Abigail's Tea Room
306 Congress St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Abigail's Tea Room is a charming historical spot where you can taste the very teas that sparked the Boston Tea Party, complete with period-dressed staff who make you feel transported in time. Beyond the clever concept, this is genuinely a tea lover's haven offering affordable tasting flights of five different varieties for under five dollars, with options to upgrade to a souvenir ceramic cup or full teapot experience. The unhurried, welcoming atmosphere makes it perfect for lingering over a leisurely afternoon, whether you're a tourist seeking authentic Boston history or a serious tea enthusiast looking for quality leaf and genuine hospitality.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
