Eighty Six Degrees Tea

This place has a unique vibe and concept. Right from the name (Eighty six degree) to the Inside atmosphere, the wall hangings to the music, every detail is so unique and ultra modern. The owner must have had a great taste in furniture and interior design. Just for the place i would come here.
Tucked in right in the entrance of quincy T-​center i expect this place to be busy but it is not so crowded for the location. This place could be very good for hangouts and meets if they advertised a bit more and added the restrooms.
As my pictures speak the inside atmosphere is pretty soothing and relaxing. I always felt like going into some meditation room. The music that plays inside is so soothing and adds to the whole atmosphere.
Coming to the Tea– you can always mix and match to make your own tea. They got different base versions of tea-​black, green and milk that goes with unique flavors. My preference is Just Milk Tea or the sweet jasmine dream with boba.
Coming to the Food– they have only got Chinese creep and egg witch (if i am not wrong) on their menu which probably makes them the first in town. The very spicy version of Chinese creep is good.
Overall a nice place with unique offerings. Good for hangouts.

Personally, I’m a bubble tea fanatic and love trying out new places!
Setting/​Atmosphere: Walking in, I was surprised at such a clean, sleek, open modernized space. There’s plenty of tables up against the wall which made it feel enormous and even a couch with a coffee table, great place to catch up with a friend.
Drinks: The menu was different than most bubble tea joints which stuck out to me. It’s best to ask what’s in the drinks because most are just creatively named. Also I was shocked to find that they didn’t use any powder; I believe it’s all loose leaf teas brewed? Also I love frozen yogurt and they had a bar where you can choose whatever topping you wanted/​how much. It’s a bit unnecessary, but still cool.
Customer Service: I had a blast interacting with the workers, really gave me a good time! Attentive and informative when asked questions, really detailed. Going with another girl friend of mine we enjoyed conversation with them.

Delicious drinks, awesome atmosphere for hanging out, and a friendly staff that seems to genuinely enjoy working there.
I saw that they have some good looking food too… a breakfast crêpe and eggwich that I will be trying some day soon!

The place is clean. Chinese crêpe was a bit better than alright, given the idea of its probably the only one in town.

My friends and I decided to order some drinks for pick up and we all decided that we would get different drinks and different toppings/​jelly so we can see which ones are better. However when my friend went to pick it up he failed to check the drinks which is normal since it’s just a drink right? Boy was I wrong. What we got was the same drink with the different toppings that we picked. Even though during the phone order the person who took my order repeated it back to me so I don’t know what could have happened to make that big of a mistake. I’m willing to give this place another try but it’s a hit or miss I suppose

~3.5.
The ordering process was really strange — it was set up like self-​service frozen yogurt, but it’s not like you would be making your own tea. Also, I could be wrong, but I don’t think the menu specified that boba was included and other toppings would be calculated by weight. Either way, that should be spelled out more clearly.
They also don’t have lids for hot cups that you can put a boba straw through. Seeing as many of their customers probably order hot boba drinks (e.g. me and the people in line before me) they should really look into that, as it’s irritating to walk out and not be able to drink your tea properly… I’ve been to one other place that had lids like that but they had pre-​cut them so that straws could fit through. (They offered to do this for me, which was nice, but they should just have them cut beforehand.)
The stars are for the drink I got, jasmine bubble tea. It was frothy, which I didn’t expect, and the jasmine tea was really nice. I do wish the drink were hotter (especially as I had to open the lid to drink it with the boba straw), but I think it was one of the best boba drinks I’ve had in a while.

I was in town for a business trip from California. Living in SF, I have had a lot of bubble tea. But this place is definitely on the top my list in terms of taste, décor and services! The tea was made from really tea not the tea powder, and you can taste the difference! The décor is modern, clean and cozy which makes it a great place to hangout. The girls work there are also super friendly and helpful. Great place, I hope I will come to MA and visit this place again!

Great tea menu, love the atmosphere, location, and decorations. I would love to come here and do my work while enjoying their delicious tea… BUT! they do not have a public bathroom, which was very disappointing!!!

This is by far my new favorite breakfast place, even for lunch. The baristas are incredibly friendly and make sure your coffee/​tea is as exactly as you want it. They ask if it’s ok, and they always offer you a new drink if you decide it’s not what you wanted. They take absolute pride in their food and beverages. When my friends come to town to visit, I always bring them here because they look forward to the Eggwich & House Special Latte with the winter melon– by far the best latte around and it puts Starbucks to shame. The Eggwich and Crêpe Sandwich are both filling but my friends and I never feel TOO full because it’s made with quality ingredients, including the crispy dough which is my favorite and I always ask for extra. Glad I found a breakfast spot that isn’t the traditional high calorie greasy American cuisine! Definitely try this place!

Super clean, great concept with the DIY tea toppings. Reminds me of Cali.
They have the typical tea selection, black, green, milk tea with different flavors. Not much of a selection compare to other tea places but their idea of DIY topping does make them stand out from the rest.
I love the ambience, very sophisticated. A great place to catch up with a friend. The staff was very friendly and knowledge when it comes to which tea flavor to choose from. I also tried the 86 spicy crêpe, which was different. But I enjoyed it.

Try the jian bing! It is such a delicious, filling meal and it is so much better than anything you could pick up from Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! I loved being able to add kimchi to my order and this kept me full all the way until dinnertime. Thanks so much, ESD!

Amazing egg-​wich and Chinese crêpe!!! I have tried both! Absolutely authentic and delicious!

