Bloome Fruit Tea - green plum jasmine tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Did not even know they changed the name. Strawberry-Mango Crème Sando - Beautiful presentation but the bread is too sweet. Good thing the cream is not sweet. Jumbo Mango Mochi - The mango was not fully rip, not too sweet, a little sour. The mochi is thin. Mango Jasmine Milk Tea - The jasmine is nothing compared to Molly Tea but it does have deep flavor of jasmine after few sips. Strong flavor of mango. 50% still sweet to me, if I order again, probably do 25%. read more

I've been a fan of Yifang bubble tea for several years. I dont know when they changed their name to Bloome, but I'm glad their drinks are still top-notch even if ownership may have changed along with the name. I got a winter melon milk tea. The employee was really generous with giving out the tapioca. I was lucky enough to get seating in front of the windows too. So that I could stare outside as I sipped my drink. And stare at the bubble tea competition, zero&, across the street. read more

The tea was amazing! There were pineapple bits in mine and they were so tasty! It was a beautiful little shop with seating . There are only a couple tables but it's nice when you need a break and refreshing coming off the brutal heat in July. Definitely recommend trying out this place. read more

Quick service in a cute shop. This place was the only one without a very long line for tea so we wanted to try it! I got the peach iced matcha which was yummy but tasted like artificial peach. I was also sad to see that their matcha wasn't made fresh and came out of a squirt bottle. It tasted pretty good but could have been fresher for both the fruit and the matcha flavors. I probably wouldn't try again. read more

Excellent service! Got the Strawberry fruit tea and it was flavorful and refreshing. Coming back to try the rest of the menu. read more

I came in with one purpose since I just had another drink elsewhere it was to try my friends recommendation of their wintermelon green tea since it's not common in other shops. Even with no sugar it had a sweet taste but it's really good and naturally sweet. Ordered on the tablet and drink came out in about 3 minutes. read more

Bubble tea is like 3.5/5 but service is a solid 2. Lady was rude to my friend who needed the bathroom... was late in the day, no one was in the shop, said we had to be a customer. What's wrong with compassion?? In the past for too good to go they've turned me away for being 10 mins early.... Mind you their entire pickup window is very short. Kind of crazy. Not worth it. read more

Very few places make a plum tea - not sure why, the sweet and "salty" work so well together. The problem is, it is usually mixed with green tea on a menu. This place will make it with black tea if you ask nicely. I am not a green tea fan and I think the black tea works better with the complex flavor. This is why I gave them a 5-star. They did not treat my request as strange or try pass off green tea as blank (or worse, mix black and green and hope I am long gone before I figure it out). Their staff has always been friendly too. read more

Probably one of the better spots in Boston if you are a fan of fruit tea. Their matchas are also quite good so if I'm in the area I tend to gravitate towards this place. My go to drinks are the mango or passionfruit teas. They're consistently good and are still flavorful at 30 or 50% sugar. Toppings are standard but decent, the boba isn't too soft or too hard. Super easy to order in advance or use their kiosk for a quick and efficient visit. read more

Yi Fang did a boba pop-up at our office and it was the perfect afternoon treat! I got the green milk tea with boba--perfectly creamy and not overly sweet. Super fresh and made right on-site, I'll be sure to visit their newbury street location! read more

One of the best fruit bubble teas I've had in a very long time! This Taiwanese tea store is bright, modern, and has a comfortable atmosphere. Indoor seating is offered along with a restroom (no outdoor patio or dog friendly seating). A refreshingly different bubble tea menu is offered, which makes you think more mindfully about your drink. Yi Fang boasts to make bubble tea the real way: without milk powder, syrup, or fructose, but with loads of delicious, real fruit. If you want a cookies n cream smoothie, prefer popping boba, or expect seasonal drinks to mean things like pumpkin spice latte or eggnog slushie, look elsewhere. But if you want simple, traditional drinks made with attention to detail, then this is the place for you.  I ordered the Yi Fang Fruit Tea ($7), which was a phenomenally-made beverage bursting with fresh and enticing fruit flavors. The sweetness was just enough, and this drink really hit the spot on a hot Summer's day. The staff is friendly and helpful too. Visit this place, and you will undoubtedly have added a new go-to spot on your list. read more

First time here, came out to almost $19 for two drinks, but boba on newbury so go figure haha. Quiet night, had another group ahead of us, ordered via kiosk and the drinks were made promptly. It's really cute in there, has Yi Fang merch, cups, tees etc for sale. menu on wall, two mini table seating. The lady got these from ubereats another day at work and it was great, this time it wasn't as good, a bit more watery less creamy but overall flavor was good! read more

We visited Yi Fang after dinner tonight & our experience offering in person was smooth! They have self ordering kiosks available, which you can pay via tap. We ordered two large mango pomelo sago drinks ($18.05). A little bit pricey but milk tea is quite expensive nowadays so, it's all good. I recently tried Yi Fang via Ubereats and had a good experience & today it tasted slightly different, a bit more icy. read more

