Hidden in a shopping center on off of California Ave, it's a cute little boba place that makes you feel like you're sitting at your kitchen table! Right amount of sweetness in the Taro smoothie with a good amount of boba. Prices are do-able. Why wouldn't you get upgrade to a large for 75cents more? read more

We drove all the way across town to get tea at 6pm, they were already closed and refused to open. The employee just stood there mouthing the word "closed" while cleaning a glass. Not coming here again. Thumbs down, boooo. read more

They're posted hour and actual operational hours are completely different I walk in at 6 pm on a Thursday and got told they aren't serving drinks anymore... but the biggest issue this my third time IN A ROW trying to get boba from them and they be close early for some reason. Genuinely very upsetting because I enjoy this place read more

I ordered a 24 oz hot Thai Green & the hot drinks are an extra dollar. No big deal, but when I opened my drink, my cup was not filled. So this was very disappointing. It'll probably be the first and last time I order a hot drink here.. other than that, it did taste good. Very much on the sweeter side. read more

Customer service and drinks were amazing!!! But can that employee get some help?!? We arrived around 2ish We were not in a hurry so we didn't mind waiting for our drinks for almost an hour.. but the employee had plenty of customers with large orders in the store, he had to make the orders himself, on too of having to do the dishes as there were plenty of orders prior to us. The employee was clearly overwhelmed as one family requested a refund after waiting over 30 minutes for their order as well. So Business owner... please give your awesome employee some help!! Before they end up quitting. read more

1,2, Tea is located in the same shopping center as CVS with plenty of parking. My husband and I came by here on a Friday around 5 pm. The place was busy with teens sitting with their friends and drinking their beverages (there is a high school nearby). But there was no line to order at the register. After looking over the register, we ended up ordering: Hokkaido Milk Tea, Large, $5.25 prior to tax- I ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 50% sweetener. The drink was absolutely disgusting with how sweet this drink was, in addition to it being a bit gritty at the bottom, which tells me my drink was made with powder and not well dissolved. When I got back to my hotel, I added a large amount of tea to a small amount of this drink and it was still very sweet. It makes me wonder what the regular amount of sugar would taste like if I had not requested for half sweetness. Honey Dew Milk Tea, Large, $5.25 prior to tax- My husband also ordered his drink to be made with 50% sweetener and no ice. Just like mine, this drink was way too sweet and also gritty. Just like me, he also added a large amount of tea to his drink and it still was too sweet. My husband did not like his drink either. --------------------- (Total= $11.37 after tax) Wait time for our drinks was only 5 minutes. Service was friendly. The drinks were so horrible and maybe one of the worse drinks I've ever had. We both ended up throwing our drinks away and would never come back here if we lived in the area. read more

TL DR: Theres been a decline in quality. Drinks are sometimes too sweet or bland. Boba was not cooked well. The building was super cold. Not sure if it was an off day. Service: You're greeted by friendly employees as soon as you walk in. I went with some friends and some of them had questions/ needed recommendations. We all agreed the service was great. 5/5 Ambiance: larger than some other locations. There appeared to be some board games. It would probably be difficult to seat a party of more than 6. The decor is bright & filled with cute/kawaii items. Most importantly, the establishment looked clean. The building itself however was really really cold. I had to wear my winter coat the entire time I was drinking my tea. 3/5 The milk teas and boba: pictured in the background is a jasmine milk tea with boba. The tea was really sweet, the boba was super bland, and the boba was over cooked. The texture seemed off and was really mushy. 3/5 The taro milk tea was ordered without boba and this tea was way too sweet. I couldn't taste the taro flavor. I've enjoyed boba from this establishment before so I'm not sure what happened. To be fair it might be worthwhile to order these drinks at 25% or reduced sweetness. 3.5/5 The price is competitive with other boba establishments in Reno. Again I like giving businesses other opportunities to redeem themselves so I'll post an update when I go back but this was not my favorite boba experience. read more

Drinks are very good but the service is ridiculously slow. We waited 40 minutes for two boba teas. They need more than one person at the counter. Kid was going his best but he needs help! read more

