24 Best Bubble Tea in Washington

“We did one day DC trip and visited this Chinese restaurant for lunch. My dad ordered a spicy beef soup, my little one had buns, dumplings, and spring rolls, my husband ordered non-spicy beef soup, I had a spicy sesame noodles with sesame rolls. We all loved what we ordered. Those are tasty authentic Chinese food. I was very satisfied with my spicy sesame noodles. They are delicious! I am so glad we tried this place. We will come back again for sure. The place is small but welcoming, it has indoor and outdoor spaces for dining. The staff is very kind and friendly. Luckily we were there early, there was a line afterwards when we started eating.“

“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.“

“So my first taste of Asian cuisine in DC. I hate so many people are going to QR codes instead of actual servers, but glad it works. Whole experience was about 30 minutes worth of dining total. We ordered the Mapo Tofu (Vegan), the Spicy Beef Noodles, and the lucky 6 soup dumplings (to get a sample of them all). The three I tasted were the seafood options, so the green/red/and yellow tipped pictured below. The green was gourd buffalo, shrimp, and pork. The red was scallops & pork. And the yellow tip was crab meat and pork. My date had the other three. Truffle & pork (black), pork & chicken (yellow), and pork (white). All items were extremely tasty, and the spicy levels were perfection. Only there whem you ate the item and then disappears. Nothing lingering too long. Rice was nice and sticky. The tofu was silky, but not mushy. My favorite was the bokchoy in the beef noodles. Still crunchy! Will most definitely recommend and return!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“Best $20 pho you can ask for, and the smoothies are airy light and wonderful. I got the chicken pho, it was incredibly delicious, I’m so full, yet I feel refreshed and not lazy or fat, fresh veggies with pho hits the spot especially when it’s at 54!! Well done!“

“The lychee Boba tea was on point. It was such a nice place. Got two more for my wife and daughter. And the prices are good. Boba tea almost anywhere cost about the same. Taichi bubble tea superior to the rest. And love that the kiosk gives me an option to how much sugar added. Coming back soon.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“First time visiting Wonder Cleveland Park as a tourist, and I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to order. John was really helpful and walked us through the different menus and the self-ordering setup. I liked that you can order from multiple restaurants all in one place, which makes it perfect for indecisive groups or people who all want different things. One person can get a salad, another can get a burger, and someone else can grab pizza, all in the same order. We tried the lime salt and Royal Greens, and it was a great experience overall.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I ordered the Passion Mango Green Tea and wow — this drink is absolutely amazing! The flavor is bold, tropical, and incredibly refreshing. What really sets it apart is the green tea base — you can actually taste real jasmine in it, which gives it this delicate, fragrant depth that you don’t usually find in boba drinks.
I customized mine with regular ice, 50% sugar, mango jelly, coconut jelly, and mango pop — and every sip was perfectly balanced. The toppings added such a fun texture without overwhelming the drink. The mango pop was a delightful little burst of flavor!
The shop itself is clean, modern, and the service was quick. My order was ready right on time. If you haven’t tried the Passion Mango Green Tea yet, stop what you’re doing and go get one. Easily one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time!“

“I love the food and service here, but I wish there was the option to control the ice levels in our drinks at the kiosks. Because ice is required, sometimes they put too much ice to where I can't reach the boba with my straw. Otherwise, great place to get boba tea and filling food.“

“Excellent tea excellent service!!“

“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“

“My go-to boba place for Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea! It tasted amazing as usual. Service is a little slow because they’re understaffed even on weekends. The tables were not very clean and atmosphere felt a little bit dense, but their boba drinks are delicious nonetheless. Note that this location is priced higher than other locations.“

“Such an amazing place - will always come back!

It is an owner-run place, and the owner is just a wonderful human being. When my friend sent a package to my place, it got erroneously delivered to Luna Hall. The owner called my friend proactively, and since she wasn't in town to pick it up, he even kept it at a safe place for several days before she could pick it up. This was a genuine act of kindness. Many others wouldn't have bothered, just deposed the package or used it for themselves. We were impressed by the integrity and good character, and will recommend this place simply for this reason: I am sure the same care and diligence go into preparing the food and running this place.“

“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..“

“Had a magnificent time hanging out and grabbing some good food and an even better drink from this place. I got pork soup dumplings and won ton soup with a mango green tea to drink. Everything was amazing! Service was great and I had a really enjoyable time.“
