I wanted to try somewhere new that's close to the mall and found this place with great reviews. It's in a plaza and the inside look really nice and clean. Me and my family decided to try the Thai Tea Crème with boba, Artisan Milk Tea, and Peach Strawberry Fruit Tea. The Thai Tea Crème was delicious and creamy. The boba was soft and chewy. The Peach Strawberry Fruit Tea was refreshing and wasn't super sweet compared to other places I had try. It was perfect. The Artisan Milk Tea was yummy. I definitely would order all these drinks again and would like to try something new too. Even my family loved it! The staff were very friendly and helpful. read more

Superficial observation: Without seeing a sign that says it's a boba place, when you look in it doesn't appear like it'd be a place that sells food or beverages. I'm not against minimalism, but IMHO the interior could use a few touches that draw you in from the sidewalk and indicate that there's boba tea and donuts. More seriously: I really dislike giving unflattering reviews for small businesses. In this case, I hope the business sees this and maybe makes improvements. But there were a few issues of cleanliness that had me nervous. And the coffee I ordered took almost 15 mins to come out and had a really unfortunately soapy aftertaste. Cleanliness: Minimalism can be look very chic, but if your chosen aesthetic is white and gold/chrome, you've got to keep it clean. This cafe needs a good deep clean. I was grossed out to see oil and dirt smudges on the backs and seats of the white leather chairs, like no one has wiped them down on a regular basis. The panel molding on the walls looks sleek and clean from far away, but once I sat down I could see a lot of dust. The counter where you pick up your order had a lot of dirt and remnants of spilled beverages at the base. The decor adjacent to the serving area was also really dusty. The chrome garbage bin could contribute to a modern, clean look but it looks grungy and sticky. It's the lack of attention to detail in cleanliness in the front of house that made me worry about what the prep areas might also look like. Beverages: I got an Americano and a mango fruit tea with lychee. The fruit tea was delicious and the lid and straw situation is actually unique and cute. That's where we're getting the two stars from. The Americano coffee on the other hand was really disappointing. For over five dollars, I was hoping for a good quality cup of joe. Despite it not being busy, it took nearly 15 mins before I was handed a coffee in a Christmas cup (it's April so maybe that should've been my sign that they've got Christmas cups bc no one likes the coffee?) that initially tasted ok, but then finished with a really soapy aftertaste. I had 3 different people taste it--everyone agreed it had a dish soap-like aftertaste that spoiled the coffee. Normally, I might ask for a do-over since it was pretty gross. But I didn't have another 10-15 mins to risk getting another soapy coffee. I seriously feel bad calling this place out. I wanted to like it! But at the very least I hope it inspires a deep clean and more care making sure they thoroughly rinse out coffee brewing equipment after washing it. Even if I'd only gotten the yummy mango fruit tea, the cleanliness issues still would've had me distressed. So two stars for now. Sorry! read more

Bright, minimalistic boba shop near the Montclair mall. They have a kiosk to order from and I chose to get two mochi donuts to try alongside a jasmine milk tea. I like that the jasmine had a strong tea flavor and the donuts were soft and did taste like what they're advertise flavor says. I got a Dubai chocolate mochi which had a strong pistachio flavor and a rice crispy treat flavor that tasted like fruity pebbles cereal. They have a stamp card, staff is nice and the place is clean. read more

Stopped by here on the way to a friend's apartment! All four of us enjoyed our drinks, though I will add that my Vietnamese Einspanner was somewhat watered down (immediately upon receiving it & before the ice melted). They also did not have any boba nor honey boba available when we came, maybe due to it being 9pm? Service was amazing! They had all of our drinks ready within 10 minutes! The guy at the register greeted us on the way in and out They have games to play, but it feels like more of a study spot. Very aesthetic and pretty decor! Good for photos :) read more

We came here for an early Mother's Day post dinner dessert and got Boba for the entire huge family! The boba was pretty delicious. When you walk in you order via a pos. I would have like for some customer service welcome or greeting or someone to ask questions regarding any of the drinks but there was no one in the front. Regardless ... still ordered and it was delicious. read more

No regret getting Vietnamese Coffee in this place. Taste is quite legit while the Blended Mango was tasted quite sweet to me, I would recommend to adjust the sweetness for whoever not fan of sweet drink. Decor is minimalist and refreshing. Order is through self-service kiosk however the staff is more than happy to assist if there's any questions. Recommended!! read more

I came here during the week pretty soon after they opened and there was just one person ahead of me. It's a small space with the few tables and chairs, clean and bright. Ordering at the kiosk was straight forward and you can have your receipt texted or emailed to you. I got the Tiger milk tea with oat milk and brown sugar boba. It was delicious. Boba texture and brown sugar flavor were spot on too. Price was 6.49 after tax, which isn't bad and I appreciate that there was no extra charge for oat milk. I would definitely come back! read more

I was genuinely surprised how good the smoothie was from this place. Like wow great job

