OneZo Brookline

It says OneZo but they also have a MochiNut in the same space. After lunch across the street, we were in the mood for dessert and happened to see this place. Some tables were occupied on a late Saturday afternoon but it was not crowded. The staff at the register wasn't the friendliest but it was ok. We got a sesame mochinut to share and also managed to snag an empty table. The donut was nice, not too sweet but perfectly chewy in texture. The ambiance is also quite peaceful so we sat there for a while, chatting, and it was great that no one rushed us.

I've tried the tea at OneZo twice now, and I just don't really like it. It's not bad, it's just average. The interior is clean and has some very cute decorations (more for cute pictures of your drink), but I don't think I would sit there for half an hour.

Definitely a self service type of place - no one takes your order it seems like, they have a self service machine. I definitely don't mind since I like to customize my drink and it makes it easier this way. I love all the different options and the boba was chewy and delicious. I usually get worried about adding bubbles to my drink, but I was feeling optimistic and I was right this time around. I got the mango green tea with zero sugar because the mango made it sweet already.

AMBIENCE: 3/5- We were the only ones there since it had just opened but it played the typical KPop music that most boba places played- Small place with not much seating but boba's meant to be grab-and-go anyway- Cute little picture on the wall of Van Gogh sipping on boba. It made me chuckle hahaSERVICE: 4.5/5- We went right when it opened with one person working who greeted us with a smile. We felt bad as we had to change our order a couple of times since we couldn't decide - you could tell he was a little annoyed but when we apologized he was polite and said not to worry about it- Drinks were made right away so it was quick since we were the only ones there- Wish the drinks could be a bit colder but still a good temperatureFOOD/DRINK: 4.5/5- Grape Fruit Green Tea w/Aloe Jelly: Came in slush form, which the server told us beforehand which is much appreciated. My friend didn't care much but I personally don't like slushie drinks. That being said, this one was pretty bomb. Very grape fruit and tart enough that it gives it a little kick but not too much that I make a face. Like the touch with the grapefruit slice in there - gave it the asthenic I am always looking for haha- Passionfruit Green Tea w/Mango Boba: Solid passionfruit green tea. Can't really go wrong with that combo anywhere. The mango boba was delicious, although I wish they had just slightly better texture just because half of them popped before I could even get them through the straw. I ordered 25% sugar and I'm glad that I did. I don't have much of a sweet tooth and the 25% sugar was sweet enough for me. OVERVIEW: - Would come here again to try other flavors. Grape Fruit Green Tea is pretty solid.

Dining method: Counter-serveItem(s) ordered: Thai tea with classic boba, no milk, 25% sugarSpeed: Fast! (Like 2-3 minutes)Things to know: - You can customize amount of sugar and ice (and potentially other things too!)- There are dairy-free and lactose-free options, and you can even get the tea without milk (including Thai tea)The short answer: Accommodating, customizable, and generally delicious, OneZo is the place to get your bubble tea! The location is very accessible, right on the C-line. OneZo is a cute little shop with a lot of character that you should totally visit if you have a hankering for boba. The long answer: The one milk alternative is oat milk. They also stock their store with loads of Lactaid milk (quite funny, honestly). You can ask for no milk (which was absolutely delicious with an iced Thai tea, though you might have to insist, because it's not a classic order). The staff are super sweet too. Will definitely be returning.

I was craving boba and saw this place around the corner so stepped in. The interior was simple, cute and clean. I was really excited when I read that they had wintermelon because I love wintermelon milk teas. I asked if they could make it since it wasn't in the milk tea section and the bobarista said that he could not. Not sure why it's not an option so I was a bit bummed and just got the wintermelon oolong tea. The tea itself was fine. I was not a fan of the boba texture. It was lumpy and not that perfect soft chewy consistency that I love. Personally would not got back.

I'm surprised that this place opened up next to Royaltea (they're pretty much next door). I didn't have a great experience at Royaltea, so I hoped that this place would be better.For my lactose intolerant friends out there, no need to pull out your Lactaid pills because THEY USE LACTAID MILK FOR THEIR LATTE DRINKS! WOOHOOThe menu has the standard set of typical bubble tea drinks as well as a dessert menu (think sago, taro balls). They have a number of different tapioca balls to choose from (including purple yam).I got the purple yam latte ($5.25) with purple yam bubble ($0.75). The drink was prepared super quickly. The purple yam itself did not have that much flavor (it tasted like grainy milk). The drink was not super sweet. The purple yam bubbles were very chewy but again did not add much flavor to the drink. I know that this drink is not supposed to be exploding with flavor but the lack of flavor in the purple yam bubbles was a little disappointing.Overall, I'd choose to go here over Royaltea any day.

My friend works here so I'll give her a good rating :^)This was during their grand opening. We got a buy one get one free bamboo charcoal milk tea, Hong Kong styleMilk tea and brown sugar milk tea everything was 10/10

9$ for a taro tea that tastes like a mix is just heinous. I'd be okay with the price once in a while for a treat if the quality was still there, but it is not. What happened here? I'm bummed.

Good place in Brookline !!! Good food and good drinks ！I very like it! I will be go there every week!
