“Generally I don't care for boba tea.But was craving some brown sugar boba tea. And some of my other usual spots were either too busy or too hard.I liked the fact I could choose the sweetness level which was nice. Did a 30% sugar tea, and got a egg waffle (also recommended)Tasted good, drank the whole tea, and the ice cream was good too. Venue was cute, but nothing mind blowing. The girl who worked the counter was effective.Not a bad spot for a quick fix.“
“Decided to stop by because we were craving boba. Loved everything about this place from the atmosphere to the drinks! High quality and you can tell the owners use fresh ingredients and care about delivering delicious drinks to their customers. Would definitely come here again if I'm in the area!“
“Sometimes I swing by before volunteering - they have a selection of smoothies, health shots (I usually get the ginger shot), pressed juices and there's a bakery extension (even though I haven't tried, the baked goods look great). The employees I've interacted with have a quiet humor. Not sure if they own the place or not, but they're calm & pleasant. There isn't really a place to sit, so take your orders to go. Inside is vibrant/colorful & has a lot of natural lighting.“
“Their Acai and Dragon Fruit bowls are some of the best I ever tasted. I love their version of peanut butter. It is a must try. I can't have enough. Online orders goes thru seamlessly and ready for pickup when they say it is. Quick service. They have a large variety of juices and allow all kinds of customization. Generous portions of salmon for their smoked salmon toast. Lol. So delicious that I just realized I forgot to take a picture for posting before eating everything.“
“cute little restaurant in brighton! everyone who works here is so kind and service was amazing. we got the salmon bowl, fried chicken sandwich, the brown sugar ginger latte and a smoothie and we loved everything. the space is cozy and clean. definitely coming back!“
“Bryan and Michele frequent tapiocatea every chance we get. Michele loves the Strawberry Cheesecake tea and of course the Teriyaki Beef Banh Mi sandwich. Bryan's go to is the Birria Banh Mi sandwich and his choice of drink is the Matcha Lavender Milk Tea. This place gets a 5 out of 5 on everything. This is a must try!!!! Both sandwiches are pictured below as well as a bubble waffle and crepe.“
“C Fruit Life is seriously the spot for dessert lovers! I recently tried their bingsoo, and oh my, it was like eating a fluffy cloud. I went for the mango bingsoo, and it was bursting with real mango flavor. You can totally tell they use top-notch ingredients.Their black sesame ice cream? Unreal. Packed with sesame seeds, it's like a flavor explosion in your mouth. Seriously, the best ice cream ever.Oh, and don't even get me started on their mango-wrapped crepe with whipped cream. It was just as tasty as it sounds.But here's the kicker - it's crazy affordable. I mean, $8 for a bingsoo that can easily feed three? That's a steal!I'm already planning my next trip because there's so much more on their menu I want to try. If you're after delicious desserts that won't break the bank, you've gotta check out C Fruit Life. Trust me, you won't regret it!“
“Best breakfast sandwich on the planet (bacon egg and cheese on a homemade biscuit). Coffee drinks have all been phenomenal as well. Parking can be tough at peak times but always worth an extra lap if you can swing it.Kid-friendliness: Lots of sitting options, things to look at, sometimes art supplies out for them to draw with.“
“This place is great from the food, drinks and overall vibe. Erica and her staff work their butts off and it shows. They make you feel loved and appreciated always and this is the type of business I will always go out of my way to support and I suggest you do the “

“I love this place for their vibrant bowls packed with flavor and fresh veggies! Their sauces complement each bowl so well and they are incredibly filling. I love the Buddha and Adventure bowl. Their butternut squash bisque and smoothies are also amazing! This is a great place for a quiet, fast casual meal that you know will be delicious and good for you.Vegetarian options: This place is completely veganDietary restrictions: Great for low carb, gluten free, vegan/vegetarian“
“This is a great place to eat breakfast - and there are not enough places like this one in the Boston area!A big plus is the fact that they serve fresh and amazing pita bread.It is quite expensive, and some of the dishes are too small for their price. The shakshuka is big and great, but the salad of the labaneh and beets for example is really small and has just several small cubes of beets. (The labaneh itself was very good).“
“Yummy and healthy bowls. I got two dishes and split with my friend broth based and a rice based. Both were really different and delicious! They had just opened their baked goods part of the restaurant so they gave away pastries with the purchase of a meal! Updated from previous review on 2024-02-19“
“Julia is one of the kindest and most thoughtful human beings I have ever met and her hazelnut iced lattes, breakfast sandwiches, and baked goods are delicious! It feels like stopping by a family member or close friend’s home every time we pop in. Our dog learned the words “coffee shop” because of Julia and her treats. Well worth any wait when they are super busy- Julia genuinely cares about you and your order no matter how many customers she has!“
“Ordered on a whim on Uber Eats and was thrilled after I took the first bite. Everything we ordered was delicious, portions were great, and the food was packed nicely! Came back the next day to order again because it was DELICIOUS! Will definitely be returning and telling others about this place.“
