“First time here and I was bit confused on how it works but Izikiel was patient enough and explained it to me and he was very friendly. As for taste had a chocolate ice cream swirl( which was tasty) and they had a lot of options for toppings as well. Ice creams and frozen yogurts are self service and you can choose on your own flavor and toppings.Overall I was happy with the service and the taste.“
“I really like this real fruit location. It’s always very clean and their music choices are elite. The drinks always taste fresh and sweet. Their tapioca pearls are chewy in the right way how all boba should be ?✨.Jenna was such a sweetheart and very hard working. She was making drinks, cleaning and multitasking in general. I really like the vibes she gave off. Great customer service.If you go to this location, I recommend the banana & strawberry smoothie with boba pearls and whey protein (it makes it creamier) or the diamond mango slush with boba pearls and mango chunks. It is soooooo good.“
“The boba was awesome! I got the Hokkaido milk tea, and my friend got torched crème brûlée boba milk tea, and hers looked really good! I tried mine and it was delicious! It tasted a bit like it had some black tea in it and I love black tea so it made it more delicious for me. The service was great. The employees were kind when we were ordering our drinks, and we got our drinks in about I would say 5-7 mins. The atmosphere was also really great considering at that time it was not as crowded. Also they have seats there where you could sit and drink your boba. We came after dinner on a Thursday so it wasn’t as crazy crowded. If your are looking for some great boba and a good boba tea after dinner, Cozy Tea Loft is the place to go!!“
“I visited this area to see a friend a few times. We’ve come here about different 4 times. The restaurant is always clean and bright. Staff are always friendly and service is fast. Love the anime atmosphere and the constant anime streaming on the tv. I’m a bit new to boba tea but I tried their Ube Taro boba float and I can’t stop thinking about it. I wish I would have gotten it a second time.“
“2nd time to visit. They have non dairy milk which is appreciated. The first time I ordered a Thai tea and with me ordered a dragonfruit green tea drink with dragonfruit popping bubbles. This time I got a taro milk tea and they got a taro Vietnamese iced coffee with boba. Everything has always been tasty. I have preferred the drinks that weren’t mine ? so now I am curious to try different things that aren’t typical. The woman that (likely) owns it was very sweet both times. Would like to try their food items sometime.Dietary restrictions: Non dairy options. I am caffeine sensitive and chose drinks that weren’t heavy on the tea.Parking: Three spots in front. Side street with parking.Kid-friendliness: First time a family was there. Great treats for kids to enjoy.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a little tight but I think a wheelchair could roll into the location.“
“I love this place! The drinks start off sweet, but they note that on their menu by asking what level of ADDITIONAL sweetness you want. I usually choose 0% additional sweetness and it's perfect. The owner is really friendly and accommodating.The ambience is classy and clean; and they actually have a good amount of tables while still feeling spacious. It's not super crowded with minimal working space like Akihi. (I spent the day here at BTT working on an essay.) There's only one outlet, but another customer was nice enough to offer to trade seats with me so I got to use it to charge my laptop. I guess that's the only feedback I have — to have extension cords so more people can use the outlets? I brought my own just in case. Thank you Boba Tea Time for the free wifi!The back has a ping pong table and there are boardgames/card games provided, as well. It's nice that the game room is in the back so if people want a quieter space, they can have it towards the front. They also have a photobooth — cute and a fun addition if you want to make memories with friends here. I'm probably going to bring some church members here after church services to hang out together!I also appreciate that this place closes late (midnight!) so I could work here longer without interrupting deep/focused work.I got the rose black tea milk at 0% additional sweetness and non-dairy creamer. Super refreshing! Also tried the taro at 0% additional sweetness and it was very yummy.There are 10% off deals on weekdays 3-5pm — deals on different items depending on the day. I'm really tempted to come here on Fridays since they have 10% off fries with the purchase of a drink.This is my new favorite spot to work, hang out with friends, and grab boba. Super excited that this opened up!“
