passionfruit green tea - 10/10…read more review yayyy got to try chicha sen chan at last!!! i considered moving to boston already but this might have been the biggest selling point. the tea i got was not very sweet and did not have an artificial taste, which i really liked. it had a fresh earthy flavor with natural sweetness from the passionfruit. it was a really refreshing beverage to hydrate and recharge with. i initially did not plan to stop in so i didn't consider the tea tasting event they offer but i really wish i had registered :') oh well, next time!! a very cute and interesting space! there are nice tea related decorations and even a tea bar where they offer tastings. even though i went closer to closing, the cafe was packed with almost no available tables or seating. there was a clean restroom available-- just ask the cashiers for a code. definitely a good pit stop to check out while shopping at newbury street!

I ordered on the kiosk just near the door and my drink came pretty quick. They also had samples that day for some waffles and some tea drink that's new on the menu.

Needed a boba pick me up in the area and came across this place. I was initially hesitant due to…read morethe 3.9 star rating but was VERY surprised by how good it was! The menu is extensive with a variety of options for every pallet, and the pricing is reasonable for Boston. I love that they have unique kinds of Boba, including butterfly pea Boba and dragon fruit Boba made in house. The barista was kind enough to let us sample some of the dragon fruit Boba, which was so fragrant and chewy. I ended up getting the roasted oolong milk tea with 50% sweetness. It was a perfect balance of milk, tea, and sweetness. I will definitely be back to try other menu options!

I visit family in LA pretty often, so I've been spoiled by the endless stream of new tea spots…read morethere. Boston hasn't quite measured up - until now. Teaholic is the closest I've found to high-quality and creative tea here, offering a wide assortment of milk and fruit teas with unique toppings. The best part? When you ask for 30% sugar or less ice, your drink actually comes out that way. There's nothing worse than customizing your order only to get a drink that's still way too sweet. Yes, $8-9 for a single drink is on the steep side, but that seems to be the going rate these days. If I'm going to spend that much, I'm glad to have found a place where it tastes worth it. I tried the Barley Mochi Milk Tea and am excited to try more!

I absolutely love Teaholic! It's a very chill spot to grab a fun drink. I've been there a few times…read moreand there's usually a line, which is always a good sign. They have a few traditional flavors, as well as some funky ones. I'm a big fan of the Taro Boba Milk Tea, which has this taro paste in it that's super unique and adds some texture to the drink (in addition to the boba, of course). There's some indoor seating, as well as a few tables outside, but I'd recommend taking your tea to go, since the space can get a bit crowded. Good spot overall!

Listen... we are HEYTEA lovers & usually order at least once a week, sometimes multiples times a…read moreweek. We order for pickup from the Allston location often and occasionally order from Newbury St location. We pretty much try to avoid ordering from here unless we are already shopping on Newbury St because for whatever reason, we always have issues with ordering. A few days ago, we made a 5 drink order for pickup through the app from here since we were down the street & the estimated time was ~30 minutes. No problem! We arrived and parked a block away and proceeded to wait 30 minutes in the car. I go back to the app to see if there was any updates on if the drinks were ready & unfortunately, the app still said 24 minutes... after waiting 30 minutes already. Eventually, our drinks were ready 1hr30min later! Staff checked our order off as ready, even though 2 out of the 5 drinks were missing. I guess the issue was that the drinks were misplaced & there was lack of communication w/ the staff & no communication at all from the staff to us about what was going on, so we had to wait even longer for the drinks to be remade as they had been sitting out melting for an hour essentially. I've noticed that in person orders are definitely prioritized over online app orders, it makes sense I get it, but having our wait time triple when there were no customers around was a little ridiculous honestly. We've also ordered from here the week before when there was no queue at all... still ended up taking 30 min for two drinks to be ready. In comparison to Allston location and other HeyTeas, they are not efficient at all & are especially slow with preparing drinks. There needs to be a better system here because this is not acceptable.

They have several caffeine-free options, which is nice…read more The price is definitely higher. I got a medium bubble tea, which costed $9+. There were two orders in front of me where they forgot boba in it, so the staff had to remake it. There was one order in front of me that took so long the guy almost missed his train. So plan accordingly and give yourself plenty of time.

I just watched the girl behind the counter blow her nose into a napkin in front of the toppings,…read morethen use the same napkin to wipe down the counter where the toppings are. She was making my drink. I just walked out leaving it there. I cannot believe what I saw. EDIT Based on Owner Response: So if you watched, you'd see me standing staring open mouthed watching through the blue glass, look around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was, then LEAVE WITHOUT THE DRINK I PAID FOR because of what I saw. I understand you're doing what you need to for your business, but don't try to make it seem like I imagined it. She blew her nose and used the napkin to clean up empty Yakult containers and wipe the counter down. She was not wearing gloves. Repeatedly touched her hair and face and was texting in between tasks. You might now want see through walls for your kitchen.

I was able to order via Gong Cha app and by the time I walked over from work, my drink was ready to pick up. This location is smaller than most of the other ones in Boston but my drink tasted just as good as the Gong Cha location I normally go to. They have three tables inside currently. I believe they are still working on a portion of the shop I would definitely come here again.

The fruit drinks were all amazing, and I'll definitely be coming back to try others. It's nice to sip and get caffeinated while knocking out some story-writing. The food was also surprisingly great. We got the karaage and takoyaki, and wow, I didn't know a boba place could do those that well. Toby was very personable. He made sure we were all taken care of, and everything came out quickly. He also overheard us talking about basketball and gave us great tips. Turns out, he was a hooper back in the day. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and are looking for a regular spot to frequent and do work/kick it.

The tea flavor is strong and fragrant. I just did not like that my drink was fairly lukewarm. I understand that I ordered light ice, but I've done this at other boba places and my drink is still usually decently cool. I personally liked the Amber Oolong better. I wanted the deep roast, but they were sold out. I didn't try any of the boba or any toppings, as I usually do not no matter where I go. The oats in the boba is an interesting concept. It's pretty much self-service. You order from the kiosk and they call your order when it's ready. The staff doesn't really acknowledge you otherwise. It's located within another store selling some cute things. Overall the menu is small and simple, and the drinks are pretty good and the tea tastes high quality.
