Royaltea Boston

This place was underground and very relaxing atmosphere. I like that it was fast and quick. We got the matcha ice cream milk tea with pearls it was okay. The bubbles were mini and chewy. The prices here were very reasonable!

I have order from Royal tea many times. I love the mango cheese foam drink. It’s the best in Boston. I understand price increases on materials but using a cheap cup and no cover on mango cheese foam drink is unacceptable. I did not drop my cup but it was crack when I just poke my straw inside. Now, I didn’t get to enjoy my drink and it was pouring all over me. I guess even the straw is better quality that the cup. Please change your cups!

We really enjoyed our Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and this place has cheese foam as a topping, which we love. Service was quick too. It's tucked away down stairs, so it can be easy to miss.

Good new bubble tea place in the Boston Chinatown area! Very impressed by the quality of the tea and also the presentation! Nice reusable cups you can wash out and keep! Only downside is that due to being new the lines can get a little long. It took me about 15 - 25 mins to get my teas. No complaints about anything else! Would definitely try again!

Royaltea, where you’ll have some royalty boba! I always have such a joyful time at Royaltea and exploring all their boba options. There is some indoor seating and plenty of boba options to choose from. Staff is friendly and the boba comes out quickly. Definitely recommend Royaltea!

Great place for refreshing fruit or milk teas and high quality toppings. The fruit teas usually have fruit inside of them as well, a welcome addition. I tend to order the peach lemon tea or the fruit overload, both are great starting places. A little on the pricier side but worth it.

Great selection of teas, I chose a iced strawberry yogurt tea and it wasn't that great, still tasted warm. But I had a sip of my friends milk tea with the cheese foam and it tasted so good. So I'd recommend the cheese foam!

We had an unpleasant experience with Royal Tea, specifically for an order placed on September 24, 2023 and a subsequent interaction with one of your staff on September 25, 2023 from Royal Tea Chinatown location, 23b Tyler St, Boston, MA, 02111. On September 24, we placed an order through Chowbus for 4 drinks, and took extra care to specify in the notes that 3 of those should be without sugar. Unfortunately, all four drinks arrived with sugar, making them unsuitable for my friends. We understand that restaurants can get busy and oversights can happen. However, we were disappointed when the staff dismissed our concerns by mentioning that all of your drinks have natural sweetness. We can differentiate between natural sweetness and added sugar since we ordered drinks without sugar many times from this location. This response felt dismissive of our genuine concern. Our main issue, however, arose the following day when we called to rectify the situation. A young woman answered the phone and informed us that her manager was not available. We asked if she could help us reach her manager, as Chowbus advised that they could only assist if they received confirmation from Royal Tea. Regrettably, her response was far from helpful. She informed us that she did not have the manager’s contact, which was surprising to us. She then was unwilling to assist or facilitate a resolution by mentioning that she cannot help us reach anyone from the group. Most importantly, she hang up our phone abruptly when we were still asking her for help for alternate solutions. It was disheartening to experience this level of service, especially since our initial reason for the call was a simple issue about the order that can be solved with a remade or refund. This is the first time we have encountered such an experience, let alone being led to believe that a staff member does not have access to any of her group’s contact details.

This must be my favorite bubble tea spot in all the city. The matcha ice cream topped milk tea is the best thing invited since sliced bread. Sure, the location is very basement of Chinatown non-luxe feels (which it literally is), but the bubble tea is unmatched in tasty goodness.

I came on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed. My friends and I waited about 20 minutes to receive our bubble tea. I would do a mobile order if you can to avoid the wait! We ordered the taro milk tea, roasted oolong tea, and mango pomelo sago slush. The teas were delicious in flavor however the tapioca was extremely soft and tasted over-cooked. We were not a big fan of the boba/tapioca at all and wish it was chewier in texture. I would HIGHLY recommend the mango pomelo sago slush. The drink was very similar to a mango sago dessert and really refreshing. YUM. I would come back again for this drink!!

