With Boston’s boba infatuation, there’s no shortage of bubble tea shops in every neighborhood. But if you’re like us and prefer the finer things in life, this guide shares where to find the best bubble tea. From an organic Beacon Street shop to a refreshing boba soft serve, these are the best bubble tea stores in Boston.
Shinmio, Brookline
The elevated bubble tea shop focuses on freshness and quality. The boba is soaked in honey for a delicious flavor and golden color. You can slurp on a fresh strawberry milk tea or get one of the slushies made with jasmine and fresh grapes! Shinmio only uses organic whole milk in all of their drinks, with dairy-free alternatives as well.

Jaho Coffee & Roasters
This spot serves bubble tea and coffee as the name suggests. For a bubble tea twist, try the vanilla soft serve with brown sugar boba. Jaho is also known for its fun pink branding and latte art!

Gong Cha
A Taiwanese chain that started in 2006, this boba shop has literally been perfecting its craft for decades. The extensive menu ensures you can mix things up often. We highly recommend adding the “cheese foam” to your drink for an extra special treat.

Möge Tee
Known for its cat ear cups, the tea is as delicious as it is cute. You can find them in the bubble tea haven of Allston or stop by the quieter shops in Cambridge and Quincy.

OneZo
Most spots use prepackaged boba, but OneZo is the only one making boba from scratch!
This means that not only can you get creative with your tea and toppings at OneZo, but you can even try uniquely flavored boba with flavors like black sesame, cactus and taro, all made by hand from scratch in house! The shop also offers quirky desserts like a milk pudding “crazy egg” or creamy mango pomelo sago.
