Their drinks are still very good and I appreciate that they have red bean as a topping. The people who work there don't smile or greet you. I don't let it bother me because the main woman is like that with everyone lol. They are usually busy making orders and they always make them right so I honestly I can overlook that. Most of the time they don't take your order regardless if you're the only person in there or if there's a long line. They have a kiosk to take the order and they would help you at the register if you get their attention and want to pay with cash. Nothing has really changed as in decor but they did add some claw machines. I order from here a lot, probably the place I order from most consistently. I only go pick up if I have someone with me to stay in the car because the parking is terrible downtown. I often order on GrubHub or UberEats and it always comes just fine.

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!

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.

This place is a gem and really deserves to be highlighted! Although it looks like a small shop on…read moreMain Street in Metuchen, it's a booming and popular bubble tea place. 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!

If you do get an elaborate drink, I suggest sharing it with a loved one as they're huge! However, was slightly disappointed with how slow it was to get our drink as there was only one staff working the register and making these elaborate dessert/drink. If you're in a hurry or have unruly kids, I would not suggest coming here. Should you come here, do you use the parking garage across the street that is used for the train station. Otherwise it's impossible to find any space especially on the weekend.

And it was with that song dancing around in my head that I decided to drop in to mango mango dessert while waiting for my Lyft home from dinner. That's pretty awesome menu of desserts here so I asked some of the patrons what they liked best and all the ones standing around when I got there said the smoothies. Since we were hopping in a Lyft that seems like a good choice so I ordered the Green Tea Smoothie-o w. Red Bean & Black Rice which was the absolute best smoothie I have ever had. Nothing else is even a close second. My wife, being more of a purist stayed on brand and ordered the Special Mango Juice Smoothie-o and was equally impressed. This place is fire. I wish it was closer as I would go back every day. The smoothies are not cheap but worth every penny. This place is great. The service is great. And the smoothies are beyond comparison. Go here.

Literally the BEST I ever tasted! So SO delicious and natural tasting. Perfect ingredients and balance. Yes it's a bit pricey, but quality is thru the roof. If you r in the area, it's worth a try.

A little food shop just around the corner from the food court at Menlo Park Mall, my family and I…read morewent here 3 times. I heard that their chocolate gelato was safe for my kid with food allergies (he's allergic to eggs, wheat, nuts, avocado, pineapple, and kiwi) and the first two times went well. Service is always hit or miss but we went because my kid loves chocolate ice cream and we usually get one for him wherever we're at the mall. We are new to the state so are looking for familiar things for my kids. They do not have their own seating or tables so it's more of a grab-and-go place. We usually buy and enjoy at a table in the food court. The chocolate gelato is more like ice cream. It's not smooth or creamy and I definitely tasted ice crystals last time. But my kid thought it was acceptable and usually finished it and we had no issues. My problem is the last visit, the employees were very nonchalant (more than usual) and were more focused on chatting amongst themselves. I told them about the food allergies which they vaguely acknowledged but not much else. Guess what? Something was off because after eating half the small cup, he stopped eating, said he didn't feel good, then ultimately threw up 5 minutes later, after which he felt much better. How embarrassing! I felt bad for the janitors. But because of this, we're likely not going back for their frozen treats again until the employees are trained well when it comes to food allergies and their employees actually act more like employees. On a side note, I got a fruit crepe for my other kid who is super picky on that last visit. She enjoyed it a lot. So at least they live up to the name. As for food allergies, approach with caution. It was fine the first two times, so the ingredients of the chocolate gelato are safe. It was likely a case of cross contamination and/or using a common scoop, which is such a shame. My kid's old, go-to gelato place is surrounded by flavors he is anaphylactic to but he's never had a reaction before (they have allergy kits and use new scoops plus remove exposed portions so they take from the middle section to eliminate the possibility of cross contamination) so I'm bummed this place is no longer on the list. But if you want crepes and you have no food allergies, this place is pretty good!

It's conveniently located on the 2nd floor a stone's throw outside the busy food court area. The crepes are a little expensive, but the quality makes them a worthwhile treat.

I tried the Ferrero Rocher, and it was fantastic!
