50 Best Bubble Tea near East Rutherford

“I super looovvvveee the ramen here, feels like home. Not expensive but the best I wver had here in US. I miss my food in my country and i tried so many ramen near me but this one suits my taste. Very balanced and the broth are really perfect. TAKOYAKI is so goooood too. Very worth it to try. I love Tonkatsu Ramen. And my family tired miso and veggies and they are good too. The Cheesefoam milk tea (brown sugar and matcha) they are good too. Not too sweet. Perfect! Thank you, Sir Andy!!! He is so kind too.“

“Excellent drinks, everything is top notch, minimal wait time, helpful staff, they gave me all the tips and advice, great work, excellent franchise branch,BUT I ASKED FOR IT WITHOUT SUGAR, BUT THEY MADE IT WITH SUGAR. When you order, please confirm 2-3 times!“

“Tried three drinks here and overall it was a really solid experience. The milk teas were smooth and creamy. The boba had a nice chewy texture so it felt fresh.
The yogurt tea in the middle was refreshing and light, perfect if you don’t want something too heavy. You can taste the yogurt instead of just sugar, which is a big plus.
Packaging was cute and clean, and the drinks looked just as good as they tasted. Portion size felt fair for the price. Overall, a great spot to hang out with friends and try different flavors. Would definitely come back to explore more options.“

“Absolutely love this place and their service. When I went in, my order was immediately taken (I had never been here before). However, a lovely girl named Darlene, I believe, helped me out and suggested a drink. I absolutely loved the drink and would come here again if I could.“

“Absolutely delicious dumplings. Great variety. Excellent prices. (They even have frozen dumplings to take home and cook.) Super casual- a few shared tables and people rotate through quickly.“

“Delicious dumplings. They're so good. Also, I recommend the garlicky cucumbers for a light & tasty appetizer. Very clean, cozy, polite staff. 5 stars for sure.“

“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“

“Wow! I stumbled on this place but I didn’t expect to be so good. I love bubble tea and this has to be one of the best I’ve ever had. It caters to those who like the taste of rich teas and less to people who like shops that use powders.“

“First, the owners that run this place are so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I ordered a noodle bowl with marinated tofu and veggies, it was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back soon, I got my eye on them baos..“

“4.5 stars.

The dreamy smell of freshly brew tea tells me immediately that I am at the right place for authentic boba drinks! With countless add-on opts or accept the drinks as is, any customization can enhance your drink concoction.

Always top notch quality beverages and speedy service, despite having 8+ orders ahead of me when I visit during the lunch time rush hrs.

There is always room for improvements for this location-

1. Staff can be welcoming and friendly.

2. I understand there are a lot of orders, this is a busy location. However, my drink tends to have some overspills and I somehow find myself requesting napkins to clean my hands during my last 2 visits. Staff can def spend a bit more time cleaning off any mess on cups before placing on counter for pick up. The final touches really make a difference.

3. Lastly, there is absolutely no place to sit, even their small waiting area had a crowd of people. There can easily be 3 sets of outdoor tables and chairs set in front of the business. Fortunately, the city offers some public seating across the street.“

“great little spot for refreshing drinks and bites! i love that they’re also open late, for all the night owls and partygoers. they serve food after 5pm and we came for the drinks but stayed for the food. we tried a slushy and yakult and you can try one of their combos or make it yourself. for bites we tried the spicy peanut butter noodles (loved the sauce), salt and pepper fried chicken, sesame chicken with broccoli, and curry fries. the space is small and seats are limited so be prepared when coming to dine in.“

“Great food, drinks and service.“

“Best Taro bubble tea in NY & NJ!“

“I was in the fifth Avenue and bumped into this Boba tea/coffee shop.. it was morning and I wanted to have a fresh coffee. Went through the menu and wanted to try the tiramisu latte… great location very close to Empire State and other things.. The interiors was actually very good… it was huge and there were a few tables to sit and drink.. service was also good..

Pricing was OK.. was about 8 to 9 dollars for a latte, including tips.. slightly higher than regular coffee shops, but good for once in a while, flavored coffee.. tiramisu latte was actually very good.. He did put some small quantity of rum on it and it tasted so good… also tried taro boba and it was good . Looks like a Taiwan based coffee shop… it was surely different and refreshing.. good experience.. 4 stars ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“

“I loved the service it was so clean they are so creative and the boba is so good it is delicious“

“Kung Fu Tea is an amazing restaurant that I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. I ordered the Oreo Wow with syrup and Mangonada and they certainly live up to their name. It came out quickly and was of fantastic taste. Donny is very polite and kind, and she was also helpful in giving delicious recommendations. The atmosphere was very welcoming and immersive as well. It was a 10/10 experience.“

