this establishment is one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a boba serving restaurant. firstly, they had one person working and had terrible customer service. they had the heat blasting making my girlfriend literally fall to the floor from how hot is was from waiting. the drink they actually served was absolutely horrendous and is one of the worst boba drinks ive had in the city. if i were somebody else, i would never bring myself or anyone else to this place for boba whatsoever. disappointing.

I was searching for a good Boba tea nearby and stumbled upon this store. Wow, it was an amazing place with the best Brown Sugar Bubble Tea It's the most recommended and popular item at this place, and I'm sure all the rest will be good to try. The staff was so helpful and the best. Definitely a recommended place, best value for money!!

My new favorite boba chain! I only recently started seeing Ten One's pop up around the city. But it has grown to become the one boba place I constantly go to now.This Ten One location is in the Fenway area and it's a small but mighty shop. It was really busy when I got there and there was a line at the ordering counter as well as the ordering kiosk. I always like "contactless" ordering because I always feel bad making so many adjustments (that are sometimes confusing). It's just easier for me to make customizations without bothering someone about it. Their ordering kiosks are actually really great and are able to address everything that I care about; sugar level, ice level, toppings and/or removing toppings. Their kiosks accept tap payment but unfortunately don't take Discover cards as a payment (in case that is your primary card).Their drinks are a bit pricey BUT, as a self proclaimed boba connoisseur, it's worth it for the high quality tea they use and the unique toppings! My favorite drink here is the apple black tea with dragon fruit boba (dragon fruit boba is only available on weekends). But all the other fruit flavored drinks are also really good as well! I haven't had one drink with hard boba yet so they must be timing how long before they make the next batch. I also frequent their Arsenal Yards location, as well as the Assembly One. They def are following SOP's because all my drinks have been consistently good no matter which location I go to- which is great!

A great place to grab your favorite bubble tea, right in the heart of Fenway! I really appreciate the menu at Ten One. They have quite a few herbal and floral and tea options, as well as all the standard tea options. They also bring in a lot of seasonal teas, which are always a great option to try. I do appreciate that there are non-dairy options so that people with allergies can get a milk tea and not suffer for it lol. Lots of toppings options and ways to customize even the "standard" drinks to your liking. The drinks have been consistent when I have ordered (both tea and boba consistency).Not sure if it's all locations or just this one, but they have some fun discounts sometimes. Like for halloween this year, you got a 25% discount if you were dressed up in a costume. They seem to do some BOGO deals too so definitely a place to keep an eye on if you are a bubble tea fan!This location is definitely an order and take your drink to-go, but so are most bubble tea places in the area. Fenway is so walkable, that it is not a problem for me (I mean hey, just go explore Target next door if your heart desires to be inside)! The servers have always been kind when I have ordered and are happy to provide recommendations on what to try. The inside is small, but has a happy atmosphere. Now a plug to sign up and order through Snackpass, especially if you plan to visit every so often. You can accumulate loyalty points and work towards a free drink + an easy way to order your previous drinks or popular drinks other's are ordering.

Worst bubble tea I've ever had. Ordered the Ti Kuan Yin with brown sugar and it was like drinking pure sugar syrup. Absolutely undrinkable.

This place is pretty good! Their white honey boba isn’t too sweet, and their tea is good quality. Brown sugar milk tea was a bit too sweet for my preference. I was able to try a few things but hope to try more. Note: it isn’t the cheapest boba (I think minimum $7 per person).

I stopped by on 10/1 for their BOGO deal! I don't remember the exact name of my drink, but it was an osmanthus milk tea with brown sugar boba. I was happy to find that the drink wasn't super watery (as I had experienced with the back bay location). It had a light floral taste, but wasn't overpowering to the point that it tasted like perfume. Since the brown sugar boba already has sugar, I'd recommend getting a lower sugar level. For $4 this was an absolute steal.Note: there were quite a few bees flying around the store so maybe avoid this if you have bee-phobia. There were 2 cups at the counter with bees trapped inside them LOL.

Not a bad spot for boba in Boston! The menu at Ten One is a bit different than most other bubble tea chains around Boston. They focus a lot more on the floral and tea options, and have a smaller menu. I have come to this location quite often as there aren't a lot of other bubble tea options in the Fenway area and I have enjoyed their drinks! I love trying their seasonal options, which currently includes a number of osmanthus drinks. I do prefer my milk teas on the creamier side, which is not what Ten One drinks provide as they are more refreshing with a stronger tea note than the milk they use. Their topping selection is pretty minimal and is something that I suggest skipping. Their boba pearls are on the firmer side and I've tried their heart-shaped tea jelly as well, all of which is not very worth the $1 extra you pay for them. Otherwise, the drinks themselves are pretty good and the options are fun! My favorite order currently is their Earl Grey Milk Tea. The store itself is very small with no seating. Most people order via the two kiosks in the store, and you can also order on your phone through the Snackpass app to stack up loyalty points for free drinks (pro tip ). There is an option to order at the register but usually the staff are busy making drinks.

It’s a tight squeeze inside when busy, but it’s worth it because they have some unique milk tea flavors. I tried their lavender milk tea, and it was quite floral and nicely blended.My only complaint is that some drinks do not provide an option for sugar level. My girlfriend’s brown sugar milk tea only sells at 100% sugar, we tried to add in a comment to reduce sugar but was still too sweet.

this is a cute little boba shop in fenway! emphasis on "little" though, because there is no indoor or outdoor seating. there are two kiosks to order right by the front door. try to order quickly because people will enter right behind you, since there's very little room to move about. i found the kiosk menu easy to navigate since it's organized by type of drinks. there are also more boba options depending on the drink you're selecting. their fruit teas hit different during warm weather and come with little fruit inclusions! their coveted dragon fruit boba (1$ more) is only available friday-sunday after 1pm (they open at 12). if you're ordering any of the fruit drinks, i highly suggest getting it over the other ones. we came around 2pm and there was decent traffic inside, but we only waited for maybe 5 minutes before our drinks were ready. i feel like these prices are pretty standard for bubble tea in this area (aka pricey) especially with their many upcharges. it is a cute spot to stop by on a warm day but i don't see myself coming as often due to lack of seating and the pricing.

Ordered their brown sugar milk tea and it was solid boba. The tapioca was slightly chewy though.

This was my first time at this location in Fenway. I ended up getting the mango slush with dragonfruit boba and it was so good! Wished we got a large drink because we drank it up so fast. Definitely recommend for a refreshing drink.