8/6/25 Cute little boba shop with delicious drinks & friendly service! (And I covered all the basics with my intro hahaha). It was too hot to go home just yet & Hubby wanted some slushy boba drink. This place is the closest & open until 10 pm-- BONUS! It's the only business open in the little strip mall. There was a kiosk to order & it was very easy to navigate, I ordered & paid in about 3 minutes coz I knew what I wanted (plus a customer was breathing down my neck behind me so I had to hurry). Your receipt is texted to your phone once you enter your digits. In about 5 minutes, my drinks were ready- pretty specific, less sweet n less ice, got it! Perfect! What a sweet treat! Hubby says it's close to the flavor & consistency as Lollicup, his preference. Will likely return. read more

I was in the area looking at some new homes. I yelped to see if there were any boba places to pick up a refreshing drink. Boba kafe popped up and seemed promising. The place is a cute spot, clean, and tables to study. I chatted with the owner and decided to do a pineapple Green tea with boba. The owner was nice and followed up after to see if I liked my drink. The drink was decent and boba was normal tasting. If I lived in the area I would probably stop by for a study session and some boba. The aesthetic of the store is inviting and so is the owner. read more

Chill spot. Thanks for being open late and having tables. Drink was alright, maybe I just got one that didn't really hit the spot for me. Super chill place. Good for studying or catching up with friends. read more

I don't usually come to the Montclair area, but I stopped by to grab some boba for my mom and me. I originally wanted the taro drink, but they were out, so I went with two strawberry pineapple drinks instead. At first sip, I couldn't quite figure out what it tasted like--then it hit me... a Big Stick popsicle! One of my childhood favorites. I really enjoyed it! The shop is a cute little space, and the staff was friendly, which made the visit even better. Glad I stopped by and would come back again if I'm in the area! read more

We came into an empty place. Nothing really up on the walls jsut a clean place that smells like boba!!! Our introduction was excellent. We ordered on this screen which was so easy to make the drink we love! Boba was a little soft but overall enjoyed the passion fruit black tea boba! We did zero sweet and boba and lychee so it was still pretty sweet, but good stuff read more

Really good. I've been here twice, first time I got the Oreo smoothie, which was delicious and second time I got the Taro Ube smoothie, it's really good as well. To be honest it tastes like fruity pebbles to me. Anyway, very friendly service both times. I like it here, will be back to try the Thai creme smoothie read more

Came to Boba Kafe excited for the crème brûlée foam I saw online -- only to find out it was already sold out... at 1 PM. Disappointing. Also learned their strawberry slush and taro ube are made with powder and syrup -- not the fresh, natural flavors I hoped for. I ordered a jasmine milk tea with sweet foam, but the foam was barely noticeable. The honey boba was spot on though -- great texture and flavor. The shop itself is clean and cute. read more

The milk tea and boba here is great quality, and it's one of my favorite spots. The service is quick and the workers are friendly. The interior is very clean and they have board games to play if you're with friends. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Very delicious drink, I was very tempted after seeing it on their menu and I am glad I caved haha! Super delicious, they take great notes of the personalizations. The guy at the counter was very nice and efficient, well packed and cute packaging. The environment is chill, small but cozy space. They also have board games inside which is always a nice touch. Only thing I would say is, I ordered my drinks for pickup, and they made it 15 minutes before my pickup time. I had to drive to get there, once I got there my drinks already started to melt. Still tasty tho! Def recommend this cafe read more

This boba shop is great! The workers were nice and the drinks came out delicious and fast! The boba is a little pricy but the quality is amazing. There are a few tables inside along with a couch and they have some board games that you can use to play with your friends. The shop is super clean as well. The only downside I'd say is that the music that is played inside is a bit loud I would recommend to the owners to turn the volume down a little bit. Overall would recommend this shop and would be back! read more

Came here in the afternoon, on a Friday. It was just the two of us in the shop. We entered and were greeted. The menu is very clear on the wall behind the counter. We asked some questions and were steered in the right directed by what we wanted. We ordered the strawberry lychee fruit tea with 50% sweetness and the strawberry pineapple fruit tea with 50% sweetness. The ambiance and decor was clean and chill. The olive tree in the counter is a cool idea. There are plenty of places to sit and even games to play. However, I think it is more of a stop and go shop. I would come back to try their boba pearls. read more

Fantastic drinks. My kids and I really enjoy all the drinks we have tried. The only critique I have is there's often only 1 person making drinks. This makes the wait extra long. But if you're not in a hurry then no biggie. They have lots of games to play which my kids love. Definitely give it a try! read more

This is my second time getting a drink from here and my drinks are always been delicious they've got a punch card so you can get a free drink after a certain amount of visits.

This was our first visit and I was immediately impressed by the immaculate interior design choices in the space. My daughter quickly gravitated toward the shelf of table games that is conveniently placed at kids' eye level. The menu is short and sweet, which is honestly ideal. Huge thank you to Jay for his knowledge and ability to cater to our dietary needs. The (caffeine/dairy-free) taro ube swirl blended drink was delightful. The Boba Kafe is beautiful, kid-friendly, has great customer service, and delicious drinks; you can't go wrong. read more
