Boba in the engineering center as you might expect. Fairly extensive menu and they do have varied sweetness and ice levels. A step up from boba on Euclid Ave but not top of the line and the price reflects that. Usually not much of a wait. Note that if classes are not in session the location is closed

Great boba tea choices. Removed a star because they don't have warm/ hot options for the tea

Sooooo good!!! I loved my tea and even more so, that they provide so many options to customize without making you feel bad for having preferences! They build choices that you don’t even realize that you have right into the menu! Prices were very reasonable but I did wander a bit to find it. Second floor in the center of the building you will find it, it’s actually outside in a little opening they have with seating. I’ll definitely be back!

Typical raretea boba place if you've been to the ones on telegraph but minus a few drinks Drinks: they seem to have a majority of the drinks here but I believe they were missing some smoothies? Also, they have a watermelon drink here that I haven't seen before inside the Eshleman TeaOne. I highly recommend the caramelized boba milk tea if you're craving something super sweet or taro milk tea. Overall, good boba and tea consistency across all stores Ambience: this teaones is located in Cory courtyard which is on the 2nd floor. Take the stairs or elevator up to the 2nd floor and it should be slightly to the right when coming out of the elevator Service: chill and overall pretty friendly and quick

Average boba in a very convenient location. Not much more to say, there are like three of these around.

Quick Summary: - Shorter lines (we arrived at 1pm) - Maybe fewer choices? Noticed some flavors were sold out - Quiet ambiance with areas to sit down and relax A few months ago, I visited the campus and noticed everyone carried a boba bottle that I didn't recognize. After staring at some people passing by I was able to figure out the new cafe place: TeaOne. I went to an event held at Berkeley, and since it was a hot day, we decided to have a drink at TeaOne. My relative knew the closest one at North Side Gate, so we went to the one hidden in a courtyard in the university. Very secluded and lines are shorter. Also, it could be because of the location, but some of their flavors were sold out. I wonder if it's because they're harder to stock up? I wanted to try something new, despite the fact that it was my first time here, so I requested the coffee jelly. Unfortunately, they told me that they were out of it. A similar occurrence happened with my sibling, who needed to change two things in her order to get the one she wanted. I forgot to customize the sweetness, but that wasn't needed. It was good amount of sweetness, so it wasn't overpowering. The boba pearls were soft too!

Tastes good and the workers are so friendly! Drinks are always made super quickly :) My favorite boba place!

I have nothing against TeaOne in general: you can't go wrong with their boba, which are always at least average, but not exactly special (and therefore on the verge of being a little overpriced). My problem with this specific location is that upon my first visit, I made the mistake of paying with cash. My boba total to $4.25, and I gave them $5. The cashier asked me if I have a quarter, and I apologized for not having one. Instead of just giving me change, he decided to comment that, "You know, we are not a bank here, and it's hard to find change, so it's really selfish of you to take all of our change," as he proceeds to open his register full of pennies and dimes and quarters. To be fair, the second time I visit, I was spared from snappy comments -- also mostly because I fought my rebellious instincts to just pay in cash there from now on and used a credit card -- but it still really takes away from the experience.

TL;DR boba on northside of campus This TeaOne is located on campus, right in Cory Hall's courtyard. Prefect if you spend a lot of time on this part of campus. They have their standard menu here, along with some snacks, which I believe were Costco muffins. They now have reusable bottles that cost an extra dollar.
I'm writing this review accompanied by the cacophonous symphony of gurgling sounds that my stomach is making, thanks to the Matcha Latte with almond milk--at least, what I had THOUGHT was almond milk--that I had earlier today at TeaOne. You see, I am lactose sensitive, so I made sure to confirm that the drink I wanted had a milk substitute option, and I ordered almond milk in my Matcha Latte. When I got my drink and took the first few sips, I was surprised to not detect that distinctive almond milk taste. I thought maybe this was a different brand of almond milk that I had not tried, so I went ahead and finished my drink. Over four hours later, I am in SO MUCH DISCOMFORT. I am almost certain that almond milk was not used in my drink ("almost" certain because I want to give this place benefit of doubt). Not to mention, the Matcha Latte had an overpoweringly bitter matcha taste. I love the bitterness of matcha, but it was way too concentrated in my drink. I'm probably going to be up late tonight cursing my delicate gastrointestinal tract and my wretched Matcha Latte. Thanks, TeaOne!

Convenient place to get boba on northside (with Ucha, Sharetea, Teaone, sweetheart on southside and Asha downtown). It's a little hard to find if you're not familiar with the campus. Have to go into Cory hall and walk up to the second floor mezzanine. The signs aren't very helpful. I like the Jasmine Green Tea with boba - it Has a strong tea aroma and is very refreshing. It's only $2.75 + topping. They accept five star rewards here too.

Boba on campus? Yes please count me in! This boba shop is tucked inside Cory Hall inside the courtyard so it's a good place to grab a small bit and boba and hang out to play board games or study. Most of the time I've been in it has been really quiet or people are just grabbing drinks to go. I like their selection of drinks and how friendly the staff are. The boba quality is 90th percentile in my opinion, definitely high up in terms of the chewiness and flavor. My favorite is the jade mojitea and the hojicha milk tea. I find that their drinks like most places are a bit oversweetened unless you wait for the ice to melt so getting it less sweet is usually the way to go. I think their food selection could be better, but the storefront is pretty small. Solid place and best place for boba on Northside.

I love that they open at 9AM. It is a perfect pickmeup in the morning instead of coffee. I have tried four other tea cafes now and this one is the best honestly.

Been here twice. Both times paid $4 for iced coffee with boba. Both times received (sub-par) coffee, without boba.
