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

We were in town and looking for a boba tea place and thanks to Yelp, found one close enough to the downtown area. It didn't take that long of a drive. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Loved the decor inside, spacious, and good tasting tea. They were out of the regular boba when we got there after dinner so had the crystal boba. read more

Love love love boba tea and this cutie little place! Definitely visit 1, 2, Tea for a place to hang and get yummy drinks or just grab a drink to go for the day as a treat! This place is the cutest! Their decorations and the ambience just make me happy and I wish this place is my place sometimes. I have tried many drinks from here and I like all of the ones I've tried so far. I don't really have a go to drink here because it depends on what I'm in the mood for when I crave boba. Oh and their hot teas are great for a cold and gloomy day as well. The service is good and simple. Plus, they have lunch cards so you can get a freer drink after 10 drinks. I recommend this place so go there next time you are in the mood for boba tea! read more

Nice teas and slushes. I tried the Mango tea and my friend tried green tiger. Both were so good

I used to like this place, but lately every time I've come in their menu is not accurate. Not only are they out of stuff, but they have stuff listed that they have no intention of ever restocking. I have to laugh a bit because of how many times per day they must say "we're out of that". Today: - no pudding toppers (2 listed) - no grass jelly topper - no waffles (whole screen of menu dedicated to waffles they do t even have this week) - no sea salt topper, no plans to make more, still listed in menu After a while it just becomes tiresome to come in and try to order things. FIX THE MENU PLEASE read more

I LOVE 1, 2, Tea! I like to come in and get the Rose Milk Tea ! It's so delicious and has just the right amount of sweetness while tasting like how you think a rose would! 1, 2, Tea is very special- everyone behind the counter is laid back and helpful. I like going in on weekends as my boyfriend and I will usually sit down for a game of Uno! while drinking tea.Oh, by the way, they have games there! They adversities karaoke nights I believe, for Wednesday's! I hear the mango tea with boba is pretty good although I'm not much of a mango girl. 1, 2, Tea is located in a very 'old Reno' neighborhood that sports some pretty views of Reno High School, other neighborhoods in the area and of course, of the Rocky Mountains. 1, 2, Tea is tucked away in a small strip mall but is not a place to miss! read more

Great drinks! This is one of our favorite local boba spots. Very busy location for sure. Reno high school is down the street. Must try Mangonada, Taro with coconut, Thai tea, melon, guava. We get together with friends and family here for a catch up spot or with family to play all the board games. Some nights we have stopped by they have karaoke which is very cool. We have been customers since they first opened. I feel that the drinks taste different since I have seen many new faces behind the bar. Long lines quick service. read more

Such a pleasant surprise here in Reno! (this is where all the Asians in Reno are hiding LOL!) Got the Jasmine green milk tea and roasted oolong for my roommate. Things I loved about this place: - super simple in the great way, simple cups, simple tea, not trying to do anything new or fancy, reliable. - Really great service, super friendly cashiers - Reasonable prices (in a place with not much competition like here, $3-4 is good for me!) - Easy parking in this shopping plaza - Good vibes, what I would expect from any boba shop - board games, nice places to sit and chill, pretty clean. - Homey/hipster aesthetics (succulents on the wall, wooden tables, etc.) - Tea wasn't too sweet or overly iced, feel like I got what I paid for - Boba wasn't overly hard or soft read more

Stopped by on our way to Cali to try out the local boba scene. I got the Assam Black milk tea and it's a solid standard milk tea. Doesn't taste artificial or heavy with gross half and half. It was noon and their boba wasn't done being made so they recommended their crystal boba instead. I've had this kind of boba before and though I was a little disappointed that it was an hour into opening and they still didn't have boba ready, I was happy to have the crystal boba as a replacement. I really like the crunchy texture it has. So fun to chew! Bf got the passion fruit green tea and he says it's "meh." He does like the crystal boba too, though! Overall pleased with the milk tea. Aesthetics are clean and very white, packaging is no frills and minimalist. Service was good. They are doing karaoke there for the first time tonight so go check that out if y'all live in the area! read more

Hands down best boba in town, no contest. Tea flavors are strong and pronounced, quality matching that of any Bay Area / SoCal boba options. The boba itself is unfortunately a little "old" in texture and not sweetened, but that is a small price to pay for the quality of tea. Bless up Also great vibes inside. read more

Great tea selection and wonderful tastes. The service was kind. Friendly place to unwind with a boba tea! Many different types of people like boba tea here. Nice to see diversity in action. I will try the Assam tea next as it's a favorite tea of mine. They have slushies too if you like those. WiFi is available but it's spelled WeeFee. Cool. Update- I went here recently and about 5 'workers' were just shooting the breeze. No line. When I got waited on, I said I wanted a small milk tea. The guy said, "I see. Less calories, huh?" I just said, "Nah. I just want a smaller size." This is customer service? On top of this, my tea was mainly ice. read more

