My favorite bubbles I have found in the States. Incredible Matcha Quality. Reasonable Price. I got the Cold Madagascar Vanilla Matcha with Boba and milk. As a Taiwanese-American, I'm always trying to find a place with good ingredients, primarily the bubbles and tea, separately. I usually skip on the fancy or wild flavors which are already *far from* the idea of *bubble tea*. I usually get with 0 sugar and 0 ice (yeah I'm psycho, or maybe I'm just old). Anyway, the bubbles here have great bounce, they don't fall apart too quick or too slow. Honestly, the bubbles are as close as you can get to some of the BBT places in Taiwan. The Matcha was strong, I really enjoyed it. It didn't taste too powdery, but was blended enough to where it actually tasted like leaves and not fake "essence". Strong, crisp, steeped flavor. I do follow the owners and their sourcing of product. It's good to know they understand the product they're working with. Whenever I'm in Princeton, I go here for BBT. read more

Madagascar vanilla matcha tastes yummy! Much better than dirty lavender honey matcha here. read more

We ordered a matcha Soft Serve with cocoa powder and boba as a post-dinner dessert. The matcha flavor was strong (as I like it) and the boba added some nice texture. My only complaint was that it was a bit watery and seemed to melt really fast... But I have no complaints about the flavor. read more

This is a great spot if you like matcha. Unfortunately for me I am not big on Matcha, I tired some from my wife... it's very strong in flavor. I would've got some milk tea but they had run out of boba. Other than that the workers there are super chill. It's a big place with chairs and tables. Tons of students going in and out. Definitely a fan of the vibe and am giving 5 stars for that :) read more

I love this place!! great food and drinks! Definitely love coming here. The place has a very nice environment and great staff. I got the mango slush and I love it. They play great music. Great place to study and get work done. read more

Junbi - Mango slush - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

A very popular place! I like the match strawberry with milk, very refreshing and right amount of sugar. The oolong with milk is too sweet for me, I ordered less sweet but still too sweet, it tasted like milk cap instead of milk added to tea, I can't taste the oolong. I also tried the rice ball flight, it is decent. read more

I find this place a little overrated. I ordered a simply straight cold matcha tea, with almond jelly added. The matcha tea was ordinary, the jelly was all clumped up that I couldn't even suck it out with the straw, therefore making it impossible for me to enjoy the almond jelly. A little disappointed. read more

Junbi has a unique menu that not many places in the area has. Revolving around Matcha, Junbi offers a lot of different flavor drinks. I would say that they are rather inconsistent with their Boba as there have been times were the Boba were overcooked or undercooked and it makes the drink a lot less desirable. read more

Junbi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

After seeing so many of my friends visit junbi, I decided to give it a try while in Princeton. It was slightly crowded on a Saturday afternoon, both with people studying and customers, but there were one or two tables still open as well as the high chair area. You have the option of ordering from a kiosk near the entrance or at the counter for some human interaction. My friend got the matcha soft serve while I ordered the vanilla soft serve and strawberry latte. Sadly, the matcha soft serve came quite melted, but my friend still thought it was yummy despite not enjoying matcha drinks. My vanilla soft serve was also tasty and fortunately unmelted, but I found the texture to be slightly grainy and not as smooth as I would have liked. I originally wanted the raspberry white chocolate latte, but they unfortunately didn't have it available, so I instead got the strawberry latte. The drink itself was very pretty, with three layers of coffee, milk, and strawberry, and I enjoyed the not excessively sweet combination of fruit and coffee in the drink. Junbi has a nice menu of unique drinks and the location itself seems like a nice place to study with wifi provided, although the noise level might be a bit high. I hope to return soon! read more

Well in downtown Princeton and has a clean and bright interior. The kiosks are nice for self-service. I liked how you can order the ice and sweetness level. I ordered a green tea with dragon fruit and aloe jelly add-in with less sweetness and still kind of sweet for my liking...also for $8+. It was good, but the price point was too high, and it gets more expensive with other drink combinations. read more

Top tier match and boba served here. Also quite happy with the soup that's occasionally on the menu.

I knew I had to go check this place out after hearing about it from so many people. I'll be honest, I'm not a matcha person. I never really liked anything matcha flavored at all, so I was nervous about coming here. Located in the main streets of Princeton, next to the campus, it was already really popular among the people there. Their store isn't the biggest, but a good size with some seating and tables inside. I saw a lot of students studying and doing work there, I don't blame them because I would probably do the same. I loved the 'vibes' of the place, lots of light and the vibrant colors of the walls and interior boosts your mood. Okay but the DRINKS??? WOW. I was surprised at how much I loved them. Now I've been here about 3 times now and so far I've tried their Vanilla Madagascar with oat milk and boba pearls. The flavor of their matcha is so smooth and paired with the vanilla made it sweet but not overly sweet, it was simply delicious. Their boba pearls are okay, nothing special about them. I've also had their regular matcha with oat milk, and that was really good too. So refreshing and clean tasting, I finished my drink within minutes. Even if you're not from around Princeton, I would still recommend that you come here and check out Junbi! read more

Amazing matcha drinks with a lot of unique and interesting flavors! It was the perfect refresher on a hot and humid east coast summer day. They have a ton of interesting blends like mango matcha, strawberry matcha, and strawberry chrysanthemum. The matcha flavor is very strong, but the sweet fruit flavors mixed in make it not too bitter. I personally got the mango matcha and really liked the fresh fruit bits. I also tried a bit of the strawberry chrysanthemum but thought it was a bit too floral for my liking. I'm looking forward to trying their milk teas/lattes next time. read more

