Infusions Tea Spa

Some boba tea shops prepare their boba ‘well-​cooked’ (sticky and very soft), while others prepare their boba ‘under-​cooked’ (hard and chewy). Although preferences may vary from customer to customer, the boba critic’s standard is normally somewhere right in between. The Italians call it ‘al dente’ for pasta
It’s rare to find a place that does them just right. Infusions Tea is one of them. The first thing you notice is that their tapioca pearls are soft on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Cooked just well enough to soften the outer shell and remove the starchyness of the core, and yet not too long.
The milk teas are all made with quality ingredients, not with powdered milk and flavors.
Overall this boba experience is way above average in the area.

Got my order of regular bubble milk tea after 20 mins. And I have been more disappointed with bubble tea. Hard boba. Milk tea too watery.

Tried the Green Milk Tea with boba, half sugar. It was very bland, a barely there tea flavor, and even less «milky» taste, plus the boba is very tough. I just think its milk tea is based on the amount of sugar put in, not the other ingredients. Maybe next time I should try the original version instead of a «healthier» one.

High quality bubble/​boba/​pearl/​tapioca/​whatever-​you wanna-​call-​it tea. The prices are definitely inflated like crazy (extra .50 cents for the tapioca, extra .60 if you want a large). I got a large black sesame milk tea with the tapioca and it came to $ 5.79, which is A LOT in my opinion. That’s more than a grande frappucino at Starbucks.
Despite the high prices I will say I was happy with my black sesame milk tea. I’m not sure if I’d come back, but it was definitely a nice treat for myself.

One of my favorite spots to grab some milk green tea. The coconut, coffee, and red bean flavors are my go to. I prefer the pudding and popping bubbles over the boba option. Try it! You’ll be just as surprised as I was. They have a good amount of seating inside although at times, it’s tough to find with all the college kids around. Also be patient when this happens! You’re going to be waiting for your order for a good 15 mins. (there’s usually one or two workers at a given time) They do serve rice plates and tea pastries here. I have yet to try it though. Price are fair. I usually order a large Iced milk green tea with pudding for $ 5.
They also have a rewards card where they punch a hole for every drink you buy. After 10 punches you get a free drink.

Nice place to study, usually not very crowded, with some music playing overhead (I’ve heard Taylor Swift, EXO, & some other kpop groups here). I’ve ordered hot black milk tea with boba multiple times, and for under four dollars, this place has the best price, for the taste and boba consistency. Has a decent bathroom; the key is by the cashier. The only setback is how far it is from the train (though the 57 does stop right by), otherwise I’d come here everyday, probably. Better for my wallet, I guess.

probably best bubble tea place in Boston, and yes I’ve tried more than a few places all over greater Boston area. I always get the green milk tea, no bubbles.
The beef noodle is very good too, with a little spicy kick. Much better than beef noodle @ Taipei Gourmet in Lexington MA. Street parking can be difficult.
Don’t park in front of Sleepys mattress store, saw a car get towed in literally less than 10 seconds. Poor towed car owner is out $ 200 – 300

Real tea, perfect boba, extensive menu. Yum! I ordered a peach green tea with boba and lychee jelly, and my bf got a matcha green tea smoothie with boba. Both were delicious. I forgot to ask for less sugar like I typically do, but it actually came out just right. And my favorite part– they didn’t skimp on the boba. I hate when places only give you a tiny spoonful!
We also wanted to try the shaved ice, but they were closing early that night due to the snow so we could only do togo orders. Hopefully we’ll be back again soon. I wish we lived closer– I’d be there every week!

I have never been more appalled at customer service in my life. I walked out to my car and while trying to put my large smoothie into the cup holder, I knocked it over. I spilt the entire smoothie all over my car and since I hadn’t even pulled out of my parking spot I assumed any decent human being with a half heart would just make me a new one. Nope. Not here. I showed the women the photo and my shirt and pants covered in smoothie and wasn’t even offered a napkin and told no new one. Appalling. Will never be back.

