    Pumpkin spice latte
    Melinda K.

    Ever since I tried their Brownie cookie from my last Yelp Elite event at Pizza Hub back in November, I decided to try their lattes and other cookie flavors since my friend hyped about it. I came an hour after opening time and there were a few people waiting to receive their orders. Expect to wait 20 minutes for a single coffee/matcha latte and remind the barista to give your cookie. I recommend walking around the farmers market while you wait so you don't freeze your butt off during winter. To be honest, I had difficulty tasting the flavors of their seasonal lattes. It was mostly oat milk, not much pear flavor and pumpkin spice flavor. Their cookies were the best part, which made me come back for more. I recommend getting their stamp loyalty card if you're going to visit frequently to get a reward for collecting all their stamps.

    Magical Box Bakery is a food vendor at Newark Farmers Market every week. It's an unattached white caboose. Friendly people. No decor The new location isn't as close to the freeway as before. It's nearer to the front entrance of NewPark Mall. Plenty of parking as usual. Offerings: baked cookies(sweet treats), summer menu, tea, lattes, coconut coffees, signature coffees. Short line. Sips: dirty ube latte (6.50) ordered, pd. Ready in 5ish minutes. New item on menu. -not disappointed thou didn't know what to expect -tasted slightly sweet from house made ube syrup. Shot of ristretto espresso not tastable though 1/2 the water used. Obviously, the milk overpowered the espresso & ube. -noticed some drinks have double espresso shots. 4.5 stars: worthy. Quality/Quality: adequate

    Magical box is a coffee and sweet treat truck at the farmer's market. I tried the London fog with their house made vanilla syrup and it was very nice on a cold and gloomy day. The earl gray tea was prominent. They offer a variety of other specialty coffee and matcha drinks with house-made syrups. Good service. Casual. Please come and create your own experience.

    Salted chocolate chip, moist with a crunchy bottom, tasted great

    AMAZING COOKIES! These are better than Christina Tocci cookies and the best thing is you are supporting a local family with serious baking skills. Magical Box is available at Farmers Markets and also do delivery and pickup, you can preorder on their website. We found them at Newarks Farmers Market and it's been one of the best unplanned discoveries we've had in awhile. You can't beat fresh-baked cookies, the taste and texture at the most optimal. S'mores Sandwich Cookie, an evolved version of the Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. Soft cake-like batter melts gently in your mouth, sandwiching a cloud-like marshmellow layer. It's very balanced and not too sweet, every bite I had I kept asking myself "why is this so good". Salted Chocolate Chip, crunchy layer on bottom with a soft bite-through. Salt and chocolate a great mix of sweet and savory. We got a single Bougie-Cookie which is not pictured, its a great oatmeal cookie based on the urban-legend $250 NM cookie recipe.

    I was on Yelp late at night and saw Magical Box Bakery on my feed again. My mouth started to water remembering the last time I got cookies from here. Unfortunately preorders were closed, so on a whim messaged her on Facebook to check if their farmers market stand had walk-in purchases. I woke up early on a Sunday and went to the Newark Farmers market at the Newpark Mall next to the AMC. I probably bought way too much for myself. I got a box of Snicker doodles, kerfuffles, and Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They were all so good! Moist and flavorful without being too sweet. I also got the brownies she was selling. Delicious. I sort of wish she had an assortment cookie box which had all the flavors, so I could try everything without having to get a full box of each. I only say this as I'm getting chubby eating all these cookies

    I got the s'mores bar and I was so disappointed. And I loves s'mores everything! It's literally just a chunk of marshmallow. Graham cracker layer was literally just crumbs. I wish it was thicker. The marshmallow wasn't really toasted, it was just for the color I guess. Picture on IG makes it look hella good. I took a star off for the taste and another star off for the price. I really wanted to like it so I wanted to warn others. Hard pass for me. I purchased 2. Took a bit and threw both away. It was so disappointing that I drove me to write a review.

