LimeRed Tea House

I haven't been to LimeRed in ages, so coming back was really nice. The place is sadly not as busy at is used to be. Boba was chewy and the flavors still hold up from what I remember. The place is also transit accessible, just across the street from the Green Line B Branch Station at Packards Corner and 2 blocks from Babcock Street. There are near-adjacent stops for the 57 bus as well. Transit accessibility for LimeRed is really good.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience was disappointing. The woman working the counter clearly didn’t want to be there, monotone, unfriendly, and zero effort in customer service. When we picked up our order, she tossed our waffle onto the counter instead of handing it to us. The boba itself was fine, but the service completely ruined the visit. Definitely not coming back unless they improve their staff’s attitude.

Drinks were ok. What got me here writing was the service or lack there of. Stopped in for a quick pick me up and was greeted with a monotone I hate my job woman who got our order wrong and when confronted, said if we wanted tea it’s a dollar more. Yes ma’am we wanted tea and ordered tea. If unclear, simply ask or speak, perhaps even repeating an order would be good standard business practice. Will not return. We were there, Saturday 6/14 around 3pm. Cheers ✌️ A typical owner’s response to a bad review is blame the customer. Brown sugar milk tea was what was ordered, it isn’t a customer’s job to review how that is entered into your system. Take business accountability, your service just sucked and there’s plenty of room to improve upon it.

LimeRed Teahouse is a small cafe located right outside of the BU campus, with a wide range of desserts and drinks to try out. The staff are pretty welcoming, able to cater to most requests and are able to explain any recommendations to new customers. They make the drinks pretty quick and kept us informed throughout the process. We typically come here to get Bubble Waffles with Ice cream, which does take a little time to make, but the batter used is light and fluffy and goes well with the ice cream they serve. They also have macarons here, which are pretty standard. The teas are good, some of them don't have as strong as a flavor as they should but overall is pretty good. Definitely a good place to study or just to hang out while in the area.

Awesome Boba Tea spot in a very convenient location. Extensive selection of different teas & I also appreciate the Tablet where you can place your order without having to wait on anyone. The shop was very clean & service was great. The matcha orange tea was for me personally really good as I got it with no sugar it still tasted great. The passion fruit tea was also good. The best part was the Honeycomb waffle ice cream, just a great dessert to have on a warm summer day. Wish they would have more ice cream selections like chocolate or green tea as That would be just right...overall would go again & again.
