Thank you to Yelp and my sister for telling me about this wonderful spot. They said this is one of the better boba spots in the city. Great drinks and friendly staff! The #5 Black Sugar Boba with flan was amazing! I'll definitely be coming back for that strawberry mochi that was sold out unfortunately but like I said, I'll be back lol. There was also a weekend promotion when we went, buy 2 get one free which is good. read more

I came here so many times to pick up boba and I never realized I didn't write a review yet. Every single time I come here I always leave 110% satisfied. The drinks are consistent and super delicious. I usually get the strawberry mochi milk tea and it is so rich and creamy and has lots of toppings, its like a dessert in a cup. Customer service is friendly and fast. They get you in and out quickly. They do not have seating or table at all. It is a grab and go. Overall, this place has one of the best and creative drinks yet. read more

Been to other Tiger Sugar locations in NY and TX and I always enjoy their drinks so I stopped in to this location in Chinatown. I can confirm the fruit teas that I get taste consistent throughout all the locations I've visited. As a lot of the other reviews say, their drinks aren't too sweet, which I really appreciate! Will continue to stop in to Tiger Sugar if I see one whilst traveling. read more

Famous for a reason!!! This is definitely the best boba in Boston. Period hands down. The tapioca balls are small, always the right texture, and covered in brown sugar. All of the drinks are great you really can't go wrong read more

This is terrible, more milk than anything, their quality has gone down, this is the 3rd time this happened to me! And it wasn't even busy, no customers, the guy was just sitting there on his phone! I'm never ordering from them again! Terrible, #embarrassing! read more

Got their signature drink. It's ok. The first few sips were good as I can taste the black sugar flavor. After that it's just very plain milk tea. Nothing special. Also, the drink is cold and the boba is warm. Kind of weird. The boba is soft. Not sure why it was popular. But I may try the mochi one next time. read more

3.5/5 for their tiger mochi boba drink! Honestly really enjoyed the mochi bits with the boba and I thought that the less sugar less ice combo was a great level of sweetness, but the milk tea had a grainy texture. :( read more

Food: The seasonal "Taro Milk Pudding Boba" was SO. GOOD. I am by no means a boba drinker, and this was my first time trying Tiger Sugar, but I do LOVE a good taro milk/taro pudding once in a blue moon when my dangerous sweet tooth kicks in. They only offered large size, and I didn't even complain lol because I finished it all. Such a good lunch (lol). Service: It's a boba shop so they were fast at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon. Ambiance: It's in a small hidden basement Chinatown location so not a lot of waiting space in the store, but it's a grab and go type of place so I'm not complaining. There's also a way you can order directly there on the screen thing. 11/10, would come back when the sweet tooth taro milk/pudding kicks in again. Yum. read more

I originally went to the one in LA during COVID. they pre-made all their drinks. Needless to say, it wasn't great. I was a little hesitant to try it again but went to the Chinatown location after dinner and was very happy. Finally found my go to brown sugar boba. Boba this time was chewy. I would say not as chewy and soft and yifang but the overall drink was a perfect balance of sweet. Note, there's no bathrooms available. read more

I was worried that my order (#4 tiger meets coffee) was not customizable. But it's not too sweet! Which is the ultimate compliment from an Asian person iykyk. I can taste the coffee, the chocolate, and the boba has a nice brown sugar flavor. Only gripe is the boba's texture is inconsistent- some are perfectly chewy while some were too soggy or hard (this is in the same drink). Still, I would come back to try the different flavors. read more

The drink itself was fine today, but the worker shorted my change and I had to ask him to give me the correct amount. When I asked, he gave it to me without checking which makes me think he knew. He also threw it on the counter instead of handing it to me, and then attempted to short me AGAIN a second time. that was crazy. He still didn't give me the correct amount but I gave up and left. read more

I always think of this spot whenever I crave sugar. The prices aren't that cheap (signature drink is $5.60 plus tax and other drinks cost more) and you cannot change sugar or ice levels. However, I still find myself coming back. The brown sugar syrup here adds so much flavor and no other boba spot is able to achieve the same smoky sweetness. The inside of the shop is quite small since there is just one counter and a little bit of standing room. It can get super crowded on weekend or Friday evenings. Although their menu is not that big, the drinks take some time to prepare so you should expect to wait at least a few minutes for your drinks depending on the crowd. $10 minimum for credit card. Compared to other boba places with a similar price range, I think Tiger Sugar is definitely worth their price. Especially for those who love tapioca pearls, you can guarantee that this spot will always cook their pearls perfectly. read more

Given tiger Sugar a try twice but it's just not my preference so I bumped it up to 3 stars due to personal taste. It's honestly quite expensive for boba and I don't like the brown sugar options are not customizable. I feel like the taste is overwhelming and for someone that doesn't like chocolate or coffee much, it kinda taste like it. It taste really heavy and not like other milk tea which are more refreshing. read more

