I go to this milk tea shop in Boston three times a week

🧋 Teaholic: Cambridge’s New Boba Sensation—Worth Three Visits in One Week Boston’s bubble tea scene is finally heating up: Newbury Street’s getting a new spot, Zero raised the bar for mango pomelo sago, and now? Cambridge’s Teaholic— a brand I’d never heard of—has me hooked. I went in with low expectations, but left so impressed, I returned three times in a week to try every signature drink. 🌟 The Standouts Avocado Mango (Nectar): 🥑 My boba queen’s obsession—she ordered it three times in a row. It’s shockingly refreshing for an avocado drink, light enough to sip as a post-workout snack or dessert. Pro tip: Get it with 0% sugar (the fruit/jam at the bottom is sweet enough) and ask the barista to mix it thoroughly—otherwise, the layers stay stubbornly separate. Black Sugar Brulee Milk Tea: 🍮 I usually avoid brulee drinks (too much artificial “custard” flavor), but this one’s a game-changer. The brulee is light, with a thin caramel top and no cloying aftertaste. The tea-milk balance is perfect—smooth, not bitter or greasy. It’s better than Machi Machi, in my book. Only flaw: The pearls are underwhelming (too firm, not chewy). Matcha Mochi Milk: 🍵 The mochi here is unique—chewy, rice-forward, and thick (almost too thick to sip through a straw). My boba-obsessed friend loved it; I found it a bit heavy. The matcha, though? Excellent—0 sugar, no bitterness, with a subtle earthiness. Swap the popping boba for pearls (if you like them) to level it up. 😐 The “Meh” Taro Boba: 🍠 Real taro chunks add nice texture, but there’s a strong ube (purple yam) powder/extract aftertaste. Fans of ube ice cream will enjoy it, but I prefer pure taro flavor—skip if you’re sensitive to “artificial” notes. 🍰 Bonus: Tiramisu Not bad—crunchy ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, and a balanced ratio of cake to cream. It’s less sweet than most, but lacks that bold coffee kick. Think “old-school Whole Foods tiramisu”—cozy, but not memorable. ✨ Why It’s a Winner Quality Ingredients: No artificial syrups overload; fruit-based drinks taste fresh, and tea is brewed well. Customization: 0% sugar options actually work (no weird bitterness), and baristas accommodate requests (like mixing the avocado drink). Budget Score: 4/5. Reasonable for the quality—worth splurging on the avocado or brulee drinks. Teaholic is Cambridge’s new boba gem. Whether you’re a matcha fan, fruit tea lover, or brulee convert, there’s something here to make you a regular. 📍 Teaholic Bubble Tea & Coffee 205 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 #BostonBoba #CambridgeEats #BubbleTeaLovers
