I am addicted! I continue to visit bubble tea cafes throughout Northern Jersey but Urban Leaf still is my favorite. The tapioca is always cooked to perfection. Not supper gummy nor hard. It’s a great family owned cafe. Michelle and Victor are such wonderful people! This is my go to spot! Totally recommend! Peach, passion fruit, taro, strawberry lemonade, and sparkling lemonade are my go-tos.

The lady was nice and inside had a lot of anime stuff.. it had a cool vibe.. No tables or chairs when I visited.. the taro tea tasted good!

I asked for an oreos frappe and was so tasty.I recommended it if you wants something refresh and sweet

Purple cloud was awesome with the ube ice cream. Loved the bubble tea. Staff couldve explained the menu more since we were first timers. Had to guess which waffle was good from the other.

Will definitely be going back! I got two boba teas which were passion fruit tea with lychee jelly and mango tea with mango popping boba. Both were good but I personally liked the passion fruit one much better, especially with the jelly. I also got the spam musubi. I don’t like spam so my expectations were low but it was actually sooo good. And to top it all off, everything was actually reasonably priced. Bubble tea is usually more on the expensive side (especially since it’s so trendy these days) but I got the 24oz cups for less than $5.10/10 would recommend

Good quality bubble tea is largely measured by boba quality in my opinion, and I found the boba here to be bland and lacking in texture. Wouldnt recommend.

Yummy bubble tea on a hot day, and a cake pop too 🥵🧋😋

Tasty bubble tea. Had the mango. Spam musing interesting. The down was good but the rice and nori were meh. But it’s really primarily a bubble tea place so I’m rating the tea

I dont understand why when I pay with my card they ask if you want to leave a 15% tip. I am not being served at a table, I am just picking up a tea. A tip jar is fine, but it feels kind of mandatory when they turn their computer screen towards you every single time and give you an option to give a 15,20,or 25 percent tip. Its rude to assume that every customer wants to tip 15, 20, or 25 percent. No other establishment does this. I could see if I was sitting at a table and being served then of course I would leave a 20 percent tip. You guys are taking advantage of your customers. A tip jar is more appropriate. If you keep doing this you will lose your loyal customer base.

The place is cute and quaint. I drove 1 hr away specifically for their ube pillows and they had run out. The pandesal and ube ice cream was a cute idea and it was good. Their menu is small but I guess much better if you are in that area to enjoy it. They have items for sale in the store like face masks, shirts etc. The customer service was quick, attentive and to the point. Overall Id like to give it another chance in the future hopefully I can critique them fully when the pillows are back.

Love this place! The owner is super nice. Bubble tea, waffles, and hot tea are always great. The cafe has a cozy atmosphere. They also sell gifts, snacks, tshirts, and other cool items you can browse after ordering. Very happy to have them in town.

This place is great! Its a rare treat for me to go out and find a place like this. It has a very modern and clean look to it. The staff is friendly and the Nori Bowl is awesome! The flavor and unique blend of the sauce with spam and rice is just perfect. I should have ordered 3 bowls it was that good! The bubble tea was also good, my go to is honeydew. If Im in the area again, I would definitely stop by and get bubble tea and try a new meal.

Everything on their menu is awesome . You should definitely try their is the spam bowl and brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba . The staff is always welcoming and patient when taking our orders .

Good waffle. All the desserts are little too sweet. But if they reduced the sweetness, I can see myself visiting again

Great music taste. Food comes out quick and their Spam Nori Bowl is to die for. The bubble waffles are an amazing dessert based well. Staff is extremely friendly and leave a great impression

I have found my new ice cream place. They are delicious. And Ube ice cream has become my favorite. The softness of the waffles pairs well with the ice cream. Better than the usual hard waffle cone. I dont have pictures of the meal as I too excited at the first taste and just finished it all lol

They have the best beverages and snacks!

