    Good to be back home for some bubble tea
    Monica L.

    Hands down Royaltea is on my top two list for best bubble tea! Excited to make a review for it. This was my first time visiting the Brookline location. The passion fruit yogurt tea with the tapioca boba is a refreshing treat. The boba was soooo soft and tasted fresh. The tea itself has lime garnishes that go well with the passion fruit flavor.

    Cheese Strawberry Slush
    Felicia L.

    Recently discovered Royaltea and I have to say that it's amazing! My boyfriend and I literally had their drinks 2 days in a row after trying it for the first time because we were amazed at how good their drinks are!! Their drinks are so fresh that you can taste all the fruit pulps, and their boba balls are really good too (none of that hard, day-old tasting stuff). I always get the strawberry slush with cheese + boba, and I have never had a bad experience. I love strawberries and they have big chunks of strawberries in the drink! Overall, I feel like the price is a bit on the high end for boba. So I would say that Royaltea is an every now and then boba place, not a typical boba run shop. However, they are really good quality and I would say that it's difficult to find such quality at other places. Ordering pickup through UberEats is also a smooth experience. Be sure to stop by and give Royaltea a try!

    we stopped in here for some boba a few weeks back. the place has contactless ordering and you can go up to the counter to order as well. the counter has plexiglass all around separating the customers from the staff. we ordered the ice cream milk tea and an oolong milk tea. both were tasty. we both said we would like a stronger tea profile in the drink as the milk was over powering everything. not sure if i would stop in again.

    Watermelon pineapple w/ lychee jelly  Peach oolong tea w/ cheese foam & honey boba
    Victoria C.

    YUSSSSSS! Another good bubble tea chain in the Brookline area! I have been eyeing the opening of this place and trying out this new location. I got a couple of drinks delivered including the peach oolong cheese foam with honey boba and watermelon pineapple with lychee jelly. I have definitely got to say an amazing job with the cheese foam and tea ratio with the correct cover to drink both at the same time. It's a perfect drink for a stand-alone snack or a great drink with any meal! On the other hand, the watermelon pineapple drink was good, since they use real fruit pieces, but since I added lychee jelly topping that taste was too overpowering. Although this place is a bit on the higher end of bubble teas if you want to splurge, I'd highly recommend getting one of the cheese foam teas!

    First cheese, and so yum. Exactly as imagined - slightly salty, frothy/creamy, lightly sweet cheese cap atop top quality tea! The green oolong was perfect @ 25% sweetness. Refreshing and full-bodied. The dragonfruit smoothie tasted fresh w real magenta dragonfruit (the kind in TW), not syrupy or overly sweet. Baristas super helpful and friendly! So happy RoyalTea is here, Will def be back!

    Taro slush with black pearl
    Ellen K.

    Small location but offers a variety of milk teas with or without the cheese. I was surprised to find that a large touch screen kiosk ordering is available. It was very self explanatory and easy to use, but it only accepts credit card or mobile payment. I would assume that if you wanted to pay with cash, you'd need to order directly from the staff and give exact change. I ordered the Medium taro slush (total came out to a little over $7 with taxes), and it was less of a solid smoothie consistency and more of a melted ice cream consistency. It tasted very good even with 50% sugar, BUT I have to take off a star for it's tapioca pearls that were lacking in the "chewiness" department. The pearls weren't completely mushy, but they also didn't have that slight gummy, bounciness that we all love in our boba drinks. Overall, it was a refreshing drink to have on a 90+ degree summer day.

    Thai iced tea with brown sugar jelly - flavor wasn't great
    Chrissy L.

    The yogurt drinks were pretty good - lemon, passion fruit, and mango- were all tasty. The Thai iced tea, not so much - flavor was a bit off. The biggest issue though was the wait. We waited 20 min for our order while the person making the teas kept making drinks for pick up orders that weren't even getting picked up. There was only one person in the entire shop. Probably not her fault- management needs to not be so cheap and add another person to help make drinks. The taste wasn't special enough for us to go back with so many other shops in the area, but it'll do in a pinch.

    the fruit overload tea was pretty good and satisfying. good presentation. the ordering process is something else. could be a bit cleaner inside.

    I love HeyTea! Still my favorite location to go to in MA…read more I've experienced the least amount of problems here, compared to the other two (Newbury St. & Natick). PLUS, they close later than both. I have this bad habit of going here almost every time I have a meal in the area LOL. The addiction is real! I love that they keep adding new drinks to their menu... keeps it interesting. My favorite is still the Mango Coconut Boom but I'm a fan of most of their new drinks, like the Golden Oolong Yuzu & their King Jasmine Guava! I tried the Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, as well, and it's super similar to one of my favorites from MollyTea. I prefer the one from MollyTea more w/ champaca tea. Since their opening here, I have tried almost all of the drinks & their mango coconut boom is STILL superior! Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mango. It is pretty much their version of mango pomelo sago (they have a version with pomelo but I like it without). SO GOOD! ***Pro tip: order ahead of time via HeyTea app. This is a lifesaver, since the wait time is pretty atrocious most days still. Usually takes ~20 min to be ready.

    Hey Tea is deserving of the hype! Ordering ahead on their app is a lifesaver (vs waiting 20+ mins…read morein line). The app's UI is easy to use. The wait time estimates are relatively accurate too. Menu-wise, they have a nice variety of both fruity and creamy flavors. Definitely easy to find something for everyone's palette. I really enjoyed their Grape Boom Drink! The sweetness level was perfectly not too sweet with plenty of freshness from the actual grapes. Their Mango Sago Drink was also great but a bit too heavy. If you're looking for more refreshing drinks, definitely go for their fruity options.

Little bit of seating inside and a cozy atmosphere makes for good studying, working, or just conversing. Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba - boba was fresh and very flavorful! Chew was alright as the pearls were more of a medium size, which I typically don't prefer, but they were well marinated. Tea was pretty faint, at 25% sugar I couldn't quite get any jasmine taste. Wouldn't get this drink again, but maybe on the boba, and would likely try a specialty drink.

They have a good selection of bubble tea, matcha, and coffee, as well as some pastries and desserts. I ordered the lychee jasmine fruit tea and it was staggeringly sweet. For a lot of bubble tea places, you can customize the sugar level to 0-100% and I would've preferred having a choice here. I didn't see an iPad ordering option. As it was, my drink was also 80% ice for almost $6 - definitely not a treat I can get all the time. Quite a bit of seating inside. We came on a slow Sunday afternoon and the place was a ghost town with our pick of the tables. Only one girl working and making all the drinks; she wasn't super friendly, oh well.

Unfortunate, but understandable due to inflation. Both come out very crispy, properly seasoned, and well breaded. Pistol legs are a hilarious name, but also very good. BBQ chicken wings are not fried but have a delicious saucy glaze on the outside. Service is friendly, but to be fair, I only ever order online so interactions are short and quick. The space inside seems nice enough and there's always people there, but I've always gotten takeout. Looks like a nice spot to sit, eat, and possibly even do some work with ample space.

The chicken itself was pretty juicy and crispy, but it tended to be more on the drier side for my personal taste. As for other options, like the fish sandwich and the sausage, they were pretty ordinary to me - and a smidgen overpriced for what they were. Anyway, though the chicken was good, me and the wife experienced a moderate amount of stomach discomfort that we'd like to attribute to this visit - given how this was the only spot we went to for food (and how it was more or less the only meal we had that day). So... hesitant to go back, but might give this joint another chance... just not in the near future.
