I love how they let you control the sweetness and the fresh (real!!) strawberry puree in the drink is fantastic. I also tried an almond macaron that was absolutely delicious. Every time I visit, I always try and grab some loose tea. They have an incredible selection of everything from green to black, white, oolong and so much more. I tend to gravitate towards fruity teas and they always have lots of options. They also have tea accessories too. There are ample seats inside and they also have an outside patio. They even have their own app so you can pre-order food and drink items if you're short on time. If you haven't been, get there ASAP!

Wow! I waited over a week to visit this place because they were sold out of most of the desserts…read more They're so popular, and the owners take their time making new desserts. They have tea, but I wanted cheesecake. The cheesecake was excellent! You order online or at their kiosk inside. It's best to keep checking online to see if the desserts you want are in stock yet, if they aren't, they're listed as sold out. The ube cheesecake was creamy, sweet, with cream. The triple matcha cheesecake was very good, tasted like matcha, and best if you don't like dessert too sweet. Each piece of cake was around $10-11 would be nice if it was bigger, but it's great as it is because it's dense. It's so cute inside! Service is fast! Highly recommend!

First up, I ordered the Jasmine Tea with Matcha foam and coconut water. This was a super refreshing drink and I am already wanting to have it again. Second we grabbed the Ube Milk Tea float which was a super pleasant taste, ordered with 0 percent sugar which kept it at a perfect level of sweetness. The ube milk tea float comes with a scoop of delicious ube ice cream on top. The service was super friendly and inviting, and the inside was really cutely designed.

I'm still a supporter of what I assume to be a family business, but my initial enthusiasm has certainly waned over time. On a subconscious level, their smaller boba perhaps is not as appealing as full size boba? Still, there are a few things that tick the right boxes for us, including their dessert options. I hope they keep improving and stay open for a long time.

We ordered our dishes with two proteins- there was more cucumber than fish! I bring it up because I could actually count the 3 pieces of tuna and salmon in my bowl. The "wasabi" sauce is not only radioactive green but is 100% mayo- no wasabi flavor at all and SLATHERED all over the bowl. Service was great, but the presentation and the quality of food (especially for the money) is not worth it. Very disappointed.

The new owners have kept most of the original menu and decor, with the nice addition of some European desserts.

Looking forward to coming back to try more desserts.

One afternoon, I decided to run into sweet and bubble. I went in right as they opened and I was…read moreable to take a casual look at their menu. The person serving me, Ibrahim, was very nice and helpful. He let me try some of the Jersey ice cream, the banana and crushed Oreo flavor. Sounds like a strange combination, but it was actually very good. They have smoothies, milk shakes, lemonades, fruit teas, milk teas, and different desserts. I decided to get the Taro milk tea with bubbles and I added just a little bit of sugar to it. It was very good, not too sweet. I've never had Taro before so before making the tea, Ibrahim let me smell the powder that is used to make it and he explained a how the milk tea was made. Very nice shop. It's was quiet and clean. Could be a great place to go and relax with friends, or even sit with your laptop and get a little bit of work done. I'll be back!

The ramen is OK but I think they could add more flavor. The milk tea needs more flavor too. It is so light that I am not really enjoying what Im drinking. The service is great.

Weird because how can something be flavorless but have a taste. That's just me. From now on I'll stick with the mango or strawberry bobas. I can't knock this place one bit for that. Service is still outstanding and super friendly. Even when this place gets packed to the door service is great. They have so many drink options but I'm still on team smoothie. I've tried most of the combinations and never had a bad experience except with the plain bobas. The restaurant is always super clean, fresh filtered water is always available for free. I really need to expand my drinking game and try other options.
