We got 2 drinks and waited but it was until 10 minutes in we found out it was 1 curly haired guy doing all the work and the other 2 girls were just chilling doing nothing. I don't know if the 2 girls didn't work there or not but if you are behind the counter then do something or don't be by the work area. This sucks cus this place is usually consistent. The drinks are usually a hit but it just felt bad seeing the one guy do everything while 2 others just sit and do nothing.

This cute little cafe for Asian-inspired sweet treats and drinks is located just down the street…read morefrom Fanwood Train Station. There is street parking but there's also a small municipal parking lot in the back. I didn't see a sign saying to pay (it was night when we went and I could have missed it) but we parked on the side by the stores that said 2 hour parking. There's plenty of tables and seats - ideally for both work and friends. If you enter from the back, you'll have to walk to the front in order to order. The owner (?) is super nice and friendly and ready to answer any questions. The menu isn't extensive (maybe a few options of each category) and serves drinks from milk tea (choice of green or black tea) to milk drinks (mixed with milk so non-caffeinated other than the earl grey), lemonades, sodas, and more dessert drinks. They also have a hot drinks menu and I was pleased that they offered "throat friendly" options - especially with the cold weather. They also have soft serve, egg bubble waffles (HK style), Bingsu (Korean shaved ice), and croffles (which I assume are croissant waffles). As it was late, I opted for drinks and my daughter chose a plain egg waffle because that's how she usually rolls. The drinks were: BLACK SESAME BUBBLE MILK TEA: I chose black tea for this at regular sugar and I actually really enjoyed the black sesame that came through on this. The last time I ordered this elsewhere, it let me down, but the intensity of this was quite good. The boba itself was cooked fine (not undercooked but also not all that chewy either) BUT it definitely wasn't cooked in brown sugar and had no flavor of their own. If you don't like Black Sesame, don't get this. If you're not sure... it's up to you. It has an aromatic nutty-earthy flavor. MANGO COCO SAGO: I got this drink because I love the mango pomelo sago drink at Hui Lai Shan and I missed it after I moved and I discovered the jellies they use contain gelatin (we're vegetarian) and it seemed similar enough. This is very coconut-y as that is the base and it definitely has the mango puree, the occasional mango chunk, and sago (the tiny clear balls made from sago palm trees)... but I don't recall the lychee jelly the description listed. It's also topped with a small segment of grapefruit. It was overall very coconut milk forward, the mango sorbet lacks much mango flavor, and the sugar level was very low even though I didn't adjust the sugar level. I was told that some people like to increase the sugar and if I ordered this again, I'd definitely increase the sugar which is something I would never do. I prefer Asian levels of sweetness. This drink was ... okay. The layers of the milk and the sorbet weren't mixed; I felt like it was a bit too much milk for the flavorful bits in there (mostly just the sorbet) that it overwhelmed it. The black sesame drink was sweeter than the mango one, which is rather surprising. The recipe for the mango coco sago could do with an update as that is a good base with great potential. The bubble waffle was good; I didn't get to eat any, but my daughter finished it. Nice and crisp on the outside, soft and pillow on the insides. Yum! Despite the let down in regards to one of the drinks, it certainly isn't a deal breaker for me. Prices were reasonable and place was fairly clean and tidy. There aren't many (any??) other Asian cafes in the neighborhood so I'll be back to explore more of the menu... and this time, I'll bring an appetite and my other kid (he was napping in the car with my husband as this visit) - who has multiple food allergies.

I would suggest a visit if you are in the area and haven't yet been here.

The drink itself is a bit watery and the tapioca pearls taste like those you can make at home by yourself. The texture of the pearls is too soft, and not very chewy.

The exterior also normally has cool promotional drawings. But in all, this store feels like they value appearance over taste.

Just keep in mind, there is no/limited seating inside. However, they do have an outdoor bench, but it is unusable based on how cold jersey gets. It's more of a grab and go situation. Inside there's a lot of flavors and options, and they do bubble tea very well. There's different types of cheese, foams, flavoring, and aesthetic colors and cups. Inside you can order via kiosk with all of the pictures and the menu, or you can order at the front with the servers. All the flavors are extremely delicious, and they have a lot of variety. That I don't think that you could go wrong. If you're more into fruity or classic milk tea, they have a lot of ways that you can make a match as well. The only issue is that it's on the more expensive side for bubble tea, with a cup being around seven dollars. But for New Jersey, those are kind of typical pricing for Boba.

I would definitely recommend this place and continue to visit myself.

I've been here once or twice in college and haven't been back since now…read more This was one of the only shops open after 9:30 on a weekday. I got a Fruit Lust with 30% sugar, but it tasted more like 75% sugar. My friend got 50%, it ended tasted like 125% lol. I think I would've enjoyed it a lot more if it didn't feel like I was drinking liquified sugar cubes. My other friend got the kiwi drink, and that one was really solid and had a lot of kiwi chunks in the bottom. There's some seating scattered across the restaurant, so you don't have to necessarily grab and go. If I was to come back, I think I'll just get no sugar and call it a day.
