39 Best Bubble Tea near Kenilworth

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing service. My husband and I happened to come across from Staten Island where we are visiting his Grandmother (we are from Hampton, VA). Let me tell you this spot did not disappoint. Nestled in beautiful area, we’re welcoming faces, great customer service and the most amazing tasting Boba Tea! We will definitely be back when we are in the area again! We highly recommend you checking out Boba Time Tea!!!“

“It was my first time there, and the lady who identified herself as the owner (Kelly) was very pleasant and helpful. She took her time explaining the drinks and their ingredients to me. I left there with 3 orders??‍♀️. The drinks were so good. Directions from Google were confusing. If you know the area, Highland Bubble Tea is on the opposite end of the bridge where Jersey Boys Pizza is located.
It can be tricky if you don't know the area. It's almost across from the new Performing Arts Center in Avenel! So, if you're looking at the PAC from Avenel St., in Avenel, Highland Bubble Tea is on your left side, across the street b4 going down the bridge. Lots of drinks and tasty snacks to enjoy. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the parking and the difficulty in finding it. Enjoy!!!“

“The guy that works there is amazing, patient and nice! By far the only employee that actually make sure he’s getting the orders correct. He’s amazing!

The owner made my drink a month or so ago & gave me the wrong bubbles I asked for regular and she ended up giving me brown sugar and said can I come back the next day she will give me a free one lol long story short she wasn’t there the next day because I bring my daughter to this location and she was too lazy to fix my drink the day she messed it up. I get she was overwhelmed by working alone and having a lot of people ordering but she has to do better as an OWNER! I have a business myself and it’s a lot of things I do not do because you have to be professional.“

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

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

“Akihi is amazing! I tried the crispy chicken and I’m absolutely in love with it. Also had the Oreo waffle and the double chocolate waffle — they completely stole my heart! This place has such a cute vibe and cozy seating. It does get really busy, but honestly, every minute is worth the wait. I’m obsessed — love this place“

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

“As for the food selection, the menu of this restaurant has a wide variety of food. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience in this food restaurant. From the environment, dishes, service to prices, I was deeply impressed. I highly recommend everyone to patronize this restaurant“

“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.“

“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.“

“Hello! Yesterday, I went to the mall, a rare occurrence, and stopped by to get some food. As you can see in the videos, I ordered a bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream, fruit, Nutella, and whipped cream and a crème brûlée boba milk tea. 🧋 . The bubble waffle was delicious! I’m normally a slow eater, but when I really like something I can’t stop eating it and this is what happened here. The crème brûlée milk tea was also delish, especially the bobas. Overall ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.“

“I recently visited real fruit and had an incredible experience! Not only do they offer a fantastic variety of bubble teas, but their real fruit shakes are out of this world. Each shake is made with fresh, high-quality fruit, which really sets them apart from other places.

A special shout-out to Tito, who made our visit even more enjoyable. Tito was incredibly nice and helpful, His friendly demeanor and excellent customer service truly made our day.

If you're looking for a place with delicious drinks and outstanding service, look no further than real fruit. Highly recommend!
Ooh let Tito help you he has a great personality.
Thank you Tito“

“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!“

“awesome food, went in for bubble tea and came out with banh mi and BBQ sticks last time and now bubble waffles 🧇 sssooo goooddd!!!!“

“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!!“

“I love this place. They always have great and fresh food. My favorite has to be the vegetable ramen. It’s so delicious, their chicken wings are flavorful and guns texture is pretty good. I love their bubble tea as well. I order through Uber eats majority of the time, I wonder if I can directly order from this restaurant though. I think I’ll find that out. Today I ordered the matcha green tea bubble tea, usually I order the mango milk bubble tea. They must remember because Uber gave me a complimentary mango bubble tea. This place is highly recommended by me. 10 stars“

“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“

“Simply the best Halo-Halo & Boba Teas in NJ, worth a visit everytime & when it's cold they have hot drinks too.😋😘 yummy❣️“

“I always come to Gongcha at the Staten Island Mall and order the Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea—it’s hands down the best drink I’ve ever had! The quality is consistently amazing, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for any bubble tea lover!“

“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! 👏🧋“

“came for a midday snack. crepes are delicious. kids loved the froyo there were several board games to choose from. were had a great afternoon at this cafe. staff was friendly & welcoming.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Extremely clean environment and very friendly n helpful staff... I loved the choices of protein and salad mixes... however- although I ordered 3 proteins, the salmon, shrimp n Ahi tuna; I wasn’t crazy about the Ahi tuna. It had no taste and the texture was spongy- my choice of the sesame dressing left the salad very wet and soggy by the time I got it home! I suggest eating there or ask for the dressing on the side!!! Bubble Tea’s & ice cream flavors were AWSOME!!! I highly recommend...“

“C’est vraiment accueillant les serveuse sont très très gentilles et j’ai kiffer leur boisson et leur plat“

“best food always consistent wont ever go anywhere else.“

“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!“

“Lovely little place. I love to meet here with friends or for small business meetings.“

“Been here 3 times so far I am vegetarian but I love their rolls I got the special deal 3 for 13.95 amazing rolls tastes absolutely amazing. The lady in the front is very sweet and friendly. My go to place for sushi in staten island best for takeout as it is a small place. I also got miso soup has no fish broth. So far I tried the avocado cucumber, sweet potato, tofu, pumpkin roll all excellent.“

“My family and I order take out from here all the time and let me tell you, they’re consistent. The food is always delicious and fresh, and the portions for the price are unmatched. Our favorite thing to get is the poke bowl combo with a sushi roll. This place just became our go to dinner spot when we’re hungry and too lazy to cook. Definitely recommend!“
