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!

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.

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 boba is pretty good too. I miss when I was right next door and getting it every week. They have tablets to order on or you can give your order to a cashier -- service is quick and pleasant. They have tables to dine in and free fruit flavored water to drink. It gives local boba shop w fluorescent lighting type vibes. It's popular with the local college kids despite having a competing chain nearby. (I do like pokeworks but I would kill for a Waikiki near me). My only complaint is they have no rewards program (like Pokeworks does). I guess they know the food is good enough to not need it ‍

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!

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!

We tried a couple and my favorite was their Lavender Forest! The lime cuts through the sweetness and it was so refreshing. The Lavender flavor is pleasant. Their buckwheat milk tea was delicious as well (not too sweet and had a delicate milky flavor). Their brown sugar boba is perfectly chewy but tastes overly sweet since they're coated in a lot of brown sugar syrup. You may want to tone down the overall sweetness levels of your drink if you opt for their brown sugar boba. Otherwise they have great drinks and nice staff.

The staff first and foremost did not even try to be polite to the customers, it took more effort than it should have to get one of the cashiers off her phone to just ask where a restroom was - she didn't even look up from her phone to answer me. How devaluing as a customer to not even be worth someone's full attention. I ordered a lychee oolong tea and could tell from the first sip that my order was wrong. I added the star jelly that was yummy, but the drink itself was FAR too sweet for 30% sugar. My girlfriend's order was almost entirely wrong to the point where she asked to remake it (and got an attitude from the staff with that ask); I should have done the same. Her remade drink was not better than the first time. Disappointing. Between the rude employees and drinks that honestly weren't good, I'll be sticking with kung fu tea or ten one.

I was…read moreexcited to try their bibimbap, which caught my attention from their advertising board on the street. Unfortunately, it was the worst bibimbap I've ever had at a restaurant. There were barely any toppings, the ground beef that cost extra to get was cold and hard, and even though the rice came in a heated serving pot, there somehow weren't any crispy parts. Not worth it for $17. The army soup hot pot that we got to share was definitely better in taste and was properly heated up, but at $37 for not very high quality ingredients (ramen, sausage, spam, and gochujang sauce), it was also a disappointment for our wallets. The vibe of the place make it seem totally capable of being a great hangout spot (round tables, k-pop concerts playing on TVs on one wall). I just wish the quality of food could improve to match the price.
