If you love milk mochi, you NEED to try this drinkable version made with glutinous rice!!…read more Monta Tea is best known for their MIBU (米布) drinks. It's like a more liquid-y milk mochi, but with glutinous rice aroma, using a traditional Yunnan dessert recipe. And if you're coming from across the river, their camellia tea (山茶花) ice cream alone justifies the trek because you can't find it anywhere else. Their baked goods, like the croissants and sunflower egg tarts, are also fresh and delicious. Plus, they open at 7:30am, which is perfect for an early morning pastry run. The cafe is spacious, aesthetic, and just a 5-minute walk from Journal Square PATH. ＊Jasmine Green MIBU 手打茉莉米布 $7.5 It's hard to show how good the MIBU was on camera, but trust me on this one! I loved the chewy, mochi-like texture and they were generous with the amount of MIBU. ＊Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie 芒果糯米飯 $8.99 This was literally mango sticky rice in a cup because they use ACTUAL sticky rice! It was super filling but so satisfying. I especially loved the sweet glutinous rice aroma. ＊Matcha Jasmine Latte 抹茶茉綠 $7.5 Matcha and jasmine went so well together. If you like heytea's triple supreme matcha latte, you might like this one too. It's a little lighter on the caffeine, with a jasmine fragrance. ＊Matcha Croissant 抹茶可頌 $7.5 The matcha cream filling was literally overflowing! I loved how earthy the matcha flavor was, and it was the perfect pairing with their matcha drinks. ＊Honey Ham Croissant 蜂蜜火腿可頌 $10.5 This was stacked with layers of ham and topped with freshly shaved parmesan! Sadly, my croissant got blown away by the strong wind before I could try it...

Anyways, there are kiosks to order, but you can order at the counter as well. It was great to learn that they use fresh milk, but it's lactose free milk!! I had the Jasmine Green Tea Latte and my husband had one of their rice drinks. His drink was thicc with two c's. But it was tasty. I think the tea is actually better than Molly Tea (I'm about to get shanked). Tea is picked up at the main counter and the baked goods are picked up at the bakery counter. Egg tarts were good, if a little pricey.

Barista and cashier were incredibly patient and friendly. They helped create a nice atmosphere. So good we were back 4 days in a row. I got black coffee with milk and sugar and my fiance got different versions of their lattes. One was a Peppermint (not sweet at all), I think an Ube, and I think a Chai Tea.

The ube latte is also exceptional: smooth, creamy, not too sweet, and rich with ube flavor. The ube cookie is a must-try. It's packed with a rich ube flavor and has a wonderful chewy texture without being overly sweet. The ube cinnamon roll is the standout item on the menu: soft, moist, and bursting with rich ube and cinnamon flavor. Their cold brew is strong and solid, making it the perfect companion to their delicious sweets.

I love fiddlefaddling around before I made a decision and this let me do it. I had the White Peach Oolong and my husband had their classic milk tea with purple rice and mochi. His milk tea was so good and I'm definitely getting it next time. My peach oolong needed a bit more sugar, but it was light and refreshing. Definitely adding this to our boba rotation!

There was a decent variety on the menu, and sweetness levels made it easy to customize. The place was clean and service moved at a reasonable pace even when there were a few people waiting. I wouldn't say anything was extremely over the top, but everything was solid and I'd come back to try other items. Worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for bubble tea.

Ordered: Honey Lavender Latte (~$6)…read more Aya's take: We were looking for an afternoon pick me up and found ourselves at Bleu Coffee. Please note, the pictures on Yelp are of their 2nd Street location. This one on Beacon Way was particularly difficult to find since Maps didn't navigate us to the front and this is actually in The Beacon apartment complex. We had to ask someone walking by to open the gate door for us, otherwise there's no way to get in. The Beacon Way location is very small; they occupy a small corner of the lobby. The Honey Lavender Latte was decent. There was a lot of lavender flavor which I appreciated, added sweetness from the honey, and boldness from the espresso. Not the best I've had but it did the job. Decent try but I would love to check out their 2nd Street location since it seems more spacious and proper.

