    Oolong Milk Tea
    Rachel L.

    A good go to boba place. Food: we got the Oolong Milk tea at 50% sugar. This was a good amount of sugar while still having a good amount of tea flavor. Perfect drink for a cold day. Service: the way were really nice and took our order really quick. Ambiance: really nice tables and couches to enjoy your drink and relax with friends

    Best boba in the area... love the fresh and milk teas. Only critique is they're still closed for seating, would love to meet up with friends here in summer but it's way too hot to hang outside and no seating available inside :/

    We were in town for a wedding and walking around the downtown area when we saw Teamo. The decor was great and the service was very friendly. We got a couple of the summer fruit drinks that really hit the spot in the heat. Great bubble tea place!

    Surprised to find boba in Iowa! Decor was great and drinks were solid. The matcha tea was on the milky side but the hong kong waffle was yummy.

    Oolong Milk Tea, Strawberry Bits Slush
    Shirley P.

    I did a search on Yelp for bubble tea in Iowa City, and I found this gem. I ordered their large oolong milk tea with honey pearls and egg pudding -- I did no sugar and no ice because I don't want my tea watered down from the ice melting, and the honey pearls itself already sweetened the tea perfectly. They were generous with the toppings, and they followed the instructions even though my drink isn't the easiest to make. My partner did a large strawberry bits and banana slush (they allow 2 fruits) with regular sugar and strawberry jelly. The staff were very friendly and sweet. When we arrived around 5, it was pretty busy with 4 other customers there, and that's how you know they're doing something right. It's a really cute space, and I'd definitely study here pre-COVID if I was a Hawkeyes student. I love how they have a wall of post it notes, so we added one to the wall to commemorate our time here. I'd recommend Teamo Tea to anyone in the area looking for authentic bubble tea in Iowa City.

    I love their signature milk tea. The honey pearl is properly cooked, it has the perfect consistency, and soft gummy like texture. The milk tea has a unique tea aroma and taste, but it doesn't taste bitter. I am glad to find out this hidden gems here at Iowa city.

    Honey Dew Milk Tea

    This is one of the best places where I've gotten bubble tea tbh. The only reason why this review is not a 5 stars is because of the long line! My order was Honey dew + honey boba + half sweet and it was the perfect refreshment for such a warm day in Iowa City. I strongly suggest you guys to try them, and at the same time I hope that management improve the customer service time process!

    I must say, it was very bold move to open a 3rd bubble tea shop within a block of the others, but Teamo has quickly ascended to the top of my list. They have a wide variety of teas with strong flavors. Sugar levels and ice levels can be adjusted for your preference. My all time favorite here is the Jasmine Milk Tea with bubbles (aka boba) with 50% sweetness and light ice. Their boba is soft and chewy with just right amount of bounce. If you've never tried "boba", I highly recommend it. Pro tip: get a stamp card! For every 10 drinks you buy, you get a free one with toppings!

    Hands down the best boba tea place in Iowa City. I have been here many times. After too many disappointments with the bubble tea situation in small town, I have to admit that my expectation was not high when I walked in the first time BUT I was pleasantly SURPRISED! Their grass herbal jelly Japanese Roasted milk tea tastes exactly like ChaTime in Chicago Chinatown. Also the owner and staffs are very nice and the make your drink super fast. Now they also have popcorn chicken(盐酥鸡) that reminds me of after class snack times back home: Super flavor and tender pieces of dark meat chicken! **My fav: Japanese Roasted Milk Tea with honey pearl or double grass jelly

    Teamo signature!
    Amanda P.

    Best place to get bubble tea hands down. This place is the REAL DEAL you guys. The tea is perfect and I love that it's brewed every day. I got to speak to the owner and she is so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does and has passion to provide the best bubble tea out there. The Teamo signature is absolutely delicious. I love it and order it every time. I also tried the Thai tea and that was fantastic. I love the esthetic in the store; it's fun and light and I'm excited to see what else is brought into the space. What to try: teamo signature! I get mine with normal ice and 3/4 sugar!

    Large Matcha Milk Tea w/ boba
    Erin B.

