“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.“

“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!“

“Better than kung fu tea but they gotta change the fact that they have dine in on Google maps because I was going to come in for a meeting when I called in and double checked, finding out they didn't have any seating. Very inconvenient.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place! The ramen is beyond delicious—comforting, flavorful, and made with love. The bubble tea is always so refreshing and perfectly made, and the rice balls are seriously addictive. The service is always so kind and attentive, you feel completely taken care of every time you come in. The owners are the sweetest people! The atmosphere is beautiful, cozy, and has such a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you never want to leave. I’m already excited for my next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food & drinks.“
“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“

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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...“

Dietary restrictions: They have coconut milk and not all cafes have that choice!“

“Exceptional food. There's a big menu with lots of choices, including small dishes so it's best to share with a group. The food is delicious and flavorful. The only downside is that the drinks take a long time, so we were halfway through dinner when the beverages came.“

“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! 👏🧋“
