utepia — Restaurant in New Brunswick

i rarely write reviews but this place is so good that i must write one. i first tried their brown sugar boba back in 2021 and i was honestly blown away. it's a basic drink, but something about it differentiated them from the rest of the boba shops that also has brown sugar boba. every time i come here, their boba pearls are always perfect (not mushy, soft, chewy, perfectly sweet). i've also tried different drinks such as their taro puff cream, rose milk tea, and matcha creme brulee, and it did not disappoint. i believe they're reasonably priced too, compared to other boba shops where a large boba would cost almost $10. as someone who has tried most of the boba places in central jersey, i can say this place is definitely one of the top (in my opinion)...

I went today at exactly 12 PM and the bobas werent ready yet so I couldn't get my hands on the brown sugar milk. Also this drink itself they said will take 20 mins to make, and unfortunately I didn't have that much time to wait for it today, so I went with a different drink. I got the rose milk tea and I quite frankly enjoyed it! It's aromatic but not too overwhelming where if feels like you are drinking milk with soap (believe me I had that experience before from a different place); it was subtle but not too faint that the floral flavor wasn't there. It was also not too creamy nor too sweet, so everything is in a perfect balance! Would definitely go here again and hopefully next time I can try the...

The most real fruit I've had in a boba drink since the time I ordered a grapefruit tea in Tokyo in 2005 and they gave me the most pure, unsweetened grapefruit juice and pulp.

I ordered the grapefruit passion four season tea (light ice, light sugar) and it's perfect. Extremely flavorful without being too sweet or with no sweetness at all. There's tons of actual grapefruit and slices of lime.

My spouse got mango passion oolong and there's just chunks of mango and fresh mango juice in it. It's very sweet and overpowers the tea somewhat but that's just me, they're happy with it.

My only wish is that the dessert menu was more...
