Vivi Bubble Tea Cafe Quincy

I was so highly disappointed with the beef bowl. I mean the amount of fat I removed fromthe bowl was insane. It was worth only worth 5 bucks. Never again. The calamari and squid tentacles were okay. Some of the batter was still a tad raw.

I enjoyed the waffle sundae. I have visited a few times. Great spot for a late night snack.

Great bubble tea and food, the fried Gyoza are really good.

Grapefruit Tea with mango jelly. Cajun chicken. That’s all you need to know. Doesn’t disappoint ever.

When I crave Taiwanese style fried chicken, I order their popcorn chicken. The flavor is really nostalgic for me and the portion is pretty good for the price. It is a nice protein option if you want to grab something small. The store has some seats but the music is sometimes deafening loud.

Nice cafe for bubble teas and quick bites in the busy restaurant area of Quincy. Got the tiramisu milk tea and it was delicious. I also got a serving of dumplings and they were nice and hot. The dipping sauce was a nice compliment. The service was good and priced were competitive.

Great fun refreshing specialty Boba drinks fun for the kids

The service was good but the food was very subpar. I got the beef skewer and it was very bland. I also got the Oreo crème brûlée boba with pudding boba. Not the worst I’ve ever had but not great.

My favorite was the peach tea with boba and it came with pulp and other jello/jelly inside too, I thought it was really good and not too sweet. They make the drinks pretty fast and whatever flavor we try has always been consistently good. I feel like whichever flavor we get will be good because we've been here few times and was always good every time we went. Consistent, quick, and reliable for boba!

A real tornado of flavor, I would wholly recommend the popcorn chicken as a quick snack for 2. The portion size is large and there are a bunch of flavors you can choose from. HOWEVER, that's where the niceties end. I ordered a taro milk tea which is a staple of any milk tea spot and despite costing almost $8 for a large, it tasted like cheap powder you can buy at the market and had way too much water. I couldn't even finish it and threw it away after a few sips. I recommend Vivis to just stick to making chicken!

Vivi's is always a solid option for when you want boba & some Asian snacks, like onigiris, takoyaki, etc. They're open till 12am Fri/Sat & 9:30pm Sun-Thurs. Gets pretty packed at night but line moves fast and drinks are made quick, within a few minutes, if you get food, it's about 5-10 minutes. I like to get the Passionfruit QQ whenever I go here, as well as one of their onigiris. Occasionally, I'll order takoyaki or corn dogs. They've got a pretty extensive menu & continue to introduce new drinks! I've been itching to try their mango & coconut drinks. Overall, a solid place to get drinks & Asian street food ;) Parking: can be found out Hancock St & Billings Rd.

Popped in again late night, had craving for some egg puffs (sesame flavor) and some bubble tea. The lady always gets the QQQ and i usually go with oolong milk to with herbal jelly! We also grabbed a onigiri, typically i also get a popcorn chicken order too but wasn't hungry. The staff is quick, you can order ahead of time, with one of the food delivery apps or just walk up and place your order. Super cute spot, had renovated in recent years to host private functions on the other half of their space. There also a bunch of claw games on site you can try your luck/skill at. Easy parking in front, just a great spot to jump to if in the area and don't want to go into Boston for tea do's etc that closes at midnight as well. Will def be back next time!

Dragon Fruit Crème Float was pretty decent. The crème part wasn't as good as I expected it to be but probably should've mixed the whole drink instead of drinking it separate in layers. Now that mango crepe cake 8/10 *chefs kiss* can never truly go wrong w/ a crepe cake or anything mango. Just picked a grab and go order but the store is super cute to hang out in.

Decent boba, not my first pick but not the worst! The tea isn't that strong here compared to other places. For reference my favorite boba spot is TenOne Teahouse. I got the top 16 Coffee Jelly Bubble Milk tea 50% sugar and it took around 10-15 minutes to make because they forgot about my drink. Points mainly taken off because the tea isn't strong enough and boba is a little hard.