“Was nearby and wanted to try new boba spots and saw this place had açaí too so we had to try it. The space is super long. Unfortunately boba was no longer on the menu. But the açaí was really good. I got super hyped when I saw they had different bases, I couldn't decide on what to try. We got a Berry Delicious açaí base bowl, and a Paradise Pitaya base bowl, and a Açaí berry smoothie. My fiancé devoured his açaí bowl no problem. And the pitaya base was so good and fruity. I saw they have a green base and a spring time mango base too. Definitely gonna have to come back and try it!“
“Truly blessed to have this gem in the neighborhood. My favorite juices are the organism detox and the no more sinus. My favorite smoothies are Island Mix & Mr.Green everything in this place is always on point including their sandwiches, freshly squeezed orange juice & let's not forget strawberry lemonade. YUMMM!“
“The BEST poke in Boston, period! I have tried all of them in the area and always left hungry and disappointed for the same reason, 90% of the bowl is rice with a few pieces of fish. This place is different. The bowl has a generous amount of fresh, high quality fish, reasonable amount of rice and other ingredients that make the bowl coherent in flavor. It tastes amazing and it is very satisfying as well. Couldn't recommend it enough!!!“
“Thrive Juice Cafe, very tasty food, love the healthy salads, sandwiches, falafel wrap, bowl, smoothies, strawberry banana.Owner Derek known for few years, he and his employees very kind,Makes me smile when ever I come for lunch, snacks.Everything is made with love for the customers.“
“Finding myself hungry in South Boston, I Googled vegan near me" and found Lulu Green. Well, one of my cats is named Lulu, so there I went. Little did I know how delicious the food is there. The vegan hot honey "chicken" sandwich was by far the best sandwich I've had in my entire life, so good that I immediately ordered another. Isn't that what one does when one gets the best sandwich ever? If "awesome" weren't so overused a word that it has lost any semblance of its original meaning, I would use it to describe this sandwich. You know how, when you take a bite from some new dish and you get hit with the sensation of something so delicious you just have to sit back in your seat and wish space-time would move more slowly just so you can savor the flavor longer? That's what eating this sandwich was like. It has a pesto ranch dressing and pickles that taste better than any pickles one might reasonably expect to exist in the known universe-- and I don't even particularly like pickles. Seriously, this sandwich will make you throb with ecstasy. Also, anyone who thinks vegan cheese can't be good hasn't tried its pesto pizza. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the friendly service.“
“Amazing service, truly. My friend and I were being picky customers and wanted to modify our drinks after ordering them. I know, we were annoying. But all of the beautiful women behind the counter had everlasting patience and honesty with us as we worked through it together.Yes this is a vague review but all you needa know is that this staff is great, the bubble tea pretty good, but the menu confusing because flavours like wintermelon, mango, honeydew, and Tiger are not listed on the main menu so you have to look carefully for what you want.“
“Food I'll come back for! You order at the door, so best to check the menu before coming in, to make sure you get seated the quickest. They'll serve your food after the order. The food and drinks were ?? They do have the cold pressed drinks in bottles. So if you're eating in, maybe skip them. We had the Spicy Peanut Noodles, The Adventurer Bowl, Elote Avacado Salad and and drink Frozen Mochaccno, Orange Blossom Cold Press and Ginger Crush. They were the best.Vegetarian options: All Vegetarian, killer food!Dietary restrictions: Would accomedate any dietary restrictions. All option clearly marked on the menu.“
“I am a regular at Cafe Juice Up, go here for all my healthy needs, even when I need a boost in how I feel. Smoothies always come out the way that I like them, sweet and fresh! I also love the açaí bowls, just wish they were bigger for the price that I’m paying. Haitian patties are also really good - I’ve tried both chicken and beef. Can’t go wrong with either or! Sometimes the service is a bit off, some employees good service more than others. But other than that, the environment is accommodating and welcoming.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options for those ordering patties, they do offer fish as well.“
“This place is great if you like music while you're eating (and even if you don't!) they have a wide selection of acai bowls and smoothies with delicious fresh fruit. They have an easy to use app if you'd like to order ahead with a 15% discount code when you sign up for their rewards program. There's plenty of seating and nice paintings all around the restaurant. They even have out free stickers all year.“
“Love this place and the owners, Rosemary and Hydn! They are welcoming and have a fun assortment of fabulous nutritious drinks, smoothies, and snacks. Kids are welcome too and can even get their own special small drink. So happy to have them in the neighborhood!“
“Oh my god! It’s like someone read my mind and built this place for me. If only these could replace all the McDonald’s out there and of course everyone could afford it. Our healthcare costs would come down to free universal healthcare. Basically how Europe manages this is by having real food available everywhere. And the population needs way less overpriced medication because of it.“
