The Best Juice Bars & Smoothies in Newark

MoDo Hawaii

★★★★★ 4.6 (750) • $$

"Came on a weekday to order a dozen donuts. Luckily there was only one person in front of me because the service is slow. Your items are hand dipped to order. As I was waiting for my order to be dipped, 3 people came in and thr person took their order. Since I was in a rush, this irritated me a bit but there was nothing I could do... the tip didn't seem to make any difference. In any case, the mochi donuts were good. I would reorder black sesame and lilikoi.As for ambiance, there isn't much to the ambiance. You just walk up to the register and order, then stand around and wait or stare at the bulletin board."

Ume Tea

★★★★☆ 4.2 (868) • $$

"I ordered blossom jasmine milk tea, and it was pretty good. Customer service was pretty good since drinks came out quick. The shop also had a lot of cute decorations so if you're in the area, definitely check it out. It's also one fit he few boba places that open late at night"

Tiger Tea & Juice - San Jose

★★★★★ 4.7 (623) • $$

"I've been coming in to this location for two years now consistently and I love it, I've especially been obsessed with their peach oolong milk tea! When I went in earlier today I realized their decor inside was all removed and their walk up order had become two kiosk tablets. I decided to ask the staff if there was a change in management recently to which they shared that there is. I hope this helps businesses and hope to see new changes in the future because I wouldn't want such a San Jose gem to disappear.I also asked if there store hours would be affected with the Chinese New Year celebrations to which they said it would not.I'll still be returning to this shop as long as their drinks maintain delicious! :)"

Ume Tea

★★★★☆ 4.2 (739) • $$

"I get Ume tea here and there and even through doordash. The prices are always so cheap and decently priced! Even though it is cheap it is very very good! They also have these cool "blind box" kind of cups called surprise cups which include some small stuffed animals. There are two kiosks that you can order from and a cashier as well. Ordering is super easy and quick. There is a order status TV inside as well. The area is very bright and pink! The place is as clean as I can see it with some seating."

Pop Up Tea, Coffee & Snacks

★★★★☆ 4.1 (688) • $$

"Pop Up Tea is hands-down my new favorite boba spot! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the coziest vibe and friendliest staff. Their drinks are delicious & Who doesn't love a boba shop that's Instagram-worthy and tasty? They got a area decorated with cute Christmas decor where you can take selfies The menu has such a fun variety, and everything I've tried so far has been amazing! Their house milk tea is perfectly sweet and creamy, and the egg pudding is also a great topping. I also love their avocado smoothie with ice cream so creamy, like a sip of happiness!What really makes Pop Up Tea stand out is the little details: thoughtful customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay and sip all day.If you're in San Jose and craving boba, you have to pop by Pop Up Tea. It's a total 10/10 experience every time!"

Yokee Milk Tea

★★★★☆ 4.3 (524) • $$

"As of today, order online here: https://pos.chowbus.com/online-ordering/store/14826.New online system for ordering and sudden pretty cups for hot drinks!"

Frozo's Frozen Yogurt

★★★★☆ 3.8 (627) • $

"Frozos has quickly become our favorite local fro-yo spot in Santa Clara, and I only wish we had discovered it sooner. They offer an impressive variety of toppings, far surpassing other yogurt places in the area. The cookie dough is my personal highlight; it's the fresh and delicious kind. Additionally, the cake batter fro-yo is my all-time favorite. The staff at Frozos are exceptionally kind and helpful. On one occasion, when I forgot to buy milk during my grocery run, they graciously allowed me to purchase a jug right from their store. Their kindness really sets them apart. While I haven't tried their bubble tea yet, it's definitely next on my list!"

