Boba Quest: Möge Tea

As part of Boba Quest 2025 🧋, I'm trying and reviewing a new boba shop each week.

I know that last time I promised I'd review something not in Queens on the 7, but the place I had planned to review was out of the specific tea I like, so I'll review it another time.

This week we visited Möge Tee (with the umlaut) in Long Island City (42-32 Crescent St); right next to the 7, N, W at the Queensboro Plaza station and E, M, R at the too similarly named Queens Plaza station just a few more blocks away.

I say we because this is a double review; my girlfriend and I both ordered a brown sugar milk tea with light ice and 100% sugar. Despite ordering the exact same drink, we got different lids:

Two cups of boba; the one on the left has a clear lid with cat ears and on the right has a small heart in the lid

My review:

  • Boba: 3/4 boba was well flavored and chewy; but it became...less chewy faster than I expected that by the time I was finishing it up, it was probably a 2/4.
  • Tea: 3/4 pretty decent, I just felt the tea was a bit too strong.
  • Bonus: 0/1 nothing special to report, there's a small bar/counter for people to stand and drink.

Total: 6/10: Decent but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

And now, the first guest review of Boba Quest 2025 🧋, from my girlfriend:

  • Boba: 4/4 the boba tasted good and had a great QQ (chewiness) quality
  • Tea: 2/4 the actual drink was decent. The tea flavor was very strong, so they definitely delivered on that front. And, if that's what you like, you'd probably really like this tea. However, I didn't.
  • Bonus: 1/1 I thought this place deserved the bonus point because it has very nice decor/lighting up on the walls and is an overall aesthetic place to go to. I also like that they have both the counter with an actual person and self-checkout kiosks to order from, so you can choose your level of interaction based on your mood. I also like the cute elements they add to the drink cups, such as the heart and cat caps.

Total: 7/10: I think you would really enjoy their drinks if you like a strong tea flavor. I have also tried their brown sugar boba milk without the tea/caffeine and enjoyed that, so that could be an option. And the boba is good. So, I would come back and think it would be good to try if you pass by but don't go out of your way for it.

I hadn't heard of "QQ" before my girlfriend mentioned it, making me one of today's ten thousand. My review definitely looks a little too succinct next to hers :-)

Next week I truly promise to review a boba place outside of Queens and not on the 7.
