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!

While exploring in Metuchen, I came across this dessert/bubble tea spot, and of course, I had to…read moretry it out. The inside was very different from your usual bubble tea spot, and it was very welcoming and cozy. I could definitely see myself just chilling and reading a book while enjoying my food and drink. I placed my order through the kiosk while looking over the menu, which had a lot of good options. I couldn't make up my mind and decided to go with the bubble tea and Oreo waffle crepe. Both items were good, and I enjoyed the waffle, which had ice cream as the filling and was stuffed with fillings, but it was a little difficult to eat since the wrapper is not very practical, and I had to use my hands, so it got a bit messy. Did I regret it? No way, I loved it; hopefully, they would just have a better container for it, lol. Definitely will get a sugar rush, so be careful hahaha. I would definitely go back to try the other flavors

There were quite a flock of customers including us even late at night. The store was clean and was serviced by a young Sardar boy and he handled the army of crowd quite well, all by himself. We ordered a cup of cotton candy, biscoff rolled ice cream and a glass of rose and rabidi Falooda. The only reason I rate this place a star less is for the the semiya/vermicelli that wasn't sweet and kind of making the falooda tasting experience little bland. But overall this place was a great find for us. Parking at Oak Tree center is abundant and will never be a question of parking unavailability.

You wouldn't think that from a vegan place but it's true !! It's the kind of spot where you can feel good about what you're eating without sacrificing any taste. One of our favorites has to be the caramel apple pie, it's served warm, perfectly sweet, and it's absolutely delicious . Honestly, it might be our favorite dessert ever! We also visited for Valentine's Day, and they had chocolate covered strawberries, which were just divine. It was such a thoughtful touch that made the occasion feel extra special. If you haven't been yet, don't sleep on this place. Whether you're vegan or just looking for amazing, fresh dessert, this spot is a must try.

Definitely an intense sweet tooth craving and I finished it over the course of a couple days and a fun treat that's local to stop by.

It's located on the 1st floor of the mall, near Macy's and Rain Forest Cafe. It's a small store front. You place your order and yes, there's pictures so you kinda know what the final order may look like before you place your order. An order cost $7.99 but you do get about 8 rolls of ice cream and unlimited toppings and the portion size can be shared for two. Note: I said it can be shared but not that anyone would want to after one bite. The cool part is you get to see them make your roll and how the ice cream went from liquid form to actually frozen ice cream roll. The staff is also very nice! They ask you what toppings you'd like and yes, you can take your time to decide. They don't rush you and they don't judge you either, haha. It seems to be a very popular place. I came on a Friday evening and was the third and I thought last customer ordering on the line. I ordered and paid and before I know literally a bus stop came by. There's about 20 people making a line afterwards. The wait was a bit long because there were many orders to make. There's only two staff and one of them was ringing up orders at the cashiers. I hope they have more employees for the weekend and summertime. This place can be a really big hit for mall goers. I will definitely come back to try other flavors ice cream roll and toppings!

The place definitely looks good and has a vibe to it. However, everything felt a bit overpriced for me. We went for brunch, and the first thing presented to us was a buffet-style option. I actually had to ask questions just to find out there was a regular brunch menu available. The drinks were honestly a bit absurd, ranging from $17 to $28. On top of that, the music was so loud that we could barely hear our waitress, which took away from the experience. The food itself was good, but nothing really stood out as amazing. Everything was just... good. I also mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday, but somehow everyone around us received a big birthday celebration, while we didn't. When I ordered dessert, I even had to ask for a candle because it wasn't offered, which was a little disappointing considering what we saw happening at other tables.I originally found this place on TikTok and wanted to see if the vibe matched what I saw online, but honestly, it didn't hit the same for me.