Caffe Bene

★★★★☆ 3.9 (561) • $$

"I decided to come here after work to focus on writing an essay. I arrived around 4pm and instantly noticed that it was crowded. I started scanning the not-so-big place to see if I could sit anywhere. There was a long communal table and a free chair in front of a man, so I asked him if I could sit, and he kindly nodded. I put my stuff down and headed to the restroom (which was clean! Thank you!). I returned from the bathroom, saw an empty table, and moved since I was waiting for my husband to arrive. I tried to log into wifi, but there was no sign with a passcode, so I asked, and the manager said the wifi password is on the receipt after you purchase something. I told her I hadn't bought anything yet, returned to my space, and logged into my hotspot. I wasn't quite ready to order anything yet. About twenty minutes later, my boo arrived, and he ordered a coffee and sandwich while I stepped outside for a phone call. When I returned, I tried his coffee and was inspired to order the same thing. I asked him what it was, and he told me macchiato, so I went and ordered a macchiato and was presented with what looked like an itsy-bitsy cappuccino. I said um, I tried to order what my husband ordered, and this is not it. I looked towards him, and they said oh, that's a caramel macchiato. I asked if I could get that instead, and they said I'd have to pay for the new drink. I said it was an honest mistake, especially since my husband's first language is not English, and the employee said no, so I turned into a Karen and asked for the manager. The manager specified that it was my bad and couldn't do anything about it. I tried to explain about the honest mistake and him not speaking English well, so she then resorted to charging me the difference, which is fine.I honestly refrain from complaining or causing a scene; the thing is that tiny macchiato was like two tablespoons of espresso with some foam on top--tiny. It was bitty, and I would've drank it, but it tasted like tar, and I wasn't in the mood for tar.I paid the difference and got my new drink, and I swear you'd think that I had just asked them for twenty free drinks...they were so annoyed by me. I almost didn't want to drink the coffee because of the bad mojo, but I blessed my cup and drank it anyway. Instead of writing my essay, I am writing this review, and in this time, I've had to use the bathroom again. This time I noticed a sign on the hand dryer (no paper towels are provided) that says to not dry your hands with toilet paper. Um...I will dry my hands with TP if I want to."

Passion-T Snacks & Desserts

★★★★☆ 3.8 (589) • $$

"Cute little shop located in a strip mall. The store itself had a nice modern (albeit bright) interior. It was spotless on the day we visited. The lady manning the counter was super friendly and efficent. Popcorn Chicken: nicely fried bits of chicken that had a good crunch and good breading to meat ratio. The sauce added a nice punch. The hot here is not that very hot. For reference to my palate it was about the same as a Medium at Dave's Hot Chicken which made its presence felt but did not overwhelm the chicken. My son also ordered the coconut green waffle but I did not taste it. Ample parking and as many reviewers have noted right across the street from Costco."

Rose Tea Lounge - Fremont

★★★★☆ 4.2 (465) • $$

"This was such a pretty cafe! I was in dire need of a matcha anything in the area and chose to stop by here! They have kiosks at the front for you to place your order and then your number is called.It would have been nice to see someone and order, BUT also after traveling, it was nice to just get in and get out.I ordered their Dirty Matcha Latte with boba. I ordered with just 75% sweetness, but I probably could have gone down to 50%. This was still VERY good and even though it's very chilly and windy, it was still refreshing."

Tzone Winchester

★★★★☆ 3.7 (515) • $

"This is a great boba shop all around! The interior is nice and clean with several seating areas. You can order at a kiosk which makes it quick and convenient. There are plenty of great drink options available which makes it hard to choose! I got the chocolatea and it was exactly what I was looking for. It came with boba, chocolate drizzle, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream- so good! My partner got the secret garden tea which was refreshing and bold. I really like the ice they use too. Great spot!"

Rāw Superfood Café - Fremont

★★★★☆ 4.4 (351) • $$

"Pretty nice! Came here to try the matcha. The inside is fairly small, with a few tables for sitting and a counter where you order. They actually have quite a few options, but I only got the matcha when I came. It was really good. I want to return to try the açaí bowls and burgers some time."

Top Up

★★★★☆ 4.3 (365) • $$

"Boba and a few other snacks located at the very end of Webster in Neptune plaza. There's a parking area. Location is convenient. Service is friendly. There's self order screens. But you can also just order with a person in the front. Boba and popcorn chicken are good here. Tip: make sure to add boba if your drink doesn't come with it by defaultThe feel is casual and seems popular with youth"

Rabbit Rabbit Tea

★★★★☆ 3.6 (517) • $$

"You'll find then upstairs in a kiosk area. Service was fast, you ordered directly from a computer screen, they make your drinks to order."

