    Small little place we had stumbled upon. I'm sure glad we did though; they had so many flavors. I got the mango sago which was delicious. The boba was cooked to perfection and the price was decent. If you are in the area, definitely check it out.

    Another boba shop entered the chat! And, Utepia is holding its own. Located in the heart of New Brunswick, Utepia is home to strong tea flavors, an extensive menu, and -- dare we say-- the BEST tapioca?! We watched the employees constantly stir and look after the next batch of boba. Reasonably priced ($5.50 even after adding an additional topping!), accessible, cute cups, a generous range of caffeine-free items ... we stan! Ordered: Original Bubble Tea with Grass Jelly

    Classic Bubble Milk Tea with grass jelly. Pikachu approved.

    Sip, sip, ahhhhhhh. This place has very creamy milk teas. My husband and I both ordered the Taiwanese Bubble Milk Tea. My order came with grass jelly (for an additional $0.50) and my husband had substituted his milk to oat milk, at no extra cost. Both came with boba. They offer not only cold boba but they also craft hot beverages, as well. The quarter is fairly small. There are two long bars with chairs for you to sit yourself and enjoy your beverage. There is street parking and you can use a downloadable app to extend your time should you wish to stay a little longer as you enjoy your sips. Easy access for Rutger students to get to and the cost of the beverages is extremely reasonable for college students. The staff wears masks. I am only able to review their bobas but they do serve various Taiwanese desserts. Their bobas have that perfect bounce and they are generous with both their grass jelly and the bobas. Drinks: 4 /5 Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Location: 5/5 Note: they do honor Apple Pay.

    This is a cute little shop that served delicious bubble tea! I had the lychee bubble tea which was flavorful and not too sweet. They have kiosks to order on that made the process quick and the drinks were ready soon after. There's only a few seats inside where we enjoyed our drinks. I'll definitely stop by again when I'm in the area!

    Mango Smoothie Crème brûlée bubble tea

    Utepia Bubble Tea is an adorable shop right off of George Street. Quiet and cute, it is the perfect post show treat. We placed our order on the automated touch screen. So many choices I scrolled through twice. My little one wanted the mango smoothie with strawberry popping boba. At three years old, she drank half of it. It only comes in the large size. I ordered the crème brûlée bubble tea which I think is a featured monthly drink. Both drinks were prefect and I recommend the lower sugar option. You are really able to taste the drink without all the sweetener. The shop is decorated for Christmas and very entertaining for a sit down. The little benches are a favorite spot. The staff was quick and efficient in preparing our drinks. We will continue to stop in when we are in town.

    Cute spot located in New Brunswick! Love their four seasons fruit tea and mango passion oolong tea - these are special drinks that come in huge cups with reusable lids that I love. The mango passion oolong tea has shredded mango in it that was fresh and tasty - refreshing on a hot summer day. Prices are a bit high but for some of the specialty drinks, the drink sizes are quite large. They have some fun options that aren't available in some of the other boba spots around and I also really like their cheese foam drinks.

    Come to this cute little boba shop that has teas bursting with flavor! Their drinks are also perfect after a solid ramen meal at Ramen Nagomi. Ambiance - small space, with some seating at a counter - plenty of natural light coming in from windows Order - Thai Milk Tea with boba, 30% sugar: medium strong Thai tea flavor, perfectly QQ boba - Mango Passion Oolong Tea with pudding, 0%sugar: fresh mango and other fruits are muddled right in your drink cup! I like that each sip has a bit of refreshing tea, some pudding and some fruit! Even thought we got 0% sugar, there was still plenty of sweetness from the fruit and possibly sugar syrup. This was one of the best fruit teas I've tried in the area! I'll definitely be coming back to grab another drink!

    Matcha Jasmine Tea Slush
    Dhruti T.

    I usually get bubble tea at bubble tea places but the weather was so warm on the day that I went that I was tempted to try the matcha jasmine tea slush. The matcha flavor really came through but to be honest I couldn't really taste the jasmine. It was delicious regardless. The staff were quick to prepare the treat, and there were a few seats inside the shop to be able to enjoy the drinks. I would definitely come here again to try something else!

    One of the better unique and well executed bubble tea places. Interior is super cute; they have touch screen ordering kiosks; and most importantly, good bubble tea choices. We got the strawberry passion jasmine tea and the chilled mango pomelo drink. Strawberry passion jasmine tea hit the refreshing fruity spot - not too tart, not too sweet, with a good amount of pulp. My only issue with this drink is that the menu says it has milk foam, and it didnt. They said they stopped doing it because its fruity/tart and doesnt go well with milk foam. Please update your menu, its deceiving. Chilled mango pomelo was SO good. Creamy mango and hints of pomelo. There are giant chunks of mango and white bubbles (which taste fruitier and less chewy than black bubbles). The name makes it sound as though it's a slushy drink, but its not - just creamy, cold and delicious. Highly recommend this place.

    The family and I wanted bubble tea. So we took a quick ride to the next town over and found this place. Utepia is small and away from the busy area of Rutgers. However I absolutely love the decor. It's bright, organized, and easy to order. Because it's small, this place is more of a "grab and go". Their prices are reasonable for the area. Many different flavors and drink options to choose from. The staff were friendly and made suggestions. Will definitely visit again with the family.