A kind stranger opened it for us otherwise we may not have been able to get it. Careful with where Google maps routes you to, it routed us to the read of the building and so we had to drive around. I had an espresso, it was pulled too long and was very over extracted. Way too much volume for a double shot. The server was friendly and warm and the ambience is nice, it felt like a hotel lobby but it's really a residential building.

WOW I need everyone to know about how delicious this corn coconut danish is…read more They always come up with creative Filipino-inspired pastries, with something new to try almost every week. I will never stop raving about the baked goods from this Jersey City gem. ＊Corn Coconut Danish $8 Inspired by maja blanca, a classic Filipino pudding made with coconut cream and sweet corn kernel, this pastry version was lightly sweet with a savory note from the shredded cheddar cheese. The filling was luscious, creamy, and custardy, while the pastry shell stayed crispy and flaky. Imagine coconut corn pudding stuffed into a pastry. ＊Sourdough Milk Bread $15 I also scored their Friday special sourdough milk bread! It had a buttery, brioche-like aroma with a mil d tang from fermentation. The crumb was moist, soft, and bouncy. It was so good I got two loaves! ＊Chorizo Meatball & Egg Humba Throwback to this one-day-only sandwich aka one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The housemade pandesal was so fluffy, the steamed egg was super jiggly, and the meatball kinda reminded me of longganisa (my fav!).

Came at 10:09 AM on a holiday Friday and they were already sold out of a few things, so I will be even earlier next time! I tried: + Dragonfruit and pineapple croissant + Calamansi croissant twist + Mango peach Cruffin + Ube piaya The calamansi was my favorite, followed by the dragonfruit croissant and ube piaya. Truly no misses. They didn't have the famed ube latte croissant - was on the menu for the next day though. Will be back to try that! Employees are super friendly.

Ordered: Uji Matcha Tart & Black Sesame Tart (~$8 for 2)…read more Aya's take: We were in the area looking for a quick sweet treat and stopped by Tart-Da. It's located inside Teazzi and actually is quite small inside. They didn't have the desserts displayed (and should probably get rid of that refrigerator that's taking up space) so we placed our order at the register without seeing what the desserts looked like. The Tarts were much smaller than expected. We got the Uji Matcha Tart & Black Sesame Tart. They were also very cold, borderline icy. After taking it a bite, we decided to wait for it to thaw a bit. That helped a lot and I wish the worker told us to do that. It was much creamier, more pleasant, and I could actually taste the uji matcha cream and black sesame cream. I wouldn't get this again for ~$8 but it did the job.

Overall: 3 stars…read more High quality Asian desserts have landed inside of the Teazzi in Jersey City. They come with a high price tag, but I think they generally taste decent. (Matcha Mochi: C) - Has nice textural properties being soft and fluffy with a matcha intensity; I think the red beans would benefit from being slightly more coarse and the price point of $7 is quite high for a single mochi.

I felt like the empanada price $5.95 was a little steep for the size and the amount of filling it was a decently tasty savory breakfast item. The blueberry citrus muffin was so delicious. It was moist, filled beautifully with blueberries & a hint of citrus. It had a nice muffin top texture that was enjoyable. Iced lavender latte with almond milk was decent. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad either. It was just kind of basic tasting compared to other ice lavender lattes I've had which have more of a prominent lavender flavor and the espresso beans are more distinct, smooth, and bolder than roast'd. Customer service is always on point here! Always feeling welcomed.

I burned my tongue, that's how hot. I couldn't take another sip for a while until it cooled down, then it was really good. So just something to be aware of. The other disappointing thing was they have pastries on the menu so I went to order one but the barista said they actually didn't have any available. So I ended up having to go somewhere else for that. I'm still giving this business 4 stars though. I know they're new, and every new business deserves time to work out the kinks!

Stumbled across this place and I'm so glad I did! They're a coffee shop with pastries and boba drinks available. The shop is a little small with a little bit of bench seating and one table, but it works. I decided to go with an ube infused latte which was good. I didn't think the ube flavor was too strong but I did order another add shot of espresso which might've overpowered the ube flavor. Also, I really appreciated how the barista asked if our drinks were sweet enough before we left the shop. Amazing customer service!! I would stop by again for another drink if I'm in the area.
