    Chocolate dipped rolled croissant, strawberry refresher, and coconut banana iced matcha
    Adebola A.

    I was flying in from Boston for the first time from the Bay Area so I really wanted to check out BON! I was interested in trying their matcha flavors and they had SO many different flavors that all sounded so yummy. I ended up ordering an iced coconut banana matcha and the pairing worked so well! Easily one of the best flavored matcha I've been able to try. Their chocolate dipped rolled croissant was also so adorable and paired so well with my drink!

    Pretty small coffee shop this is. There is room in the back area to sit and enjoy your coffee but not many options. I went on a holiday Monday and it was pretty busy. I am sure it's like worse on weekends so I highly recommend going early, as I am sure the line will be long. I got a honey cinnamon iced latte. I do like their cups it comes in. They had ran out of straws when I was there at 11:30am. So it was a bit hard to drink my coffee as I kept on taking on and off the little part on the lid that has the drink part. Service was a bit slow as well. Coffee was good.

    Stuffed pistachio croissant
    Apex S.

    WOW. Their latte was simply phenomenal. So well made. Beautiful ratio of espresso to milk and the "icing" on top being the salted maple cream. This was hands down the best latte I've had to date and I've had a "few". It was so good that I went to compliment the staff that made it haha. We also ordered a stuffed pistachio croissant which was also delicious. Crunchy on the outside, with sweet pistachio cream on the inside. It's a small cafe with very limited seating. But we had no difficulty in finding a table and enjoying the pretty decorations they put up for the season.

    The area is a little tight, so don't expect there to be space when it's busy....There is pop music playing at a good volume, so if you want to focus/study without headphones...might want to reconsider and go someplace else. That being said, the staff is nice, the matcha is yum (a bit pricey but I mean it's Bon), and there is also just the aesthetics of the place too (plus the "fancy" cups). The vanilla matcha latte was definitely sweeter than the iced matcha latte, so if you want something sweet maybe consider getting something else.

    The price of drinks these days are quite pricey but the drink itself was pretty tasty! Since there's not too many good matcha places in Boston, I'd spend my money here. The interior is kind of small but there's some seating. I like how the shop was decorated and the workers were nice.

    Banana matcha
    Hayley A.

    I have to say that this might be the best matcha. The service was amazing and friendly, and you can see them hand mix the matcha. For a small shop there is a good amount of seating (with charging outlets). The bathroom was clean. If I were to be back in Boston i would stop by here again for more matcha.

    We'd seen tons of people walking around with their red-lid cups, mostly near the Boston Public Garden, but I never stopped to ask where they got them, until I actually wanted one. Of course, no one was around with a cup at that moment. After some quick Instagram searching, I finally found it... and had a total facepalm moment because we had walked right past it the day before on a walking tour and even stopped in front of it! The shop is small but clean. I really wanted to try their viral banana matcha, but they were all out of banana, so disappointing because it looked amazing on Instagram. I went with the Iced Cardamom Rose Latte instead. At first, I thought it had espresso, but it didn't. When I asked, the staff were so friendly and offered to add a shot of espresso, which they did, super kind and appreciated! I also loved that they have an ADA-friendly elevator, since there are a few steps to get into the business. Small shop, friendly staff, and great drinks, definitely worth a visit.

    Iced Honey cinnamon latte
    Jaquelin F.

    Honestly this is the best iced coffee I've had SO FAR in Boston. It is a little pricy but I personally don't mind for a good quality product. This was perfectly sweet and bitter-- I have absolutely no complaints. Customer service was great, they didn't mind me staying and doing school work for a few hours. Service was quick as well. Interior is small and cute... pretty chilly but no big deal. Overall, definitely recommended this place!!! Their menu is limited yet versatile

    Finally tried this popular new spot, and I can't say I was overly impressed. The inside feels extremely cramped with little seating and very loud music, but to be fair the service was pretty friendly and quick, even with hand-whisking the matcha. Also, their menu is one of the most impressively extensive ones I've seen for matcha in the city, offering a wide variety of flavors. However, I felt that even with a decent strawberry flavor, the matcha taste itself was lacking and even had a strange almost chemical taste accompanying it. Besides this, the portion size is good, the cup is a nice aesthetic, and the matcha has a smooth and creamy texture. For the high price, though, I can't say this stop is entirely worth it. I'd be interested to try other flavors, but generally probably wouldn't recommend it unless you happen to be nearby and get a strong craving.

    Hot latte and tiramisu latte
    Sasha M.

    I personally think this place is worth the hype! I've only been here for their drinks so I can't speak on their food. I've been twice and I absolutely loved the tiramisu latte. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I also was walking all day and asked if I could get tap water and one of the staff members gave it to me in a huge cup with ice in it which was so sweet. The space is cute inside but not that much seating so if you can find one great but if not definitely good for grab and go drinks. The only thing is I couldn't find the trash can easily and I don't know if I missed it or what! Overall, it's a super fun place to get your drink and walk around the common after since it's right next to there!