Really really good tea, very unique flavors I've never seen anywhere else like the ice cream milk tea. Self service cashier which makes ordering a lot more simple. Not much room inside but there's enough to look at and explore outside to compensate. Much love from Texas!

Drinks are great here. Highly recommend the mango sago 70% sweet. Small little store so it could get crowded at times. You can order head on the RICEPO app and sometimes they have little discounts!

Good boba in Chinatown. Order on the big touchscreen. I had the signature and it was good.

Had the brown sugar milk tea and fruit overload tea. Both were very good. The brown sugar milk tea is on the sweet side. The fruit tea was flavorful and packed with fruit as the name implies.

my new favorite bubble tea place in Bosto! Still open for delivery and take out! we ordered hot matcha milk tea with zero sugar and red bean and rose oolong tea with aloes. Matcha milk tea is still a little bit sweet without added sugar i guess it's because there is sugar inside of the matcha powder already. Rose oolong tea is really authentic. it's def brewed from the authentic leafy tea! loved it! Glad i can still find some milk tea places during this whole city lockdown...

Super solid jasmine milk tea with the right balance between tea and sweet milk flavors. I ordered it 50% sweet with no ice and it was perfect to my taste. The drink was served pretty quickly and price was reasonable relative to other Boston prices.

This place was very packed with Asian students on a Saturday night - good sign! Their specialty is the cheese tea, and maybe fruit teas? I've never been into cheese bubble teas, so I opted for something different - matcha ice cream milk tea with boba. The matcha ice cream is not high quality; looks more watery. I got it with 50% sugar, no ice, and it was still a little too sweet and plenty cold. It was a nice treat. Service was usual, a bit of a reasonable wait. Our friends got the roast oolong and king tea with boba and grass jelly that were really good. So you're aware, brown sugar boba are not whole tapioca. Will plan to be back for their other teas in the future. One thing different is that their cups are thicker, higher quality, and kinda cute! Seating is limited -- one strip along the wall. A few parties can sit and chat, but it's a bit noisy. Better served as a grab and go place.

All the fruit tea here is amazing... it's really refreshing I thought the sugar level was perfect. The strawberry fruit cheese is the best thing on the menu if you can justify a drink that's 7$. The fruit is fresh and you can still taste the real crushed up strawberries. The cheese foam is thicc and really complements the drink, it's like a strawberry cheesecake! -1 star because the OG milk tea wasn't that good, especially for a place that is supposed to be a bubble tea place. It was really watery and you couldn't really taste any tea.

We always strive to try a new boba place in every city we visit and Royaltea's reviews looked very promising. Originally I wanted the kumquat passion lemon tea but sadly they were out of lemon tea that day, so got the Cheese Black Grape slush instead. I'm glad they ran out of lemon tea because black grape was delicious. I was surprised to taste a very floral jasmine tea which complimented the sweetness of the grape very well; the mildly salted cheese foam added a savory note to the drink. Husband's go to is usually Thai tea, but he decided on Brown Sugar Boba Milk tea instead. Milk tea is his way of gauging the quality of the tea at each new boba spot. Surprisingly it wasn't as sweet as we expected it to be. Definitely creamy with some tea flavor and the boba was incredibly soft. Too bad nyc doesn't have a Royaltea branch. Will see if we can find a branch in some other cities we will visit in the future.

My new favorite bubble tea spot in Boston! I love how they have the classic milk teas but also have the fruity ones like the fruit overload with fresh fruit slices inside - unlike any other boba place I've been to! Their cheese milk teas are also worth a tree - the cheesy/salty taste can be a hit or miss for people but it's not because they didn't make it right! There is limited seating and I've seen the line out the door so wait times can also vary. But overall I love the tea quality, the boba texture and the variety of artistically blended drinks :)

