What a great place! My brother and I are huge fans of boba but living in Cape May there isn't much of a selection. We were so happy to have discovered Boba Works (and not to mention all the other great restaurants in the food court) in Somers Point. It's totally worth the ~40ish minute drive. I love that they have oat milk, as well as many other diet-friendly options. That's really important to me and one of the reasons I come so often. The customer service is great, the workers are always so friendly & helpful from explaining the menu or just giving a compliment & generating conversation. Also, the drinks are perfect, have never had a bad one here & don't think I ever will. I recommend the lavender Earl milk tea, matcha latte, & of course the brown sugar milk tea. Finally, I feel like I have to speak to the desserts, wow! I tried the matcha tiramisu and loved it. Such a great idea. I love the selection of fresh baked goods and am always excited to see what they have. I work in a bakery myself & I am so impressed by the mix of authentic & creativity here. Keep up the great work, I'm so glad I found this spot & will be sure to come back time & time again! Definitely support this local business, the hard work & pride in what they do is evident! read more

Super cute place! A variety of boba and drinks to choose from. I really enjoyed the sunny skies non caffeinated drink! The panko dog was so good! And the waffle fries were perfect! So I really loved everything I got, just didn't love the price tag. Still, I would go here again and recommend. read more

I wanted a Hong Kong style egg tart for lunar New Years without going to Chinatown in Philly. And I'm on the island - so I don't get off the island and to the mainland unless it's something special and this is about 5-10m from the longport bridge. I'm in Margate and it was only a 12m drive door to door BUT they use Ubereats to the island!!!! It's totally worth checking them out in person bc they are nestled inside The Exchange (which is a cute but small food hall) with about 6 other vendors. Things to Note: 1) Lots of fun boba tea options, except I don't like boba tea 2) legit egg tarts!!! 3) I'm a fan of their Taiwanese pineapple buns 4) green tea matcha cakes 5) macaroons and lots of other Asian style bakery items 5! They will also make you a speciality cake if you email, insta them, etc. The prices for the items are slightly higher than going to the City but saves you a 1 plus hour trip to satisfy my American Asian cravings. Also - this isn't a typical Chinese bakery, so don't assume you are going to have all the bun and sticky rice choices but a modern American Asian take. Please don't get rid of the egg tarts!! read more

I placed an order through doordash and also bought additional ones after seeing the size of the pastries in person. They are buttery, flaky with a pineapple filling in the center. Not overly sweet, just perfect. Finding the restaurant was pretty easy but the instructions of getting assistance for pickups and orders was kind of confusing leading to a wait. read more

As someone that drinks a lot of boba and enjoys sweets on occasion, I would give this place 3 stars. There are not a lot of options for boba in Ocean City, so I really hope that this place does well (it's got a great location being only a few streets from the boardwalk). We went right before memorial day weekend, so it wasn't too busy. It has a clean and simple layout (I really like the open kitchen, so you can see the drinks being prepared). I ordered the Sakura Rose Special Fruity Tea (it was $9.60 for a large, which is on the higher side for boba). I appreciated the simple and clean ingredients. Overall, the taste was decent (a little too sweet for me). I also ordered chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, and an egg tart. Pricing was pretty standard for these compared to a bakery. Similar to the boba, I appreciated the simple and clean ingredients. Unfortunately, there was very little flavor for the cookies (for the chocolate chip: it was more like a cake than a traditional cookie), so that was a bit disappointing. I also wish the cookie size was a bit bigger. The egg tart was pretty decent for a bakery (if you're expecting Chinatown quality, just be prepared that it's different). Again, I'm hoping that this place does well and becomes a staple in Ocean City. Even with the mixed experience with the boba and desserts, I will give this place another chance when I'm in Ocean City again. read more

Ordered the Matcha Red Bean Cake for my dad's birthday - and for a picky sweets eater - he absolutely loved it! Not too sweet, perfect amount of red bean flavor in the middle. The matcha cake itself may have been over shadowed by the red bean but that MATCHA CREAM ON THE OUTSIDE WAS AMAZING. Give me a cup full of that matcha cream and I'd be good to go. While there, we also tried the asian pudding (a must try - so so good). It tasted like a semi sweet decadent flan. The vanilla cream puff was big, flaky, and creamy but lacked a bit of flavor. I think maybe the matcha might be a better try! Lastly, the Vegan Oreo Chocolate Mousse was more like a pudding rather than a Mousse. Although a great option to have for vegans, unfortunately, was not too impressed. I mean I would have tried all of the desserts really - they all looked amazing. But overall not a bad experience what so ever. Unfortunately, the location of the bakery is the biggest downfall. For being a small business, I hope they find a new location one day. It was sketchy and weird, and honestly, if I did not assume that the couple in front of me was looking for the same place, I probably would have been circling the area. Even after you enter the sketchy hallway, the sign above the door reads something that does not say Boba Works. Unfortunately, I'm sure this is out of their control but hoping the best for this local small business! read more

Boba Works - Matcha Red Bean Cake - they had it done within four hours of my order. - Bakeries Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

After discovering this place for only three days, I've ordered from here twice already. The concept is pretty different, it's strictly just take out or delivery and does not accept cash as they share a counter and kitchen with other restaurants. The desserts here are amazing, pricey but totally worth it. Highly recommend the matcha tiramisu and Asian flan. It's so good! Egg tart is delicious also, traditional egg tart that you would get from a Chinese bakery but slightly bigger in size, thus probably why it cost a little more. I recommend the milk tea over the smoothie though, got the avocado smoothie and it didn't taste very good, had a bitter after taste. The oolong milk tea was very good. Would definitely be ordering from here again and can't wait to try more from here! read more