1, 2 Tea is just the type of place you can to grab a drink and hang out with friends. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Every other day of the week they do themed game nights, like tea pong on Tuesdays and karaoke on Fridays. They have a wide variety of board games available for everyone to play with. Everyone working there is always so nice and attentive. Hoan is always so nice and always has a smile his face. read more

1, 2, Tea - Tiger Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I have a new quest in town - try all the bubble teas! I've tried a few around town and so far 1, 2, Tea is my favorite. I purchased a large strawberry-raspberry tea and added passion fruit dolphin boba (dolphin- what!? So cute). The tea was fantastic. It had bits of real fruit. I got it sweetened 25% and it was just right. They have so many different flavors, toppings, etc. If it's your first time and are overwhelmed/don't know how to order, just tell the server what you like and they can suggest something I'm sure you will enjoy. Personally, I stick to the sweetened fruit teas. They also offer dairy free milk teas which is awesome. 1, 2, Tea has done a good job with the inside of their shop. It's inviting, clean and comfortable. There is a shelf of games and I see they are open later to host evening events like karaoke and tea pong. Will come back next time with some friends. read more

Seniority why doesn't the air conditioning work??? It was stifling in there!! The stupid fans weren't making it any better. But seriously, this one is nothing like the other location on Damonte! Absolutely no customers in there and those windows were DiSGUSTING! I was afraid to touch the garbage can because it was so extremely nasty. I'm not sure what quality of products they are using versus other boba locations because the fruit tea was absolutely tasteless...really too bad. First time and definitely, last time for me! read more

Sad they're out of crystal boba. I'm trying coconut-ginger milk tea which is very nice. Definitely ginger forward but that's what I like. I ordered it with regular boba and it's not my favorite. Some are just too hard. But it's better than extra squishy balls. I'm waiting for my child to get out of a function at Reno and was invited to stay for tea pong and pizza. Sweet! My two high schoolers are regulars here and really enjoy the honeydew smoothie. read more

Delicious teas! I always try boba places on vacation and this had good reviews, so i brought my family in reno along! So delicious, and had lots of choices along with cool unique mixtures. Only two people working, but got all of our drinks out pretty quick. I got the earl grey milk tea w/ lychee and it was so good! Definitely recommend going here if you want to try something new! read more

1,2,tea has upgraded so much since the last time I've went! This place gives off such a nice vibe and the workers seem like they really know boba if that makes any sense. The workers are really dependable with explaining what toppings would go well with which ever drink and what drinks taste like! This place is definitely number one in my list of boba places in Reno now! I love their variety of flavors and how it's not like other places that only offer the same 4 flavors. I definitely recommend this place for studying, grabbing a quick snack, anything really! read more

Came in today for the first time in awhile. When we ordered, the cashier kept pushing us to upsize to a large when we clearly wanted regulars. Also he started us a stamp card without asking first & repeatedly told us to follow the store on Instagram. Overall the tea is alright but recent my experience is what made me lower my rating. However, he offered to remake the whole thing when I asked for it sweeter. So overall this place isn't too bad. read more

I really like this spot, too bad there is no indoor dine in at the moment because of covid. I got the rose milk tea and it was super delicious! Literally so much for flavor! I like it a lot and will be back for more! read more

Review #221 - 2018 I was super excited to see a new milk tea spot that had a high rating in Reno so of course I had to make my way over and give it a try. We showed up around 12:45 PM on Wednesday, July 25th, and the place was empty. I guess it was still early so no one was in the mood for milk tea. We placed our orders and got our drinks about 15 minutes later. The place is very nice and clean. The set up was super cute and comfy. Unfortunately, the drinks didn't live up to our expectations. My green tea was just ok. My son's and niece's matcha milk tea tasted off. I couldn't describe exactly what was off, but my son actually complained about his drink and he never does--so I had to try it to see what was wrong with it. One of my nephew had the Oreo shake and he said it was good enough. My other nephew had a passion fruit green tea and he said it was just ok. Service was very friendly, but I really hope that they'll adjust the drink flavors so we can keep coming back in the future. Also, their drink sizes are pretty small for the price compared to the Bay Area. read more

The tea was delicious, the space was clean, enjoyable to be in, had great fun with the games they had within the shop. It was busy. But for how small the shop was it took us 45 minutes to get an order of wings. Under impressed for the wait. Would recommend, just don't order their food. read more

