I've been here in the past for their onigiri, but I was surprised to see that they now have udon, snacks, and decorative pins for sale! I really like their onigiri, which you can get in either small or large sizes. My personal favorite is the ume onigiri, which is a tangy plum flavor. But if you want something with more protein, the salmon onigiris and the chicken onigiris are really good as well! The staff are welcoming and kind, and they were open to answer any questions we had. My husband and I shared 3 onigiris and an udon, and that was enough to fill us up! The shrimp tempura that came with the udon was delightfully crunchy and savory. All in all, I love how convenient this spot is for students, and I'll definitely be back to try more onigiri flavors!

I learned about Yaya Tea from a friend who lives around the area and had their rice balls for lunch…read moreone day. While Yaya Tea is most known for their teas and rice balls, I was feeling adventurous and decided to pick something up from their take out menu for lunch. I called in an order for vegetable yaki soba (extra charge for proteins) and was initially shocked and disappointed at the size of the container as it was much smaller than I had expected. However, my thoughts changed when I dug into the dish -- the noodles were packed to the brim of the container so I found the portion to be quite filling. I wasn't so terribly full, but at the same time, I also didn't need to procure additional snacks to get me through the rest of the workday. The flavor was good, albeit a little salty for my taste, and what really made the dish were the mushrooms that had a nice spongy texture that was reminiscent of animal protein, particularly Chinese food beef. Will be returning to try their other entrees and rice balls!

The passion fruit tea was very tasty and fruit forward but I asked for low sugar and this was really sweet. For those that order teas at their full sweetness and want more fruit flavor v. tea flavor, I'd say the drinks are good. If you want to customize, this wouldn't be the right place. Also, if you're looking for a quiet place to get some work done, the TV here is ultra loud to the point that lingering is uncomfortable. But the young woman who took my order was nice.

The quality is like Gong Cha. The owner is very nice and friendly, there's a decent array of teas, and the space is gorgeous and with modern decor. I wish there were more dessert and snack options but the tea is great. The seating area is so roomy, open, and newly renovated so I'm unclear about the other comments. You can see the back area and it's super clean and tidy. I've ordered brown sugar and strawberry green tea here and once where was karaoke which was alot of fun. They are open later than Coffeebox, offer asian options, and different atmosphere that Melao doesn't. Support new businesses and Asian businesses! I really like this place and return to it to get myself treats. I love reading and playing my switch here. I like that I don't have to go to the city or a neighboring town (outside of our Chinese takeout spots) to see my community and have familiar snacks. It's actually a blessing for me and a welcoming upgrade for Rahway!

The couches are super comfortable, and the staff was really nice and patient with me. I originally wanted a hot tea, but the strawberry lemon green tea only comes iced. I do wish they offered some of their fruity drinks hot, but the cold version was still really refreshing!

We got a taro milk tea with lychee jelly and a crème brûlée cap and a thai tea with boba and a crème brûlée cap. They both taste great and it's nice for our sweet tooth indulgences. It took a little longer than normal for our drinks to come out but we didn't really mind. Despite that though, the employees working had brought us one of their nutella banana croffles as an apology. They were really sweet and it really made us feel appreciated too. We love Dino Boba !

Service was good... Parking is a big issue here. You can never get a parking close to the shops unless in. In peak hours . Sometimes you have to pay for the parking... pricewise, it was OK.. Got a taro drink and it was good . My kid liked this and gave a thumbs up... I got Thai iced tea and it was really good.. We also got another. Mango tea and it was average . Overall had a good experience . 4 stars

Everything was so good and each drink had its own unique flavor. I especially loved the Vietnamese iced coffees. They were strong, creamy, and the ube and pandan flavors paired so well with the coffee. The matcha drinks were refreshing and fruity without being overly sweet. The space is also clean, modern, and perfect for grabbing a drink with friends. Definitely recommend checking them out if you love Vietnamese coffee, matcha, or want to try something different!

