50 Best Bubble Tea near Hoboken

“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.“

“Food are surprisingly not bad. Ordered a poke bowl and Mrs D fried chicken. The fried chicken was juicy, and skin was crunchy and crispy though it is more of a dried spice type of chicken. There is a bench with 4 tiny tables for dine-up and 2 bathroom. Will definitely order again.“

“I absolutely love Purple Rice! The food here is consistently delicious and always worth it. Even though I live in Midtown Hoboken, I find myself stopping by often just to eat here. Everything I’ve tried has been so satisfying. The staff is also very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and great service—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Soothr LIC delivered an exceptional dining experience for our 8th wedding anniversary. The vibrant atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between high-energy and intimate, making it a stellar spot to mark a special occasion.
Our server, Jelly, was incredible from start to finish—attentive, warm, and seamless with her recommendations, ensuring the evening felt like a true celebration.
The Meal
* Mop Dang Puff: A fantastic start to the meal. The pastry was impossibly flaky, packed with rich, deeply seasoned filling that set a high bar for the rest of the night.
* Had Yai Chicken: Perfectly executed. The fried chicken achieved that crisp outer crunch while remaining tender and juicy inside, highlighted by fried shallots and authentic southern Thai spices.
* Crab Fried Rice: Generous portions of sweet lump crab meat folded into fragrant, perfectly separated rice. It had that distinct wok hei (breath of the wok) flavor that elevates simple fried rice into a standout dish.
* Panang Duck Lychee: The highlight of the night. The rich, creamy Panang curry sauce had just the right amount of heat, beautifully offset by the juicy sweetness of the lychee. The duck was rich and tender with crispy skin, binding all the sweet and savory flavors together.
Soothr LIC brought the heat, flavor, and top-notch hospitality for our milestone night. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate eight years!“

“The best slushies in Brooklyn. I highly recommend the watermelon and the melon flavored slushies. I really appreciate they give you the option to choose the amount of sugar in the drinks. I definitely recommend Oops for a cool drink on these hot summer days.“

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

“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..“

“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.“

“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.“

“This spot is a go-to spot for me. Love the products and the sushi is great here for everything Japanese. There’s 50% off sushi after 8pm deal is genuinely so amazing for dinners. Can’t find it anywhere else that I’ve been too. Service is a 10/10 too.“

“Amazing drinks and service. They offered to remake my drink because I got 25% sugar and it was a little too sour for me (hand punch lemon tea). And they added more sugar for me and it was yummy and refreshing! It was my fault i didn’t choose the right sugar level for my taste but they still treated me warmly. thank u !! Also, i tried the mango bingsu and it was 10/10. I highly recommend this place if you are thirsty or looking for a place to chill.“

“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!“

“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 ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place is great and has amazing prices. Ever since I moved to Ridgewood from Arkansas it’s been really hard to find things that are good at a good price. The workers are also so friendly, welcoming, amazing, nice, and also handsome. The gentleman that served me, I recall his name being Nathaniel, was very patient with me as I tried to figure out what I would like from this amazing menu. I will hundred percent come back and I’m so excited.“

“my favorite beverage shop ever!! incredible quality, fast service, organized, clean, beautiful interior, and amazingly convenient design of the cups. very pleasant place to sit down, and enjoy your drink. i’ve lost count on how many times i have come back here. though it is on pricier side“

“Maple sugar tea packed w gingerm“

“I got what was maybe the best strawberry matcha ive had in the city- at least top 3. Sour strawberry, earthy matcha. I got it at 30% sweet and could have done even less. It was unfortunately almost $10 before tip, which is par for the course given the neighborhood. Giving it 5 stars anyways“

“WonderPho is wonderful!! We found this restaurant on our recent visit to NYC and it has to be one of the best Pho restaurants we've been to in the country. The portion sizes are excellent, the service is outstanding, and the flavors are rich and delicious! The entire crew was so kind and welcoming, especially Jeff who take such good care of us tableside! We will definitely be back anytime we are in NY!!“

“yeah sure the boba is fine and fun but at this specific location it’s always the KINDEST STAFF IN THE WORLD i adore them. i don’t come here often but they remember my order and they are so sweet to my friends and I when we come here nobody say antsy thing mean about them they are my kindness support staff!!!“

“Sooo good, the boba is nice and sweet just as I like it, the rice balls are very good and hot. The place is nice and calming with a bunch of choices on the menu that fit my liking. Overall the place is very clean and people should visit it more😊.“

