Phenomenal service, tasty drinks (love the Thai tea with honey boba), and great ambiance! Not a ton of seating, but a great study spot.

I ordered the strawberry colada smoothie with boba which tends to have the boba stuck at the bottom. This led to me shaking it to mix it up like most other boba places but the lid came loose and the drink spilled everywhere. The customer service was the best.
They offered to remake the drink and gave me plenty of things to help clean myself up as well as make the situation better as a whole. Best drinks in boba as well by far. Will continue coming here for the rest of my time here at Berkeley!

Tasty boba but it’s on the pricier side in Berkeley. When I went they had free samples

Ordered 50% sweet, drink was sweeter than safeway sugar cookies. Urgh… $8 down the drain.

The staff here are so nice and the drinks are so creamy and sweet and with good variety. I tend to get drinks here as a treat for a bad day and even though I order online the staff is incredibly kind and still quick with the order.

Title: Avoid Teaspoon's Black Sugar Assam at All CostsI recently had the misfortune of trying Teaspoon's Black Sugar Assam boba tea, and let me tell you, it was an experience I wish I could forget. From the first sip to the last, all I could taste was bitterness and disgust.First off, let's talk about the black sugar aspect. I expected a subtle sweetness that would complement the rich flavor of the Assam tea. Instead, what I got was an overwhelming, cloying sweetness that masked any semblance of tea flavor. It felt like I was drinking pure syrup with a hint of burnt sugar.And speaking of the tea, the Assam itself was atrocious. It was so bitter that it made my taste buds recoil in horror. I couldn't even finish half of the drink before giving up in defeat. It was like they brewed the tea with burnt charcoal instead of water.To add insult to injury, the boba pearls were abysmal. They were overly chewy and had a strange, artificial aftertaste that lingered unpleasantly in my mouth long after I had disposed of the drink.Overall, Teaspoon's Black Sugar Assam was a complete disaster. It's rare that I encounter a drink so vile that I feel compelled to warn others away, but this is one of those instances. Save your money and your taste buds by avoiding this abomination of a boba tea at all costs.

Order 25% sweet and the drink is sugar water. Bad quality and basically undrinkable.Not too mention it’s extremely overpriced! A basic boba milktea near $9. Does it look like people get their money for free?

Great service and tasty drinks. Place is a little cramped so expect to get boba and leave. The default sugar level is too high in my opinion. Boba pearls are well made.

Such a great experience coming to the new Teaspoon in Berkeley. The staff was polite, the store was clean and the drinks were fantastic. I had the House Milk Tea with Honey Boba. Delicious. I met the Manager who's name is Jennifer, she has the best customer service from any establishment I have ever been too. I will be returning to this location

Tiny cafe with two tables for sitting. Good sz drink menu. But very limited dessert options-the display was probably 10% stocked, probably because we went on a Wednesday.Taro milk- disappointed the taro flavor is powdered base. I assumed I would be receiving a drink with taro flavor from the natural purée since it was a choice of topping. And also, the menu showed a white liquid, which would be the milk, and a lt purple paste, which would be the taro purée. However, my drink came out entirely purple bc it is artificial powder flavoring. Not delicious!!Strawberry piña colada slush- the better drink of the three we ordered. Except they did not fill it to the top before sealing up the drink.Oreo iced coffee- very strong coffee taste and a little sprinkle of Oreo cookie crumb at the btm of the cup.Tip- check in on Yelp for a 5% discount. We forgot to use it and was unable to apply the discount after completing a purchase.Final Verdict- very mediocre, I mostly likely won’t be returning.