HUGE selection of teas and then in a massive amount of types. Clerk was a nice lady and let me be hesitant and an annoying customer before arriving at my tea decision. It tasted great and was a good finisher for my previous meal.

After getting kicked out of Refuge Café at 7pm, I ventured around the area and found this little gem.
The main reason i will be coming back is b/​c this place is open until 2am and their wifi actually work! As a graduate student who has an allergic reaction everything i have to study in libraries, I think this is a great place to study and the food+drinks are all reasonably priced. I ordered the octopus balls — did not taste fresh at all, but whatever, my goal was to get work done and that’s exactly what i did.
The staff can be a little rowdy at times, but it wasn’t anything a set of headphones can’t fix.

Tried Infusions the other day after being full from phở. Different from the Kung Fu Tea so we decided to try it out. Extensive (and I mean a massive wall of different varieties of drinks, smoothies, slushes, teas, you name it kinda drinks) with different varieties of toppings that are really filled at the bottom of your cup. The boy got some sort of iced tea with bubbles and he finished it so I assumed that it was good. I got the matcha green tea smooth and it was delicious. Very rich in favor and smoothie-​y. I like it!

I moved from Allston and I miss Infusions more than anything. Is so good, the service is so friendly and helpful, and they have an amazing rewards program (more tea, less money!). They have a soy milk option, too. They also have plenty of seating, perfect for studying or bringing a group of friends.

One of my favorite go-​to spots for boba tea, always perfectly chewy boba and real tea flavor. My personal favorite is the milk green tea with boba, half sugar. They ran out of the green tea last night and were low on boba, when I stopped in around 10:30pm. That’s actually OK with me because it tells me they brew and make fresh batches daily. So I tried a hot, black milk tea with black sesame powder, half sugar. It was delicious and hit the spot even though it wasn’t terribly cold last night. I know what I’ll be getting on the really cold, winter nights to come!

This used to be my go-​to place for bubble tea because they use fresh tea and not powder. At least this is true for their black milk tea, which is my usual order. Their boba has a nice texture, but I don’t order them in my bubble tea anymore because I don’t feel like chewing them. I know, I can be lazy sometimes!
Like most bubble tea places, you can customize the amount of ice, sugar, toppings, and type of milk you want. The service can be a bit slow here, as there is sometimes only one person working here. At most, two, which can mean long wait times even if there are only a few customers.
I wanted to give this place 4 stars, but the last few times I came, my order wasn’t good. They over brewed their tea, so it was a bit bitter for my liking.
If you visit, be sure to get their loyalty card. You get a free drink after you buy 10.

I used to come here a lot when they first opened. It was a quiet place to study and to chat quietly with friends. But since they introduced a flat screen TV and pop music it became a loud hangout place.
Recently I went back with a bunch of friends. We put 4 tables together (into a square) against the wall so we could sit down together and wait for our drinks.
The cashier asked us not to block the way for others so we huddled even closer to the wall. Then when we told them they forgot one of our drinks they insisted we move the tables back to the way they were before.
What?! Hold our drink hostage until we obey your preferences? When we became upset at their attitude a barista threatened to call the police, and we welcomed the idea, since they didn’t give us our drink. Of course later she realized they were in the wrong and didn’t.
Finally they made that one drink and we left asap. Not going back ever. Their attitude was beyond rude, freely scolding us as if they were the customer.
Note: They do have a large tea selection, but if you want coffee you’re out of luck.

I planned to use the internet to get some works done. The wifi didn’t work well. To everyone who’s considering visiting this place with the same intent, check their wifi before!

I got my go-​to drink, Almond Milk Tea, and it was just OK. I asked for ½ sugar which really made the drink not sweet at all. I don’t usually complain or ask for adjustments on my food/​drinks, but this was my last boba in Boston and I didn’t want it to be anything but sub-​par. I asked the barista if she could add the regular amount of sugar for my drink. She was nice and gave me a little dixie cup of their simple sugar syrup to add to my drink and I was able to adjust it to my taste. It tasted much better with more sugar, but the drink still did not have that strong almond milk tea flavor I was looking for.
I tried my friends Mango Green Tea with ½ sugar and that was much sweeter than my drink. It tasted just perfect. Also tried the Coconut Milk Tea which tasted more like a regular milk tea with a very slight hint of coconut if you looked for it. They give just the right amount of bubbles which are cooked to the right texture and chewiness.
Get a stamp card here, every 5 drinks you get a free tea egg and 10 drinks you get a free drink.

