“What a lovely charming shop! The owner and my wife began chatting in cantonese! She made our baby a smoothie, we chatted with regulars about summer movies for half an hour, and I drank my strawberry lemonade. Brilliant shop! Bonus: Genuine asian snacks on the side and rear walls. A must see.“

“I always order their popcorn chicken and Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup! Love the ambiance of this family owned restaurant. Expect to wait a little bit when you come during weekends because the space isn’t too big and has limited tables. But food is delicious! Absolutely recommended!“

“We came here for their new specialty the broken rice dish and it was the best in Boston so far . They also specialize in their sweet desserts and offer a variety of selections . The owners cook and served us at same time . Everything was good here .“

“Honestly can't figure out how this place hasn't opened multiple locations yet. Absolute hidden gem bubble tea with amazing selections. Only complaint I could have is they are in an extremely isolated area but they still seem to always be busy. They do have a dast turn around considering the volume of people who go there.“

“Had coconut milk tea and taro milk tea at the LADS Qixi event. The price was cheaper than other boba chains and flavors were the best I've had in a while! It was during an event so the line was quite long, but even then the wait was very quick. Definitely one of my favorite boba places now“

“Cafe Darq is a fantastic addition to Chinatown! The coffee here is excellent—they proudly serve George Howell coffee, so you already know the quality and flavor are top-tier. What really makes this place special is the customer service; the staff are incredibly nice, polite, and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by for a great drink and wonderful service! ☕“

“Good packing space and good drinks !!“

“Amazing food and drinks! A small and friendly spot in the heart of Watertown! I highly recommend all the drinks and have not been disappointed trying the multiple slush drinks. Be sure to add your favorite toppings. My new favorite place in Watertown for a good sandwich and drink to pick up and go to the local park to eat! Do not miss out on this local spot!“

“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.“

“So Happy Lemon in general is an amazing chain but this store has one of the best employees I have ever encountered in any customer service sector. I feel like he is criminally underpaid for how amazing he treats everyone that walks through their door.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Esmai’s offers the perfect place for both events and intimate dinners. I’ve used this wonderful restaurant for both. They have a roomy downstairs bar that was perfect for hosting my book launch party. They also have an open upstairs dining area with a breathtaking view that is perfect for drinks with friends or intimate dinners for 2. Their appetizers are brilliant: we’ve loved the Brussel sprouts and the Vietnamese Eggrolls. I also really enjoyed the Pappardelle Pasta: the meat was so tender, the pasta was silky and chewy, and the sauce was savory and tangy. My partner had the BBH Bahn Mi and raved over the taste. We love the blended texture and flavors of Esmai’s dishes.“

“I love this place. They make their boba with real fruit. The passiontfruit green tea is the most amazing thing with chewy bubbles and crunchy passionfruut seeds. The fruit overload has berry, lychee and passionfruut in green tea and it's so pretty I don't eve. want to drink it! They also have mochi donuts with are really good also. Its a very reasonable price for the quality. Definitely recommend.“

“Close to Harvard’s campus, Ten One Tea House is the best rated bubble tea place. Walk inside and order from one of two tablets. The teas are organized around what flavor profile you like most-fruit, tea, creamy, etc. The milk tea with brown sugar boba, 75% ice, and less sweet was perfect. Just make sure you stir it to mix all the flavors and sugar.“

“Love their sushi, and great price for it, better and cheaper than grocery store. Never been too into their drinks, lemonade is too sour and milk teas are watery. The star and heart bubbles are fun and tasty though, I keep coming back. Long wait for sushi.“

“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.“

“Gong Cha in Davis Square stands out in the local boba landscape for reasons beyond just the drinks. The space is notably larger and more comfortable than most bubble tea spots in the area, with plenty of seating and wifi that makes it easy to settle in for a while rather than treating it as a quick pickup counter. It has built a reputation as a genuine hang out spot in a neighborhood that welcomes that kind of place.

The drinks hold up well across the menu. The passion fruit green tea is the order most people gravitate toward and for good reason, refreshing and bright with a natural tartness that works particularly well over ice. The taro milk tea is another reliable pick, creamy and subtly sweet in the way a good taro should be, and the passionfruit yogurt slush is worth trying if you want something more textural and fruit-forward. The star boba is a fun alternative to standard pearls with a mild fruity flavor that works well in the lighter tea options, and the herbal jelly is worth specifying if you want a less sweet, more earthy addition to the cup.

