Teariffic Cafe New York, New York

Explore Chinatown describes Teariffic Cafe as "a good place to check out the hip, young bubble tea scene," adding that "the room sizzles with energy." Within the eatery's warm brick-laden interior, beverage experts craft tea-, coffee-, and fruit-based drinks of every ilk. In addition to classic thai and peppermint green teas, the baristas concoct exotic specialty drinks such as the Grasshopper: a mix of orange and passionfruit juice, honey, and blue curaçao. They pour seasonal offerings as well, including watermelon or mango juice, and they blend shakes with avocado, fresh papaya, and locally harvested ice.

As a sweet accompaniment, guests can try a piece of pineapple shortcake. The café also satisfies late-night cravings with savory dishes including samosas, noodle soups, and dumplings.
