50 Best Bubble Tea near Braintree

“For a Friday evening, it was relatively quiet, but regardless, the service was great, friendly staff, and very informative since it was my first time trying boba/bubble tea. Also, my sister is now officially addicted to their mango milk tea! Definitely will be coming back to get more of those tasty drinks! :>“

“Tried the mango slushy with mango jelly and mango poppers and the house milk tea with boba- delicious! I think this place makes better tasting teas than Kung Fu Tea downstairs. The only thing that Kung Fu Tea does better is that there’s an app so you can order ahead of time and you can select the sugar levels.“

“Angel and Maya are the best employees there! I see that they work better together! Very very polite and beautiful girls! They are so sweet and generous and make AMAZING drinks. 10/10 Service and they are SO SWEET! would come here again! 🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰“

“I’m a huge bubble tea drinker and I love to try all different kinds of places. Let me tell you, Sweet Sip did not disappoint. While there I tried three drinks: the Assam black tea with honey boba, the rose milk tea (no topping), and the Vietnamese iced coffee. All three were delicious. The Assam was a great milk tea for anyone who likes it simple and nostalgic. Nice and sweet, but not too sweet. The rose milk tea was fragrant and delicious as well. In terms of the boba, they use honey boba, which is a nice choice; this gives them a good taste, which adds nicely to the teas. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also a nice surprise. If you’ve ever had the real deal form a Vietnamese restaurant, then you would know that the coffee flavor can be strong and extra bitter. For someone who loves coffee, but is a wimp with the bitterness, this iced coffee was just the right balance. It gets even better as your ice melts. Lastly. I tried some of their Hong Kong cakes, specifically the pandan flavored cake, and the mochi filling. It was heavenly… Crisp, sweet, and flavorful. I look forward to trying the other flavors. I don’t go to Boston too often, but I would definitely come back to try more drinks at Sweet Sip the next time I’m visiting.“

“Always order from this store, easy to order online and they have it ready quickly. Order is always spot on and tastes amazing. Staff is super nice and helpful. Store is small but nice, the only issue is parking which can be difficult. It's one of the only really good bubble tea shops on the South shore, I'm so glad it's so good!“

“Truly one of the warmest, most genuine places out there. The workers here are so kind and always make the tastiest Vietnamese treats! Here’s what I got!

Custom chè with coconut milk, hot luu, taro, jackfruit, and pandan jelly
- Genuinely one of the best I’ve had 10/10

Bánh Dùa (Pandan flavor)
- Amazing chewy texture filled with pandan custard and coconut shreds
- Comes in pandan, ube, or durian flavor, and I will come back to try the rest!

One of my favorite places to relax and eat homey food! Please come check it out :)“

“Silkiest tapioca I've ever had. Music is a little loud at one end of the cafe but not unbearable. Nice place to chill out for a sec if you're a 1-3 person crew looking for a place to recalibrate. No public restroom. 10/10 boba and atmosphere.“

“The inside is a very cozy aesthetic, the workers are extremely friendly and drinks are amazing! My friends and I came here on Wednesday and will definitely be coming back, I recommend the strawberry jasmine green tea it’s so yummy that when my friends finished their drink they started drinking mine☹️“

“Walking into The Alley (1515 Hancock St, Ste 104), you immediately sense a modern, clean, and minimalist vibe. It’s well-lit, sleek, with touches of brightness and openness.

It’s not just pretty — it feels like a space you could hang out in (study, chat, relax) while sipping your drink. Some even say there are plenty of tables and outlets, making it great for casual stops or extended visits.

The mango coconut mochi milk smoothie here is next-level incredible! It’s everything you want in a tropical drink — rich, creamy coconut milk balanced perfectly with fresh, juicy mango. The texture was smooth and velvety, not too thick, not too watery — just right. Every sip felt like a mini vacation. What really impressed me was the balance: it wasn’t overly sweet, and you could taste the natural fruit flavors without anything overpowering. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and just the right amount of indulgent. Highly recommend if you’re a smoothie lover or just want to treat yourself to something delicious and refreshing. I’ll definitely be back for another!“

“My 2 girlfriends and I came to Esmai's Cafe for a girls' catchup on a Tuesday night at 6PM. Reservations were easy to make online. Meter parking was plentiful nearby. We were seated right away.

