24 Best Bubble Tea in Washington

“Very friendly and lovely owner! The food was absolutely delicious and everything was prepared by him personally. I didn’t think vegetarian noodles could be made in such a way, but the dish was truly excellent. The same goes for my husband’s dumplings. We enjoyed everything very much. I highly recommend it to everyone!“

“definitely best boba in dmv, even the world! we are regulars here (1-3 times a week) and never go to a different place—not even other kung fu tea locations! atmosphere is great—they play cheerful music. staff are welcoming and so so kind. boba is delicious too! chewy, sweet, and refreshing! love this boba place so much i cannot put it in words.“

“love it there. So much to do and eat. Palette22 drew me there, and I found a great entertainment distinct full of fun times. I plein air painted Morse Alley. Cool spot.“

“The coffee is fantastic! And the people who work there go out of their way to get your beverage perfect.“

“I have been wanting to eat at this ramen place for a while and today on 12/29/25 , I finally visited taichi bubble tea and I had their tomato based vegetarian ramen soup and their matcha boba milk tea and it was so flavorful , tasty , filling , and delicious. since I'm vegetarian , I appreciate the fact that staff helped me choose the vegetarian option to avoid eating ramen with meat or fish broth. Taichi bubble tea is now of my favorite ramen places in DC. Thank you for accomodating vegetarians like myself and for providing unique boba drinks too.“

“ETea was see at the Asian Festival on May the 17th. It was gloriously hot day and their teas were so yummy I had 4. Every one I tried tasted super and the BlueBerry was my all time Fav. I plan on going into DC to try more offerings from ETea soon. Maybe do something after I have a tea and snacks in hand. All who were king were happy and helpful too. Sorry the pix won’t work.“

“Excelente batidos muy delicioso 🤤 lo recomiendo mucho excelente servicio 🥰😍✨y muy amable el personal excelente ✨🥰gracias #DCBOBA“

“I was in town from Tampa Florida and found Share tea across the street from my hotel. I went twice in the same day I loved it so much.!!! I am still thinking about the tea I had..:not sure if I will be able to find a place here in Tampa as good as ShareTea … The girl was also so helpful that was working there to explain the different teas that I could have.“

“Love this place!! My favorite go-to at least twice a week. Can’t wait for them to re-open!!“

“I walked in and ordered a smoothie and a chocolate croissant. Service was slow because there was only one person at the counter. My croissant had too much chocolate in it I had to toast 2 slices of a baguette to make up for the excess chocolate. The chocolate was perfect! (-not bitter and not too sweet-) My croissant came with a few slices of cantaloupe. All in all a great experience!“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“❣️Wow, wonderfully delicious.
Had Starla as a waitress and she was simply such a gem, was very timely with everything. Sweetly explained the menu and gave incredible recommendations!
Because of her attentiveness I would 10/10 visit again.

The food was delicious, bubble tea flavors and pearls were fresh and simple. I would say it leans more toward an America flavor pallet depending on your selection but Im sure there are some sophisticated options if that's where your pallet tends to lean.

I got the chai latte light sugar&ice and my hubby greatly enjoyed Starla's PineappleMango suggestion. So yummy, so fun.

I love the bright decor and semi-exclusive dining options; certainly would love to meet the family here during an outing.

The bathroom was super clean and had a large mirror great for freshening up.

Certainly would recommend for DC visitors.

I got the Lucky dumpling back. Personal favorite of the bunch was the black Truffle so I know next visit which basket I'll lean more toward.

✨️BONUS: Their bowl, cups and utensil charger had a very elegant weight to them which was incredibly comforting and added a coziness to the experience.

All in all, great spot for mid-day nummies🥟🧋☺️👍✨️“

“I had such a beautiful experience here. It wasn’t just about the tea (which was absolutely delicious, by the way)—it was the kindness, the care, and the way I was received.

Justin’s service is beyond amazing— I honestly felt like I was being seen and nourished in a way I didn’t expect.
He remembered my son and I — and what my son ordered from about two days ago.. He didn’t have to remember, but he did!
The environment is welcoming, peaceful, and full of small, intentional gestures that linger with you. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to—not just for the tea, but for the energy.

Thank you Justin ,for your warmth. We will never forget about you and will come back again!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Others do too- it gets busy shortly after it opens. I have had the Pho, Bahn MI, Vietnamese spring rolls with peanut sauce and I have to get the Green Thai Tea. I have gone back for that alone. I love it! Try it, you won't regret it!“

“I came in today and got a white chocolate milk tea. It was very sweet so I recommend reducing the sugar level to suit your taste. It was only $5 for 24 oz which is a lot better than some of the other options I have seen. The staff were very friendly and willing to correct the sweetness level of my drink with more tea. I definitely recommend it.

Vegetarian options: Just avoid gelatin toppings

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free, lactose free“

“Teaism Dupont Circle Washington, DC I am not a great cook and I get too tired of eating the same old thing day in and day out so I decided to try something new after leaving my acupuncture session today. Well, needless to say the creamy curry spinach with cheese cubes and brown rice made my day.“

“I also ordered a basic pearl milk tea at 70% sugar. The milk tea itself tasted good great even, but the sweetness was a little off. The sugar or syrup they used tasted more like a sugar substitute, almost like the sweetness you get from chewing gum. Not bad, just not the typical milk tea sweetness I expected.

Overall, decent milk tea with a slightly unusual sweetener taste. I’d try other flavors before deciding if I wanted write this place off for milk tea.“

“We ordered 4 drinks: mango pomelo sago (mine), thai milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, and mango passion green tea. I only had a picture of my drink below. They were out of bubbles that day, but we picked other toppings instead so it was all good. The staff was super nice and friendly; they gave me the super cute cup and straw sleeves! The store was clean and cozy but a bit small.

The drinks were very tasty. I tried my dad’s mango passion green tea, and we both thought it was refreshing. My brother and uncle got the other 2 drinks, and they liked theirs too. For my mango pomelo sago, I ordered cream cheese foam with it, but there wasn’t much so the flavor didn’t come through—I had expected to taste some creaminess and saltiness from the foam. The mango was sweet enough to my liking. It was generally good; I’m just picky when it comes to mango. To sum up, I’d recommend this place and come back!“

“Gong Cha in Georgetown was overall a pretty standard bubble tea experience—nothing particularly special, but it met expectations. Ordering was convenient with two kiosks available, and the drinks tasted just as expected. The interior didn’t feel especially clean, which was a bit of a downside.

However, the egg waffle was absolutely perfect—crispy and delicious! I’d definitely come back just for the waffle.“

“The Chai is my latest obsession! Stopped in while visiting the White House and was blown away. The food was freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely frequent this eatery if I lived locally. For now, I am ordering their Chai online.“

“Excellent tea excellent service!!“

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with the customer service here. People seem to be expecting some magical experience in a tea shop and the people working there are nothing short of great. The mango yogurt tea is by far the best tea I’ve ever had. Does not deserve the reviews by any means..“

“Lots of choices for lunch, drinks, and desserts. My Chicken Teriyaki ($16.95) was very tasty and a good value. Dessert was Hot Chocolate ($4.95) with a slice of Banana Nut Cake ($2.50). Prices are reasonable and service was quick. The only downside was that it was uncomfortably cold inside. Space heaters in the winter and fans in the summer might make dining there more pleasant. Conveniently located across the street from the Gallery Place Metro.“

“Food is great. It's almost self service restaurant with no server. You can order your food from kiosk. The seats are limited so that could be little challenging during peak hours. But price and food are great and would visit again. Zha Jiang Mian was better than fried rice.“
