Hi Tea
167 Marshall St, Syracuse, NY
Crema's Take
“This cozy Syracuse gem has earned a devoted following for bubble tea that people genuinely drive hours out of their way for—the quality is that good. Beyond exceptional boba and creative tea drinks, Hi Tea excels at pairing its beverage menu with craveable food like their celebrated fried rice, all served in a bright, thoughtfully decorated space that feels genuinely welcoming whether you're solo or with family. It's the kind of place where the combination of skill, warmth, and attention to detail turns a casual drink stop into a reason to visit the city.”

Lovely spot for unique drinks if you like to try something new and the best fried rice!!!
I had their boba tea and it was delicious. I wish I bought food because it smelled so good. The sit down area is clean, well lit, and the decor is really cute. They also sell packaged snacks and coffee tumblrs. The staff were really friendly. I will certainly be going there again!
Hands down, best bubble tea I have had in the US. No question. I make excuses to visit Syracuse to go here. The tea is great, the staff is friendly, and the space is cozy and welcoming. Recommend kiwi basil tea and fruit tea bar!
My recent visit to Hi Tea in Syracuse with my family was absolutely amazing! The drinks were incredibly flavorful, truly living up to the "omg! so delicious" feeling. My husband loved his mango sago, and my daughter absolutely loved the strawberry overload. But my personal favorite was the summer melon green tea with lychee – it was hands-down amazing! The combination of the refreshing melon green tea and the sweet, slightly tart lychee was perfect. The ambiance and decor added to the experience. It's a cute and inviting space, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the drinks. More of their extensive menu is definitely worth exploring!
I’m so happy Hi Tea moved to a bigger and better location—it’s absolutely adorable and even more inviting now! The decor is super cute, with fun little touches everywhere that make it the perfect hangout or study spot. Of course, the drinks are still top-tier. Whether you’re into classic milk teas or looking to try something new, everything is consistently delicious and beautifully made. The staff is always so kind and accommodating, which really adds to the overall experience. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Hi Tea has easily become my go-to boba spot in Syracuse, and I’m so excited to keep coming back to this new location!
