A recommended stop. Come for the tour or even just to sit in the tea room and enjoy the tea tasting with the atmosphere. The five tea available for tasting was decent. I came with low expectations due to some reviews and as someone who has had good teas. But all five teas I had was right on in terms of what they are - the taste, the finish, and the color. I was impressed for a $4.50 bottomless cup of tea. The scones were delicious and a nice snack. Didn't get to do the tour since weather was rainy and cold but looking from the tea room, seemed fun and good opportunity to learn the history behind in all. read more

I was literally in tea heaven!! I love tea and this was on my list when planning this trip. We didn't go on the tour, instead we went to the tea room and sampled the teas they had available. The sampling is $4.50 and refillable during your entire stay. The tea is hot and all were good. They have both green and black. The only one that was not to my liking was the Souchong due to the smokiness of the tea. It literally was like drinking a campfire. The tea room gift shop is AMAZING. SO MANY tea pots and cups and teas. I had such a a hard time making decisions. The staff was super friendly and the place is clean and organized and so appealing to the tea lovers like myself. read more

It is a must stop! 1. Tea I am not sure of the authenticity of the 5 tea that was thrown away and its taste as we try it today, but I like the idea. It is also self-service and bottomless. However, no one drinks hot tea bottomless much and it is actually quite Bad tea! I was disappointed with all 5. I guess Chinese sold their worst tea to America back then. 2. Bakery - very good cinnamon scone here is legendary! Those who know the authentic taste of cinnamon scone, this is the one. Decade or so ago, before Panera bread was bought out by Krispy Kreme owners they used to have a good cinnamon scone, remember? This is the taste! All their bakery items taste amazing! 3. Service: self-service. You pay and go to the dining area and help yourself 4. Ambience: old school house like 5. Store and gift shop has good items too All in all, a must stop in Boston! read more

We were visiting Boston with our small dog and had this attraction on our list. We called ahead, and a wonderful staff member assisted us with answering our questions since we had our dog with us and needed to plan accordingly. We learned that we did not need to do the museum tour or pay admission to solely enjoy Abigail's Tea Room, which was our preference on this visit. We were traveling by car and in need of parking, and Abigail's Tea Room's website provided detailed information and recommended parking garages nearby as well as information for validated parking for visitors. The tid-bit of information that we were most thrilled to receive was that Abigail's Tea Room has an outdoor back patio that is dog friendly to well-mannered, leashed dogs, with permission. We're very grateful they allowed our dog to join us on this lovely visit! The tea room is charming and offers a variety of historical teas and a small menu of food items. It's cafe style where you order and pay at the counter and collect your items when ready. We enjoyed their 5 historical teas sampling, an order of their cranberry orange scone, and a chicken salad sandwich, all of which were delicious. Loved the view from their back patio/deck, too. This was a fantastic visit and a fun and informative way to immerse yourself in the events of the Boston Tea Party. It's definitely worth a visit! read more

The tea selection is excellent, great variety, definitely worth a visit. I'd heard they offer samples, but may have been old information, didn't see any available (nothing obvious). This is also a great place to grab souvenirs if you're just looking for something simple, they have a pretty good selection. read more

I came here with a friend from out of town on our visit to Boston. Parking nearby seems challenging; I'd recommend taking the free Silver Line Bus and walking about 8 minutes from the Courthouse stop. You do not require a reservation or a ticket to go to the Tea Room and you can get into the gift shop from the museum on your way to the Tea Room. We got the bottomless tea (without a souvenir mug) for approx $5. There were 5 types of tea to try (2 green, 3 black) and these are the exact - modern attempts at an exact teas that colonists drank during the colonial - revolutionary war era. Each tea includes a small info card about where it originated from and historical context about individuals who drank this tea. You are able to sample the 5 teas to find your favorite (mine was the strongest black tea that had a unique smokey scent and flavor!). They have a liquid tea dump if you really don't like a tea and are encouraged to just dump and move on to another tea. I recommend sampling a bit of each tea until you find the one you like the most and just getting a full cup of that. Overall 5/5 on the tea tasting for the price and what a unique historic experience! Pumpkin muffin 5/5, not overalls sweet, reminded me of a less sweet version of the pumpkin bread from Starbucks. Soft and fresh. There are employees dressed up in colonial attire who can answer historic questions you have. This overlooks the Tea Party Boat and the water which is very nice and a lovely way to spend some time. read more

I thought this would be kind of gimmicky overpriced unremarkable food. I was totally surprised that the food was good - clam chowder and broccoli cheese soup, tea platter and some cookies. The service was friendly. There are all the colonial vibes. It was a great stop for tea to give my teens a full Boston tea party experience. Well done! read more

