The Sipping Room by Breeze is a small, intimate cafe in Boston that feels like a genuine find rather than another coffee shop filling a corner. We walked into a minimalist and calm space with enough personality to make it comfortable for a longer stay, the kind of room where the lighting and the seating encourage you to settle in rather than rush out. The dalgona coffee is one of the standout orders and delivered the creamy, slightly bitter contrast that makes the format work when it is done well. We had it with oat milk, which smoothed out the richness without losing the depth of the coffee underneath. The matcha was another high point, aromatic and grassy in a way that reflects quality sourcing, and notably not overly sweet. The hojicha with hojicha foam was on rotation during our visit, layered and smooth in a way that made it an easy recommendation for anyone who leans toward roasted, nutty flavors. Prices across the menu are genuinely affordable for the quality. The loose leaf teas can be rebrewed multiple times, which added real value to the experience as we settled in for a while. Service was warm and unhurried, with staff who clearly know the drink menu well and are happy to talk through the options without any pressure. For a handcrafted drink in a space that feels like it was built for people who actually care about what they are drinking, The Sipping Room earns a spot on the short list. We would come back for the dalgona coffee and a quiet afternoon with a rebrewed pot of tea. read more

This is a nice spot for getting work done if you can find a spot. Their dining area is definitely a little small, but it's nice that they're open pretty late so that you can come here to work or meet for a quick drink with a friend whenever you want. I will say, it felt a little cramped, but the atmosphere is very quiet and good for focusing. As for the drink itself, I was impressed with the matcha powder quality and the fact that it was made to order. However it was also very watery and honestly way overpriced for the size. I can't say I'd come here again as there are several other spots in the city that have better drinks and seating and that are in nicer, more accessible areas, but overall not a bad experience coming here. read more

I happened to stumble upon Sipping Room after leaving the MFA. It's situated in a very walkable distance from the T and a park. The staff is very friendly and the place has a welcoming, calm environment. The Hong Kong tea, unfortunately, is quite bland and tastes like it's a powder mixed into milk. It's a rare drink I couldn't finish because it left a weird residue in my mouth. Maybe you'll have better luck with the other drinks on the menu. read more

This is a cute little cafe near the Fenway area. It's a pretty small space with a couple tables and counter seating. Drinks are made very fast, and the menu has a couple unique items! I tried the thai tea- it wasn't too sweet and had a strong tea flavor. Note that there isn't a bathroom. The worker was friendly, and very attentive to customers. read more

Super cute and quaint cafe I found just strolling through the neighborhood! When I went they were out of the hong kong style milk tea and I was recommended another blend of Japanese black tea off the menu which I enjoyed it. The storefront is a bit small, even standing and waiting for my order I felt like I was blocking traffic. Definitely a quick grab and go sort of spot and will definitely be back to try that hong kong style milk tea again. read more

For ambiance and service, I would rate this place higher because, although the cafe is small, it is a very cozy spot to sit and relax. I was surprised to find Hong Kong cafe style milk tea on the menu and wanted to give it a try. The drink had a nice aroma but was lacking in flavor. It was almost like the Hong Kong milk teas I've tried before but muted. A little disappointing but curious to try their other drinks, as their menu is very interesting and diverse compared to most cafes in the area. read more

Stopped by on the way to Fenway, and got the Vietnamese iced coffees it was delicious! I asked for it half sweet, which I highly recommend. I also thought it was fascinating that the shop featured Asian art creators. Not much AC, but the ambiance is great and I love the light music playing in the background. read more

The hot Hong Kong milk tea and iced matcha are solid! Nothing crazy, just exactly what you'd expect. I'd say the matcha was definitely in the sweeter side and I'd ask for half sweet next time. Also, portions are on the smaller side. Inside is super cozy with a couple tables and seats. They were playing soft R&B but otherwise it was pretty quiet. Restroom is clean! Andy, the owner, was super friendly and we got to chat about Asian food around Boston, and he definitely had some good recs! read more

This was one of the best coffee experiences of my life. I asked the barista what he would recommended as something "different, not too sweet, and coffee based." He suggested the Dalgona, which he explained as frothed espresso with caramel notes and milk of choice poured on top. It was so complex and interesting and I enjoyed it more the more I drank it. I wish I lived in the area so that I could try everything on the menu because I have a feeling there are some really special drinks here. Just wow, you must go! read more

