We got 2 drinks and waited but it was until 10 minutes in we found out it was 1 curly haired guy doing all the work and the other 2 girls were just chilling doing nothing. I don't know if the 2 girls didn't work there or not but if you are behind the counter then do something or don't be by the work area. This sucks cus this place is usually consistent.

We stumbled upon this place randomly while we were leaving the Marshall's plaza. There are a lot of…read moreoptions and some of them pretty unusual. I really like that they had 3 boba options: Brown sugar, Strawberry, and Honey. On their website there seems to be even more but they weren't advertised so maybe they weren't available at the time. The other boba listed on their website are Taro, Black Sesame, Mango, Chrysanthemum, and OneZo Triple. What we ordered: - Passion Fruit Green Tea with Strawberry Boba - Taro Sesame Milk Tea I am a big fan of the strawberry boba and both drinks were pretty good. I would definitely return to try out other things. I noticed that they also have ice cream as well There is a parking lot but it shares it with the other businesses and the apartment complex so it was limited. We snuck in a spot for "future residents". Not sure how much it is monitored but we were fine even though our drinks took a particularly long time. I think there might have been some issues with the order before us. They did apologize for the delay.

As I searched for a bubble tea shop in the area, I found this shop. I thought oh that must be new…read moresince I know that area and have never seen it before. To my surprise this shop is actually in an apartment complex. That's probably why it's a little out of the way and parking can be a concern as it's a private area. The spots near the shop all have signs on them so I am not sure if I was allowed to park there. By the register, I asked if it was okay to park there and they seemed unsure as well but said it should be fine to park and leave within the hour. It may designed in a way where you live in the complex and can just stop in without leaving the property which I have seen for a couple of these newer apartment buildings. The shop itself is fine, clean, small amount of seating. I think this may be the type of shop where I just pick up or get delivery from instead of bringing a big group to hang out for some bubble tea. I had ordered a Sesame milk tea. It was essentially a milk tea but sesame seeds were blended through it. It was gritty kinda like how red bean bobas are but not like sweet bean paste. It had that sesame seeds taste that you get from burger buns with sesame seeds on them. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but I can't say that's what it was. Maybe others like that as it's probably healthier than tapioca balls but I just was not into it. This shop online, prided itself on making their tapioca balls in house. I didn't get them cause I just wanted to try the shop and the balls were all $2+ add ons for whatever drinks I looked at. I didn't dislike coming here but I think if I come back I would order something else, probably something more flavorful

PSA the best kept dessert secret in Woodbridge, New Jersey is Yo Delight!…read more While they are known for their frozen yogurt, they also make the most delicious and mouthwatering dessert your taste buds will ever try! The s'mores crêpe was ooey, gooey, and so chocolatey. Basically campfire heaven wrapped in a crepe. The Dubai chocolate waffle was a masterpiece I wish I could have for breakfast at home. Dripped in pistachio sauce and Nutella, one bite of this waffle will send you to paradise. The lava cake was warm rich and delectable. Paired with vanilla ice cream, the two make a dynamic dessert duo. They even have delicious drink options here. We got the brown sugar Boba tea which had had chewy pearls, silky milk, and rich brown sugar syrup. Perfect way to satisfy my sweet tooth on the go. And the Strawberry Matcha iced latte was the drink I didn't know I needed. It was vibrant, refreshing and the prettiest iced latte in the game. Yo Delight is there to also meet your fro-yo and ice cream needs which you can enjoy year round. I highly recommend having some dessert here, especially in the fall and winter months. The store has plenty of seating and lots of fun activities like board games, coloring sheets for kids, and even iPads to keep you entertained on a cold day. Very friendly staff and they did such a great job making the desserts look amazing!

This is an updated review of I Love Bubbletea! I came here a number of times and noticed some…read moreconsistent things that I thought I should mention. Food: I came here multiple times since my first review and noticed that my boyfriend's and my order are frequently incorrect. It does depend on who is working however. To be fair, once we address the issue, it does get remade in a very polite manner, which is why I keep coming back. Many places will charge you again, even if its not your fault and will give you attitude, this place doesn't however. The bubble tea, especially the green tea, is almost always on point. Price: This place is a bit expensive, especially with the macaroons and sweets. The bubbletea itself is reasonably priced. Seating & Overall Setting: There is only table inside for three people to sit. This isn't a place to sit down and drink your tea. To be fair, the store isn't big enough for multiple parties to be inside anyway. The inside decor is unusual but neat and clean. Service: The service is great. On service alone it is 5/5. Overall: I always stop by when I'm at the mall and get bubble tea. I recommend this store to anyone wanted to try out bubble tea.

