32 Best Bubble Tea in Boston

“Very cutesy inside. They had one person at the front (seems common at boba places). I got a coconut smoothie. And a brown sugar latte boba with nondairy milk. I think it was almond (I said almond or oat whatever they have). After they did tell me they are out of coconut but they can make an avocado smoothie that tastes like vanilla and everyone should try it. So I decided for that one. It was really creamy and really nice. Good choice. I didn’t end up drinking my foam from my latte though I just took it out. Because I want sure if it was also made with almond milk like my drink or if it had dairy. But I am not sure if I was clear on no dairy in my drink. So I just took it out. But I haven’t seen much espresso latte bobas. This was really good.“

“Pretty inside with the faux florals. They even have an offering in their cafe. It took a little while to get my boba but there was a few people in front of me. The brown sugar almond milk boba was really good. I drank it before I even got home to be honest. The salt and pepper popcorn chicken was one of the best popcorn chickens I had. I enjoyed it. I wish the staff was more trained in dairy allergies. They couldn’t tell me with certainty that certain things had dairy or not. I figured what I usually get other places would be okay here.“

“This place is great! I was looking for a cafe with water views in Boston and this seemed like a good place. I traveled all the way from to other side of the city to come here and it was totally worth it. It has a very relaxing atmosphere with lots of places to sit and do work or hang out with friends. It also has outdoor seating.

The tea is great too! If you don't like bubble tea they have lots of options without the bubbles. They also have some great snacks available.“

“I love this place! So quiet so peaceful it's never slammed like some of the other places and I don't know why. I can't believe people are waiting in line for like 15 min at some super duper crowded places that make me feel claustrophobic. I like to get a tea here and chill on my laptop for a bit, sit by the bay window on these nice wood bar tables. It's doesn't have that super slick all white gloss modern look, it's more like old school faux brick, wood and eclectic Victorian vibe.

They have a nice selection of different teas - for example several different oolongs which I LOVE. They don't have it in milk or fruit tea form though which is a bummer.

The milk tea is great. Their boba is on the smaller, slightly more al dente side which I enjoy a lot personally. The tea was quite sweet and had good tea flavor.

Their products are so affordable - it's a breath of fresh air. It's literally 30 percent cheaper than some of the other Newbury tea shops and they honestly taste similar to me.

I'm a fan! It's tough competition - I think there are like 9 boba tea shops all up and down Newbury now but this one is a hidden treasure if you want peace and quiet.“

“Just as great as China town in Phil“

“This place feels like home! First time I go into a restaurant in Boston and don’t get charged for using the bathroom. This gesture gave me a sense of community and care. There after I ordered a peach Boba Tea by recommendation of the owner. It was so satisfying and delicious. I will definitely go back and bring my friends and family!“

“Amazing place! As soon as you step inside, the smell of tea brewing washes over you. I can’t describe how good it smells! I ordered a brown sugar fresh milk tea and my aunt ordered a hot honey rose tea. We both loved our drinks! I also ordered a Nutella cronut, which was warm and freshly made. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We were also able to get street parking. Overall, we had a great experience! Just be aware that there’s no seating inside.“

“The teas are so clean tasting, you can tell it’s the real deal from the first sip. The multi floral honey tea, passion fruit green tea, and pineapple green tea were all so delicious. I could drink them all day!“

“Decent boba in the area with multiple locations. Tried the brown sugar with tapioca balls and did almond milk. Pretty good. Also had the deep roasted oolong with almond milk and the honey boba. It was honestly similar to the regular boba. And they were out of the brown sugar and tapioca balls. Maybe they run out later in the day. Order on the kiosk and it wasn’t that long of a wait to get it. I personally wouldn’t stay. I’d rather get take out. It’s pretty small with limited seating.“

“I often visit this Gong Cha because it's run by Vietnamese staff, and honestly, I feel like the drinks here are made better than at other Gong Cha locations. The flavors are well-balanced, not too sweet, and always consistent. It’s become my go-to for milk tea!“

“Drink is delicious! Staff really helpful, love this place. My fav milk teA brand! Brown sugar boba milk tea is must try!!!!“

“Teazzi is a boba shop serving multiple types of Asian flavors, with unique toppings such as oats.

The service is fast, there isn't really much seating but there is a Beard Papa shop also sharing the space so you can pickup other desserts as well.

