    Tbarr - A Hidden Gem for Winter Specials & Authentic Jianbing in Brookline Location: Tbarr, 1038 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02446 Tbarr in Brookline is bringing something fresh and exciting to the area with their winter special drinks and a massive Chinese crepe (Jianbing, 煎饼) that's unlike anything I've had before! Drinks - Fresh & Flavorful Their Strawberry and Golden Pineapple drinks are made with real fresh fruit, making them a refreshing and vibrant treat. The fruit flavors shine through, delivering a natural sweetness without being overly sugary. Perfectly balanced and great for a winter pick-me-up! Chinese Crepe (Jianbing) - A Must-Try! The Jianbing, a traditional Chinese street food, was huge--literally the size of my head! It came packed with egg, sausage, and pork floss, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. The crepe itself was light and crispy on the outside while holding all the savory goodness inside. It had a great mix of textures and flavors, from the soft egg to the slightly crunchy pork floss, and was well-seasoned without being too overpowering. Definitely a solid 8/10 and something I'd come back for! Final Thoughts With its unique offerings and authentic flavors, Tbarr stands out in Brookline's food scene. Whether you're stopping by for a fresh fruit drink or a filling Chinese crepe, this spot is worth a visit. I highly recommend checking them out!

    Very adorable little boba shop near Fenway! We stop here occasionally when we're shopping at hmart, and I'm always happy with my boba order. They have a large menu and great service, and even some food options which look delicious. They have a couple of tables and some board games, perfect if you need a place to meet up with friends. I really enjoy coming here to try all their different flavors and plan to try their food sometime as well. Though it's not the most unique boba I've tried, I will absolutely recommend it to anyone in the area.

    Lychee Lime Green Tea

    Lychee Lime Green Tea with Tapioca* TBaar Been looking forward to tbaar after Bar'Cino for dinner she was sour. As far as i can tell there was barely any lychee and only lime, i even tried to adjust sugar but they said the syrup is set which is probably good bc id die of sourness if there was less sugar in it. At least the tea was fresh and cold and there was a real lime in it , cool boba was average, little hard i think yay boba 6/10

    If I could drink Tbaar's Watermelon Milk Shake with boba every day, I would! I order a large every time I go because it's *that* tasty and refreshing. The sweetness and texture of the drink is always consistent, and I can count on the boba tasting soft and chewy. If you're in a rush, I'd recommend placing an order for pickup (I use Uber Eats). Otherwise, you typically only have to wait 5-10 minutes unless it's very busy. The store accepts Apple Pay, and there's some seating inside and outside. Aside from the boba, my favorite part is the cute decor! There are plenty of plushies that make the store cozy and welcoming. There's a Gengar plushie when you pay (and other Pokémon on the walls)!

    Brown sugar milk with boba
    Della S.

    Ordered brown sugar bubble milk tea through Uber eats and I think they accidentally gave me brown sugar milk instead... If there was any tea in my drink then it was very subtle. The boba portion was huge and although the pearls were a bit stuck together by the time I got my order, they were easy to separate with a good shake. The pearls were cooked very nicely- super chewy but not overcooked to the point of being mushy. I tried my drink with 50% sugar. I noticed that the sweetness in "brown sugar" series drinks is always tricky to navigate because you don't want to sacrifice the yummy brown sugar syrup even if you want a drink that's less sweet! For my taste I would probably opt for 25% sugar next time (I tend to order 25-50% sweetness at bubble tea shops). They have a lot of smoothie options here and the prices are reasonable. Anyone who loves chewy pearls should keep this place on their radar!

    If you're looking for a cute place to just sit and chill with your friends, this place is good for that! The space itself is small but cozy with games like Uno provided if you wanted to play. The drink itself that we got was decent nothing too special, but definitely there were other options that looked pretty good to try! I would definitely come back here to try the other menu options. The staff are also very fast at making the drinks and were friendly!

    The worst tea..baar none

    Coming to so many Boba shops is traumatizing. It's almost too much TBear. This is a really friendly TBaar with nice employees which is why it pains me to say that it's just as bad as every other TBaar I've been to. I actually drank more of this milk tea than I probably have any other TBaar drink I've ever had and I've had plenty, but the consistent thing that I keep noticing is that it just doesn't do it for me. I kind of wanted a fruit drink anyway but they don't make any of them with black tea - not any of the ones I was interested in anyway and they wouldn't go off menu for me - so I just got a milk tea and it was the floral kind that I can't stand and I'll try again, some other time some other place.

    Oh my gosh! Teabaar is absolutely the best Boba I have ever had. So glad I found this place while looking for Boba spots on Yelp. I am in love with their dragon fruit tea! The nice big chunks of fresh fruit are so yummy with their delicious, fragrant tea and soft, chewy Boba. We tried the takoyaki while we were here as well. It was pretty good, but we found the squid to be tough, which was a little disappointing, but the tea makes up for it! We would love to try the crepe cakes they had advertised in the future! The staff here is super friendly as well, and they are following all covid guidelines, which made us feel very safe.

    Mango Green Tea Bubble Tea
    Roxy P.

    Both the taro and mango green tea bubble tea were fantastic! What I love about this place is that when I order bubble tea with no sugar, the drink is not sweet! In so many bubble tea places, the tea base itself is sweet so when you ask for no sugar, the drink still ends up being sweet because of the base, but not here. I also love their variety of fruit tea flavors.

    This place is amazing! Glad we ordered before five different parties came in to order. I ordered the dragon fruit tea with mixed fruit jellies and it is so worth it because it has fresh pieces of dragon fruit and mixed berries as well. This venue is following COVID regs and asking people to wait outside if it's at max capacity.

    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

    Grapefruit and Yogurt
    Phebe H.

    Tbaar is always a dependable option when you're looking for a solid bubble tea! Taste/Quality: I got the grapefruit & yogurt drink with boba which was surprisingly tasty and had real slices of grapefruit in it! Plenty of fresh boba and it was a good mix of fruity & creamy flavors. Variety: huge selection of milk teas, fruit teas, cheese foam drinks, and smoothies. It's a huge menu. Vibe: the shop is kind of located half underground; it's a little dark, small store next to a florist shop. Staff was not super friendly and I couldn't connect to their WiFi. Only a few tables inside and 2 small tables outside as well. I don't think I would come here to study or work. Price: Decently average, about $5.30 for a medium sized drink with a very secure lid.

    hot taro boba (all hot bobas come in 1 size)
    Christine B.

    Glad to finally try one of the few bubble tea places in the brookline area! However, gotta say that I was a bit underwhelmed. I ordered a taro hot bubble tea and found it be be pretty average. Not bad, but not amazing either. In addition to the bubble tea being average, the seating here is sooo limited...which makes me less inclined to come here. There are only two tables that can seat 4 people and two very tiny high tables that seat 2 people each. & the overall space is very cramped and small. Not to say they didn't try because the place is cutely decorated and they have tons of board games that you can play with. However, with such limited seating, this isn't quite the ideal hang out or study spot. I would be inclined to come back if I find myself in the area and need bubble tea on the go--but would also not go out of my way to come here!

    See all

    Wings are amazing and Moon Flower is one of my favorite places to go when I'm craving fried…read morechicken. Popcorn chicken used to come as a giant heap but is now a much lesser portion. 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.

    Rating this spot what I'm rating because the fried chicken dishes were the main things I'd order…read moreagain, compared to everything else. 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.
