Some really top notch coffee! Delicate and tasty, but leaves enough room for all of the interesting mixes the baristas have to offer. Worth a visit!

Been coming here for years, small/ cute coffee spots right near pho hoa. Very friendly staff! I always get the dark and stormy or the ube latte! Will always come back!

I got a dark stormy and asked for it a little less sweet, it was great. I will definitely be back to try more. The woman at the front counter was very nice and ready to help make a choice on coffee!

A trendy Vietnamese coffee shop with decent visually-enticing drinks.Operated under the same ownership as Pho Hoa, Reign drink lab offers a glimpse into modern Vietnamese beverage culture. Dressed in a trendy façade, it promises Instagram-worthy sips with its vibrant concoctions. However, beneath the allure, it didn’t quite deliver the authentic Vietnamese coffee experience I was hoping for.During my past few visits, I tried several of their coffee and tea drinks, but most of them were a bit disappointing. The presentations were excellent, but their taste profiles missed the mark. I have a sweet spot for Vietnamese coffee, usually marked by its delightful dance between the bitter coffee and creamy condensed milk. Here, however, the scales tipped heavily towards saccharine.The Purple Reign tea was a visual treat with its stunning color, but it was overwhelmingly tart. It felt as though I was sipping straight lime juice, masking the subtler notes of butterfly peaflower and passion fruit.Overall, Reign Drink Lab may be good for people looking for a photogenic spot. However, I probably wouldn’t come back for their drinks.

London fog was delicious! Boba was a little over done, though, so you may want to skip regular boba and just go for the drink

We were welcomed in and they made excellent suggestions me and my son home from college. Also I left my wallet behind ( never happened to me in 56years) They had it for me with a smile and over $400 cash. Left a nice tip and I thanked them , I told the I would leave a review. Genuinely nice people work hereThe coffee drinks were amazing. Go there it's right behind Pho Hoa same bldg very nice space .

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and didn't leave disappointed!The space is small so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot as there are no seats. The menu unfortunately was out of a few items right off the bat despite it being only an hour or two after opening, but that didn't deter the group too much from ordering. The staff were patient as we decided what to get and our drinks were out within a few minutes. I got an avocado shake and was pretty satisfied with the taste - creamy, not too sweet, and was pretty delicious. The size was a little on the smaller side for its price, but other than that, it was pretty solid. If I'm ever in the area again, I wouldn't mind coming by again to try some of their other drinks. Thanks, Reign!

drinks are never consistentUsed to be a go to spot now it's skippableGot the purple reign and it was more like purple drizzle
Cute little drink spot. They have limited indoor seating and no outside seating, so it’s a grab and go situation but overall pretty good. I got the Latte and it tasted really good. Nothing to what I was expecting but in a good way!Update: went back again and had the Pom power drink and it was great!

This petite café is located on a side street and is therefore tough to spot from busy Dorchester Avenue, so look closely for it on foot - and/or be prepared to park a block or two away if you can find any parking in this dense neighborhood.Once inside, you might be surprised to discover a bright, inviting, industrial-like space with a couple of windowside counter stools for folks to linger. The menu features coffee and tea drinks ranging from the conventional to the creamy, thanks to Vietnamese and Asian twists. You could get a standard cold brew, for example, or you could have it infused with vanilla and sweet cream. Or you could get all sorts of flavorful tea drinks including the passionfruit green, matcha latte, honey jasmine milk, or yuzu dragonfruit.I opted for a large Vietnamese hot chocolate and found it a delicious and soothing combination of nitro cold brew, mocha, soy and whole bilk, and sea salt cream. A nice, indulgent way to power me through a neighborhood walk and to charge up the mind for the day. Although I wasn't made to "feel like royalty" as their website proffers, I did find service to be explanatory and efficient. An excellent way to combine Western and Asian tastes into drink combinations that are universally appealing in this ultra-diverse neighborhood.Pro tip: you don't need to shove your drinks into the photo with your bare, moist, wrinkly hands and dirty fingernails. You also don't need to call attention away from the drinks with pointless "action" shots. Keep all body parts and distracting backgrounds out of the photo and focus *solely* on the drinks themselves. #stayclassy #stayuseful #noyouarenotanarteeste

This place never misses. All of their combinations are wonderful. I'm a particular fan of the Dark and Stormy. Today, I got their seasonal Ubae Latte and it was also absolutely fantastic. Quick, friendly service. Love having them in the neighborhood

I spent a sunny spring afternoon in Dorchester and stopped by here and ordered a Thai Tea w/boba. It was delicious--the Thai tea & the boba. If you're driving, there's a very small parking lot in the back that is shared w/the other commercial tenants in the building. The service was also kind & friendly. The next time I am in Fields Corner, I definitely will try to come back--there are a number of Vietnamese coffee options that look tasty. Recommend!