Their posted hours say they close at 8 PM, so I drove from North Valleys and arrived at 7:15 PM. The employee was already leaving and told me they were closing early due to weather, despite there being no weather issue at all. If they're going to close early, they should communicate it -- online or with signage -- instead of wasting customers' time. Disappointed in the lack of customer service and reliability. read more

Ok, okay Zephyr I like it! I'm not really big on Boba, but great customer service along with a refreshing drink go well together. Initially my wife came in to order and I'm always like, "whatever you want hon, I'm good", but this time Zephyr our barista in an air of wit and charm would not only crack a honey dew joke to make us smile, but offer me a drink made specially for me and said if I didn't like it, would offer me a new drink on the house. I liked it and Zephyr I like your style. Thank you for making us some great drinks on a rainy day! We appreciate you! read more

I wasn't even looking for tea but was getting gas in the same shipping center, saw the name and thought I'd check it out. I was pleasantly surprised at the adorable decor. It was very cute. They have a wall of games if you'd like to sit in Stay Awhile and play some games with friends the menu is quite extensive they even have food from fries to calamari to wings. I was surprised about that as well. I chose to just get a mango peach tea to try for my first time it's very good, the girl behind the counter seemed sweet. Service was fine. I will be back soon to try more. read more

I am not usually one to choose tea over coffee, so this is not a place I would normally go. But one day I had some time while I washed clothes at the laundry mat next door, so I decided to see what all the Boba tea rage is about. And boy am I so glad I made my way in! I had a lot of questions about flavors, and the young guys working answered them all and made recommendations based on my taste. I sampled the boba.... Not a fan! But then they recommended mango stars instead. SO YUMMY! And the hibiscus tea was a delicious and sweet flavor! I will be back in for sure! read more

I visited this place since they offered a discount for lyft drivers. I needed to find more places to get boba anyways. My first visit was way before social distancing took effect. The guy making the drinks was very friendly. Not only were the drinks great tasting, the different types of boba i've tried were delicious as well. Offering a stamp card helps as well, the other bubble tea places don't even have them. read more

1, 2, TEA, this is definitely not for ME. My friend took me here on a boba run after a day of being out in town. I love my boba and having consumed it all my life, I find myself able to tell when the quality of the tea and toppings here are of good quality. Sadly, this spot is just another standard shop that reminds of those chain restaurants. I ordered their Assam Black Milk Tea and it tasted extremely watered down. There was a lack of flavor in the milk tea that made it difficult to finish. Additionally, my boba was incredibly hard so chewing on that while sipping on poor quality tea made this experience quite disappointing. While I enjoyed the interior of the shop and the cute succulents it had on its shelves, the quality of the boba was not there and I can't recommend it unless you're closeby and need a place to chill. read more

Love the quality of their drinks and how it tastes spot on every time! The girls in there are as friendly as they can be with only having 1-2 workers in there daily. That would be the only downfall is they are typically busy with only one worker in there busting her butt off! Otherwise appreciate and love y'all's drinks and tea shop! read more

Yelp! kept suggesting this place and was finally able to sample a boba Smoothie drink while we ate at Ijji next door. I got the taro smoothie with boba pearls while the niece got an Oreo shake, and both drinks were positively yummy! A nice, refreshing change from the usual drinks of choice: soda. We will definitely need to visit this place again. read more

Nice bubble tea place! Was a bit hard to find because it wasn't near any highways, but the inside of the bubble tea store is actually very nicely decorated, and very clean! The drinks were served sweet, and cold, which was nice. Very authentic taste. Lots of tables inside for friends to sit, chat, and play board games. There was a lot of other customers there when we went in the afternoon. Overall, a nice bubble tea place. read more

As someone who doesn't drink coffee it is so refreshing to find places that cater to tea drinkers, this is one is my top pick for a late afternoon iced treat. I love the Almond Cherry milk tea with Lychee popping boba and my husband has nothing but good things to say about the Okinawa milk tea. I also can't deny that I'm a sucker for appetizer and the fact that I can get Gyoza and mozzarella sticks at the same place and they're both cooked well is a total win in my book! We will be stopping by again soon on our way home from work. read more

