One of my go-to spots for boba! I've tried a variety of their milk and fruit teas, and they all hit. My go-to at the moment is My Ex w/ 50% sugar and white pearls. I also like the Mango Pomelo drink. Street parking is very convenient, as well.

Update: OH! they've rebranded and reopened! Yeah they're they best, great place for bubble tea and popcorn chicken.Giving 1 star review because it looks like the place is closed... love this place though.Go to Akihi in Metuchen or New Brunswick instead.

I recently had the pleasure of trying a variety of bubble teas, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! The Royal Blueberry Peach Tea had a perfect blend of fruity flavors, with the sweetness of blueberry complementing the subtle notes of peach. The refreshing taste made it an instant favorite.Next up was the Mango Pomela, and it was a tropical delight! The combination of ripe mango and the citrusy twist of pomelo created a burst of flavors that was both exotic and satisfying. The balance between sweetness and tanginess was spot on.As for the Taro Potted Smoothie, it was a creamy indulgence. The rich, velvety texture of the taro smoothie was a treat for the taste buds. The earthy undertones of taro added a unique touch, making it a smoothie unlike any other.Overall, my bubble tea adventure was a flavorsome journey filled with unique and delicious concoctions. Each drink had its own charm, and I can't wait to explore more offerings from this fantastic tea spot!Parking: Free street parking

Got the ice cream tea, why did they put all the ice cream at the bottom?! there was no way to get it out and consume it! Just there for decor i guess.Tea was weak. So i Got the thai tea, also weak flavor. I ordered mild sausage and chicken and it was so spicy i couldn't finish, and i eat spicy food often. So dissatisfied.

They serve The Best Taro Latte in the area. I tried almost every bubble tea shop in Highland Park and New Brunswick area and no other shop comes close to their service and taste. They Rose latte is great as well. I loved almost all the drinks I have tried here.

Abby was super amazing! Thank you for the excellent service.The milk tea I had tasted a bit bitter but I learned that is how the type I ordered is supposed to taste.The staff were very efficient and helpful! Their other drinks are pretty amazing as well!

Very long selection of bubble tea’s, only reason I did not give it 5 stars, as the place is a little bit dark, and they were not super friendly. However, I would go back here again.

They have manyyy menu options, and all bubble tea I’ve had I’ve enjoyed (I’m a creature of habit but I can imagine no matter your taste you will find something you like).They unfortunately lost my business twice recently - once when they had no internet (and I was cashless) and once when they ran out of boba near the end of the night. This was quite disappointing, especially when you go and you really want boba, so keep in mind that they do let themselves run out of boba as they get closer to closing. Not too big of a deal since there are so many bubble tea places in the area, but just underwhelming when you show up and have to leave immediately.Last thing, and the reason for my four star rating… This place has a weird smell. Not bad, just weird enough to note the second you walk in the door. Maybe I’m the only one because no one else mentioned it but it is quite unpleasant. I can’t even necessarily pinpoint what the smell is, and it’s not something I’ve smelt at other bubble tea locations, so I honestly have no idea. It’s just weird to me. Not weird enough that I don’t go back, but weird enough that I don’t find myself hanging out there. Bubble tea is yummy though, so overall good experience.
