I go here pretty much every weekend :) it's one of my favorite places in Boston that I actually want to bring/brag about to my friends to, especially when Boston isn't much of a food city in the first place. Great bubbletea, fruit teas made with fresh fruit, Espresso lattes, and yummy desserts ranging from house made egg waffle sundaes /egg wafflegato, house made matcha tiramisu, macarons, and crepe cake slices imported from Hokkaido Japan :)
Imo, I haven't had any bad experience at all ever since coming here almost every weekend since they opened earlier this summer, and if you had bad luck on your drinks and stuff, staff is nice and will fix it for you if you bring it up!
You can also sub in the milk with options like almond milk, as well adjust sugar level of all your drinks at 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100 percent sugar level.
On top of this, the vibe of this place is really chill, bright with good natural lighting, and a great place to study because of free wifi and every table pretty much having about 8 outlets within reach for your laptop power adapters/chargers. LimeRed is also super clean, including the bathroom--which I can say is one of the cleanest I've seen compared to all the restaurants I've been to on that street/area.
Recommendations: Espresso Coconut Latte, Matcha Strawberry Latte, Strawberry Bliss smoothie, Strawberry Fresh Fruit Tea, Grapefruit Fresh Fruit Tea (ask for more lemon juice and grapefruit juice when they make it so it doesn't become too diluted), Thai Iced Tea (they use real thai tea leaves!) Egg waffle sundae or egg wafflegato are both amazing (I usually top it off with chocolate drizzle and mochi 🍡) Matcha Tiramisu is great too and comes with the cute little jars + cork, which you also get to keep! Crepe cake slices are pretty good too! I personally like them because it's not over...
Read moreIt feels fitting to FINALLY write a review for LimeRed Teahouse on National Boba Day ahhhh! In short, this is the best boba in Boston. (Their other locations out in Northampton and Amherst are wonderful too—the quality is consistent, even though some menu items differ. Try visiting them all!) They set the bar for the competition. They only use real, natural ingredients, so you can actually pick which type of milk you want and choose the level of sweetness for your drink. 25% sweet is my go-to!
The Boston space comfortable, clean, and zen. It’s equally as good a space for afternoon breaks with friends or powering through a study session. The staff are really great too at letting you make modifications to drinks too. My signature move is adding cold brew to milk tea and creating a coffee milk tea! It’s fantastic—especially if you need the extra caffeine boost! I only wish it was permanently listed on the menu, but I can make...
Read moreOn the first visit, I had the Rose Jasmine tea. It was the best cup of tea I've ever had. It hit perfectly on a rainy day and my only suggestion for improvement on that day would have been a better choice of music. Revisited:I got the same drink on my second visit and it didn't hit quite the same. It was lukewarm and had an off (kind of burnt) taste, like drinking dish soap. The atmosphere is still great. The one-woman show is quite busy preparing to-go orders, all of them cold drinks with vibrant colorways; I commend her for that. I don't think I'll be back around the way for some time but if I do find myself in Packard's corner soon, I'd love to try one of those colder drinks that she's selling like hotcakes so that I can update my review. The jury...
