Débutea Brooklyn

"“My team was like, ‘Have you had enough of that place?’ Because every time I have an in-person interview, I go to Debutea. I just love bubble tea and it's pretty close to home. I don't mind going to the same place twice. That place is great. It's lovely. It's really casual. They have a tea accessories wall that I just think is visually very beautiful to look at. I'm pretty standard: I'll do—which they don't have at every bubble tea place—an osmanthus oolong. I'm just a floral kind of girlie. I love to eat flowers and plants and shit. I love that because it's a departure from my other normal order, which is a rose black tea with almond milk. I always get boba and I really like those like rectangular coconut jellies. [A lot of places] have rectangular lychee jelly, but they don't have them at Debutea, which is depressing. So instead I get the grass jelly, which is a good close second.”" - brennan carley

"Lots of boba shops sell snacks, but Debutea, a full-service cafe with locations in Downtown Brooklyn and Greenwich Village, also has a food menu with things like egg salad sandos, unagi don, and poke—making it a great spot for a casual lunch or a low-key date. The drinks menu covers all the bases with a selection of hot teas by the pot, tons of fruit tea options (try the Pinkglow Pineapple), a selection of cheese foam teas, and four classic boba milk teas." - molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus

We’re especially fond of the Jade Dew cheese foam tea." - Carina Finn