There are so many good flavors of milk tea in the café and the popcorn chicken are delicious.​

A wonderful place to just sit and chat. Vivi Quincy has something for all ages. Teens and adults can sit and talk while eating while kids can stimulate themselves with the nearby claw machines. They have an accessible bathroom and a simple floor plan so you can get around despite the size of the cafe itself being quite small. The menu is clear and concise, easy to read and so many options to choose from. I typically get the coffee jelly boba milk tea, the boba is chewy, recently it's been a bit warm which I don't love but that doesn't put me off from the boba. The food is always hot and delicious, my favorite recommendations are the popcorn chicken (garlic), takoyaki, wing dings, and cheesecake. The service depends on how busy it is and how big your order is. If you just order drinks it'll be quite fast but if you order a lot of food (like my friend and I typically do) it can take quite a bit. However, I believe the wait is always worth it. The staff is very understanding if they get your order wrong and try their best to be as efficient as possible. I've been going here for over six years and I always find myself coming back to this cozy and humble cafe.

The popcorn chicken, dumplings and shrimp tempura onigiri are a must try in my option. Also trying out different flavors of milk tea is fantastic.

Vivi is consistently one of my favorite bubble tea spots! Every location I've been to has been consistently delicious & I can't help but usually order the same few things :) Flaming Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea: My go-to order! Thai Bubble Milk Tea: A great Thai tea! Oreo Cream Brûlée Bubble Milk Tea: So so so good and unique! Creamy, foamy and cookie-y LOL Vivi has my favorite tapioca boba as well - gummy, chewy and sweet, but just the right amount. The ambiance is cute and the service is always quick and friendly!

Decent. Depends on the day. Often times good sometimes disappointing. I am still a regular here

I ordered the Vivi's Signature Fruit Tea w aloe. So refreshing and so delicious. The place is very clean and spacious. You can order other things off the menu. I plan to order again the same thing. Service was via GrubHub online ordering. However, next time I will do a tip!

Vivi is famous for its delicious Popcorn Chicken, with lots of flavor options to choose from. My personal favorites are the Garlic and Salt & Pepper varieties. Their Taiwanese sausages also make for a great appetizer or snack. And of course, I can't forget to mention their bubble teas--especially with coffee jelly, which is a must-try!

Got a Strawberry Bubble tea and it was SO tasty and refreshing. Really great spot with many options! First time visiting and def returning! Gonna try the Taro Creme Brulee milk tea next time.

We love the tea and snack. There has a lot of Asian snack than another one. I love original tea and HongKong egg puffs.

Such a cute boba cafe!! I feel surrounded by cuteness and you just can't help but be happy by all the cuteness around you! Coming here will definitely brighten up your mood and they have great bubble tea and snacks as well. They also do stamp cards which I love because I get boba wayyy too often!

Food/drinks (1.5/2): Had ordered the boba here as well as those puff-waffles. The drinks were great with decent options of sweetness and ice. Great size and flavors were pretty much on point. Though the bobas here weren't anything stellar, it was definitely one of the better ones out of most of the boba shops I've tried around Boston. Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): Service was to be expected of the place. The people were courteous, quick, and friendly. Wait-time for a boba shop is decent, slightly on the quick side. Cleanliness was a bit sub-par in my opinion. Not sure if it's due to the vibe (somewhat like an "arcade" feel) or just lack of attention. Price (0.5/1): Given much worse places I've tried that charged similar, I would say they definitely deliver more for what they charge. Objectively, still a teensy bit on the expensive side but overall great!

I've been here a handful of times and usually get some sort of fruit tea with bubbles and jelly. I've never been disappointed and overall it's comparable to other bubble tea places I've tried. Last time we tried it via DoorDash for the first time. This was also my first time trying their food. I got: Kani Onigiri: So good! (granted I'm no Onigiri expert by any means) Next time I'd like to try the eel as well. Crispy Chicken Cutlet Rice Bowl: Tasty and a decent sized portion. Nothing special, but I enjoyed it and would definitely order again. Crepe Cake: My partner and I each ordered one of these and I'm SO glad we had two. This was the standout for me and something I'm looking forward to getting again! Light, airy, sweet and delicious. Overall I'm a fan.

