50 Best Bubble Tea near Hoboken

“Really nice blend of foam, sugar, and taro—meaning that none was overwhelming but refreshing in a way that’s rare for a flavor this intense. Love the pleasing colors and most importantly, the smooth as cream texture of the slushie drink. Would definitely recommend and I’m planning on getting the matcha flavor next time!“

“One of my favorite spots in Hoboken! Tried the Kung Fu Milk Tea with Oreo and it was absolutely delicious – the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and crunchy. The boba was fresh and chewy, and the Oreo topping added just the right texture. The staff were friendly and quick, and the store has a clean, cozy vibe. Highly recommend if you’re craving quality bubble tea in the area!“

“I ordered the garlic fried pork and the beef with garlic green beans—both were incredible! The pork was tender and packed with flavor, while the beef dish was hearty and comforting. I also tried the strawberry fizzy drink, which was so refreshing with just the right touch of sweetness. The staff were super friendly, the portions generous, and the prices very fair. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend!“

“Best Taro bubble tea in NY & NJ!“

“I love Heytea and this place was great. This time I tried the brown sugar milk boba without the tea since I can’t have caffeine. It was really good. I think the milk was thicker than I expected. I wish I got 25% sugar instead of half but it still tasted good. My friend got the mango coconut boom and she liked it.“

“It’s so nice to have a boba place in the neighborhood. The boba is pretty fresh from what I’ve had, and the fact that the store closes so late is a huge benefit for a night owl like me. Their selection is pretty fruit-heavy. Just be aware that the kitchen closes earlier than the store as a whole.“

“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..“

“This is a hidden gem in the Lower East Side. They make pretty good boba but I want to talk about the interior. The nostalgia in here is amazing. Everything looks like it was personally selected. The the curation of this place is sick. I got the Grapefruit Delight. I was skeptical of trying it because I thought it would be tart but it was actually smooth. No tartness at all. With amount of lychee. Not to discredit how good the boba but this spot is fire to me and I would just chill in here if I could. Whoever did the decor needs a raise lol. Shout out to my guy Kenny great service and hospitality.“

“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!“

“This is one of the best Boba places I ever been too. The lady at the front first greeted me how was your day with the most kindest attitude. May god bless her. Then I got my Boba and it was filled with surprises and it was so yummy. When I left she interested me in a cheesecake. When I got i almost cried because of how good it was. Great place recommended to others.

Kid-friendliness: Said my son was cute“

“I really enjoyed my visit to Rui Tea! I tried the Mango Bobo Coco and it was delicious—refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The staff was also super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“Maple sugar tea packed w gingerm“

“Their dishes never disappoint. Staff responds promptly. Prices match experience. Yumpling combines trendy style with attentive service. The savory dishes we tasted were fantastic, artfully displayed and well-matched. Employees combined outstanding assistance with genuine kindness and giving nature. My return is a certainty.“

“Such a cute and tasty hidden gem . We came for a car wash and I wandered across the street to this magical little spot .
Honestly you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, everything is gonna treat you right but my personal favorite is the A6 .“

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

“It doesn’t get better this Boba is on top local and amazing. Service is amazing. Workers are very kind and I just overall love this place so much. They have a little upstairs area to drink with an amazing view of the street. It’s just a beautiful store and amazing service I would give it 1 million out of 10 if I could“

“It's possible that I was just hot and thirsty, but I swear to god, this was the best eight dollar frozen grapefruit drink I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. i got mine thirty percent sweet and added aloe. is it expensive as all get out? yes. would I go back? also yes.“

“they workers are super sweet!! great costumer service“

“They are genuinely too nice the worker Chaurise Moore is the best she saw has a big ball of energy and she is so fun to be around I could always go to Sakura Japan and get boba over there since it closed to my bus stop but I take my time instead to get this boba cause it is genuinely the best.☺️“

“Bubble tea and their pastries are amazing! I had the matcha cheesecake and it was delicious! Love the staff over there!“

