    The cafe latte was made perfectly. Strong and deep espresso flavors with the perfect sweetness at 50% sugar level. The dalgona cafe latte is good, but I would omit the blocks of sugars on top next time, it got too sweet the longer it soaked. The croffle was delicious! Warm croissant waffle with a little bit of syrup.

    Cafe Zio has always been a long time favorite of mine, even if there is no seating inside. This place has plenty of parking in their lot, and they even deliver your drink or food to your car (implemented during COVID and it stuck). I first came here when you had to order at the cashier, and there were stamp cards. Now, it is all done at a kiosk with rewards done on the Toast app. I don't like how ordering on the kiosk doesn't allow you to adjust for the ice or sweet level (at least on our drinks). At the end of the kiosk menu, it'll ask you for your make, model, and color of your car- along with relatively where you parked. If you sign up with your number, you get $5 for your birthday. They will bring you the drink with your straw. I like that they have a vast menu, from smoothies, specialty drinks, milk or fruits boba to croffles and ice cream. I got an iced dalgona latte with honeycomb on the top. The drink was delicious, but you can really taste and feel the espresso.

    I got the Dalgona Cafe Latte, and it was so cute looking to me! What a cute little store! I love that they offer to bring the drinks to your car once it's ready. I have never been to a coffee/tea shop that provide that kind of service. I decided to wait inside for my drink though. The drink was good, and it has good flavored. The pricing was pretty decent too compared to places like Starbucks. I would come back.

    Croffles are crisp in all the right parts, the drinks are well mixed, selection is vast and service is great. Bubbles and other toppings are not included in the fruit and milk teas so you will have to order it for your drink. Despite that, prices are reasonable. We spent slightly less than $30 for 4 large drinks and a croffle. Food and drinks are on the sweeter side, so it's great if you have a sweet tooth. Shop is a bit small so it's more of an order to go kind of place.

    Taro Coconut Slush

    Amazing price, drink not so much...I got taro coconut, I knew it was already going to be powder judging by the place and the price, but it was still disappointing. There was a very slight hint of coconut flavor to it. The taro was like all powder taro. The boba wasn't bad. The drink was too water tasting for me.

    Breaking News in the Bubble Tea World!!! As of 3/6/23, NJ.com published "New Jersey's 15 best Bubble Tea Shops". Guess who's #1? Yes! You're right! Cafe Zio has been ranked #1 as the Best Bubble Tea shop in New Jersey!!! Cafe Zio is definitely the magical Bubble Tea shop of the Garden State! They special in Coffee - Smoothies - Ice Cream - and of course the best Bubble Tea!!! I honestly I don't know what me wait so long to try Cafe Zio, but I loved it from the first time I visited them. It's a small shop but they serve the best drinks! You usually place your order in store and then you wait in your car for them to deliver your delicious drink to you! They upgraded from stamp card to toasttab.com and you can enroll to earn 1 point for every $1 spent and receive a $3.50 discount for every 50 points you redeem. Cafe Zio drinks are freshly made when ordered and the bubbles are amazing after all they are #1!!! You can customize your drinks from brewed or creamy bubble tea and up to two flavors per drink which is really cool. They are very affordable, staff are friendly and service is quick! So if you are ever in the Edison area and you want to get the best Bubble Tea then Cafe Zio is the place to be!

    Creamy Bubble Tea (Mocha & Coconut with Tapioca Pearls & Coconut Flakes)
    Abigail C.

    This is easily my favorite bubble tea shop. When you walk in, you can order on the digital screen or speak to the employee at the register. All of the employees have been really nice and helpful every time I have come in. After you order, you wait in your car and they bring it out to you. I love the large list of flavors and the fact that I can combine two flavors in my drink. I always get a mocha & coconut creamy bubble tea with tapioca pearls, coconut flakes, & 75% sugar. I also tried the dalgona latte and really enjoyed it. Cafe Zio also has an online rewards program that's really easy to use & rewards you for loyalty. I love this place and 100% recommend it.

    Rose Tea and Mango coconut milk drink

    Always a delight to go get boba here. The drinks are ALWAYS tasty and refreshing. My favorite thing on their menu is actually their croffles, it's so good! They're always friendly and helpful. A big perk is they deliver the drinks to your car after you order! I LOVE it here

    Nutella croffle
    Jason N.

