    Thai milk tea with black sesame bubble
    Apex S.

    Marking the first day of the new year with a new review! Onezo send to have recently opened a location in Allston. We happened to chance on it as we were walking back with our takeout order from Mala. Knowing that we're in for a spicy treat, we decided to grab a sweet drink to tone it down a bit. The menu wasn't the easiest to read. While they do have sections for tea vs. slush, their top 10 isn't marked accordingly. We first ordered the grapefruit 'tea' but thankfully we were told that it's a slush before we confirmed the order. We switched our order to a large Thai milk tea. As a topping, some of the options we were considering (cheese foam) weren't available. I'd suggest thinking over what you want to order before you get to the counter but keeping an open mind because they may not have everything that shows up on their menu board. We finally went with black sesame bubble (they call it bubble, not boba - not sure why). Their menu didn't show if we could adjust sugar levels or ice but the person at the register did ask us so we requested for 70% sugar and no ice. The drink took a minute or so to be ready. And it was delicious. Very fresh, not too sweet. Tasty chewy bubble. Good quantity. We'll look forward to stopping by everytime we get a spicy meal next door! Their desserts (souffles with so many different types of toppings) also look mouthwateringly good, so that's an order for the future! For now, it's good to have a solid milk tea location in this area!

    Been going here ever since it has been open. Love the handmade boba and the drinks itself. Very comparable to Gong Cha, but in my opinion, it might be slightly better in terms of specific drinks. Definitely would recommend the Honey Green Tea or the Strawberry Fresh Milk with white pearls in each. *I attached a picture of current hours during COVID along with this review.

    Quick service and staff helpful on my selections (sugar level, etc). I like Hong Kong styler milk tea with 70% sugar and brown sugar boba. I havent had caffeine in a while so it def hit me! Looking to try the souffle pancakes sometime.

    Real Fresh Fruit Tea

    I was very impressed by One Zo's selection of bubble tea and toppings! I got the Real Fresh Fruit Tea and loved how there were actual pieces of fruit in the tea. The tea itself was really delicious and they definitely delivered on my 'low sugar' ask. The one tip I will give is that their brown sugar boba is REALLY sweet. It tasted like it was drenched in brown sugar. Because of the boba bubbles, my tea ended up being really sweet even though I got a low sugar tea. Other than that, a really delicious option!

    The soufflé game at One Zo is on point. I have been to the one in Chinatown and was so happy to see that they had one of these in Allston. The place is so cute inside - about four round tables for you to dine-in (they are open for dine-in during Covid too). the decor is marble, gold, and on point for my ABG, basic girl lifestyle. And huge plus for making the perfect IG photo. We ordered the fruit Tea which comes with Fresh Passion Fruit Green Tea. It was so yummy and refreshing! We also ordered their mango and cheese soufflé's which is a collaboration with ZZ Dessert. It takes about 15-20 minutes for them to make this, but every time I order one of these, I melt a little bit inside. Its so freaking delicious and FLUFFY! It's also not overwhelmingly sweet and has the perfect cheese to sugar balance. I also ordered their milk bubble tea soufflé at the Chinatown location, and this was probably my favorite on since it came topped with the chewy boba tapioca balls. If anything, I come to One Zo for their souffles since they do it so well and can't really find this anywhere else! Overall, the place is super consistent - they always have phenomenal drinks that aren't overly sweet and really good desserts that taste so high quality and aesthetically pleasing. PS. the soufflé passed the jiggle test ~ that's how you know it's a high quality soufflé :)

    Bamboo Charcoal Latte with Sesame Boba
    Gillian S.

    Super cute place for studying/ hanging with friends/ just chilling on a super hot day. Aesthetics are so cute and the boba is amazing. My go to is always their bamboo charcoal latte with sesame boba but their fruity drinks are really good too! Probably one of my favorite boba places in Boston since they have so many different flavors of tapioca (not just honey or brown sugar like other places have). The seats are rather limited though so if you're coming with a large party, I'd recommend getting your boba and going elsewhere to chill.

    How is this a black tea latte?
    Jingcheng W.

