You have to be a northeastern student to get in here since it is located inside the library. Its actually quite a neat place to stay and get some work done. Theres always a crowd of people and it can be a great place to meet new people on campus. The teas here are amazing. I honestly love anything with their mint in it so I like everything. Havent tried the salads and other food items, but they look delicious and organic. read more

Great to have it in library! Salad is fine. Tea is different from china. I will come here more often when library is full;) Why still shorter! read more

Argo Tea - ....dont know what i ate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Even request $1 for additional water cup! Worst service ever! Staff are rude and mad, no smile in whole services. Even MacDonald had better than this one! read more

Oh, Argo. I had to make sure this was on Yelp because everyone in the area searching for some good tea deserves to know it exists. Tucked away in the heart of Northeastern's campus in Snell Library is a new installation of the growing Argo Tea chain. I always liked tea, but never before have I been a habitual tea drinker. Even living in California although I loved Starbucks, it wasn't something I felt I needed at least once a week. Now, Argo has taken getting a hot drink in the morning to a whole new level for me. My addiction is the Earl Grey Vanilla Creme w/ soy, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something warm to get them through the next couple hours. It's the best way to get through my Energy, Environment & Society lecture both fully focused and relaxed. That being said, they do have a huge selection of drinks and you can pretty much get any kid of tea your heart desires. I also recommend their Carolina Honey tea--if Earl Grey isn't someone's favorite, then Carolina Honey is. Other favorite: their chocolate chip vegan muffins! Vegan baked goods are few and far between on campus, but Argo's got me covered. Beware though, they are INCREDIBLY filling. Can't even finish a whole one with a tea for breakfast. But still pretty good, especially when warm. Their prices are reasonable and I don't feel bad paying what I do for my morning tea, and I love the fact that unlike Starbucks they don't charge the extra 60 cents for soy. Being healthier just shouldn't cost more, and some shouldn't have to pay extra for being lactose. Simple as that. Only thing I don't recommend is this strange quinoa thing I once got; looked delicious but yeah that's not happening again. Though I've been to one by Columbus Circle in New York City, and I know there's one in Beverly Hills, this chain seriously should grow bigger. Any business that promotes health and environmental sustainability gets big points in my book and ought to be recognized. read more

Argo Tea - a glass of tea and a glass of tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Having tried most Argo products and spending unending hours of study time in their seating area, I feel qualified in saying that this place is a disappointment. The food tastes different nearly every day, the tea is normally over-brewed, the coffee is worse than day old instant, and the service is mediocre on its best day. The normal morning staff is extremely loud, laughing and joking all morning, only interrupted by the occasional customer who is normally treated poorly. Customers seem to, for the most part, accept their poor attitudes out of convenience. Admittedly, I still purchase items from them when I am desperate and lazy. As for the positive reviews on here, I am genuinely surprised. I do not know of a single person at this university that likes Argo for anything other than convenience. read more

Argo Tea passes the "Two Markings of Awesome" test with flying colors. Almond milk? Check. Stevia? Check. But wait! There's more: Nutritional information? Clearly displayed. Focus? Tea. Quinoa? Check. Healthy, grab-and-go snacks? Shoving a nut bar in my mouth as I type. Bravo, Argo. The average joe joint has much to learn from your health-conscious integrity. You are a prince among men. read more

Don't go there , the staff will make you sick . I would give zero stars if I could. I went in today to get some warm tea. There was one employee , her name start with D . In case, she made up her name, she is of Spanish /American Africa origin and short and round . Extremely rude woman. She does not even acknowledge us at first. She standing still like had a day dream. We waited patiently for 5 mins. She then rudely asked what I want - no politeness, no what would like to try, just a "what do you want?" Excuse me, we did not come here to be disrespected. read more

It's important to know you must be a student to get into Argo. I got lucky and was allowed into building. Really enjoyed my Earl Grey Vanilla Creme but unfortunately I can't go back! read more

for those of you looking for the bottled version of this tea. There are 3 stores in the boston area where you can purchase the iced version. Shaw's, 49 White St., Cambridge, MA 20140 Shaw's, 275 Beacon St, Sommerville, MA 02145 Walgreens, 215 Beach St., Malden, MA 02148 read more

