    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Timothy C.

    I stopped by for a quick drink after dinner. It looked like a nice place to relax or hang out for a while. They have an electronic screen that provides estimated wait times for each person's order. The strawberry matcha latte I ordered was pretty good and what I expected.

    Was passing by metuchen and wanted to have a quick Boba tea and tried this joint . First time and I was impressed with their interiors and lots of space to sit/ drink the tea. There are also a couple of tables outside .. I loved their concept of Photo Booth . Nice and innovative . Parking is the only issue because it is tough to get parking on the streets. Ordering was easy and almost alll teas are customizable.. you can adjust the sugar qty, select different bobs styles etc. boba costed 75 cents more which could have been included in the tea price . Restrooms available . Peach Bobba tea was really good . Hibiscus with no sugar and no ice was ok. Overall liked the experience

    Strawberry Smoothie
    Ingrid C.

    Very happy to find a spot that's open this late on a weekday evening. My friends and I didn't want our hangout to end, and Boba Tea Time definitely offers an environment suitable for relaxing and catching up. They have board games, art supplies and even a digital photo booth. Stayed pretty much close to closing time, and the staff were friendly not to rush us out. I got the strawberry smoothie with oat milk- it was on the pricier side, around $8, but the smoothie itself was thick and not watered down at all. Not sure what their boba is like but my friend said it was good. Would recommend a visit here. that's all, ty for reading :)

    Atmosphere: 5 Love the fun, laid back vibe of this tea shop. Ordering is easy at the kiosk though since there is only 1, it may have a line. I love the greenery wall and everything is tastefully designed. In the back, there is a game room and two claw games. There is an order screen there too. Seems like customers can book the room for a fee of $20. I feel like this is such a great idea, but wish there are a few more things to do in there. Portion: 5 The tea portion is one size if I remember correctly. There's definitely enough to enjoy for a while. Pretty standard large size. Flavors: 5 I love the jasmine mojito. It has a nice jasmine fragrance. If you don't like your drinks too sweet, make sure you choose 0% ADDITIONAL sweetness. The menu is a bit misleading there because usually tea places ask what sugar level you prefer, but here, it's how much more percentage ADDITIONAL sweetness you want. Cute place. I've already gone back there again. Would recommend!

    The aesthetics of this boba shop resembles the ones in SoCal. With a selfie wall, photo booth (no print outs), and a game room in the back, this is a fun place to hang out with your friends. You order on the kiosk. I was super excited for the many different drink options and flavors. I settled on their Fresh Banana Brown Sugar Milk Tea at $7.19. I was shocked that toppings were .75 cents extra. I wanted mine to be made with coconut milk and that was $1.50. I forgo any toppings given how pricey it was. My drink alone was $8.69. Upon first sip, the taste wasn't to my liking. It is also not supposed to be a slushy drink. My son had chosen another drink but I convinced him to order the Fresh Brazilian Limeade. The limes made it sour and the sweetened condensed milk did not counterbalance the zesty taste. We also tried their Cold Brew Brown Sugar Coffee. It was watered down and weak. THUS THE 3-STAR RATING. My son and I wanted to play some ping pong in the back room. Not sure how much they charge but I thought I overheard the cashier telling a customer that it was $8 for half an hour. No thank you. A sign outside on the street says...BEST BOBA MILK TEAS IN NEW JERSEY. Ms. Bobalicious will have to disagree. I never really give a shop another chance if they can't wow me on my first boba visit.

    This place was perfect for my friends and I to catch up! They have so many game options, parking is available in the back and the tea was good! They charge $3 to play ping pong tho. I wasn't feeling that.

    Interior

    A good boba spot but there are a lot more boba spots in central jersey that are worth the drive within a 5 mile radius. I was excited to try this new spot on Main St Metuchen, it's a block away from Akihi (which is our go-to in the area). We tried their Strawberry Matcha milk tea, with boba and lactose-free milk. We've had his drink at other establishments and we left a bit disappointed. There was strawberry puree in the drink but the all that disappeared when the drink was mixed. There was none of the strawberry flavor at all. It was all matcha. Hopefully I'd chalk it up to kinks during opening month and hopefully they adjust their strawberry-matcha ratio. Also, one drink was more than $9 that's one whole meal that someone can get, and this is for one drink. This price point is too high for me, even if only $2-3 more than other boba places. Not worth it with central jersey being saturated with boba spots. Photo of the order and price is shared for clarity. Interior is clean, they have a game room and some photo corners. Parking is metered. Service was friendly. I'd maybe come back here if there was no choice because the drink was decent and not bad, it's just not something that I would pay $9.20 for one drink .