It's a tea shop, it's a cool hangout place, it's a pop-up art exhibit space with rotating artists, it's the Sipping Room by Breeze! They opened during the pandemic and I'm glad to see they're still open and going strong. We went in for the first time to check it out a few days back. The guy at the counter was very friendly and explained all the teas on the menu. I got the Hong Kong tea and the hubs got the matcha tea both cold. I wanted boba but they were out. Teas were good. There were a few people in the shop hanging out and it seems that there's always a decent crowd in there when we pass by. There was cool sketch artwork on the wall below the counter and also on the side wall. It seems they have different artists showcase their work on a rotating basis. Today walking by we saw a sign outside what looks like they're showing another artist for the next few days. Will have to go check that out! read more

I came here on Sunday afternooon, and it was packed with students. I think this is a regular cafe spot for students who want to concentrate on working, because the store is very quite and chill. It like a mini art museum inside. The coffee selection is small, but packaged with signature coffees drinks. I got a hot matcha latte, so good! Perfect amount of matcha powder, not too bitter. However, definitely on a pricey size. I will definitely go back in the future, because of the vibes there! read more

This place is really expensive... I understand drinks/coffee in Boston are generally expensive but paying $7.42 for this tiny Matcha was not worth it. The cup size was small, it was mainly ice and it was very fine (average).... I don't think I'd come back. The store itself is cute, very artsy as you can see, good place for studying/meeting up with friends. read more

Both the Milo dinosaur and Hong Kong milk tea were $6 for eight ounces. We were served quickly and there is little seating available. Cute minimalist decor but for the size of the drinks, I thought they were both underwhelming for the price. Hong Kong milk tea has a stronger tea taste, and the Milo dinosaur does taste like hot chocolate as one would expect. Not bad, but personally not for me! read more

The Kashmiri (pink) chai is delicious, smooth, creamy, and a little salty. It's hard to find seating here and the drinks are very expensive for the size. But every once in a while it's a great treat. read more

Pretty disappointed by my visit considering how much I love HK milk tea. The taste is a familiar one, but it's not brewed nearly as strongly as it should be. The flavor is very light (almost watery), and the consistency isn't there either. It's a cute shop, but the HK milk tea recipe definitely needs working on. I can't speak to the other drinks, but I would come back again and try out their other specialties because the menu is really interesting. read more

This place is just plain cool. The menu has 11 options, but you can customize them as needed (Plus/Minus ice, Sweetness, Milk choice etc) We got the Kashmiri Chai and Hong Kong Milk tea. The Kashmiri chai is made with green tea that is boiled until it becomes pink! (Didn't know that was even a thing). It is made in house but he owner (such a cool guy) and is slightly sweet and has a touch of Himalayan Pink Salt to round it out. So unique, and so delicious. The Hong Kong Milk tea is equally delicious. It's a small place with only a few counter top seats, and a few tables. The music is calm and low making for a LOVELY study location. They also feature local artists which is always cool :) I'll definitely be back to try the coffee options! read more

this is a must visit for coffee while in fenway! the sipping room is unique that it also doubles as a gallery showcasing local asian artists! their dalgona coffee is a must try, but you also can't go wrong with their vietnamese ice coffee(: read more

It was so nice to return to this tea shop. You really feel how much the owner cares about every single customer and drink he serves. None of the drinks are over sweetened unless you ask them to be. The attention to detail like the little flowers he added to each drink adds a personal touch that doesn't go unappreciated. Everyone can find something they love here or want to try! Please show this incredible owner and his tea shop all the love read more

Best iced coffee I had during my stay in east coast. Perfect amount of sweetness. Drink was well balanced with all mixture of flavors. The store is small with limited spots. It looks more like a coffee stall. A little out of the way to drive to plus parking is not the easiest around the area, but it wouldn't stop me getting this good cup of iced coffee. read more

Super cute coffee shop with a nice selection of drinks! I got the Hong Kong milk tea and sat here to study for an afternoon. The drink was pretty small (I think it was in an 8oz cup) and cost $5, which felt pretty pricey. It was very strong--think it gave me caffeine jitters LOL. The cafe has a cute vibe, with lots of art on the walls and even in the bathroom. There's limited seating, but I never saw the store fill up while I was there (Saturday afternoon). Good WiFi and outlet placement too! Seats were a bit uncomfy for long-period seating (mainly stools) read more

I've only been to the sipping room a handful of times but each time has been quiet, slow, and relaxed. The matcha is good, the service is fine, and atmosphere is perfect for studying. I've yet to be disappointed by their matcha! read more