    Really great cold brew from here and not overpriced too which was great! The pastries looked amazing so I'll have to come back to try them!

    Iced coconut matcha latte
    Alyanna T.

    I got the iced coconut matcha latte (w oat milk) - TASTE: 4/5 - loved the strong coconut undertone to the matcha, tasty! PRICE: 4/5 - tis $8.50 for all of the iced matcha drinks SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - the 16oz size satisfied my sweet craving SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 2:45pm on a Sunday and waited 5min in line. Drink was ready 5min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - tight, in this former Dunkin space, w fun touches of art. Appreciate the Egyptian teas offered on the menu PARKING: 4/5 - got lucky w a street spot around the corner on Park St

    The matcha was great especially for it being in Boston. It was an easy walk over from the commons and the service was fairly quick as we went later in the day. Overall a very fun hip place indoors and casual. I thought the matcha was great just super overpriced in my opinion. It was close to $10 do the matcha alone.

    First time having fresh made, store bought Japanese cheesecake. Walking through small Boston…read moreChinatown from 20 years ago, saw their colorful sign and had to stop in and try. My kids and I enjoyed the original and chocolate cheesecake. Fluffy, rich flavors and just enough sweetness to know you are eating dessert. Hands down I go for japanese and Chinese bakery over American and the Latin sugar loaded baked goods any day that is all around where I live. but...... Yes, it's rather expensive similar to other niche specialty bakery prices whether it's an Italian, Greek, French or Japanese bakery. At the same time, here you get the hustle, hurry up and order your stuff and get out of the way old school Chinatown service. If you good with that, then all is ok.

I ordered an Ube cheesecake and repeated my order as it seemed there might have been some miscommunication. I was in a bit of a rush due to limited parking and unfortunately didn't check my bag before leaving. When I got home, I realized I had been given a different cheesecake than what I ordered. I decided to keep it rather than return, as going back to Chinatown wasn't convenient at the time. The cheesecake itself was also disappointing in texture and freshness--it felt quite soggy and not as fresh as expected. Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations, and I don't think I would return.

Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: The shop keeps the egg tarts in a warming box, which is very thoughtful. I've always preferred the cookie crust of old-fashioned Hongkongese egg tarts; they don't crumble or feel sticky in your throat. The custard filling looked a bit overbaked on the surface, but it was still smooth and creamy inside. The milk and egg flavors were qualified, and it was not too sweet. While not particularly amazing, it definitely deserved 4 stars, especially for a Cantonese person like me who hasn't had egg tarts in a long time. Hongkongese Egg Tart蛋撻: The crust is the same as the Portuguese egg tart, but the custard filling seems a bit more diluted, with a lighter milk flavor and a stronger egg flavor. People who aren't used to it might find it a bit eggy. I still prefer the former. Custard Bread奶黃包: Recommended by the owner, and it was definitely the best thing there! I ate it the next morning, but the bread was still soft, and the crust wasn't dry. The custard filling was generous, sweet, creamy, moist, and had a slightly grainy texture. Sausage Bread腸仔包: The seasoning was quite interesting, with a hint of wasabi (?). However, the sausage itself was just average, with a slightly starchy texture. Breads generally cost $2-4 each, and here four items were only $8+, enough to last me all day Important Reminder: Cash only for orders of $10 or less.

    Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

    absolutely adore tora! one of the few places i'd always recommend in boston! fish quality is pretty…read moregood and they have a good variety on the menu! i'd recommend the aburi waygu don but also something more interesting is the kani-yaki tama don however that's a bit more if u like imitation crab! resturant inside is pretty casual and service once seated is usually good and quick however resturant itself is very small so wait times on weekends are ALWAYS long but again it's a given for how popular the resturant is! (p.s. i've been here soooo many times times so i'd also say quality has always been consistent)

    I'm quite curious about the relationship between the three bakeries in Chinatown…read more(Corner/Top/Taiwan). Although their names seem to have nothing to do with each other, they share paper bags and some products. Are they sister shops run by the same team? Egg Tart蛋撻: Since there was no insulated box, it was cold, which is a shame compared to Corner Cafe. The egg and milk aromas were masked, but there was a slight eggy smell. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: Although it was also cold, I preferred the baking. It had a thin crust, and the filling was still smooth and delicate, with a richer egg, milk, and sweet flavor. Butter Bun奶香包: The best product, but I forgot to take a picture... I unexpectedly encountered "Little Swell bread微波麵包," something that has disappeared in China for a long time. It was exactly the soft and moist texture I remembered, and the milk, butter, and salt flavors were even stronger.

They've gotten expensive over the years (now it's about $4-5 for a bun) and the quality can be hit or miss. Some things are fantastic such as their milk bread loaves or taro buns. Other items are just okay such as their raisin coconut bread & bolo baos. Those tend to be dry & flavorless. Like many other Chinatown businesses they require a $10 minimum to pay with card, so definitely more convenient to bring cash.