The staff is consistently warm and genuinely helpful in steering you toward something you will enjoy if you are unsure where to start on the menu. The baristas take recommendations seriously rather than defaulting to generic suggestions, and that kind of engagement makes a difference at a spot you might visit regularly. The space is well kept and the overall vibe is peaceful enough for a work session or a long conversation without feeling like you are occupying a table you should give up.“

“Just as great as China town in Phil“

“Honestly the best coffee in town! Employees are amazing! Great donuts on the weekends. Definitely recommend!“

“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!“

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

“so nice lol. i bought the brown sugar milk tea and it’s pretty good. the boba is so chewy and i like it a lot. i also asked them if i could get a cup of ice just to prevent my ice cream from melting. I WAS SO HESITATING BUT THEY SAID YESSSS.“

“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!!“

“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.

I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!“

“The food is fresh and sooo yummy, just incredible! New favorite lunch spot! Definitely recommend!“

“Dado is the best kept secret in Cambridge. A beautiful café that feels so peaceful, considered and thoughtful in its every detail—the perfect place to sit with a friend, or take some time to just be alone and read a book. The co-owner Namwon has great energy. He was always really kind and welcoming to me and my boyfriend (we are from Australia, but Dado felt like a little slice of home). The food is really tasty (I could never go past their egg-salad sandwich; my partner loves the bibimbap wrap), and Dado, of course, has an amazing selection of teas. More than just feeding the body, all the meals felt like they were nourishing the soul. Just good honest cooking—maybe the rarest of things today. We’re about to leave Harvard this semester, and one of the great things we’ll miss is Dado.“

“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.“

“I got the Bubble Milk Tea with Cheese Foam and really liked it! The drink was good and the cheese foam was super creamy.

The view is beautiful, The shop is also really comfortable and has Wi-Fi, so it’s a nice place to sit and get some work done. The staff were very friendly and patient, and helped explain the menu when I wasn’t sure what to get.

Overall a really nice and relaxing spot. Would definitely come back!“

“Great spot for Ban Mi! The flavors and ingredients are authentic. The #1 special is the best option IMO - you don’t get meats like that anywhere else! Only feedback is that my sandwich was a little dry - it could have been a little better with more pate or mayo to increase the creaminess.“

“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!“

“Genuinely don’t understand why this place is empty save for my family when we come in - The waiters are attentive, and the food and milk tea are both spectacular. They offer a lot more options than most sushi restaurants as well! Seems like a really lovely family business and I would definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“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 location, pick up was quick and easy! Their bubble tea is awesome and they have an awesome variety of flavors and boba options“

“Taro milk milk Delicious 👍“

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

“The food was very authentic and everything we ordered was really, really tasty! The staff and owner were so kind and even treated us to their milk tea which was also really good! The service was also very fast and we highly recommend!!!“

“I got a bite to eat (noodles with mixed vegetables) at an affordable place nearby to where I was working. The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was delightful. I will definitely eat here again if I am in the area. Loved it.“

“This place was amazing the bubble tea 10/10. My dad really liked their ice cream. Although it’s a bit quiet could use some friendly music. Adorable decorations the staff was very very friendly. I love this place so much.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly all the drinks and ice cream is amazing recommend!“

“Ten One is definitely one of the best boba places out there. Their tea is quality and their boba is also good. The brown sugar milk tea is one of the best things on their menu - I would definitely recommend that. Service is quick and welcoming at this location as well. Their price point is also on par with most other boba places.“

“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“

“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!“

“Restaurant is has cozy and chill vibe. Staff is very friendly. The Biang Biang noodles are the star of the show! Super flavorful and great dough texture, taste very homemade. Meat pie is good too, almost as good as in China. The garlic crawfish bursts with flavor, they make it fresh from live crawfish so take a little more time. The pork belly with preserved veggie is way too sweet but meat is super tender so I took it home and ran it through hot water bath twice to get it to be less sweet😅“

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

“This was my first time trying Teazzi, I am not the biggest fan of fruity trendy drinks and a friend recommended me here. I tried the honey amber milk tea. The tea blend is incredibly rich and a great fit for my taste. There are so many options, but the kind blue haired employee at this location was helpful in choosing something that would be within my taste. Would definitely recommended this place if you’re around Newbury.“
