Molly Tea Flushing: Store Status, Menu & Prices

This was the first Molly Tea in the United States, opening on Prince Street in April 2024. It is no longer a Molly Tea store. On 8 June 2026 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary injunction barring the local operator from using Molly Tea trademarks, and the New York stores began trading under a question-mark sign instead. The Yelp listing for this address now carries a closed marker, which we have not been able to confirm independently. Call (917) 702-3085 before you travel.

What follows records what this store offered while it operated as Molly Tea, and flags what changed after the court order. The background to the dispute is set out in full in our report on why the New York stores became “? Tea”.

The queue is real, and timing it matters

Yelp shows 349 reviews and 670 photos for this address as of August 2026, with long waits a recurring theme, and the listing now carries a closed marker. The Uber Eats page, which previously held over 1,000 delivery ratings at a 4.8-star average, came down when the June 2026 injunction required delivery listings to be stripped of the brand name. Walk-ins on Friday and Saturday evenings, when the store stays open until midnight, can run twenty to thirty minutes from front-of-line to receiving your drink. The kiosk-only ordering speeds the front of the queue but the bottleneck is at the pickup counter, where multiple delivery orders compete with walk-in tickets.

While the store traded as Molly Tea, three windows reliably avoided the worst of the queue. They are recorded here because the site, staff and trading hours carried over after the name change:

• Weekday mornings before 12:30 PM are the quietest hours of the week. The store opens at 11 AM Monday through Thursday and the first ninety minutes usually move fast.
• Mid-afternoon weekday slots between 2:30 and 4:30 PM are the next-cleanest window. Lunch is over, the school-out rush hasn’t started.
• Late-night Friday and Saturday after 10:30 PM thin out as the dinner crowd clears. The store closes at midnight on those nights, so the last ninety minutes are often more relaxed than the dinner peak.

The hardest hours are Saturday and Sunday afternoons between 1 PM and 7 PM, and weekday evenings from 6 PM to 9 PM. If you are coming from outside Queens, plan around those windows or order pickup through Chowbus on your phone before you arrive.

Address, hours, and how to get there

Molly Tea Flushing 37-11 Prince Street, Flushing, NY 11354 (917) 702-3085

The store sits on Prince Street between 37th Avenue and 38th Avenue, a short walk from the 7 train terminus at Main Street–Flushing. From the subway exit at Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue, walk north on Main Street and turn west on 37th Avenue. Prince Street is the next corner. The whole walk runs about five minutes. Q44, Q20, and Q34 buses stop within a block. Street parking in Flushing fills fast on weekends and the surrounding lots run $3 to $7 per hour depending on the structure.

Hours per Yelp and Chowbus:

• Monday through Thursday — 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Friday and Saturday — 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM Sunday — 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM
• These were the hours on file when this store traded as Molly Tea, last confirmed in May 2026. They have not been re-verified since the June 2026 court order and should not be relied on for a trip.

What people actually order at this store

Before it came down, the Flushing Uber Eats listing published its own popularity ranking — a cleaner read on real demand than social posts. The top three when we last recorded it in May 2026:

Premium Jasmine Milk Tea (茉莉奶白) — $7.99. The signature build. Sits at #1 most-liked on the Uber Eats page with a 100% positive rating. If you want to taste what Molly Tea is supposed to taste like, this is the cup that decides whether you come back.

Snowy Jasmine (一朵茉莉花) — $8.99. Same jasmine milk tea base with the brand’s whipped cream layer and crushed pecans on top. Holds the #2 most-liked slot. The dollar upcharge is fair if you are ordering once and want the photo; if you are coming back regularly, the plain version is the better value.

Premium Jasmine Apple Milk Tea (针王苹果) — $7.99. Cold-press apple juice carried through the jasmine green tea base. Sat at #3 on that ranking. Its 100% positive score came from only eight ratings, so read it as a hint rather than proof. Lighter than the milk-only drinks. Drink it soon after pickup — apple juice and milk separate if it sits.

