50 Best Bubble Tea near Newton

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, and the popcorn chicken is the GOAT. The chicken cutlet was fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were surprisingly good too. The owner makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you excited to come back and bring friends along!“

“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😅“

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

“I was a regular at their Allston location but the price increase has led me back to their Newton location. There isn't any seating but the food has always been good when I ordered. Providing such a bad rating because of no seating is hilarious when there is public seating a block away.“

“It was a really cute place and we checked it out as an alternative to waiting for when we go to Quincy. We got two donuts quite late, but they didn't taste stale at all and were still flaky and delicious. We also got some cake which was absolutely amazing and I will think about it for the rest of the week until I cave and go again. We got dessert Boba, also good. They also have like Asian snacks and toys as well as claw machines my daughter loved, app reasonably priced. It seems a family owned place and everyone who helped us was kind and patient, especially with my indecisive toddler. Definitely will be going again and encourage others to give it a try!“

“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.“

“10/10 on all parts! Service was amazing, food was amazing! I got the braised pork belly with noodles and it was so freaking delicious 😋 the brown sugar milk tea was made perfectly as well! The food was made quickly and tasted fresh. The woman at the register, who also made the drinks and food, was so kind and lovely. Five stars!!!“

“One of my favourite spots for bubble tea in Boston. I have gone through a large portion of their offerings and almost none disappointed. My top choices are the Avocado & Mango smoothie, Camelia Milk Tea, Thai Brulee Milk Tea, Taro Paste Bobo Milk Tea, and many more. The ingredients were all fresh, and the servers are very friendly and helpful. The deco of this place follows a sense of minimalism which I appreciate. I could say more, but perhaps it's best to visit this place for yourself :)“

“The atmosphere is very playful, low lit and cozy. I could see myself coming here to work, grab a snack or hang out with friends. They have a few games like jenga and uno and a selection of food. I got 3 different types of the onigiri (Kani, Shrimp tempura, and baked salmon) and they were all fresh and delicious. I started with shrimp tempura and it was so good I went back for the other two. That alone will keep me coming back. The oreo milk was nice, but the onigiri were the stars. I would definitely recommend coming to try the food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love this place! So quiet so peaceful it's never slammed like some of the other places and I don't know why. I can't believe people are waiting in line for like 15 min at some super duper crowded places that make me feel claustrophobic. I like to get a tea here and chill on my laptop for a bit, sit by the bay window on these nice wood bar tables. It's doesn't have that super slick all white gloss modern look, it's more like old school faux brick, wood and eclectic Victorian vibe.

They have a nice selection of different teas - for example several different oolongs which I LOVE. They don't have it in milk or fruit tea form though which is a bummer.

The milk tea is great. Their boba is on the smaller, slightly more al dente side which I enjoy a lot personally. The tea was quite sweet and had good tea flavor.

Their products are so affordable - it's a breath of fresh air. It's literally 30 percent cheaper than some of the other Newbury tea shops and they honestly taste similar to me.

I'm a fan! It's tough competition - I think there are like 9 boba tea shops all up and down Newbury now but this one is a hidden treasure if you want peace and quiet.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Just as great as China town in Phil“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“My favorite store, drink delicious 😋“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Two nights ago, I had a great experience choosing and enjoying my drink with the wonderful help from Chelsea and Zlata. Both gave me great feedback on which drink would suit my cravings best, and were very comforting and accommodating even though I took a long time! Would definitely recommend their drinks!“

“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.“

“Excellent drinks, I got the caramel macchiato and my daughter got the mango matcha cream. She said it was the best matcha drink she has ever had. We will definitely be back! It will be our new go-to place after she has her appointments at Boston Children's.“

“In all honesty, the service here is wonderful employees always patient and answer any questions you have The atmosphere is great drinks are low price even at the large drink with Boba it’s only $10 and they don’t pressure you to tip, but with the service you’ll get you just want to tip the most amount you can. Five stars wonderful.“

“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.“