Love getting Sakura boba tea.. no other place has this flavor tea

Im so happy to finally have a good bubble tea place in the area. Im especially happy that this cafe also serves yummy bubble waffle desserts (with Ube or mango ice cream), spam musubi, and French pressed tea leaves! Theyve only been open a week, but everything Ive tried to date has been absolutely delicious.The owners are exceptionally nice and friendly, and personally check with you to make sure youre enjoying your meal. The interior decoration is very Brooklyn-esque, and great for reading a book while sipping on your tea, or chatting with friends while eating your bubble waffles and ice cream.While you might have to wait a few extra minutes for your order when its busy as with most other establishments, its absolutely worth the wait. This cafe has very quickly turned into my go-to place for a nice snack (Spam Musubi or Spam Nori Bowl), tea (French pressed hot peach mango tea), bubble tea (taro!), or dessert (Oreo bubble waffle with Ube ice cream + Nutella drizzle + powdered sugar).I highly recommend trying out this new establishment. I know Ill keep coming back!

I ordered a large thai tea with boba and ube ice cream bowl. It was very delicious! The staff was very professional and polite. Would come again.

Awesome establishment. I come here for the bubble teas. The atmosphere is great, place is clean, 4 stars only because it’s a bit pricey, but still worth it for a nice treat.

The bubble tea was amazing! The pearls were hand made in front of me-never frozen. It was the best bubble tea I ever had! I had the Strawberry Sakura-with fresh strawberry purée. Definitely coming back to try some of the baked goods.

Ube Oreo Taro slush is my favorite drink :)

Great spot for Boba, Leaf Tea, Spam Musubi, and Bubble Waffles! Many of my fave comfort foods in one spot! Just missing Poke Bowls from their menu but they have a great Spam Nori Bowl. They also have harder to find asian ice cream flavors like Mango, Green Tea, Red Bean, Ube, etc. They do everything on their menu well. So happy they opened here in Nutley, esp. since Babo Tea House in Montclair closed down. Free Wifi too. I would love to see couches and comfy lounge chairs though. Please consider it in the near future. Definitely coming back again and bringing friends.

Different and refreshing menu that is set apart from the norm. Always a treat.

Their waffles are very fluffy qnd ixe cream is delicious. Everything is pretty affordable

Their bubble tea is so good I recomend trying the Honey drew. The place is so calming and have t shirts to buy. If your looking for a good boba place I recomend Urban Leaf.

My go to drink is the coconut ginger bubble milk tea, and for a treat, a chocolate bubble waffle with Nutella and powdered sugar. My bf and I plan to try the whole menu in due time! Prices are decent and when COVID is over I hope we can dine in.

Great dessert place, free wifi, some savory options for like soba noodles and spam nori bowls. Decent prices, good quality

Fab Fun tastings to send as gifts + wonderful waffles w/added ice cream and flavors plus bubble drinks!!!

I am newly addicted to this place for a couple months now. My fav is the brown sugar milk tea. I think about getting one every day of the weekend. Staff is friendly and place is clean. I am always wanting to try different flavors, but I am always craving my goto bubble tea. I understand the whole tip thing with the credit cards because it not uncommon at all. The credit card machine/app asks the merchant for a tip, so of course the staff has to ask the question for the transaction to go through. It is not mandatory to give a tip, and no one in the staff makes you feel that way. Staff is very friendly. If you have a problem with them asking for a tip because the screen is asking, then you might as well avoid most places or pay cash because this is not an uncommon practice for businesses. I do not always give a tip, but whenever I can I enjoy supporting our local small businesses especially during these hard times. The only reason Im giving 4/5 stars is because I feel there should be a rewards program in place. I would definitely visit more if I could look forward to a free drink after so many visits.

I had the chocolate bubble waffle which hit the spot for a nice quick dessert.

The bubble tea is not real bubble tea it’s very water down. Also asking customers to tip for a drink that cost four dollars is very odd. I give tip on my own will please don’t ask it’s rude

Very homey/urban atmosphere. Wide selection of teas. They can ice your tea but its a secret menu item.

Great service, very fast and very tasty. I recommend any bubble tea fan to try their bubble waffles. Would go there again.

Noodles are great 👍

Very cute place and friendly customer service. I would have loved to dine in! Cannot wait to do so.

Some of the best tasting bubble tea, always consistently awesome! Also excellent snacks!! And kind staff!! Thanks !!

The tea is watered down but tastes good. I recommend the original and matcha

I really like the service, and there food is delicious! And it’s at a very reasonable price!