The newest Tiger Sugar in Boston! I absolutely love their brown sugar milk tea; it's a classic! This location is small but easy to find with the large menu outside. They had fun specials over the summer. My favorite was the Mango Pomelo Sago. It was super refreshing. The Taro Pudding Black Sugar Boba was also good, but I couldn't customize the milk to anything but whole milk. I rather it be a non dairy milk. When I went, they also offered their popcorn and ice cream bars. I wish I could buy the ice cream bars in bulk, they art so good! Overall, I will definitely be returning! read more

Ordered a drink for $9 and it was such a waste because it was made poorly and just watered down I literally had to throw the whole drink away. A round asian man was the only one working and all he did was grunt at me, didn't even really acknowledge me honestly... read more

The drinks are awesome but the staff is not very nice. Hr was mad that I walked in at 11am. Well you are opened are 11am. I still have him a tip because I was a waitress and I understand. Hopefully he had a better day. read more

Place always running out of something anytime of day. Sometime it's medium cups, other times they are out of boba. This last time I was there they only had paper cups which is used for hot drinks. Looked very suspicious not seeing what your drinking through your cup or open lid. They definitely lost my business and will be going next door to TeaDo from now on. read more

I've had this in both NYC and Boston's chinatowns and it's a great refreshing treat. My favorite thing which I think they do better than other spots is the boba itself, it's perfectly chewy not hard or mushy which can happen sometimes. I like the classic brown sugar milk tea read more

I'd been wanting to try the iconic brown sugar boba from Tiger Sugar for a long time and finally had the perfect chance to go after grabbing dinner in Boston's Chinatown. The store itself is really tiny and basically a hole in the wall. There's a menu outside in case the store is crowded, though it was really empty both times I stopped by. Service here is quick and you can see the drinks being freshly made while you wait. I've only tried their signature drink, so that's what my review is mainly based on, but the boba is so soft and chewy! It's really cooked to the perfect degree. There are both big and small pearls which I found to be a bit different from most stores that just serve large pearls. The unique flavor of brown sugar really stands out as you sip your drink. As with brown sugar boba from many other stores, this one is just as sweet and you can't customize the drink, so people who don't have as much of a sweet tooth might not like this option as much. There are still many other options such as more fruity drinks. Those are definitely something I'd like to try in the future. Also keep in mind that there is a credit card limit, so if you're only ordering one drink, probably be prepared to bring some cash. Ordering two drinks should be enough to pay with card. read more

The customer service was awful and I was given the wrong drink. This place used to be better.

In the mood for something sweet on a hot summer day? Their brown sugar milk definitely hits the spot. If you don't want just milk, make sure you ask for milk TEA - otherwise, you could be disappointed if you were expecting tea in it. read more

It's conveniently located across both of the restaurants I tried in Chinatown! I got their classic brown sugar milk tea without the milk foam and it tasted just as expected. It was around $6 after tax. They have a deal that if you buy 3 drinks you get an additional free drink or snack. There is also a credit card minimum (which is hit if you get two drinks I think). read more

I've been here multiple times and have never gotten a bad drink. Their brown sugar drinks are the best in the industry IMO. I got the #6 (with mochi and soy powder) and the different consistencies made it interesting. Can't go wrong here! read more

I went there at about 5pm and it was somewhat crowded. The ordering didn't take time because there was a machine and workers taking orders at the same time. My drink was done in less than 10 minutes. The place is kind of small and there's no sitting available. The drink cost about $7. It was sweet but not too sweet. The pearls were chewy and they had different sizes. read more

Really bad experience！I don't know what your standards are for training your employees.The Order taker is very impolite，I don't understand what you're thinking.Plz give customers basic respect. Furthermore，the drinks are terrible. I'm telling the truth.I will never come again. read more

I ordered a Lemon Oolong Tea and it tastes like straight up vomit, i almost threw up. My family agrees. They also had their own negative experiences about their drinks. For example, the taro milk tea just tastes like milk with chunks. The Peach Oolong tea apparently tastes like barf and medicine. But the mango sago was good, it was just 50% ice. The original tiger milk teas or the brown sugar ones were okay. However we wouldnt come back ever. read more

Cannot modify sugar nor ice levels but the drinks aren't overly sugary. The coffee infused flavors are a hit! read more

Number 5 is my FAV!!! Really the best of both worlds with the chewy boba AND the creamy custard. It's not like the typical egg pudding you get from other boba shops, this pudding is super creamy and tastes like a flan. I always recommend it to my friends whenever they get the Number 1 to try something new! I find it super different so it's my go-to whenever I'm feeling Tiger Sugar! read more