Walked in and ordered on kiosks. Tried the mango pomelo and taro milk tea. Their teas are really not sweet, so I probably could've had higher sweetness level (I did 30%). I liked that the taro drink had real taro in it though, and the boba itself was high quality! read more

I was so excited to try this authentic Taiwanese boba place! My boyfriend and I (both milk tea lovers) got the fruit tea. I got the mango passion fruit with aloe. I'm usually a big fan of different textures, but the passion fruit pieces in my drink were pretty off putting. They were hard to chew, and with so many of them coming up in my straw along with the aloe it became an unpleasant experience. There were also big pieces of fruit that made it difficult to avoid and sort of passion fruit action. The place was pretty packed with people and it they had a self serve iPad so ordering was made easy. The people who made our drinks were nice, but there wasn't much room to stand and wait as it was so busy. We might come back for milk tea and give this place a chance again! read more

Yi Fang is a great place to get a refreshing drink on Newbury Street. This tea shop is located close to the Boston Public Library and the Copley Green Line T Station. It's super easy to find and has space in the back for seating small groups. Inside, there's 2 places to order. There's a kiosk as well as an option to order with the barista. The full menu is located in an inconvenient location and the shop is set-up so when it gets crowded, it's a little uncomfortable to wait for your boba or tea to get ready. However, the Peach Fruit Tea I ordered hit the spot and had fresh peach chunks which elevated the flavor. I'd definitely go back for pick-up to try something else on the menu. read more

Having had my first Yi Fang experience in Taipei, I had high hopes when it came to Boston. I might be biased, but of all the tea shops in the city, Yi Fang ranks the highest when it comes to fruit tea. Every drink I've ordered from here is refreshing and never too sweet. The space is bright and has a modern, yet comfortable vibe. I've been on a crowded winter day when the store felt too warm and stuffy, but today when I came on a random Friday around noon, it was completely empty. There's a little more seating down the hall, as well as a bathroom. Their drinks are a little expensive, but always enjoyable. Today I tried the Peach Black Tea with green tea jelly and 50% sugar. I also really enjoy their egg waffles as an extra little treat. I usually try to avoid coming to Newbury, but getting tea from Yi Fang makes it all worth it. read more

I've been to Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea multiple times in New York, so when I saw Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea on Newbury St, I was extremely excited. Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea uses 100% Authentic Taiwan Tea, seasonal fresh fruits, and naturally-braised cane sugar. The drinks are always delicious and refreshing. I usually get their fruit teas like the mango passion fruit tea. At this location, there are two kiosks to order from. Drinks are available in medium and large. I got their Brown Sugar Matcha Latte with pearls. The order was ready in about 5 minutes. I prefer their fruit tea over their milk tea, but it was still very good. The pearls are great. There are a few countertop seats by the window and tables throughout the store. Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea drinks are a little pricier, but the quality is definitely worth it. read more

By far one of my favorite boba shops in Boston! My go to is the taro milk tea -- they use real taro here instead of the artificial powdered stuff and it makes all the difference in the world. Prices are a bit high but quality of ingredients justifies the cost. Shop is always very clean and the drinks come out relatively quickly! read more

The service is awful. The reception boy was cold to customers, and didn't remind customers to choose ice or hot, and when customers pointed it out and tried to change iced to hot, he was super impatient and pissed off. And I told them the sugar level, but what I got finally is a zero sugar milk tea. Very bad and frustrating experience, will never be back again. read more

My friend and I were in the area and in the mood for boba, and this spot popped up in the search. We went in and ordered from the self-ordering kiosks, and our drinks were ready after a few minutes. She got the brown sugar milk tea while I got the strawberry milk tea ($6). Boba is an additional $1 and is mini sized but still a nice chewy texture. Our drinks were flavorful and still fairly sweet even at 50% sweetness. There were a few tables inside for small groups up to 3 people. Overall a decent boba shop to check out if you're in the area! read more

This is my first visit to a location on the East Coast, but not my first Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea. My go-to is the Yi Fang Fruit Tea, but this time I wanted to try something else, like the Winter Melon Latte. I was delighted with the adjustments, but I felt that the winter melon flavor was definitely on the lighter side. I wish it tasted stronger when it is combined with oat milk as a substitute for milk. Staff were kind and attentive to each guest as they entered and exited the store. read more

Yi Fang is a bubble tea chain that I usually enjoy and this location didn't disappoint! We came here on a Monday afternoon and the place was pretty busy - it gets a decent amount of foot traffic from folks on Newbury so there was a line when we walked in. Nonetheless, it moved pretty quickly and we were able to order within a few minutes. Their menu has a good amount of drink types, but I usually get fruit teas from here as their name mentions them. Their milk tea isn't too bad though. The drink came out pretty fast and they have a few tables in the back to sit down. The drink itself was pretty well made and the jelly I got was nice. Overall, I would say that this is a solid place to get bubble tea along Newbury - pretty pricy, but all places along this street are likely a similar price. For good fruit tea, Yi Fang is hard to beat! read more