1,2,Tea... The punny name is really all you need to know you're walking into a good time! The measure of a good boba shop seems to be the length of the menu. I kind of joke here, but the die hard fans seem to be after an experience that lets them try something totally different every time they visit. So it seems the best shops have menus that nearly cover the walls, offering a huge array of flavors, toppings, and preparations that create an almost unlimited number of combinations! 1,2 Tea delivers on all accounts for those fans, but I'm a simpleton, and easily consumed by paralysis by analysis. I asked the gentleman at the counter for a recommendation on a tea with boba, and he suggested the passionfruit flavor. I was pleasantly surprised to see real passionfruit seeds in the cup when the drink arrived and the flavor wasn't overly sweet either, which is one of my biggest complaints in these beverages. The boba seemed smaller than I anticipated, and some of them lacked the gummy texture I really enjoy. Aside from the boba, I noticed they had a few snacks on the menu too, like fries, chicken strips and butterfly shrimp. All of the snacks sounded fried, and there actually was fryer aroma in the air that I didn't love. Otherwise, this shop is top notch. The playlist was rocking. The selection of board games quite cool. The AC was cranking and the space is big, bright and white too! A great place to settle in for a work sesh or grab a snack. The minor flaws are easily covered up by the genuine regard the staff has for their customers and the efficient service too. I watched the two man team greet each guest, prepare drinks, and make sure everyone was happy. They literally never missed a beat and hit every service high point imaginable in a place like this, right down to thanking first time visitors and handing out loyalty cards to let everyone know they're appreciated. Now, if only I could find a boba shop that's touting the quality of their tea and serving up drinks made with fresh fruit and natural flavors. Does such a place exist? Until then, 1,2,Tea is where it's at for me! read more

The customer service I experienced here was amazing. I was having a hard time deciding on what I wanted to drink, a nice guy behind the counter let me try a milk tea that he just made for someone else...I cant remember the name but it was pretty good, and I was told if I didn't like something they would re-make what ever I wanted. I went with the rose tea...I did not like it...very earthy. So like they promised they re-made me another one, I went with the Jasmine Green Tea with Boba, it was ok. I wish they offered more flavors that could be blended. I guess I'm just used to what the mall does. I will give this place another try. Customer service goes a long way! read more

BEEN waiting for a boba spot in the Reno area! And I think this place has done a great job. They have a chill and relaxing vibe for people to get comfortable and hang out.

I recently came in and got a lychee rose slush with boba. While the boba was cooked perfectly and didn't stick together at all, the slush could have been a lot smoother, as there were some small chunks of ice. I also feel like the lychee overpowered the Rose flavor, and made the drink taste fake, not like fresh fruit. The staff was very friendly and fast though and the store itself is very charming and cozy. I would like to enjoy a different drink inside the store when available. read more

1, 2, TEA, 4, 5 because I give this place 5 stars. Visited this business on their soft opening and upon walking in you immediately notice the welcoming and nice aesthetics. Located in a shopping center right near Reno High School and The Godfather's pizza. They offer a variety of milk teas and smoothies with a variety of other toppings such as boba. In addition, they offer some tasty snack options. As for the drinks, I ordered the jasmine green milk tea. For once, you could actually taste the tea and it wasn't powdered like other places in town. Unfortunately they did ran out of boba, but getting lychee jelly was a good substitute. For food, I got the sweet potato fries. They were hot and delicious so I have no complaints here. Although it was the soft opening they did a great job and I cannot wait till their grand opening! The food, drinks, and service were all great especially for a soft opening. Service was beyond great and the employees asked me about my drinks and food during my visit to gain feedback. Everyone was very nice and the wait time for the drinks and food weren't long. The menu is still currently growing as they are looking to add a few items. I am excited for this new boba business in Reno. I can't wait for my next visit to 1, 2, Tea! read more

This place is AWESOME. The owners are so friendly and welcoming, it actually feels like they talk to me as my friend than just people trying to sell me awesome tea. They make the effort to learn their customers names, and returned my lost keys which I lost about 2 minutes into walking into the store because I was so blown away and distracted by the ambiance and vibe of the place. In addition, they gave us free samples! They also adjust the drinks to our liking, and they make them pretty fast. Their peach green tea is so delicious. Also their toppings are so cute - the passion fruit dolphin topping is literally in the shape of a dolphin. How. Freaking. CUTE. And they got games! The list goes on and on. This place is great to chill out, destress and to have a good time w friends! Finally no powered milk tea. GOD BLESS. Reno just got better folks. ****UPDATED**** If I could give this place 10 stars I honestly would. I came in today after a long day of dealing with final exams while also running on like 3 hours of sleep. First of all, I walked in and got a "Hey Ria!" from one of the store owners. (*CRIES*) This alone already made my day. I walked in to order some tea & sweet potato fries but they weren't able to make the fries at the moment which was fine with me, but they insisted on giving me a large tea with boba to compensate for the inconvenience just because they weren't able to make the fries at the time. My heart, man. Definitely in love with 1, 2, tea and would recommend it to any and everyone. Crazy to think that they just opened recently and they're doing a phenomenal job. Their kindness and genuine personalities truly go above and beyond the service. I'm so excited to see this business grow! read more

