Great bubble tea place with a large variety of options! TBaar is one of the few places that offer Mixed Jelly as a topping option, which is always such a treat. I've tried a few drinks off their menu and it has always been good. They have fruit teas, milk teas, and smoothies. I have yet to try any of the food options so this review is only based on their drink selection. There are some tables and seats available inside. Staff have always been nice! My only con about place is that it is usually only staffed by one person. When it gets busy, the wait for a drink can become quite long. read more

TBaar - Tbaar Milk Green Tea with Pudding - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I got a large bubble milk tea for such an affordable price! All their other stuff also seemed very reasonably priced. It was one of the best I've had in a while, I asked for less ice and less sugar. The server was so nice and made my order so fast. The place is cute, dainty, warm and very clean. I pass by this everyday to transfer buses and I am 100% coming back to try more of their drinks. read more

TBaar - Bubble Milk Black Tea 茶霸珍奶 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'm pretty picky about boba places and this one is solid!! I tried their grapefruit aloe boba. The barista took great care in crafting the drink, even hand mashing the fruit pulp. A small point, but I like how they use high quality cups. I was a little apprehensive getting the popcorn chicken given the mixed reviews, but honestly I don't see what the issue was. Maybe they've improved the recipe but I didn't find the chicken to be rubbery, if anything maybe just a tad too oily. The seasoning was great! The interior is clean, though one note is that there isn't much space for sitting to enjoy your drink inside. read more

The pearls here are really tasty, but oof I would not recommend the popcorn chicken. The menu includes various smoothies in addition to milk teas and cream-capped teas. I ordered the brown sugar bubble milk and popcorn chicken. The brown sugar bubble milk was nice-- the pearls were chewy and the brown sugar syrup had a great flavor. I was very disappointed by the popcorn chicken. The chicken pieces were not crunchy at all and had no flavor. The pieces were very small so most of the time it felt like I was just eating breading. The staff seemed very overwhelmed when I visited. I overheard them saying that they ran out of seasoning for the chicken, but instead of explaining the situation to me or offering a different menu item, they gave me flavorless chicken... Oh well. I want to give the staff the benefit of the doubt but I'll admit that my first impression was not great. The drinks took longer to come out than most other bubble tea places. read more

TBaar - Brown sugar bubble milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My friend and I had a pick up order of two brown sugar milk teas. The boba was a good texture and chew, and the tea sweetness was pretty good. However, the tea had a weird burnt coffee taste to it. I assume it's because the tea was cooked in the same container as burnt coffee. It wasn't terrible, but it was very off putting. I'd give it another try since the price/size of the boba were pretty good and the boba was decent. Hopefully, no coffee taste next time read more

TBaar - Brown Sugar Bubble Milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Small whole in the wall. Only a few chairs but to go orders are best. Fresh ingredients and different from the usual bubble teas offered. I got the grapefruit aloe and they sliced the grapefruit fresh and muddle it into the drink. I'd go again but when on foot. There is zero parking , one of us had to stay in the car and wait. read more

Back after a few months. We got strawberry cheese foam, Dragon Fruit foam cheese, brown sugar milk tea, Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Matcha. Also got Taiwanese fried chicken popcorn and mango crepe cake. Both Cheese Foam drinks were delicious. The strawberry on was so favorful. The brown sugar drinks are decent. The Popcorn Chicken was alright but the Mango Crepe Cake was a winner. The bit of mango in it was perfect. Definitely will be back for more read more

Milk tea: 0/5 Boba: 5/5 Interior space/vibes: 4/5 I should have listened to the reviews that claimed their tea was really watered down. This was one of the worst oolong milk teas I've ever had, in line with limered teahouse. I got it 25% sweet, 25% ice and the milk tea was more like slightly toasty water. If you come here, DO NOT get a milk tea, or maybe get it with 100% sweetness or the brown sugar because maybe that'll help add any semblance of flavor, don't expect a strong tea taste. The boba on the other hand was a great texture and chewy, would've loved to have more of it in the cup. My boyfriend has the strawberry, banana, mango smoothie and that was definitely much better. So I recommend getting a fruit tea or smoothie over a milk tea. It looks kinda sketch from the outside, but walking in, it was a clean and well organized and space. Not large by any means but they did have a couple of tables to sit at. Service was as expected, no issues. read more

Food/Drink (0.5/2): Ordered their brown sugar bubble milk tea and popcorn chicken. Popcorn chicken was rubbery and oily. Color was anemic and felt like old meat, if not frozen. Breading was severely lacking on the pieces of meat, resulting in a lifeless crisp and crunch--if it can even be called that. Conversely, some pieces felt like just fried breading. I thought the milk tea would redeem it all when I tasted how flavorful it was on my first few sips (after thorough mixing). How wrong I was. I was soon hit with a one-two punch combo of dissatisfaction. The boba, while chewy, quickly turned flat after a few bites--not a deal-breaker necessarily but I had hoped it to be a bit more resistant (I'm aware it's easier said than done). Meanwhile, my milk tea started to taste like...water...after about halfway trying to finish it. Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1/2): I'm not sure if it's due to a lone-server-stress or not but service was quite rude-mannered. My orders took about 15+ minutes even though there were only 2 people before me. Cleanliness is average. Gave benefit of the doubt it's due to understaffing. Price (0.5/1): Given the food quality, I think the price is on the expensive side. Nevertheless, the location is quite accessible so it's reasonable I guess... read more

