We recently had a networking event at the Village Tea Shop and had a fabulous time! Everyone loved their drinks and their space is cozy. Theresa, the owner is super kind and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Really loved Village Tea Shop and already miss it. Their beverages were delicious and they had excellent service.

Theresa is a so sweet! I ordered an iced Jasmine Green Tea with honey and it was so refreshing! So many tea options to choose from and definitely seems to be a hot spot during lunchtime for a pick me up! Will absolutely be going back to try some more beverages there. read more

What a friendly atmosphere and Theresa was great. I went to an event there, we pre-ordered our drinks and with 18 of us we had the correct drinks, and they were out on time. I had the spring into summer with strawberry, it was delicious. Look forward to attending or having an event there soon. read more

I have been visiting this boba shop since it first opened around 2016. The quality of the drinks here has been consistent over the years and I like all the drinks I've gotten here. My favorite is the mango milk tea and the jasmine green milk tea. Their drinks taste very fresh and light, especially their fruity drinks. I've found some boba places can sometimes have an artificial and syrupy taste when it comes to fruit drinks but that is NOT the case for this place. I would definitely recommend this place. Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Drinks: 4/5 read more

Adorable little spot I found on an online search for bubble tea/boba spots around where I was traveling in the area and this came up as the highest rated! Absolutely delicious, made fresh, not too sweet, too heavy, too watered down or too anything - PERFECT! So tasty, adorable inside (I definitely wanna come back and chill inside or grab a tea and do some work on my laptop in there) and ultra friendly customer service! Very calm and relaxed! Plenty of seating as well! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back! PS you can order ahead on their website for pickup - seamless and easy! read more

The Village Tea Shop is a small shop that sells teas (including bubble tea and tea latte's), smoothies, and coffee. The only thing I ever purchase from their shop is the bubble tea so my review will revolve around this type of experience. I've visited the Village Tea Shop numerous times as I stroll through the town of Ridgewood on a hot summers day, on a cool fall day, or a chilly winter day you can never go wrong with some boba! What I've found here that I haven't found in my other go to boba locations is popping lychee boba which just adds another level of excitement of grabbing a bubble tea at this location! I've tried their Mango, Taro, Matcha, Black Milk, and Jasmine Green tea's all delicious with some real potency. The workers behind the counter are so sweet and are open to providing suggestions for those unsure what to order. Overall 9/10 experience - the only downfall to this shop is the lack of parking - if you've been to Ridgewood you know that more times than not you're going to have to get street metered parking. read more

i asked the counter lady if you're able to do Lavender flavored since I couldn't find it on the selection(s) for Iced Bubble and without hesitation she confirmed that they are able & answer'd all of my ?s regarding my order. They also have noice tables & chairs inside not to mention the backgroundmusic is real ambient. 100% read more

I love village tea! I would visit them more often if the town of Ridgewood would provide free parking. This is a nice cozy, quite tea shop that provides welcoming seating area. This place actually takes the time to brew the teas made to order, unlike other big box bubble tea stores. I love their rose black tea with bubbles. Yes I would recommend Village Tea! read more

Village tea shop is the best boba place around. My usual order, The Lavender bubble tea is spectacular. We've come back many times and would highly recommend their bubble tea, although all of their different tea variants are delicious. They have lots of flavor options, as well (such as caramel, taro, honeydew, coconut, etc) The staff are top notch, as well - friendly and provide good recommendations. There is also a small sitting area inside with tables, which goes to fit the cute little location ambiance. Overall 5 stars, I come here almost everyday read more

This is a small, family owned shop that has a variety of drinks. You need to order online or call in your order. I had a mango milk tea, 25% sugar, light ice. It tasted fresh, no fillers, but it could have used some more mango flavoring. Prices are very reasonable. Credit cards accepted. Gong Cha is opening up a few stores down, so I hope they'll be able to compete with the chain. read more

I really like village tea shop because they don't have a powdery or artificial taste to their milk teas. It's also located in downtown Ridgewood which is convenient location however it may harder to find parking. Because of Covid, there's no longer any indoor seating and all orders must be placed either online or at the front door. read more

Love this place. Who knew yea could be so exciting & flavorful. So many flavor selections. You can't go wrong with any.