“Powerhouse Catering is the first place I call, whether I need a simple "drop-off", or a full service catering need with staff. They are creative and the presentation is amazing. All of the staff, from the sales managers to waitstaff, chefs and bartenders are wonderful to work with and go above and beyond at each event.“
“I stopped in for a quick take away smoothie which turned into also getting a sandwich! They are def a quality shop. Lot of other reviews comment on the price, which is why you get what you pay for. I got the chocolate smoothie which was delicious, the worker in there explained they use natural ingredients, etc and it tasted pure. I dropped it accidentally and they made a new one quickly and would not let me help clean. Very great service! The chicken shawarma sandwich was a special and it was so good. They are very kind and great quality food. I wish they did more advertising!“
“My husband and I stopped by this cute spot at Assembly Square for breakfast. We ordered at the counter, and the service was quick. I saw they have an option to order ahead online as well. Hubby got a smoothie which he liked (forgot which one!). I got the Avocado Avalanche; it was so tasty and had so much avocado. I would definitely get it again!“
“Amazing! We placed a large catering order for my Mother’s Celebration of Life Service which happened to fall on December 23 which we learned was the busiest catering day of the year. They were not only able to accommodate but they were able to deliver to the church for us and they arrived right on time. The food presentation was lovely but the food was also AMAZING! We ordered more than enough food but there was nothing left by the end because it was such a hit, everyone went back for more. Highly, highly recommend! We will definitely be using you guys for all of our catering needs in the future!“
“When in Boston you must come here! The service here is amazing and the coffee is always brewed to perfection! The thing i like best is the owner Marilda really loves what she does and it shows! Her love for the business and the way it’s run shows in the baristas she hires. Such pleasant people!“
“BerryLine is a charming tiny ice cream shop that packs a big punch with its delightful desserts. The variety of toppings available is impressive, allowing you to customize your dessert to perfection. The customer service is top-notch, with friendly staff members always ready to assist with a smile. With its great desserts, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service, BerryLine is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth.“
“Binka makes the best smoothies to bring you back after a hard workout! I recommend the Almond Berry or Coffee Heaven smoothies to renew yourself - I stop in faithfully after a workout several buildings away from 11-11 Health Bar twice a week, and her drinks bring me back! And Binka is really nice and fun!“
“We came to grab coffee on a whim before heading to an open house nearby. There isn’t much seating, just a small table in the front, so it’s more a grab and go spot. The pastries completely won me over though! So many great and creative options. I will come back to try more!“
“Energize is my all time favorite place to eat healthy and feel my best! Everything on their menu is plant-based, organic, and DELICIOUS -- I order something different every time and am delighted with my choice! And above all, the people who work at Energize make the atmosphere incredibly welcoming, they even know my name! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!“
“A very cozy cafe in Cambridge with friendly staff. They offer a wide variety of vegetarian eats including smoothies, acai bowls, and toasts. I ordered an acai bowl, and the amount was definitely worth the price, and you can tell it was freshly made, on the spot.“
“I come here at least two days a week. Their smoothie bowls are fantastic! The service is quick, and the people that work there are really nice! One time I dropped my bowl, just as I was leaving and they made me one immediately. The service could not be better! Highly recommend.“
“i had the opportunity to try energize today for the first time today and the bowl was made so good I recommend to those if you are looking for something healthy and refreshing i spend about 20$ for just me which in today economy is the same as eating junk food might as well spend the same amount amount on some food that will be good for you 10/10“
“This restaurant deserves the absolute best review! First, the ambiance is incredible. Very calming, bright, comfy & roomy. I never felt like I was going to push my chair onto someone else which is nice. The service was perfect! Not pushy but attentive. It felt like they were perfectly staffed which also added to the calming ambiance. Last but not least, the food was of the utmost quality with great portion size as well! Everything tasted fresh & authentic. They also had fresh cocktails being made that bar tenders were really putting effort into. This is an all around great place & I'm cheering for them to succeed! If you're in the area definitely check this place out!“