“This place opened after the poke place closed and I'm honestly so glad for it. I no longer need to drive out to Hylan to get Vietnamese food!The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and decently sized for the prices, which are pretty good compared to other locations on the island. It's a small shop and most people seem to take out rather than sit in. They also offer rice bowls and bubble tea in addition to noodles and sandwiches!The pho is a bit of a southern style, so it comes with herbs to assemble in your bowl. The beef was a bit tough, but it was probably to avoid people saying it was raw, which is the more traditional way to serve. The chicken pho is also good and made a pretty staying breakfast. The noodles are also decently springy and the broth is always hot.Overall, I hope they do well and I will probably be back some time to satisfy my cravings.“
“Very authentic Hong Kong style milk tea!Guangzhou native, milk tea lover. I didn’t expect to be able to drink such great Hong Kong-style milk tea in the United States. The preparation is very careful. In order to maintain the taste of the milk tea after the ice cubes melt, tea ice is actually used. Then the pineapple oil is super delicious. The sweet and crispy shell is wrapped in the semi-melted salty Butter. It's super delicious when eaten hot. The boss was also very nice and patiently explained and gave suggestions for ordering tea.The only flaw I felt was that when I spooned the pearls, I brought a lot of sugar water into it, and when I drank the next piece, it was obviously too sweet. However, this is also a common problem in many milk tea shops. There are very few shops that can do this without affecting the taste, so points will not be deducted. Next time I will try to lower the sweetness to ensure that the pearls below do not affect the overall sweetness.“
“Cozy shop with really cute aesthetics. They do soft serve on tea and have ice cream! The teas are reasonably priced. The matcha was very good. Toppings choices aren't as numerous as other places but that's ok because they have ice cream.Parking: It's a little tight since it's the strip malls part of Edison. There's a light to make a left out of it so it's not very hard to get out. Just not very many spots. Unknown if there's parking in the rear“
“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“
“Drinks are always on point. Unless they're having a bad day then that's when the drinks are a bit off, which is rarely honestly. The place gets packed and very crowded during the weekend but that just means this place is that good. If ur looking for a quite boba shop... this is not the place. It's basically where all the youngsters come to hang and it's the go to Boba shop that closes midnight. Just brilliant honestly! Workers and their service are always great. Drinks and food comes out fast despite the long line. I come here 2 to 3x a week (weekend is a must cause BOBA IS LIFE lol) and I personally never had an issue here. And if u had an issue... it's probably a you issue ?? But the place definitely got worned out and need some new furnitures cause the amount of people coming in and ruining it.“
“This is my go-to spot for pastries in the area! The coffee brioche and the red bean bun are my favorites. I also lovee the cake here. I've tried the spooky oreo, black forest, tiramisu, and red velvet cakes, and they're all delicious. Staff is also super friendly and helpful.“
“Tasty food with lots of choices for the whole family. We did takeout for 5 items: --Wok Fried Noodles - bouncy and satisfying! --Bao Sampler Platter - Really good, especially with chili oil! This came with different fillings: Pork with Scallion, Chicken with Corn, and Beef with Onion and you can have them steamed or fried. I super recommend getting their add-on of Spicy Minced Pork Chili Oil which really elevates this dish. --Jasmine Boba Tea (customized for my request of zero ice, zero sugar) - pretty good, but the boba was kinda hard. --Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings - Pretty good. These are very likely much better eaten in the restaurant. In general, the filling was slightly too dense and the wrapper was a little too thick compared to the same dish I've had elsewhere. --Bao Chicken - A family fave. This came with 3 pieces of broccoli and was heavy on the chicken which had a light coating and yummy sauce. The portion lasted my kids several meals. With food this good, this spot can take a bao. ;)“