They refuse to have any interpersonal interaction with customers. They inform the customers to use the kiosk machine instead. Cleanliness: The store is clean with no garbage or debris left on tables, chairs, floors, or near the garbage can area. Pricing: The drinks and snacks here are decent prices from $5.00 and up. Ube Coconut Vietnamese Coffee: This drink was a little different and it just did not taste great. My friend stated that he was glad he added sugar, but he felt like this drink could have been better as it was not to his liking. Mango Matcha: I have mixed feelings about this drink as it tasted a little weird. One sip it tastes a little sweet and another sip it tastes a little bitter. I think I should have stuck with some mango drink instead. Chocolate Egg Pancake: Last time we got this item it did not have any chocolate filling inside of it. It was just a regular egg pancake but chocolate looking. They perfected this with the chocolate filling inside and it definitely tastes better now. Overall: I do not think I would come out of my way just to come here to get bubble tea. If I am in this area again next time, then I may give it another try with a different drink. They should also start to communicate with their customers because some customers love to interact with people.

I've heard so much about 7 Brew on social media, so I was super excited when one finally opened…read morenearby! When I checked it out, I was a bit overwhelmed, but in the best way possible. This coffee shop has so many different flavors, and you can customize your drink as much as you want. I highly recommend looking at their website beforehand or having an idea of what you want before heading over. When I went, I didn't see a visible menu board from the back of the line, so I pulled up their website on my phone while waiting. It's a drive-thru-only concept, and the staff takes your order on iPads as you move up in line so your drink is ready right when you reach the window. This made everything go by super fast and smooth. I ordered the iced Banana Bread Mocha Latte, and it was delicious! This is the perfect spot to get into coffee if you aren't a huge coffee drinker yet, as the signature drinks lean on the sweeter, milkier side. Because everything is customizable, you can easily add extra espresso shots or ask for light milk, but their preset recipes are definitely on the sweeter side. Overall, I had a great experience and have already been back. It's definitely worth checking out, especially since they have so many other fun energy drinks and refreshers!

I wanted to love 7 Brew, and my 3 star review is probably completely due to user error and lack of…read moreresearch prior. I've heard of 7 Brew quite a bit from my friends and family in the south / in other states. The basis of what I've heard about 7 Brew was: tons of flavors combinations, coffee drive through, opportunity to get coffee, milkshakes, or even energy drinks. When I heard that there was a 7 Brew in the area through a friend, I knew I had to make the trip. I love a good coffee, and I love unique flavor combinations. From my first visit I'm a firm believer that avid 7 Brew lovers don't love coffee, they love sugary drinks and milkshakes. The flavors that 7 Brew offers are truly insane, and it's really difficult to know what they even offer unless you did your research (and they only just created an app recently, so I have no idea how people learned about this prior!) Pros: Amazing flavor combinations and truly have something for everyone. Coffee for adults, milkshakes and sodas for kids. If you're in a rush, they serve you quick and efficiently. Staff are super kind and patient with you! Add one and customizations are all part of the price, which no other coffee shop does - so cool! Add unlimited toppings and flavors all for the same cost, it's like you're a mad scientist here! Alternative milk options are also no additional cost. Cons: If you were ever confused with names at Starbucks, don't ever come to 7 Brew. Their menu consists of names and terms that are super confusing, it almost feels as if staff are speaking a different language. Research prior to coming here is key. Most of their coffee drinks come with breve, which is half and half -- if you actually like to taste your coffee, make sure to swap this for something else. Even though we swapped our breve for whole milk + oat milk, our beverages were super light and didn't taste like coffee one bit. I've since learned from a friend that we should have asked for extra shots of coffee, so there's a hack for you. The flavors are intense, and everything they serve is insanely sweet, so unless you love drinking your daily caloric intake in one beverage I would definitely recommend asking them to limit the amount of flavor syrups they use. They did however taste great, it just tasted like flavored milk instead. This drive through situation was crazy, with 3 lanes and no signage directing you anywhere - but the staff here truly knows what they're doing and makes the process as efficient as possible. Definitely do your research before visiting, because I'm sure that the experience would be way better if I had!
