Go to college in Boston and Mr. Tea is our favorite! Drinks are good with fair price and workers are all so kind and friendly. A lady gave me a free boba once because I have a stomachache once. It could be pretty crowded tho!

I visited this spot because it was the highest-rated bubble tea shop in the area.The interior is great--lots of table seating for studying, a cozy fireplace.The drink I had was not good, and the boba was bad. I ordered the oreo cake milk tea 50% sweetened. It had pretty much no flavor. The boba itself is rubbery, not chewy, and tastes bitter. It made me not want to drink my tea.I have had lots of boba other places but hope to try more bubble tea places in the area. So far:1) Coco Leaf (closing March 24, 2024)2) Mr. Tea

If you're looking for a cute little spot to sit down and relax with a cup of milk tea, look no further! The interior of this little Newbury St. brownstone looks almost like a coffee shop, with some cute decor and a few tables and chairs for hanging out in. The prices here aren't too bad compared to other nearby spots - most milk teas here are around $5 (not including boba). I ordered their taro milk tea with boba here, which was delicious and exactly what I'm looking for in a drink. It had the perfect amount of sweetness (after I asked them for 50% sweetness) and not an overwhelming amount of ice. I really enjoy my experience every time I visit Mr. Tea and will definitely be back!

As a huge fan of Boba Tea it was a good experience. We got Caramel Tiramisu Cream Tea (left) and Brown Sugar Bubble Tea.Everything was good, except the boba (were hard which means weren’t cook enough). A lady was very nice and helpful. I would come back again.

I have tried over thirty boba stores in the Boston area over the past four years, and Mr. Tea is definitively the premier underrated boba spot on Newbury Street, they offer items such as the elusive cheese foam and evocative avocado milk shake, in addition to some extremely well-made boba.The interior decor is also quite charming, and this spot definitely classes well above others (such as Ten One) in terms of study session viability. Mr. Tea stands as the first and only boba shop that I can confidently and proudly recommend in the Boston area.I will be returning here very soon, and very often.

Newbury street is filled with boba options, but Mr tea has been one of my favorites so far. The menu can seem a little inflexible compared to certain places (options for things like milk, toppings, tea choice etc are all pre-comboed), but the quality of the tea was good overall.

Of all the boba shops along the big and long Newbury Street, we decided to give Mr. Tea a try. When you walk in, it's almost like a dark academia library vibe with the dark wooden interior and LED fireplace. Right when you walk in, there will be a big poster board on the wall on the left with all of their drink items. Very helpful for people who usually struggle to see the TV screens at most boba shops. I had milk tea from Royal Tea earlier so I wanted something more refreshing this time. I decided to try the Blueberry Strawberry Smoothie with boba. Regardless of the long line of customers they had, the workers were very fast. They were calling out numbers as if they were counting regularly. Big shoutout and applaud to them! I got my drink fairly quickly for a blended drink, at most 3 minute wait. You could definitely taste the sourness of the blueberry and sweetness of the strawberry, as it's fresh fruit most likely blended with tea and ice. The texture of the boba is great, firm but chewy and it didn't taste like it was over soaked. I would have to try more variety here to give it 5 stars, but overall a great place to go!

Got the early grey and peach oolong tea with a friend. Both tasted like water and you could barely taste any flavor. My friend couldn’t even taste the peach in her drink. She asked if they can make the drink stronger and the girl behind the counter rolled her eyes. There are definitely better places to get boba on Newbury. Gong Cha next door makes better peach tea than this.