Eh. I went to a better Yi Fang while I was in SF, but this one was kind of disappointing. Strawberry milk tea (7/10): didn't really have that strawberry flavor come through. I watched them make it and it seemed like they added a decent amount of puree to create the smoothie blend, but it just wasn't there. I liked the sago in it though, which was a nice touch. It has a nice color for pictures. Earl grey milk tea (5/10): this was incredibly disappointing??? It was really watered down, didn't have the earl grey taste at all. It also tasted really gingery, which was surprising, but I'm not sure if that came from the grass jelly or not. It wasn't unwelcomed, but the rest of the drink was just eh. Service was incredibly slow. I'm not sure why I waited 20 minutes for two drinks when the place wasn't that busy until 20 minutes after I had arrived (it started pouring outside and people started filtering in). There was one person making the drinks, not sure what the other person was doing since you order on machines. Some areas to sit towards the back, probably not enough to fit a large group of people. Would probably not come back for milk tea, I'd try their fruit tea boba next time if I do come back. read more

Normally, I love coming here for the mango pomelo sago but today might be my last visit. The sago in my first drink was raw (white and hard vs clear and chewy). The bobarista was nice enough to remake it for me after I showed her my drink. The second drink was better but as I mixed it on my way home, there was still raw sago in my drink. For a $10 drink, I expected better quality. read more

I have been here multiple times and I must say that it is one of the best places for an iced cold fruit tea drink! I have tried their signature Yi Fang fruit tea and the passion fruit green tea. Both are very refreshing during the summer. I like how they actually use passion fruit seeds in their drinks instead of just passion fruit syrup. Tip: You can only pay by credit card if your total is over $10. read more

Never heard of this spot before. Thought I give it a try. The Brown Sugar Pearl Oolong Tea Latte was good. I like the fact that it wasn't overly sweet even though I selected 100% sugar. It still retained it's bitterness of the tea which was enjoyable. The French Cocoa Latte with Grass Jelly was definitely one of my favorites overall. Again. Wasn't too sweet and had the good quality grass jelly. Smooth to the touch! As for the boba shaped pancakes with boba filling and the cream. I would recommend the cream. Just cause it has more of that classic taste to it. The boba was okay. It's cute for all those IG food bloggers who want to photograph it. Overall it's not a bad place. A bit on the pricier side for boba drinks and pancakes. I don't want to throw out the "Back in my days..." but yeah.. I don't think I can pay $10+ on pancakes...when I grew up eating this for like $2 for 12... Granted it's shaped like a boba cup...but still. read more

Obviously, Yi Fang is known for their fruit tea (which I've tried, ) but I'm gonna write about the taro latte. When I ordered, the boba barista at the counter warned me that she's not like other taro lattes--at Yi Fang, the taro latte has real taro in it that has a "mashed potato consistency" which you have to shake vigorously (that's legit, ~vigorously~ is correct) to incorporate with the rest of the drink. I was down for this and I liked the latte, after some shaking, it becomes a nice light purple color and mixes well. At 50% sugar, it wasn't too sweet, and the ice is set (you can't change it) but it's a very reasonable amount--they're not out here giving you a cup of ice with a splash of drink. Overall good experience, service was fast and friendly read more

Bloome Fruit Tea - Taro Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I had an okay experience at their branch in Seattle so I was pleasantly surprised that this location is pretty good! Most drinks are around $5-6 before tax and tip, which is pretty representative of similar shops on Newbury St. I'd much rather come here though. I was surprised that they don't have classic milk tea (i.e. the kind made with nondairy creamer). Their tea lattes are made with whole milk or oat milk for a little bit extra. I tried the brown sugar pearl oolong latte ($5.75). Half the cup was filled with pearls! The pearls reminded me of the iconic brown sugar milk stand next to NTU in Taipei (iykyk). The tea part itself was not sweet so the brown sugar syrup balanced everything out. As others have mentioned, the tea flavor is strong and shines through. I could still taste the roastiness of the tea even though half of my cup was basically sugar and tapioca. The brown sugar pearl oolong latte made me feel super nostalgic. I'll keep my pockets stocked with lactaid and drop by whenever I get a brown sugar pearl latte craving! read more

I tend to steer away from getting boba on Newbury street due to my own experiences bc every drink I got was either watery or overpriced. The drinks looked so so good and pretty, but flavor wise it was lacking. In a milk tea, I look for creaminess with a strong tea flavor. Both drinks had good tea flavor, but in terms of mouth feel it was a bit watery. The boba was good though no doubt and perfectly cooked, but we paid almost to $8 for each drink so wish the milk tea was great at as well! I think their fruit teas might be better since a lot of people tend to get fruit teas here so it might be their specialty (hence the Taiwan fruit tea name). read more
