Happy National Bubble Tea Day! Here are the Best Places in NJ for Boba

If you’re unfamiliar with bubble tea or boba tea – it’s a popular tea drink accompanied by chewy tapioca balls that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. I don’t know when I first started drinking bubble tea, but I’ve been obsessed with it ever since.

Today we are acknowledging National Bubble Tea/Boba Tea Day by compiling a list of the BEST places to get this popular drink. And yes, we are aware there is a current boba shortage. The shortage will not last forever, so be sure to put these places on your “to visit” list.