Came on a Wednesday afternoon after lunch for a tea. We got a hk milk tea and a matcha latte. Both the drinks have good tea flavor but I'd prefer the hk milk tea and matcha to have a bit of a stronger flavor. That might just be my own preference. I like the fact that both drinks are just sweet enough and not sugary sweet which overpowers the tea flavor. My teenager on the other hand thought it was not sweet enough for her. Would come again. read more

Stopped by for a matcha latte, which was a bit weaker than I had hoped. The atmosphere was very welcoming though and the staff were super kind when explaining their other drink options. Their instagram highlights some of their seasonal fruit matcha options which I'm looking forward to when the weather warms up. There's a couple tables both inside and outside, but overall slightly limited if you had wanted to stay there for many hours. read more

A hidden gem. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Got the Iced Matcha Latte and it was perfect - not too sweet but not bitter either. The staff is also so nice and considerate of their customers. If you enjoy studying, this café is an aesthetic, serene spot that helps you feel 110% more productive. read more

Updating my review to add that they have oat and almond milk options. It's an extra charge but may save you from hours of suffering. Sadly the oat milk doesn't foam as nicely as regular milk, and it made my matcha latte look kind of watery, but you gotta do what you gotta do... Regardless, the matcha latte was pretty tasty! It isn't too sweet which is great if you prefer less sweet drinks. Hoping the curve flattens soon so I can come back to visit again. read more

The drinks were a bit overpriced (super super small cups) and the owner had a bunch of friends over (I have no issue with this) what I did have an issue with was how they were quite literally screaming and laughing in a cafe with a few people working. Even if I wasn't working the group was so loud that I wouldn't be able to chat with a fThis place might be cute for somewhere to grab a quick drink but based on my experience I wouldn't recommend staying and working. It could be also when I decided to pop in (4-6) but either way I feel as though if you do own a small coffee shop part of the expectation is having customers who plan on studying or working (especially when you are located by so many colleges) read more

Best bbt's in Boston that I've tried so far!! The Hong Kong milk tea is so authentic; haven't had anything like it outside of HK. All their drinks are not very sweet which I very much appreciate. I also looove their tapioca: just the right amount of chewiness, and they definitely don't skimp out on the amount. The price is great too for Boston standard, and the decor was sophisticated but simple at the same time. The only complain I have is the inconsistency of the availabilities of products. I've been told more than once that there are no tapioca left and that I have to come back in an hour for it. They also have seasonal drinks that are only there on certain days. They told me to monitor their Instagram, but my friend got their seasonal drinks when nothing was posted on Insta, but the next day when I went they didn't have it anymore. Hope I'll get to try them one day! read more

Came here after lunch on a Sunday with two friends and got the Hong Kong Milk Tea. A little disappointed because I usually get my drinks iced but it only came hot, but I can't complain. The presentation is beautiful and you can tell the employees really care about what they do. The space is a little small so I wouldn't recommend coming as a group. When I was here, there were two people studying at the bar and another small group sitting at the larger table. I'd come back to relax and try more of their (limited) menu. read more

LA native here, just in Boston for a quick trip. Wanted to get a legit coffee/tea place, and had to stop by the Sipping Room - so chill and relaxing inside, and service was so fast and kind with whipping up a non-dairy Dalgona.

*SOFT OPENING* I spotted this place on my way to the MFA and decided to check it out! My friend and I came here for tea on a Wednesday afternoon. We ordered the matcha latte & HK milk tea, both of which were rich, authentic, and tasty. The menus included where the teas were sourced from in Asia which was a nice touch. The interior is clean, modern, and aesthetically pleasing and features beautiful art. I really liked the soap dispenser in the bathroom! It was fairly empty and the owner was very friendly. He said that later on, more food options would be added & he wanted the space to be where Asian/Asian-American artists could showcase their work! Will definitely come back when the menu is expanded (for now, it only has tea). read more

I'm always on the hunt for cute cafes that I can study in. This quaint yet chic cafe is doing a soft opening currently, but there were already a couple people studying there when I got there. The workers immediately greeted me when I walked in and were patient as I looked through the menu. This is a small thing, but even asking whether I wanted my Hong Kong milk tea hot or iced made a difference! The Hong Kong milk tea was super good - I don't know how to describe it besides comparing it a bit like a latte and a Thai iced tea blended together. I sat down by the window and was able to get a good amount of work done largely in part to the soft music playing in the back. Interestingly, the cafe was also selling apparel and cool trinkets! I will definitely be coming back! read more