Ordered a Matcha Red Bean Cream Cake for my sister's birthday, and we loved it! Wasn't too sweet and looked really cute. The flavors were definitely there, and it happened to be one of my favorite combinations. The fresh fruits on top were also a nice touch. Online ordering system was simple to use and lets you order well in advance. Also got the Butterfly Pea Bubble Tea; it was my first time seeing/trying this. Hard to describe but it was certainly a unique tea flavor (similar to matcha tea), tasted good and had a beautiful color. Can't wait to go back and try the other pastry goods! read more

Run...don't walk! The ice cream is amazing (the matcha as well as the red bean flavors were big hits with my kids)! And the Vietnamese Coffee Cheesecake was out of this world! The accommodating and lovely staff were just icing on this delicious (and super cute) dessert place! read more

If you think Boba works only offers boba tea, you're mistaken. This hidden gem in the Linwood Exchange offers not only a number of different teas but I number of different desserts. Pictured is their Uber cookie (made from Ube, a purple type of potatoes that originates in the Philippines). This cookie is much different from your traditional cookie, as it's not as sweet. The white chocolate chips offer a sweetness. Also pictured is a chocolate macaron and butterfly tea. For you-non-caffeinated kids, they depict all the ingredients within their teas! read more

I go here at least once a week for my bubble tea cravings! They make their boba from scratch and their tea is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the jasmine green tea, oolong tea, and lavender earl tea with boba. The homemade flan pudding and crystal boba toppings are yummy additions. The owner makes amazing mochi donuts on the weekends and throughout the week bakes fresh bread and macaroons! I recommend the cream cheese garlic bread. read more

Everything we got was great! I have no complaints at all! We got the Sakura Rose Tea, the Passion Paradise, and the Brown Sugar Milk Tea they were excellent. Then the 1/2 and 1/2 Cheese Dog was out of this world. We also got the Panko Cheese Dog which was really good. Then topped it off with the Pineapple Cakes which were outstanding. There are plenty of things to try and we will most definitely be back! read more

The sunny skies boba was flavorless and very watery. The boba had no flavor and tasted old, like the kind you buy on amazon and boil yourself. Mochi brownie was good, but tastes like the brownie mix you buy at the store. I wouldn't come back but i'm glad I got to try it. I'd go to a place that has fresher boba drinks that are more flavorful and not overpriced. read more

I wouldn't be able to find anything bad about this place if I tried. Everything is top tier and worth every cent. It is also worth the hour I drove here to support the grand opening. read more

First time here, got a bit lost at first but was able to figure out where to go. Ordered a mochi brownie and 2 brown sugar milk tea. The brownie tasted amazing, I highly recommend warming it up so the chocolate flavor comes out more. The milk tea was great as well. I highly recommend finding this place and trying it out. The concept is very unique as there are multiple businesses within the place. Think of it as a food court but instead of different booths or area, it all in one. Will be coming back for more delicious stuff. read more

It is such an amazing cheesecake! It's so different from the typical dense cheesecake. The reason true is so light and fluffy that it just melts in your mouth. Sometimes you don't even realize it and it's almost gone! Definitely recommend trying the Basque Cheesecake!!!! If anything you can try the mini size version of it! read more

This place is coming along just fine. They revamped their boba tea and bakery selections. The bakery was not a disappointment and they do have new variety of selections since the last time I went. The food court has a lot of variety of food to choose from. They have a chinese/viet place, korean place, and an Italian place. It is a good area for friendly gatherings during a pandemic. Their pineapple taiwanese cake, cream puff, and mochi green tea cake was not a disappointment. read more

Love the variety of drinks and boba options! My favorite desserts are the mochi brownie and matcha tiramisu

Tried the flan, egg tart, custard bao, mochi brownie, and Assam bubble tea. Love the bubble tea! I will order it again. My fave of the three desserts was the egg tart and custard bao! The bao is so light, creamy and delicious! I wish got more than one piece! Egg tart is lightly sweet and quite large! Flan is very sweet! It came in a small round tin as opposed to the jar on the site, which doesn't matter to me because it's quite big. Mochi brownie has a very interesting texture. It tastes like dark chocolate sea salt. I will have to come back again to try the sponge cakes! Can't show any photos because we are everything already! read more

The pastries here are sooo good! They're baked fresh daily. My personal favorites on the menu are the egg tarts, matcha tiramisu, and the takoyaki. Would highly recommend! read more

Avoid the boba tea!!! Lacking in flavor and all I tasted was whole milk. I ended up throwing most away...

This place is a must visit if you enjoy boba and Asian styled breads! Try it out for yourself!

A great new bakery! They have a really nice selection of different pastries and desserts. Everything ordered was packed in a very organized manner. The matcha tiramisu was a highlight! Also the red bean bao was some of the best I've had. I can highly recommend this place and will be ordering from here again soon! read more

This place is incredible. I've tried everything from their macarons to burnt cheesecake to egg cookie to the garlic bread with cream cheese and it's all the best. Cant get enough of it. The best pastries around. Also, very friendly staff that provide quality service. read more

I was hearing a lot about this and was finally able to try it a few days ago. Everything from the workers, drinks, and food were very good. The person taking my order was really nice and I was glad that he was able to recommend something from their menu. I got this lavender boba drink and man was I surprised with how good it was. Definitely would recommend checking out this place . read more

I've tried so many things from here and every one of them tastes so good! The Takoyaki and the pork buns are faves of mine!

The pork bao buns were so good! Also the cookie decorating kit is adorable and delish! Def would recommend!
