“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.“

“It’s the only cute sit-down spot in China town. Tons of Good seats. The milk tea isn’t sweetened but in a good way.
They have WiFi and places to charge your phone or laptop. Four employees working at 3:30 on the weekend. People were in and out really fast.“

“I've now gone 3 times in the past two weeks and tried different flavor mochi donuts, taro milk tea, popcorn chicken and half half Korean potato corn dog. everything is super fresh, not overly sweet and flavorful. the Korean corn dog and popcorn chicken were super crispy on the outside but not overcooked, and packed with flavor. they are my new favorite restaurant in the area, and easily my "go to" for something quick.“

“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!!!“

“Best boba tea 🧋 ever I love the honey dew one personally ,and the sandwiches are astounding ,workers are really nice 😊!!!!“

“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 :)“

“I tried the brown sugar milk tea atCoco Leaf and really enjoyed it. It is sweet, but you can adjust the sweetnesslevel to your preference. The milk tea is smooth and creamy, boba are nottoo chewy. I also talked to the staff and found out that theyoffer rice plates too, so I will definitely try one next time.“

“This is one of my favorite spots in Boston! I’ve eaten here a thousand times and have never been disappointed. A true local and family run establishment that cares about the community and makes everyone feel welcome. They have a super cool rooftop bar too!“

“Just as great as China town in Phil“

“Everytime I am in Boston, I always make sure to swing by this amazing boba place!! Never too crowded, and they always have a ton of customizations available. Since other boba places get more foot traffic, this one is quieter in comparison, depending on what time of day you come in. Big fan of their thai milk tea!“

“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!“

“Great neighborhood for some tea. The guy working was so happy to be there. You do not see that often. Greeted us right away when we walked in. Had some pretty great suggestions. He loved being there and in return, made some amazing drinks for us!“

“Maybe its just the choice i took but the rose honey (it tasted kinda lemonadey) was like ehhh. Im probably coming back later bc ive heard godly things abt this place and just bc all of the popular options were sold out. Also heads ip theres no seating here“

“it took some time for the food to come out but they did let us know beforehand. the popcorn chicken is amazing; perfectly sized and seasoned and does not feel greasy at all. the jasmine, passionfruit and lemon tea was so refreshing and there were so many options to adjust sweetness or add jelly etc. lovely little gem!!“

“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“

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

“We tried two amazing sandwiches at Banh Mi Huong: the Banh Mi Ga (Five-spice chicken) and the Banh Mi Bo (Lemongrass steak). Both were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The wait was short, and I liked that you can see your name and estimated time on the board. We ordered takeout, but there were tables available for dining in as well. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and comfortable, and the service was great. I would definitely recommend Banh Mi Huong for a satisfying meal.“

“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!“

“Ten One Tea House is a boba spot that has multiple locations around the Boston area, with a large selection of fruit teas, slushes, and milk teas.

We came during the afternoon on a weekend, and the place was packed but not too overwhelming. There wasn't many staff on hand, but they were still working hard to get boba orders out quickly, and we got ours within 5-10 minutes.

The boba was pretty good, not too sweet or watery, with a good amount of boba that didn't overwhelm the tea. We tried both the brown sugar milk tea and the mango slush. I think the mango slush was the highlight, as the toppings it came with went really well with the drink.

Overall, a great boba shop and place to visit on Newbury Street.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“M&J Teriyaki is a cute restaurant which I highly recommend if you’re in the area! They offer both dine-in and takeout and have, frankly a very nice atmosphere. The food too was really amazing (I recommend the chicken in particular) and the drinks are also very nice. I enjoyed the flavor of the strawberry smoothie.

I personally went right after having visited the MFA and so, if you’re on the lookout for a bit to eat after a museum visit then please consider it!“

“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.“

“Shi Miao Dao is a casual Chinese noodle and hot soup spot located right near Wollaston Station, known for its fast service and customizable rice noodle soups. The space is small, clean, and straightforward, with more of a quick dining setup than a full sit-down experience. It feels designed for efficiency, especially for people grabbing a warm bowl of noodles either before or after commuting in the area.