Pricing is a little high but not bad for a mall. It's a very refreshing drink especially for the summer! It's located near the kid amusement area with the carousel, train, trampoline and ride on animals and bikes, so it's a nice spot to bring your children after having some fun.

This Gong Cha location in Edison, NJ is gargantuan with abundant tables and chairs! It is a clean, well light relaxing atmosphere. I can imagine the table hibernation occupied by patrons lingering for hours as I would with journaling and poetry separately. The atmosphere is decorated with Japanese animation sketches of characters throughout this traditional brick and mortar store. The drink lid also contain animation sketches. As a Asian American woman, I do not have a iota for taken an interest in Asian animation sketches and never did. However, I have a strong predilection for traditional fictional cartoon characters as Hello Kitty, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, or Paddington Bear. This Edison, NJ Gong Cha contains a free parking lot that is shared among neighboring business of a shopping complex 863 Logan Plaza. There are two large Japanese beckoning cats maneki-neko 招き猫 at the register which are adorable and beautiful. Customer service is prompt and efficient because I was the sole customer at that moment.

Peach green tea, medium $6.50 I requested Oolong tea, but the cashier inadvertently inputted my order in the register as green tea. However, my sales receipt attained stated "Notes: oolong."

I desired this drink to be cold and no milk which my requests were fulfilled and satisfied. The tea was standard but good quality. I have a predilection for Oolong and green tea - particularly Matcha green tea. The ice, as usual, entirely melted and my drink became room temperature - this time during my long-haul car ride returning to NYC. The grass jelly is average, somewhat served chilled and paucity for minimal quantity but a nice delight. I strongly believe there is a price discrimination for preferential treatment as New Jersey is significantly lowered price than its neighbor state New York. For $6.50 medium drink it is very reasonable price by the economic standards of stagflation 2026 era. If I live within distance from Edison, New Jersey and have driving skills enabling car ownership I would surely make the occasional trek to this Edison, NJ bubble tea business.

There are few tables and chairs for dine in option, but most seem to order to go. Facilities are clean, fairly quiet, and plenty of parking.

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!

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.

Then also you see a few customers who were already waiting for their placed drink orders! Also, the customers were not even patrons of the supermarket, so that also goes to show that people are just coming in straight for their bubble tea fix! Situated inside LOTTE (another reviewer wrote HMART..so: correction there), by the inner food court area, this is a cute little spot. That is the reason for this review actually. The food court is also convenient as there are other food options but having a bubble tea place as an addition is a huge plus! This Gong Cha store looks very tidy, and well-managed. The workers were friendly and can provide recommendations. While waiting for the orders, you can notice the employees are busy making all their necessary preparations and everyone seemed exceptional. The drinks were made fresh and also did not realize that they also have freshly brewed coffee - what an amazing selection. In addition to several drinks, also ordered a viet coffee. Normally, bubble tea stores do not have fresh coffee (usually it's instant because that is not their main product.) So for them to have that as a choice, and to be made fresh - that is a true win-win situation! So the menu choices were a bit long, and requires really focusing into each category to get a sense of what's available. The icon that shows a mini coffee bean next to each drink represents caffeinated vs non-caffeinated. Also, if you are unsure, it is best to ask the employees for further suggestions and ingredients, in case of anything you may not prefer. (Had no idea about the winter melon choice, wow!) The wide array of selections is really super amazing; with so many variations that can be added! The takeaway with this review is the opportunity to be at a supermarket and while you're doing your shopping, there is this awesome bubble tea store that anyone can just stop by for a quick drink! Parking is really convenient, and the nearby restrooms were also very clean. Kudos and congrats to management for making this work on all levels. Food court go-ers can enjoy, supermarket customers will drop by, and the list can go on. Support your local businesses!
