Wish Pier Village

Beautiful new store at Pier Village, very elegant inside. Got two tables and few more chairs. Very relaxing to sit inside or outside and have a drink. They have a long list of drinks, variety includes fruit tea, smoothies, sparkling, and couple of snack items. Their bubbles/boba are soft, goes really well with the drinks. I tried the popular, colorful fruit tea. Very refreshing, delicious drink with small chunks of different fruits.

Nice place. Staff seemed pleasant. I walked in and asked if they sell real fruit “SMOOTHIES”. Shorter Hispanic gentleman and 2 other staff members said definitely. No powder. Great. I ordered a mango SMOOTHIE but received a mango sherbert. I politely asked if I could get my proper order. The gentleman condescendingly said “I asked you two times of it was sherbert”. I walked in and first thing out of my mouth was SMOOTHIE. Why would I bring up a sherbert. What is that anyway!? He refused to do order right never gave me my money or product.

I was there on 07/23/2023 around 6:00 PM and the three people working there demonstrated extremely poor service. The girl taking orders gave me attitude when I asked a simple question and looked extremely impatient. Additionally, my drink took about 20 minutes to make. I understand that it’s busy in this location since it’s close to the boardwalk, and they had a lot of customers at the time I was there, but the people behind the counter were not focused at all. The girl and the two guys were all goofing around, laughing, and taking their sweet time to prepare everyone’s drinks. Not to mention they were doing it in plain sight and the customers waiting for their orders looked visibly annoyed at them but nobody spoke up. Lastly, when the girl switched with one of the guys at the register, he seemed unfocused on taking orders and was texting on his phone. This is unacceptable. You need to either re-train your employees or get new ones. You will lose a lot of money and it’s a shame considering how much business your location gets.

The boba was so delicious. I love the strawberry green tea with boba, it’s a must have! The environment and interior was very nice and the workers are very friendly. Definitely will come back again.

I had a strawberry sherbet with tapioca and it tasted like chemicals aka not very good. Also after drinking it i had a bad stomach ache. My brother got the same drink, and had the same reaction. Would not recommend this drink. However other drinks like the mango smoothie were very good.

The guy at the counter 8/6/23 was not only incompetent but also disrespectful. I asked for the coldest drink they got, and he replied “everything is cold.” Then, I asked for water after I placed my order and he said they don’t have water. By nj law, you’re supposed to provide water if asked. Then two other customers asked for water, and he gave them water. What a total jerk!

Sad to say It wasn’t the greatest experience since We ordered 2 large drinks and they gave us a large and a medium. When we mentioned it, they weren’t accommodating to make my friend the large and pay for the difference. Instead, they just made him feel terrible. Drinks weren’t that good either. I try to be fair in my review but the customer service that we got was not the best.

SO good. i come down to visit my boyfriend here multiple times a year, and this is the best boba spot around. pearl milk tea is so good!!! boba well made as well, great flavor and chewy, not hard. as an ex- bobarista i can say that I LOVE IT. staff is friendly too! i’m sad it’s only open thur-sunday tho!

Finally, a GOOD boba tea close to home!! Usually go to Marlboro Mr. Wish or around Edison. This spot does not disappoint : loyal customer since day 1!

Great place to sit and grab a drink out of the sun . They have clean tables and bathroom. The drinks are delicious and the staff was super kind. If you aren’t looking for a typical bubble tea drink, they do make fruit ice tea drinks which can be adjusted sugar/ice to your liking. Would recommend stopping by on your way to the beach!