I remember this place as Hops n' Scotch and honestly, I think they really improved the space! The ambience was nicer, more posh, and the decor was super cute.

The service was quick, helpful, and very nice. We were checked in with often and made sure we were happy with the food. The menu of drinks and food were really interesting!

We got the:
- Spill the Tea mocktail - the rose tea was very subtle but tasty and aromatic, it was really pleasant and came in a pretty glass
- Hot Egg Coffee - VERY sweet (which I LOVE) it might be too sweet for some... but personally I LOVED the first sip which was sugar overload heaven XD
- Cold Egg Coffee (yes we got both!) - tasted great, almost like a bubble tea without the boba, the Vietnamese coffee is strong and sweet, which I like
- Banh Mi + Bone Marrow - a must get! this Vietnamese charcuterie board was very creative and DELISH!!! I loved the pate with the bone marrow on top of the toast - the bone marrow was melt in my mouth deliciousness, and then I made a separate toast with the pate, cold cuts and pickled veggies. this app was a winner for me
- Mini Beef Wellington - this was SO GOOD!!! Since there were 3 of us, we each got 1 mini beef wellington and the meat inside was so surprisingly tender!! And then the outside pastry was nice and flaky, and I kept wanting more and more of the sauce - this honestly was my favorite dish of the night
- Escargot - this was good and some of the pieces were nice and plump but I did prefer the other two apps above
- Grilled Octopus - I thought the octopus was very tasty and moist, the poached Asian pear salad was a nice addition
- Lemongrass Chicken Salad - the salad is pretty standard, but actually the lemongrass chicken was very juicy and flavorful
- Smoked Fried Rice - this was my friend's favorite dish, she really liked the smokiness of it, and I thought the fried shrimp egg roll was so creative
- Loco Moco - this was SO TASTY!!!! every component of this dish was good and balanced everything else, from the Japanese hamburger and its mushroom gravy sauce over the rice, the yolk oozing out of the fried egg on top, then cutting a piece of the spam on the side and then the macaroni salad and carrots and finishing with some fruit - this was my favorite entree and my 2nd fave dish after the Mini Beef Wellington
- Creme Brulee - this was so yummy and not too sweet, the right creaminess and so easy to eat, we finished it easily
- Matcha Lava Cake - SUPER DECADENT and again, I have a MAJOR sweet tooth, so I LOOOOOOVED this lava cake! It was oozing and the sauce with the cake and a bit of strawberry were PERFECT... and then you discover the matcha and it's a nice surprise! I was in chocolate heaven ^__^

Portions were really perfect for our party of 3 but we got waaayyyyyyy too much and we were STUFFED. We had to box the rest of the fried rice and loco moco. I recommend finishing the bone marrow right away though since when it cools down, it'll gel up.

Even if you're full, I'd say make room for dessert. If you're a dessert fan, both the matcha lava cake and creme brulee were worth it! But if you only had to choose one and you DO have a sweet tooth, I'd recommend getting the lava cake :)

All in all, a VERY successful and delicious night out with my friends. We were never rushed and it wasn't very crowded (albeit it was a Tuesday night), so we were able to chat for a while and really enjoy our food and drinks.

I would definitely come back and bring more friends, try out their creative cocktails next time, or maybe even come for a date night ;)

I highly recom“

“It's a small location. They are practicing social distancing with mask and take out only. We tried the new mojitos drinks which was mixed berry, mango Orange, and grapefruit citrus. They were all so favorful and sweet. There was pieces of fruit and mint in all of them . They were all carbonated. Service was good and price was reasonable“

“I went for a Matcha 🍵 today and I loved the place and everything, and the Asian worker there did his best and his service was excellent, but he was the only one there working alone, and he had to take orders for about 20 people in the store at the same time. Maybe that’s a lot of pressure and he should have at least one other coworker there to help out :)“

“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.“

“Just as great as China town in Phil“

“Ordered the strawberry yogurt slush and it was truly amazing! I chose the lowest sugar level and you can really taste the fresh fruit in there (the natural strawberry aroma). The yogurt is creamy and flavorful, and the crystal boba (not sure if that’s the name, the slightly crunchy one) in the drink is fresh too.
Will def visit again!“

