Molly Tea (Columbia University)

Bubble tea keeps evolving, but the basics stay the same: chewy pearls, creamy bases, and endless skinnable toppers. Whether you opt for milk tea’s balanced bite or fruit teas’ bright snap, the only hard rule is craving a spot to sip while walking. Up on Broadway, Molly Tea (Columbia University) is ready to meet that craving after class or on the way to campus.

Walk to the corner of 2857 Broadway in New York, NY 10025, step inside, and they’ll have your order ready for onsite sipping, quick takeout, or grabbing to take somewhere else. Seasonal flavors rotate, and if something catchy appears on the board you can usually count on it being there both ways.

The map is easiest for walk-ups—try the directions link right from campus: they open early and close late so the window stays open whenever thirst hits. After you’re in the door, just give them a call at *646-454-9813* and they’ll slide your cup across the counter.