“We were first timer’s today… the girl that help us was so sweet and kind! The service was excellent! My son loved the brown sugar milk with bubbles!“

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.“

“Muy delicioso 😋 me encantaría que esté en mi país Ecuador“

“Lovely business and stellar service! This was our first time visiting and when we asked for the sweetness of my brother’s bubble tea to be adjusted, they made him a new one at no charge! We had also placed a takeout order, but then decided to dine in, and the staff so kindly offered to plate our food for us. The food was also very good, priced well, and was a large portion size. I would highly recommend! 😊“

“This place is exceptional. A while back, I tried their mango sago, and I can easily say that it is one of the best drinks that I have ever had!! Along with the amazing quality of the drinks, the staff is also extremely friendly and accommodating! The environment is comforting, so I will definitely be coming back again.“

“Maple sugar tea packed w gingerm“

“Have been coming here pretty frequently the past couple of years and the bubble tea is the best in the area. The owners are extremely kind people and make you feel like you are valued as a customer. Tried Banh Mi here for the first time and it surpassed my expectations.“

“Have a chat with Santa he is a treat ! 🥰“

“Great shop It’s the best drinks around The owners are awesome !! Go back for more and more“

“This place reminds me of the boba shops I went to in the 2000s and 2010s in California. Perfect for scratching that nostalgic itch. The prices are great, the drinks and snacks taste great, and the service is phenomenal. I feel welcomed here and it’s a nice, peaceful location to take a break from the crowded, busy city outside.“

“The bubble tea here was amazing, and the atmosphere was absolutely wonderful! Ethan, Leo, and Ben provided incredible service and helped create such a welcoming and enjoyable experience. The drinks were delicious, perfectly priced, and I truly enjoyed every sip. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“A charming family-owned neighborhood spot.

I’ve passed Sunshine Ice so many times and always wondered about it. Every time I walked by, it seemed pretty quiet, but I finally decided to stop in and I’m glad I did.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this is actually a Vietnamese spot, and I’m definitely coming back to try some of their signature dishes.

For this visit, I was craving breakfast, so I ordered the French toast with strawberry and banana along with a 16 oz. green apple sparkling drink. The green apple sparkling drink was amazing! The French toast was also good and hit the spot.

What really made the experience special was the family atmosphere. A little girl served me, which I thought was adorable. I noticed what appeared to be her mom doing the cooking, her grandmother sitting nearby, and eventually what I assume was her father came in and was watering the plants. It really gave me the feeling that this is a family-run neighborhood business, which I found very endearing.

The restaurant was quiet during my visit, with only a couple of other customers coming in while I was there. Considering they’ve been around for years, they’re clearly doing something right.

One thing to know: there is a 1.5-hour dining limit, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning to sit for a long time.

My total for dining in was $18.92, which I thought was reasonable.

I haven’t actually tried their signature Vietnamese dishes or their namesake Sunshine Ice yet, so I’ll definitely be back for those.“

“The Fresh Fruits Coconut water is absolutely delicious 😋 & the dragon drink“

“Had their Jasmine Green Grape and it was okay. More of tea taste with some green grapes but refreshing enough for a hot summer day. They did have some other interesting selections on their menu like the Mangosteen Iced Tea that I wouldn't mind trying one day.“

“Reviewed mainly for Bubble Tea :
- Flavor: Fair selection available. I get Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea. The tea has nice hints of bitterness. Texture-wise, more like a tea diluted with milk than the creaminess of an incorporated milk tea.
- Boba: Lower amount of Boba. Although the Boba has nice elasticity, they're too small so you can usually only chew once.
- Price: An average bubble tea (7$ overall, 2026) compared to what I consider the average price (7-8$)
- Overall - it takes the average up a notch for an overall nice bubble tea but doesn't have the kind of pull that would make me go out of my way to get one.

- Extra - They also serve ice cream and have an extended store area which would be fine for quick hangouts.“

“Always look forward to the brandy milk tea in the winter, interesting new flavors every so often, and the cute giveaways!“

“Drink is delicious! Staff really helpful, love this place. My fav milk teA brand! Brown sugar boba milk tea is must try!!!!“

“I always have a great experience at Gong Cha, and Yash is a big reason why. He’s friendly, patient, and consistently makes my drinks really well. Somehow, he always gets the balance just right — the tea flavor, sweetness, milk, and toppings all come together in the perfect ratio. I’ve ordered different drinks here, and whenever Yash makes them, they always taste especially good and consistent. You can tell he actually pays attention to what he’s doing instead of just rushing through the order. Definitely one of the best people here, and I always feel confident that my drink is going to turn out great when he’s making it.“

“Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy! Tons of folks were coming in and out for a spot I almost walked past! Extensive menu with plenty of fruit slush options (no milk), smoothies (with milk), bowls, or boba. I'd prob rec not getting the boba, since nyc is blessed with boba-specific spots lol

I just finished a workout, so I opted for their large Powerful Chia ($11), which had banana, mango, pineapple, and chia seed. I got almond milk, since they didn't have oat milk at the time. Price point was relative on par with other chains. You can add Orgain organic protein for +$1.

