Service was fire and this lychee bayberry sago was smacking. Great vibe and atmosphere for a chill spot to get boba. read more

Angel Tea - Lychee Bayberry sago Nectar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

I was excited to try out this bubble tea shop, but didn't have high hopes after reading some reviews. Located on the strip of restaurants on Moody Street, I was hoping for a refreshing drink to get rid of the mid-afternoon slump. They also serve food ranging from meals to snacky food if you want to hang out with friends. I ordered the strawberry pomelo sago, and my friend ordered the mango pomelo sago, which are the top 2 most popular drinks. I was highly disappointed when I took my first sip, as the strawberry was extremely artificial tasting. The mango was slightly better, but still didn't taste fresh. With the variety of food around Moody Street, I'd recommend trying a different place instead of coming here. read more

The mango pomelo was missing the mango pieces and was too sweet even when ordered with no sugar. Most of the sago was frozen. Also it didn't look like anything on the poster. The chicken was disappointing in size and taste for $11. Was expecting crispy and crunchy but the chicken was soggy. Will not be back read more

Angel Tea was a phenomenal experience. Angel was very kind and conversational in her service. the Taro milk tea surpassed expectation and she made a fabulous oreo and mango crème cake. The ambiance is great with quiet instrumental music playing in the background and self drawn decor on the walls. Her story is also very inspiring and the passion she has put into the business is clear! Definitely recommend stopping by with a group of friends or family to try the boba and support her business. read more

Get the real hot herbal tea. Only real dried fruit, like Longan and goji berries. Everything's fresh and homemade so be prepared to wait a bit before you receive your food. Desserts are not too sweet with subtle flavors. Strongly recommend supporting this local up-and-coming business. read more

Unfortunately, I was super disappointed by this place. The store concept is amazing -- the owner is a Brandeis student, who was able to pay off part of her tuition from the store. However, I thought the quality was pretty lacking, especially for the high prices that they're charging. We got two bobas and one order of the popcorn chicken which came out to ~$37 with tip. The teas tasted powdery -- we got a red bean drink that especially had a strange, sour flavor at the end. Overall, though, I was most disappointed in the popcorn chicken. For $11, the portion was *super* small and it was absolutely, painfully average, with some seasoning dashed across the top and a side of ketchup. I was also pretty caught off guard by the chicken because there's a newspaper article on the wall, which cites that the food menu is "all authentic, homemade Chinese food" -- and I'm positive the chicken bites we had don't qualify. TLDR: 100% overpriced for both the amount and portion received. Until there's a serious revamp, I wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

I got the Chicken Katsu Noodles /Red Braised Minced Pork over Rice /braised and Braised Pork Belly with Rice My friend liked his noodle a lot We both enjoyed the milk teas The wall paintings and overall vibe was so nice honestly! The meats is a little salty but pretty good with the rice Not sure about the snacks but he dishes were quite good overall- would come here again Service is very nice too! read more

I got the passion fruit green tea which was a bit watery and not as sweet but they did use the passion fruity seed. They have a lot of options for drinks and even food which looked delicious read more

When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by some cute pusheen plushies! I'm sad that Royal Tea closed, but this new shop looks like it could be a worthy replacement. It's nicely furnished, and they even have a popcorn machine and keyboard! Mango Pomelo Sago Nectar was bomb. If you get the mango popping boba, it elevates the drink to the next level. The sago is great. The popping boba is great. They have the perfect blend of milk, coconut milk, and mango. We couldn't customize sugar for this drink, but the sweetness was perfect. Fantastic drink! The only thing that could be better is the price. $7.69 for a medium and $8.59 for a large is a VERY steep price... one of the highest I've seen. The lady at the counter was super nice. We did find a hair in our first boba, but she quickly made us another one. We'll definitely be back to try more drinks in the future! read more

Really cute, I wanted a hot version of a drink on the menu which didn't exist so the barista made a custom one for me! :)

Chill spot, chill people, Angel was extremely kind and was willing to tell us all about her store and journeys! She even gave us some free cakes! read more

Free range savory egg crepes and mango pomelo sago beverage. I love Chinese crepes, so I picked up one from here and love how they use free-range eggs. The ham and spam were cooked separately, so they were crispy and delicious. I ordered the large mango pomela sago drink with less sugar, and that was refreshing on a beautiful day. They also make sweet crepes, so I will need to try that next time. read more

Angel Tea - Egg crepe with spam and ham. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

I don't recommend coming here. Came with a couple friends to get some tea before we went to the arcade down the street. The concept of the store is cute, but the boba just wasn't that good. I'm all for supporting small businesses, but genuinely charge too much for what you get. The tea was not flavorful and tasted watered-down, and the bubbles tasted old, like they were sitting in water the entire day (no chew, no flavor) The mango slush my friend got was slightly better, but separated very fast. Service speed wasn't fast but wasn't particularly slow either. read more

