Cuppa Tea

"This small casual corner shop specializes in strong, zippy Hong Kong-style milk tea. At the perennially packed Cuppa Tea inside the Tangram mall, you can catch dramatic pours of steaming hot tea from as high as the brewer’s arm can reach. The signature milk tea is strong: If that tea’s bitterness doesn’t wake you up, the posted warnings of the caffeine level will. The Flushing location is one of two U.S. outposts for the 800-plus store franchise from Hong Kong, and waits can be long not just for the tea, but also the pineapple bun and egg waffle."
