The cocktails were genuinely strong (rare for tea service ) the sandwiches had creative twists that kept things interesting without trying too hard. If you're a traditional afternoon tea purist expecting white-glove formality, this is not your lane ~but if you want a relaxed, stylish experience with good drinks, thoughtful bites, and really warm service, it's absolutely worth going. The staff made the whole afternoon feel easy and welcoming.

Wait time was about 15 min, which they tell you as soon as you order. The wait was well worth it. I got a hot hojicha latte and it is one of the best I have tried.

Would recommend this spot to anyone.

Hojicha is a roasted green tea with a similar creamy consistency as matcha, and is imported from Japan to Ogawa in Boston! Their matcha and hojicha lattes are truly, some of the best I've had in the city During the spring, they have their limited rose matcha latte which has a strong rose flavor for the floral tea lovers (little too strong for my tastebuds~) and during the Fall, they have their salted caramel pumpkin latte (which has a more mild pumpkin flavor in my opinion). They have a few different sandwiches and desserts on their menu, but I think their egg sandos made with their in-house shokupan are my favorite!!

Honest thoughts: The cakes were indeed beautifully crafted, but $13 was overpriced. The cake quality didn't meet the steep price. The cafe was self-service and some furnitures were quite worn out. From their ig, I saw the price tag was ~$9 last year. It was aggressive to raise $4 within a year.....It would be more reasonable to charge at or under $10. ＊Autumn Leaf $13 * This seasonal special was my favorite. Spiced sponge and pecan crunch were wrapped inside the subtly sweet maple mousse, with a hint of banana flavor coming through midway. The spiced cake tasted like fall. ＊Geometric Apple $13 The geometric apple is their bestseller but I found the flavors didn't match well with one another. The outer layer was cheesecake mousse, while the center was filled with apple compote, caramel, and chocolate cake. The cake was quite sweet, and the sourness from apple put me off. The chocolate crunch inside was too hard to eat.

The cafe itself is clean and surprisingly large, with 3 levels of seating. I picked the geometric apple; made of cheesecake mousse, apple compote, caramel, dark chocolate crunch, and a chocolate sponge. I can happily say the dessert tasted as good as it looked. All of the layered flavors worked well together resulting in a delicious treat. $13 for one dessert is a splurge to me, but it was worth it. Service was fast and friendly. Would love to visit again and try a different item.

I will say, it felt a little cramped, but the atmosphere is very quiet and good for focusing. As for the drink itself, I was impressed with the matcha powder quality and the fact that it was made to order. However it was also very watery and honestly way overpriced for the size. I can't say I'd come here again as there are several other spots in the city that have better drinks and seating and that are in nicer, more accessible areas, but overall not a bad experience coming here.

The staff is very friendly and the place has a welcoming, calm environment. The Hong Kong tea, unfortunately, is quite bland and tastes like it's a powder mixed into milk.

Yesterday I went to an absolutely delightful vegan high tea service at the Boston Public Library…read morewith a friend for my birthday. The space is bright and beautiful and as a vegan I was so excited that they have an entire vegan menu. I was definitely impressed, especially with the savory bites which were flavorful and well thought out. And of course you are surrounded by the gorgeous library, the perfect setting for a high tea. They even stored the sugar cubes for the tea in a fake book, so cute! Along with a pot of rooibos tea (perfect), I enjoyed this tower of vegan goodies: Amuse bouche: carrot cornet with whipped vegan goat cheese marscapone and parsley dust Savory: Truffle mushroom tart with truffle-infused cashew cream and roasted mushrooms (my favorite bite!) Cucumber sandwich with vegan dill cream cheese and affilla cress (another fave) Hummus with cucumber and tomato relish, za'atar vinaigrette, pita Roasted eggplant with roasted red peppers, arugula, pepita-arugula pesto Herbed tofu with red pepper romesco, smoked vegan provolone, and affilla cress Avocado toast with roasted tomato, everything bagel seasoning, sourdough Sweet: Lemon ginger scone with lemon curd (obsessed!) and mixed berry jam Layered strawberry shortcake (my fave of the sweet options) Belgian chocolate cake Tiramisu Pistachio and berry petit gateau Nat's berry cake I took most of the sweets to go and enjoyed them with another cup of tea this morning. I think several of them were raw vegan sweets from Nat's raw cakes which I enjoy but are less special the something made in-house (I believe the only vegan sweets made on the premises are the scones). While I do wish they had nicer dishware and teapots to complement the high tea experience, that would be a minor aesthetic improvement. Our server was friendly and buoyant and we had a great time. I highly recommend the tearoom for a special occasion!

Our tea arrived maybe 15 minutes in, we were a large party, and then they dropped the bill off with 20 whole minutes to spare. A four course tea takes more than that to go through comfortably... I like the space a lot except it does not feel as old fashioned or traditional as I was expecting for a high tea with the BPL. It is very clean, crisp (loose folds visible in the tablecloths) but well done.

The tea flavor is strong and fragrant. I just did not like that my drink was fairly lukewarm. I understand that I ordered light ice, but I've done this at other boba places and my drink is still usually decently cool. I personally liked the Amber Oolong better. I wanted the deep roast, but they were sold out. I didn't try any of the boba or any toppings, as I usually do not no matter where I go. The oats in the boba is an interesting concept. It's pretty much self-service. You order from the kiosk and they call your order when it's ready. The staff doesn't really acknowledge you otherwise. It's located within another store selling some cute things. Overall the menu is small and simple, and the drinks are pretty good and the tea tastes high quality.