“This was a visit on a whim and boy were we glad we took a chance! A very cute store with delicious bubble tea and unique ice cream. The dessert and drinks looked exactly like the photos advertised. The service was very friendly (with patience and a smile) and quick. We plan to return with the children.“

“Tried the juice bubble tea and fries- fries had a perfect crunch and the juices were a great blend of sweetness and chewiness. However, the spices on the fries felt a bit flat and lacked depth. Overall, a decent snack with bubble tea, but the seasoning could use some improvement. Place is small with a few seats, but i will say the price is perfect“

“I really REALLY liked that Place! The Café was so cute and the staff was so nice i almost fainted! Its Like a Dream come true 🤓🤓🤓 i just wanted a delicious boba 🧋 After the Sushi Restaurant! The boba i got was peach pink Limonade with lichee Gelee and topioca bobas. The Logo,i think, was very cute! They also have Sandwiches noodles and stuff! I would totaly come back here whatever Chance i got! The boba it Self was kinda chewy (or how u spell it) but idk if its good or Bad. But one Word to discribe the boba: delicious !“

“I’ve been coming here for close to a decade and the drinks have always been consistently great, with kind and fast service. I usually make a mad dash here after waiting in the Wah Fung line and the owner is always courteous to let me eat outside food in his store, which he doesn’t have to do. There’s lot of chain options on this block (KFT, Molly a few steps away, etc) but I always come back here because the tea is great (I love the Oolong Peach!) and not corporate-backed. Three sets of tables and chairs to hang with friends and take a reprieve from the heat“

“Ten Ichi Mart is incredible! My mom has been coming for over a year and loves the sushi, especially the popular half off deal after 8pm. The quality speaks for itself. They also have a wide range of Japanese products that are hard to find in other markets. Their matcha is high quality and sourced from Japan. Thank you!! 🙏🏼☺️“

“Saw a review that said they weren't as busy on early Wednesdays, so I went on an early Wednesday and sure enough there was no line. I got a strawberry matcha which tasted really good, but do note that the strawberry is highly concentrated and may overpower the matcha if you prefer a stronger matcha flavor. Still very satisfied and will be back to try more options. Picture of the nearly-finished drink included, with a picture in the dark for reference.“

“Came here on a cold night after my friends wanted to play board games. My friend’s house was super far away but this place was great!

There were lots of selections and we decided to play Catan and exploding kittens. I have not tried a drink but I would next time. Workers were really nice too :)“

“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!)“

“Amazing Drinks To Get And So Many Delicious Food Options. You Can Also Play Arcade Games To Win Prizes.“

“Love coming here for bubble tea! Some of the best I’ve had in lower Manhattan. Service is quick and friendly too. Only a couple of barstools for seating so it’s more of an in-and-out kind of place. Their drinks tend to be on the sweeter end but if you let them know to make it half sweet then they turn out perfect for me.“

“So happy this place opened! Overall friendly service and nice selection of drinks and snacks. The waffles are delicious. My daughter and I usually get the fruit teas. My mom always order their taro bubble tea. Their classic milk tea and brown sugar milk tea are always good. I’m glad they offer oat milk.“

“The other reviews already say everything, of if i could go beyond 5 stars. I had a cold and asked if they had hot tea. The lady offered to make me a hot lemon honey tea which wasnt even on the menu and asked me if i wanted it any sweeter after my first sip. I also ordered a mochi donut and it was the most delightful thing ive ever tried. Im a cheapskate, but those 4.25 were worth every penny. Super nice people and just a calm atmosphere, can only recommend!!!“

“I’ve visited Modern Tea Shop before, and was super happy with my drink (rose milk tea). Today I decided to try it again and go for a different flavor! They have a lot of floral-inspired teas which is unique and a great reason to go. I got the matcha jasmine milk tea (oat milk) with boba (50% sugar), and thought it was 7/10. The oat milk wasn’t as creamy, so it caused the drink to be a bit watery unfortunately. Also, the jasmine flavor was not very pronounced, either due to the way it’s made or the sugar level I chose. Not sure I would get that drink again, but would recommend the rose milk!“