We tried the Honey Amber Oolong Tea. The tea was good, though the oolong didn't really have a strong oolong taste. The flavors are just as good as the other locations though.“

“I enjoy boba quite a bit so when my friends said we should check out Gong Cha I was excited. There are so many great tea base choices and the additions and toppings are also vast in variety. Fast service and you can order ahead online or at their kiosk or at the counter. Made fresh to order too. Quite authentic and I hope they continue to spread across North America. Go here if you want bubble tea.“

“This place is amazing. The boba tea is nice and cold and is SO refreshing. They have many other things to offer too! Lots of food items were on display on the menu and they made my mouth water. The people who work there are also probably the kindest people I ever met at a business! This place is definitely a go to for every boba fan, tea fan, and just people who love amazing food. Very much recommended.“

“The place might not look appealing on the outside but the food is awesome! One of the best places in the Downtown Boston to grab a business lunch.“

“I ordered the Pho King and it was super delicious!!! The broth was flavorful and seasoned, the beef was tender, and the vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. All the flavors came together to make a superb bowl of comfort. A shout out to the server, CHUCK, who answered my questions and provided thoughtful recommendations. I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!“

“honestly best bubble tea i have ever had and found a great flavor for my nonbubble tea drinker. only complaint was one macaroon was rather stale. just so grateful they were open late for dessert time.“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“Banh Mi Huong Que is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant located at 696 Washington Street in Boston. Their main specialty is bánh mì, though they also serve pho and other traditional dishes. I ordered the chicken bánh mì, and it was excellent, the bread was perfectly crispy, and the chicken and vegetables were flavorful. It reminded me of the bánh mì I used to eat in Hanoi. The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend it !!!“

“I come here all the time and boba never disappoints. I’ve tried many others in Boston but this consistently has the best quality and best price. The woman who works here in the evenings is wonderful and takes her time to craft drinks that are perfect. Try the thai iced lime green tea!“

“Drink is delicious! Staff really helpful, love this place. My fav milk teA brand! Brown sugar boba milk tea is must try!!!!“

“Really nice bubble tea and snack shop — I heard it’s super popular with the younger crowd. The girls working there were super friendly and patient, and they took the time to walk us through all the different snacks. The bubble tea was great, and the snacks & cakes were pretty delicious too“

“we love this place love the owner he's so nice. and interactive. music is great so is the food and bobba.“

“Very Professional and out going place the food is always so well done and cooked. Also it has a good outside view for when parking your car. Plus always beautiful woman jogging all around <3 nothing better then eating good pizza and seeing most beautiful woman of Boston jogging“

“Cozy place with window seating, I can't wait to eat here more often! I got the brisket noodle soup and, while it wasn't piping hot as I'd liked, the brisket was tender, there was soybean curd, and the perfect combination of 5 spice, crispy garlic, and peppers. Very worth the promised 15 minute wait - they should add another crew member because that phone was RINGING so you know people love this place!!
Chewy boba - it was a divine eating experience“

“Best bubble tea ☕️ cheese tea“

“4.5 stars

I got the orange passion fruit four seasons tea with boba. The tea is absolutely delicious. I did not think I was going to like the mix of orange and passion fruit because I always get passion fruit oolong tea but it's actually really really good. I'm almost positive they use fresh orange juice like they say (I'm skeptical after a few places claiming to have fresh orange juice definitely used bottled) as it just tastes so fresh and clean. Probably one of the best tea drinks I've had! I did deduct half a star because the tapioca was way too soft for me. I came at almost 8:00 p.m. at night so maybe the boba had been sitting for a while or maybe they just make there's really soft but it was definitely very very soft and not my preference at all. But the drink was so good I'd honestly come back anyways!!“

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.“

“melhor comida vegan do mundo! Almoçamos 3 dias seguidos. Melhor opção saudável para quem está de viagem e quer uma refeição leve e saborosa.“

“love the combination and concept of sweet tea, now it's my favorite one“

“My go to spot in Allston for tofu pudding, grass jelly, bingsu, and drinks! This place is always busy, and the desserts and drinks are consistently yummy. My favorite order is their signature grass jelly, super refreshing, especially on a hot day. The staff are always nice, too.
It does get extremely crowded toward the evening, and when packed, the place can have an unpleasant smell. I’d recommend ordering to go if possible, just not the bingsu since it’s best enjoyed fresh in store.“