8-Twelve Oriental Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (376) • $

"Very clean nice customer service one person very dry the other very upbeat Food was good and decent and a nice place for kids to hang out in the back ... seems like for teenagers..nice options for drinks and milkshakes and boba.. my son enjoyed it and I would definitely go back they are open a bit late than some"

Fresh and Best Cafe 2

★★★★☆ 4.4 (268) • $

"A nice neighborhood cafe that serves fresh juices and smoothies, sandwiches, and some Vietnamese items such as banh mi and vermicelli bowls.I stopped by for a quick dinner right before closing on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too busy. Though as I sat here and ate, I observed a steady stream of customers walking in and either ordering or picking up. I got the grilled pork banh mi without cilantro and jalapeños for $8.95. I wasn't too hungry, and the sandwich ended up being bigger than expected, so I had trouble finishing it. The grilled pork was tasty, and I impressed with the amount of pork that they stuff in here. Definitely felt like I was getting my value for a $9!I'd love to come back and try their other sandwiches or perhaps get a fresh juice or smoothie here."

Teaspoon

★★★★☆ 4.1 (295) • $$

"Liquid gold is really tasty, though the 50% sugar level still tastes really sweet. The boba also are not as Q as I'm used to. It's a solid spot given lack of other nearby options. They make the boba very fast and can get through a lot of drinks in a short amount of time."

Happy Lemon Premier

★★★★☆ 4.2 (274) • $

"Just here to rave about the matcha bubble waffles and the puff cream--absolute perfection! Crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. That's all."

Feng Cha - Milpitas

★★★★☆ 3.8 (269) • $$

"In a high traffic plaza with usual boba/cafe vibes and expected service. Decent amount of seating and little wait as there was a good amount of people.Pictured: matcha breeze. Requested 50% sweetness but still a bit too sweet for my liking. I would recommend going at least that or lower if you prefer a less sweet drink. The drink itself was an enjoyable texture being very creamy and not too thick. Can taste the matcha notes but not as strong as I would've liked given the amount of cream involved. Definitely a better than average boba shop that does a matcha blend good. 7.5/10 will come here occasionally!"

Lucky Tea

★★★★☆ 3.6 (289) • $$

"The Dirty boba Milk is super tasty, the bottle is really cute, and the service is very fast. I highly recommend it! There are many tea shops in this mall, but this one is quick and efficient. Great choice."

Jasmine Kocha

★★★★☆ 4.2 (201) • $$

"(Tom Cruise voiceover)The vibe is take me back to Katy Perry era fab cafe!Kathy warmly greeted me! Super nice!I confessed that my cyclic AMP levels were super low and needed her advice on the most potent caffeine elixir on ice! She said the Viet. mmhmm. Went with 2. Because 2 is one. One is none. See what happens in caffeine withdrawal delirium. Super refreshing and revitalizing! The mission is on.Also, got a Pandan Waffle. Extra crispy. Ladies, you know everything bad is deliciously good when deeply tanned and crispy. Would order everything again!Thanks, Kathy!Woohoo!"

Ume Tea

★★★★★ 4.5 (165) • $$

"First Time Visit - Great Find in Great Mall!We stumbled upon this adorable boba spot in Great Mall while craving something refreshing. The atmosphere was on point - cute boba place vibes and a grab-and-go kind of setup.What caught my attention was their separate kids menu with caffeine-free options - a big plus! The service was okay, taking about 10-15 minutes, which was reasonable considering the crowd.We ordered:- Brown Sugar Boba Oolong Milk Tea (75% sugar, less ice): Unfortunately, the oolong milk taste didn't quite meet my expectations. If you're new to oolong milk, be aware it's distinct from regular milk. However, the quality and brown sugar boba were amazing!- Ume Boba Milk Tea (light ice, bunny surprise cup, 70% sugar): I opted for this size for the surprise toy, which my toddler loved! The milk tea itself was okay, but not the best I've had.- Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk (light ice, whole milk, half sugar, medium size): Ordered from the kids menu for my 4-year-old, and she devoured it! Her absolute favorite!Overall, a great first experience, and we'll be back to try more!Recommended for families with kids!"