Once upon a time, I studied abroad in Australia where I had bubble tea EVERY day before class. I have yet to find a place that was as good until visiting this location.
For under $ 4 I got the coconut milk tea (without boba) and enjoyed that I could choose the sweetness. «Less than ¼» sweetness was perfect for me. Next time I may try it without sugar and see how I like it.
There was a bit of a wait because one person was working the register and there was only one person to make drinks. I could have arrived at a busy time-​Thursday night in this area tends to be busy. The cashier was really friendly. $ 3 credit card minimum and on-​street parking (if you are lucky enough to find a spot).
You can pick up a frequent buyer card for a free drink after several visits, or you can put $ 20 on a gift card for future visits and you will get a free large tea.

Infusion Tea Spa is a small café that sells bubble tea, hot tea, smoothies, and Taiwanese snacks. They have cute tables and chairs for patrons. After placing your drink order, don’t forget to pickup a stamp card (after the fifth drink, you can get a tea egg and after the tenth drink, you can get a free drink). Some of my favorite drinks include Black Milk Tea with Coffee Jelly, Taro Milk Tea with Coffee Jelly, Thai Iced Tea with Coffee Jelly, Peach Green Tea with Lychee Jelly, and Mango Green Tea with Lychee Jelly. I like how the milk teas are frothy at the top. I also like how you can specify the amount of added sugar (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). In my opinion, since the fruit flavored syrup is already sweet, 0% sugar will still taste delicious.

Came in with my family today. They were a bit confusing by the time to order. Cashier was very short and has no patience while we were only group to order in the place. The tea was ok but I don’t know if I want to spend money here again. There are so many options of boba tea shop that workers are a lot nicer.

Not sure whether I just came on an off day or if this is how they usually are, but my drink was quite disappointing. I ordered the Jasmine green tea with grass jelly and it was really watered down and lacked any tea flavor. The grass jelly was good, but the tea was really disappointing. A friend ordered the milk tea, and also complained about how watered down it was.
The store looks pretty old and needs renovations, but there is plenty of seating. I’d like to see this place updated and cleaned?
However, I did notice a group that ordered noodle dishes and it smelled and looked really good. I didn’t taste it though, but maybe it’s something to think about… However, with so many boba places around the area, I’m not certain I’ll be back.
If you do find that you frequent this place, it’s a good idea to get the store credit card so you get a free large drink and pay with that when you buy drinks. It does allow you to get more for your $!

It’s authentically asian and the tea flavors are so unique! They have brown sugar vanilla?! And mixtures of green tea with fruit flavors, which you don’t usually see…
The tapioca is soft, chewy, sweet and the perfect accompaniment to an unsweetened bubble tea! It was pretty pricey for a small drink so I wouldn’t come here too too often, but nevertheless, a good bubble tea spot!
In comparison to Kung Fu Tea, I would have to say it’s pretty similar. The flavors are different, but the tea and the tapioca balls are all great in both locations so go wherever is most convenient!
Not to mention, they also sell food!

Great selections of teas — I usually always get one of the iced green teas. My personal favorites are lychee and passion fruit! Conveniently located in the Allston area near many other restaurants, so I love coming here after a nice meal.
There are a few tables so you can sit down and enjoy your tea. I’ve also seen people study here, since it’s pretty quiet. You can also get one of their rewards cards — on your fifth drink, you get a free tea egg! Then after ten stamps, I believe you get a free drink. It’s too bad they don’t let you combine the cards. I definitely have at least ten of these cards lying around at home since I keep forgetting to bring it with me whenever I go.
Definitely better than some of the other bubble tea shops I’ve had — most of the other places are too sweet. Here, you can choose the level of sweetness you want. I usually get «¼ sweet» and it tastes delicious.
