One of the many food and drink options located in Hub Hall near the TD Garden. Which before the…read moreconcert we attended you could tell everyone had the same idea to pop in and grab a bite or a drink. We had already eaten but wanted to grab a drink and couldn't pass up trying a bubble tea spot. So as you'd expect this review is solely for just drinks. Service wise we ordered from the little kiosk which worked well and allowed for plenty of customizing of your drink. That was a positive but also could be a quick way to make your price sky high with most additions being an extra dollar. They give you an order number that will be called when your order is ready. As we were waiting a worker did ask if we were waiting and for our order number and then they seemed to put a rush on making it and they apologized for the wait. Which honestly I did not think we had a long wait but appreciated the staff still. Overall the space for waiting is limited but won't hold that in a negative light since it's a food hall. I grabbed a Mango Fruit Tea with mango popping boba added while my wife got their toasted brown sugar milk tea. Both were pretty good but neither blew us away. My wife did not like the syrup in her brown sugar milk tea, had an odd flavor to it. Maybe we should have picked different drinks that would have impressed more. I would return to give some of their food a try in the future and more drinks though. Friendly staff with decent drinks and located in a very convenient location if you are visiting TD Garden.

I spent $21 on their original dog, half cheese & half sausage with ketchup; as well as a large bubble tea. The sausage was my least favorite but with the cheese, it was pretty good. The bubble tea lacked a lot. There wasn't a very good selection. I also asked for no boba pearls, and of course, it had boba pearls. Hub Hall is packed but the wait time was atrocious. It took over 20 minutes to receive my two items. Honestly, I think Currentea is a cute little place not suitable for its location. It seems too small for many staff members and they're very overworked. I appreciate the hustle of the staff but it gets to a point it's unacceptable.

I'm genuinely confused why they didn't do our 3 orders first. Within the 20 mins, the other 10 customers came in and they still did online orders instead of the people in store.

The menu is extensive with a variety of options for every pallet, and the pricing is reasonable for Boston. I love that they have unique kinds of Boba, including butterfly pea Boba and dragon fruit Boba made in house. The barista was kind enough to let us sample some of the dragon fruit Boba, which was so fragrant and chewy. I ended up getting the roasted oolong milk tea with 50% sweetness. It was a perfect balance of milk, tea, and sweetness. I will definitely be back to try other menu options!

So plan accordingly and give yourself plenty of time.

Teazzi was a boba chain I was unfamiliar with, as it has very few locations on the West Coast. I…read morewas very excited to try it, and I thoroughly enjoyed my drink. The inside of the shop is nice and bright, but there wasn't really any long-term seating. This place is definitely more of a grab-and-go type of establishment. There's also a mini store to the right of the entrance, selling a bunch of cute trinkets and collectibles, that you can browse through while you wait for your drinks. House Special Milk Tea (4/5) - I got this with 70% sugar, and I thought that was a decent "not too sweet" level. I'd prefer even less sugar next time. This drink contains oats, and lots of them. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the oats because they added a unique texture. I also got tapioca with this drink, and I must say the boba is soft but strangely more brittle than chewy. TLDR// Teazzi is a solid boba shop I would return to.

Happy Lemon is one of the longer-running bubble tea spots in Downtown Boston, tucked inside the…read moreCorner Mall near Chinatown. We walked into a location that is easy to miss if you are not already familiar with the building, but once inside it functions as a convenient stop when exploring the neighborhood or looking for a quick drink break. The setup is fairly simple, with counter service and access to the shared seating throughout the mall, which gives it a bit more room to sit than a typical standalone shop. The menu is extensive and covers everything from traditional milk teas and fruit teas to some of Happy Lemon's signature cheese foam drinks. The salted cheese series remains one of the more distinctive offerings and is what helped separate the brand from many other bubble tea chains when it first expanded. The combination of sweet tea and lightly salty cheese foam sounds unusual at first, but it creates a balance that works surprisingly well. We ordered the black tea with salted cheese, and the creaminess of the foam against the bold tea base made it easy to see why this drink has built such a following over the years. Beyond the cheese series, there are plenty of options for different preferences. The taro milk tea is a popular choice, while the grapefruit green tea offers something lighter and more refreshing. We appreciated the ability to customize sweetness levels, which is worth taking advantage of since some drinks can lean sweeter than expected at the default setting. The waffle snacks are another menu item that stands out, particularly for anyone looking for something small to pair with their drink rather than ordering tea alone. They come out warm and crisp, making them a nice complement to the cold drinks. Service tends to move quickly, which is important given the steady flow of students, office workers, and shoppers passing through the area. The staff were efficient, and our order was prepared without much of a wait. Being located inside a busy downtown shopping center also makes it a convenient grab-and-go option, though the shared seating in the mall allows for a brief pause if you want to sit and enjoy your drink before heading back out. Happy Lemon remains a reliable stop for the salted cheese series and a broad menu of tea options. It is not a destination in itself, but for a quick drink while exploring Chinatown or the surrounding area, it delivers on consistency and variety without overcomplicating the experience.
