    If you are a matcha lover, you need to come to Matchapresso. The atmosphere inside is very clean and gives off that cool, mid-century modern aesthetic. The workers are super nice, even offering samples of the ice cream they have on hand while I was waiting. They have so many different options for matchas where you can adjust the type of sweetness you want from flavors while also substituting your milk. They have this kind of affogato drink, but instead of it being espresso and ice cream, they have matcha and ice cream. And the best part is that they have matcha-flavored ice cream with different intensities! They also have black sesame ice cream, which is one of my favorites. You can either order at the counter or use the iPads they have, which will show you their entire menu. I believe they have food as well as other drinks like hojicha, other teas, and coffee. Definitely worth a visit!

    I stopped in to get some treats and when I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and the place was really cute. I went to the nice young lady and ordered: Ube and Genmaicha Gelato Ube Matcha Latte Biscoff Hojicha Latte Matcha Basque Cheesecake Strawberry Lemonade If you are a matcha lover you would love this place! My favorite though was the Strawberry Lemonade and the Gelato! All in all a good experience!

    I am so glad they have this near me. I had a chance to visit today and it was everything. A matcha girl here and a cafe girl so I was throughly excited. The aesthetic such a vibe and calming. There is seating in the front and back, Everyone was really nice, you can order at the kiosk or at the counter. Although it was somewhat crowded they were still eager to assist. I ordered the matcha float with Ube and let's just say I wanted another. I wish this location much success and I predict I will be back very soon like tomorrow . A must try.

    While returning my Verizon equipment, the signage, Machapresso caught my eye. Oooh new matcha shop! I almost let out a yelp. The interior is aesthetically pleasing with a very Japanese vibe. Love all the decor and matcha green color scheme. Order at one of the two kiosks. It was hard to pick because all the drinks sound bomb. I decided to go with the Strawberry Matcha and my friend went with the Cloudy Hojicha Latte. There are alternative milk choices for $1 extra. You can choose the sugar level with 1, 2, or 3 pumps. They will call your name out when it is ready. As soon as I saw the dark green matcha color, I knew it would be legit. The drinks were a solid 10/10! I could taste the bitterness from the matcha (which is how I like it). Both the hojicha and matcha flavor came through equally in my friend's drink. He let me take a sip first. So frickin good. They also specialize in gelato. I visited on their soft-opening phase. Machapresso is now in my top 4 matcha spots in Central Jersey.

    Coconut strawberry matcha

    Visited for the first time here after a few months after their opening hoping they can get it together lol. I had ordered the coconut water strawberry matcha. It was okay, mediocre to say the least. It was a bit expensive, city prices to be exact. I wanted a latte but it costs $1 for alternative milk. It's 2026, why are we charging extra for alternative milk, even Starbucks and Dunkins don't charge for other milk. I would probably try this spot again but it's nothing I'd drink from often.

    I'm excited to see a more specialized matcha spot open up around this area, but so far think their drinks are just alright. I don't think the matcha is strong enough (either a matcha quality issue or they don't add enough matcha to their drinks) and the standard milk option seems to dilute a lot of the flavor. My friend's hojicha with pistachio milk was a lot better though, so maybe I'll give it another try after they get past the grand opening stage. Service was efficient and friendly.

    Matcha cloud latte and strawberry matcha

    Inside was very aesthetic and a great place to get work done. Service was excellent, staff was nice. Matcha cloud latte was good and strawberry matcha was okay. If you like your matcha sweet be sure to ask (they offer simple syrup or agave).

    The place is beautiful however the matcha latte was just okay + the person working the front counter was not friendly.

    This place is a gem and really deserves to be highlighted! Although it looks like a small shop on…read moreMain Street in Metuchen, it's a booming and popular bubble tea place. Love coming here and seeing people from toddler age to folks with their grandparents. Bubble tea is for all! My husband loves to try the new fruity varieties that get added to the menu. Every few weeks there is a new, unique fruit combination that blows him away. I stick to my tried and true Thai iced tea with boba, and NOWHERE else has been able to compete. The details are what makes this place stand out. If you buy multiple drinks, they place your order in an adorable, reusable purple bag. Also, there is a rewards program. So if you're an avid boba drinker, make sure you sign up. Every few orders you can score a free bite to eat or bubble tea. Since it's a hit spot, this place can get packed at peak times (post work hours, and especially on weekends). So happy to have such a lovely shop in my town. Thanks, Akihi!

The inside was very different from your usual bubble tea spot, and it was very welcoming and cozy. I could definitely see myself just chilling and reading a book while enjoying my food and drink. I placed my order through the kiosk while looking over the menu, which had a lot of good options. I couldn't make up my mind and decided to go with the bubble tea and Oreo waffle crepe. Both items were good, and I enjoyed the waffle, which had ice cream as the filling and was stuffed with fillings, but it was a little difficult to eat since the wrapper is not very practical, and I had to use my hands, so it got a bit messy. Did I regret it? No way, I loved it; hopefully, they would just have a better container for it, lol. Definitely will get a sugar rush, so be careful hahaha. I would definitely go back to try the other flavors

    Edison, NJ - I had a hankerin' for shaved ice and, after a quick Yelp consultation, discovered Meet…read moreFresh was a short walk from where we were having dinner. This dessert shop offers authentic Taiwanese treats featuring grass jelly, tofu pudding, taro mochi balls, red bean soup, and the aforementioned shaved ice, along with egg waffles, various teas and other beverages. The limited edition summer osmanthus series caught my eye, so I went for an osmanthus milk shaved ice, infused with condensed sweetened milk and osmanthus syrup, a cloud of almond tofu pudding on top, with mochi balls, red beans, and lychee jelly tucked around the base. The flavor of the cool fluffy shaved ice is subtly sweet, lightly creamy, with just a hint of floral, and the snow melts on your tongue. The osmanthus flavor is not very strong or fragrant, however, though I've never had successful encounters with commercial osmanthus-flavored things outside of Asia, as it's a very distinctive and delicate taste that's also one of my favorite scents and culinary condiments, so I'm very particular about its faithfulness. We ordered a large since it's only $1 more than the medium, so practically begs one to order the oversized version, which is enough for 2+ people to share. But why so enormous? How about offering a personal sized one for a little less? Premium as the ingredients are, $18 feels like a lot for shaved ice. Between us two adults and one small child we couldn't finish it, but I double dog dare you to try. It was good though, and satiated my craving for a proper milk snow dessert.

    I recently spotted the Signature Shaved Ice (L) at the kiosk--I'm not sure if it's new or making a…read morecomeback, but I was excited to try it! With all the different toppings, it reminded me of the delicious shaved ice I used to have in Taiwan. The Chocolate Chip Deluxe Waffle paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream, although it was a little on the sweeter side for my taste. I didn't catch the name of the lady who helped me, but she was incredibly kind and did an amazing job preparing these desserts. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
