Ten One Tea House on Newbury Street is easily one of the most popular tea spots in the Back Bay area of Boston. We stopped by while walking around Newbury Street and ordered the Peach Lemon Oolong, which turned out to be incredibly refreshing. The drink had a light oolong tea base with a bright peach and lemon flavor that made it perfect for a warm day. The place was fully packed with people waiting for drinks, which shows how much locals and visitors love it. Even with the crowd, the drink was definitely worth the wait. The menu has a lot of creative tea combinations, and it's a great place to stop for a refreshing drink while exploring Newbury Street. If you enjoy tea drinks or are looking for something different from the usual coffee spots in Boston, Ten One Tea House is definitely worth trying.
Pretty good spot with fun deals throughout the year! They have different boba types which are cool, though I wish the floral flavors were a bit stronger.
The drinks were great but the service was okay and the location is great for a quick stop when shopping around the area.
Great boba shop off of Newbury Stumbled upon this cute bubble tea place right off of Newbury on my Boston trip earlier this year. Not gonna lie, the adorable squirrel logo and sleek ambiance won me over so had to stop by. You are greeted by ordering kiosks as soon as you walk into the store and interior is neutral gray tone with sleek modern lighting and overall minimalist vibe. There is seating by the window and a shared large table in the middle. You may end up with some awkward eye contact with people sitting across the big table if you care about that kind of stuff. Clientele looked to be mostly college aged. Service interaction is only when picking up your order which is pretty straightforward. Got the milk tea since you have to try the most basic one to see if they are good. It was not too sweet so definitely enjoyed it. Looked them up later and they appear to be a chain with many locations so seemed legit. Loved the little acorn on the cup lol their branding is very cute so definitely spot on aesthetic wise. I'd love to snag a window seat next time so I can people watch and enjoy great bubble tea!
Ten One has a Feb special menu and it looked really good so I had to try -- did not disappoint! I got the strawberry earl grey that was topped with milk foam + freeze dried strawberries. It wasn't too sweet (got 50% sugar) and was tasty with strong tea taste. Highly recommend. The place was also renovated since I last came here and now has a kitchen island for extra seating.
I've passed their fenway location multiple times and decided it was time I give it a try since I was already walking around newbury st. I ordered the mango green tea and was really impressed. It was delicious without being overly sweet or artificial. I usually ask for less sugar at boba shops, but since it was my first time here, I went with the regular sweetness level, and it turned out to be a great choice. The shop itself is cute and aesthetic with a few seats available to sit and relax after a day of walking. We ordered from the kiosk, so there wasn't much staff interaction, but the process was quick and easy. They also have a wide selection of teas that I'm excited to come back and try!
Pretty decent option for Boba on Newbury St! I default to TenOne when I'm in the Fenway area and want a quick pick me up of boba tea, so I was pleased to see a location open in Back Bay. The staff is super friendly and I like the option to order on kiosk machines, saves lots of time. A little crowded and not much seating in here, but it's great if you want to grab a tea and walk around Newbury St. That is the epitome of the appeal of boba am I right?! Great stuff. I really liked the Peach Oolong tea, delicious! My friend got the brown sugar boba and was a big fan herself. I love it!
Came here with some friends on a weekend because we were on Newbury street and craving boba - it did not disappoint! First, the interior is very modern and sleek, bright and clean with a little bit of seating available. I tried their rose oolong tea with their signature blue butterfly boba pearls. The drink tasted very fresh and their blue pearls are quite unique and chewy. Some of my friends tried their milk teas and loved them too. Definitely coming back!
3.5/5! I got the Apple black tea with green tea jelly which was a solid drink with option to change sugar and ice levels. The jelly didn't have any flavor, and my drink only had a few pieces of it despite being a $1 add-on. I tried my friend's brown sugar milk tea boba, which was good but too sweet without the option for sugar reduction. Overall, it's pretty good but not necessarily a place I see myself consistently going back to!
A great business and drinks without any doubt. A tea drink that's captured the percolating tinglies in my brain; some of which I could relive everyday. But unfortunately the business just felt like that, a business and not the love I was looking for. Certainly they are here to make good drinks and be a business, but if I were to go back, I would want more friendly staff and a comfortable place to sit to enjoy my boba.
Ten One is one of my favorite boba tea spots in the Boston area! I've been to their locations on Newbury and Assembly Row and both are great. The Newbury location has some seating but its a pretty small space. Drinks come out quickly and you can order on screens at the door. All the drinks we've tried have been great - our favorite is definitely the brown sugar milk tea. We were also able to try the February specials which included the pink milk foam and the strawberry earl grey drinks! If you can stop by for these specials, I highly recommend!
I think this is the best boba chain I've tried; always a 5/5. We tried the Valentine's Day special, pink milk foam strawberry early grey drink with light ice and 50% sugar since that was the only option on the kiosk. Would've been better with 25-30% sweetness, maybe this would be possible if you ordered through the cashier. Service was quick but it wasn't crowded when we arrived. They remodeled their interior with better benches, more seats and a kitchen island.
Brief Summary: - Tastes like sugared water - Same with the tea jelly - You can order either from the kiosk or by the staff - Seats available inside or out I discovered this boba place in Newbury, and I was interested to try the boba places that I haven't heard back in the Bay Area. Inside is pretty small with a few table and chairs to sit inside as we waited for our drink. We ordered a regular milk tea, and the tea jelly caught out attention, so we ordered that one as well. This we chose the Earl Gray tea jelly. Unfortunately, the tea here was non-existent.. It tasted like sugared water. The same went with the Earl Gray jelly tea; this only tasted like sugared water jelly. Tried as I might I could not taste the Bergamot Oil, that I usually find in Earl Gray teas.
Ten One Tea House in Back Bay is a great spot for boba. The drinks are well made, and you can really tell they care about quality. What stood out most is that they use real taro, which makes a huge difference in flavor compared to the usual powdered version. Everything tastes more natural and less overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Definitely a go to if you are in the area and want a solid, high quality tea drink! read more
Ten One is for sure one of the better bubble tea spots on Newbury Street (there are a handful of them). You can tell that their ingredients are good quality, from the tea itself to the boba. Service was pretty standard, with drinks made timely. They have some seating, but since the shop is located in such a nice area to walk around, we didn't bother staying for long. I'd happily come back! read more
Ten one tea has tea shops all over Boston. My tea was delicious. It took quite awhile for our order to be ready but it was so good! We all tried the February special of strawberry milk tea. It is a cute shop with lots of seating. read more

