    Creamy Bubble Tea
 Lavender Earl Grey with Soy milk and Tapioca pearls
 0% sugar and no ice.
    Brenda C.

    This new place is an absolute hidden gem, nestled in the Target shopping center and AFC Urgent Care at Ryders Crossing in Milltown, NJ. This small but mighty boba store sells a variety of boba drinks and quick small bites, such as the croffle (a croissant made into a waffle). There are plenty of tables and seating areas. I just wish their plastic cups were a bit thicker. Excellent, friendly service, clean environment, and plenty of customizable options.

    Classic milk tea with tapioca bubbles, creamy style.

    Milltown has a new bubble tea shop. Conveniently located near East Brunswick and away from the hub-bub of Edison. The Zio is the sister store of Cafe Zio in Edison. Spacious and modern, with available indoor seating. Ordered was a classic milk tea with tapioca bubbles, soy, no ice and no sugar. It's good!! Friendly counter staff, spacious and great drinks. I'll be back.

    Another pleasant visit to Cafe Zio! This time I got to try the croffle and my goodness it hit the spot!! It was crunchy yet so soft and chewy in the inside. I would totally recommend trying one of these things if you go here. The street waffle was great but the croffle was better.

The look of the space alone draws me in to visit, but the coffee is so good as well. Their specialty latte flavors all sounded amazing, but we opted for the tiramisu & the white chocolate raspberry. I appreciate a cafe that makes their own syrups/flavors, and the taste at Habibi's reflects that. I loved having real raspberry puree instead of an imitation syrup, and the flavor of the tiramisu latte was spot on - not too sweet, just how we like it. The coffee was bold and smooth, and I cannot wait to return and try the rest of the menu!

The drinks were well made, and I appreciated the attention to presentation. The space itself is definitely part of the experience and makes for a fun destination if you're into cars, coffee, or both. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that I felt there was a little room for improvement with either the service speed or overall consistency during my visit. That said, I'd absolutely come back and would recommend checking it out.

The parking is inconspicuous and in the back shop. Make sure you dont miss it and turn into the realtor parking nextdoor. While they do have a shop, their actual store front was closed, which was a huge disappointment as we were trying to hide from the heat, but there are benches in the front of the store facing the street for some immediate seating options. The servers are your typical friendly-enough highschool/college-aged workers. They were sure to answer any questions I had and provided a requested sample, but I felt a bit disconnected and shut out from the screens and doors they are behind while you are trying to ask them questions. I get it may just be a cost-saving measure with the AC, but it made the whole interaction a bit sketchy to be honest. Oh well, all that comes with a hole-in-the-wall joint! In our urgency to escape the heat, we ended up downing the ice cream before I got pics~ I got the chocolate chip cookie dough and caramel cold brew, which was an AMAZING combo with chocolate chips in both ice cream flavors, and generous heaps of cookie dough. My friend got the cinnamon churro, and chocolate and peanut butter swirl, and he highly recommended the peanut butter swirl! Overall, they have some delicious and plentiful ice creams and they are generous with the portions here. If you are stopping by for a summer evening, I do believe its worth a try.

Everything that day tasted so fresh and so delicious! The red velvet cake slice was amazing! My husband loved all his cookies too! We loved the bakery so much we came back a few days later unfortunately that day it wasn't nearly as good except for the cookies. I bought a carrot cake slice, a cheesecake/brownie slice and various cookies. The carrot cake slice wasn't that great and tasted a few days old. The brownie part to the cheesecake slice was very good, but the cheesecake on top wasn't that great. We did enjoy the cookies. We came back for a third time on Monday Jan 26, 2026 and I purchased a brownie that tasted a month old at least! It was hard as a brick! Needless to say I didn't eat it! I also bought a chocolate mousse cake slice that was extremely fresh and good. As usual the cookies we purchased were all fresh and very good. All in all this bakery is a mixed bag you don't know if you're going to get something fresh or stale. Everything is either hit or miss. I'd come back again and give it another shot, but I wouldn't come often.

    HORRIBLE EXP!! STAFF RUINED OUR GENDER REVEAL BY REVEALING GENDER…read moreWe ordered gender reveal cupcakes on 10/12 (name is Rad on order), giving the employee a sealed envelope with the gender since we didn't know ourselves. Later that day, we called to change the pickup date from 10/17 to 10/14, and the employee confirmed the change. When I asked to make sure all cupcakes would be filled, she said, "Yes, all will be filled with pink," completely ruining the surprise. This was supposed to be a private, special moment for us as expecting parents, and it was ruined by carelessness. The next day, another employee called to confirm our order but didn't even seem to have the correct details, proving the lack of communication. Please train your staff better for situations like this--moments like ours can't be redone. I emailed the company - they said the store manager will call but never did. Completely unprofessional. -- Reema

Based on her reaction, it's safe to say that their cupcakes aren't that bad. I wasn't a big fan of the service here. The people seemed like they just wanted us to get in and get out. I felt like they could've been more welcoming and nicer. They didn't even acknowledge my niece. The vibe here isn't really anything special. Would I come back here again? Probably not. You guys can check it out and see for yourself. Maybe I came on the wrong day.

If you aren't a drive through customer or using the app, you are low priority and it definitely feels that way. This location only has wood chairs so seating is adequate but not comfortable. Although I did like the bar stool height option. Music was very loud so I had to use my noise canceling headphones. Coffee was fine. Overall experience, not what I'm used but better than many California locations. Overall, a lesser location versus others. But at least it felt safe inside as I stayed there for about two hours.