The staff is racist. I am international student from Korea, I saw Argo Tea was about to close but a guy was operating the check-out machine to help a Caucasian girl with her order and kindly ask her what she wanted. When I approached, the guy rudely declined my request of ordering while the check-out system was still on and the inventories were not packed. read more

The service's really bad. They don't take names, so sometimes they get orders confused. Some cashiers are extremely rude. The only pro is that the Earl Gray's actually pretty good. read more

Decided to give it a try and I now regret having done so. First bubble tea drink I wanted out of three options was not available, which isn't a big deal. When I decided to get an available bubble tea though, it took the staff 10seconds to make my $5 drink, literally. That'd be ok if the drink was good in taste and quality but it was actually so watered down and half of the drink was just ice cubes. I'd pay at most $1 for a drink like the one I got, nothing near the over $5 I payed for. Couldn't even finish it more than a quarter of my drink because it tasted so watered down. Would not recommend. read more

I don't recommend to anyone to go there. The staff are unprofessional and unethical which make you feel so uncomfortable. They used to make mistakes on orders and calculations. read more

Above average tasting, trendy teas. Terrible service. After asking if they could substitute coconut milk for normal milk, it all went down here from there. She acted as if I had asked her to book a round trip flight to Hawaii, cut down a coconut tree, and harvest the milk with her hands tied behind her back. A simple "no" would've sufficed if you didn't want to dig a little deeper in the fridge.. read more

Love the NYC location, finally made it the one Boston location. I don't like weird flavored tea concoctions, but I make an exception for Red Velvet tea, hot. Mmmm-mm! They know how to make tea and they have a great variety. Like the posted calories and the willingness to make little substitutions. I would live here if I was a NE student. Also, the newly renovated library is great. read more

Tried their chocolate mint black tea, delicious! This lounge is located inside Snell Library, an immediate left from the entrance. There are multiple booths and small and large tables with enough outlets for all the students studying, eating, or just lounging. It is not very loud but not a quiet area, if thats what you're looking for. Staff at Argo is alright, not the best customer service skills, I had to wait extra time because they didn't call out my name, so my tea was just sitting there without any notice. read more

Amazingggg teas. A little too sweet sometimes, but so much fun to explore their different flavors. Their hours could be a bit more convenient. read more

Rude staff. I feel like every time I order I get unnecessary sass and attitude. There are also constantly mistakes in orders.

Really love Argo and their bubble tea but the staff here is just unacceptable. I wonder why Northeastern or Argo still hires them all this time. On a normal day you would expect smirks, eye rolls, and extremely rude attitude from them. Better just come for the tea! read more

Extremely unfriendly and incompetent staff. Their payment system froze for some reason, no one cared much about fixing it or knew whom to contact. Asked all customers to pay in cash and the exact amount. No excuses or any sign of cooperation - made customers feel like it was their fault they were having technical problems! read more

Just FYI - The phone number that is listed in incorrect. it is actually 617-373-4202. No wonder why I've been getting so many weird phone calls. It was pretty funny when i got a phone call today looking for Argo tea. Thank you to the lovely lady who informed me! i really appreciate it! read more

Every time I visit this location, it is CLOSED. The last time I visited, a few weeks back, it was closed for winter break. What kind of a business shuts down on every random college vacation???? on top of that, you need to show your driver's license to the folks in the northwestern library because the only entrance is via the library. I LOVE argo tea but I won't be returning to this location. read more

Pretty much everything sucks to be honest, especially their "sparkling drinks" and bubble tea. However, this is made up for entirely by their occasional free croissants. read more

I can't believe people actually like this place as much as they do. They keep their "refrigerated"section of quick food and drinks just barely below room temperature so the yogurt is never cold and won't stay good for very long. Their tea is way too concentrated, their "coffee" has barely any caffeine and is an insult to real coffee, and the staff moves at a glacial pace even though most of the teas are pre made and just need to be poured. It's definitely not worth the money and I'm sad it's the only option in the library. If you actually care about the quality of what you put into your body I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

The tea here is great! I usually get an iced sparkling passion fruit (or peach?) green tea and pistachio macaroons (get at least 2!) for a summer treat! Things add up and get a bit pricy here though so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5... Then again, isn't coffee and tea expensive at most places? read more

Nothing from these guys is good. Taste differs everytime you order from them. And the service crew doesn't care. They were on their phone for like 10 minutes while customers were waiting to place an order. I wouldn't purchase anything from them again :( read more