Urban Leaf had become one of my go tos for my sweet tooth. Excellent dessert options that are the right portion size. My husband an I love the bubble waffle and the combination of toppings it comes with. The bubble tea is great too!

I love Urban Leaf Cafes boba teas, theyre the best in NJ! They have a great menu of yummy eats as well. Bubble waffle with ice cream, spam musubi and ooooooh their mango delight on a hot summer day is bomb diggity. Super friendly staff too!

You definitely want to come try this place!

LOVE THIS SPOT ❤️I searched for bubble tea places in the past and was mostly led to franchises that were just mediocre and a huge disappointment (the teas are either washed out or way too sweet and the boba mushy)Then a friend told me about Urban Leaf and I’m forever grateful!He recommended trying the FROZEN UBE OREO which I absolutely loved. Its a blend of Oreo cookie and Ube (a purple yam from the Philippines) whose flavors compliment each other in a light and refreshing way. Not too sweet which I loved and the boba had the perfect chew.Other than the Ube Oreo theres a variety of options including a Thai tea, which I’m looking forward to trying next.They also have bubble waffles on the menu which I hear is the latest, must try food craze. Yum!Definitely looking forward to a return visit and glad I found my go-to bubble tea spot!

Service is amazing and food is spectacular. 10/10 recommend !!!

Tasty bubble tea and friendly staff!

Wish they were open every day!!

Absolutely love their stuff

Great bubble tea, and they have spam musubi! Yum.

I was thrilled that they offer a 24 oz. bubble milk tea option (for $6.50). Really needed my fix and they were the closest, according to GPS. I usually take mine with zero or 30% sugar, less ice. For this one I ordered 30% sugar, less ice.It was the most diluted bubble milk tea I have ever had. Lacked tea, lacked milk...I wondered for a moment if it would have tasted better with more sugar, but I have never had more than 30% sugar elsewhere and never had taste issues from the usual chains (Kung Fu Tea, Vivi, Gong Cha etc).

This place is like a hidden gem since it’s a bit off the main street with no big sign or anything. I found out about it from a friend. Ever since then, I’ve recommended this place to everyone i know. The staff are super friendly. The food/drinks are great. Highly recommended!

Low key and yummy 😊

The waffles are amazing! Definitely worth a try. They have a unique texture that I personally feel like adds to the taste. The Thai bubble tea was okay. It tasted like a slightly watered down Thai Iced Tea with tapioca. The iced coffee was just plain terrible. It tasted like the bitterness of coffee mixed with water. No wonder its not on the menu.

It’s very good boba but it is a little expensive

Cute spot to hang out and enjoy a range of Asian snacks or desserts from bubble tea to egg waffles. We came for the bubble tea but I did not expect to find things like spam musubi which I loved. Everything tasted great, would definitely come back. The way the store was laid out is not really meant for bigger groups, not a whole lot of tables, but they definitely have room for it.

The bubble tea here is amazing, the waffles are also excellent. Its not like a breakfast waffle you may be expecting, I would say its definitely more of a desert. You can get it with iced cream and toppings. Bottom line everything Ive tried here has been great.

I am a regular at this café. The food and drinks here are very good :D. Although they’re a little pricy, it’s worth it! The staff are so sweet as well. Definitely a nice place to visit if you like bubble tea. :)

Highly recommend, Ube ice cream was amazing. Make sure you try the Oreo bubble waffle and mango delight!

Very nice, cool, chill place. It emits good vibes. Got the Oreo bubble tea and it was wonderful. Id definitely recommend going to this place.

First time stopping into Urban Leaf. Ive passed by several times and always wanted to go in. With today (April 30th) being National Bubble Tea Day, I knew I had to finally stop in. Excellent tasting drinks. Very clean cafe with lots of open seating. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Definitely looking forward to returning.

Very spacious cafe, quite a bit on the menu but not many vegan options. I ended up getting a ice fruit peach green tea which was too sweet for me.

Such A nice environment and delicious coffee! Super friendly staff, a really nice place to have a coffee in peace. I love the unique menu and the place is SPOTLESS.

I really like this spot a lot. Very chill spot with great boba and even their food tasted pretty good. And the staff is super nice as well.