My friend and I came here for dessert on a Wednesday night at around 8:30 PM. We were able to snag some seats despite the bustle! Their menu is pretty extensive and offers items such as cheese teas, fruit teas, and your classic milk teas. Because of the lack of descriptions on the menu itself, we resorted to Yelp pictures to get a better idea of what to expect. We decided to try their Bobo Milk Tea ($4.99), which consisted of milk tea, ice cubes, a thick layer of warm brown sugar, and plenty of boba. Note: you can't customize the sugar or ice levels due to the nature of the drink. We didn't know how to approach the drink at first. At the opposite end of the sip opening (which is plugged by the red spill stick), there's actually a place to stick the straw through. We gave the straw a good twirl to mix the contents up. This might've been the incorrect way to go about it, but it worked! I loved the abundance of boba, the brown sugar swirls, and the sweetness of the drink. :- ) The service here was a bit detached but the lines went by quickly! Its interior was quite narrow with a decent amount of seating. 10/10 would get the Bobo Milk Tea again!!

Don't leave it sitting out because that might SPOIL TEA Don't drink it when you have the runs or you might SOIL TEA If you like it hot, pop the stove on and just BOIL TEA And if you want the best Boba in Boston go to ROYALTEA! If you wanna keep it cold, maybe wrap it in FOIL TEA If you never go to other Boba shops, you're LOYAL TEA If you do cardio to work off Boba then you TOIL TEA But it's so worth it when you taste the flavours here at ROYALTEA When I came here I used a healthy dose of BABY OIL TEA And stepped into the tanning salon and got a nice BROIL TEA If I keep drinking Boba I will look like SUSAN BOYLE TEA But I won't care as long as I can keep coming to ROYALTEA WHAT My first trip to Royaltea was fantastic because I tried a bunch of amazing drinks and fell in love with what is now probably my favorite boba shop in all of New England. I didn't realize it was a big chain that's rapidly expanding across the US, but so be it. I don't appreciate having arguments with the ownership about what's good and what I'm going to like when I try to order off-menu but altogether they were pretty cool about resolving it in my favour and giving me what I wanted - and then the drinks themselves were absolutely spectacular. I've been to a whole host of Royalteas since then, including Baltimore and Toronto, and in each case, they refuse to make off-menu drinks for me, so I can't be too mad at this one location for (almost) enforcing a company wide policy. My first trip here I tried the milk tea and was absolutely in love with it. It's delicious and flavorful and the boba was excellent. The second one didn't go as well because they were closed before they were supposed to be closed and were mad that I was in there. But Royaltea has spectacular brown sugar milk tea and their regular milk tea is pretty decent as well - but I delved into the fruit menu despite having a long 15-minute conversation with them to convince them to give me a black tea mixed with their lemon instead of green. At first they weren't going to do it but then they saw the light and decided to cash in on an extra drink and give me what I wanted. I'm really glad they did because it was absolutely delicious. In fact it was the best lemon black tea I've had in a long time. One of the best I've ever had! They tasted it and seemed surprised that it was actually good. Wow. Maybe this customer isn't stupid after all. They tasted it and said that it was like Lipton. No my friends. It's a hell of a lot better than that! They gave me a hint that they were going to be willing to make it for me again in future but little did they know I'm not from around here - however they just earned themselves extra brownie points with me. Even though they were already getting five stars for their excellent brown sugar milk tea. The only negative that I have to point out was that I came the night before and they were closed about 52 minutes before the internet said they were supposed to. They had only been closed for about 8 minutes when I walked in and they could have pushed out the boat and rustled something up for me but they were pretty aggressive and telling me to get out. Oh well. Also they could have been a hell of a lot more genial and less patronising with the whole lemon black tea thing but once they did finally agree to make it they were nice about it and I made sure they understood that I absolutely loved the drink and I wasn't just exaggerating to prove myself right or to vindicate their decision or my request. I really really really really love the lemon black tea actually every bit as much as their wonderful brown sugar milk tea that made me come back here in the first place - but good luck getting them to make one for you! You may not get treated like Royalty... but you still need to go to Royaltea. If you are Edam, I'll be BRIE If you're the princess, I'm the PEA If you want sausage, I'll bring the D But if you want Boba, try ROYALTEA I ran here so fast, I blew out my KNEE It hurt so bad, like an EMERGENCY But I said no, don't call the EMT Just take me for Boba at ROYALTEA If you're Dr. Watson, it's ELEMENTARY If you have 2 lovers, wanna make it the THREE? If the bathroom's empty, I need to PEE And if you need Boba, go to ROYALTEA If you like Sade, just call me the MARQUIS If you're running for election, I'm an ABSENTEE If I'm a Spice Girl, you're a WANNABE Are you from Nashville cuz you're the only TEN I SEE If you're Pam Anderson, I'm TOMMY LEE If I'm Dallas, you can do me like DEBBIE If you're Macauley in My Girl, I'm the BEE So float like a butterfly down to ROYALTEA If this review gets censored you can blame the FCC Wanna see a Wonka, I'll show you the WILLY As for Barbie, she's out looking for the BBC I hope she's willing to share with ME I mean, there's a reason they call me AC/DC That's a pretty average night at house of FOX E & BARBIE And yes I'm very proud that we're both LGBT But there is nothing average about drinks at ROYALTEA!