The bestttt popcorn chicken in the area. Love the rest of their food/snack menu too. Drinks are okay. My go to would be 3Q(boba, grass jelly and egg pudding) milk tea and kumquat lemon tea.

Came here for the first time, in the middle of the afternoon. Ordered the large lychee slushee with boba. Total was $6.42. What's Hot - Location. Conveniently located in Quincy. There are many amenities close by- restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc... It's helpful that there are other amenities within walking distance, as well. - Quality. My lychee slushee was pretty good. I could taste the lychee, but it wasn't a very strong lychee flavor, which was kind of disappointing. However, the slushee also wasn't overly sweet, which I like. No skimping on the boba, either, which is definitely appreciated. The slushee was pretty icy, rather than more liquid, which is important. It held it's slushee consistency pretty well for a couple of hours, too, which was pretty good. - Menu variety. Pretty good menu variety- milk teas, slushees, boba, a variety of jellies, and a decent selection of food. I prefer boba cafes that include food as part of their menu. - Price. Everything appears decently priced. For a large slushee with boba to be less than $7 is pretty good. - Health and safety. During this time of the pandemic, I appreciate shops and restaurants that take the extra precautions. All staff wore masks and some wore gloves, as well. There are also clear plastic dividers at the counter. What's Not - Parking. There's street parking, but it's a difficult situation. Street parking is time limited for 1 hour, which makes it difficult if you plan to eat on site. Depending on the day and time, it would be difficult to find parking, as well. With street traffic the way that it is, parallel parking conditions are not conducive. I was able to find street parking, but with oncoming traffic, it definitely took me several minutes to actually park my car. Just be aware. - Food. Although I didn't order any food, I saw some batter sitting on their waffle iron. The batter appeared to be partially raw and partially cooked. I'm not completely certain, but the point is that it didn't look right. I've read previous reviews that the flavor and taste, including sweetness, is off. Based off of what I saw, I'm hesitant to order order their waffles. Final Answer Would want to come back, but probably not regularly, because of the parking.

As a disclaimer, this was based on an Über Eats order. I guess I am a tough crowd... Don't get me wrong, the stuff I had was solid, but nothing worth writing home about. I write here because I got to keep the Yelp game strong. Ordered some popcorn chicken (Cajun variety) and bubble tea. The bubble tea was alright, no complaints. There was nothing super spectacular about it, but then again, bubble tea by nature is not Something which brings the fireworks. The chicken though, I was hoping for a little bit of fireworks, especially considering the Cajun flavoring. What I liked was that it wasn't overly greasy, and it was delightfully moist. On the other side however, I found it having an inadequate amount of breading. Also, while I did feel there was some Cajun spice in there, it was more like a hint then something that helped give it some oomph. I might give them another shot with some of their other options, just not the chicken.

This is one of my favorite tea shops in Quincy. Their iced lemon kumquat jasmine tea(30% sugar) is awesome. I love the fragrance of the drink. Their popcorn chicken is also really good. The portion is very generous and the chicken is always crispy, juicy, piping hot and not too salty.

the food and drinks here are okay. but pay attention to what you pif as they automatically add on 20% tip. I look around and there is no sign warning customer the tip will be added.

Tried this place for the first time over the weekend: 1 - garlic popcorn chicken is so yummy and crispy, there was plenty in the bag and the portion was enough for 2 people. My only complaint is that each piece is a bit too big to be "popcorn" sized. 2 - the hong kong waffle left more to be desired, each puff was hollow-ish inside and lacked the fluffy pancake texture, it also had a strong vanilla taste like too much extract was added 3 - the lemon kumquat tea was tasty but too sweet overall even though I got no sugar added - overall good but would not order again 4 - the green milk tea was pretty standard and the bubbles were soft and chewy as they should be Would come back for chicken but then take said chicken to onezo to get a tea from there instead!

Great drinks & service. Enjoy the bubble tea and the egg waffles. The popcorn chicken (all flavors) are good.

I don't usually come here, but whenever I do, I am still not impressed. For a boba spot, this place is very bland. I've probably only tried 3 drinks here, but all 3 drinks I have tried had absolutely no taste. It literally tasted like water or straight up milk. The popcorn chicken here is probably the only thing I like ordering. The egg puffs here are okay..I have definitely had better. If you are new to the area, you should give it a shot. I however am not a big fan of this place and will only come here if my friends are really craving it.