Amazing service, quality teas, and cozy ambiance!! I love getting the matcha with tapioca and the passion fruit with lychee jelly! read more

Really enjoyed my drink! Ordered off the "Pineapple Series" section and got a large iced pineapple green tea, 25% sweetness with half jelly/half popping boba. Love that you can customize the sweetness! You have to call or order online for the time being (May 2021) and they'll bring your order to the window, no going inside. I am a fan and will def return when I'm in the area next. read more

In addition to the smooth bubble teas, the tea shop is among the first purveyors of concoction at Ridgewood. My favorite ones churns out of matcha with pineapple(sunset?) , or rose black milk tea with a floral note. Flexible to customize the drinks with low-sugar option, appealing to the health-conscious crowd. read more

Village Tea Shop - Limited time (I forget the name) citrus themed drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I shouldn't like this bubble tea emporium so much -- but I do. When I think bubble tea -- I mistakenly associate it with teeny boppers and yesterdays trendiness -- but this cute little shop is so much more than bubble tea. The gracious proprietors (Eugene and May) opened Village Tea about 10 months ago -- and they are still fussing about how to best make this intimate space even more welcoming. Gene and May take tea seriously, about which their knowledge is encyclopedic. It is pleasing to talk tea with them and a cool place to sidle into after dinner for a spot of matcha. read more

Village Tea Shop - Sunrise before mixing. Matcha with Orange Juice. Very refreshing. Personal preference when I rarely don't want plain matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Small hole in the wall bubble tea cafe, in a busy area of Ridgewood, but very delicious. I ordered a honeydew milk tea with boba. The boba pearls need some work, they are kinda small and a little too soft for me. The milk tea however, is phenomenal. It had lots of flavor and it was very creamy without it being too thick or too sweet. Heads up to anyone interested in visiting the tea house, Ridgewood doesn't have the best parking so you might have to walk a little. I most definitely want to come again because the service is fairly quick and the cafe is very cozy. read more

Nice place to hang out and work. It does get very busy periodically but the bubble teas are worth the wait. Passion fruit, lychee, and Thai bubble teas are delightful and refreshing. If you can, try the matcha kit kats. I would recommend. read more

Such an awesome variety of flavors! Can't wait to go back and try the others. Try the matcha bubble tea! Delicious :) My boyfriend liked his mango smoothie too. read more

Always amazing Bubble Tea- good consistency boba and perfect sugar levels. I personally ask for half sugar and it's refreshing. Their tea is really good and authentic - you can buy loose tea leaves as well. If you don't enjoy their tea it's probably because you've grown accustomed to powdered or syrup flavored bubble tea. Natural tea is light, refreshing and smells heavenly. Their cafe has an expanded cozy seating section and wifi is available as well! They sell a few light snacks but tea/smoothies/coffees is their main speciality and I'm glad they concentrate their efforts on quality drinks vs expanding the menu. My Drink Reviews: 1. Taro Bubble Tea 25% sugar -- amazing! too me it tastes like a mild version of a classic cereal: Fruit Loops. In actuality Taro is a type of sweet root plant. 2. Classic Black Bubble Tea 50% sugar -- Classic black tea, which is strong but not overpowering. Very refreshing 3. Matcha 50% sugar -- YAS!! Amazing!! One of my top 5 favorite flavors. Promise it's not very earthy/leafy. It is rather fresh and tasty! I've just Matcha w/o Milk and Lychee Jelly (25% sugar) and it was very refreshing! The Lychee jelly cubes are a perfect contrast to the green tea. 4. Jasmine Bubble Tea 50% sugar --- this is perfect for a warm summer day. The taste isn't quite as strong as other teas when you add milk. This one is best enjoyed as is. 5. Rose Bubble Tea 50% sugar -- seasonal offering, worth trying once. Not my favorite but it has a pleasant taste. 6. Caramel/ Coconut/Vanilla/ Almond Bubble Tea -- no bueno 7. Tea Lattes are nice if you're in the mood for a very milky drink. I've had the Moonlight Fog and Green Tea Latte before. Both are OK, not my favorites because it's 80% Milk w/ concentrated Tea. 8. O-Cha tea 25% sugar + bubbles -- You can see and taste actual pieces of ginger in this drink!! AMAZING! I still found 25% too sweet. I think the honey ginger makes the drink sufficiently sweet; I think no sugar will be better next time, 9. Matcha Nana Smoothie less sweet w/ regular milk and bubbles -- OMG this was heavenly and so filling!! I stopped by after the gym and tried to "be healthy." It's filled w/ matcha, bananas and peanut butter Its been a while since I had this but it was delicious. 10. Chai Chai Bubble Tea is your classic Indian spicy tea which has strong cardamon flavor. It's very reminiscent of Starbucks Chai but obviously w/ boba! read more

Best bubble tea around! The tapioca bubbles are never under/over cooked like some other places and they always have a great variety of flavors. read more