Tried Matcha drinks for the first time. Had Cold straight up matcha with Boba and I liked it. I liked how I was asked how sweet I wanted my drink to be! My partner tried Mango Matcha Fresca which was okay. I didn't enjoy the fruity mish mash of tastes with Matcha. Today they had a an issue with their kiosks being offline and also their registers shutting down. So we were asked to place orders online. It was a hassle but nothing major. The staff was helpful. read more

JUNBI is my favorite boba tea place,they have many different flavors of teas and juices I highly recommended JUNBI, the food service is fantastic and every tea is handmade so that everyone gets an amazing time! read more

They have the worst boba I have ever had before. But the real problem is the service. They have stool stuff from me many times. For example one time I gave them a $20 bill and got a $5 donut and the lady gave me $5 back. I gave her the number and she still would not admit to stealing. The ambiance is not that bad and is nice place for college students to work. read more

Love the ambience! Bustling and has free wifi so this is a great place for students to grab a drink/dessert and study. Highly recommend the matcha soft serve here! read more

Junbi - Cold Madagascar Vanilla Matcha w/ Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

i go to junbi regularly, like at least 2-3 times a month, and i love it!! every drink ive tried is good, and i really like that theyre constantly adding new seasonal drinks. service is usually okay, the drinks come out quickly so no complaints there. most of the time i order through the kiosk. however, every time i go to junbi in the day to wfh or just chill, the music is reaaaally loud for a cafe where a lot of people come to study and do work. their playlists are consistently great but sometimes its so loud that i cant concentrate and its uncomfortable sitting near a speaker. i know this can be a matter of personal preference but every friend ive come with agrees that it's too loud at times. read more

So excited that Junbi has made its way over from the west coast. We tried the milk black tea and the yuzu dragonfruit matcha. They were both super good and not excessively sweet (you can adjust the sweetness level, too). The milk black tea has an authentic tea flavor. We'll definitely be coming back for more It's easy to do a quick pick-up and go but they also have seating inside if you wanna read, study, or catch up with friends. read more

This place is so adorable! The aesthetic is amazing, and there are a wide variety of drinks, soft serves, and other fun eats. I only tried the peach lemonade matcha, but I wish I tried their soft serve and rice balls. The peach lemonade matcha was good and not overwhelming sweet, but I tasted more of the peach and lemonade than the matcha. Definitely pop in here for a drink or some dessert when you're in Princeton! read more

I ordered the salom snack and strawberry chrysanthemum bubble tea and was very disappointed. The salmon snack fell apart when I opened it from the plastic wrapper and the drink was very watered down. Maybe I came on a bad day, but I am certain that I will not be coming back here even though the space was super welcoming and great for studying or working. read more

Great place to go to for matcha! personally, I did not have an appreciation for matcha til I tasted this. I would recommend getting the straight up matcha. it's pretty great. I got mine with less sugar and less ice and with aloe. I don't recommend the aloe and matcha combo though, so maybe get it with tapioca read more

The store has a great ambience and a good amount of drink selections. The drinks come in one size, which is pretty large, and we got the chrysanthemum tea and strawberry matcha which were both very good. We also tried the rice ball flight. The mentaiko was a little bit spicy and salty but I enjoyed the salmon and spam & egg ones. Will definitely come back! read more

LOVE Junbi!! My friend and I went the opening day and every staff member was super kind and helpful during the ordering process. I go there pretty often and It is always super clean and the perfect spot for a quick matcha break. The matcha is always super fresh and you can make lots of changes to your drink. I think they are going to do really well in Princeton and I would definitely recommend:) read more

the worker by the name of Diego is one of the best people at the whole store! amazing service and attitude. Love going here just off of him!

Junbi is a super cute matcha store right by Princeton! It was pretty busy when I walked in, but the line moved fast and my food/drink did not take long. They also had a machine you can order at. I got a strawberry matcha and added regular milk, they do have other milk substitutes available as well. I also ordered a spam and egg rice ball. The drink was really good and it reminded me of Boba Guys strawberry matcha drink. The rice ball was okay - not a lot of filling and mostly rice but flavor wise it was fine! Overall a cute spot to try, especially during warm weather :) read more

Just tried Junbi's "Dirty Matcha" as I rolled thru Princeton! Fun fact, Dirty Matcha with its espresso shots has the caffeine life of 4 cups of coffee. Nice combination, Smooth taste, creamy texture helped along with almond jelly and boba and oat milk. Will be my go to beverage when I need to stay on point for work...Cass was professional, polite, and punctual in her delivery of my three drinks in under 7-8 mins. They were prepared daringly! read more

Their matcha is very solid! My personal favorite items are the soft serve, cream puffs, and dirty matcha. I'm so excited that there is a matcha shop in Princeton at such a prime location. The store is clean, the staff is extremely friendly and tries their best to learn your name and order if you come in frequently. It's also a great place to sit and study. I strongly recommend paying Junbi Princeton a visit!! read more

Great boba spot! Had the strawberry matcha latte with boba, and it was excellent! Definitely recommend this place.

I first tried Junbi in LA and was surprised to see that there was one in Princeton as well! I tried the rice ball flight (one of each kind - mentaiko, salmon and spam) and the strawberry matcha drink. I enjoyed the salmon rice ball the most, and I loved the drink! I will definitely come back again! read more

Great matcha and coffee! Would absolutely drive out of my way to go here. Very clean and well worth the price.
