Amazing boba and fruit tea! This tea shop has an amazing variety, with each drink fresh and delicious. Their service was welcoming, really nice, and helpful if you aren't sure what to get. I also like their cozy and modern ambiance! I love getting their mango pomelo sago, their watermelon coconut, or their Earl Grey latte with boba. Overall, my favorite boba shop and I highly recommend it!

This shop is by far the best fruit tea spot in all of boston and is in the heart of Newbury street! The store is clean, bright, and the staff is amazing. Definitely recommend! Also, the owners are a young couple, which is a fresh change from your typical corporate stores!

Best boba on the block! You can tell the fruit is fresh. Got the mango passion fruit tea, so delicious

My friend and I were in the area and in the mood for boba, and this spot popped up in the search. We went in and ordered from the self-ordering kiosks, and our drinks were ready after a few minutes. She got the brown sugar milk tea while I got the strawberry milk tea ($6). Boba is an additional $1 and is mini sized but still a nice chewy texture. Our drinks were flavorful and still fairly sweet even at 50% sweetness. There were a few tables inside for small groups up to 3 people. Overall a decent boba shop to check out if you're in the area!

Really lovely! Got the wintermelon black tea latte and it was so good. Also I like that they have the option to order by kiosk! Makes all the drink customization very simple.

Yi Fang is a great place to get a refreshing drink on Newbury Street. This tea shop is located close to the Boston Public Library and the Copley Green Line T Station. It's super easy to find and has space in the back for seating small groups. Inside, there's 2 places to order. There's a kiosk as well as an option to order with the barista. The full menu is located in an inconvenient location and the shop is set-up so when it gets crowded, it's a little uncomfortable to wait for your boba or tea to get ready. However, the Peach Fruit Tea I ordered hit the spot and had fresh peach chunks which elevated the flavor. I'd definitely go back for pick-up to try something else on the menu.

Having had my first Yi Fang experience in Taipei, I had high hopes when it came to Boston. I might be biased, but of all the tea shops in the city, Yi Fang ranks the highest when it comes to fruit tea. Every drink I've ordered from here is refreshing and never too sweet.The space is bright and has a modern, yet comfortable vibe. I've been on a crowded winter day when the store felt too warm and stuffy, but today when I came on a random Friday around noon, it was completely empty. There's a little more seating down the hall, as well as a bathroom.Their drinks are a little expensive, but always enjoyable. Today I tried the Peach Black Tea with green tea jelly and 50% sugar. I also really enjoy their egg waffles as an extra little treat.I usually try to avoid coming to Newbury, but getting tea from Yi Fang makes it all worth it.

Eh. I went to a better Yi Fang while I was in SF, but this one was kind of disappointing. Strawberry milk tea (7/10): didn't really have that strawberry flavor come through. I watched them make it and it seemed like they added a decent amount of puree to create the smoothie blend, but it just wasn't there. I liked the sago in it though, which was a nice touch. It has a nice color for pictures. Earl grey milk tea (5/10): this was incredibly disappointing??? It was really watered down, didn't have the earl grey taste at all. It also tasted really gingery, which was surprising, but I'm not sure if that came from the grass jelly or not. It wasn't unwelcomed, but the rest of the drink was just eh. Service was incredibly slow. I'm not sure why I waited 20 minutes for two drinks when the place wasn't that busy until 20 minutes after I had arrived (it started pouring outside and people started filtering in). There was one person making the drinks, not sure what the other person was doing since you order on machines. Some areas to sit towards the back, probably not enough to fit a large group of people. Would probably not come back for milk tea, I'd try their fruit tea boba next time if I do come back.

Good for the tea plus bubble waffle cakes on Newbury street. Like that they are upstairs and take care in making the drinks. Can see then squeezing fresh oranges for the drinks

Only give 3 pancakes instead of 5 on a $10 egg pancakes. Called the store, the bad and curt attitude was beyond frustrating. Their response was just as short and unhelpful and no solution, keep repeating "I don't know why there is only 3" ???Seriously, how hard is it to get an order right? Train your staffs and teach them how to be nice and how to treat customers. Won't be wasting my time or money here again.