    nice addition to the downtown metuchen area for a hangout spot! when I went, I had gone to Akihi first and it was packed in there and seating was scarce. Boba tea time in contrast was a breath of fresh air because it wasn't as busy and there was plenty of seating at the time (it later got busier but still some seats were open). I started ordering on one of their kiosks and an employee was nice enough to ask if I needed any help. They have a reward program through Snackpass, so you can track your order and get notifications when it's done. I got the strawberry jasmine milk tea with herbal jelly. Even though I got it with 0% addl sugar, it was still pretty sweet, so this place would be good if you like things on the sweeter side. I liked that the jasmine tea flavor was strong. I would've liked if the herbal jelly was cut into bigger pieces, as the texture felt a bit minced. The milk tea did start like, separating, since the fruit reacted with the milk, but it didn't affect the taste at all. I think the big draw of this place is the variety of activities available. They had a selection of board games, a photobooth (not print outs), claw machines, ping pong, shuffleboard, and darts.

    I went here on a Saturday night with a group of friends. I was excited to try this place because of their vegan options for boba tea and their oil free fries! When we walked in, it was fairly busy. A few tables had customers enjoying their tea and playing some table games that was provided by the restaurant. We walked in back to find a room which you can rent. It had a full ping pong table and people were enjoying a game. This place was truly a place to come get some tea and relax for a while with friends. Since we had a big group, the owner kindly asked some people to move over so he could put tables together for us. Some ordered and others did not since we had just come from dinner. A bunch of us women saw a Photo Booth and we had to try it! They had signs provided and different backdrops to choose from so we chose one and took two pictures! The Photo Booth was completely free which was surprising because usually things like that are a charge. I then ordered my tea a the fries. The tea was so tasty! My friend had recommended this Taiwanese jelly to add to it and I did! It made it taste so good so thankful for that! After those who ordered tea received theirs, we decided to play a game. We chose Jenga! We played about four rounds of Jenga and then we decided to go to the next adventure of the night. Raymond, the owner, was so accommodating and kind. We truly loved this tea place and will definitely come back soon!

    Is the gravy on the fries gluten free?

    The gravy may contain gluten, as the label does not say gluten free.

The rooms are spacious, but the A/C can get really uncomfortabley cold. They use individual A/C units per room, but they don't leave the controllers for the customer to use. You'll have to ask the staff to come in and adjust it for you. It shouldn't be a big deal, but they don't get it to what you want. They'll either adjust it to be too cold or they shut it off, altogether. Could be a language barrier. It's BYOB and Food. We came prepared. The song selection is decent. They have a good mix of modern and old songs. Not enough Filipino music, though. The sound system is still good, but the controller to input the songs can be tricky. Also, some song listed in their booklets may no longer exist in the system. We've experienced it quite a number of times. We still enjoyed our time there. And we are most likely to return, especially since we don't know any other karaoke joints in my area.

    I'd say pretty average experience with some advantages and disadvantages…read more Perks: - BYOB and BYOF: I came with a group of 5 and we brought whatever we wanted, no issue - No wait: granted this may be because we came close to opening, but there wasn't any issues with having to wait Let downs: - the song selection wasn't great and the remote needs to be pointed at the karaoke box to work, it takes a minute to figure out - obviously, the price increase that seems to be new compared to past reviews - the lyrics will play on the screen, but there is Korean music videos/dramas playing in the background If you aren't picky about what songs you want to sing and want to bring your own food and drinks, I would recommend this place, but don't expect anything special.

    What a fun concept to have a place for singing, dancing, while painting! Canvas & Grapes got it…read moreright and our group had a wonderful time. We booked the Paint & Sing on a Saturday 1:30-5 pm slot for $55/prn. It included music entertainment, painting experience, and karaoke. It's BYOB and you are welcome to bring snacks as well. Door opens at exactly 1:30 pm (it's locked prior to that) and upon entering, there's a check-in counter where you get your apron for painting and coat rack to hang your coats. Then you are directed to your table which it's already set up with paint supplies and a blank canvas. Very lively and hip vibe. Our painting instructor was wonderful and we were entertained the entire time. There's no bad seat in the room as they had a stage with camera where the instructor showed step by step on painting. There were TVs all around the room for each table to follow without issues. We take breaks throughout the session to allow paint to dry and time for dancing and singing. The time flew and we were promptly done by 4:30. Extra time remained for pictures and clean up. I highly recommended it for a girls gathering, birthday celebration, or just a fun thing to do. Everyone walked away happy and with a beautiful painting to show for.