“I’ve been coming to this place numerous times by now, it actually became my weekly go to. The Thai tea is so good, I’m a huge fan of Thai tea, and yet I can tell you that they don’t make their Thai tea with powder, they BREWED the tea. You can’t believe how many stores put their use powder to make Thai tea. Customer service are always on point, never disappointed, they will bring your order to you if they are not that busy. And if you haven’t tried the Taiwan sausage, you missed out on one of the best things in this world. Give that a shot if you haven’t! Good Job Cha Kung Fong!“

“This hidden gem is located on the Boston University campus more close to the gas station, a Target and a new restaurant called Ziggy’s. They do sell boba but I want to take a moment to show appreciation to their macarons. My personal favorite is the fruity cereal. As you can see, look how pretty it looks and taking a bite it is sweet, satisfying and it just makes you happy. I know for me it made me happy. I believe they do buy it from a third party but it is delicious and worth it. If you look at my first picture they do display their pricing and to be upfront it does show “Buy 5 and get one free” however they do not ring it up like that and ring it up as you bought a total of six macarons. So for me, I could argue if I wanted to but I learned for myself that I’m willing to pay all six and the rest of their flavors (vanilla, birthday cake (both a pink & blue)) are tasty and satisfying. I have tried the dark chocolate macaron and it was okay. If you are one of those people that enjoys dark chocolate but want a subtle sweetness then that one is for you. I have tried their Italian soda (the lemon one to be exact) and it was delicious as well. If you want a “healthy option” they do offer Italian soda and their flavors. On the last picture you can see their drinks, pricing and boba options. My daughter and I enjoy this boba shop and it is welcoming and warm atmosphere. I just wished this establishment was more closer to home but I’m willing to travel.“

“A small, drink-only place, 1/2 flight upstairs on a Newbury St corner. I recommend using the two touch screen stations to order, as the help is typically already busy making their specialty drinks from prior orders - including from a big 3rd party delivery business. Chosing your tea can be a lot of fun, with many unusual choices and customization options. After a short wait for your drink to be prepared in view, you can enjoy it in the small but clean seating area, but more typically this is a to-go place. Young crowd energy.“

“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!“

“Pho #1 lives up to its name #1!!! So good 😊“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best fried chicken and boba in town“

“I got the passion fruit orange oolong tea with boba. I love oolong tea so I've been searching out boba tea shops that have fruit flavored oolong specifically. It's less than you think. This tea was pretty good! It's not as good as my favorite place (chicha) but it's $2 cheaper for a bigger cup. I think the biggest thing that I love about chicha is the tea flavor is so heavy, maybe because they are fresh brewing every cup. You can really really taste the tea. At this Teazzi it's good but the tea flavor was not as strong. And it's just like most boba shops where it is pre-brewed in giant containers. It was a good amount of sweetness though and the passion fruit flavor was good although it wasn't fresh passion fruit or puree that I could tell.

The bobas were actually delicious, they were really sweet and generally cooked well. However every 10th or 20th one was really hard. I might be in the minority but I like it, it's like extra extra extra extra al dente. But I could see the average person not enjoying that. So they're boba stock is not super consistent.

All in all though it is one of the better ones I've had.“

“after constantly seeing super long lines here I decided to stop in and I can confidently say that I will be returning!! I got the coconut mango blue drink and it was the most delicious thing ever- real coconut and real mango and im still unsure on what the blue stuff is but this drink was delightful. I went around 4pm on a wednesday and there was no line!“

“The savior for people who are tired of carbonated drinks in the United States is located in Chinatown, but the store staff are all Westerners. The first time I drank a hand-cranked drink, I ordered it from the ordering machine. It was quite grand and you can also adjust the sweetness of the ice cubes. However, the price of the hand-cranked drink here is really just for an occasional drink. This cup is 50 in Taiwan and 210 in the United States🫣.“

“It's a small location. They are practicing social distancing with mask and take out only. We tried the new mojitos drinks which was mixed berry, mango Orange, and grapefruit citrus. They were all so favorful and sweet. There was pieces of fruit and mint in all of them . They were all carbonated. Service was good and price was reasonable“

“LimeRed Teahouse is a small cafe located right outside of the BU campus, with a wide range of desserts and drinks to try out.

