Mixue NYC Menu: Prices, Locations, and What Locals Actually Order (2026)
The Mixue NYC menu is short, simple, and very cheap. It mainly has soft-serve ice cream, sundaes, milk tea, fruit tea, and bubble tea. The star item is the soft-serve cone, which costs just $1.19. Most drinks are priced low too, so it’s easy to try a few things without spending much.
Mixue opened its first Manhattan stores in December 2025, and you can find them near Herald Square, Times Square, and Canal Street. In this guide, we cover what’s on the menu, how much it costs, where to find it, and what is actually worth ordering.
Where Mixue NYC Fits Into the Story
Mixue started in Zhengzhou, China, back in 1997, founded by Zhang Hongchao, and grew by doing something almost nobody else in the beverage world does: it makes its own dairy, fruit syrups, and packaging in-house, which is how it keeps prices absurdly low even as it scaled to more than 45,000 stores globally. The brand’s mascot, a crowned snowman called Snow King, is on basically every cup and window decal you’ll see.
The first U.S. store opened in Los Angeles in December 2025, and New York followed almost immediately. The Canal Street location right in the middle of Chinatown reportedly signed a 10-year lease before the doors even opened, which tells you the company isn’t treating this as a short-term experiment. By early 2026, Mixue had three open NYC stores, with word of a fourth Midtown location still under construction.
The Full Mixue NYC Menu
The menu breaks into five main categories, and almost everything on it is designed to be ordered fast from a self-serve kiosk rather than explained by a barista.
Soft-Serve Ice Cream & Sundaes
This is the item that made Mixue famous in New York, and for good reason — it’s the cheapest thing on the menu and the easiest first order.
| Item | Reported Price |
|---|---|
| Classic Soft-Serve Cone (vanilla or matcha) | ~$1.19 |
| Chocolate-Dipped Cone | ~$1.99 |
| Oreo Sundae | ~$2.99–$3.99 |
| Mango or Strawberry Sundae | ~$2.99–$3.99 |
| Boba-Topped Sundae | ~$3.99 |
Classic Soft-Serve Cone
Chocolate-Dipped Cone
Oreo Sundae
Mango or Strawberry Sundae
Boba-Topped Sundae
The soft serve itself is nothing revolutionary it’s a solid, slightly dense vanilla or a genuinely good matcha but at a dollar and change, it doesn’t need to be revolutionary. Just eat it fast, especially in summer; it melts quickly once you’re back out on the sidewalk.
Milk Tea & Boba
If you already like bubble tea, this is the section to start with.
| Item | Reported Price |
|---|---|
| Classic Pearl Milk Tea | ~$3.99–$4.99 |
| Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea | ~$4.49–$4.99 |
| Jasmine Milk Tea | ~$3.99–$4.49 |
| Taro Milk Tea | ~$4.49 |
| Coconut Jelly Milk Tea | ~$4.49–$4.99 |
Classic Pearl Milk Tea
Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea
Jasmine Milk Tea
Taro Milk Tea
Coconut Jelly Milk Tea
The Canal Street location’s online ordering listing specifically calls out Pearl Milk Tea and Jasmine Milk Tea as regular menu items, and both are safe, familiar starting points if you’ve never had Mixue’s specific style of boba before.
Fresh Fruit Tea & Lemonade
This category leans lighter and less sweet, and it’s the one most likely to have non-dairy options.
| Item | Reported Price |
|---|---|
| Fresh Lemonade | ~$1.99 |
| Lemon Iced Tea | ~$1.99–$2.49 |
| Passion Fruit Tea | ~$2.99 |
| Peach Tea | ~$2.99 |
| Mixed Fruit Tea | ~$3.49–$3.99 |
Fresh Lemonade
Lemon Iced Tea
Passion Fruit Tea
Peach Tea
Mixed Fruit Tea
Mixue’s lemonade is genuinely the brand’s global signature drink — the company reportedly sells over a billion cups of it a year system-wide — so it’s worth trying even if fruit tea isn’t usually your thing.
Smoothies & Specialty Drinks
| Item | Reported Price |
|---|---|
| Mango Smoothie | ~$3.99–$4.49 |
| Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie | ~$4.49–$4.99 |
| Ice Cream-Topped Latte | ~$4.99–$5.69 |
Mango Smoothie
Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie
Ice Cream-Topped Latte
Coffee
Coffee is the smallest part of the menu and shouldn’t be the reason you go. Lattes were part of the original U.S. launch menu, priced around $2.99, but if espresso is your main priority, a Mixue kiosk isn’t going to outperform a dedicated coffee shop.
