Dream Tea & Poké Ithaca Reviews
The best Chinese food I’ve had in the U.S. so far!! Both the bubble tea and the food are incredibly delicious and professionally made. They have a wide variety of bubble tea options—I’ve been looking everywhere for fermented rice milk tea, and I finally found it here!! The staff are super friendly, and the atmosphere is great too!
My favorite! I love coming here because they have so so many options and they are all freshly made and so yummy! They are also always so kind and friendly. I find myself coming back all the time! I especially love their tofu pudding desserts and the specialty teas. Boba is always the perfect texture :)
Got some bubble tea again! The blood glutinous rice milk tea tastes exactly like the one I used to love! All the milk teas are freshly made with real milk, and the fruits are all fresh too—no pre-made syrups at all. Great quality and taste!
I've been there 4 times this week. The Smoothies are amazing. The Cha Shu Rice Bowl is my jam. Everything is fresh , easy to order, fast and staff is so friendly. Ya the price is a tad high but it is in Ithaca. Totally 100% percent worth it!! My new favorite spot in Ithaca. Two thumbs up 👍🏾 👍🏾
The Yaxi series is amazing. I like the flavor! The classic dream and mojito are also very good! The beef rice bowl is good! Hope could get more hot entrees or snacks!
The owner is very friendly. I ordered the coconut jelly with mixed fruit; I enjoyed the variety of fruit (Asian fruit as well!). The next time, I ordered a hot milk tea. It's on the sweet side, but flavorful. I'll be trying out the food items next.
Great, friendly place with excellent drinks; poké is great too, with a wide range of options. Really nice place to get some work done too, which there are not too many of in downtown Ithaca.
Big, filling and delicious bowls at affordable prices! Great boba too!

Chill vibe, large portion size
Amazing boba! I always get the panda crumble or the sunrise sago. My boyfriend orders so much that the lady has recognized him. Very nice and friendly people.
I saw a girl arguing with one of the staff. She said they made her the wrong drink and asked for another drink. When the staff refused she angrily stormed out. As I wrote this review I saw a one-star review, complaining about the same event. In my opinion, the customer service is average but certainly not bad. Food: Unique drinks that I'd never seen before at other boba spots in Ithaca. (Phoenix Legend, Peach Blossom, etc.) Service: The drinks are made very quickly even though there were 1 or 2 people working. Atmosphere: The window seats are nice, but street view's nothing to take pictures of. The tea jokes are sweet but a bit cringy.
Great food, service and atmosphere. They allowed me to reside in their eating area when I had a flat tire, so I got food from them. Great place for some food and boba!
I got a large honeydew milk tea and it was delicious! I like how the tapioca pearls aren’t too big also. You do need to get something at least $6 to pay with card which is why I upgraded to a large but no regrets. I tried my friends’ drinks too and it was all so good! Menu has a huge variety as well. Nice lady behind the counter too.
Their fresh brewed tea offerings are really good and high quality! The Yaxi Xiang oolong series was my favorite, extremely fragrant and well brewed - especially the kumquat/longan one! I hope they start offering it again :)
What a delicious sushi roll (burrito). Filling! You start with filling out a sheet with all the content and protein you want. When received, it looked and tasted delicious. Was craving a snack before bed. I could only eat half. 😋

Food is great. I like the beef bowl a lot. Just 1 complaint. Please please please check your orders. No idea what happened here. (Ordered on Ubereats)

First order was fine. Beef bowl couldve used more sauce. 2nd order... half of my cup was ice. Looks like I have to relearn the meaning of less ice

Like the place but getting tipped 15% for a drink when there was no other option and it was confusing not cool. If I get my 89 cents refunded, will turn this into a 5.

Watch out for dishonest staff!!! The cashier pressed the $2 tip button FOR ME, then kept trying to pretend she didn't know what I was talking about when I told her I didnt authorize the tip! Holy cow! Worth it to scam your customer who would tip anyway??? Below is a pic of the employee who tried to scam me.

Walking on the Commons today. Stopped to get a drink and a bite to eat. Ordered a taro bubble drink. It had little to no taste and the bobas were chewy and somewhat hard. Got a poke bowl with 3 different types of protein, and ended up with only 1 and did not discover until I got home. Partner did get a peach bubble drink that was good. But was charged $30 and 2 out of 3 things were either bad or screwed up. Not recommending you visit here.
The drinks were good, but the service was terrible. The woman was extremely rude for no reason. We asked for the wifi to translate some drinks that weee written un Chinese because the 5g wasn’t working inside. She LITERALLY SAID NO, its only for customers who order something. Like we are literally sitting to look at the menu and decide what we are going to order. My friend was embarrassed and had to explain why we needed it for and she gave us the wrong password and didn’t tell us which dream tea one shpuld we select. I tried both and they didn’t work.