Their drinks are good but now they raised the price very high, same as other boba stores. I would go somewhere else to have better drinks and get better served. I don't agree with how they work on their reward stamp policy. You have to buy 10 transactions in order to get 1 free drink. Last 2 years they let everyone pick any drink including specialty. Then last year they limit, only regular drink, you can't pick drink in specialty section. And now they change again, you can only get cheapest free drink if your transaction has larger or more expensive drinks. This is not fair. Customers spend lots of money to get 10 stamps to get 1 free drink. They didn't just get a free drink out of nowhere. Now they treat customers like a drink thief or a begger.

We live in Quincy so Vivi is our to go spot by default since it's open late and has snack options. The garlic popcorn chicken is offff the hook, I am going back for it. We order there a lot, customer services is great. I ordered a cheese foam tea last week and it tasted baddd, and the lady at the cash register was like how can I make it up to you. Great attitude. Don't order cheese foam jasmine btw. We always get passion fruit, not the cheapest boba tea but it's worthy for its popcorn chicken. A great pick me up.

The last time I came here and gave a review was a year ago. Came back to here today since we were down the street after having some banh mi's and was craving for egg puffs. We ordered the egg puff with vanilla ice cream and porkys with sprinkles toppings. Mango boba tea. The egg puffs were a big disappointment. It was hard as a cookie. When you break the egg puff in half, they were very cheap with the batter. It was basically hollow inside versus other egg puff places that has the middle filled all the way through. There was a burnt tasted to them too. Maybe we came on a bad day?! But the egg puffs were definitely wasn't worth it today. Overall experience, great little place to meet up with friends, friendly staffs, prices were a bit high, expect hard egg puffs since they let it sit out too long after getting them off the press.

Came here recently on a quest for a taro product after a conversation about the root. Got a lychee slush which was great, but I wasn't too crazy about the taro milk tea, I think I made the mistake of not getting it made a particular way. Still good regardless. Very kitschy, urban novelty vibe with lots of options for the boba tea enthusiast. Service was great, can't complain. I don't think I'd go out of my way for it, but if you're in the area running errands it's a good spot for an eclectic beverage.

After my most recent visit I can happily say I'm glad I gave this place another chance! As mentioned previously, the general manager reached out to me almost immediately wanting to apologize for the less than stellar customer service. (See previous review if you're curious.) Since we don't live conveniently close to this location, we stopped by after grabbing lunch with my parents for belated Chinese New Year celebrations in Quincy. Even though the GM wasn't in at the time, the woman helping me reached him over the phone to relay the message. Everyone at the cafe was very helpful this second time and I was pleasantly surprised that they gave us a complimentary order of hot bubble tea drinks and an egg puff! We really appreciate that this business values customer service to reach out to me to come back to deliver a positive experience! I honestly was just expecting to receive a % off discount on the order since that was what the coupon that they were originally giving out was for. My parents also really enjoyed their teas, and commented that they loved that they could adjust their sugar/sweetness level (30% for them, 100% regular for me haha). I forgot to mention last time (since I didn't see the area), but they also have a section of games for customers to borrow and play while hanging out at the cafe. While we waited for our drinks we played Uno and they also have Connect 4, deck of cards and some others I didn't recognize. Anyway I'm looking forward to visiting again in the future and thanks again to the GM and the staff of Vivi Bubble Tea!

Sad to be giving this place 3 stars. It's such a fun place and the people are nice. But the food has ABSOLUTELY no flavor!! I got a matcha egg puff with matcha ice cream. The egg puff tasted like nothing, didn't even have a regular waffle taste it was like eating tasteless bread. And the matcha ice cream had a very subtle matcha flavor. DO NOT GET THE MATCHA CREPE CAKE! I was so excited to try this and SO disappointed. It has a very weird chemically taste to the point where I think they made some kind of mistake like dropping cleaner in the batter. It's a really cool concept and has a lot of promise and the food looks really cool it's just all missing the mark when it comes to taste and flavor.