    Cute and simple packaging

    The easiest transaction ever, and the Red Stars are totally deserving! Heather was able to accommodate my last minute order of 5 dozen cookies for my son's graduation party and each cookie flavor did not disappoint! Salted Chocolate Chip - Amazing! Kerfuffle with customized M&M colors - So cute and yummy! Bougie Cookie - Delish! Snickerdoodle - Soo good! And the pièce de ré·sis·tance - Magic Swirl! I packaged each cookie in its own bag so guests wouldn't be touching the cookies but Heather packaged each dozen in brown boxes with red and white twine. Each box was labeled with the cookie flavor inside, and she also included instructions on how to keep the cookies and how to warm them up if we choose to. I was definitely pleased with the cookies we got from Magical Box and I look forward to ordering from her again!

    I was referred by a family member, and I am so happy I ordered cookies from here. If you want to sample some flavors before ordering, Heather (the owner and baker) is occasionally at the Newark farmer's market on Sundays. I ordered 6 different flavors for my coworkers, and the fan favorites were the magic swirls, s'mores and cookies n cream. Everything was delicious and it was a very easy transaction. Heather replies quickly on Yelp and you can pay via venmo. Once they're done, you pick them up outside of her house. For larger orders, she prefers a week's notice. I am happy to support this home bakery and will definitely order again in the future!

    Delicious! Reminds me of the good ol elementary school days!

    OMG the Magical Swirl cookies! They were so soft and melt in your mouth. The packaging is so well done: simple and matching the cookies. The Magic Maker (baker) is always baking new, amazing goods so make sure to follow her on Facebook or Instagram for the latest creations!! Next on my list: Butterbeer cookies, Bougie Chip, Star Brioche loafs!

    The Magic Swirl cookie.   Red velvet and sugar cookie swirled together.  Yum!
    Misty D.

    I preordered a batch of the Magic Swirl cookies. They're so good! I love red velvet cake so this was right up my alley. Ordering is super easy and so is pickup. I'm definitely looking forward to trying all their flavors!

I ordered the cream coffee and it was amazing, especially with the jellies inside--it added a really nice texture and sweetness. I also tried my friend's Saigon coffee, which was definitely stronger in flavor but still really good. Service was friendly and fast, which is always appreciated in the morning. I didn't get to take a picture of my drinks this time, but next time I will. Not sure what the rush is like later in the day, but based on this visit, it's definitely a spot I'd come back to.

I selected $1 tip but it kept auto adjusting and ended up tipping 15% on the actual checkout page despite me adjusting multiple times. Not a huge deal but wouldn't make me inclined to order online on NovaTab. I got the Vietnamese White Coffee and it was pretty good. It was quite sweet but meant to drink slowly as the ice melts I assume. My husband got the Saigon Coffee and not even joking, he finished it in 2 sips. There wasn't even a chance to let the ice melt and to sip slowly as there was barely any liquid. I ordered it with light ice yet you can see it's filled with ice and there's even a gap so the drink isn't filled all the way. Overall, this spot has so much potential but not a good first experience. Given there's a lot of great local coffee shops, I won't be returning. Seems like other people have had similar experiences regarding the ice and not filled drinks so hopefully they take the feedback into consideration given their drink costs aren't cheap.

We loved how it was open late, had drink and dessert options, and had plenty of space for people to hang out. The place was brightly lit, had plenty of seating, and the vibe definitely encouraged socializing as the place had music and large groups talking. There was a variety of seating options and what I'm assuming was little coat racks for guests to bring to the side of their table to place bags or coats. There was even a little bookcase with different board games, both family-friendly and not, ready for use. The bathroom was tucked away and had air freshener as well (no explanation needed). After ordering, workers will bring your food and drinks to your table with a table marker. Everything was beautifully presented. We ordered hot chocolate which wasn't on the menu, but it was very hot and delicious, and worth it for $5 for a large. Staff was friendly and quick, especially when they noticed we hadn't received our drinks with our desserts, and in giving us to-go containers. The cheesecake was soooo good! They even had a little menu board displaying staff favorites. I got a slice of the oreo cheesecake and a slice of the biscoff cheesecake, which I ate about half of each before taking home. In my opinion it was definitely worth the price, which was about $10 or so each. Flavorful, well presented, and filling! Would love to come back if I'm in the area! Do be careful, as parking could get a bit tight here if busy!