Brief Summary: - Located on a bridge (so cool!) - The ticket booth is for the tour of the Boston Tea Party - Entrance to the building first leads to the gift store - Further on the left, there is the way to the snacks and tea tasting - Recommend the tea tasting with a mug This museum is located on the middle of one of the bridges in Boston, and it's close to the pier. While it is on the water, it is not on a ship; it's mostly a building propped up alongside the bridge, so no motion sickness or shaking about. The entrance was tricky to figure out, especially if there is a flock of students lining up in front to buy tickets. We were focused on eating and drinking tea, so we slithered through the crowd and entered from the two double doors. Inside, we are welcomed by stuffs related to tea: teapots, tea cups, tea bags and tea leaves, Boston Tea Party historical replica items, and so on. We bought some tea bags after the visit. Leading into the back on the left hand side, there is a doorway that leads to a narrow suspended bridge to the backside of another building. Once inside this building, this is Abigail's Tea Room. This vast building has dozen of tables to sit down, and on the other side of the building, separated by a wall, there is the counter to buy snacks and drinks. We went up and chose the tea tasting, and the staff handed us a mug. Inside the seating area, there were 5 tea dispensers of different tea leaves and temperatures. The hottest one was on the rightmost side and it grew to "easy to drink" temperature on the left. This is intentional as the staff explained, however, all of them were warm to hot. The easiest to drink, or the tea that was most familiar in taste to me was the two teas on the left. They were light and smooth tongue feel. The middle one was alright and then the two on the right, those tasted very roasted. I would associate this one as tree bark -- but that doesn't sound very good does it? I'll say it was an acquired taste. I loved how this tea tasting was like an 'all you can drink' as long as you have the mug in hand. We were able to relax after walking for blocks in town, so this was a comfortable moment. Since we sat near the windows, we were able to witness a group of students attending the Boston Tea Party tour on ship anchored beside the building we were at. It's impossible to hear what the tour guide was saying, but it looked like an informative and interactive tour experience. An additional side note, we went our ways for another walk around Boston and returned back here to try more of their tea. On the second visit, we tried the iced tea. This, however, didn't have the robust tea flavor as the tea tasting dispensers, so I would suggest sticking with the hot teas. read more

Absolute five stars all the way! What a fun thing to do after attending one of the tea party tours! I believe you don't even need to do a tour to come upstairs and have some snacks and tea. But, since I did do the tour on a recommendation from a local friend, and I love tea, I wasn't skipping the chance to do a tasting of the 5 colonial tea types thrown into the Boston harbor on 16 December, 1773. When you come upstairs it smells wonderful - they're making fresh cookies and scones for sale and you can certainly smell them! It's very cheap to do a tasting at around $5 for unlimited tea and $8.95 to include a cute little souvenir mug. They have a nice bathroom and the seating area is large and neat with walls of windows overlooking the bay and free wifi. I sat here for about an hour charging my phone, drinking warm tea, warming up, and going through photos from the day's adventures. Loved it! The teas are all wonderful and delicious with some green teas, black teas and others. I'm sure everyone can find one they love and creamer and sugar is available as well. read more

After the historical tour @bostonteapartyships, we went to Abigail's Tea Room and for $3.99 get a mug to try the historic teas thrown overboard back at the Boston Tea Party. There were 2 green teas: Singlo and Young Hyson Green Tea. The Bohea is similar to Lipton Tea. Congou was a little heavier. Then Souchong was from Fujian province, where my family is from. It was like smoky charcoal to smell and taste. What a budget way to enjoy and learn history! read more

Abigail's Tea Room - Boston crème pie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place was SO fun! One of the highlights of my trip! Whoever thought this up is a genius. Admission to the museum isn't required. You walk into the tearoom through the gift shop. I bought the tea tasting and souvenir cup package, as well as a scone and Boston cream pie. Then you get to try all 5 brands of tea that were thrown into the sea. It's self serve. So you can taste only or go back and get full cups. I got one to go even. The tea room is decorated really cute and has historic artifacts around the room. I just found it adorable and hilarious read more

Fun experience, if you like tea. You can either do the tasting or the teapot but not both. We did not like the smoked tea but the rest were good read more

You're led to this eatery after the Boston Tea Party Museum tour ends, which is a great marketing move, but you can also come here without being a part of the museum. It has views of the waterway if you just want to have tea and snacks. It's also got a gimmick where you buy a cup and try all the original tea blends that were thrown overboard. It's a fun gimmick to end the tour and a nice place to sit and relax after the museum before you head to your next site visit. The souchong black tea was my favorite. read more

I took photos of the actual boston tea party re-enactment, but not the tea room, my bad! Pretty cosy place but still decent amount of seating. I'm not sure how busy this place gets overall as I went on an off day Jan 3. $3.99 for tea tasting, unlimited, is a definite must after doing the re-enactment/tour. If not interested in the tour or have already done it, can also just go straight here. Two of the teas have a smoke flavor which I thought was interesting, the last one in the line being the strongest. I also got the cheddar scone with it which was good. read more