Place is small with a few counter seats but is more of a takeout place than sit down (not sure if was any different prior to Covid). I've ordered here a few times and the drinks are good and correct each time. I love to order the spicy popcorn chicken and maybe some onigiris. I really enjoy the snacks. The onigiri is usually filled with a good amount of filling while the chicken is well seasoned with spice. Only issue I have would be the consistency. Sometimes the chicken will be under seasoned while sometimes it's packed full of flavor.

My go to pit stop for bubble tea whenever we are in Quincy. Favorites are the standard iced milk tea with boba, coconut, and honeydew. My kids love their mango slushies and the HK bubble waffles which come out piping hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. What a treat! Always leaves you wanting more.

Alright as far as boba places go. Highly recommend the cajun popcorn chicken! Haven't seen this flavor in other places, but we really enjoyed it. The garlic flavor on the other hand was average at best. The takoyaki was similarly lackluster. The bubble tea was alright, but not very strong in flavor. It was also on the less sweet side--I normally order 30%, I got 70% here and it felt only slightly sweeter than normal. Note: the "pork jerky" onigiri is pork floss.

The salt and pepper popcorn chicken is to die for! Leaves you wanting more and comes with a generous amount to share. Boba tea has an abundance of options, always a sweet treat when you crave a truly fun drink!

Love coming here for a quick bubble tea fix and some snacks. I got the taro milk tea and it was standard. It was very milky so ask for less if you don't like that! We also got the basil popcorn chicken which was SUCH a great idea! It was seasoned nicely and I wish I ordered another one! Attached are photos!

I love this place. I can honest say this is the best boba place I've tried in the extended Boston area. The flavors are always there and the little snacks that you can order really completes the experience here. I love the popcorn chicken they serve here! Super crispy and juicy. It's bomb dot com with cajun or garlic flavoring. Keep in mind this place is surrounded by elementary/middle/high schools. Avoid swarms of children by not going right when school is out.

Vivi, you always got my back when I want garlic popcorn chicken and a strawberry slushie

What's not to like about delicious, customizable teas??? I love the passion and my kid gets the coconut milk tea. The hot snacks have been so delicious. We tried the famous popcorn chicken (so flavorful and fun to eat, not too much breading) and the grilled sausage, which came on three sticks and tasted like honey spare ribs. Everything was ready on the early side after we ordered online. So good

I was in the area after having some solid Pho from down the street when I remembered hearing that this place wasn't too far away. The inside of the restaurant definitely has a very childish vibe and seems like a great place to have a 5-year-old's birthday party. I thought it made the atmosphere welcoming so I am not complaining(SN: They do have an area that you can rent for birthday parties, large group events, sweet sixteens, and etc.). If you are looking for a place to hang with a small group of friends this might be up your alley. I ordered the Fresh Watermelon Slush with boba and ate some of my partner's Famous Popcorn Chicken. I am giving this place 3 stars mainly because of their boba. I feel like I have had better from other places. The watermelon wasn't as sweet as I was hoping but was still decent. The boba itself didn't amaze me. Some of the boba I have had in the past has done well at soaking in the flavor of the drink, but this missed the mark for me. I will say that the Famous Popcorn Chicken was AMAZING! It was fried and seasoned very well. It took them a little while to get it out to us, but I think it was because they were making it fresh. I would order that in a heartbeat and possibly explore some of their other food options next time I'm around. In summary, get the Famous Popcorn Chicken!

I recently got my first job, i decidedto take my cousins out for boba. I order two passionfruit teas and one milk tea. I asked for one passion fruit with zero sugar and another with extra tapioca. I got one thing that I asked for which was the no sugar, but i paid an extra tax for my double tapioca. I waited for over 30 minutes for my drinks, and when i got them I noticed how they were incorrect, or one of them was, so i told them and she told me how they were not going to correct it, even though i paid 30 dollars for it. So i asked, if I could get the extra boba I asked for and they said there is extra boba. I disagreed and said there is barley any tapioca but there is lychee. which I did not order. but she said that their is nothing I could do. And I was not going to sit and argue with her because my train was about to leave. So thank you vivi for the amazing milk tea but terrible service and order.

