I needed dessert after eating down the street at rhe Japanese place. My daughter loves bubble tea, it was empty so we stopped in. I got the mango yogurt w/bubble..it hit the spot. The young man who's behind the counter has got the place super clean & can run it with his eyes closed. In a matter of minutes it went from just us 2 to a out 10 or 11 people. They also have a touch screen to place orders for more efficiency & less waiting. Nice spot while we walked around
Really great flavor tea. I would recommend. The flavors were one of the best I've had and the boba texture was perfect
I was blown away by how disappointing this drink was. We got the oreo taro milk drink (?). It looked pretty, but the taste was so so subpar. It was as if I poured myself a glass of milk and added chunks of oreo and taro in it that somehow had no flavor. There was no cohesiveness. I honestly think this may have been made incorrectly because there is no way anyone in good conscience could sell this drink for $10+. Since coming I've heard other drinks here are good though - just avoid the oreo taro I guess.
Came here on a Saturday evening for an after dinner treat and the place was pretty much empty. The space itself was super cute, well-lit, and had a few seats to enjoy drinks. Their menu was pretty long and had a good variety of drinks as well as some dessert so it took a bit to order, but they do have a tablet ordering area so you could browse at your leisure. We each got a drink and decided to share their mochi, all of which came out relatively quickly. The drink I chose didn't come with bubbles, something that wasn't clear when I ordered. A majority of the other milk teas came with tapioca so I was surprised when this one didn't, but that was probably a bit on me for not reading the ingredients clearly. It was a little disappointing, but the drink itself was relatively tasty and the tea was really fresh tasting. The mochi was not what I was expecting - definitely breadier than the mochi I'm used to. I found it a little too bland for my tastes, but it was subtly sweet and not bad for its price. We stayed for an hour and the place remained pretty quiet. The person working behind the counter also was willing to get us water when we needed it too which was nice. Overall, I enjoyed coming here and wouldn't mind coming by for bubble tea again in the future. Next time, I'll read the ingredients though!
I'm not often in this part of Brookline these days, but I'm so glad I discovered this new boba place while in the neighborhood. The Tall Man and I stopped by this ~6 month old shop right after it opened at noon to pick up some road trip refreshments. If we had had the time, we would've stopped to sit in this bright and inviting cafe, which has a couple tables and window counter seats. Being dairy free, I usually get a non-milk drink. But when I asked if they had vegan options (their usual milk is lactose-free, like most boba shops), they helpfully mentioned that they use coconut milk in one of their fruit drinks and could use it to make a vegan milk tea. Of COURSE I said yes! I got the ever spring green milk tea (an earthier cousin to jasmine tea) with brown sugar bubbles, half sugar, and less ice. The Tall Man got a signature black milk tea with regular milk, 75% sugar, and less ice. The drinks were made in good time, and we were soon out the door. The swirly appearance of the drinks was a little odd at first (looked like the syrupy sweetener had been swirled into the drink instead of shaken through like usual?), but with some mixing, we were happy customers. The boba had a really nice chewy-soft-yet-not-mushy texture, and tasty caramelized flavor. It was sweetened but didn't overwhelm our drinks. I also really enjoyed the taste of my earthier green tea and plan to order it again. (It might be similar or even the same as four seasons oolong at other shops, but I haven't looked too far into this.) Bookmarking The Shared Tea for another visit!
This seems to be a pretty decent bubble tea spot. I tried the peach yogurt with crystal bubble ($6.75). It was made from real yogurt rather than yakult and the peach part seemed to come from blended frozen white peaches. While different from what I was originally expecting, it tasted pretty good for what it was. There was a decent portion of crystal bubbles. My only complaint is that the drink was really hard to mix. I also got to try their soft french bread. Like advertised, the bread itself is not excessively sweetened. However, it just wasn't for me. I felt that the bread was straddling a medium between Western-style unsweetened bread and Asian-style soft sweet bread and my brain just couldn't figure out what I was eating. It was also kind of dry, but probably due to me trying it after 8pm close to their closing time.
Cute boba tea shop in Brookline. You can order at the kiosk or with the cashier. I ordered the mango sago drink which was refreshing but bordered on the sweet side for me. Drink came out fast and it was just one person working so I appreciate the diligence
I loved this new boba place in Brookline! It's very close to the Brookline Village T stop and 66 bus stop, so super convenient. Let me just say the decor at The Shared Tea is so cute! The seating area was clean and the staff were super friendly. They finished my order within 3 minutes and the drink was pretty good! I ordered the medium brown sugar bubble milk tea with pearls, less ice and 30% sugar. It was $6.67, so just about average pricing compared to other boba places. The boba at The Shared Tea is very soft and chewy, I loved it! The milk tea wasn't so sweet, but overall, the drink was good. Overall rating: 9/10
This has got to be the best matcha latte I've ever had. The ratio of milk to matcha is perfect and 50% sweetness makes for the perfect drink. It is a small boba shop with cute seating inside. It definitely is marketed toward a younger audience. A casual place to grab a drink and chat with friends. The staff are all helpful and friendly. They happily fixed my drink one time it was made wrong due to hearing my order wrong. I always recommend this boba shop to my friends when they ask for a good place to go.
Stumbled upon this newer boba tea spot in Brookline Village. Got a cold medium roasted oolong milk tea with 30% sugar and less ice. I was slightly confused at first because it looked a lot like a brown sugar milk tea but the tea and boba tasted pretty good. The boba itself is a bit on the softer and sweeter side which I prefer. Some other places have a bit of a tougher and less sweet boba but this one was nice. Clean and nice atmosphere inside. Hoping they can keep it clean as time goes by.

