“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing place! As soon as you step inside, the smell of tea brewing washes over you. I can’t describe how good it smells! I ordered a brown sugar fresh milk tea and my aunt ordered a hot honey rose tea. We both loved our drinks! I also ordered a Nutella cronut, which was warm and freshly made. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We were also able to get street parking. Overall, we had a great experience! Just be aware that there’s no seating inside.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“With so few bubble tea hangout spots outside of Boston, Teamoji is one of the few places I genuinely recommend. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff. I was pleasantly surprised by how extensive the menu was, which made choosing a drink a challenge in the best way. The shop was clean, inviting, and featured a cute seating area that's perfect for hanging out. The drink I ordered met my expectations perfectly, with the right balance of sweetness, flavor, and texture. I'm glad I decided to give Teamoji a try, and I'll definitely be coming back. Oh...can't forget how easy finding parking was, there's plenty!!“

“The fruit tea was a lot better than expected, especially since it’s a poke shop and not exclusively boba. I got the strawberry fruit tea, mulberry, mango, and passion fruit pineapple. Unlike most boba stores in the area, all the drinks used fresh fruit and the tea flavor was not bad. This is my go to spot here. Compared to a lot of other places I’ve been (that specialized in tea and boba) this is one of the best ones in the area. I haven’t tried their milk teas yet, but I heard it was good!

When we ordered takeout, they put our drinks the fridge. The staff was super friendly ; once when I picked up my drinks the cup exploded and they remade my drink for free.

The poke bowls are also pretty good, the fish texture is fresh and not too fishy. The rice base is also cooked perfectly and seasoned, unlike the nearby poke shops. I also for a generous amount of toppings!“

“We enjoyed the tea very much when we sampled it at today’s YMCA Oaktoberfest 5K. The kids loved the bubbles at the bottom. The kids like their promotional fans too.“

“As someone who has searched for the best boba in Harvard Square since 2017, I am telling you this is the best spot. It's the classic standby. It's been here for years and it will continue to last, no matter how many other bubble tea shops open (and inevitably close) in the rest of the square. It's consistent, it's very decent boba and tea, it has a nice big menu and great weekday specials, and it's pretty fast.

Ten One is expensive, overcrowded, and inconsistent quality-wise, with a limited menu and slow service; the only thing it has better than Kung Fu is their branding. Tiger Sugar is terrible; the last time I got milk foam there, I could literally see it curdling in my tea.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite store, drink delicious 😋“

“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😅“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“I love bubble tea, so going after school to get a drink is awesome. Nothing super special about the drinks they're still good.

My go-to order: Large Mango Green Tea, 30% or 50% sugar, Less Ice or No Ice, and Tapioca Pearls“

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

“This place has all the advantages of the Caffe Nero that it used to be without any of the disadvantages. In other word's it's spacious, has a variety of furniture and seating options (equally good spot for solo laptop work, relaxed book time, group meeting), lots of outlets, nice big windows, a great menu with reasonable price point. Compared to before the business turned over the coffee is better (IMO) and cheaper and the place no longer feels depressing in that way that carbon copy coffee franchises do. The people who work here are so nice and there is always a place to sit! In fact it's too easy to find a spot—please visit Cafe Lava and Bento and support this business so that we can keep them around.“

“chelmsford location lychee oolong tea very good. be back to try other flavors“

“First time here. The service was amazing from the moment I walked in. The food was incredible. I ordered a chicken Ba'nh mi and Thai Iced tea.The meat was tender and flavorful. But the veggies baby let me tell you. Fresh perfectly pickled. It was sweet and spicy crunchy and savory. SOOOOO good!!!. Can't wait to go back again. This is a great place to eat.“

“I got the Bulgogi Shaved Steak on a rice bun... very yummy and hit the spot! 😋“

“I cannot get enough of Kung Fu Tea! I sometimes have to make a special trip on my way home from work. :)“

“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!“

“As a self proclaimed boba enthusiast i absolutely love onezo, they are by no means the best boba I’ve ever had but the convenience of being open till 2 am and their reliably good teas have me coming here all the time. I will say their Thai tea is actually incredible, get a 70% sugar Thai tea if you want to taste something amazing. Also always order less ice!
Their tea is a little inconsistent and the boba is sometimes super fresh but sometimes stale. Their boba to straw size ratio is perfect.“