Honestly, its my 2nd time here and it was really dissapointing. Chai latte tasted like just milk and my milk tea bubble tea was so icy it tasted like tea water. I dont know. Pretty disappointed. read more

Really cute place off the Main Street. Parking can be challenging but I normally find a spot on a side street. The tea specials are always delicious (I opt for whatever green tea is recommended.) light, airy feel in the smaller space. I take a window seat and relax here with my tea if I'm in the area. Young vibe too - if kids are not in school there will be a few here. read more

The bubble tea took over 13 minutes to make even tho I was the only customer there. I would've appreciated an estimated time if it was going to take that long. read more

Best bubble tea I've ever had. Now granted, I don't drink bubble tea like I do, coffee, let's say, but I've had enough to know the best when I taste it. Had a large coconut bubble tea which was amazing! $5 was all! They have a large variety of different kinds of teas and make all sorts of drinks: chai, bubble tea, smoothies. Place is gem!! read more

The best tea! My favorite is the Taro, oolong tea latte, and Thai Iced tea! The sitting area is super cute and they have wifi so if you want to sit and do homework or hang out it's a great spot. read more

This place is a real gem in the neighborhood. A lot of places can do bubble tea,but what makes this place different is the quality of tea and bubble that they use.You can really taste and appreciate it. Apparently they expanded to the building next door and now they've got a cozy new room with plenty of seating to sit and enjoy your drink. Overall, A+ read more

I love this place! It took me forever to get here to try it, but I am so happy I finally did because it is worth the 3 visits since and I plan on going many more times. They have a great selection of bubble teas and all of them are super fresh. So far I've had the original milk tea with bubbles and coconut with bubbles. Both are amazing but I prefer the coconut one. I want to try ALL the flavors, but I am such a sucker for coconut flavored things. It's hard to find bubble tea in my area so I am glad that this place is top notch! The owners are very very friendly and already seem to know me. As people have pointed out, the seating area is tiny. I've never been there when it's crowded, but I can see it may get intimate if there are a lot of people waiting around for tea. It takes a couple of minutes to get your tea because they are making it fresh. It is so worth it! There is a sign on the counter that says they prefer cash, but you can also pay by credit card. I usually buy a large at $5.00 since it's only 75 cents more than the regular size. Definitely check this place out if you are craving some bubble tea, it's great! read more

The Village Tea shop is probably the only place to get good bubble tea in Ridgewood. It also has a very good selection of real tea, and the owner, Eugene knows what he's talking about. He is clearly passionate about his product. He's willing to make customizations, I got slushy bubble tea instead of milky. The shop is on the small side, and they don't have much seating. It's more of a place to just grab your drink and go for a walk. If you like tea, this is the best stop in Ridgewood. read more

Pretty clean shop, but the bubble tea was quite mediocre and the prices a little bit too expensive. The space on the side is very nice to work at, but the drink offerings here are just not very good. The location is near the outer edges of Ridgewood, and a little difficult to find if you are driving through town. The service is acceptable but not exceptional, as it is easy to lose your order, especially when the shop is busy. I tried the lychee and honeydew milk tea when I came here. While the vanilla tasted as bitter as coffee, the honeydew was overly sweet. The mixes that they seem to be using for their milk tea tastes extremely artificial and seems pretty lacking in flavor, essentially just a mix of chemicals. Mainly for the price, this is not worth it. The interior has a nice arrangement of tables, not too cozy but also a little barren. The shop is relatively spacious, so there's always space to work, but after school seems to end, it fills up very quickly with somewhat loud high schoolers who make working in here nearly unbearable. The location is a little bit obscure, off the side of the main streets in Ridgewood, but this seems to be is one of the few tea shops in the area, so if you are really craving bubble tea, you can try it out for yourself. I wouldn't recommend, unless you are really in the mood for some bubble tea. read more

Amazing place, owned by amazing people. I have been coming here for years. The bubble tea is the best I have ever had. Try their lychee fruit tea and their mango fruit tea. It's fresh and yum. They just started catering as well! Needless to say highly highly recommend! Nothing but good things to say!!! read more

We have been ordering online for easy pick up recently. Their tea is so fresh and delicious. Ordering online is really easy and you can customize your drink with the amount of sugar, ice, and add-ons that you prefer. I was really missing my bubble tea places that I used to go to in the city, but not anymore. I'm thrilled that we have a really high quality tea shop in town. read more

Great Teas and Great Service. My only wish is that they were open more hours. Best Fruit and Bubble Tea in Bergen County!

Great tea, friendly atmosphere, and fast wi-fi, in that order of importance. :-)