Suddenly jasmine is my favorite so far. Some drinks are a hit or miss… Some are good and some are very bland or tongue drying which makes me scared to try new ones.
Bubble tea place has a good concept where there are a variety of toppings and toppings are weighed

Keep in mind I haven’t been to any other tea places. When I first entered this fantastic establishment, I didn’t know what to think. I haven’t been to many other places of this type and I don’t have much opinion to go off of. The bottom line is, in my opinion, this place is great. Located a minutes walk from Quincy College, I can walk right across the street and grab a nice, refreshing tea of which they have a variety of rich flavors. The best part is that they are open fairly early. 7 AM on weekdays and 9 AM on weekends. That’s a major selling point for me as my first class is at 8 AM. The interior is a very modern style small café with wooden furnature and a small leather couch that ties the room together perfectly along with the electronic menu monitors and open line-​style counter. All in all, if you are looking for a nice tea for the day, I recommend this place.

Everybody I knew said 86 was better than Vivi Bubble Tea which is down the street in North Quincy. I’ve been a fan of Vivi so I had to give this place a chance. The lollicup that had taken its space previously was okay and had really awful service so I wasn’t sure about this place, however…
ITS DELICIOUS. The dragonwell tea and matcha story were very yummy but had a little bit too much milk in it (note to self: ask for less milk). What really wowed me, and will the be #1 reason why I will be returning is for THE CREPE. The delicious chinese crêpe with the crispy dough, the ham slice, and egg with the addition of blended spices make the crêpe oh so irresistibly yummy and nothing like what I’ve had before. Its’ not soggy like a Freshens’ crêpe, Its’ not premade, and it is definitely not sweet. Its’ an awesome delicious bundle of savory crisp and if you like spicy, kimchi deliciousness.
As for CUSTOMER SERVICE, they’re extra friendly and willing to explain to you anything you don’t understand from the menu. They are extremely patient and willing to help.
For Vivi Fans, Let me just say, its not like Vivi. Vivi and 86 is like Dunkies and Starbucks. Vivi serves a huge variety of frozen drinks, 86 does not. Vivi has snacks, 86 only has savory crepes and eggwiches. They’re two separate things, they’re both good food/​drinks, its’ just what you’re in the mood for. If you’re going for milk tea only, go to 86 because its the real deal. If you’re looking for fru-​fru frozen drinks, go to Vivi.

Tried this place today on my way home. It’s right by the T so that’s convenient. I tried the Honey Dragon Green Tea with peach popping add on. It was really refreshing and I was able to get it just a tad sweet, which was perfect. You can customize your drinks to get them however you like. Didn’t try the milk teas but I am interested in trying some when I come back. They had a lot of unique flavors that I haven’t seen at other bubble tea places.
I also tried the Chinese crêpe, spicy, and it was delish! I would totally grab one for breakfast on my way to work. It would be a good alternative to my usual bagel sandwich from Gunther Tooties.
The staff is extremely nice and the atmosphere is very clean and hip. Not sure how well this place will do as I’m not sure this will cater to the crowd in the area… But I hope more cute places like this start popping up in Quincy Center!

Their bubble tea is pretty authentic! I absolutely love the concept of this place. Just when I was losing hope for some good bubble tea, this shop opens up! I love how there are so many options for the bubble tea flavors — ranging from oolong to matcha. They also have a lot of options for toppings and syrups. The toppings are priced by weight. The décor of the shop is really modern and really clean. I love it! I ended up ordering the Tell-​Tale Oolong with grass jelly. It was so yummy! I also ordered the Chinese crêpe which was pretty interesting. There is a spicy and non-​spicy option. I highly recommend it. They also do this thing where you get a free T-​shirt if you spend $ 15. After ordering two drinks and a Chinese crêpe, our total came out to be around $ 15.38 so heck yes, we got the t-​shirt! I cannot wait to be back. Also for people takes the T a lot, this is located right outside Quincy Center so it is really accessible!

Located conveniently right outside of Quincy Center station, 86 Degrees has a varied menu of teas that are sure to quench any thirst whether is be winter or in the blazing summer heat. I have several present places that I go for bubble tea, so I went here a few weeks ago, hence the belated review. The teas are just so so. I dont think there is anything special about it .
Honestly, the first time i went in I literally walked right out. The interior is nice and it is clean, but aside from that, which comes from a new restaurant, its not on par as some other teas. I generally just come for the crepes which are very good.

Boston has a lot bubble tea places lately so I thought what makes this place so different. Getting here was a bit difficult and there’s only street parking, but it’s really close to the red line T-​stop.
I asked for their suggestion in bubble tea flavors and Barley Tea was suggested to me. It was really good and unique! It was a lot like the tea they serve in Kaju Tofu house but in bubble tea format. The only complaint is that their bubbles are a bit on the harder side and they give less bubbles than other places.
I do have to say I like this place and will come back to try the other flavors and Chinese Crêpe! I really like the concept of Eighty Six Degrees where 86 degrees is the temperature that tea should be at. Will come back :)

Their Chinese crêpe is the bomb! The milk teas are the best I have ever had! You can tell they used real quality tea and milk instead of the powder stuff everyone else uses. The fruity iced drinks are super refreshing and flavorful. My favorite one is probably the grapefruit one which has fresh grapefruit peel in it. They also have a toppings station which has all kinds of jelly and boba that could be added to pretty much any drink. This place is such a great addition to the neighborhood! Highly recommended!
