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!

While exploring in Metuchen, I came across this dessert/bubble tea spot, and of course, I had to…read moretry it out. 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

We asked for anything with fish be served on a separate plate. The waiter agreed to do so. We got the teas first. They added 50% sweetness to two pots of tea without asking if we wanted the tea sweet. It was pretty much undrinkable unless you were a hummingbird. We waited over an hour for the food, with mostly undrinkable tea (though the waiter did bring a few paper cups of water), and we actually had to flag down the waiter to ask when we were going to get our food. When it came, all the salmon was intermingled with the rest of the food on the same plate. There were some cucumber sandwiches and some sliced cucumbers just sitting on the plate on no bread because it was multi-grain and had seeds, NOT NUTS! The cucumber slices were next to salmon slices, also on no bread. Unfortunately, the salmon was touching just about everything on the plate, so those of us with restrictions couldn't eat most of the meal. Not only was this disappointing, it was also dangerous for people with life threatening food allergies. All in all, it was almost 2 hours for a simple afternoon tea. The lack of regard and respect for people with life threatening allergies is a disgrace. The atmosphere is nice but the service and food were terrible. Such a disappointing experience for a couple of our group who had never experienced a formal afternoon tea, and for those of us who regularly do afternoon tea.....we're just disgusted.

There were quite a flock of customers including us even late at night. The store was clean and was serviced by a young Sardar boy and he handled the army of crowd quite well, all by himself. We ordered a cup of cotton candy, biscoff rolled ice cream and a glass of rose and rabidi Falooda. The only reason I rate this place a star less is for the the semiya/vermicelli that wasn't sweet and kind of making the falooda tasting experience little bland. But overall this place was a great find for us. Parking at Oak Tree center is abundant and will never be a question of parking unavailability.

My first review still stands since it's only been a few months and I've been back a few more times…read more Each visit was great with no complaints. My kids love going here even though they aren't adventurous with flavors. BUT I finally tried their ice cream cake. You can order online if you want specific flavors and they usually have premade ones if you just walk in. I walked in and just ordered in person. It was a Just-Because-I-Want-It cake disguised as a belated birthday cake (which it was, but I got it because I wanted to try it). I got a 6" cake with taro and milk tea flavors inside and it came with two small cones of ice cream on top (I chose soursop and red bean for those). It is not what I expected. It is almost all ice cream with a very thin whipped cream type "frosting" on the outside - and sprinkles! - that made it look like a normal cake until you cut into it. No layer of actual flour-based cake inside. It's solid ice cream. Since it's perfectly sweet, it worked great! Also excellent for those who may have a wheat allergy (unless you get the cookie flavors) so now I'm considering one for my kid with food allergies (but not to milk). And that's the update to my review. Still a stellar place to get ice cream.

It's located on the 1st floor of the mall, near Macy's and Rain Forest Cafe. It's a small store front. You place your order and yes, there's pictures so you kinda know what the final order may look like before you place your order. An order cost $7.99 but you do get about 8 rolls of ice cream and unlimited toppings and the portion size can be shared for two. Note: I said it can be shared but not that anyone would want to after one bite. The cool part is you get to see them make your roll and how the ice cream went from liquid form to actually frozen ice cream roll. The staff is also very nice! They ask you what toppings you'd like and yes, you can take your time to decide. They don't rush you and they don't judge you either, haha. It seems to be a very popular place. I came on a Friday evening and was the third and I thought last customer ordering on the line. I ordered and paid and before I know literally a bus stop came by. There's about 20 people making a line afterwards. The wait was a bit long because there were many orders to make. There's only two staff and one of them was ringing up orders at the cashiers. I hope they have more employees for the weekend and summertime. This place can be a really big hit for mall goers. I will definitely come back to try other flavors ice cream roll and toppings!

The place definitely looks good and has a vibe to it. However, everything felt a bit overpriced for me. We went for brunch, and the first thing presented to us was a buffet-style option. I actually had to ask questions just to find out there was a regular brunch menu available. The drinks were honestly a bit absurd, ranging from $17 to $28. On top of that, the music was so loud that we could barely hear our waitress, which took away from the experience. The food itself was good, but nothing really stood out as amazing. Everything was just... good. I also mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday, but somehow everyone around us received a big birthday celebration, while we didn't. When I ordered dessert, I even had to ask for a candle because it wasn't offered, which was a little disappointing considering what we saw happening at other tables.I originally found this place on TikTok and wanted to see if the vibe matched what I saw online, but honestly, it didn't hit the same for me.
