Constantly long lines but they have a tablet to order or with a worker but it is very small. They have a good offering of tea. They are pretty efficient for being busy. Fresh and herbal teas.

Stopped by here after lunch on our first day in Boston. Staff were friendly, no line & service was quick. We got the hot premium jasmine milk tea & iced jasmine grape milk tea. They recommend 70% sugar for all their drinks, which is still very, very sweet. Probably would've went with 50% if we had knew. Still good though- light & floral. Definitely worth trying out if you're a tea lover.

Mango jasmine
Brian T.

Consistent with their California stores! Got the seasonal mango jasmine tea. Came with mango puree with decent mango flavor. The cream top had zest to the flavor which mixed well with the drink. Ordered on the kiosk and drink came out quick. They have a Boston lobster Molly tea pin exclusive to this store.

Premium Jasmine Citrus

Great end to a Chinatown food trip with classic tea options, sweeter milk teas, and fruit forward options. I also appreciated the recommendations in the sugar level preferences - 70% was just right!

Snowy Jasmine & Osmanthus Milk Tea
Denny L.

Stopped by Molly Tea in Boston Chinatown and the service was quick and friendly. Couldn't go wrong with a cold drink on a cold snowy day! The space is pretty small with limited room to wait, but understandable since everyone was packed inside trying to escape the snow. I was most excited to try the Snowy Jasmine because of all the hype, and while it was still good, I found it a little underwhelming. The Osmanthus was the surprise though and ended up being my favorite. Really refreshing, floral, and definitely what I'd come back for!

I got a Lapsang Bubble Tea ($7) and it was made in about 7 minutes. The tea itself was very good! 75% sweet was really good. The boba however was a bit meh unfortunately. I could only finish the tea and had to throw out the boba. It was very busy and a bit cramped as the shop was small. Overall a little disappointed with the drink, but I'm sure some other drinks (such as the matcha) would've been better. Drink(50%): 6.0 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.0/10

Saw this place was super busy and decided to stop in. Apparently it's new to Boston. It's located right on the corner of Chinatown near the gate, and pretty small inside. They have a variety of teas, hot and iced. Many different flavors as well. Menu was a little confusing but I decided to go with the snowy jasmine. As you ordered at the self-service you could add toppings for an extra charge, so we weren't sure if our drinks came with all those things or not. The barista assured us that's if you want extra on the side, as long as the description originally said it was included. My snowy jasmine was good. I got it iced and went with their recommendations, less ice and less sugar. The jasmine tea was flavorful and they put a whipped cream on top with what tasted like pecan pieces. It was super busy inside so we waited a little bit. They had a lot of staff making drinks and what looked like a sophisticated operation, but it still took a while. Nonetheless it was good and I'd be intrigued to try something else.

Premium jasmine milk tea
Annie W.

Got the premium jasmine milk tea 70% sweetness which was so fragrant and delicious. The boba was soft, chewy and flavorful. Our orders were taken and prepared quickly, despite the number of people who were waiting. There is no seating inside so be prepared to grab and go!

i've been to two molly tea locations now, one in allston and one in chinatown. when you ask for low ice, it's 3/4 cup of ice. both times i got the jasmine tea. it's good, the floral notes are there. the tea is on thr very strong side and the caffeine is wu

Molly Tea has finally landed in Boston. Lots of people waiting outside for their order number to be called. I placed an order online but the mobile status doesn't really update so you do have to stop by a few times to see if you were called, should you decide to leave rather than wait directly outside. After placing my order, I waited 30 minutes. I thought the tea was pretty strong here, compared to other places. It's not what I personally like but this seems to interest a lot of others. I'd be interested in trying some of their other drinks. Their straws are pretty unique. If you know you're going to be here to get a drink, would definitely recommend ordering ahead and just picking up.

Pistachio Jasmine Coconut

Won't gate keep - it was a pleasure trying out Molly Tea! Quality tea with a convenient location if you take the T to Chinatown for food & drink. No frills location - order ahead & pick up when ready. Service is great -- they wait to put the cold foam until you arrive, so it stays fresh and delicious. Price is on par with the quality and the going rate of milk tea these days. Worth giving them a try!

The first Molly Tea in MA, FINALLY! They're located in Chinatown across the street from the Hot Pot Buffet & right next to the Chinatown Gate. We went yesterday (12/11) for the first day of their soft opening at opening time, 11am. There was already a line haha but honestly, the wait wasn't so bad. Total wait time overall was ~30 min. The wait time later in the day did look insane though. My first introduction to MollyTea was the one in NYC's Chinatown! We've been HOOKED since and to be honest... we were making weekly trips JUST for some Snowy Jasmine haha. So, I'm definitely elated to finally have MollyTea here, & a second location already coming to the Allston area soon. My favorites to get: -snowy jasmine -***pistachio white champaca coconut (FAVE!) -premium champaca matcha I recommend their jasmine tea drinks if you want something more floral BUT if you want more tea taste, champaca drinks are great! Pistachio white champaca coconut is my go-to because it tastes SO refreshing & there's nothing else like it! Highly recommend!

So happy that Molly Tea is now in Boston! I've only had it once in New York a couple months ago but became an instant fan, so I was thrilled to check out the Boston location today. Be warned, the wait is long. I ordered in person and waited 40 min to get one drink. Upon perusal of the menu I was really saddened to see that they did not offered the vegan oat milk drinks. I'm not vegan or lactose but really enjoyed how light the oat milk jasmine tea was and the orange slice really was the icing on the cake! The oat milk teas are available in New York but not sure if it's regional or seasonal. I got the snowy jasmine with recommended sugar and ice level. It was pretty good but if you're not a whipped cream fan normally, just try the jasmine milk tea. Hoping this place dies down a bit because the wait is too much for me. If you're not in a rush though, I recommend!! Note: the snowy drinks have a whipped cream topped with roasted pecans on top. Those with nut allergies may need to double check there's no cross contamination.

They have three tablet kiosks for self-ordering, and it's an intuitive UI, so the process was simple. Once I made my decision from their extensive list of options and combinations, it took me maybe 2 minutes from start to finish to build and submit my order. I ordered a large taro milk tea and it was everything I had hoped for. Flavorful, not too sweet, and the tapioca was a wonderful consistency. My only thing was that it was so busy and loud that the staff were unable to continuously call out when orders were complete, or you couldn't hear them. I eventually went up to the bar, noticed my drink had been sitting a few minutes, yelled over, "This is mine, thanks!!" Smiled, and then grabbed it. Beyond that? It was absolutely a great experience.

They offer four types of ice cream: matcha, hojicha, ube, and yuzu. There are flavor restrictions (see menu) for mixes, but you can have any combination. A cup costs $7.75 and is enough for two people. Matcha Soft Served Ice Cream: It looked ordinary, but the taste was authentic and pure, with a rich, bitter and fragrant aroma. For most palates, it might even be a bit too bitter. According to the shop, they use matcha from Harima Garden播磨園, Uji宇治. The texture was also very smooth. Ube Soft Served Ice Cream: After seeing the annual "Art in Bloom", I felt the taro flavor was more suitable for the blooming flowers of spring. Spring should be sweet, not bitter! It also had a very pure and natural flavor, not too sweet, but very fragrant. Its texture was a bit smoother than the matcha one. I'd love to try the parfait and drinks next time! However, you need to pick up your food at the counter yourself, and it gets crowded and chaotic on weekends.