Overall a very different type of boba tea place than your typical place cashing in on their big trend. In my opinion, Ten One's claim to fame is their tea first. The boba is secondary here, and that is not a bad thing. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 9/10 The atmosphere is a great fusion of modern vibes with classical traditional themes and I think it is well put together and appears as a classy establishment. Also, the aroma of tea is very strong when you walk in through the door. SERVICE: 9/10 Service is fast and when you walk in, you can order everything on the touch screen, streamlining the entire process. My drink was in my hands before I knew it! FOOD: 8/10 Ten One Milk Green Tea with Blue Butterfly Boba - 8/10 - The green tea in this drink is fantastic. Very fragrant and is clearly built upon that foundation of excellent tea. I added the blue butterfly boba as I wanted to try it. I'm not completely sold on this boba being the way but it did have a very floral flavor. The color was pretty as well. The texture though was a little tougher and harder than regular boba. I think I will go with normal boba in the future. VALUE: 6/10 It is going to run $8-9 a cup which is on the higher end. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 9/10 TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Come here and try a drink. OVERALL: 8/10 read more

I had 0% sugar for this drink and I'm happy that it wasn't hard to drink. I wish that it was clear that the butterfly pea boba was not very blue. Overall it came very quickly so not a huge issue read more
This is the cutest boba shop ever! The little squirrel is so inviting. Get this, they have lactose free milk or coconut milk (I think that's what I got). Of course I needed to get Earl Grey Milk Tea, no sugar, and 50% ice. It was perfect. read more

Drinks (4/5) - Got the Tieguanyin tea with brown sugar boba, no ice (I'm crazy, I know) and 25% sugar. Would say could just skip the sugar. Tea taste was strong and one of the better ones I've had. Price (3/5) was a little steep, 7.65 for a medium drink, add ins are 1. Service (5/5) was fast, and there is seating indoors! read more