The staff are pretty welcoming, able to cater to most requests and are able to explain any recommendations to new customers. They make the drinks pretty quick and kept us informed throughout the process.

We typically come here to get Bubble Waffles with Ice cream, which does take a little time to make, but the batter used is light and fluffy and goes well with the ice cream they serve. They also have macarons here, which are pretty standard. The teas are good, some of them don't have as strong as a flavor as they should but overall is pretty good.

Definitely a good place to study or just to hang out while in the area.“

“Great food unique selection of teas and shakes.“

“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!!!“

“Great variety in fantastic tasting bubble teas and mochinuts!“

“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“

“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“

“I've never in my life tried a Pokè bowl but it is so good that I'm sitting here typing this while eating. I got the Tempura Dragon bowl with sushi rice and no sauce. I also got a Coconut Milk Tea with tapioca boba. I'm always talking about how we need more simple delicious food in this world, without too much craziness. I feel very nourished. I will definitely be back!“

“Nice bubble tea place! This one is a chain. One thing that I really like about it is that they partner with mochi nut and zz desserts and the hot dog place so there are quite a few food options. Supposedly they make their own boba here! They do have three options, two were available when we went. The brown sugar boba and their white boba. We got two drinks.

I ordered the brewed oolong peach tea with white boba. I asked them if it was sweet and they said yes. Honestly this drink was not my favorite, it was just a little lacking in sweetness. The oolong flavor was good, but the boba was fully tasteless although the texture was fantastic.

My partner ordered the passion fruit green tea with brown sugar boba and it was absolutely delicious.

I would say if you're going to go with the brewed tea options Just be aware I think it's not super sweet, and if you get the white boba instead of the brown sugar boba is also not very sweet or flavorful so heads up!“

“The best banh mi you can find in Boston outside of Dorchester! Highly recommend the lemongrass beef sandwich 😋 easily customizable too on ordering screens (+/- and more or less of mayo, pâté, jalapeños, veggies on the side, etc) the service is always really friendly as well. Not many places where $9 gets you food like this nowadays!“

“The place is connected to ranch 99. Staff was helpful in suggesting some drinks. We got the tora Milk tea, boba tea, lemon Green Tea and passion fruit. Everything was refreshing and yummy. Price is average.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“I placed an order through the app, and when I went to pick it up, I asked the staff for a bag. I didn’t realize she had already prepared it for me—and she even wrote me a sweet little note! I noticed it later and wanted to call to thank her, but I couldn’t reach anyone, so I decided to write my thanks here instead. It really warmed my heart. She’s so kind and thoughtful—thank you so much! I’ll definitely be back because of her ❤️“

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

“Pretty good - albeit limited range of desserts and some drinks. Worth one try for sure if you like coconut
We have a few different desserts and all were a decent std - although the mango itself (pictured) did not taste that great - the coconut base was good.“

“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!!“

“EVERYTHING I ordered was exactly how I like my food, cuz im picka!y!!! I got a large cheese pizza french fries and mac and cheese bites and everything was so tasty that it left me feigning for more!!! And it all came oot to only like.... $30!! That was with delivery too!!! No more paying $70-$80 t⁷o Uber Eats anymore!! I'm ordering from this place every time from now on!!!!“

“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“

“The Grapefruit Salty Cream over Grape Green Tea ($7.25) was good and refreshing, though I am not sure if they use fruit juice or fresh fruits. The cream on top also just looked like whipped cream when I opened the cap, but it tasted fine.

I feel like I got coaxed into paying with cash because it was empty. I didn’t see any signs indoors or in the reviews about the supposed $10 minimum as there usually are. Thankfully, I had cash on me, but a heads up for anyone ordering inside.“

“First the drinks are made perfectly! Second every encounter I had was so sweet and I want to highlight one specific encounter that made me wanna write this review. Vennesa (I believe that’s how you spell it) and Finn was so sweet, so thoughtful the two work so hard and I appreciate how they care. Please support the two if you see them and know your drinks are made with love.“

“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.“

“Look, I don't know if this is the best location for a boba place, being that it's across the Boston Symphony and it's mostly older people who frequent the symphony. But as an Asian family, we did go to the Symphony and we did drop by this place afterwards for that post-symphony boba hit. LOL.“

“Just had our first experience here and we’ll be back! Friendly staff and fantastic food!“