Sunday morning and there was one person worked. Everything took long time until another person in the back came and helped.. still took them a long time to make drinks. We had mangonada which was alright but passion fruit tea was terrible. Lack of sweetness and tasted so bland. The shop interior design is a bit over the top but it's cute though. They also have lot of tables for you to stay and hangout. read more

This place has the most disgusting bathroom that I've EVER been in! It's so gross! There is literally shit splatted everywhere! There is urine everywhere! And this isn't the kind of mess done in one day either!

Boba may be new to Reno, but not new to me. In LA, there is a shop on every corner. This is a clean friendly place. Hoan, Steven are super nice. They stay open late on Fridays and Saturdays until Midnight! So "Party on Wayne." Love the menu and Love the snacks: Butterfly Shrimp and Chicken Wings? "Cut it out!" Their special is Crystal Boba! Little pear and ittle Vanilla taste; chewy!They want it to be a hang out spot, so come hang! Tried the Thai Tea hot, where has this been all my life. read more

Stopped by here with the wife for a quick snack and some tea. We were both apprised about how good the potstickers and gyoza were. They were fresh and crispy! Both of the teas were delicious. My wife had almond cherry and I had the Okinawa. I love that you can customize all of the drinks with add-ons to fit your taste. The tea is quality and the drinks are well balanced and not overly sweet. Can't wait to swing by again. read more

I love love LOVE this boba tea place! This is my only favorite place to grab boba because the quality of their taste is similar to the Bay Area and which they are so that's cool. But I also want to add that whenever I go here, the staff are super friendly (met the owners and they're super nice) and just a rustic, chill place to go study, hangout with friends, play games, etc. I believe they do karaoke night on Fridays? Never attended one but heard from my cousins that it's really fun! I go here A LOT and never had bad service/experience so come check this place out if you haven't so. read more

Nice place to have a boba break and hang out. The cutest decor. Nice friendly service. Comfy, clean, welcoming atmosphere. We were a party of five, and everyone seemed to love their boba. Mine, Matcha Milk Tea, seemed a bit watery as everyone mentions in the reviews, but then I never get milk tea -- this is the first try (because it's a non-dairy), so I have nothing to compare this to. I love the fact that they made it less sweet according to my request. Son had a coconut tea with strawberry pop boba, and he loved it. He is a boba aficionado so there. read more

I was pretty excited to spot this boba place after a run at Dollar Tree. I was already out for couple of hours running errands and I figure what a great way to end my task list with a boba drink! Came in on 2/19 at 5PM and there were seven people ahead of me and two people working the counter. I can't remember what my drink is called but it was green tea, blueberry, and milk tea. My boyfriend had the black sugar milk tea. The wait time was RIDICULOUS!!! After 10 minutes of waiting, I ponder if I should have just gone straight home after a long day of errands and I kept looking around to see what is taking so long. Then 20 minutes passed and the group of four ahead of me still haven't received their drinks. At this point I wondered how long have they been waiting. Then 30 minutes rolled in and still no drinks. FINALLY, after 43 minutes, my name was called and my two drinks were handed to me. There was no mention of my wait time nor apology either. The shop is cute, but it was my first time at that store and after waiting almost an hour for two drinks and it wasn't even that busy then I'm not sure I'll be back. My drink was good but nothing to rave about. And my boyfriend said his drink was "Meh..." and mentioned that a same drink from another boba shop was 10X better. read more

I would have given 5 stars to this place last year, but the drinks are kinda watered down the last time on my last visit, which was a few days ago. The young man behind the counter worked by himself, making all the drinks. He has excellent customer service skills, but the drinks are weak. I ordered an Assam Milk Tea with less sugar and boba. The boba was flavorless, the tea watered down. Although the menu doesn't mention sugar and ice levels, the guy allowed for adjustments. Ambiance: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Drinks: 4/5 Boba Balls: 1/5 I will continue to visit this place whenever I am in Reno, but I just won't add boba balls. (They don't have many boba shops in Reno/Sparks). read more

