Most of the time I end up making it at home because places don't serve it at the quality that I usually get. The quality of this Matcha is insane and they have so many different varieties of it as well as different drink types, such as Matcha with fruits or lemonade. They also have different Matcha ice cream creams! I will definitely be back for the Matcha ice cream. This place was packed so be aware of limited seating. They do have an abundance of seating. It is just very popular! The staff was so great and helpful and describing each variety of Matcha and what their recommendations are as well!

Machapresso might be one of the best matcha spots I've tried in NJ…read more The drinks are well made and not overly sweet. Hojicha float was excellent, and the ube matcha latte had a really smooth flavor combination. The matcha parfait was fun and packed with toppings like mochi, red bean, strawberries, and sea salt cream. Nice touch that you can choose how strong you want the matcha ice cream. Space is spacious and nicely designed, good for hanging out or working. Weekends can get busy, but understandable.

We stumbled upon this place randomly while we were leaving the Marshall's plaza. There are a lot of…read moreoptions and some of them pretty unusual. I really like that they had 3 boba options: Brown sugar, Strawberry, and Honey. On their website there seems to be even more but they weren't advertised so maybe they weren't available at the time. The other boba listed on their website are Taro, Black Sesame, Mango, Chrysanthemum, and OneZo Triple. What we ordered: - Passion Fruit Green Tea with Strawberry Boba - Taro Sesame Milk Tea I am a big fan of the strawberry boba and both drinks were pretty good. I would definitely return to try out other things. I noticed that they also have ice cream as well There is a parking lot but it shares it with the other businesses and the apartment complex so it was limited. We snuck in a spot for "future residents". Not sure how much it is monitored but we were fine even though our drinks took a particularly long time. I think there might have been some issues with the order before us. They did apologize for the delay.

As I searched for a bubble tea shop in the area, I found this shop. I thought oh that must be new…read moresince I know that area and have never seen it before. To my surprise this shop is actually in an apartment complex. That's probably why it's a little out of the way and parking can be a concern as it's a private area. The spots near the shop all have signs on them so I am not sure if I was allowed to park there. By the register, I asked if it was okay to park there and they seemed unsure as well but said it should be fine to park and leave within the hour. It may designed in a way where you live in the complex and can just stop in without leaving the property which I have seen for a couple of these newer apartment buildings. The shop itself is fine, clean, small amount of seating. I think this may be the type of shop where I just pick up or get delivery from instead of bringing a big group to hang out for some bubble tea. I had ordered a Sesame milk tea. It was essentially a milk tea but sesame seeds were blended through it. It was gritty kinda like how red bean bobas are but not like sweet bean paste. It had that sesame seeds taste that you get from burger buns with sesame seeds on them. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but I can't say that's what it was. Maybe others like that as it's probably healthier than tapioca balls but I just was not into it. This shop online, prided itself on making their tapioca balls in house. I didn't get them cause I just wanted to try the shop and the balls were all $2+ add ons for whatever drinks I looked at. I didn't dislike coming here but I think if I come back I would order something else, probably something more flavorful

(My fav color) Tons of ube and pandan and coconut goodies that go beyond your basic desserts, it truly was so hard to choose. My family doesn't eat eggs and I wanted to bring back something for them and the girl at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful at directing me towards suitable desserts. Also love that it seemed like a small family owned operation I opted for the calamansi drink which was perfect for a 90 degree spring day and a pandan coconut pudding to bring home. I wish the pudding was a bit less sweet (I tend to dislike overly sweet things) but overall, this is the most extensive filipino dessert place I've found in the tri- state area and I will be back if I'm around somerville again

Pssst... want to taste real ube instead of the artificial flavoring? Then look no further than Kafé…read morede Manila. Everything here is lovingly crafted by Kathy, the owner, who makes items from scratch, including their ice cream. You can truly taste the difference: fresh ube, no artificial flavors. Just pure goodness. Kathy and her husband take great pride in their Filipino menu, offering a variety of delightful treats centered around the beloved purple yam. Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is ube, and why is it so popular? Contrary to popular belief, ube isn't a fruit. It's actually a purple sweet potato that's highly sought after in the Philippines. If you love taro, you'll love ube even more. It's a staple in many Filipino desserts and dishes, known for its rich flavor and vibrant color. If you're in search of delectable drinks and cookies, this is your spot. Their signature ube drinks range from floats and lattes to coffees, milk teas, and even ice cream. All with delicious bits of real ube in every sip. Not in the mood for ube? No problem. They offer a wide variety of options, including their Pinoy series, pandan drinks, Milo drinks, matcha, cold brews, and more. And I have to mention, they now serve Vietnamese coffee, Filipino-style. It's pure heaven in a 16 oz cup. The shop itself has great lighting, perfect for IG, Yelp photos, or even vlogging. Just note that seating is very limited.

I'm vegan and gluten-free, and I love milk teas, but there are a lot of teas I can't get because they already have dairy added. I really wish they had more dairy free options. I got a delicious melon tea once in the summer, and I've also gotten a brown sugar oat tea in the winter. My friend actually recommended the brown sugar oat tea because it's his favorite, and when I tried it, it really was good. They were able to modify it so that it could be vegan for me. I've only gone there with groups of friends, and we've always been able to find seats at the tables and chairs. The bathrooms are always clean. I really enjoy this place a lot, and I have only positive things to say.

I got the medium spicy waffle fries and then I asked for cheese in the inside and it was great my only if about this place Was that it did take quite a while for me to get the side condiments after I asked it took about 10 minutes for the woman to get me cheese. Besides that everything was great just the service takes a little bit of time when I went to go eat the outside area was a big grass field and they had a huge TV. I definitely recommend coming here for a late night snack or a drink because everybody is gathered downstairs there's ambient lighting And overall was a great experience

Quality was good, we all enjoyed it and was filling enough that we were not hungry for dinner afterwards. Good and wide selection of teas (one of us had a smoothie with 30% sugar) and drinks. We asked for a non nut allergic option for some of the package offerings and they were happy to adjust it. No worries there. Interior is conducive for tea, conversations and quality time with loved ones. All in all, good time was had by us without breaking the bank or having to go into the city for a fancy hotel experience. We made reservations, but didn't need to. That said, by the time we left around 5-6 place was full. In a mall with lots of parking, other Asian restaurants near by. This place is a chain with other stores in various areas. Clearly a model that works.