I don't understand how places like this stay in business. We ordered almost the entire food menu. The only way to describe it is inedible. The garlic fried rice is clumps of white rice with burnt garlic flavor and tiny bits of beef that taste off. We added everything to the omelette which came with barely anything in it, with the exception of hot, slimy wilted lettuce which also made appearances in several other dishes. Both the pork dishes were completely flavorless, and the dumplings had thick skin with very little flavorless pork filling, sitting in an piling black sauce and more slimy black wilted lettuces. They should be embarrassed to serve food like this!! And unfortunately the bubble tea was just as bad as the food! read more

Came for dessert after brunch and since it was a boba shop, we figured service would be quite quick. The drinks came out quickly and were okay. They lacked a bit of flavor, but tasted as they should. The food does take a while to make, so be prepared to wait! The crepes came with boba in them which I wasn't a huge fan of and wish it was listed as one of the ingredients on their menu. read more

Could not recommend boba from here. I ordered a taro, it tasted like cumin seasoning, my friend got strawberry it was literally BROWN, and my friend ordered mango that tasted like Vanilla. It's cheap but definitely not worth it. read more

3.5/5 stars if could. Customer service was excellent, super friendly and kind. Got a free chain which was such a nice surprise! The ramen was great, soft, chewy and heated nicely. Would definently go back for the ramen but the boba tea was not to my liking. Boba was a little bit harder, less chewy. Tea was flavorful but not the best compared to other brands. Would go back again though! read more

I always love going here after I hit up the arcade next door. They have a diverse selection of drinks that all taste pretty good-- I especially like the sparkling fruit drinks. The store is one of a kind and has a very family energy feel to their meals. It's homey! The staff are all really nice and welcoming to each customers, and the ambiance is really cute and bright. Of course the place isn't perfect, it's really pricey and since there is only 1-2 people running the shop there tends to have long waits. Overall it's a really nice family run restaurant. read more

I LOVE her story (the owner) and genuinely wanted to support but the teas were not good. The matcha tasted rotten and my brown sugar tea did not taste like brown sugar at all. It was also overpriced, two medium drinks totaled $16 when down the street at Kung Fu tea you can get two large teas for $14. I hate to speak negatively about this place because the owner is a young girl but I think it is best to improve on tea making. read more

Came in to try mango boba. good taste and was very nice to talk to the owner. everyone hating for no reason.

Drinks come out very quickly, and 6.79$ is pretty decent for a medium milk tea with bubbles. However, the bubbles were mushy outside and tough inside. Pass. read more

Got a mango sago drink here and it was white in color. Would not recommend unfortunately

great restaurant! Its so awesome they can make the boba with just coconut milk, because I'm lactose intolerant. they can also accommodate my allergies in some of the hot dishes which is great! I love the pickle beef and emoji mushrooms. read more

Wait over 30 minutes for a pick up order. Tried the new strawberry favor and taste of the drink is just horrible.Better spend your money on Kungfu tea or Starbucks. read more

This is truly the worst boba I've ever had. I got the taro milk tea and my girlfriend got the classic milk tea and we could instantly tell by their colors that something was off. Mine tasted like straight water and had a powdery texture. My girlfriend's drink tasted like old Lipton tea that was watered down from melted ice. The boba was sticking together and had very little flavor, like it had been sitting in the pot for days. For $7 a drink, I expected something actually reminiscent of bubble tea read more

We came in for the tea, which was excellent, and ended up eating lunch there. We were glad we did. The Coffee Milk Tea and the Mango Tea were both excellent, and so was the Soy Stewed Tonkatsu (Pork) which was also excellent. The women who run the place (I think they're mother and daughter) were friendly and accommodating. Definitely going back there next time we're in Waltham. read more

Extremely friendly atmosphere, family-run restaurant. It's a mother and a daughter and they are both the sweetest people ever. I had a taro milk boba and also a pineapple sparkle. Both were super good. Loved the boba, it was absolutely perfect texture, which is rare. The coconut jellies in the pineapple sparkle were fantastic. The Taro milk used real taro (i think) and was great. Also, I randomly asked if they knew where I could get some sichuan peppercorn, and they GAVE me some of theirs, it was the nicest thing a restaurant has ever done for me and I will support them for the rest of my LIFE. Kung fu tea is a chain, please support this local,family-owned business instead!! read more

the food was absolutely delicious! i will be back to try everything on the menu! Also the story behind the restaurant adds a layer of depth to the eating experience. read more

bad tasting! prefer kung fu tea boba is a little flavorless and their popular drinks are a miss as well read more

One of the worst boba teas I have ever tried. I ordered a taro milk tea and brown sugar milk tea both with regular (100%) sweetness and less ice. Both drinks came very warm and not sweet at all. Regardless of that the drinks themselves were undrinkable because they were so bad. The bobas were undercooked and I had to spit several out because they were unchewable. I can't speak on the service because I had the drinks ordered via doordash. read more

Charming and inviting atmosphere, employees are friendly and contribute a lot to the ambiance. Appears to be family run. The tea itself was strong, but the boba was one of the best-prepared I've had in Waltham. The food was great, and deeply nostalgic. It transported me back to being a kid having dinner at my friend's house. read more