Royaltea is some of the most refreshing bubble teas I have had so far. I ordered the Fruit Overload which comes infused with apple, orange, watermelon, passion fruit, and honey green tea - this was the best fruit bubble tea I have had in the city. This however came out to about $7.00 so it's pricey, but at least the portion sizes were massive. I'm not a huge fan of Milk bubble tea and always opt for the fruity, tea-based drinks instead and Royaltea hit the nail on the head on this one. I did ask for 30% sugar, and I still felt like it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'm not sure how people drink regular sweetness for these!! I do think the packaging is adorable here, the cups are sturdy (kind of like a matte material), and the drink itself is super refreshing if you don't want to opt for the milk tea drinks. I really would love try their other Fresh Fruit Slush drinks which come topped with the infamous cheese foam (they seemed to be advertising this a lot when I walked into the shop! and it looks so good!)

My new favorite spot in Chinatown for drinks! I forgot if I had their bubble tea here, but I am in love with their passion fruit yoghurt drink. It is incredibly refreshing and I am always in the mood for it. This place is always so packed (for good reason) and have limited seats available. It does get a bit claustrophobic, so its better to just grab n go and find another spot in Chinatown to hang out. I am still not sure how I feel about cheese foam yet... but my friends love it here and I guess they do it well, so there's that.

I came here with some family after we had dinner at the nearby Emperor Garden. Royal Tea is one of the newer players in the busy bubble tea scene in Chinatown. This place was very busy on a Saturday night and there was a line all the way to the door! They have about 6-7 small tables that can seat groups of 3 or 4. We waited about 10 minutes to get served. We ordered the Oolong Tea with Cheese and Taro Milk Tea with Cheese and Boba. I exclusively only order Taro flavor every time for my bubble tea and I felt like it fell short here. The bubble tea seemed very watery and liquidly as if it was watered down and cheese had a weird texture and tasted off. I probably won't be back as there are better options nearby.

Tried this for the first time because I saw they had Rose Oolong Tea. The inside is small but clean. The tea was refreshing and had real tea taste; very strong. Great taste but a bit pricey. Almost $5 for a medium.

- Hands down my favourite bubble tea place - It's the quality of the tea AND the bubbles that make this place awesome - It makes sense that it's a little more expensive compared to other brands - Underground - Enough seating - Fast service - They also offer cheese teas but that's not my thing

Overhyped, crowded, expensive. My friends have been hyping up this place for a really long time so I finely decided to try it with them. I ordered the rose tea milk cap and man was I disappointed.... The teas were soooo small..and so expensive. And you have to pay extra to add in bubbles. The foam also tasted OK. It was a bit too bland. I actually had a much better milk cap from cha-time. This place is also SUPER packed and wait takes forever... Really not worth it tbh.

Royaltea was my first experience with cheese foam in my bubble tea. It's a small shop, and it was super packed. The seating situation is pretty bad since it's a small narrow space. But if you're getting your bubble tea to go, it's pretty good! They actually use real fruit if you order a fruit flavor. The cheese foam is interesting, a little salty, which makes the tea taste sweeter. Prices are on the higher side, but that may just be because it's Boston.