    A new boba spot! I'm so excited. I've gone to Teamo twice this week for their soft-opening BOGO deal and I've been more than satisfied with what I've gotten. I've tried their signature milk tea and the matcha milk tea and they were both great but I definitely have to go with the classic black milk tea with their honey boba. The tea isn't too sweet and the boba was cooked to the perfect consistency. Prices vary depending on what you get but I think the prices were pretty normal. The menu is limited until the grand opening, but for now they still have both fruit and milk teas in a variety of flavors with a variety of topping options. The space is relaxing with its blue walls and there are a good number of tables and couches to sit at. It still feels a little bit empty to me but hopefully they will fill it out more and add more seating or decor. They also have a post-it wall which is cute. Overall, I have been satisfied so far and I can only hope it continues to get better from here!

    Great tea. If you like the boba softer, you should go to La Tea next door. But I 10/10 recommend TeaMo, the milk tea is delicious.

    Do they have vegan milks?

    Their milk teas are made with non-dairy creamer, not sure if it's necessarily vegan but they have a lot of fruit tea options that don't have any milk/creamer!

    My friends and I were looking for something fun to do last weekend and decided to look for a…read morekaraoke place. We found this one through Yelp, but couldn't find information on prices, times, reservations, or anything. We called the number we found online, but no one answered. We called multiple times, but ended up with no information, so we decided to go and talk to them in person. When we got there, we found about 4 college aged students who did not speak much English at all. When we asked the cost, they said it was $15 per hour. We decided to go ahead, because that isn't bad at all. They had us sit in the waiting room for about five minutes, to clean the room (although there were zero costumers anywhere so I don't know why they hadn't done that before, instead of standing around and talking like we had seen them doing as we walked in.) We were then lead to our room and began singing. That part was pretty fun, and the music selection was decent, with many fairly current songs available. When we were leaving, however, we were informed that it was actually $15/person/hour rather than the $15/room/hour like we had been told. As we stood there in disbelief, the girl ringing us up said she would charge us $40 in total (there were four of us), which was a nice gesture, but still a lot more than we had been expecting. It wasn't the girl's fault, as she wasn't fluent in English, but it should've been written somewhere or explained to us better. We then shelled out the $40 and left, knowing we would never go back. All in all, the place was dirty, smelled bad, poorly lit, had poor service, and was way too over priced. Go at your own risk.

And I profoundly love boba tea and do not get it anywhere near as frequently as I desire. It was so rich and creamy, a heavenly blend of ube and caramelized goodness with perfectly tender boba pearls that have me yearning for more. We got it at 50% sugar and it was still very sweet so next time I would probably go for 25% sugar even. They also have shave ice and mochi donuts and they had neither of those when I was there because it was pretty late but you bet I'm going to be back soon to partake of this deliciousness as well! I love the decor, lots of green and cozy and clean and bright. So perfect! Service was fast and friendly!

That said, there's one drink here that truly pops off -- and it's what keeps me coming back. The Uji Matcha Latte with tapioca and red bean (half sugar) is my go-to order, and it's delicious. Perfect balance of earthy matcha, chewy boba, and just the right amount of sweetness from the red bean. Honestly, I like it even better than some matcha drinks I've had in Seattle! I think that drink is better than the random drinks I've tried at Teamo which is next door. The last time I stopped by, we were heading out on a road trip, and I ordered a small -- but heads up, the bottle is a teddy bear shape, which while super cute, isn't the most convenient if you're trying to fit it in a car cupholder. Still tasty though! Overall, I'd rate their boba quality around 3 stars -- but that matcha drink alone is a solid 5 stars in my book. Plenty of seating inside (the space is surprisingly big) and a few games at the front if you're hanging out for a bit. Tip: Stick to the matcha drinks if you're a fan -- they do them really well here!

Being an impatient gremlin, I went to La Tea instead. I love Jasmine Milk Tea; that is my go to everywhere I go. I'm always trying to find the next best Jasmine Milk Tea place for my tastes. Let me tell you, this place is not it. There was a reason that Teamo's line was much longer then La Tea. My tea did not taste like Jasmine at all. I was with my best friend and her mom. This was her mom's first boba experience, so she thought it was great. My bestie doesn't go out of her way to drink boba or milk tea, so she thought it was fine too. Basically, if you're a noob when it comes to milk tea, it'll taste good to you.
