Growing up in the North End and watching the neighborhood transform has been a wild experience. Some changes feel strange while others arrive with the perfect kind of charm. Matcha Loves Boba is one of the special ones. Sitting right on Hanover Street, it fits the rhythm of the neighborhood with ease and adds something fresh and uplifting.
Our family loves both matcha and boba so finding a place that celebrates the two together felt like a gift. This review is a little overdue. We actually visited only a few days after they opened and the whole team made us feel right at home. The staff were polite, warm, and incredibly generous with their time. They talked us through the menu, the flavors, and the creative combinations they were excited to offer. Their energy was sincere and inviting which is something you cannot manufacture.
We ordered the blueberry matcha and it was genuinely delightful. Rich, vibrant, perfectly blended, and full of character. It had that smooth calm flavor of good matcha with the brightness of blueberry folded in. Every sip felt intentional and balanced.
Matcha Loves Boba brings a beautiful spirit to the North End. Thoughtful drinks, kind people, and a space that feels like it belongs. We will absolutely be returning.
