    Creamy Bubble Tea
 Lavender Earl Grey with Soy milk and Tapioca pearls
 0% sugar and no ice.
    Brenda C.

    This new place is an absolute hidden gem, nestled in the Target shopping center and AFC Urgent Care at Ryders Crossing in Milltown, NJ. This small but mighty boba store sells a variety of boba drinks and quick small bites, such as the croffle (a croissant made into a waffle). There are plenty of tables and seating areas. I just wish their plastic cups were a bit thicker. Excellent, friendly service, clean environment, and plenty of customizable options.

    Classic milk tea with tapioca bubbles, creamy style.

    Milltown has a new bubble tea shop. Conveniently located near East Brunswick and away from the hub-bub of Edison. The Zio is the sister store of Cafe Zio in Edison. Spacious and modern, with available indoor seating. Ordered was a classic milk tea with tapioca bubbles, soy, no ice and no sugar. It's good!! Friendly counter staff, spacious and great drinks. I'll be back.

    Another pleasant visit to Cafe Zio! This time I got to try the croffle and my goodness it hit the spot!! It was crunchy yet so soft and chewy in the inside. I would totally recommend trying one of these things if you go here. The street waffle was great but the croffle was better.

    On a lazy weekend morning in search of caffeine, we found Habibi Motor Cafe - a cute, modern,…read morebright coffee shop with tons of seating for remote work opportunities. The look of the space alone draws me in to visit, but the coffee is so good as well. Their specialty latte flavors all sounded amazing, but we opted for the tiramisu & the white chocolate raspberry. I appreciate a cafe that makes their own syrups/flavors, and the taste at Habibi's reflects that. I loved having real raspberry puree instead of an imitation syrup, and the flavor of the tiramisu latte was spot on - not too sweet, just how we like it. The coffee was bold and smooth, and I cannot wait to return and try the rest of the menu!

    Ok, I initially saw this on social media and have had it saved for a while. However, lately I've…read morebeen hearing how the quality of drinks has gone down and is not as good as it is marketed. Unfortunately, the latter was very true. We got their Crème Brülée Latte. I will say it doesn't look the best in my picture below because we ordered our drink without ice, which was intentional. The espresso was terrible, and the syrup wasn't great either. We also got their Banana Pudding, which was probably the only saving grace. It was well made and did taste great. However, when you look at it in terms of the quantity you get for the price, it was not worth it. The space is nice and pleasant. It seems like a great spot to stop by if you want to get some work done. However, it's not worth it for the drinks or food.

The parking is inconspicuous and in the back shop. Make sure you dont miss it and turn into the realtor parking nextdoor. While they do have a shop, their actual store front was closed, which was a huge disappointment as we were trying to hide from the heat, but there are benches in the front of the store facing the street for some immediate seating options. The servers are your typical friendly-enough highschool/college-aged workers. They were sure to answer any questions I had and provided a requested sample, but I felt a bit disconnected and shut out from the screens and doors they are behind while you are trying to ask them questions. I get it may just be a cost-saving measure with the AC, but it made the whole interaction a bit sketchy to be honest. Oh well, all that comes with a hole-in-the-wall joint! In our urgency to escape the heat, we ended up downing the ice cream before I got pics~ I got the chocolate chip cookie dough and caramel cold brew, which was an AMAZING combo with chocolate chips in both ice cream flavors, and generous heaps of cookie dough. My friend got the cinnamon churro, and chocolate and peanut butter swirl, and he highly recommended the peanut butter swirl! Overall, they have some delicious and plentiful ice creams and they are generous with the portions here. If you are stopping by for a summer evening, I do believe its worth a try.

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.

I went into this location with my family today just for a slice of strawberry cake and it was good as usual. The place was ambient, the staff were welcoming and the service was good. This is probably the smallest of the PB locations I've been to but have absolutely no complaints to make. The parking is pretty large too considering where this bakery is located.

    HORRIBLE EXP!! STAFF RUINED OUR GENDER REVEAL BY REVEALING GENDER…read moreWe ordered gender reveal cupcakes on 10/12 (name is Rad on order), giving the employee a sealed envelope with the gender since we didn't know ourselves. Later that day, we called to change the pickup date from 10/17 to 10/14, and the employee confirmed the change. When I asked to make sure all cupcakes would be filled, she said, "Yes, all will be filled with pink," completely ruining the surprise. This was supposed to be a private, special moment for us as expecting parents, and it was ruined by carelessness. The next day, another employee called to confirm our order but didn't even seem to have the correct details, proving the lack of communication. Please train your staff better for situations like this--moments like ours can't be redone. I emailed the company - they said the store manager will call but never did. Completely unprofessional. -- Reema

Based on her reaction, it's safe to say that their cupcakes aren't that bad. I wasn't a big fan of the service here. The people seemed like they just wanted us to get in and get out. I felt like they could've been more welcoming and nicer. They didn't even acknowledge my niece. The vibe here isn't really anything special. Would I come back here again? Probably not. You guys can check it out and see for yourself. Maybe I came on the wrong day.