“I love this place!! I moved a few years a go from near the city and couldn't find a good bubble tea place by me. I drive a little over 25 minutes away and totally worth every minute of the drive!! ? ❤️ Their teas are amazing! They have an awesome variety of options if you're not into certain topings/textures and totally have healthier alternatives that's been very helpful to my digestive system (might have even kept me away from the ER from all the stress, in my opinion)! They dont just have the cool fruity sweet drinks (Passion Fruite, Mango, strawberry, lychee, etc.), but I also love their topings (aloe, chia seeds, coffee jelly, etc.)!By far, my favorites are the Jasmine Honey Green Tea with Aloe & Chia seeds, The classic Taro Milk Tea with Boba, Passion Fruit Slushi with Chia seed!! And of course their "Special Menu" they have in the store like green apple, etc.!Starbucks has competition (and this is coming from a Starbucks fan) ? ? Perfect levels of caffeine without the shakes! And you can still keep it low calories!! ?“
“As a married couple that has traveled through thick and thin for all places of bubble tea.Every cup we order is great. My favorite will always be the oreo brown sugar large.There is no other bubble tea place but this.Edison has so many. This county has so many...But will always come here for bubbletea.No other place like this“
“Ring in the yum! Of all the mochi donut places I've tried, these stay the softest even when they're a couple days old. The day my family and I visited, they had 10 flavors available and we enjoyed all, especially the Nutella, Strawberry, and Brown Sugar Milk Tea. We love it a hole bunch! ;)NOTES/TIPS:**No restroom, more of a take out spot.**Between Bonchon and Barangay.**Street parking.**They offer several great deals of 1 free donut for buying 6 or 2 for buying a dozen, and 1 free taiyaki ice cream for buying 2.“
“It was awesome. The wait was only 2 or 3 minutes. Then, when we ordered, the food came out immediately. It was very good, and the sauces tasted great with it. We got boba as well, which was very good. Overall, it's not that expensive with it coming out to 30 dollars per person. Definitely recommend 10 out of 10Kid-friendliness: They had a whole section on the menu for kid friendly foods.“
“My first time here and I will definitely be coming back. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and it was delicious! The broth was tasty and flavorful with a bit of spice. I haven't had pho this tasty in awhile. In pho, the broth is the most important and it didn't disappoint. We also ordered the pork chops. The pork was slightly dry, but it was flavorful and still delicious. The portions are a good size. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the prices are reasonable. Happy I found this gem.“
“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 family and I order take out from here all the time and let me tell you, they’re consistent. The food is always delicious and fresh, and the portions for the price are unmatched. Our favorite thing to get is the poke bowl combo with a sushi roll. This place just became our go to dinner spot when we’re hungry and too lazy to cook. Definitely recommend!“
“A cute little coffee shop nestled downtown. There's a few tables inside and it's atmospheric. They sell a few pastries and I happened to get the apple turnover which was just sweet enough. I tried the Apple Butter Caramel Latte with oat milk and it was very good. The caramel taste is subtle but flavorful and you get an apple cider taste as the main star. The staff is really nice as well! If you present a student ID you also get 10% off. i almost forgot but they also sell bubble tea here. I would definitely recommend this place and I know I'll be coming back here!“
“Love the bubble tea at this shop. The tapioca pearls are never stale. My wife, who is the bubble tea connoisseur, 100% approves this brands bubble tea drinks.I usually go for the real fruit drinks with aloe or lemon jelly and they are legit refreshing and awesome.“
“A great place to stop for a drink or treat! I've been a few times to eat in the Cafe and ordered something different each time. The marshmallow latte is delicious and waffles are made fresh to order. The bubble tea is delightful and the boba/tapioca pearls were also really fresh. Looking forward to stopping by again!“
“Food and beverages are always delicious, soup dumplings are out of this world amazing. The chef special prawns and scallops entree was fantastic, they were also very kind enough to add a delicious substitute of crispy tofu instead of shrimp for me in my entree and I loved every bite. Thank you guys.“
“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...“