Royaltea is located in Chinatown, Boston MA. It is located on Tyler Street and is basement level so it is quite easy to miss. The inside is very narrow and hard to maneuver when there is a line. It is not ideal to order and leave or order and stay and I will explain why. The line awkwardly starts right as you enter so you are forced to line up by moving deeper into the store when it is busy. Once you make your way back to the front where the cashier is and placed your order, if you are lucky to be able to grab a seat, you can sit and wait comfortably for your tea to be prepared. If there are no seating available, and there are very limited seating, you have to then navigate to the back of the store again and wait there for your drink. My husband ordered a large ice brown sugar milk tea. The is no option of less sugar. My husband didn't like his drink. I thought the boba tasted good but the tea itself was lacking. I ordered a medium cold matcha latte with cheese for myself. I have had better matcha cheese tea so it was a 3 out of 5 overall for me. I hate to be this tough but I am going to say definitely go to the other tea shops nearby.

When you are literally surrounded by 5 other competitors, it's really hard to stand out. Or is it...? My friend wanted boba tea, so we decided to walk our way over to RoyalTea. Their gimmick is adding cheese to the boba tea, but we didn't try it. I played it safe and got the Jasmine Milk Tea. I was pleasantly surprised how fresh and fragrant this was. I LOVE the small of jasmine and that was enough to win me over the competitors. The last time I enjoyed boba this much was when I first discovered Chatime a few years back. With some reluctance, I will try the cheese gimmick.

Probably one of the best tea quality you can get in Chinatown as far as boba goes... 5 star for tea 3 stars for the bobas The bobas are always a little hard for my liking. I do think that royal tea does their teas very well though, better than most places in the area. They also have the cheese tea if you're a fan.

Really impressed. Great boba and amassed service. Came in before close and not only workers were very nice but they gave me free boba. I forgot to add boba to my tea and I asked them to add it. They did so without a charge. Would return!!!!

This hidden spot is in the middle of Chinatown but underground. It took quite some time for them to make our drink but overall, it wasn't bad. It was a little too milky for me but I know others would like theirs like this. Their cups are really cute and I like that they use big ice cubes! I will come and try something else another time!

It was empty on a Saturday evening when I came in, where you walk a few stairs down into a semi-basement at the edge of Chinatown. I appreciate the large plexiglass barrier and intercom system so you can hear the employee more clearly. I ordered a medium "The King" which consists of oolong tea with cheese foam. I asked for half sugar and less ice, with tapioca. The pearls were warm and soft, and the cheese foam was the perfect amount of creamy and salty. I wish I had gotten my tea to be a bit more sweeter, but it was a good combination with the foam. I usually do comparisons of boba shops with their original black bubble milk tea, but this specific drink is a solid 5/5.

Came back here during the covid crisis. There was still a wait. Hopefully not too bad tho. Only sucks that they don't have large size for the brown sugar milk when that is my favorite! I had so many question cause I wanted some cream puffs on my milk tea but still ended up getting my usual. I don't think they do delivery but I think you can order ahead. Or pick up. I'll have to learn some more info about it but I'll be keeping up with the announcements for this pandemic situation

The matcha ice cream milk tea is so so delicious!! I've gotten it several times and it's always perfection. Brown sugar milk tea and regular milk tea also do not disappoint.

Ooh, definitely upper echelons of boba tea! :) I got the cheese lychee slush w/white boba and it was... delicious. Sweet but not too sweet. Hitting the spot on a humid Boston summer day. At over $7 w/o tip (!), this treat will similarly be reserved for celebratory/something fancy, lol. It was really tasty but again, it is tough to justify the cost. Taste-wise, it was great.

Delicious tea and boba. It was good. Go here if you live in Boston. Or even better go here if you live in Massachusetts

The space is small. The drink is okay. I got the king which was the test with cheese. Drinks were pricy. Service was fine.