Ordered the mango smoothie . N I got crushed iced with orange pieces n mango juice like wtf I did not want this lol

Delicious recommended 100% Service is excellent Very convenient location excellent pace to visit and sit down pleasant. read more

The tea drinks here are solid! I have not tried their protein shakes or fresh pressed juices but they seem to be popular as every time I come here other customers are ordering those. I especially like the aloe grapefruit tea. The passionfruit is good too. They put a generous amount of fresh fruit in their drinks. They also have good consistency boba and an adequate selection of other toppings. They can be a little slow to make drinks sometimes because there are only 2 people working there, so you may want to order ahead of time for pickup particularly if you have a large order. The location is very convenient for people working in the Longwood Medical area who love bubble tea! read more

TBaar - Aloe Grapefruit Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I have tried this location of TBaar 2 times and the location is convenient to my school so I was able to come in 5 minutes. However, both instances the drink just didn't hit the spot. The first time, the Thai Tea I ordered wasn't that flavorful as I know Thai Tea to be. The boba was chewy, though. Overall, I don't think the boba drinks here would be my preferred. read more

I'm a big boba fan and this has been some of the best boba I've had so far. Especially the juices! It's incredibly fresh with all the fruit there. They have great desserts. They had outdoor seating last I was there but I took mine to go. Very cute setup and there is literally a flavor for every one! read more

I have ordered boba from this shop in the past few months and they consistently never have my order ready on time. They only ever have one staff member working. I always order ahead of time on Grubhub for a specific pick up time and whenever I go in, the order is NEVER ready. I always end up waiting 15-20 extra minutes. The most recent incident that happened was when I placed an order for 7 boba drinks, again ahead of time to be picked up. I went in and was told it would be a 15 min wait. As I waited, single people would come in after me and order drinks as well. What really got me upset was that the worker proceeded to make their drinks and skip over my order repeatedly. In the end, I left 45 minutes later and extremely frustrated. Highly recommend if you do a group order, do not go at the pick up time you choose and go one hour later. I understand if there are staffing issues but if you can only have one person on staff, do not choose to have grubhub as one of your resources for customers. I personally will never be placing a group order from this shop again. read more

More variety than KungFu Tea and it's cheaper! They have quite a few smoothies, fruit juices, and boba with any kind of topping you'd like. They also have various shots of wheatgrass and other things if you're into that. I'd say they're a little more similar to ViVi Tea than KungFu, and their snack items are pretty solid if you enjoy Asian street food flavors. With that being said however, I can't say I'm a fan of their popcorn chicken. It just doesn't seem to be very crispy at all--an adjustment to the batter would probably fix this since it's freshly fried. read more

Extremely slow service. It took 20+minutes for a cup of iced tea without toppings. There were two employees but only one girl was actually working (taking orders and making drinks). read more

I think what separates TBaar from the rest is how fresh their teas are. Service was quick and served with a smile -- a rarity among the Boba shops. Love the setup. And a huge fan of the vibes. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the takoyaki combo with milk tea. The takoyaki was very fishy inside maybe the octopus undercooked or not fresh. I called the restaurant and told the lady on the phone about that, but she said she's busy and will call me back. After 2 hours still no phone call, very unprofessional. The milk tea I asked for 50% sugar, but still very sweet and for the bubble was was alright. read more

TBaar - Fresh Dragon Fruit Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The only negative thing I can think of is that I can't believe I didn't know this shop right near my apartment all this time! I got a taro milk tea with boba, which I've had at a bunch of different bubble tea places, and this one was definitely the best. The shop is decorated very well and was very cute, and they have a big dispenser of hand sanitizer available to customers so it was a safe way to have a delicious treat. Definitely coming here again! read more

This place is on my way home, and I love being able to pick up on my way past. I'm a huge fan of both the okonomiyaki and the takoyaki. If you want to do takeout, call directly instead of ordering through an app -- I've had some trouble with my orders not going through. The staff is super friendly, and the space is very nice. read more

I came here yesterday afternoon. Looks like they just opened a week ago. I ordered Green Energy and Takoyaki. The juice is really healthy. I saw they put lots of fresh veggies into the blender. Takoyaki is tasty as well. Next time definitely try purple potato fries and chicken wings! read more

TBaar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'm sorry. I have tried a lot of boba places and lot of variants of milk teas and this by far is my least favorite. I ordered a Taro Milk tea with boba and it was subpar. For starters the tea itself tasted like powdered milk and even had a grainy texture. The pearls were also lacking in flavor and texture as well. read more

So glad to find a boba tea shop near the Longwood medical area. The brown sugar boba drink was delicious with perfectly cooked boba. I also got the popcorn chicken which was crispy and juicy. I definitely plan to return! read more

It's amazing bubble tea but they only ever have 1 person working and it takes 20+ minutes to get your tea so is it worth it?

Being a big Boba fan and looking to try all the places in the area, I tried TBaar and I was blown away. The tapioca they use are so sweet, and the tea is fresh as can be. By far the best Boba I've had in Boston. Plus, they offered me another drink to try for free! All around awesome experience, and had some great music playing in the place. read more