Tiger Sugar - Number 5. With Pudding and Boba & Number 1! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I dropped by a few times since I was craving sugar during the times that I dropped by. If you aren't sure what to get, you can't go wrong with the signature drink. If you feel more adventurous, their chocolate malt milk drink, coffee latte drink, and pudding milk drink are also solid choices as well. The drinks are quite pricey but they are worth at least a try (you will probably get drawn into the hype after you try it). The minimum amount necessary to use credit card is $10 so you may want to bring cash (or a friend so you can cover their boba). There's not too much space to stand around and anybody who is tall may bump their head near the area near the fridge but it's definitely more spacious than the Allston location. If you have a sweet tooth (or cheat day), drop by Tiger Sugar! IG: Feastcoastoffense read more

Ordered the brown sugar milk tea with pudding while my friend ordered the latte with boba. We both loved our choices but was a little rushed by the workers who were hoping we'd pick our orders right away. However, considering three parties came in after us I understood their impatience. Boba texture was on point with the almost flan-like pudding. The latte tasted strong and similar to Vietnamese iced coffee. Overall, happy with my experience and looking forward to trying more items from their menu like the taro and mango shakes. read more

I love this bubble tea shop. Seriously so good. I like that they use fresh milk for their teas which adds a nice fresh touch to flavor. Their tapioca is always so so so soft and has flavor in itself - which I feel like is hard to come by because so many other boba stores have super chewy boba as opposed to the soft boba. I always get their signature #1 every time I go. Also, this location specifically allows for student discount if you show your ID so it's a really sweet deal. read more

I've only tried two Tiger Sugar drinks so far but their Tiger Meets Coffee one is something that'll keep me coming back. It's my go-to drink! If you're a coffee lover, this is the one. It's a delicious combination of their brown sugar boba milk, tapioca pearls, espresso, and cream mousse. The espresso taste is prominent and the overall drink isn't too sweet. Tiger Sugar's boba is a bit squishier than what I'm used to, but still delish. I usually get a large, which is more than enough to sip on. Tiger Sugar is situated in a snug space, so the lines can definitely get long because of it, but the service is always quick. read more

The place was busy. Staff made sure everything went smooth. I got the original brown sugar boba, pudding, and chocolate malt ones. They were all delicious. It's pricy but worth it. Also got the popcorn and ice cream for free. Definitely will be back read more

I've heard that they opened a new location in Boston but it wasn't a planned visit when I came here today. We were having lunch after my sons appointment and luckily parked close to this store. It looks like it wasn't busy so I went in and treated myself with some drinks. It's my first time in here and I was not really sure what to expect. I tried a couple of drinks since the minimum for a card is $10. I got the brown sugar milk with pudding and the brown sugar with chocolate malt with cream mousse. At first, I didn't feel like there's nothing really special about the drink but the more I drink it I can taste the difference when you have the pudding with the milk together. The sweetness is also just a perfect blend, it's not too sweet or bland. The chocolate malt drink I got was also pretty good with the right amount of sweetness to my liking. Like I said minimum is $10 for the card transaction. Would probably go back when I'm in the area again. I would definitely recommend it to my friends if they happen to be in Boston. read more

Excellent boba and tea shop. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Great selection for premium boba drinks. IYKYK I do think this location could get busy, so expect accordingly when popping in for a drink. So glad to have more locations! read more

Tiger sugar has been on my boba shop bucket list for a long time, so I had to try it when I passed by one in Chinatown. The drinks are not adjustable for ice or sugar, which I found irritating, but the quality of the drink is outstanding!! In terms of taste, Tiger Sugar is definitely worth the hype. Tiger sugar has a very small drink variety, but they do it so well! The brown sugar flavor is very potent and distinct, and the drink didn't taste too sweet. For some reason I got both small, medium, and normal sized boba in my stibk, but they were all perfectly chewy and deeply flavorful, so I wasn't too mad about it. Customer service was pretty standard, nothing special. Make sure you keep your receipt after purchase, because they'll check it before giving you the drink! (I made the mistake of thrown by mine away.) read more

I went to get few drinks with my boss and few coworkers this afternoon. As we walked in, the one worker working there greeted us rudely screaming at us because he can't hear us with his phone still on high volume. I understand when it's slow, he was on his phone but when customers come in, he should get off and close his phone. He kept messing up our order because he can't hear us. I was trying to make it easy by gathering all eight of my coworkers order, but I felt like I was being rushed. He was saying, "what else do you want?" so many times as he could see me gathering everyone's drink orders. I was going to walk out if I didn't have coworkers with me. As he was making our drinks, three girls came in and they were being treated rudely as well, screaming at them, "next". My boss was going to leave him 15% tips but I told her not to bothered because he doesn't deserve anything. We will never go back especially when there's so much boba location around the area. The drinks were good, don't get me wrong but we don't want to be treated with rude staff. If I get to rate 0 star, I would. I see two other reviews about the same staff, I'm pretty sure who just wants to be on his phone, treating the customers rudely. I honestly thinks he should be fired! read more