I got their Cheese Strawberry, which is essentially strawberry purée with cheese top. It was really sweet even after I asked for 50% sugar. The bottom half of the drink was better after the cheese foam was well mixed in.

A small little shop in Chinatown with a huge range of drink options. A friend recommended this cheese red dragon drink with boba, and it was a treat. There was a bit of a wait for my friend and I, but we could have ordered ahead. The drink was not overly sweet and the cheese on top was a great mix with the dragon fruit. Would love to come back and try more flavors here :)

This is a small boba tea place in Chinatown. If you didn't know it was there, you'd walk right past it. I highly recommend that you come and try and their cheese tea. This is the only place I've seen cheese tea before. If you're lucky, you can catch street parking in Chinatown or walk here. The tea is a bit pricey but it is a nice treat. We ordered the milk tea with boba ($5) and a Red Dragon Tea with Cheese ($6). Should I tell you what they mean by cheese or let you figure it out? Well I will say, the taste is not not the "cheese" you are thinking of. It's like a cream/foam layer on top of the tea

If you're an adventurous eater and love unique flavor combinations, you NEED to go here and get the cheese tea!! I don't think I had ever heard the words cheese and tea together before, and it was definitely not what came to mind when my friends wanted to meet for bubble tea. I also had never been to Royaltea, but after seeing the picture of the cheese lychee tea in the restaurant and reading through some other yelp reviews, I had to try it. We crammed into the tiny shop to order and waited about 5-10 minutes for our drinks. The drinks come in cute reusable plastic cups. My drink came out with a pink gradient from the lychee and a generous amount of cheese foam on the top - check out the picture. Thankfully the restaurant includes a recommended way of drinking the cheese tea so I didn't have to guess. You sip and try to get a little of the cheese foam and fruit or milk tea at the same time, creating the perfect union of salty/tangy and sweet/creamy. I've never had anything like it. It's really tight in the shop, so my suggestion is get an order to go. I'll be back to try some of the other flavors next time I'm in Chinatown.

Wow I wish I came here sooner. The matcha milk tea here is my new favorite of all bubble tea shops. I love that you can taste the milk tea in there too!!

We were at the "Q" restaurant and our waiter there told me to not get their boba but instead, to stop by RoyalTea. Our waiter from the "Q" told me to order the following: Ice cream milk tea w/ matcha ice cream, with boba. We strolled down there after dinner where we remained in the heart of Chinatown. This place was cute as hell. Surrounded by shady looking Asian places, this place was hip/modern but with a hint of authenticity. I ordered my drink which I listed above. It turned out to be pretty darn good!! I normally get the generic shit from Jackie Chan's in Vegas. Which taste like candy.. but this was legit authentic and delish!! Just like the waiter said, it's a must try when your in Chinatown or just craving a boba tea!

I can't believe that I never updated my review even I purchased their drinks many times. I always come here for their drinks when I am in Chinatown before pre-pandemic. There are many bubble tea shops but this is always my number choice. It has been more than 1 1/2 years since I tried their drinks again. It still did not disappoint me. Fruit overload is made with jasmine green tea with fresh fruit included red dragon fruit, lemon, watermelon, and strawberry. Fruit overload is highly recommended. I personally think it is the best fruit tea in Chinatown.

Pretty pricey but tastes good. Not too sweet, and the cheese foam is a nice addition!

A solid bubble tea place in the Chinatown area. The drinks are a bit pricier than the other places around but they do a good job with their drinks. Their lemon fruit series is good and you can't go wrong with any of the drinks on there. This is also one of the few bubble tea places around that actually has seats for people to sit and chill. Bonus: They also have a bathroom!

Drinks here are on the pricier side $6+ for most drinks with cheese foam but it's well worth it. The cheese foam in the mango smoothie, mixed fruit drink and oolong tea is divine in texture and flavor. The saltiness breaks up the sweetness! My one complaint is the wait time. During peak and non peak hours, I've waited upwards of 15 minutes for a drink. I would allot time to wait if you come try this place! *Bonus they don't advertise this but they have a loyalty system! Just add your phone number to the little iPad in front of the register before your order

Royal Tea really lives up to it's name especially when I see the prices. It's a little more than Kung Fu Tea. Cheese in tea? what is this madness?It's called deliciousness. I was turned off of the idea until I had it myself. This is definitely a treat yourself kind of bubble tea. The King cheese tea is very good and Brown Sugar Milk tea are delicious. Those are the only two I've had so far.