The workers (I didn't catch their names but it was a young woman and man) were so incredibly sweet with customizations and explaining different drinks since they have an extensive menu. Their drinks run a bit sweet even though I usually get 100% sweet at all the other boba shops so if you're similar, I recommend at least reducing to 80%. They're currently running a BOGO 50% M-W for the first 50 customers. I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it's definitely a great deal and I'll try to visit as often as I can. There are a few more boba shops opening on this strip, but Tea Top is a great location that you should try if you haven't.

    Final Thoughts: 2.00/5.00…read more After dinner, my friend and I went to get boba at the shop a few doors down. Perhaps we should have chosen somewhere else. My friend said that his coworkers will go here sometimes and they seem to like it. To each their own. I have personally had better, but I'll try anything once. Overall, will be a 2 star for me today. Drinks: Matcha Latte: 1.5/5 Very interesting how this place has fairly high marks and reviews. Maybe because their other drinks are better? I chose this drink today because I've very much gotten into matcha. This drink was not for me though. First look gave me that sense too. Lovely layering, but it was when it was mixed did I really see it. My one note is the amount of milk that is added to this drink. When it comes to matcha drinks, I find that less is more with the base. This drink just had so much milk and ice at the bottom and it completely dilutes the matcha. Had this matcha been in a little less milk, it may have been better. This also dulls out the color of it and makes the drink itself unappealing when it's mixed. This drink is super grainy at the bottom and I tried to mix it more, but that really didn't help. Sweetness was alright. Again, flavor of it was just the milk, so I can't say too much of the matcha since it drowned out. Grapefruit Green Tea with Crushed Ice: 3.0/5 This was my friend's drink and I tried it for my review purposes. This was the better option of the two. The grapefruit and tea drink itself was very refreshing. Sweetness was good. Something about the crushed ice made it better. I honestly don't think this drink would be the same with the regular cubed large ice. The crushed ice was also mixed in with the grapefruit pulp at the top too. I like that addition of the grapefruit because of it's natural flavor and that texture from it. Grapefruit can be slightly bitter, but I actually like it that subtle bitterness with the sweetness and tartness in it. The green tea is a good option to have with think drink because it's very light and doesn't overpower the remainder of the drink. Sweetness was good for me. Definitely more of a passing drink than the drink option that I chose today. Menu: Good enough variety Again, looks to be your standard boba shop menu. There are a fair amount of items on their menu for you to choose from though. Perhaps their fruit teas would have been the better option for me here. I thought my friend's drink was really refreshing and appropriate for the weather at the time. --------- Quality: So-so The matcha really doesn't look like my ceremonial grade matcha powder. Slightly oxidized and dulled out green color. This might be because it looked completely diluted, but maybe not. What gets me was how grainy it was too. Now, looking at my friend's drink, I liked the grapefruit pulp and the use of the natural fruit inside the drink. So, will depend on what you get and your preferences. Price: Average Truly your average Bay Area prices for these drinks and what they are. The price will range from $5 to $8, so really within that standard boba drink price here. Service: Friendly They greeted us when we walked into the shop and they were also really quick to make the drink. I noticed the person making the drink come to the front too to see what we would order and he started making it right after we paid for the drinks. Loving the quick service. There wasn't many groups ahead of us, so he was able to do this. I'm sure they try their best to keep up and make it quickly to order though, which I appreciate. Ambiance: Standard boba shop The interior is giving your very standard boba shop and smell. There are a few tables on the side and the counter on the other side. I think this would be a nice studying stop or charting spot because it seems very peaceful. Location/Parking: Long Plaza; Optimal Parking Spaces This area is on Cedar Blvd. The plaza itself is quite long and made up of sections of buildings. All of it seems to be connected though, so there are parking spaces. Doesn't seem like it was super super saturated of an area during the time, so my friend and I were able to park close by. I really don't see parking being too much of an issue though.
