AKIHI Bubble Tea

Abby was super amazing! Thank you for the excellent service.
The milk tea I had tasted a bit bitter but I learned that is how the type I ordered is supposed to taste.The staff were very efficient and helpful! Their other drinks are pretty amazing as well!

Expansive menu, can't go wrong with anything. Everything is pretty instagrammable. Tried the oreo taro slush, mango slush with strawberry pop( basically bubbles filled with strawberry) and the sticky rice bubble tea. Also tried the sausage which was good, there are 3 heat levels aside from not spicy. Need to comeback and try more of the menu

Unique flavors in both milk tea and fruit teas. Loved their oolong peach tea. They have variety of jellys too.
Street parking available. Fast service. They provide wifi so you can work from the cafe.

What a beautiful place!!!
I love how they’ve an option for ordering in-person as well as using the screen to place orders!

We had our taro milk tea with lychee jelly, and Mint milk tea with lychee jelly!! (weird, ik)

But finally a place where i can get mint flavored bubble tea!!!

The people working were very friendly.

Have varieties of drinks to choose from.

Any drink I've ever gotten here is delicious!! They are pretty quick with prepping your order, even when it's super busy. I never mind waiting though because they have such cute cat stuff everywhere, so I just shuffle around looking at all the stuffed animals & trinkets/ tchotchkes! 😻🙀

I love going to kittea because they serve the best tea and they never fail to accommodate dietary/allergies. I travel from old bridge to highland park just for the bubble tea because it is just that good. I highly recommend trying this place out. The guys are super polite and I couldn’t ask for better service. Sometimes they do get busy but the service is always top notch as every business should be. Here are some pretty and delicious drinks, rose milk tea is my favorite. I recommend 😋

Wow wow wow. I ordered a black milk tea and the fried chicken via doordash and it was the best decision I made all week! Even if it was delivered, the chicken was still hot, flavorful, and moist. The black milk tea was perfect and ice cubes all intact. I'm 110% getting this combo again!

After trying several Bubble Tea places, Kit Tea so far has the best tasting teas. I ordered the Blueberry Peach tea with mango popping pearls and it always tastes delicious. I want to try other drinks, I just wish they had a little description of what's in each tea.

Small place but the bubble tea was good.
I tried the different versions of Taro and it was delicious. They give you an option regarding sugar and ice levels. You can also order from the small kiosk computer thing in the entrance. Good knowledgeable servers as well!

Update: OH! they've rebranded and reopened! Yeah they're they best, great place for bubble tea and popcorn chicken.

Giving 1 star review because it looks like the place is closed... love this place though.

Go to Akihi in Metuchen or New Brunswick instead.

The popcorn chicken at this place is on point. I get it medium spicy. It's the best in this area even compared to Red Onion.

The taro milk tea is a hit or miss. It seems like it's made sometimes with taro chunks (delicious and excellent) and sometimes with powder (eh).

The decor is cute and inviting, and the staff are cheery.

I've been here twice and got the taro and the rose milk teas. they both were quite good and flavorful. I also really like that they offer a lot more traditional Asian favors like sticky rice and Jasmine.

I look forward to slowly going through their menu!

Probably my fav bubble tea place…. Ever. The owner is really friendly. The crew is efficient. Order ahead because they are BUSY. I also adore all the cat decors, hey it’s kittea right?

They serve The Best Taro Latte in the area. I tried almost every bubble tea shop in Highland Park and New Brunswick area and no other shop comes close to their service and taste. They Rose latte is great as well. I loved almost all the drinks I have tried here.

Boba Drinks were very good. Especially loved their packaging, very take out friendly.

KitTea has a super cute interior with a very direct, utilitarian approach to ordering. You're greeted by 3 massive kiosks in the front that allow you to order without having to interact with anyone (an introvert's heaven). They offer what I believe to be top 3 in quality for bubble tea in the Edison/Highland Park area with a lot of unique signature drinks.

My go-to order here is ice cream milk tea with pudding and a lower sugar percentage, since the 1 scoop of ice cream is sweet enough to compliment the tea.

Went here for bubble tea with my partner. They have a good amount of different flavors and different types of drinks (in case you're not into bubble tea). I got the sticky rice milk tea with popping mango boba with regular ice and regular sugar-- it was delicious! Will definitely come back again.

Also they have ordering kiosks to place your orders on if paying by card and they'll text you when your order is ready which is what we did so we could wait outside. Cash payment is also accepted but you have to place your order at the counter.

Well designed bubble tea shop, reasonably priced, and great flavors. Shop owner always coming up with new flavors unlike the well-known bubble tea brands. I strongly recommend you to try it yourself.

My go to bubble tea spot. Quality ingredients and the ability to control sugar and ice percentages for almost every drink. They also sell random knickknacks on the side that are pretty cute? I got a porcelain bunny for 1$.

Oh and don't sleep on their popcorn chicken. Also, this is a bubble tea spot but seriously try the chicken! And if you are into spicy food make sure you get the spicy variation.

Amazing! I love walking here it's always worth the walk. I recommend the black knight and taro milk tea. I paid about $15 for two drinks plus tips and tax, $18. Decent pricing!