Omg!! Finally went here last night with my boyfriend after convincing him to try the cheese teas with me. We loved them!!! AH! First, we tried the rose oolong cheese tea and sakura cheese tea. They were sooo good and the cheese was cool too. It's like half salty half sweet, and then the sweetness of the actual tea brings it altogether. Then tonight we tried the strawberry blizzard (frozen) cheese tea and the black grape blizzard cheese tea. These were 2 x more delicious we didn't even think that was possible. The strawberry tasted like a strawberry cheesecake!! Definitely will be coming back here for more!

One of my favorite boba places in Boston! This place has really good matcha milk tea and regular black milk tea. You order at the counter, and since the restaurant is pretty small, there is not much seating. I imagine rush hour lines must be really long, but the two times I've been here (both on Sunday afternoons), it was relatively empty. The first time I went I got the classic milk tea with pearls, and I though that it was really good. Half sweetness was perfect for me, because it wasn't too sweet. The tea flavor was also pretty strong, which I liked. The second time I went I got the matcha milk tea. Honestly, I felt like the matcha milk tea was a little on the not sweet side. Even though I don't normally like sweet drinks, I feel like I would have been okay if this drink had 75% sugar. The pearls were consistently good though, they were pretty squishy and chewy, and none of them were hard. I think I'll definitely be back!

I've only been here once and I'm already giving 5 stars just for their Vanilla Ice Cream Milk Tea. I was expecting a milk tea float type deal when I ordered it, but it came out like a regular cup of milk tea. I think what they did was blend vanilla ice cream in it and used it as the "milk". So when you drink it, it's rich and creamy from the ice cream. It's SO good. I'm pretty sure I finished my drink in 10 seconds. Downside is that this place is very small with limited seating. When I came here, the line to order was out the door. I didn't get boba so I can't speak on how good their boba is. But I will be back for their ice cream milk tea and to try some of their other drinks!

Yum! Great milk tea! You can specify milk, sweetness, and ice level. I just wish they had slush options.

If you are looking for a Bubble tea place without the bubbles--this is your place. The lines are long and the service is slow, but when I finally reached the counter to place my order they informed me that they are out of boba. They could have posted a sign or let customers know that they were out. Anyway, I had set my mind to it so I was going to get a drink. I landed up getting a cheese boba. Sounds odd right? Surprisingly it was delicious. The sweet from the lychee tea with the salty from the cheese made a great combination. Would have given a lower rating if the bubble tea didn't redeem this joint.

I love cheese top bubble tea drinks and am so happy to find Royal Tea here!! The store is small but they offer good mount of seatings! The line might be long but it moves pretty quickly. Nice place to sit down and enjoy some quality bubble tea with friends!

Another new bubble tea shop in Chinatown! I feel like this is a regular occurrence in Boston nowadays and I am not complaining. From what I see already on Yelp, they are really known and loved for their fruit teas which uses actual fresh fruit. I would definitely give that a try next time! As usual I always get a milk tea with bubble. I can on a weekday around 1 and took my around 15 minutes to get my drink. It wasn't overly busy and two other parties got their drinks before I did so the wait is definitely a problem with two people making drinks. As for the drink itself, it was quite milky, good tea flavor, perfect sweetness at 30%. But it tasted fruity? Maybe the container used to make mines wasn't washed properly. The boba were quite chewy and actually tasted great. But I do have a complaint for the lid itself. Not the best design for a drink that needed a straw as it opens up to reveal half the drink. It was also hard to pull that half of the lid up without taking off the lid first. I like to just take my straw, stab it and go! All in all, I would return and try their fruit teas because they really are unique in Boston!