The menu centers around rice noodle soups and mala-style broths, with a build-your-own approach that lets you choose proteins like beef, lamb, or fish fillets. The mala rice noodle soup stands out for its rich, spicy broth that carries a noticeable heat without overpowering the rest of the bowl. The golden soup and other lighter broths offer a more mellow option, while add-ons like crispy wings or fried pork help round out the meal. The noodles themselves have a fresh, soft texture that pairs well with the soups, making the bowls feel comforting and filling.

Service is quick and efficient, with food often arriving shortly after ordering, which matches the restaurant’s “fast noodle” concept. Most of the preparation is streamlined, so dishes are consistent and arrive without much delay. It’s the kind of place where you’re in and out fairly quickly, especially during off-peak hours.

Seating is limited, and the space can feel a bit tight when it gets busy, so it leans more toward a casual dine-in or takeout spot rather than a place to linger for long meals. Despite that, the environment is clean and organized, and the location near public transit makes it very convenient.

Overall, Shi Miao Dao is a solid choice for flavorful rice noodle soups with bold broths and quick service. It works especially well for a fast, satisfying meal near Wollaston, with enough variety in spice levels and toppings to make repeat visits worthwhile.“

“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 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!“

“Pizza was some of the best I have ever had and I have often ate pizza in NYC. Service was very good. We ate the pizza there, but it really is designed for pick up as there was limited seating. The area was clean but only 2 eating areas/tables. Our salads were very fresh and very good. Parking was difficult but its Boston so imagine that! Ideal to pick up from in my opinion.“

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

“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“

“Gong Cha Newbury is the Newbury Street Franchise of the globally popular Gong Cha boba shops.

One feature that stands out is they sell bubble waffles with or without ice cream at this location, though it does tend to get on the more expensive side. They also have a deal to sell instant ramen, which I find a bit weird (ramen and boba?) but it doesn't bother me.

The boba is pretty standard with other locations, nothing that makes it different from other locations. The bubble waffles are good, though takes a long time to make. Ice cream is good as well.“

“Best bubble tea ☕️ cheese tea“

“Great food unique selection of teas and shakes.“

“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.“

“Worth the Drive Every Time
Hey Tea in Allston, MA is absolute heaven. I drive all the way from the North Shore for this, and it's never a wasted trip.

Their mango drinks with sago and the grapefruit are top of the world—seriously, some of the best I've ever had. They do everything so well. I also love watching everyone's order come up and seeing the tea being made right through the glass. It's mesmerizing and just adds to the whole experience.“

“Best fried chicken and boba in town“

“I first visited this spot during their Milk & Mocha collaboration. I really enjoy the warm, cozy atmosphere here, and they did a wonderful job decorating the entire space to match the collaboration's theme.

I ordered the black sesame paste soup with rice balls and a waffle topped with bananas and matcha ice cream. The black sesame soup had a great nutty flavor and tasted not too sweet, which I appreciated. The waffle was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. Not pictured in the photos, I also ordered the mango juice with sago and herbal jelly. The mango provided a lovely natural sweetness, and the sago was cooked to the perfect texture. This has easily become my favorite spot for late-night desserts since the treats are satisfying without feeling too heavy!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Rebecca, it’s truly fascinating that you managed to leave a bad review for the wrong location. If you’re going to complain publicly, the absolute bare minimum is making sure you’re reviewing the correct store. That seems like a pretty important first step.

Meanwhile, this location deserves the complete opposite. The staff are genuinely some of the sweetest, most patient people I’ve ever met. They’re always so kind and welcoming, and my drinks are consistently amazing every single visit. It’s honestly why I keep coming back again and again.

And while we’re at it, please stop walking in five minutes before closing. They’re already cleaning and wrapping up after a long day. A little consideration for the employees goes a long way.“

“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!!“

“Machi machi has a really great aesthetic, the interior feels very cozy. When I asked what to get, Ryan helped point out some noteworthy drinks. I really enjoyed the jasmine green tea with fresh fruit. The drink came out quick and was very refreshing! Would visit again!“

“Not sure why it’s not rated higher for the price and hot pot options. We use to live near Spring Shabu in Allston which is fantastic! Tai Xi’s price for unlimited meat and seafood in conjunction with broth choices are wonderful! We always leave satisfied and the service is fast.“