Boston boba visit number one and WOW. After reading some recommendations, I opted to visit here first although I wish I saved the spot for last because it's better to end on a high note. I still want to explore the plethora of spots around Newbury so I'll have to save an extra visit to Ten One probably. The first thing to note is their boba choices - there's four, so a variety in comparison to standard brown sugar boba. I wanted the Dragonfruit Boba but they were out. Another customer came in later and asked if they planned to make more and they weren't. Seems popular and worth coming back for. Skip the bottle. For $1.50 you're getting a little less drink and the bottle isn't even branded (I added one of their stickers). It's a basic plastic bottle. This is one thing that does make me want to dock points for, but I think there are enough pros to ignore it. Apparently there are stamps? We weren't offered a stamp card but I noticed another individual ask to get a stamp after ordering on the kiosk. Useful if you plan to be a regular but wish they had asked. It looks like milk substitutions are included, so lactose friends rejoice. Drinks are pretty sweet though. At light sugar (30%) I felt like I was drinking regular so I'd get no sugar in the future. Ten One Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba - their house milk tea made with black tea, it's rich and creamy. Black tea base that can be tasted. A pretty decent 50/50 balance between taste and milk flavors, so if you're not picky about a creamy taste or stronger tea, this is a great pick. Brown sugar boba was soft and chewy, close to perfect. Matcha Slush with Butterfly Pea Boba - slush was blend very fine, so no awful ice chunks! Matcha flavor was strong but not crazy. Perfect for a matcha enthusiast, but don't expect pure matcha obviously with the ice blended. Butterfly pea boba was recommended over brown sugar by the bobarista and it really was delicious. It's a sweet, floral taste due to the butterfly pea flower used and an amazing alternative to brown sugar (probably healthier too, even if they use sugar for the blue boba). Bonus points for aesthetics! read more
The store was cute and all, great lighting, but this lavender milk tea (with oat) was soooo bad. The lavender tasted more like mint (like my mouthwash), and even though I got 30% sweetened I felt the tea was really bad. However, I never have been a boba/iced tea fan in general but even for the once in a while I get this type of stuff, it wasn't good at all and so expensive too for a medium size -- almost $7! read more

I spent several weeks staying in in Boston and made it my goal during that time to try as many boba shops as I could. 6-7 boba places in, I stumbled across this place... and the rest is history. Seriously! I loved this place so much I didn't want to try another boba place again. Even brought back some of their cups as souvenirs. My favorite boba shop in town. Their menu has just the right mix of classics and unique floral teas. I tried the lavender milk tea and the rose milk tea which were both fantastic. Really wanted to try their fun floral teas like the "lavender forest" and the "drifting in dream", but they won't let you pair them with brown sugar boba, only their special clear bobas (said the flavors don't pair well with brown sugar) -- had too much of a brown sugar boba craving to forego this but definitely want to try this next time. Their boba is just the right amount of sweet and syrupy, soft and chewy. Can't wait for the next time I'm in Boston to come back to this place! read more

The tea was pretty good. The lavender one had a stronger flavor while the rose was definitely more subtle. The blue boba lowkey tasted like regular boba, but the dragonfruit boba did taste a bit sour. Service was fast even though there was a line. The inside was crowded and they ran out of seating. I wish the flavors of the blue boba and rose tea came through more. I had higher hopes, but still a solid boba place! read more

One of my most favorite boba spots in Boston! It is conveniently on Newbury! It also has so many other locations! The drinks here are so good and fresh. I love their seasonal drinks. I really enjoyed the brown sugar milk tea, the Osmanthus Honey Oolong Milk Tea with Whipping Cream, and the Peach Yakult Slush. These were all so good and they have really unique bubbles that you can add to their drinks. The service is fast and there are a few seats in the store. read more

One of my favorite boba spots in Boston! From the wide selection of fruit teas to the Japanese Matcha Latte, I've never had a bad drink - another huge perk is that their customer service is top tier (while I was in line, another customer accidentally dropped their freshly made drink and the staff immediately prepared them a new one without any questions asked). Grab a refreshing drink and take a stroll on Newbury Street; you won't regret it! read more
This location on Newbury Street is perfect to grab a drink and walk either to the Commons or to window shop. The steps to get inside are pretty steep so am not sure this location is accessible to all. They have a self-order kiosk or you can order at the front. I would recommend ordering at the front unless you know what to get. The kiosk is a little confusing at times and the ingredients are not always clear, for example sometimes the boba is called sugar pearls. They do charge an extra dollar for adding boba to a drink. You can choose a variety of sugar and ice levels which is great, and they have a couple of non-dairy milks. High price is the biggest drawback. A large brown sugar tea with boba was $7, which came close to $8 after tax. read more
The boba here was pretty good. We ordered the tea guam yin boba and the matcha boba. We were disappointed as some boba flavors were unavailable and it was early afternoon. It also looks like the interior was under construction? It was incredibly dirty and sticky and did not promote sitting indoors. I would recommend taking your boba to go. The service was relatively quick although there was only one machine for ordering and the line was pretty long for it. The 3 stars is genuinely just for the boba itself. As it is on Newberry street, it is difficult to find parking. read more