This has been my favorite boba in Boston for the past five years for the low sugar and decaf options, golden boba and fresh fruit. Today they went above and beyond when I accidentally dropped my phone in the trash (!) The employee went to get gloves and fished it out of the bin for me. Then I used a wipe to sanitize it lol. Thank you!! read more
So glad to find this bubble tea place! The interior is actually pretty spacious with lots of natural light. You can place the order on the kiosk or at the counter. I couldn't tell the caffeine free options, but the staff was able to accommodate caffeine free options. The drink was very good. It does take time to make the drinks. There are some tables and chairs if you want to hang out here. Limited street parking out front. There are metered parking on the side street next to the green line. read more
Very cute shop in Brookline with a modern interior. The strawberry smoothie tastes really good - fresh and sweet, perfect for the summer. I've never heard of Ever Spring Green Tea before, so I opted for that instead of my usual jasmine or oolong milk tea. First impression, tastes interestingly like a watered down coffee creamer? But you can also taste the essence of tea. It's smooth in flavor and subtle in sweetness. I like the flavor of the golden boba (honey boba), although the texture of this particular batch is semi hard in its core. If it was cooked better, I definitely would love it more. I would come back to try more drinks! read more

I'm delighted (yet doomed) this new boba place opened up directly beside the Brookline Village D line stop. It's super accessible by the green line or 66 bus. I really wanted The Shared Tea to be terrible because it's so accessible, I will have a hard time resisting coming here every day as I walk to and from work. Unfortunately for my wallet, the teas I have had so far here are delicious and I'll probably come here almost every day, no exaggerating. The brown sugar bubbles were really soft and chewy (not hard and fake like some other places make) and the cake cream milk tea was so good too. R.I.P. my wallet, the staff is going to get sick of me, because I'm definitely coming every day. read more

Dear God! The tea, the smoothie, the boba, everything is excellent, high quality and delicious. We had the lychee iced tea with passion fruit popping boba and Crystal boba, and the mango smoothie with Crystal boba. So delicious, not too sweet, and perfectly delicious. We will definitely return to try different flavors! read more

Small cute store on the inside and love the flowers. I ordered a Jasmine green milk tea and I loved it. When I asked the cashier about recommendations they were really nice and even offered tiny samples of stuff I wasn't sure about. read more

The shared tea has amazing matcha tea! I got it with cake cream and it was the best matcha I've had. Shoutout to their extremely sweet staff for the recommendation! They even checked to make sure I liked my drink before I left. Definitely coming back! read more
