21 Best Bubble Tea in Washington

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“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.“

“Above and beyond anything I've had food-wise in DC. First of all, the prices are incredible for the area and the portions are also solid. The beef rice bowls I are PERFECT. The vegetables are delicious, the meat is well-seasoned, the rice is cooked to perfection, and it has just the right amount of both sauce and spice. I'm also a bubble tea fiend and the matcha bubble tea is consistently tasty and mixed very well.
The staff I've spoken to are very personable and sweet, too. Service is incredibly efficient, but not so jarringly quick that it's clearly just taking stuff out of the back and throwing it into a bag. They take the time to prepare your food well. This little place is so, SO worth it.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Finally tried the sushi burrito here and it was 10/10 and I washed it down with some boba tea. Some friends got the Ramen and everyone enjoyed their food. Great spot in Georgetown for a quick bite or boba. This place exceeds the vibe check too.“

“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!“

“First off, the food here is amazing. Fair prices and great portion sizes. Very casual dining. You come in sit down with the menu and order at the front and they bring the food to you. I had the wintermelon milk tea and that was amazing too. Servers could be a smidgen friendlier/welcoming. But im here for the food and the food was amazing. Stop by here and you wont regret it.“

“Soupy Dumpling & Fancy Cuppa is my new go-to spot for comfort food. The soup dumplings are perfectly juicy and flavorful, the spicy beef noodle soup has a rich, satisfying broth with just the right kick, and the mango bubble tea is refreshing and not overly sweet. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. The place is cozy, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a visit! Oh they have robots running around so can be fun with kids.“

“We stopped here for bubble tea and a smoothie. The bubble tea was great, and there was a lot of options. I had a few critiques though, so I didn't give it a 5 star:

1. The trash was overfilled and nobody was changing it.
2. The smoothie was too much ice / not enough juice. The proportions were a little off.
3. The inside was quite warm, and there was no AC, and it was a fairly hot day.

I'd go back for the bubble tea though!“

“Service was a bit slow, but the tea was great: not too sweet and not too strong a tea flavor. The pearls in my drink had a perfect consistency, which is not something I often come across. TwoSet Violin's favorite tea (black milk tea with pearls, half sugar, less ice) gave me a great desire to practice 40 hours.“

“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.

“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!“

“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!!“
