49 Best Bubble Tea near Newark

“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.“

“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“

“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..“

“I’ve been wanting to come here for the past 2 months here. Last night, finally I was able to come. I am shocked that they’ve been in business for more than a year and I just found them now?Being an avid bubble tea lover along with my kids, I can’t say enough good things about this place. It is a hidden gem in the heart of JSQ. The owner is very down to earth and a people person. You won’t step out of that place without a smile. She will make your drink according to your preference. You can make as many adjustments as you’d like and she will do it with a smile.

We ordered 2 Oreo shakes and a latte bubble tea. I ordered them in M size, but she gave me in L size? and still charged me for M. My kids loved their Oreo shakes and I very much enjoyed my latte. I can’t wait to go back and try the other bubble tea flavors and the waffles and crepes.

I pray that their business thrives and expands!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The quality here is great, with flavors that cater to every tastebud. Each ingredient, from the fresh fruits selected to the freshly brewed coffee and tea, shows the attention to detail, which truly sets this place apart. They use real taro, mango, persimmon, watermelon..etc for the drinks, a rare find! Sugar level and other modifications can be easily made.

I highly recommend trying their seasonal specialties, which rotate regularly to showcase the freshest ingredients. And of course, the classic flavors are always a hit. Even your furry friends will love it, making this a must-visit spot in JC! Very accessible and right next to the Path

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly located in a safe, and not crowded plaza for families to enjoy the drinks.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of ramps for wheel chair to access the store.“

“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.“

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

“You love the place very very professional very service very clean. You love it.“

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

“worker at the store who took my order was super nice, prices are reasonable too, but the space was a little small (doesn't really matter if you want to take out), they also take tap/apple pay if you don't carry cash, drink itself was very good too (i got the brown sugar black milk tea, medium) though it was too sweet at the bottom, but you just have to mix the sugar in with the tea first, definitely recommend coming to this place!“

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

“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.“

“Friendly service, clean shop... delicious sandwich“

“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“

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

“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! 👏🧋“

“Found this by accident! Love it good tea“

“love love love this place. Feels like family, excellent food, great service! We will be back!“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“After trying much of NJ/NY KFCs, they are really one of the best Korean Fried Chicken place around the Tri-State. Super tender, juicy and flavorful, from the crust to the center. They are very generous with their portion and sauce as well. Really a hidden gem.“

“We got the black tea latte and matcha latte. My mom loved the boba, it was chewy and cooked, other places we go they are never fully cooked and this was it for her. We were satisfied with a sweet treat and service was great. Really kind employees and a lively environment.“

“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!“

“Quick service, quality product, great location with a lake across the street. Drinks always look Instagram worthy. I think the boba pearls are super fresh, and possibly two sizes which makes a fun drink even more fun! Number 1 is always the go to, looking forward to maybe trying an oolong in the future.“

“We are learning about Taiwan in school and decided to try Bubble Tea. The employees were very kind and explained how Bubble tea originated from Taiwan, gave our children stickers and helped them through their first time eating the Boba. I love that they have caffeine free and low sugar options.

Kid-friendliness: Low sugar and caffeine free options. They were also very friendly to our children and gave them stickers.“

“Recently tried this place for the first time and it exceeded my expectations! It was my first time trying a Poke bowl and now I'm hooked. I'm always excited to see new places pop up that offer vegetarian options. I got the fried Tofu as my protein option and it was perfectly cooked. All of the ingredients were super fresh and the toppings and sauces were excellent. Love the bubble tea, too!“

“Had the Coconut milk tea with mango boba and it was delicious. Love the atmosphere and the young lady who helped us was great, giving us some recommendations. Will definitely be back.“

“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!“

“Bake Culture
55 Richmond Ter Level 1
Staten Island, NY 10301

Coconut Cream

This bakery is very easy to find as you step off the NYC Ferry.

In addition to looking and tasting phenomenal, it was a really great deal!

The pastry was light and fluffy with a perfect ratio of creamy. The coconut toppings added a touch of sweetness to the dessert.“

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

“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...“

“We went for the all in one box because it was easily enough for two. The honey soy flavored chicken was fresh, crispy and scrumptious. It paired well with the waffle, and the fresh pineapple and ripe tomatoes. The box comes with a heap of fries and a mozzarella stick. The milk teas are generously sized, and there are many other tasty looking permutations. The cashier offered us complimentary vegetable dumplings which had a light crispy fried skin and flavorful fillings; I only wish there were more of the dipping sauce 🤩So glad we stopped by for an impromptu date.“

“Ive been there once and loved it. The person who served me was really kind. It was also not too expensiv. I love how they use actual friut and see the prosseces of how they make the drinks. I will definitely be back and 100% would recommend“

“Delicious and fresh. We love the Udon and Ramen soup with super yummy pork. The chicken teriyaki is also amazing and nice portion for the price. The owner is lovely.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food is delicious and affordable.“

“Very professional place always. I complained about my order being a bit too salty to my liking and they apologized and gave me a whole new meal without any complications. Great customer service and the food tastes really good. First time my food came out salty and never had that issue before. They have a clean restaurant & the lady up front is very pleasant and friendly.“

“The drinks are awesome and the venue vibe is very relaxing. Putting Pokemon lo-fi music on during the event was a nice touch.“