Prices recorded from the Flushing Uber Eats listing in May 2026, before it was taken down. Kept here as a reference point, not as current pricing:

• Dancong Oolong Milk Tea (单丛) — $7.99
• Gardenia Milk Tea (栀子奶白) — $7.59
• Gardenia Oolong Milk Tea (栀子金萱) — $7.79
• Snowy Gardenia (一朵栀子花) — $8.79
• Snowy Dancong (一口单丛) — $8.99
• Premium Jasmine Matcha (抹茶针王) — $7.99
• Matcha Jasmine Salted Cheese (抹茶茉莉咸酪乳) — $8.49
• Pistachio Jasmine Coconut (开心果茉莉椰) — $8.99
• Pistachio White Champaca Coconut (开心果小兰花) — $8.99
• Premium Jasmine Tea (茉莉针王, no milk) — $5.59
• Gardenia Tea (栀香绿茶, no milk) — $5.59

Toppings — pecans, white boba pearls and sago — each added $1.49. Source: Uber Eats Molly Tea Flushing listing, recorded May 2026.

The Flushing-specific take on what to order

The store sits in the densest Asian-American shopping corridor on the East Coast — Flushing holds one of the largest Chinese communities in the United States, and the customer base here knows its tea. That changes what works at this location compared to the suburban US stores. Sweetness defaults skew lower because walk-ins routinely ask for 30% or 0%, and the staff handle those orders without needing it spelled out. If you are used to American boba-shop sweetness, ask for 30% on a first visit rather than the 70% house recommendation. The jasmine actually comes through at 30% in a way it does not at 70%.

The Premium Jasmine Apple Milk Tea is more popular here than at the brand’s newer US locations, partly because the demographic skews toward customers familiar with fresh-fruit-and-tea pairings from the Chinese mainland. It was consistently more popular here than at the brand’s newer suburban US stores. Order it cold, less ice, with 30% sweetness, and drink it within twenty minutes.

The store carries the brand’s full Snowy Whipped Cream and Matcha lines, including the Snowy Gardenia and Snowy Dancong builds that are absent or rotational at some smaller US locations. Pistachio drinks rotate on availability — both pistachio builds were listed and active when we checked in May 2026, but they sell out faster than the milk teas on busy days.

Ordering, pickup, and what to know about delivery

While the store operated as Molly Tea, it ran three ordering routes at once: Chowbus for brand-run pickup, Uber Eats and DoorDash for third-party delivery, and walk-in kiosks. That structure no longer applies. Headquarters cut off supply chain, logistics, delivery platform and POS support to this operator on 2 April 2026, and the June injunction removed the branded delivery listings entirely. Any ordering app you find for this address now runs independently of Molly Tea. The in-store kiosks were card-only; cash was handled at the staff register on request.

Delivery from this address is no longer listed under the Molly Tea name on any platform. If you find the site on a delivery app, check the trading name and the operator before ordering — it will not be a Molly Tea listing.

Bubble tea alternatives within walking distance

Flushing is dense with bubble tea, and the wait at Molly Tea is sometimes long enough that the right move is walking three blocks for an alternative. Within five minutes of Prince Street:

• Mr. Wish, Coco Fresh Tea, Kung Fu Tea, Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, and Tiger Sugar all sit on Main Street between 37th and Roosevelt. Mr. Wish leans fruit-tea-forward; Tiger Sugar covers the brown sugar boba category Molly Tea does not really compete in.
• HEYTEA Flushing at 135-29 40th Road is a five-minute walk and the closest comparable Chinese mainland tea chain. HEYTEA leans cold-and-fruit-led where Molly Tea leans hot-and-floral-led.
• Chagee competes most directly on tea quality and floral aromatics. Check its current Flushing listings before making the trip — its store map changes often. Worth comparing on a different day, not the same visit.
