What a fun and funky place to randomly walk into! I waltzed in to Tea Do to find it absolutely…read morepacked (I'm sure a large portion of the patronage was due to the fact that it was Pride, but from what I've read this location is typically pretty busy regardless)! They have three tablet kiosks for self-ordering, and it's an intuitive UI, so the process was simple. Once I made my decision from their extensive list of options and combinations, it took me maybe 2 minutes from start to finish to build and submit my order. I ordered a large taro milk tea and it was everything I had hoped for. Flavorful, not too sweet, and the tapioca was a wonderful consistency. My only thing was that it was so busy and loud that the staff were unable to continuously call out when orders were complete, or you couldn't hear them. I eventually went up to the bar, noticed my drink had been sitting a few minutes, yelled over, "This is mine, thanks!!" Smiled, and then grabbed it. Beyond that? It was absolutely a great experience.

I'm genuinely confused why they didn't do our 3 orders first. Within the 20 mins, the other 10 customers came in and they still did online orders instead of the people in store. Having previously worked in a boba shop, I would've personally did in-store orders first

This hidden gem of a Japanese matcha shop near MFA has a history evident in its decor. It's…read moredefinitely run by Japanese (not Chinese), which is quite rare. They offer four types of ice cream: matcha, hojicha, ube, and yuzu. There are flavor restrictions (see menu) for mixes, but you can have any combination. A cup costs $7.75 and is enough for two people. Matcha Soft Served Ice Cream: It looked ordinary, but the taste was authentic and pure, with a rich, bitter and fragrant aroma. For most palates, it might even be a bit too bitter. According to the shop, they use matcha from Harima Garden播磨園, Uji宇治. The texture was also very smooth. Ube Soft Served Ice Cream: After seeing the annual "Art in Bloom", I felt the taro flavor was more suitable for the blooming flowers of spring. Spring should be sweet, not bitter! It also had a very pure and natural flavor, not too sweet, but very fragrant. Its texture was a bit smoother than the matcha one. I'd love to try the parfait and drinks next time! However, you need to pick up your food at the counter yourself, and it gets crowded and chaotic on weekends.

I enjoy getting their cold cut banh mi with extra butter and pate! I like that their baguettes are not too thick and are quite flaky. The bread to filling ratio is perfect each bite. Every time I visit, I always get a cold cut banh mi, nem, and sugarcane juice or an iced coffee. Super quick service. The line can seem daunting at times, especially in the early morning or lunch time but I promise it does move fast!

This place was highly recommended by many people so I had to try it but it ended up being quite…read moredisappointing. It's street parking and in 90+ degrees weather in August, they had no air conditioning. Waiting for my food order made it uncomfortable and very frustrating. Banh mi was mediocre at best and nothing special. Com tom was meh. Beef jerky was super tough, not thin enough to tear and just had a sweet and spicy glaze on it sprinkled with sesame seeds. Vietnamese coffee was strong but not sweet enough. The establishment is packed with foods packed and ready to go. They need to add sell by dates or packed on dates to assure quality control on the prepackaged foods. There's really no prices on anything either. With all of the prepackaged foods and no AC, it scares me a bit that the food would spoil in the heat so I tried to pick things that I knew would be somewhat made to order. I don't recommend this establishment and I wouldn't return as there are plenty of other places with better food.

I can see why they close early compared to most other bubble tea stores compared to the rest of Boston. I got a che and a gardenia milk tea. I couldn't really taste the gardenia.

After eating a nice Vietnamese food lunch in this area, we were in the hunt for desert. Coco Leaf is a solid pick in this area and they also had assortment of pastries. We tried two (as pictured which was banh dua and matcha bun). Both were delicious and not too sweet which is what I look for in Asian deserts.