By far the best boba in Boston, hands down. The staff here are efficient and considerate, especially if the store's not busy, and always make excellent drinks. The boba is unique and delicious. My favorite is the dragonfruit boba, which is unfortunately only on the weekends now. My go to order is the matcha latte with dragonfruit boba/blue boba, and it's really nice that they don't charge for non-regular milk. The store itself is adorable with a lot of seating, although it gets quite packed pretty often. The aesthetic with the squirrel is such a cute design! Cannot recommend this place enough read more
The place is small and cute. They ran out of boba completely which was a bummer. The aloe Vera was tasty. Most places don't have aloe Vera that tastes nice. This place was pleasantly nice. I got an earl grey tea. It felt a bit watered down. I usually like my earl grey tea to be strong. This felt like the earl grey didn't have too much flavor. Overall it was fine. I'm thinking of trying other flavors next time. read more

Sorry about we ran out of all the boba for that day, but I am glad…
Ten One looked really cute whenever I walked by, and also replaced one of my favorite dessert shop s... so rip. My friends hyped this place up a lot so I decided to give it a try!! I of course had to get their signature (and cuz im still emo deep down), Drifting in Dreams, but i was just disappointed. Its just peppermint tea basically... so if thats your favorite tea - go for it! The boba was also decent quality. I'm going to give a 3 for now, until I try something else from them thats hopefully better... read more

Cute bubble tea spot! It's on Newbury street so it can get very crowded. I like the aesthetic of this place and their blue boba but seems like they run out of certain boba every so often. Thankfully, they were reloading the blue boba so I was able to get it. It's a little pricey for what it is but that's basically all boba spots nowadays. Drink was very tasty and refreshing and not overly sweet even at 100% sugar. Small spot but managed to get seats. Definitely would come by here again if I was in the area and craving boba. read more
Ok tea. Expensive due to the location. They have many options but seemed to take a while to order because I believe they were out of a few things. Very good with giving suggestions and was patient in explaining the drinks to customers. Once you pay, it doesn't take too long to get the drink though. The line always seems to be there. Rose Honey Tea: medium size with white pearl boba (honey boba) came out to about $7 with tax and tip. Good rose flavor, but was still a little too sweet even with Less sugar (75%). I suggest doing half sugar (50%). They strongly recommended not getting the brown sugar boba with it as it would've overwhelmed the rose flavor. Service and ambience: friendly and patient in explaining. A bit slow to order due to explaining the flavors to people. It was the end of the day, but there were bunch of packages inside the store, and the chairs/tables seemed a little dirty and disorganized. Suggestions: have an explanation of the drinks somewhere. Maybe add a QR code for people to order from outside so it's much faster. Have a way (atleast online) to show if you are out of any drinks. COVID precaution: sanitizer available and masks required. Can get a little crowded inside due to popularity. read more
This place is what I'd call aesthetic bubble tea. Every drink looks like a work of art. It's just so pleasing to look at. The best part: You get the satisfaction of mixing the drink. Oh my. How is it possible to derive so much joy from a few simple shakes? Also, I've never felt so empowered while ordering bubble tea before. You pretty much control every aspect of the drink, and thus, you have the clarity of knowing exactly what went into your drink. My one suggestion is that unless it's really cold outside, I'd probably stick with the regular amount of ice. I decided to pick less ice and within a few minutes all of the ice had fully melted away so there was nothing keeping the drink cold anymore. In case you're interested, I had a large tieguanyin bubble tea with white pearls (it's chewier than the brown sugar pearls) and milk. I recommend it, but it seems to be the standard drink a lot of people get. I'm definitely going to wing it next time and try something different! read more

My favorite tea shop in Boston! I will go out of my way to come here; it's that good. I always get two of the osmanthus oolong teas. The tea is always fresh, sweet, and prepared very quickly. The shop is small, but don't let that deter you. You need to try these drinks if you're a fan of iced teas. read more
Brown sugar milk tea was good, but not great. Even after mixing, it was a little on the sweet side. The blend was a little too much milk and too little tea. That aside, I do think Ten One is a primarily fruit tea establishment. The jasmine fruit tea was awesome! Fresh fruit flavor with the right sweetness level. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Their dragon fruit pearls are REALLY interesting and unique! Awesome chew to them, and flavor is just the right level of subtlety as to not overpower the drink. Prices are a bit on the expensive side, but I will definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more
The tea was good... a little complicated to select what I didn't know. They didn't have my usual tarot milk jasmine tea but nonetheless it was all tasty and good. They have high chairs but not exactly most comfortable seats and there's no restrooms for the clients. The tables need to be wiped clean though. read more
