Bubble tea's popularity has been spreading like wildfire... AS IT SHOULD! Secaucus was in need of a good boba franchise. Thank goodness they now have Tsaocaa, a brand that prides itself on providing drinks made from high quality, premium tea leaves and fresh fruit ingredients. This location is in the Plaza at Harmon Meadow. It shares a large public parking lot with many other businesses. The store is clean, modern, and bright with a few tables and seating. You can order at one of the self-service kiosks or at the counter. The menu is overwhelming in the best way. There are SO many options for drinks - milk teas, fruit teas, slushies, fruit mojitos, yogurt slushes, you name it. You'll find both classic and unique flavors. You can customize the sugar and ice levels. Just a heads up, certain drinks have set sizes and some already have a topping/s included in the price. So keep that in mind when you're ordering so you don't get charged for extra add-ons. This location also has a food menu that offers egg waffles, fried chicken, and ramen. We ordered... *Passion Fruit & Lime Tea with passion fruit popping boba (~$7) - Very refreshing, tarty, and tangy! This is the perfect summer drink on a hot day. I was very pleased to see that they used fresh fruits in my drink. *King of Milk Oolong Tea with boba (~$7) - I usually don't drink oolong tea, but it's rubbing off on me now... This drink had the right balance of milk and freshly brewed tea. It was creamy, smoky, and rich with very strong notes of a roasted flavor. We requested 30% sugar level and the barista nailed it. The boba pearls were chewy, but not as sweet as I would've liked. Their pearls are amber brown in color as they are only made with sweet potato (no additional syrups or food dyes). Most boba is made from cassava root and then colored artificially. This isn't your run-of-the-mill shop that uses artificial syrups and powders... By the first few sips, you'll be able to tell they use high quali-TEA ingredients - definitely a must try for boba lovers! read more

Absolutely fabulous experience here. My boyfriend and I got chipotle for dinner and when we walked out and looked over to see Tsaocaa I was a little upset! I would've gotten take out from here instead. But of course we had to stop and get a little boba tea to try. The store itself is gorgeous, modernly beautiful furniture, amazing light fixtures. The staff was friendly as well. Just going through all the boba options on the kiosk screen is overwhelming in a good way! There's so many to choose from. I decided to just go original and get a black milk tea with boba. My boyfriend got a green grape and lime tea. We both loved our options. I also added an order of rice cakes and they were delectable. Almost wished I got two. I'll definitely be back to try their ramen and other teas. Thankful to have found this new gem in the area! read more

My fav boba spot in Jersey so far. I work nearby so I always get it delivered. Every drink ordered was amazing. Not too sweet! You can adjust if needed of course. Sucks that the location has no parking or else I'd go more often. The egg waffles are yummy too. I ordered original and matcha, very little difference since the matcha was so light but it's ok. So if you like a High matcha flavor in your waffles I'd skip them but if you don't mind then they are pretty good. Always Fresh to order. I think my fav drink is their fruit tea. My colleague enjoys the lychee milk tea. It became her favorite here. The amount of fruit they pack in the cup of fruit tea is hilarious. I just open the top and eat the fruit first and drink after. Take a look at the photos I included, you'll know what I mean. "Colorful Fruits Ruby Tea" is the name lol. Another delicious one is the coconut jelly slush. The jelly is made to perfection. If you're a huge coconut fan, I suggest trying it out. I can't wait to try other things from here. Def recommend ! I wish they had a few more shops in North Jersey! read more

This place is my go to for Hong Kong style egg waffles. They are made to order with a soft cake-like center and a slightly crispy shell, just perfection! My husband highly recommends their boneless chicken, with the secret sauce flavor- a little kick of spice, but not enough where it hurts. You will not regret trying their chicken! All of their drinks are a must try. I've been trying something new every visit, and the bobas are cooked just right, chewy! read more

Oh this place is so yummy!! So many drink options, you're sure to come here a few times to try the different drinks and food. I had the purple potato (ube) milk tea and I loved it! It wasn't too sweet, which you can actually customize the sweetness (LOVE this factor!) and the purple potato was delicious. Now, I didn't love the amber boba but chewy boba just isn't my thing, I prefer the popping boba pearls. The matcha bubble waffle was warm, fluffy, and tasty. I can't wait to try the other flavors! I came during a soft opening and the service was good. Ambience is so modern and bright inside, k find it very welcoming and comfortable. read more