Love this place. Cozy coffee and tea sit down. Come here regularly with friends and kids. Awesome service, beverages and snacks.

Great boba.

It’s wonderful to have an “Asian dessert” around the area, otherwise I might have to drive to Fort Lee. Their original waffle is soooo good!! I wish I could just sit and had them keep serving me that!!

Bubble tea heaven

Good treats!

Very disappointed that the bobbles in my bobbles tea are not fresh and actually hard and tasteless.

My favorite is the HoneyDew Bubble Milk tea with lychee jelly.Don’t forget to try the Bubble Waffle, Spam Musubi or the Mango Delight

Pretty fun little place

Definitely listened and delivered on the bubble tea selections. Spoiled by other spots and their flavors but they got a solid selection. People are polite and everyone accommodating

Ube ice cream 👌🏻 10/10 would recommend

Very nice and friendly staff. Food was delicious but expect log waits of they have a lot of order before yours.

I love the bubble tea

A very cute cafe! Amazing service and amazing food! I would definitely recommend!

Great spot to get a cup of coffee, bubble tea, and small bites. The wifi was fast and clean bathroom for you digital nomads.

Great little cafe. Waffles are delicious. Enjoyed nice variety of teas.

Waffle was neither crispy nor hot. Pan de sal tasted old. Ice cream was good.

Tried the Spam Nori bowl and it was pretty delicious. A new way to eat spam for me. Definitely worth a try.

I have to say, once Urban Leaf Cafe opened up, it has become a good go-to cafe for me, especially since it satisfies much of my Asian-style cafe cravings!For their bubble tea, I have tried their Taro and Ube Oreo to my satisfaction. The boba itself had a good texture and was prepared well.They also have a nice selection of hot tea, which is good to get if you will be there for a little while to sip on while you are catching up on work or with friends.I have also tried their food, the Spam Masubi and Spam Nori Bowl. The sauces they put on give everything a nice flavor and I feel both dishes are made well and good to have if you are hungry and do not mind eating some spam!My favorite thing to get here and share with friends are their bubble waffles. They offer many different toppings on the bubble waffle and their style definitely rivals ones I have had in NYC (if not this one is better thus far) so it is great that this is so close to where I live. I have already brought other friends to this spot and they have been satisfied by the bubble waffle as well!Overall, with good food, satisfying drinks, yummy desserts, and a simplistic and clean ambiance inside, come give this cafe a shot!

Food was awsome. Staff was friendly.

Amazing. Beautiful atmosphere, friendly employees and the most amazing waffles and coffee ever. Don’t miss!!

Excellent selection of tea and coffees, comfortable atmosphere, immaculately clean, and reasonable prices. Highly recommend a visit!

Friendly staffs. Loved their mango delight.

Great place to just sit and relax

This place gives off a nice whole in the wall vibe, with its welcoming environment. The smell of waffles hugs you and the staff is very good at greeting you. In all honesty, I only ever had the boba and the flavored iced green tea there with tapioca but for a nice local place. I definitely would recommend at least trying the place out for yourselves. The staff are pretty good at conversations and genuinely seem like they actually like talking. Anyways to sum it up, the iced green tea is really smooth and light but the place itself is worth checking out if you are local.UPDATE: Still an awesome place and the staff is still awesome. But the one noteworthy highlight, that Ube Oreo Bubble Tea is so goooood. Makes me wanna get one everytime i think about it.

Great food and drinks! Seems family owned and they are all a pleasure!

This has quickly become one of my favorite places to go in the area! My absolute must have is the bubble waffle which is Hong Kong style. The batter they use is so much lighter and fluffy but the best part is that you can customize it as an oreo bubble waffle! I also usually get it with nutella drizzle and ube ice cream! I pair that with a hot tea, which comes in a french press. I recommend the tropical passionberry green tea! Definitely give it a try!

Bubble tea is pathetic. Looks like they use stale or used tapioca seeds

Awesome place, theyve made a new regular today.

Amazing spot super friendly staff and great service

Highly recommend. Their spam misubi is a must if youre hungry.

Yummy mango ice cream!

Awesome drinks and snacks 🖤

They used old bubble tea boba in my tea .

Delicious food and friendly service.

I will be back here again

Try the bubble tea