THIS IS THE BEST BOBA PLACE IN RENO/SPARKS. I have gone to literally all of the other ones and no where else comes anywhere near close the full package 1,2 tea is . Their drinks are ALWAYS delicious and perfectly made not to mention they have such a great variety and constantly doing specials. Tons of parking because it's in a shopping center Pre covid they'd have all kinds of events: karaoke, tea pong tournaments, and game nights! They genuinely love all their customers- Their level of service is always top notch. They've clearly not only hired a fantastic team but also have great management Their social media is a lot of fun to interact with. Their prices are totally comparable to all other tea places and they have a stamp card. Their ingredients are fresh and flavors are delicious. read more

Got some boba while eating at the noodle house next door and it was delicious! I opted out of boba this time as I was planning to eat a big meal that day, and so I settled for a wintermelon fruit tea. This fruit tea was delicious!

I'm really surprised Reno had any boba at all, much less an ~aesthetic~ boba place LOL. We found this place on Yelp because of the cute photos and the stellar reviews. After adventuring around downtown Reno for the weekend, I was curious to see what Reno had to offer in Asian snacks before we headed back to Sac. 1, 2, TEA is located in an oddly empty plaza among other ambiguous Asian businesses. Really easy to find parking since it's deserted. From the outside, the plaza looks so worn and dead, but this shop was a little burst of modernity. The first thing I noticed was how impeccably clean it is... The walls, chairs, and tables are all bleach-white. They have a few small plants here and there for decor, along with a shelf full of board games. The cashier was really friendly! Great service here. The dude even offered to remake our drinks in case we didn't like them. He was the only guy working that day, so service was a bit slow-- We got our drinks within 10 mins though which isn't tooooooo bad. Rose milk tea (no ice, 75% sweet) with boba and passion fruit dolphins: Pretty good. It's also an adorable shade of pink (yay for food coloring lol). The tea flavor is kinda weak and there were rose bits in my drink tho, which were kinda bitter. I think they should strain it more before mixing. Not the worst but not the best. Their boba is also pretty average, not really sweetened much. HIGHLIGHT-- the passion fruit DOLPHINS! Omg. I've never ever seen this topping before so I had to try it ^_^ I was pleasantly surprised because they don't taste too artificially sweetened, they're just lightly sweet & sour enough to taste like passion fruit, and they're soft enough to sip through the boba straw. I wish boba places in the bay had these!! I would def come back! Hope they bring back the cute glass bottles though, was a lil disappointed when our drinks came out in regular plastic cups that were smaller size than average. The Yelp business pics lied )-: CA boba would never hurt me like that LMAO. read more

I LOVE 1,2, TEA! It's so great to have a boba place in town that uses real tea in their drinks instead of powder, you can really taste the difference! The place hasn't been open long, but they already have quite the following. It's fun to come in every week and see all the new improvements. The employees are very nice and are always happy to adjust/change your drink if you are not 100% satisfied with it. I highly suggest trying the jasmine milk tea (MT) (their "normal" MT) and the Wintermelon MT. The assam black MT taste most similar to regular MT at other establishments. I always add boba to my drinks but there is a whole list of other toppings you can add to your drink instead! If you're not a fan of MT the Lychee-Rose slushy is super light and refreshing: perfect for a hot summer afternoon! As for snacks, you definitely have to try the chicken wings! Crispy, hot, and great flavor! I'd highly and gladly recommend this place!! read more

I've been here a handful of times, and what I like most about this place is that the taste of their drinks is very consistent. I normally order a jasmine milk tea with boba. This tea is very floral, and you can taste the creaminess. The drink is good, however, the overall taste is very mild, and nothing particularly stands out. The boba has a good consistency to it, but doesn't really have much flavor or sweetness to it. The people working are always very friendly, and make your drink fairly quick. There are also a lot of tables to sit at (although right now the shelter in place order is still in effect so you can't sit down right now). If you're craving boba, this place does the trick! read more
