21 Best Bubble Tea near Somerset

“Run don’t walk to this Ramen spot. As a POC, they are so nice to me when I come in. I believe they have a daughter who’s usually at the register and the mom assists.

They actually give you meat! They aren’t stingy!

I ordered the beef ramen today, ordered the Tonkostu like 8 times before and they just opened a points reward system.

10/10 recommend!“

“Love Kaito! Every drink I've tried has been amazing, every time I go I have to get something new because of how good they are. The staff are nice and helpful. I wish they had more vegetarian friendly food but the drinks and food are still amazing.“

“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!!!“

“Akihi is a chain of boba shops, with this location being located right near the Rutgers University campus. It was quite spacious, with large glass windows facing outwards to the plaza that hosts other smaller shops.

The shop hosted a self service kiosk, which made it easier to order and find things, as this was my first time visiting this chain. The menu is reasonably priced, with standard boba flavors as well as serving snacks.

I got the Brown Sugar Brulee, which wasn't too sweet but had a nice flavor to it. We also tried the passionfruit tea (called the fruit party) and it wasn't too sweet but very refreshing as well. It is a good compliment after having a heavy meal and you need something that isnt too sweet.

Overall a good first impression at a boba shop I've never seen before.“

“I recently discovered Fresh O' Tea in Edison. They brew fresh teas and use freshly cut fruit. It's never been too busy when I’ve visited. Here's what I tried:
- Red bean milkshake - 4/5 stars
- Cheese Foam Black Grape - 5/5 stars
- Pineapple buns heated with butter - 5/5 stars
- Kiwi Mango Green Tea - 5/5 stars
- Creme Brulee Milk Tea - 4/5 stars
- Grapefruit Orange Green Tea - 4/5 stars
- Pineapple buns heated with fresh taro - 4/5 stars

All their teas are freshly brewed, with a focus on tea-forward Hong Kong teas. My husband was surprised by how strong the tea flavor was in my HK Creme Brulee Milk Tea without sugar; he thought it needed 30% sugar. The tea uses evaporated milk, giving it a luxurious creme brulee taste. Surprisingly, they don't offer milk substitutes.

The staff are very friendly and make excellent recommendations if you are ever unsure of anything. They do take pride in making their drinks for you as they explain they brew their own teas and there are no powers utilized to make their drinks and snacks. There aren’t many tables, but there is a stage with available seating. Since it wasn’t busy during my visits, I had my pick of seats.

Parking can be tricky, but there’s more parking in the back, which is safer and makes it easier to pull out onto the street.

“The most real fruit I've had in a boba drink since the time I ordered a grapefruit tea in Tokyo in 2005 and they gave me the most pure, unsweetened grapefruit juice and pulp.

I ordered the grapefruit passion four season tea (light ice, light sugar) and it's *perfect*. Extremely flavorful without being too sweet or with no sweetness at all. There's tons of actual grapefruit and slices of lime.

My spouse got mango passion oolong and there's just chunks of mango and fresh mango juice in it. It's very sweet and overpowers the tea somewhat but that's just me, they're happy with it.

My only wish is that the dessert menu was more clearly posted.“

“Amazing drinks!! Dairy free alternatives and fantastic local pastries. Love Bubz!!“

“It’s a nice place seat with my friend~ they have board games,like uno🥰“

“I’m so sad that their Manhattan store closed. The owner is one of the kindest, sweetest, hard working people I’ve met in NYC and I miss Mi Tea already. After my second visit already he’d remember my favorite order even if there were weeks in between my visits :) Their coconut milk with mango pudding is the best! I highly recommend this store!! Even if the owner doesn’t work here, you’re putting your money in the right place by supporting this store!!“

“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“

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea“

“Have tried YiFang a couple times, but ultimately the only good drinks here are the fruit teas. So get the fruit tea, not boba. The boba topping has no brown sugar flavor at all and the teas are very weak. I do appreciate the owner's hard work but there are other boba spots within Edison that taste much better at a lower cost. Sunmerry bakery in the same plaza does boba for a better price.“

“My favorite bubbletea place, they always do a great job.“

“Love all their milk tea drinks!😋“

“Cute and clean Gong Cha Taiwanese bubble tea spot! I frequent Hoboken and Manhattan Gong Cha locations and I have never seen matcha waffles ? offered at this location. As I am absolutely obsessed with both matcha and waffles, I decided to give matcha waffles a try. Made-to-order and steaming hot, they turned out to be divine and met my expectations. Yay?“

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

“They make the best bubble tea by far“

“We have been coming to Okie Pokii for years but this time I have to leave a review. Food are still really good. There's a promotion for free snow ice or waffle with $50+ purchase and dining in. We picked the mango snow ice. We thought it was just going to be a small sample sized snow cup, but it's not! It's a full massive size (look at the picture). Kids were so happy about it ? the flavor was also very good ?“

“beautiful treats. taho that tastes like back home. friendly owner. cozy set up. I had the taho, yema cupcake & pandan cupcakes....YUM! I'll try the cassava cake later & their ube pan de sal.“

“I had a really great experience visiting Egypt Oasis today with my two children. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And the owner Mo introduced himself and was clearly passionate about his business. I was waiting on by Ella and she spent the time talking to my son about his sports. The business is very clean and they have so many selections. We all had the rolled ice cream but I noticed people in the store getting boba tea. There is much variety to choose from in a really cool atmosphere with cards at the tables. We will definitely be back!!“

“I had been to this store after my friend told me very nice about it. I decided to have the delicious Tiger chocolate chip boba and I just loved it. It was so delicious and yummy. I would love to get it again. Service was very quick and good. The lady who helped us to give our order was so courteous and polite. I recommend this store and the most delicious boba…“
