Bubble Tea near Union

“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! 👏🧋“

“The variety is great! They serve hot and cold.“

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

“Owners are super nice and the service was quick and kind! Very nice place to go to eat some yummy halal food with mexican addition to it! I got the mango smoothie and it was thick and yummy! Korean corndog too as well as the chipotle chicken salad“

“They are genuinely too nice the worker Chaurise Moore is the best she saw has a big ball of energy and she is so fun to be around I could always go to Sakura Japan and get boba over there since it closed to my bus stop but I take my time instead to get this boba cause it is genuinely the best.☺️“

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

“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!“

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

“Found this by accident! Love it good tea“

“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.“

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

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.“

“Loved my tea and rice ball“

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

“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“

“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 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 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“

“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“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best dumplings and strawberry lemonade tea ever!!<3. I definitely recommend this place. 谢谢😌“

“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...“

“A lot of variety in all their drinks!“

“Le Poke Bowl Chili avec supplément cacahuètes“

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

“My experience at Bubble Tea was fast suffient and professional. A clean courteous experience with a young man great smile. Tall african american young man with an amazing smile I cannot remember his name but I know it starts with an R, he's the manager. I'll be vising soon for my mango drink“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I get poke here after all my afternoon hikes and it’s definitely one of the best in NJ. Ingredients taste fresh and the portions are fair and filling. Theres so many different combinations. You get up to 2 protein, 5 topping, 3 crunchy toppings, and 2 sauce. Everying else is a bit extra. Really yummy and I’ll continue to eat here“

“Very good hibachi and rolls. Consistent quality and good portions.“

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

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

“I’ve been here once in person but have gotten Uber Eats from them multiple times. I always get the beef noodle soup. The broth is the best part and they give you a good amount of fresh vegetables. The beef slices are well seasoned. Noodles are okay but that’s because I get delivery and it is clumped together by the time I get my food, but it is still very good. The soy milk is traditional and I love it. Desserts are great too !“

“Amazingly delicious food with beautiful presentation and top notch quality and quantity! Love the environment, attentive/knowledgable staff, wait is beyond worth the food! Second time having lunch there with Addy personally coming around to make sure all customers were satisfied!“

“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 had a Pineapple Slushy with Mango popping bubbles and it was great! Great vibe inside as well. Chalk artwork on walls 👌“

“I enjoyed the rolls that I ordered the last time I was in town, and made it a point to go back again this trip. I was not disappointed! This time, I ordered the spider roll, dragon roll and sakura roll. All three were fresh and flavorful. Prices are fair. I'll be back!“

“Yestoday Dessert Bar has so much selections from their home made gelato which is being automatically turned by their machines every few minutes, to their slush, and bobas ! I tried their Taro slush with black pearls. The amount and the quantity does not match at such an affordable price they give so much ! It was delicious and can’t wait to try their other items! They have a table in the front you can enjoy your treat. Definitely check them out especially since the warm weather is coming !“

“BEST MATCHA ICE CREAM EVER 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I'll just suffer to offer a mini size with 1 or no topics.
The kids size is still so big!
This place is definitely for ice cream exotic flavors lovers!“