“Good services with big smile 😊 Mr. Buncha bubble tea 💕good drink that we highly recommended 💕“

“I stumbled upon this place after eating a really bad lunch. I needed a pick-me-up drink and this bubble tea turned my afternoon around. The staff were so nice and gave me a great recommendation. I got the mango green tea and it was perfect. I’m very picky about my bubble tea and have tried probably most places in NYC. This was refreshing, not too sweet and had actual fresh mango pieces and not the jarred syrupy stuff. Found my new favorite bubble tea place!!“

“Wanpo Tea Shop is hands-down our favorite boba spot in NYC! Every visit is a delight, with their authentic Taiwanese bubble tea stealing the show. The Wanpo Milk Tea is a perfect balance of rich, aromatic tea and creamy goodness, with chewy boba that’s always just right. We also love the Oolong Milk Tea for its smooth, floral notes. The portions are generous—half the cup is filled with those delightful pearls!

The service is quick and friendly, and the self-ordering kiosk makes the process a breeze. The cozy, traditional vibe adds to the charm, making it a great grab-and-go spot near Washington Square Park. Whether you’re a boba fanatic or a first-timer, Wanpo’s quality and authenticity make it a must-visit. We keep coming back for more!“

“From the customer service, to the flavor of the drinks, to the speed of the time that they make my drinks, this place has truly exceeded my expectations. I love this place so much and every time I come, I never come out unsatisfied, ya’ll have to try this out!!!“

“Delicious bubble tea and very friendly service 🤗“

“Somehow one of the only bubble tea places around in dumbo which blew my mind. Nice place with a fun menu besides a classic bubble tea

How can you serve $6.50 bubble tea in ice coffee containers in NYC though? Moving the straw / cup to get some boba without thinking and im getting dripped on left and right“

“Hidden gem you must try! I had the most delicious Matcha Taro bubble tea. Fresh ingredients, no processed or added sugar. Owner was kind and super friendly. 10/10 would recommend. Their tacos made with a soft sweet plantain look amazing, will try next time I go back.“

“I got to know about this brand of pearl milk tea from the sharing of Taiwan YouTubers, I never thought I could enjoy it in New York. A Taiwanese friend of mine told me that she is a bubble tea lover. After trying it, I fell in love with it. 😍“

“the bubble tea is amazing and they are really nice.“

“I got the Pisces drink (mango/lychee/jasmine green tea) 70% sweet and less ice. It was perfectly sweet without being overly sweet or watery. The strawberry heart jelly was unique so I couldn’t help but try it!! I was told that the brown sugar milk tea was good as well and the prices are very reasonable considering the size (they only have one size, the drinks are about $5.50 but it might depend what you get) I’ll definitely come back again to try their other drinks, food, and desserts. They sell ice cream and mochi donuts too! They have a kiosk where you can order from and indoor seating. The service is fast.“

“I love this location! And Gian is the absolute best, speedy service and always brings the good vibes. With all these expensive restaurants opening up in the neighborhood, it's nice to have a reliable and affordable lunch option. Plus the ingredients are always on point, good selection and always fresh.“

“Love this spot! Bobba Huba has a super creamy milk chocolate boba tea and an amazing chocolate chunk cookie—both hit the spot. There’s also a claw machine for some fun while waiting, and the place works as an internet cafe if you want to hang out or get work done. Bonus: they give out a loyalty card and after buying 8 drinks, the 9th one is free. Friendly staff and a chill vibe make it a go-to for a sweet treat and a little break in the city.“

“The BEST bubble tea!!! Love love love!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

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

“I love this tea shop! As soon as you walk in, the store is filled with a wonderful tea aroma. You can really tell they put care into the tea-making process. the taste is delicate and perfectly balanced. There’s usually a long line on weekends, so I recommend visiting on weekdays when it’s not as crowded. Definitely one of my favorite tea spots in Chinatown, Manhattan!“

“Bubble tea and their pastries are amazing! I had the matcha cheesecake and it was delicious! Love the staff over there!“
