50 Best Bubble Tea near Newton

“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!“

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

“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😅“

“Pho Viet is one of my favorite spots in Newton Center! The food is always delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really tell that they care about the quality of what they serve.

The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the treatment I’ve received every time I’ve visited has always been exceptional. It’s not just a place where you go for good pho—you genuinely feel welcomed and taken care of.

Great food, great service, and an even better atmosphere. I highly recommend giving Pho Viet a try if you’re in Newton Center!“

“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’ve been here a couple times and i can really appreciate the effort the main staff member puts towards the place
v comfy place to just relax at for a bit
also the lychee jasmine milk tea i got was yummy
it’s easy to just go down the street to a bigger company, but i love supporting this place
keep it up !!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Let me start out by saying BEST HONEYDEW MILK TEA EVER!! Seriously, I have tried A LOT of milk tea in my day and what I ordered from sweet boba was the best milk tea I’ve had hands down. I am so excited that Sweet Boba is here! The staff is so kind and it’s such a nice experience. I will definitely be going here a lot!“

“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 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.“

“My friend and I came for the dubai chewy cookie but instead got more than we anticipated because of the vast amount of desserts that they served and we were not disappointed.

Definitely recommended everything that is shown in the picture and we will come back for more!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this place. They have great sushi and Poke bowls. The staff is so nice every time I’ve been there and I eat there a lot. Toast also lists what contains gluten so very easy to have things gluten free and they have GF soy sauce. For those with gluten allergy they are careful with CC and I’ve never had a reaction. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Love this spot!! I had the ube milk tea with ube pudding. It was great. It reminded me of a milkshake. It was very sweet so if you have a sweet tooth this drink is definitely for you! I also had the veggie pan fried buns and they came out so fresh and flavorful. Definitely a favorite on the menu. The only thing is you may have to wait quite a bit for your item. Definitely do not come here for a quick grab and go trip. Try ordering ahead. Good food quality takes time.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“WOW… just WOW! Copa Cabana Açaí bowl is soooo delicious! My husband loved the Cocosette as well. No wonder you have a 5 star rating. First time here and I’m not disappointed. From the cleanliness of the place to the preparation of each bowl, all was just perfect! The best açaí bowl I’ve had so far. Can’t wait to visit again. Blessings!“

“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.“

“I went there for the first time today because my son loves bubble milk tea. I’m Japanese, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for your kindness today!

My son has been very nervous about starting at a new school, so I’m sure this bubble milk tea will cheer him up! Thanks to you, I also got to try bubble milk tea for the first time, and I loved it!

Please be sure to let the store staff know.
Next time, I’ll bring my kids with me. Thank you again for making my day! 😊“

“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.“

“Best bubble tea ☕️ cheese tea“

“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!“

“This place is amazing. The boba tea is nice and cold and is SO refreshing. They have many other things to offer too! Lots of food items were on display on the menu and they made my mouth water. The people who work there are also probably the kindest people I ever met at a business! This place is definitely a go to for every boba fan, tea fan, and just people who love amazing food. Very much recommended.“