This place is a breath of fresh air! You step inside and it's clean and bright. The walls are painted white and you hear dance music in the background. There were pretty flowers in glass vases on each table. The shop has a very modern look. The menu included a good selection of milk teas, slushes, fruit teas, smoothies, and snacks. The prices were decent. I went on a Tuesday evening with my cousin and 2-year-old. We were greeted by two guys at the counter, they were very nice. The shop was empty at the time. There was a shelf of board games on the wall. My toddler was occupied with playing Connect Four. I ordered a Rose milk tea with crystal boba and Mama's eggrolls. My cousin had a Thai milk tea with regular boba and sweet potato fries. I was asked to sample the Rose milk tea to see if the sweetness was to my liking! It was delicious. My cousin liked her Thai tea but she regrets not asking to make it a bit sweeter. The eggrolls were freshly cooked and the sweet fries were dusted with salt. They were delicious too. Overall we had a great experience. I'm definitely excited to try their other menu selections. I hope 1, 2, Tea does well in this community. I enjoy supporting local! read more

Super cute place that is actually bigger than the other boba places in town-with plenty of seating. I had a jasmine milk tea with boba and thought it tasted more watered down but my friends felt it had more of a tea flavor than milk and were content with that-they bought one to go after having one there! Their menu selection isn't overwhelming which is nice and they also offer food options. Since they just opened, they also gave out samples of their slushee flavors to try-and all of them were really good! I especially liked the lychee rose. Located near Reno high, I have a feeling it will get crowded with high schoolers pretty soon! But definitely check it out! :) read more

Customer service is great. Drinks were decent. They remade a drink because it didn't taste right without giving a hard time. I can appreciate that level of customer service. Sassy wings were pretty good. Jalapeño peppers don't have any heat to them and tastes just cream cheese mostly. The decor is beautiful. I think it comes down to what you order like any other place.

I don't think I've been this excited for anything in my life. A boba shop, 3 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE!! This place is everything I have ever wished for. The aesthetic, the milk tea, the snacks, the atmosphere. When you walk in, you see their decorations like succulents hanging from the wall, and more plants! It's so beautiful it reminds me of boba shops in California. One of the reasons why I love how reno is developing! The workers were so nice and they offer loyalty stamp cards as well! They also hold a contest where they give away free boba on instagram (@12teareno). They have a wide variety of drinks, ones you can't find anywhere in Reno. For example, rose milk tea, slushees, smoothies, you name it! They are also considerate for the ppl who come hungry, they offer an array of snacks like fries or fried chicken under $10! I got the Thai milk tea and taro milk tea, both impressed me! Their drinks range from $3-4 each, one size, and $.50 toppings. I am so happy that a boba place opened right next to my house, and open til midnight Fri/Sat! They also have board games and tons of tables for people to just chill. This is exciting and dangerous for me, a boba addict. I will most likely be returning again tomorrow. read more

Amazing as always! I recommend the taro smoothie with boba and crystal boba and the strawberry-lychee fruit tea with crystal boba . Also the tiger milk tea!! The flavors are always consistent. Don't forget to get a stamp card for future visits to earn a free drink! Oh and a free boba on your birthday!!You're welcome. read more

Was in this shopping center doing errands and figured it would be a good time to stop in and be able to try out the place and thus write a new Yelp Review. First the place is darling! White washed wood décor, an wood accent wall succulents, and some trendy hipster decorations along with white "wood" floors and wooden tables with white legs and white chairs. It is what I would call modern-hipster-simplistic. I'm not a flashy fancy type of gal, so I liked the decor. The counter staff were super friendly. Service was prompt. Place was very clean. I ordered a Honeydew Smoothie, it was made well. I do agree that the price is a little high, I can get the same smoothie (but larger size) in Sparks for a dollar cheaper, but it is really nice to have a boba tea place 5 minutes from my place. They also have free wifi, so if you are like me and like to have quiet food/laptop take along places to crank out some work while eating, this would be a nice place to go... Can't state if they are patient with such things I took my smoothie to go. In spite of the higher price, if you like boba tea I would still recommend this place. read more

By far THE BEST boba cafe in Reno. Not only do they have incredible flavors, they have incredible events like their Karaoke Fridays. My best friend and I come every week, usually to order the same drinks every time: Thai Milk Tea and Taro Milk Tea. We also like to try different flavors from time to time, so if you're ever unsure of what to order, ask the staff for samples. The staff are really nice and friendly, too. That's always such a plus coming to this place. And let's not forget the ambiance! This place is aesthetically pleasing and cozy. read more
