    I can't believe I didn't stop by MEM Tea sooner! It was amazing to see all the diverse tea options, from loose tea to tea powder (to make matcha/hojicha lattes!) I also love that there are different size options so you don't feel burdened to finish a big pack! There are also tea samples if you're wanting to try. I think it's a great spot to bring family/friends that are visiting Boston, and I will most definitely back!

    Got my very first matcha set here, and I absolutely love it. I stopped going to cafe's because I have a fond love of making my own matcha. Sadly I finished my tin of matcha and I live quite far in the west coast. I hope to come back soon to grab a tin once again. (:

    Thank you, Mem Tea for introducing me to the nourishing, elegant, and inclusive world of loose leaf tea. I lived nearby, short-term, during the pandemic, so unfortunately was never able to go into the store or participate in any classes or tea tasting nights, but I've been ordering tea and tea ware from these folks for over a year now and couldn't be more pleased. Service has always been extremely fast and friendly, the tea ware is of excellent quality at a fair price, and, of course, the tea is tremendous. A bit pricey, but fair in value. I also highly recommend their monthly tea box subscription. I look so forward to trying new teas every month, and find so much delight in my mini-tea ceremonies, never knowing what to expect! Thanks Mem Tea!

    One of many pu'er cakes they have, with loose pu'er  tea to buy by the oz, too.

    I had such an amazing visit to MEM tea shop. It was not at all what I pictured given the descriptions here of being a distributor/selling in bulk. I mentioned this to the very nice associate and he noted that the warehouse is in another town (Watertown I think?) on Elm St. there which makes for some confusion. This Davis Sq. location is wonderful - over 100 teas to choose from, all able to smell and see. We sampled one by choice and there were another two on the floor that were tasty as well. They know their tea, and have several pu'er cakes and teas to choose from, lovelt tea pots and other tea accoutrements, and a price and description list makes it easy(ier) to choose. As a bonus, they have tea tasting classes and other special events. I'm so glad I discovered this spot and can't wait to return!

    Because MEM sells their tea in bulk (for restaurants) at this location, I go to other shops to buy a small quantity.

    What can you say? It's Costco! You can find some really good deals on food, electronics, gift…read morecards, eyeglasses, clothes, home decor, WINE, etc etc. All included in the price of your yearly membership! Plus if you're lucky they sometimes have food samples. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can grab a $1.50 hotdog and soda combo before you leave, or maybe a greasy slice of cheesy yummy pizza! I got a whole pie once and never again, the slices taste better. It's better for your wallet to get the whole pie but it wasn't fresh, when usually it's the opposite, slices are usually dry and pies are more fresh.....new conspiracy theory... This location gets busy but it's in a plaza with other retail stores so it's easy to navigate, plus parking is usually okay. There are lines sometimes but if you're there on a weeknight it's not bad. It is usually organized too so the chaos isn't that bad. I love costco.

    Parking gets kind of wild at costcos but man the folks who frequent here..... haha need some…read morere-driver training. Anyhow, Costco who doesn't love one? We surely do and will literally go to different costcos for steps and fun! I think as a company their standards are consistent. Organizing, offerings, and availability for the most part are similar. We went to find the Korean Gojuchang chips and scored them at this location! Win win!

    Great BJ's wholesale club. The selection of items was very good and most everything I was looking…read morefor, they had it in stock. I love getting their beef jerky here. It's so much cheaper per ounce than getting it anywhere else. They carry the original flavor as well as the teriyaki flavor. The self check out lanes move very quickly and there was someone there to assist with any minor issues while scanning.

    The refrigerated section for milk and eggs consistently has its doors open. The doors don't close…read moreproperly or on their own. People who shop at this location tend to be careless and leave them open. I've noticed that my eggs and milk are less fresh or spoil quicker than when I shop at other locations. I just went there today and there were pallets of milk and cream sitting out for God knows how long. They were sitting there when I arrived and were still there when I left an hour later! A considerable amount of the produce will be spoiled. For example, it takes a while to find a carton or strawberries that isn't moldy. Also, the printer at the Online Pick Up station broke almost a year ago and they STILL haven't replaced it. So the employee has to walk over to the service counter desk to get your receipt. The fact that they haven't replaced the printer over that long period of time is an indicator of how this BJ's is operating. The cart return is usually overflowing as well.