Oh My Boba

★★★★☆ 4.2 (188) • $

"We love Oh My Boba! The snacks and drinks are a perfect treat. The owner is always so nice! I personally love the Caramel Oreo Frappe. My daughter always gets the Peachy Lychee. They also just renovated the place and it looks nice!"

Brew Coffee

★★★★★ 4.8 (135) • $$

"Nice spot for studying or working. The staff were nice and the general atmosphere was calm and quiet (it never got too busy/crowded). I ordered the salmon bagel ($12) and hot milk tea ($6). At first, I was hesitant because it looked small from the outside, but I was pleasantly surprised. Will be back!"

Tea Fermata

★★★★☆ 4.1 (176) • $

"Everything is impressive here. People working here are SOOOO nice and friendly. It was a chilly day and he asked if it can be help if he closes the door for us. The female boss is also so nice to her employee. Clean place too! A Very homey family feeling type of boba place that has amazing drinks. We got the mango tea, taro drink, pot sticker with a lot of meat filling, the most delicious curry chicken rice bento and also the most delicious egg puffs I have ever had. Highly recommend. Support local milk tea place! Very convenient parking across the street too!"

Huckleberry's Breakfast & Lunch

★★★★☆ 3.9 (185) • $$

"I had lunch today at Huckleberry's. My lunch bunch is a group of retired ladies that has lunch together once a month. What an enjoyable experience this mont at Huckleberry's! Our server, Antonia was a delight. The food was delicious too! We will be back!"

Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (242) • $$

"I love a lot of their teas, especially the cantaloupe GT. The fact that they have pulp, if not real fruits in their drink is a win for me. Their pineapple GT is also delicious, w/ 0% sweetness is just perfect.They're on Snackpass so it's very convenient, particularly when they're busy. The store is average, very limited seating. Most people just order and wait outside. Everything is done via kiosk. Plenty of parking, either in the back or towards the front of the plaza."

TeaZenTea Fremont

★★★★☆ 3.7 (203) • $$

"My family and I have been going here for almost 2 years, their milk teas are really good and flavorful. So far I have tried their classic, rose, Thai, brown sugar, and Okinawa milk teas, my favorite is the brown sugar milk tea, I usually get it with 25% sweetness (I don't like my tea too sweet), 25% ice, with boba(which as is soft.Note: $1.00 extra charge for no ice, they have daily happy hour from 3:00pm-5:00pm all teas are discontinued. They have a reward program you can sign up for."

Teaspoon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (153) • $$

"I'll take 138 teaspoons, please.Teaspoon is a Bay Area original bubble tea chain which I grew to love in San Jose. They've rapidly expanded since those days and have even made to other states, including the Las Vegas area where I mostly hang out these days. I'm pretty sure they utilize a tea espresso system to keep the tea quality high, and I can't recall their tea flavor ever failing me ta any location.I had recently received a free birthday drink in my rewards account (pro tip: give them your personal info) and I had an errand to run nearby, so I figured it was convenient enough to use the offer. I tried to place a mobile order but it apparently was too confusing for me to use. Fortunately, the employees were nice and got my order entered, reward redeemed, and drink prepared in rapid succession.I usually gravitate toward milk tea, and Black Sugar Assam ($5.75, ~23 fl oz) looked newer to me within that category. It comes with honey boba included, which I usually eschew for caloric savings but didn't mind trying. The boba is as good as anyone makes it, with balanced chewiness and softness. You can tell that it's sweeter than non-honey-marinated boba too. As for the drink, the assam black tea flavor and the black sugar flavors are both prominent, and the drink has a good creaminess that doesn't linger on the palate. I forgot to request lower sugar, but the sweetness level was actually not too high.This location is standing-room only. I guess I don't mind that since I'm usually grabbing something to-go anyway, but if you want to hang out with your friends or pretend to study for a test, you may want to try elsewhere.I would actually love for Teaspoon to become as popular and as commonplace as Starbucks. They're a consistently good bubble tea spot and surely have enough variety to satisfy most boba fans."

