pros. They have been open for probably a year now. When I first visited last year (hence why I prefaced his post as being long overdue) it floored me how magnificent the place looked. Interior is very very spacious with tables and booths. The walls are adorned with various artwork that gives the place an intellectual vibe. The overall ambience is very pleasant and peaceful. It reminded me of the fancy Hong Kong dessert spots that you can find in San Francisco.
You can choose to sit in a booth or a table. The bar area is massive long table where you make your order. The person attending to is at the time was very helpful and polite. Pricing can be considered a bit high. The rose gold milk tea was the popular choice. And for dessert a Mille crêpe, which I had never tried before. We were told they arrive fresh daily. I had tried matcha that time and chocolate another time.
The place looks very high end and is worth a try if you are in the area.

It was okay — the décor is really cute, but the staff wasn’t really friendly/​pleasant. Just dropped in for coffee with a friend, wouldn’t recommend it nor dissuade anyone from going

It’s not your average Coco, Quickly, or Kung Fu Tea but if you’re looking for a place that heavily focuses on flavor, I would try this place out. I got the matcha and taro milk tea and they were pleasantly different. Not a lot of sugar so it’s not sweet but their taste gives off a natural flavor. I would definitely recommend the taro milk tea if you’re trying to satisfy your sweet tooth

This is a hidden beauty in a not so great town. I was surprised when I walked in. The décor was so fresh, simple & bright. Oh, and CLEAN. I loved it. Very inviting and quiet. I tried the bubble tea, it was rich in flavor. I ordered the lavender bubble tea. I dont know what made me order that, but it had like a real flowery taste to it. Duh, hence the name. It was good, but I need to try different flavors. They have tons to choose from. I also noticed they had caramel macchiatos and coffee. The desserts were VERY pricey. I didn’t order dessert, so I can’t comment on that. I will return for some more coffee & bubble tea.

I was in search of Bubble Tea and was pleasantly surprised that there was one on my way to the highway. When I stepped inside I was shocked at the beautiful décor. This gem was hidden away. The bubble tea was excellent. I recommend this place to everyone!!!

Great little hidden spot in the middle of a not so good neighborhood, but near two colleges. As soon as I walked in I was amazed by the space. It was so clean and white. I love how the place looks like it belongs in a magazine. What I did not like though was that there was no place for the pastries outside of the kitchen, the girl had to get them to show them to me, but otherwise it was a good experience. The girl at the counter was a sweetheart. I had an almond milk tea btw.

They have a full-​pictured menu of all the drinks. I ordered a taro smoothie and that was really good except the boba was a little too hard for my liking. The pricing is reasonable. I ordered the large size and it was under $ 5. The interior is very modern. It’s aesthetically pleasing with all the art work and super comfortable booths. I’d definitely come back.

Nice place. Very clean. But bubble tea was really bad. I would go back for tea, not bubble tea.
Don’t use the bathroom. It’s very dirty. I don’t understand why they would clean the lobby but not the bathroom!!!

This place is beautiful and the tea is delicious. It is way out of place in this neighborhood, but well worth the visit.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first walked into Mr. Golden’s Milk Tea. The ambience was modern and featured many celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj in a beautiful art gallery-​like fashion. I didn’t understand the music, but it definitely fit the place and was very enjoyable to listen to.
I chose the Rose Cream Milk Tea, which was AMAZING. It had a very sweet and subtle floral taste and was decorated with a flower bud on top. I LOVED that attention to detail.
Finally, the service there was very nice. The lady who was working when I went was very kind and was able to tell that I was a first timer to the place. She explained as much as she could and was very patient with my cluelessness. Overall the place deserved a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ I would DEFINITELY go again.

I went to catch up with a friend at Mr. Golden Milk Tea. It was a little difficult to find parking in the lot at around 4:30 on a Sunday. There was only one spot available. The inside is very clean and decorated nicely. I had the Rose Milk Bubble tea which was very good. It was refreshing, the bubbles were cooked nicely, the drink wasn’t overly sweet or too floral. My friend had the oolong milk bubble tea warm and that was also very good. The woman at the counter was super friendly and even served us our drinks at the table. I’m happy to see a quality bubble tea place closer to home.

they got rid of the previous employees that were terrible. it’s almost perfect now! just a little overpriced.

This establishment is one of its kind in the area so I’m glad it’s around but I wasn’t happy with my taro milk tea («boy size»). It was the worst milk tea I’ve ever had. It looked and tasted like cold milk. I hope it’s a one-​time fluke. The stars are for the chic ambiance, cleanliness and hope that my next experience will be better.

Been meaning drop in since I saw they opened and finally got the chance. Glad I came. Place is adorable not what I was expecting, I was planning on getting mine to go but the atmosphere was great the décor was nice so we stayed in. Had an iced almond milk bubble tea, wanted to get something basic to see if they were good and they are! Service was fast and the guy behind the counter was super nice and helpful. Can’t wait to come back.

pretty nice drinks but not good as i expected, those dessert is little bit expensive not very worth that price, thought a good place, nice furniture and relax environment. Plus, Not good for study.

This tea house is located in strip mall next to a wireless store and a laundromat. It stands out also because of a golden car parked in front.
Inside there are booths to sit and there are nice paintings inside. A nice relaxing atmosphere.
I decided to try some milk tea. I tried the oolong milk tea as recommended by the staff. Admittedly I don’t like paying a lot of money for tea. However the tea was the best that I ever had! You can definitely taste that the tea leaves were fresh and not made from a tea bag. Very flavorful.
The desserts were pricy so I probably will not try them.
A welcome edition to the neighborhood and not far from Hofstra.

Very nice place and yummy food! Beautiful decorations! Love it. Wish I have the stomach to try some cakes as well.

I tried the cakes here today. That was so awesome. I have never seen any cakes like that.

I had jasmine milk tea today. It is really good! The nice jasmine scent spreads in your mouth once you sip. The coconut jelly is fresh, which is extra credit!
Location is close to HOFSTRA university.
PS: boss is super pretty!!!

Today will be day 4 since the opening of Mr. Golden’s and my friends and I were glad we saw this art gallery of a tea house as we prowled Fulton Avenue for dinner.
Not your average milk tea or bubble tea house. The choice of location was surprising and that’s a great thing. I’m sure students of Hofstra will welcome this addition to their neighborhood.
Enter Mr. Golden’s and immediately you will notice bold paintings hung across the wall’s. From paintings of Rhihana to Miley Cyrus. In other sections are ceramics and tea sets. Little glass globes filled with faux lux sands and artificial flowers adorn several of the tables. Large white faux leather seats is what you can sink into as you sip away your worries. The little tea house is light (literally) and airy. Light wood, gold, and white colors are tastefully harmonized in this space.
But enough about the physical location. Since this is more of a tea house and the master minds of Mr. Golden’s seem to have more of a focus around actual teas and teaism, don’t expect sugar loaded drinks which should count as a meal. Try Mr. Golden’s Best! My husband who loves the potent rich bubble teas of Chinatown was able to enjoy Mr. Golden’s Best with little complaints of the difference. This is an ideal choice for people who are not accustomed to true and original milk teas that are actually tea based. The rose cream milk tea was also good, but if you attribute roses to perfume I recommend trying something else like the banana smoothie which was recommended.
This is milk tea, desserts, and tea for adults. They even have a drink titled «Alcoholic». But oddly enough drinks are given size distinctions such as «girl» or «boy». Any idea which cup is larger?
