50 Best Bubble Tea near Rutherford

“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.“

“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!)“

“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..“

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

“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.“

“Best Taro bubble tea in NY & NJ!“

“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.“

“Great food, drinks and service.“

“Obsessed with this place! My new fave spot the volcano bowl is SPICY in the best way and the mango kani salad is perfect. Staff is always super nice and the bubble tea is delish!! I can’t wait to try the ramen eventually but I keep going back to the delicious bowls“

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

“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!“

“Everything I tried here was amazing but DEFINITELY get the passion fruit jasmine tea no sweetener and add brown sugar boba! I’m not in New York anymore and I can’t get it but I think about it daily and miss it very much!😔“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love this GongCha, drinks are always amazingly made & Yash is always super friendly & great with recommendations. Always a delight to see him every time i come. Came today for the Felix keychains as a big STAY & his recommendation of drinks & sugar level was PERFECT. THANKS YASH, you a real one!!😭🙏“

“Great drinks with Great people, went in on a whim even though they were busy the 3 young men working were fast and had great service,one was kind enough to explain all the drinks, definitely recommend the watermelon drinks while they are still here !!!“

“I work 2 blocks away and Juicy Cube is my go-to for a quick breakfast or lunch. Everyone is always kind and my smoothie always comes out delicious. Next time you visit, get the peanut paradise! Also, I accidentally ordered something incorrectly online one time and they kindly fixed it in store with no issues 😊“

“I once toured a boba obsessed teenager from California in nyc in search of the best boba place. And this kid liked this place the most. Beat all the other popular spots. They make a damn good milk tea with great balance is what she said. So since then, whenever I’m in the area I go only to this boba place. I especially like the hand pounded rice mochi milk tea. I found myself craving this drink many times. It’s addicting!!“

“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!” 😍😍😍😍😍🤍“

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

“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)“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“The MUST-TRY Golden Mango Strawberry Pomelo!! 🥭🍓
This used to be my favorite seasonal drink, and now it’s finally available all year round! The mango is super sweet, the pomelo adds the perfect citrus kick, and the strawberry ties everything together. If you see this on the menu, you HAVE to try it!“

“Got their Brown Sugar Oolong Tea with Signature Cream and Brown Sugar Earl Grey Milk Tea with Signature Cream to go. I always appreciate free milk substitutions (lactose intolerance is a lifestyle at this point). I really liked how pronounced the tea flavors were and it wasn't too sweet at the regular sugar levels either. The prices are on the lower end compared to other bubble tea spots in this area.“

“Awesome spot for a quick bite and inviting to stay and relax - great cookies and the the espresso was 👌“

“I’ve lived in this area for years and never walked into this place until today. My experience was great.

The place was clean yet small and welcoming. Had 3 onigiri: teriyaki chicken, KF Classic, and Kani. My favorite was the teriyaki chicken, second favorite was the classic. I also tried the sausage which was sweet and crispy. I washed everything down with Oolong tea.

Overall it was a good first experience. The next time I return I’ll take photos. I was too hungry to take 😭🤣.“

“Tea Makers NYC was pretty good, but I've definitely had better bubble tea elsewhere. We ordered the regular matcha with boba and a mango tea with boba. I enjoyed the matcha more, while the mango tea was refreshing but didn't really stand out. The drinks were made well and hit the spot after walking around the city, but nothing was memorable enough to make me think about coming back just for the tea.“

“Good drinks. Price is good and pretty low. I like there is not too much milk in a drink so I can feel the taste of tea. Pretty girls, they asked how much sugar I want and if I need the ice. I'll visit this place more often before my job if I have time before the train.“

“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. 😍“

“As a huge fan of Chinese pastries, I can honestly say this coconut bun exceeded all my expectations. I stopped by right after the shop opened, and it was still warm — fresh out of the oven. It couldn’t have been a better way to start the day. Thank you! ♥️“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at this bubble tea shop! The drinks were always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.
The boba had the perfect texture, and there were plenty of options to choose from.
The manager was working alongside a colleague, and despite the shop being quite busy, everything was handled extremely well. The service was smooth, organized, and efficient, without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff remained friendly and attentive throughout.
Definitely one of my go-to spots for bubble tea highly recommended!“

“Such good ice cream rolls! We got the matcha flavor and it was delicious, super creamy, fresh, and not overly sweet. Fun to watch them make the rolls right in front of you too. Definitely worth stopping by if you like matcha or rolled ice cream!
Staff here are super kind!!! The best!!!“

“We had Irani chai here..
It is okay not bad..
Bun and osmania biscuits are good..
We can take tea and good chit chat place with friends outside in the night 🌙... Good relaxing place with friends in night..

Hard place for parking..

Take cash if possible bcz 4% card charges..“

“The taiyaki was delish! My pops even ate two, which is insane considering we had a big dinner right before. They also had amazing, cozy spots where you can play games and have fun! I played chess with my dad—of course I won! Duh…! The owners were very kind. In conclusion, my case is that I totally recommend going! My mom wants to buy a bunch of red bean taiyaki next time to freeze because she loved them so much!“

“I cannot say enough good things about Sunshine Ice! It is an absolute gem in Weehawken for anyone looking to satisfy a sweet craving. From the moment you walk into the clean, bright shop, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming.The menu offers an amazing variety of treats, but their bubble tea and frozen ice drinks are standout items. The flavors are bright and authentic, and the tapioca boba is perfectly chewy, which is hard to find. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and high-quality.What truly sets this local business apart, though, is the exceptional customer service. The staff is consistently polite, helpful, and patient while you choose your order. It is the perfect family-friendly spot to relax, and the excellent attention to detail keeps me coming back. Highly recommended!“