    Having been to tastee subs and mr wish across the street several times I'm surprised it took me this long to stop by. I saw this place was rocking serious reviews and had no idea what it was and had to see what the hype was about. You go in, place your order and they bring it out to your car. There is no seating here just a counter for ice cream and ordering. It's a very tiny spot. I got the Thai iced tea and Nutella croffle both definitely exceeded my expectations. I recommend both! The croffle had a warm Nutella spread and the middle was flaky soft in each bite. I'll be back because I noticed they had dalgona coffee and I have yet to try that anywhere.

    Great selection of drinks ranging from bubble tea, smoothies, coffee, and teas. The customer service was good, staff was super friendly, establishment was clean, and there was even an option for them to bring your drinks to your car! It was recommended to place your order via the kiosk located by the counter. The staff was more than happy to answer any additional questions but the item descriptions and pictures on the kiosk was sufficient enough. There was so many options to choose from but I ultimately decided to try their Dalgona cafe Latte with an extra shot added in and it was delicious! Can't wait to come back and try some other items!

    Their specials.

    Small but mighty cafe shop that specializes in coffee and bubble teas and also has delicious snacks to enjoy. Can someone say, filled waffles? Yum! It truly has a bit of everything. So much so, their menu is changing, yet again to accommodate the increasing things they are offering. Look up at the board to see their regular menu and then look to the sides, to find their latest specials. Hopefully, during the summer, they will offer their Snowflake desserts (Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings) back. Upon arriving and perusing their menu, I saw two of my favorite words, double espresso! I was so ordering it. The cashier recommended the Dalgato Cafe Latte. Their Dalgona Coffee is very different from the regular Dalgona coffee's I've had prior. Theirs is actually the Korean Dalgona Candy which features the Honeycomb Toffee on top. This drink as it is on par with the Brown Sugar drinks, I've tasted. It is sweet and you can have two (2) shots of espresso, poured on top. It sounded so appealing, Hubby decided to request one of his own. Neither of us requested any bobas but you can add some if you so desire. They do offer a choice of milk for your drinks. In addition to their regular milk, as well as skim, they also offer alternative milk such as soy, almond, and Lactaid milk. This small cafe is tight and due to the pandemic, about 3 people are allowed inside while maintaining a 6 ft distance. After you place your order, you can either wait outside, where they provided some chairs for you or you can be seated inside your car. The cashier will ask you what is the make and color of your car and they will bring the purchased items to you. The wonderful employees are all very efficient and service is quick.

    Passion fruit Green tea with lychee jelly & purple potion smoothie
    Sophie G.

    Even though I've been frequenting Cafe Zio for the past 3 years, I'm surprised I haven't reviewed it yet. The service and food are both great and you can't beat the price. My friends and I will always come here after exams to drink our depression away :D I recommend ordering on the kiosk inside and the workers will bring your order to your car. You can also order pickup through the Toast app. The owners and workers are super nice! My boyfriend orders the same thing every time we visit so the owners remember us and will have his drink ready when I finish ordering. A lot of their menu items are also homemade (for example, they make their strawberry puree for the strawberry milk). Sundays are one of their busiest days so I recommend going on a weekday. For drinks, my go-to is passionfruit and orange green tea with 50% sugar, less ice, and tapioca pearls. Other great options are the pong shake, cream matcha latte, and purple potion smoothie. For food, I recommend the cream cheese croffle and jam waffle.

    Mangolada and boba hot tea.
    Yann P.

    I came here wanting to try a new different place. The place is small ans nezr to a barber place we almost missed it. Its a local shop pretty small inside but there is a way to order via a kiosk or at the counter. There seems to be three people in the back making teas. The menu is not your traditional menu more like a contemporary coffee shop like. There is no seating on the inside a few chairs on the outside and Its You choose the type of tea 3 to choose from. Your own combo of flavors to add and the topping. There is a creamy base which is the milk base vs the non creamy which has no milk just tea and flavoring. We got the mangolada. The initial taste is pina colada but then the mango taste hits. Also gotten the oolong with honeydew and boba and pudding, at first i was worried that i made the wrong choice in not choosing the creamy but as the guy being out the teas to us and i had my first sip in anticipation that i needed a cream base. I was really surprised i really love it. The flavor of the tea and the honeydew needed no milk. I would definitely order a non milk base. The only thing is its a little sweet personally for me, but its also hard to find a place that brews good tea that you don't need milk. This is definitely a great tea shop, I have a few other drinks that i will be looking forward to try next time.

    Dalgona Cafe Latte. Made with 2 shots of espresso, Dalgona Nougat and dairy. Bold dark chocolate and caramel flavors.
