I've seen a lot of the real fruit bubble tea shops in the malls but never thought to try one…read morebecause how legit can it be right? Well, the one in the Menlo Park mall food court is totally legit! Like the name of the shop, they use real fruit. You can see the staff cutting the mango and by the way, the mango they were cutting looked so juicy. My kids ordered mango diamond slush and mango pineapple smoothie. Both were good. The mango diamond comes with free mango chunks. We added lychee jelly. The mango pineapple does not come with free mango chunks but can be added as a topping for a fee. We ordered this with the mango chunks and rainbow jelly (you can only add 2 toppings). I ordered the coconut milk tea. I really enjoyed it but it was super sweet. It tasted like sweetened coconut milk. I added rainbow jelly which was really good.

I loved that the very friendly barista asked whether we had any allergies, preferred milk, or fruit, tea, and whether we liked Boba. There was an element of surprise, but also the ability to choose some aspects of the purchase. The deal was fantastic and the server was extremely pleasant and had a super positive demeanor. The café is also very cutely decorated, makes you want to spend some time there. We'll definitely be back!

We came in around 9:15 last Friday…read more What we ordered: - Passion Fruit Lemonade with Crystal Pearls - Torched Crème Brûlée Strawberry Boba Milk The passion fruit lemonade tasted so sour/fermented. I only drank 1/4 of it and tried to pawn it off on my husband who is not picky but even he couldn't drink it lol. His strawberry drink was super milky at first but tasted better after we mixed everything together. But having to mix it took away from the crème brûlée because it dissolved into the drink. I wish they premixed the milk and the strawberry sauce and put it in a sip top to actually enjoy the crème brûlée. Service was also notably worse than the other times we visited. The workers were just talking amongst themselves and it felt like a bother when we asked to order with them instead of waiting for the kiosk because there were already others there. Not sure if we would go out of our way to come here again since it has fallen off from our first visit.

Love coming here and seeing people from toddler age to folks with their grandparents. Bubble tea is for all! My husband loves to try the new fruity varieties that get added to the menu. Every few weeks there is a new, unique fruit combination that blows him away. I stick to my tried and true Thai iced tea with boba, and NOWHERE else has been able to compete. The details are what makes this place stand out. If you buy multiple drinks, they place your order in an adorable, reusable purple bag. Also, there is a rewards program. So if you're an avid boba drinker, make sure you sign up. Every few orders you can score a free bite to eat or bubble tea. Since it's a hit spot, this place can get packed at peak times (post work hours, and especially on weekends). So happy to have such a lovely shop in my town. Thanks, Akihi!

Upon entering the establishment at around opening time of noon on a weekday, the workers/staff were…read moreunpacking and setting up. Then also you see a few customers who were already waiting for their placed drink orders! Also, the customers were not even patrons of the supermarket, so that also goes to show that people are just coming in straight for their bubble tea fix! Situated inside LOTTE (another reviewer wrote HMART..so: correction there), by the inner food court area, this is a cute little spot. That is the reason for this review actually. The food court is also convenient as there are other food options but having a bubble tea place as an addition is a huge plus! This Gong Cha store looks very tidy, and well-managed. The workers were friendly and can provide recommendations. While waiting for the orders, you can notice the employees are busy making all their necessary preparations and everyone seemed exceptional. The drinks were made fresh and also did not realize that they also have freshly brewed coffee - what an amazing selection. In addition to several drinks, also ordered a viet coffee. Normally, bubble tea stores do not have fresh coffee (usually it's instant because that is not their main product.) So for them to have that as a choice, and to be made fresh - that is a true win-win situation! So the menu choices were a bit long, and requires really focusing into each category to get a sense of what's available. The icon that shows a mini coffee bean next to each drink represents caffeinated vs non-caffeinated. Also, if you are unsure, it is best to ask the employees for further suggestions and ingredients, in case of anything you may not prefer. (Had no idea about the winter melon choice, wow!) The wide array of selections is really super amazing; with so many variations that can be added! The takeaway with this review is the opportunity to be at a supermarket and while you're doing your shopping, there is this awesome bubble tea store that anyone can just stop by for a quick drink! Parking is really convenient, and the nearby restrooms were also very clean. Kudos and congrats to management for making this work on all levels. Food court go-ers can enjoy, supermarket customers will drop by, and the list can go on. Support your local businesses!

This Gong Cha location in Edison, NJ is gargantuan with abundant tables and chairs! It is a clean, well light relaxing atmosphere. I can imagine the table hibernation occupied by patrons lingering for hours as I would with journaling and poetry separately. The atmosphere is decorated with Japanese animation sketches of characters throughout this traditional brick and mortar store. The drink lid also contain animation sketches. As a Asian American woman, I do not have a iota for taken an interest in Asian animation sketches and never did. However, I have a strong predilection for traditional fictional cartoon characters as Hello Kitty, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, or Paddington Bear.

The ice, as usual, entirely melted and my drink became room temperature - this time during my long-haul car ride returning to NYC. The grass jelly is average, somewhat served chilled and paucity for minimal quantity but a nice delight. I strongly believe there is a price discrimination for preferential treatment as New Jersey is significantly lowered price than its neighbor state New York. For $6.50 medium drink it is very reasonable price by the economic standards of stagflation 2026 era. If I live within distance from Edison, New Jersey and have driving skills enabling car ownership I would surely make the occasional trek to this Edison, NJ bubble tea business.