A note on prices: Mixue doesn’t publish one fixed nationwide menu, and NYC pricing can shift by location, promotion, and delivery platform. Specialty drinks ordered through delivery apps at the Canal Street store have been listed in the $5–$7 range. Treat everything above as a solid reference point, not a guarantee check the kiosk or app before you order if the exact price matters to you.
Mixue NYC Locations
All three current stores are in Manhattan.
| Location | Address | Neighborhood |
|---|---|---|
| Chinatown | 266 Canal St, New York, NY 10013 | Chinatown / Lower Manhattan |
| Herald Square | 8th Avenue side of Herald Square | Koreatown / Midtown |
| Times Square West | 805 8th Ave, New York, NY 10019 | Midtown West |
The Canal Street store was the first to sign a lease and sits in a 2,100-square-foot street-level space in the heart of Chinatown, close to plenty of other food stops if you’re making a day of it. The Herald Square and 8th Avenue locations opened within days of each other in December, both drawing lines that stretched down the block during their grand openings. A fourth Manhattan location has reportedly been in the works, though Mixue hasn’t confirmed a neighborhood or opening date.
Hours vary slightly by store and season, so if you’re planning a trip specifically for Mixue, it’s worth a quick Google Maps check before you head out rather than assuming every location keeps identical hours.
How Ordering Actually Works
Mixue NYC runs on self-serve kiosks with a human cashier as backup, not a traditional counter-order system. A few details that don’t show up on most menu pages:
- Sugar level is fully adjustable, and not just the usual 0/50/100% — some kiosks let you push it up to 200% sweetness if that’s genuinely what you want.
- Ice level is customizable the same way most bubble tea shops handle it.
- The store is cashless. Card and mobile payment only — don’t show up planning to pay in cash.
- There’s a rewards program. Signing up through the kiosk has been reported to knock off around 15% on a first order, which, on an already-cheap menu, makes the total genuinely tiny — one visitor reported paying $3.63 total for a cone and a tea after the discount.
- Expect sold-out items, especially early on. New locations have had several fruit tea flavors unavailable at once during their first weeks, so don’t build your whole visit around one specific drink.
Is Anything on the Mixue NYC Menu Non-Dairy?
If you’re avoiding dairy, you’re not shut out, but the options are limited to the fruit tea and lemonade side of the menu. Staff at both the NYC and LA locations have confirmed the following as non-dairy:
- Fresh Lemonade
- Lemon Iced Tea
- Fresh Orange Tea
Anything with “milk,” “cheese,” or “sundae” in the name should be assumed to contain dairy, and some fruit teas like taro or milk-based boba drinks aren’t as dairy-free as their fruity names suggest. If it matters for you medically rather than just by preference, ask the kiosk staff directly rather than guessing from the menu photo.
What Should You Actually Order First?
There’s no single “best” item, but if you’re going in cold:
- Want the cheapest possible treat: Classic vanilla soft-serve cone, $1.19.
- Already a boba person: Pearl Milk Tea or Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea.
- Want something refreshing, not creamy: Fresh Lemonade; it’s the brand’s actual signature.
- Avoiding dairy: Lemon Iced Tea or Fresh Orange Tea.
- Bringing kids or a group: Order a mix of a sundae and a milk tea so everyone gets to try something different without spending much.
Mixue vs. Other NYC Bubble Tea Chains
New York already has a crowded bubble tea market. Kung Fu Tea, Gong Cha, and Chatime all have multiple Manhattan locations, so Mixue isn’t competing on being the only option. It’s competing on price and simplicity.
Pick Mixue if you want the cheapest possible cone or milk tea and don’t need deep customization.
Pick Kung Fu Tea, Gong Cha, or Chatime if you want more tea base options, a wider topping bar, or a more established loyalty program with a bigger reward catalog.
It’s also worth knowing Mixue isn’t alone in bringing Chinese value pricing to the U.S. — Luckin Coffee and Chagee have made similar moves recently, all competing for the same price-conscious, largely younger customer base that’s grown up with these brands overseas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Final Thoughts
Mixue’s NYC debut earned its hype fairly, not because the soft-serve reinvents anything, but because a $1.19 cone in Manhattan simply doesn’t happen anywhere else right now. If you’re near Chinatown, Koreatown, or Times Square and want a cheap, fast treat, it’s an easy stop. Just go in expecting a self-serve kiosk, a cashless counter, and the possibility that your first-choice flavor might be sold out, and you’ll have a good time.
