25 Best Bubble Tea near Chatham

“This is a brand new, recently opened restaurant and wow did they deliver for first impressions. Food was absolutely incredible. The sushi was fresh and made quickly. I had the volcano roll and the Naruto rainbow row, it was beautiful and delicious. Very good quality cuts and tasted fresh Really impressed by their milk tea as well. We got the original and Taro milk tea and it was fantastic. Staff was also very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. Would definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town!“

“Great store, products and customer service. Who could ask for anything more?“

“BEST BUBBLE TEA EVER!!! I found this place randomly while walking around NY. now it's my favorite place to grab bubble tea and cheese curds. highly recommended.“

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.“

“We live about 90 minutes away in PA, but we make frequent trips to NJ and this is ALWAYS the first place we stop! Not only are the bakery items amazing (my son LOVES the scallion bread and the Nutella bread is my fave!) the Bubbletea drinks are delicious as always. Oh! The ice cream! Try the taro..you’re welcome! What makes it even more amazing is the friendliness of the owner and workers. Shanshan has been instrumental in helping me understand the process of Bubbletea making, offering suggestions and ideas and always answering my many questions. She is super friendly, often times giving us a sample of her new creations. My son and I were back again yesterday and met Larry (I’m pretty sure that was his name? I hope I’m correct!). He was so friendly and helpful and explained what some of the newer items were, which, of course ended up in my take home bag of goodies (good salesman!) It’s a place that when you visit, you know you WILL be greeted with a smile and openness. Thank you for making a couple of Pennsylvanians feel welcome in your neck of the woods.“

“So good!!!!!!!!! Must try! My favorite place in town!“

“Great spot for Bobba tea. It was simply delicious. What I liked even more was that it was a 90-degree day, and the ice lasted in my drink, unlike other spots where it melts quickly. The poke bowl (I got the medium), I was truly amazed at the portion size. It's definitely worth the money considering. Good place to try out if you're in the area.“

“My Name is Brian P as i feel im very well known 😆. I have been doing business with real fruit bubble tea for over 2 years faithful! Shoutout to Phil as I see him everywhere i go. Thank u SUE and team from the mighty Short hills team for always showing love. Sometimes this stop gets busy but love the interaction that is given to allow people like myself to continue to come back not for just the bubble tea but because of the friendly great atmosphere. Sky the rocket for 2025 😊 THANK YOU“

“This is one amazing bubble tea place in Rahway and it is right in front of the train station. They have unique milk teas like the Hokkaido and Okinawa milk tea which give me the chance to try new flavors. They have a cozy sit out area.
This is a female led business and the owner Ginelle is very welcoming and kind.

They are also offering a free ice cream scoop this summer!!“

“Been here many times now.

PROS:
1. Kim and her husband Mr. Fu run the place and are great. My son dropped one of the sauces all over the floor, and they cleaned it up for him with a smile.
2. SO many topping options to choose from - and you can put in as many as you want. So the poke bowl portions are very generous.
3. The ambiance is cozy and open. We've eaten here with family and friends on more than one occassion.

CONS:
1. Their sushi burrito isn't as big as, let's say, a Chipotle burrito. So don't be expecting that. We stick with the build your own poke bowls and always enjoy it.

We'll see you guys for dinner tonight!“

“Great bonding with fam while enjoying our bubble tea!“

“the S1 and S9 is what I decided to try and both were tasty. if I had to pick one over the other.....S9 would be it! it was tasty and the bread is on point for these sammiches!!!!“

“If you’re visiting Gong Cha in Union, NJ, ask for Lance the barista—your taste buds (and mood) will thank you! Lance is an absolute gem, blending skill, warmth, and professionalism into every drink he crafts. From the moment I walked in, his friendly demeanor and attention to detail made the experience unforgettable.

He took the time to recommend the perfect drink based on my preferences, and his passion for quality shines through in every sip. My go-to order (a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba) was flawlessly balanced—creamy, not too sweet, and loaded with that signature Gong Cha freshness. Plus, he remembered my name and order on my second visit—a small touch that speaks volumes about his dedication to customer service.

The atmosphere at this location is already great, but Lance elevates it with his positive energy. Whether you’re a bubble tea newbie or a longtime fan, trust Lance to make your visit exceptional. Highly recommend stopping by—this kind of hospitality keeps me coming back!

**Pro tip**: Try his seasonal recommendations; you won’t regret it! 👏🧋“

“Ordered for the first time since learning they moved & opened their doors in Morris Plains! They were our FAVORITE restaurant in Cedar Knolls! I’m SO happy to have them ‘back’ (a bit further of a drive, but so worth it!!) Everything was just as delicious as I remembered it being! We’ll be back SOON!!“

“Found this by accident! Love it good tea“

“I ordered takeout today and it was fabulous! For some reason I thought that the menu was just dumplings and never looked further but it is so much more! The quality and completeness of my order was refreshing. I got the Bao Entree Deluxe (with no green peppers), the Pepper Steak for my green pepper loving friend, and the Bao Sampler platter (came with 2 dipping sauces). I also got 10% off the next order :). I also did not feel hungry 2 hours later which seems to always happen to me with chinese food and I don't get it often. I will definitely be back to order agian very soon!“

“Cute shop! Good tea! We went in for Taro but they were out. The server recommended a lovely creme brûlée milk tea that was out of this world delicious and might be a new favorite she even recommended less sugar because it was already sweet and honestly she made the experience so great. We loved our drink and her recommendation. We’ll be back for sure!“

“I’m glad my daughter found this place, now I’m addicted to bubble drinks!! And the bubble waffle is awesome!!!!“

“Very good coffee and pastries! Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Hot and cold drink are great and not all sugar etc. Tried the pandan, lavender and caramel and spinach feta pastry all delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have coconut milk and not all cafes have that choice!“

“Le Poke Bowl Chili avec supplément cacahuètes“

“I can't say enough about A&J! The flavors are so intricate and comforting and also consistent year after year. I love that you're automatically greeted with a fresh pot of tea and you can order anything to your desired spice level. Everything I've had there is delicious but the fried rice, soup dumplings, noodles and various soups are amazing. If you're looking for a great Taiwanese restaurant frequented by Taiwanese people, this is it!“

“I’ve got to say, the best FroYo place around. They have so many flavor options, and so many toppings. Their boba is pretty good. It’s your average boba. I have never tried one of their smoothies, or rolled ice cream. It’s such a popular place with the kids, and it’s also walking distance from the green! I highly recommend.“

“Wanted to the Scoop Station owner, Jen, for helping us out with discounted gift cards as part of the giveaway for the Morris Plains 8th graders at the end of their dance last night!! It was so kind!“

“I get poke here after all my afternoon hikes and it’s definitely one of the best in NJ. Ingredients taste fresh and the portions are fair and filling. Theres so many different combinations. You get up to 2 protein, 5 topping, 3 crunchy toppings, and 2 sauce. Everying else is a bit extra. Really yummy and I’ll continue to eat here“

“Everything about this location was great, we had a dozen variety mochi donuts, all Devine, with some cheese dogs. Service was quick and food was delicious as usual .

Dietary restrictions: Dairy is definitely in all the food.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly environment.“