Look, it's not about the tea. It's not about the food. I tried every tea and none of them were good. I love tea. One was honestly so gross, I started choking. Not one staff member even blinked. They were like "the smoky one, yeah?" And in between gasping I was like "yeah." My chowder was not great. But this was the highlight of my trip. I have never laughed so hard. I had the time of my life. I watched people throw crates overboard as I sipped on some of the worst beverages of my life. I drank every type of tea they threw in the harbor. This is the clout I need to be respected back home. I can honestly say now that the tea had it coming. Just beware that smoky tea, it's taking prisoners. read more

A group of us came yesterday for the Boston tea party tour and has free time before our tour so decided to stop in. The second you walked up you can smell the fresh baked pastries and goodies. The cashier was so nice and personable. I did not get many pictures but when you order a tea they give you a to go cup and you can choose between light to darkest tea. I also had the chicken sandwich was good but not excellent. The cinnamon scone and the New England clam chowder we're definitely more of a better option. Thank you for the great tea party experience. read more

We came here after the Boston Tea Party tour! The price for the tea tasting was fair as it was around $3.99. You get five teas to taste test but the only reason docked 1 star was it took a while for them to refill the teas and had to taste test only 2/5 for a bit before they finally refilled it. If you're a tea fanatic definitely give it a try! read more

Came here to do a tea tasting and I am assuming because of covid they got rid of all actual cups/ plates etc. everything was either to go containers or paper cups. Killed the ambiance since everyone's else's experience looked just a little better. Reminded me of my old elementary school cafeteria. Buy your food in to go stuff and bring it to go sit down. The place was decorated nicely and staff came around to clean tables between guests. The music was themed nicely as well. I wouldn't come back here unless for someone who specifically wanted to try the tea and see the history of the Boston tea party. read more

I am happy to see that the Tea Room has re-opened now. Passing by the Tea Room every time I walked on Congress Street Bridge, the view of the Museum was stunning. On occasion, I saw the statue of Samuel Adams in front of the Tea Room had a mask on. I hope we all can take off the masks soon. Last time I entered the Tea Room was when it opened about ten years ago. The interior of the room was beautiful and the several types of tea offered was okay. It since has been on the checklists of tourists visiting Boston. read more

While waiting for my tour of the museum to start, I headed up stairs with my son to grab some tea. They have a whole bakery upstairs and it was so hard to avoid the cookies and pastries! We opted for some iced tea because it was quite the scorcher outside. I also grabbed a few other trinkets in the gift shop down stairs and some really good boxed cookies. It's a cute little shop and you have to stop in for some tea (or a drink of your choice) while you're at the Boston Tea Party Museum! read more

Such a delightful tea room blessed with history, warm ambiance and beautiful city views of Boston. Stopped in with my daughter Mothers Day while the grandson & son-in-law played on the playground across the bridge. We had a lovely, relaxing visit chatting while enjoying the tea sampling, fresh baked cookies & scones. The teas in the unlimited sampling are mostly Chinese teas that were thrown overboard during the Boston Tea Party. Most deserved to be thrown overboard! Beware of the "Smokey" one. I didn't read the description before drinking and thought I had a mouthful of BBQ. Kinda gross! But, the others were fine and I even had 2 cups of a good black tea. My daughter sipped on a cocktail from the bakery/bar. The cookies and scones were very good. There are staff in period costumes walking through tea room and happily posing for pictures. There are ample tables throughout and a lovely gift shop. I think the unlimited tea sample was a mere $5 and prices for bakery items were also good. read more

This place was such a cute spot on my Boston trip. I found it very enjoyable to be able to taste part of history. Definitely worth getting the bottomless cup so that you can try all the teas and find the one you like. I didn't expect that me and George Washington would have similar tastes! Also we had scones which were perfect. The service was overall helpful, however it's more so an order at a counter and go sit down kind of place, at least that's how it was for us and just something to take note of. read more

I've been here twice, but I finally decided to do the tea tasting. It's a cute little cafe that over looks the Bay Area and sandwiched between the two model ships. You'll be ordering at the counter and then go get your stuff. Make sure to specify that you want to stay for the tea tasting or whatever you are ordering if you are staying. The lady automatically thought we wanted it to go, so started packing everything we ordered. When we told her it's to stay, she got annoyed and start unpacking and throwing our stuff on a plate. It was kind of a funny fit. There are people who are in costume walking around talking to people. They are very educated on what happened during the Boston tea party, and friendly. The only reason why I knew this is that they talked to everyone except for Asians. Kind of weird, but I guess they don't want the language barrier. Too bad they stereotyped and thought we all don't know how to speak English properly. Oh well, the tea was good. read more