Groovy Goose Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (144) • $

"A cozy cafe offering sandwiches, pastries, coffee, tea, and smoothies. We ended up getting the disco blush smoothie (peaches, raspberries, strawberries, bananas & orange juice), groovy greens smoothie (mango, spinach, kale, banana, spirulina, and apple juice), the sausage egg and cheese biscuit sandwich, and the hustle sandwich (arugula, fig jam, prosciutto on ciabatta). The smoothies were light and refreshing, the hustle was heavy on the fig jam, which overpowered the other flavors but was still delicious, and I absolutely loved the sausage egg and cheese biscuit, as simple as it was, the breakfast treat satisfying and made with tasty ingredients, even the bread itself was better than expected, light and fluffy, and slightly buttery. Service was more than sufficient, and our order was ready in less than 10 minutes. Also, even though there was a farmers market going on around the corner, we had no problem finding free parking nearby on a Sunday morning."

Ajs Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.2 (144) • $

"If you're looking for a quick coffee place to make your morning a little better, this is the place for you! I have always supported small businesses during these times but especially Aj's Coffee. And when I say "small" business, I mean..."small"! This place is a cute little drive thru shop in the parking lot of a 7/11. This alone has always caught my attention and made me curious about what kind of coffee they have to offer! I live pretty close to this area and will always pass by so when I finally decided to try it out, it has easily become one of my favorite little coffee spots! Their menu includes flavors like Red Velvet, Oreo, Matcha, their famous "Mad Ajs" and more! Today, I got the Iced Snowy Mocha Latte which is basically their take on a White Mocha and its really good. You can always adjust your coffee to your liking too as I asked for it with Oatmilk and added Caramel drizzle. I got a medium and this coffee takes me a while to drink (meaning it lasts me a long time) which I like so that I can happily drink it throughout the day! A medium is basically a large here compared to other places so keep that in mind!!! My cousin got the Iced Red Velvet Latte (also size medium) and our total came out to $13.75, not too bad imo for pretty big coffees. I really love this place because of how convenient it is, how quick they are, and how much variety they have on their menu. I want to try out so many things they have because their flavors are super eye catching. Their staff is always super sweet too. Definitely a must to stop by here if youre in the area!!!"

Lulu Poke

★★★★☆ 3.7 (185) • $$

"My go-to place for poke, especially for lunch to-go. I can order online and skip the line. Spicy scallops, shiitake mushrooms and kelp salad are my favorite items, and not very common elsewhere. Generous on the dressings too."

Shake Tea

★★★★☆ 4.2 (142) • $

"This is conveniently located inside the oakridge shopping mall . So you can grab a Bobba tea and do your shipping simultaneously. The person on the front counter took the order and I felt instantaneously the other person started getting it ready for us . So they were pretty quick. I like the reasonable prices and they have wide variety of flavors but I opted for the classic milk tea flavor and didn't like it . May be it was the wrong flavor that I chose . But it did have plenty of Bobba in it .I will try next time a different flavor and update here ."

Boba Queen

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (207) • $

"I know the other reviews said that it took forever but it only took 10 minute for me. Ordered the original black tea and Thai tea with boba. I would definitely be back for sure."

Mango and Mint

★★★★★ 4.5 (118) • $$

"I've visited most Vietnamese restaurants in Alameda, but many are not great. Coming from San Jose, where I've experienced excellent Vietnamese food. If I want good Vietnamese food in the East Bay, I go to Oakland. Mango and Mint opened last year, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I ordered the Lemongrass pork vermicelli bowl. The bowl has grilled pork, vermicelli noodles, lettuce, mint, cilantro, cucumber, jalapenos, fried shallots, peanuts, and fish sauce. The meat quality was flavorful and not super fatty, like in some places. The fish sauce you pour into the bowl before mixing everything up is delicious. I had their BBQ pork banh mi recently, and it was great, too. They stuff their banh mi a lot compared to other places, but it's also expensive. An average banh mi in Oakland is around $6-8 compared to $12 at Mango and Mint. Their vermicelli bowl is at the right price point, so I recommend ordering this."