All ingredients are blended right in front of you, which is always great to see. Overall, would return to a Hawa!“

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

“One of my friends told me about this place, and it’s a great spot to go after school. The yuzu ponzu salmon bowl was delicious and flavorful, and there are so many great options to add. The girl up front, Ayumi, was very sweet—she greeted me and explained the menu options. I would absolutely come back. 10/10 would recommend!“

“It is so hard to find good coffee shops in Hell's Kitchen and this is perfect hidden gem. I've passed by this place a few times not thinking much of it and finally tried the brown sugar latte. Wow. Incredible. I'm super excited to come back and try other flavors. Staff/owners were so sweet, great vibe, and outdoor chairs made for it to be a great place for a break. (They have a great variety of different drinks)“

“The drinks are really good and well made. I usually get the mango milk tea with cheese foam and mango popping bubbles, and it’s so good!! Their brown sugar milk tea is also really good, probably one of the best I’ve had so far. And their cups are always so pretty with cute designs. Would definitely recommend!“

“Amazing experience at Hawa Smoothies and Bubble Tea! The place is very clean, the staff are friendly and respectful, and the smoothies are fresh and incredibly delicious. One of the best juice spots in the area. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be coming back again!” 😍😍😍😍😍🤍“

“Moge Tee is a bubble tea joint.

The bubble teas are made to order.

The ingredients are fresh and the taste is pleasantly refreshing.

The staff is quute friendly and polite, they offered their services with a smile. From the moment I walked in to when I left with my orders, I was warmly embraced by the vide I got from the staff. They genuinely applied themselves, and the results was great.

The saying goes, something made with love comes something loved? I loved the teas. And the staff is definitely part of the ingredients.“

“We stopped by on a weekday around 8:30 PM and it was pretty empty, which was actually nice. They’re open pretty late, which is a big plus for Hoboken when you want bubble tea in the evening.

The service was great, and there’s a nice seating area if you want to stay for a bit. They have some food and snacks on the menu too including chicken and waffles.

The bubble tea selection is pretty good. They have some more unique/custom drinks, but also all the classics. I got the brown sugar bubble tea, and it was really, really good. Definitely sweet, but that’s exactly what I expect from brown sugar bubble tea We also tried the grape bubble tea with cheese/cream, which was very different but good as well.

The drinks are HUGE. Honestly, it feels like half drink, half meal 😂 Price-wise it’s pretty average for bubble tea around here around $8–9 per drink, depending on what you order and any extra toppings or jelly you add.

Overall, really good experience. Great service and a nice spot for a late-evening bubble tea.“

“The chicken is really well fried, crispy on the outside and not dry on the inside, exactly what they say they will serve!! The sauces are also very tasty, I tried the spicy one and the blue cheese one both taste great ! Quick service as well, definitely give them a chance if you are craving fried chicken !“

“I love this place!! The environment is so cozy and the staff make the place all the more inviting and welcoming. They are incredibly friendly, every time I’ve ordered here their drinks never disappoint. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Chelsea Market 😆, seriously a hidden gem 👀“

“So delicious the treats are truly unique and the drinks are so good as well“

“Love this little snack shop designed like a food truck inside. The dogs are solid.. The pickles and relish is from next door from the pickle guys.

Eddie the owner and his family run the spot and heavily involved in the community.

He had me try three dogs.

PICKLE GUYS BOMB
Home made sauerkraut, home mustard, home made relish, pickled red onions, sweet bread .

SPICY DOG
Hot pepper relish from pickle guys
Pickled jalapeño from pickle guys

CHINATOWN DOG
Pickled daikon and sweet relish

All were solid, the spicy dog was too spicy for me but if your into heat give it a go.

They also have a variety of teas and other Asian snacks“

“We had a very nice time at this restaurant. It is small, cozy, and very conveniently located. We went on a Thursday evening and it wasn't crowded as most people order delivery from this place. Once we placed our orders, the food came out pretty fast and it was piping hot and very delicious. The Green Curry is a must and also loved the Milk Tea with Boba. Definitely recommend this spot for some great Thai food.“

“masarap yung chicken nila, and mag eenjoy talaga sa mga claw machine“

He made me feel comfortable and valued as a customer, and his positive attitude really stood out to me. Tank was patient and attentive, taking the time to listen to my questions and make sure I had everything I needed.