“Life Alive Organic Café has been a consistent favorite of mine during graduate school, serving as a reliable spot for healthy and tasty meals. With over 300 meals enjoyed here, I can confidently say that it offers a great variety of fresh, organic options that cater well to anyone looking to maintain a balanced diet.The café itself has a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place for both studying and relaxing. Their commitment to quality ingredients and sustainable practices shines through in every dish. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.For anyone in the area looking for nourishing food in a pleasant setting, Life Alive is definitely worth a visit. It’s been a great support to my routine of fitness and yoga, providing meals that are not only good for you but also delicious.“
“I’ve tried a lot of bubble tea in the area, and this is by far the best. The tea quality is great (especially the Hong Kong milk tea - seriously delicious!), and they put plenty of boba (that is chewy and fresh!) in each order. The staff are also very kind and efficient, and if you order multiple teas, will pack them perfectly in a cute reusable bag with straws inside. My only other wish for this place is that I so wish they had matcha, which is my favorite flavor and go-to tea, but the quality here is so superior I’ve been willing to switch flavors most of the time to come here!“
“First time trying I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and the banana pudding egg waffle (I don’t know if that the correct name.) they were amazing. Everything was fresh including the ice cream on the egg waffle. The egg waffle on the right was the strawberry shortcake my bf says it was 10/10. Employees are friendly and the atmosphere is calm.“
“WOW! This place is incredible. Very popular but still has hole in the wall vibes. My parents and I make crepes at home (nothing beats homemade) but these blew us away. There are so many menu options, all delicious and with unexpected fillings, I had a hard time choosing. Ultimately got the John Gouda man with extra goat cheese and mushrooms, and they were VERY generous with the fillings. Omg, I dream about this combo and I imagine the others are just as good. My mom got the half baked- equally impressed. Hers was a bit less stuffed than mine. Dad got a make your own with parsley infused crepe, which I'll admit it also hit the spot. Overall, crepe texture is thick and stretchy (unlike our homemade ones) and Creperie might just become a regular spot for us. We also got the Ruth bader cinnsburg, but i found it wasn't cinnamonny enough. Unsure if I'd get it again- would be perfect with a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar. Inside, the cafe is very small and not the cleanest, there aren't many places to sit and you're lucky to catch a spot. They were also low on utensils (no knives the entire time we were there). But, love, will be returning!“
“This was my first time to Coco Leaf, but I was really impressed by their staff. I had ordered two drinks including a fruit smoothie before meeting up with my friend. Unfortunately, my friend was busy so I had to wait about 30-45 min before meeting up so I decided to sit in the cafe with my drinks and do some work. The staff member saw that I was there for about 10 min without drinking and asked if I needed to refrigerate it in case I was waiting or otherwise the drink would melt and not taste its best. I was grateful for their observation and kindness. Definitely returning to this boba spot and I can see why they are so well-known outside of Boston. :)“

“Best burger in Boston hands down! Whenever I am craving a giant, the size of my face, mouth watering burger, it has to be a burger from Lee's burgers! This location is not that big but it has a few tables and stools to dine in. It's an order at the counter and if you dine in they bring you your food to the table. My bf and I were craving juicy burgers so we drove up to Lee's. It was busy Saturday night, they had a lot of pick up and orders to go but we found a table to sit and dine in. I ordered the usual which is the two patty Lee's burger and my bf got their other signature burger. The fries came out first and they were perfect! They were super crispy and thick just how I like them. Our burgers came out next and they came out nice and hot! My Lee's burger was neatly wrapped up to keep it together because it was fully loaded! My burger was packed with bacon,peppers, grilled onions, fried egg and french fries and it was amazing! It was challenging to keep it together as I enjoyed every bite but I managed to devour it just fine. It really hit the spot!“
“I got the Caribbean Sun as a quick choice since I had to run and tutor. I’m glad I did because the kick from the ginger is just what I needed. I also bought raw cashews, which came in handy the next day. I can’t wait to go back and try more!“
“My favorite family breakfast spot in the heart of Roxbury, always a vibe always great food always love!!! The best coffee in Boston by the way!!! Service is excellent friendly warm, and kind!!! Be there tomorrow morning... sincerely Blue... find me on IG @bluebossMvt“
“Best place hands down. Went there today and only had 6$ whilst my order was 6.30. I had asked for a medium and ended up getting a large with no extra fee. And not to mention how fast it is made. Nicest person I met today. 100% recommend to go here.Kid-friendliness: very comfy and cozy.“
“Great Food and even better Smoothies. Caribbean jerk (plant based option available) and Bahama mama might be the best thing ever invented!Vegetarian options: Can customise any food to be vegetarian with plant based options available throughout the menu“
“Even from the menu, you could tell that this is authentically Brazilian. They offer many authentic topping options, such as brigadeiros. This place is significantly better than those chain açai and juice spots in town. However, the price was very high!“