“When I arrived this place had just opened and it was cold inside. , I made an order, the order was ready very quickly within five minutes, I ordered soup ? beef pho, the soup was not traditional but tasty, brought in a plastic disposable plate, the spoon was also small and plastic and it was not very convenient to eat it, I don’t know why they use this plastic usually the soup is served in traditional Vietnamese ceramic plates, and the spoon is also traditional, I like their spoons ? and here the plastic was not comfortable to eat because of this. wanted to change dishes… pho soup tasted like 5 stars delicious real… sprouted beans were fresh.. who likes real traditional pho you need to visit this place… inside is clean comfortable and cozy.. recommend to everyone . only one minus is this plastic dish ?Good was great! The atmosphere was really nice and Ian was a great . Suggested the wings, and I wasn't disappointed. Will go back again and try the ribs next time, and I think so no more plastic plates and spoons..“
“Gong Cha stands out as a bubble tea haven, offering a diverse menu of flavorful and refreshing options. Their boba pearls are consistently chewy and satisfying, making every sip a delightful experience. The variety of teas and customizable options cater to different tastes, ensuring there's something for everyone. With efficient service and a wide selection of beverages, Gong Cha remains a top choice for bubble tea enthusiasts seeking a satisfying and enjoyable treat.“
“This is on the second floor located inside the mall. Right before the main entrance to the food court. I love that they use real fruits in there smoothies. Was greeted right away and ordered my drink. Drink was made pretty fast as I was the only one there. I'm so happy they have a location here in the island. They are a Toronto based company and they do have some locations on jersey but this is so much closer for me. Also you get a good amount for the price you pay. I paid about $9 for this large mango smoothie. Can't wait to try there other drinks!“
“Good, quick service. Easy to understand menu and ordering unlike other bubble tea places. They are more reasonably priced than other bubble tea places which can be upwards in $12-$15 per cup. My medium hot taro with black pearls came out to about $6.xx. My sis-in-law's medium passion green tea with coconut jelly was also around $6.xx.I recommend getting zero sugar with any taro drink or anything with pearls or jelly as they are already sweet as is unless you just love sugary drinks.“
“They have about 10 seats in total, 4 tables, 2 of which are bar window seats. The bubble teas are excellent, no fluff and no difficult to read menu! Easy to order and owners are friendly. Reasonable prices! They also serve poke but we didn't have that during this visit.“
“Had the orea matcha tea new recipe and also the passion fruit green tea!!!!Amazing not too sweet ask to control the sugar. Less sugar always .I can't wait for them to release the Oreo matcha. Soooooooo good. The Oreo and matcha combination isn't something I would have naturally though about but it's insanely good. Will come backThank you to the owner for letting us try and also for serving us. I want to mention that we were walking in 1 minute before closing, most other stores would have turned us away and told us they're closed but the workers here very kind and served us two incredibly crafted drinks. Thanks guys you are the best.“
“Been here 3 times so far I am vegetarian but I love their rolls I got the special deal 3 for 13.95 amazing rolls tastes absolutely amazing. The lady in the front is very sweet and friendly. My go to place for sushi in staten island best for takeout as it is a small place. I also got miso soup has no fish broth. So far I tried the avocado cucumber, sweet potato, tofu, pumpkin roll all excellent.“
“Pretty tame boba! There's a LOT of brown sugar on the bottom of the cup if you order that boba or any boba with any added sugar or flavor, so make sure to mix well or you'll be getting a lot of that flavor at the bottom and it won't taste good! It takes about 2 - 4 minutes for it to be stirred or shaken enough for your boba to be mixed.“

“I've already been here three times but I still haven't taken a photo. If that's doesn't show you it's yum, then I don't know what would. The place is very unassuming as it's in 99 ranch but I love that they have the convenience of ordering through their app. And the customizations of sugar, ice, milk and even how much tapioca you want are amazing. I only wish they had white pearls and then it'd be perfect!“
“If there's anything that can be said, it's that the staff at this location are GREAT!!! Every one of them were great! I came in and wanted to try something on the menu that I wanted "altered" a bit and they all pitched in on how to make it work and what would make it better. I loved what they had made and if I could give it more stars, I would!“
