On the first visit, I had the Rose Jasmine tea. It was the best cup of tea I've ever had. It hit perfectly on a rainy day and my only suggestion for improvement on that day would have been a better choice of music.
Revisited:I got the same drink on my second visit and it didn't hit quite the same. It was lukewarm and had an off (kind of burnt) taste, like drinking dish soap. The atmosphere is still great. The one-woman show is quite busy preparing to-go orders, all of them cold drinks with vibrant colorways; I commend her for that. I don't think I'll be back around the way for some time but if I do find myself in Packard's corner soon, I'd love to try one of those colder drinks that she's selling like hotcakes so that I can update my review. The jury is still out.
Phenomenal boba place with drinks that aren't too sweet (for the best). They also don't go overboard on the ice, which I was thankful for. I got the Red Bean Milk Tea because I was curious to taste that combination. They definitely delivered. I think it had to be of my favorite boba orders.
Another person in our party had gotten the passionfruit tea, which I found pretty bitter. I would definitely try out different items on the menu though.

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.
LimeRed has my favorite drinks in town, I love the fresh fruit bc I don’t have to add sugar. But! it isn’t handmade boba. If they ever upgrade to that (and maybe drop the prices in the baked goods section), it’s 5 stars for me. The staff is always sweet, but I wonder if they’re paid enough, because the staff is always rotating (and I come in a lot). Atmosphere is cute.
This is definitely one of my most favorite bubble teas shop to go with friends or even just going there for date. I love it that they use fresh fruits to make their fresh fruits bubble tea. My favorite one is grapefruit bubble and matcha orange with aloe. Definitely try the oat milk latte, it's absolutely best latte I never had anywhere else and the milk texture that staff makes is perfect the way I like. Limered desert is amazing especially matcha tiramisu which is always made freshly at the store. I love it when there is variety option flavors of maroons which you can get it a box of flavors and give as a gift.

Ordered the brown sugar milk boba & it was perfect! The sweetness was not too overpowering sometimes I usually get a headache if it is but it was just the right balance. A huge plus because the straws weren’t actually plastic but they were biodegradable straws!
LimeRed is my go-to place for milk tea! Their flavors are great and I'm working my way through ones I haven't tried yet. My new favorite is the Thai Milk Tea. Boba is flavorful and has a nice chew. They offer almond and oat milk. They also have honeycomb waffle sundaes and other fun sweet like mochi muffins, matcha tiramisu, and flourless chocolate cake. Pictures are Thai and Taro milk teas. Highly recommend!
Lovely peaceful little place away from the chaos of BU campus. Matcha is delicious! Definitely a cut above the usual. Macarons are VERY good, perfect texture, but expensive at $3 per each. Excited to come back and try the waffles!
I wanted to give this place a 4 star because there's practically no place to sit because EVERY TABLE IS TAKEN BY PEOPLE STUDYING.
but after thinking. this place offers great quality drink and food. ambiance is cozy and comfy. chairs are modern and fresh.
I tried the wafflegato and milktea with bubbles. definitely worth my detour to come here.
I recommend everyone to come here.
Tried LimeRed Teahouse after having dinner nearby for dessert and my party left impressed.
During my visit my party and I tried the egg waffle with machata ice cream and had the Thai Iced Tea, Lychee Jasmine Tea, and the Peach Oolong. Everything had just the right amount of sweetness, nothing too overwhelming. Everyone was happy with what they had.
The place is very laid back, great for casual conversation, or studying, which I observed during my visit. My party and I would definitely come back.
