Came on a Friday evening…read more Got a osmanthus honey tea and a lavender milk tea. Both were unimpressive: the lavender milk tea tasted too watered down. To make matters worse, they didn't have any black tapioca! The employees offered the weekend only dragon fruit tapioca. The dragon fruit tapioca was surprisingly decent. Especially compared to Gongcha, which also offers dragon fruit flavored tapioca. I was still disappointed by the lack of regular black tapioca when it wasn't even close to closing time. The interior is crowded. And there was only one stool to sit on for customers while they wait. But there's plenty of places to sit outside.

I love HeyTea! Still my favorite location to go to in MA…read more I've experienced the least amount of problems here, compared to the other two (Newbury St. & Natick). PLUS, they close later than both. I have this bad habit of going here almost every time I have a meal in the area LOL. The addiction is real! I love that they keep adding new drinks to their menu... keeps it interesting. My favorite is still the Mango Coconut Boom but I'm a fan of most of their new drinks, like the Golden Oolong Yuzu & their King Jasmine Guava! I tried the Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, as well, and it's super similar to one of my favorites from MollyTea. I prefer the one from MollyTea more w/ champaca tea. Since their opening here, I have tried almost all of the drinks & their mango coconut boom is STILL superior! Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mango. It is pretty much their version of mango pomelo sago (they have a version with pomelo but I like it without). SO GOOD! ***Pro tip: order ahead of time via HeyTea app. This is a lifesaver, since the wait time is pretty atrocious most days still. Usually takes ~20 min to be ready.

Fresh mochi with matcha cream and taro paste, rolled in butter crunch flakes. The order took more than a few minutes to get ready, and it's a little hard to know if your order is ready because there is no visual indicator (a screen displaying order numbers would be so helpful). The staff also wasn't the most careful with the way they were using gloves, they touched their face, the register etc etc. Plus the place is small without any seating so it can get crowded and you don't even know how much time for your order to be ready. But omg the mochi was spectacular. Soft chewy tasty not too sweet. Absolutely smacked it out of the park. A lot of points to improve upon but 5 star mochi.

I loved it so much and it's very unique. There is no person taking orders. You just order it on the kiosk. Our order came out relatively quickly. I feel like this boba shop aims to a more luxe clientele then, say, Kung fu tea or heytea. There is no seating really and barely any counter. You can't really come here to study or whatever. I would also say it's a bit overpriced compared to the size of the drink, but it is fairly worth it for the panna cotta drinks as they are more unique. I would come back for a treat! I love this neighborhood in Allston so much!

There's no seating inside but there's a cute bench outside!! But I always just grab and go.