Only came here for their anniversary specials and probably wouldn't come back unless they have a promotion again. Nope, not being cheap. Their drinks aren't all that to be honest. I'd prefer greentea smoothies at teado over vivis any day. Their kumquat drink taste a little off. Sorta weird. This powdery taste. Milk tea too milky. However, their greentea macarons are soooooooo good! They're shipped from NYC macaron company. Great fine! Hence, 4 stars for their greentea macarons!

I don't know how I managed to live without bubble teA for so long. I always love to follow my dinner with a classic coconut bubble tea with Mango bobba and tapioca bobba. I always wanted to visit the colorful ViVin cafe and it was quite lovely and the bubble tea was delicious. The workers are so nice and take their time with your order and the tea making. If you love a good bubble tea, stop by @vivibubbletea and order a nice colorful with tapioca and mango bobba bubble tea. Trust me it's Bobbalicious

ViVi does the $1.99 promotion at least once a year on selected drinks and food. I would totally recommend taking advantage of this deal for times where you're looking to try a new drink. Also, I would highly suggest getting their popcorn chicken!

I come to this boba shop for their food more than their boba LOL Don't get me wrong, they have good boba for $5, but I'm in love with their popcorn chicken. It's really moist on the inside and their seasoning hits the spot. I recommend the "spicy", but I'm sure the others taste good as well. Also, check out their egg puff waffle thingy! You can have your own mini chicken and waffle hehe.

The drinks here... :× (bad) The egg puff isn't great either. But the popcorn chicken is really really flavorful and juicy!! You can taste the MSG, but lol, it's so good, I guess.

Across the street from Yocha? The audacity... *gasp* Admittedly, there's a difference between the two places in terms of decor and menu. Vivi isn't exactly exuding class. The Metro PCS kiosk makes it feel like I'm in some Chinese food court. However, take the decor away, and you'll find something that's pretty good and legitimate. I went for the lychee slush, which was rather refreshing but maybe too sweet. I'll go for some tea next time. I like the customization of sugar and ice. The days of tolerating iced coffee with way too much ice and not enough coffee are gone. The selection that bumps this to a 4 is the HK egg puff. I've had them in the motherland before and they do a pretty legit job here. The texture is rather authentic, with the outside crispy and inside dense enough to have substance. Prices aren't too bad for items here. There's some wait for drinks and desserts, so expect to spend some time on admiring the decor. But I'd rather be here than Yocha.

Vivi bubble tea Cafe Quincy Changed my life. Lately I don't write a lot of reviews about places around Boston, but today I'll do it because Vivi Café Quincy is literally one of my favorite places in the world. I've used to live in Quincy and I literally took the Hancock St every day, I watched a lot of people walking around with cups in their hands with liquid with bubbles and I didn't knew what kind of beverage was that. Several times I thought I'm going to stop one of those Chinese guys and ask them about those beverages, never did. Then I move from Quincy to another town and I started to learn Chinese language, talking with teachers they talked to me about Bubble Milk tea (珍珠奶茶zhēnzhū naichá) so I decided to try them in Kung Fu Milk Tea and they tasted to me SUPER SWEET, I said to me WTF! What's this Sugar with Milk? No more Bubble Milk tea for me, later talking with teachers about sugar level they thought me to ask my tea with less sugar, so I decided to give another try to zhēnzhū naichá OMG! What I change my mouth discovered a tasty-super yummy new flavor. Since that I need to confess that I have an addiction to Bubble Milk Tea 30% Sugar. So I tried in Vivi bubble tea and I discovered a really nice place to buy and drink tea, people in there is super friendly, I always try to order my drinks/food in Chinese language of course I'm still kind of disaster but the people in there try to help me. I truly can say that Vivi bubble tea changed my life, and the most enjoyable moments of the day are when I'm drinking my bubble tea in Vivi Café. If you haven't try this place before stop wasting more time and order your bubble milk teas as soon as possible!! 谢谢大家 One extra comment you need to act like a great place and remove the 10 USD Credit Card restriction some times is so silly