    Very disgraceful manager who is too ignorant to handle customer relationship. I ordered a black tea latte and they gave me the latte part without black tea at all. Then I called up the store. Firstly I spoke with a very nice person who I guess was not in charge so a male manger picked up the phone. He said we are too dumb to taste the black tea and refused to admit, though we uploaded a picture of a purely white bottle of liquid which is milk. DISGRACEFUL AND DISHEARTENING. How can a brand hire such uneducated piece of nonsense.

    You know, I gotta admit, I really was not so sure if the saturated boba market in Allston had room for another establishment. I was close to writing One-zo off. My girlfriend, however, did suggest that we try it, because she had a pleasant experience with the Quincy location. So I decided to give it a shot with her yesterday. Long story short - we went back for seconds this morning. So yeah. But in all seriousness, we've tried the brown sugar latte, the hong kong milk tea, and the One-zo milk tea so far. But that HK milk tea is something SPECIAL. And the brown sugar bubbles are so SOFT and delicious. I am impressed with One-zo because it combines some unique signature items that they specialize in along with very good fundamentals (One-zo milk tea). The interior/vibe of the store also looks good for hanging out with friends. It's definitely among the best boba places I've been to in Boston, bordering on my top 2 along with Gong Cha. Now that I've tried One-zo, I know I ain't Done-zo.

    Milk Pudding

    I love the bubble tea at One Zo! The Allston location is very clean, aesthetic, and spacious. Perfect for photos or to grab a seat for a bit (as of now tables are still open). The tapioca pearls are very chewy, I believe they are made fresh in-store. I got the Hong Kong milk tea which is amazing and I also tried the milk pudding. They have puddings in these dinosaur egg containers and soufflé pancakes made by ZZ Dessert. I haven't tried the pancakes, but the pudding is decent. I mainly bought it for the egg container lol. OneZo's Worcester location is great too. I haven't been to Chinatown or Quincy yet.

    Really good but such a waste of plastic! These containers are so nice and totally reusable, yet are thrown away. So sad!! I wish these places would become more sustainable.

    Kevin S.

    First of all. One Zo is the most solid bubble tea in Allston. Every time I go the boba has the best consistency, and the flavors of all their drinks are amazing. I haven't gotten anything I dislike. AND the interior is AMAZING. They have a BALL PIT, and a leafy wall! And CLOUD LIGHTS (I love clouds) . I really don't understand why there is a line out of tiger sugar every day when this is here . People should check this place out more tho....

    I love HeyTea! Still my favorite location to go to in MA…read more I've experienced the least amount of problems here, compared to the other two (Newbury St. & Natick). PLUS, they close later than both. I have this bad habit of going here almost every time I have a meal in the area LOL. The addiction is real! I love that they keep adding new drinks to their menu... keeps it interesting. My favorite is still the Mango Coconut Boom but I'm a fan of most of their new drinks, like the Golden Oolong Yuzu & their King Jasmine Guava! I tried the Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, as well, and it's super similar to one of my favorites from MollyTea. I prefer the one from MollyTea more w/ champaca tea. Since their opening here, I have tried almost all of the drinks & their mango coconut boom is STILL superior! Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mango. It is pretty much their version of mango pomelo sago (they have a version with pomelo but I like it without). SO GOOD! ***Pro tip: order ahead of time via HeyTea app. This is a lifesaver, since the wait time is pretty atrocious most days still. Usually takes ~20 min to be ready.

The wait time estimates are relatively accurate too. Menu-wise, they have a nice variety of both fruity and creamy flavors. Definitely easy to find something for everyone's palette. I really enjoyed their Grape Boom Drink! The sweetness level was perfectly not too sweet with plenty of freshness from the actual grapes. Their Mango Sago Drink was also great but a bit too heavy. If you're looking for more refreshing drinks, definitely go for their fruity options.

As it was, my drink was also 80% ice for almost $6 - definitely not a treat I can get all the time. Quite a bit of seating inside. We came on a slow Sunday afternoon and the place was a ghost town with our pick of the tables. Only one girl working and making all the drinks; she wasn't super friendly, oh well.