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

“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!!!“

“The drinks here are really good! For the drinks I’ve tried so far, I definitely enjoy the mango drinks, the coco and the slush. I love how they use fresh fruits for their beverages, it’s a very nice addition. I can’t wait to visit again to try more of their drinks!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Worker is very kind. Got the large 3Q milk tea and popcorn chicken, only $12. Generous with the popcorn chicken portion and it smells mad good. If you buy a drink, any choice of snack is $4.99 only. Super tasty, definitely check it out. Not expensive like the other boba shops in Chinatown.“

“Ruth was so nice to me and my friends,the poke bowls here strike that rare balance between generous and fresh — the tuna practically glistens, cut into thick, clean cubes that taste like they were swimming that morning, while the salmon has a buttery richness that holds its own against the tangy ponzu drizzle. Build-your-own bowls are a joy rather than a chore: the rice is properly seasoned (not an afterthought), the mango and edamame add real brightness, and the crispy garlic and furikake toppings earn their place instead of feeling like filler. Portions are big enough to leave you satisfied without the heavy, sluggish feeling you get from a lot of quick-service lunch spots, and the prices feel fair for the quality of fish you're getting. My only gripe is the seating — a handful of cramped stools near the window — but honestly, this place is worth getting as takeout and eating somewhere with a view. It's become my go-to for a fast lunch that still feels like a treat.“

“Bubble tea was delicious, ordering was a little confusing - I used the self-order screen but there was no one at the counter to complete the transaction.
It's a small store so I waited outside and walked around for ~10-15 minutes, went back in, and was finally attended to. Not sure why the other worker didn't help me out or give me any indication what was going on, pretty sure other customers that came after me got their drinks.
Kind of annoying but at least the Asian guy was attentive and competent and like I said the tea was delicious. I'd go back again.
Also, they charge a small fee for cards so bring some cash.“

“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!“

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

“Amazing food, friendly staff two thumbs up“

“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.“

“Hands down the yummiest boba shop in the entire neighborhood! Their snack side dishes are super tasty too. The whole team is so warm and super welcoming to every customer. It’s just a tiny cozy shop and it’s always packed with people on weekends.“

“I had such a great experience at Koo Thai restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, definitely more than enough to satisfy. The service was also excellent — very friendly, attentive, and quick. Overall, everything from the taste to the presentation was on point. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Thai food with great value and great service.“

“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!“

“Stopped by after work ordered a Passion Fruit Green tea and a crab rice roll. The bubble tea and the rice roll were both delicious!

The service was also great, very nice and welcoming workers.

Will definitely be coming here often“

“Boba Fries in Woodside is my favorite boba spot! The drinks are always delicious, fresh, and made with great quality ingredients. They also have amazing fries that are perfectly crispy and so flavorful—they're the perfect snack to enjoy with a boba.

The customer service is always friendly and welcoming, and the staff makes every visit a pleasant experience.

I also love their rewards program. If I'm not mistaken, after buying around 10 boba drinks, you get one free. It's a great way to reward loyal customers and keeps me coming back.

I highly recommend Boba Fries in Woodside to anyone looking for delicious boba, tasty fries, and excellent customer service!“

“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!” 😍😍😍😍😍🤍“

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

“I’ve only ordered delivery service from here before, and I really love their food.

I usually get the juicy burger meal, it comes with the burger, fries, and choice of drink. I think it’s a really good value meal. I also get it with chicken wings and it’s delicious with my Chick-fil-A sauce at home lol.

I also enjoy their egg and spam onigiri, it sounds plain but I thought the same, but once I tried it, it was better than I thought, give it a try. I usually can’t finish eveything so I leave the onigiri for later at night time, when I am hungry.

Thank you for your service!“

“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)“

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

“love the protein bowl! love all the juices!“

“I love Koji Chicken’s Korean fried chicken😊 this is the second time for us to visit here.
Especially soy garlic is great flavor❤
Staff is friendly and atmosphere of restaurant is great as well.

I wanna come here again!“

“Hello everyone,
From classic milk teas to fruit teas and creative seasonal specials, this place truly has it all. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea with tapioca, and it was perfect — the boba was fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality here. The staff was patient and happy to explain the different options and give recommendations. I always stop by whenever I can to enjoy this delicious treat. I definitely recommend trying it!