“the staff aren't the best here! they've gotten my order wrong before (not just a small error, such as a sugar percentage, but rather the ENTIRE drink wrong), and they're not as welcoming as other places i've seen.the place is cutely decorated, though, and the drinks are still good!“
“First time here, the teas were awesome, the place looks beautiful and very tastefully done. The service could have been nicer but no smile, no hellos or welcome or good byes or come again or thank you and we were the only customer in the shop ?. There is a clean restroom onsite and plenty of parking.“
“The best Chinese food on SI. I usually don’t care much for Chinese food but since this place opened, I am hooked. Mae & Anthony are such hard working amazing owners and hosts. Orange Beef & Crab Rangoon are out of this world. The best I have tasted. Whole Fish, Eggplant with garlic sauce are also top-notch. Food is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend!!!“
“Wonderful modern cafe making strides in the community. Service was friendly and timely plus the food and drinks were delicious. Definitely worth the visit, especially for a pleasant start to the day or relaxing way to bring in the evening. Can easily become your go-to cafe.“
“Was there earlier the artwork around the store really was really nice. Food was pretty good so was the ramen only complaint was that the tea was a bit too strong/over steeped for my liking but overall everything was really nice. Def a good spot to pass by and price to food portions for what I got was pretty “
“Went to yestoday, yesterday and got the bubble cone. The whole experience was amazing and you can’t say that often lately, we got the bubble cone. Zoey was so helpful with explaining the menu and choices. Wasn’t doing anything today, we decided to go back. This time twice as good and if you sit outside they even bring it out to you ! Atmosphere is great and sitting outside is a vibe on a nice night“
“I’ve wanted to try bubble tea forever , I finally got the chance today while walking around the mall.The man working there was very friendly and offered suggestions since it was my first time. I got the taro drink and it wasn’t too sweet, it was a good introduction to bubble teas. I will try the next flavor soon“
“We just go here bc the Boba is always good and is consistent. Although this is nicely decorated, There is no seating here. It's very small and strangely very warm each time. The service is just okay. They just take your order and enter it into their system. There is no above and beyond here. We just get our drinks and leave and it's not complicated.“
“On a short road trip home back to nyc, I was craving some bbt and we found this spot on google. First time trying out their mango drink and I was addicted!! Finished that so quick, had to hold myself back from getting seconds although I’m low key thinking I should’ve just done it… summers over anyways lol. The workers are were also really nice to me and my friends as we were a bit indecisive in what we wanted at first“
“1st time here and everything seems very good but they had run out of what seemed like half the menu (3 ice creams and the cups for the floteas) so we were limited to what we could get but the stuff we did wind up getting was very good! Will definitely be coming back again.Parking: On street parking only I believe so be wary.“
“A small little boba shop that I happened upon on a craving, and I can safely say this scratched the itch for good boba. I'm usually pretty picky about flavor powders and how at a lot of places they don't dissolve properly but for at least the taro and strawberry drinks I tried, the flavor was very well mixed. I think the popping boba was a little mild on the flavor, but that's a minor thing. +1 for the cool canned presentation too!“
“This is a great cozy family setting restaurant. This is my 3rd time coming back when I'm in this area. Definitely 100% recommend to you to take your family and friends to eat-in, take-out, or Grubhub. I ordered a bowl of Combination Pho. Peach Lemongrass Kumquat cold tea for my drink . It was such a nice hot Pho soup and refreshing drink after landing at the Newark Airport 1 hour ago.“

“I liked this quaint lil ice cream or bubble tea spot in Woodbridge mall. We had some wait for seaquest and while waiting decided to try their waffles with ice cream. I ordered the chocolate waffle and asked them to replace m&ms with mangoes. They did charge me extra for the mangoes though. Overall the waffle was freshly made and the ice-cream was good too! Nothing to not like about an ice-cream and a waffle!“