Brand new boba place alert!! So happy there's finally a decent Asian chain in Secaucus. Upon walking in you'll see kiosks where you can order yourself. You also can order from a person at the register as well. The service is pretty fast especially when it's not too packed inside, and there is a good amount of seating. However if you plan on ordering ramen and chicken with a larger group, note that they only have two tables that can accommodate a total of 6 in your party. Rest of the tables are for two people only. If you are to order boba, I highly recommend their fruit tea! I ordered a peach tea with Nata de coco and Crystal jelly and it was super refreshing and fruity. On the other hand, their peach milk tea was underwhelming... almost flavorless. (Yes I ordered two teas for the review!) Even my sister claimed her friend got a milk tea and boba and wasn't impressed either. Lesson learned: come here for the fruit teas and specialty/seasonal drinks, go elsewhere for the basic milk bubble teas. I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of food. Ramen looked decent (my friend ordered) and we shared boneless soy garlic wings. They were cooked on the spot, and super hot upon receiving and eating. The flavor for soy garlic was great -- a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory with a light crunch. I deducted a star since they knew we were eating in yet they put out food in Tupperware for the ramen. Overall, it's a great place to catch up with friends over delicious food and boba. If they keep the doors open during the summer, there may be tiny flies around--something to be mindful of. Other than that, the underwhelming milk tea, and the plastic containers for dine-in ramen, I highly recommend this branch for Tsaocaa! read more

Bubble tea is good and the ambiance is cool, but the staff is very rude with brown people when I was smiling talking to them. This is the second time that it has happened to me. read more

Can't go wrong with any of the drinks. Absolutely delicious. Every time I'm in town, I would stop by here at least twice a day.

Real Boba in Secaucus! Let's start with the not so favorable part as it could just be a human experience and not a negative experience. Walking in there is minimal recognition by the staff, especially if you go to the kiosk. After some observation, this could be a matter of a language/cultural barrier, but we'll see as time goes on. I've been to this business twice, and I'm still learning the sweetness levels because you can choice the level of sweetness/sugar in percentages. I started with 30 and it was ideal based on the pearls and the fruit. The milk tea is actually very good as well. During my first visit, I had the wings and my second visit the tenders. In both cases, the level of sauce was a bit lacking, and the ideal of paying for extra based on what was on the chicken was a little offputting and not worth the value . Chicken overall is seasoned very nicely and cooked well, the sauces were tasty however I've had more flavorful sauces and K-Town. They offer plastic gloves to make it less messy experience. I would love if they would give hand wipes or wet wipes, but that's just a personal preference for Korean fried chicken. Overall, I think this location is a win for Secaucus and hopefully its location will afford it a steady flow of traffic. PS they have a great rewards program that offers incentives based on your number visits and dollar spent, which is a win for a mom who has a boy that loves Boba. read more

We stopped during our road trip. We've got a Tsaoocaa in our area too and figured we'd get a quick drink to go. The Ube milk tea was good, the red bean in it was unexpected and not preferred (sharing with kiddos that don't like it), but ok. They also added a cheese top to mine that I didn't ask for though.. it wasn't on the menu and I do not like them at all. Ruined the drink. My partner got an Oreo slush and they made it a yogurt slush with Oreos-- the very tangy yogurt ruined that whole drink too. Unfortunately we didn't taste our drinks until we were back on the road, but those were two drinks that pretty much went straight in the trash. Sad. read more

The food was very tasty. The chicken wings and waffle fries were seasoned well and the honey garlic sauce drizzled over them makes a great umami pairing. The chicken wings were tender and juicy. The waffle fries was crunchy and crispy. This is one of best boba tea place in Secaucus. The coconut mango slush was not overpowering sweet. It was sweet and you can taste the mangos and coconut. The crystal pearls provided a nice chewy texture. A cooling drink for these hot sweltering Summer days. The place has chairs and tables where you can lounge around while eating and drinking your food. The place is very modern. The service was very friendly and fast. I enjoyed that you don't get pressured to tip since the checkout kiosk is far away from the service counter, even though I left a cash tip with the server. Much deserved. read more

Other than their drinks, their Hong Kong waffle and cheese chicken are really good too!

This shop is definitely worth a try! I have tried their Peach Fruit tea and their Carmel Milk tea, and both were excellent! I also am a huge fan of their Tonkotsu Ramen; I've ordered it two days in a row since i first tried it and cleaned my bowl both times. The service is excellent as well; the staff is very friendly. 10/10 recommend stopping in for a quick drink or for a delicious and affordable lunch! read more