    Hands down the best bubble tea in New Brunswick! From the tea to the boba to the balance of the flavors, simply an all around 10/10. I'm looking forward to exploring more of their menu options. The shop is small, but cozy and clean. Like most bubble tea places these days the ordering experience is mediated through a kiosk, which detracts from the personal interaction with the staff. With that said, the woman who gave us our drinks was kind. Their hours are not ideal for a college town (12:00-8 pm and closed on Wednesday), but you'll find a way to get your utepia fix.

    Bubble Milk Tea w/Jelly & Oolong Milk Tea w/Red Beans
    Pamela L.

    I first had one of their milk teas when I ordered takeout from Ramen Nagomi which is across the street. Utepia supplied some of their drinks during the pandemic. I believe it's for to-go only and I'm not sure if they are still doing it. After a meal today at Nagomi, we walked on over and this was my first time visiting the shop. It is a cute little bright space with mostly white walls with some colorful plushies. Seating is tight by the two large bay windows. Service was super friendly and helpful. Before I could even finish taking a few photos for Yelp, our drinks were ready. Here is what we ordered: - Bubble Milk Tea (no sugar with jelly) - Oolong Milk Tea (30% sugar with red bean) Their drinks here stand up against many of the other boba shops and chains. They have it down to a science with their Taiwanese tea leaves and milk. I enjoyed every sip...so darn yummy. Like last time, I ordered the Bubble Tea with jelly. Their jelly is unlike the rest. It's a texture of jelly and boba and not too sweet. I want to try their pudding (topping) next time. Street parking only.

    Nice bubble tea in downtown east Brunswick, NJ. They have parking garage nearby and some street parking next to them. There are other restaurants around like Ramen Nagomi. I would be back, if I visit East Brunswick area in the future.

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.

The interior is incredibly clean with plenty of seating, including both booths and regular tables. The ordering process is seamless, you can either head to the front counter or use the iPad stations for a quick checkout. It seems like it's a local fav spot for both dining in and grabbing a quick to-go order, since it was fairly busy when I was there. I went ahead and ordered the House Special Poke , it had tuna, shrimp, salmon, assorted veggies, ginger, and crispy onions (and of course the rice) . Although the digital ordering system didn't allow for any topping swaps or add ons, there is a comment section at the end of the purchase. To drink, there are tons of fun options like bubble teas and milk teas where you can adjust the sweetness and choose your preferred boba. The real star of the show is the steamed shrimp dumplings. You get eight pieces per order, which is very generous since they are stuffed with shrimp paste and served with a light, sweet dipping sauce. The service is excellent; the staff is happy to provide containers for leftovers, and there is a convenient self-service station for water, silverware, and napkins. Overall, this is such a yummy spot, and I'll definitely be coming back!

    N25 is located in the 99 Ranch Plaza on Route 1 in Edison where Yifang use to be. I was a fan of…read moreYifang so I was originally disappointed when I saw that they were no longer there but decided to give this place a try. When trying a new boba place I always try both a fruit tea and a milk tea so I can get an idea whether I would like it or not. The first couple times I went there I tried the Shingen Jelly Passion Fruit Tea and the Red Bean Milk Tea Latte and they just weren't my preference so I was going to just write this place off. I mentioned to a friend who lived locally that I tried it and she said that she loved their Strawberry Matcha and that I should give it another try. Glad I did! Their Strawberry Matcha Latte is the best I ever had. The strawberry puree they use is just delicious and unique. I've actually tried purchasing it on its own to add to my own matcha at home but sadly they don't sell it separately. It's so good that I normally buy one to enjoy the same day and another for the next day but unfortunately they will not make it no ice (I've asked and explain the situation) so the second day one is not as good due to the ice melting. This is probably my most frequented boba shop lately because I'm addicted to this drink. I've come here more than a dozen times in the last 3 months. The people working there are quite nice, they always with no fail mention to shake the drink before drinking. It is clean and they haven't made too many changes from when YiFang was there. I normally order on the FanTuan app for pick up so it's quicker. Parking lot is usually packed but because I order in advance I just park in the 15 minute parking out front and run in. Not sure if I will ever try another drink from there but maybe one day!

They refuse to have any interpersonal interaction with customers. They inform the customers to use the kiosk machine instead. Cleanliness: The store is clean with no garbage or debris left on tables, chairs, floors, or near the garbage can area. Pricing: The drinks and snacks here are decent prices from $5.00 and up. Ube Coconut Vietnamese Coffee: This drink was a little different and it just did not taste great. My friend stated that he was glad he added sugar, but he felt like this drink could have been better as it was not to his liking. Mango Matcha: I have mixed feelings about this drink as it tasted a little weird. One sip it tastes a little sweet and another sip it tastes a little bitter. I think I should have stuck with some mango drink instead. Chocolate Egg Pancake: Last time we got this item it did not have any chocolate filling inside of it. It was just a regular egg pancake but chocolate looking. They perfected this with the chocolate filling inside and it definitely tastes better now. Overall: I do not think I would come out of my way just to come here to get bubble tea. If I am in this area again next time, then I may give it another try with a different drink. They should also start to communicate with their customers because some customers love to interact with people.
