50 Best Bubble Tea in Seattle

“Today, I happened to pass by this yogurt shop, stopped and walked in. I ordered a cup of strawberry and a cup of mango. It really tasted like a fairy. I was surprised by this. There is still such a delicious yogurt in bellevue. I will come again in the future!“

“I had a great experience at Slurp Station Aburasoba. The noodles were chewy and well-seasoned, and the chashu was juicy and packed with flavor. The sauce had a nice balance of savory and richness without being too heavy. Service was efficient and staff were friendly. The dining area was clean and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal. I would definitely come back again.“

“Whoever started this place recognized an opportunity for a late night bubble tea shop. All the other ones are closed long before this one closes (which is at 2am). I'm glad we at least have an option for late night beverages.

The tea itself is decent and reasonably priced relative to other boba stores. Not as good as heytea or molly tea but it's also not priced like those.“

“Five star experience at Tab Milktea. We went there for boba and was really impressed. The customer service was great friendly welcoming and helpful. We ordered the Jazz Milk Tea and the Orange Cinnamon Milk Tea and both were excellent with unique well balanced flavors and the boba was great as well! We also thought it was really cool that the shop is located in a ghost kitchen which is a creative concept. Easy pickup great service and delicious drinks. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it. 🧋“

“very clean and nice environment customer service is awesome definitely recommend for family and friends“

“The salad bar is great, every smoothie I've ever had has been delicious, and the soup is absolutely worth a 12 minute walk each way in the winter. Plus everyone who works there is great :)“

“Not only did they help me clean up and get bandaged after I fell and injured my knee and hands -- but they also made me FREE NEW DRINKS afterwards, since my fall made me spill the previous drinks I purchased.

These people are incredibly kind, incredibly generous and incredibly caring -- definitely will recommend going to this wonderful place, and their teas are delicious!“

“flavorful bubble tea and lots of delicious Vietnamese food options!“

“MACU is a famous Taiwanese boba place and I am glad it has reached the Seattle area. One thing that makes this boba shop different from its competitors is that it has seasonal drinks. Their summer festival drinks, such as the King Mango Smoothie or Bobo Mango Smoothie, are extremely popular picks. They also have autumn drinks like the Chi Chi Grape Smoothie and Bobo Grape Smoothie. If you follow them on social media, they always give recommendations and updates for their seasonal menu. I highly recommend checking their page before going there.

The layout inside is also quite good. There is a lot of room for sitting and they even provide Jenga pieces which helps create a welcoming atmosphere to hang out with friends or to have a quiet space to study. The level of customization is also quite high. However, I would recommend ordering in person rather than through a screen because the screens can sometimes limit your options.

I went during the summer and chose items from the regular menu instead of the seasonal one. I picked the Chi Chi Golden Leaf Tea and the Honey Lemonade. The Golden Leaf Tea is almost premium. The flavor of the tea hits you well and it has a unique Oolong taste. It feels light but the flavor is quite strong even with minimal sugar. The Chi Chi topping was delicious, though I felt the portion was a bit small compared to what I am usually served. As for the Honey Lemonade, the balance between citrus and sweet mixed quite well and provided a refreshing aftertaste.

I personally feel that their fruit menu is much more appealing compared to their regular tea menu. I would definitely recommend trying the Chi Chi topping with the fruit smoothies, such as strawberry or matcha. Compared to other boba places, I can strongly say that their fruit and citrus menu is much fresher. Overall, I would say this place is worth it for the seasonal items. The regular menu does not stand out as much, but the drinks with fresh fruit are excellent compared to competitors.“

“roast pork banhmi sooo good! drinks are on point so are the macaroons.“

“They serve their top 10 popular flavors- All drinks are flavorful. You get a choice of sweetness. My favorites are Jasmine and Matcha drinks. Will be back to try some more. :)“

“Really good sandwiches. They take a bit of time to make so order a bit more ahead of time than you'd think, assume the pickup time listed on delivery apps will be at least 5 min too soon, or visit on a nice day when you won't mind the wait.“

“100/10, so good, be patient if they are making something—they put a lot of prep and love and want things to be fresh for us 💖 Get the street noodles and a side of peanut sauce, pour in and stir with some spring rolls on the side :D
You’re welcome! Also Taro Milk Tea forever 💜✨“

“I love this boba spot and have been going here for over a year now! They have a good selection of drinks, and you can customize them - ice level, sweetness, and they offer oat milk as an alternative which is great for someone like me who is lactose intolerant. My only complaint is that they rotate their menu, so it can be difficult at times to find a go-to because it may disappear from the menu. But of course, that is personal preference and you may enjoy this! Overall, I highly recommend! :)

My recommendations:
- Classic boba milk tea
- Brown sugar espresso boba oat latte (sometimes not on the menu)
- Cosmic apple oolong tea (seasonal)
- Mango jasmine tea
- Strawberry jasmine tea“

“The lady was very patient with my indecisiveness and gave me a lot of good suggestions, the service was very good! I got the strawberry matcha and an ube mochi donut and apparently since it was Wednesday I received a free one! I liked the ambience as well. Everything was delicious.“

“A cute small place where you can quietly sit perfect for a first date or stopping by on a walk. Employees have always been friendly.

Way better than another Starbucks. If you are not used to ordering Boba, just ask! It's a sweet treat and you'll be glad you did.“

“They have some food items that you don’t usually see at other boba shops. Their popcorn chicken is honestly the best in town. They also have fried rice balls, which I’ve never seen at any other place in Seattle. Everything we tried both food and drinks was amazing!!! I’d especially like the mango yogurt and matcha. Their matcha was really good even better than most matcha places I’ve tried. I forgot to take pictures, but the drinks looked really beautiful too. This place has already become part of my weekly routine.“

“Personally this is my favorite boba place in U-District, the drinks are unique and actually taste high quality especially compared to other choices nearby. The guy I always see working there is super cool and friendly, would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try boba that is different from the norm, haven't tried anything on the menu that I don't like. Try the blue lagoon.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, barista-type individual crafting of drink“

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“My favorite bubble tea spot so far. The pearls are consistently fresh and delicious, and the traditional milk tea at 50% sweetness and less ice is great. I do agree that the tea flavor is a bit mild but I still really like it. This has redeemed some bad experiences I've had at other spots.

Also nice in-store vibes, quick service, and average prices for bubble tea in this area.“

“It's a boba place. Flavors are on par with most other boba places around Udistrict and prices are fair. Not much to be said here aside from loving the atmosphere of the place, makes working on my laptop here a nice and calming experience. If you need a place to sit down and get consistently good tea, this is your place.“

“Spacious and great atmosphere. Fun and delicious selection of drinks. We got the Ube and Strawberry Milk teas. Both were great.“

“Love that they have a variety of different boba“

“It really lives up to its name — the Best tea shop in Seattle. This is the only place I go. Not only is the boba tea amazing, but the ice cream is also incredible. I’m leaving this review because I was reminded of it while enjoying the oolong tea ice cream. Thank you!“

“I used to not go to happy lemon because I wasn't fond of the drinks, I went to the location in Bellevue I believe. But when I moved to this area , I thought to try it out again, I got the regular milk tea with pudding and taro balls. Really Good! They also had a strawberry cheesecake drink (something along those lines), super good! The inside of this location is really cute too! Happy Lemon went from one I never go to, to one I'd happily go to! Def come try their drinks.“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

“Great tasting milk teas, just like in Hong Kong!!“

“Smells and tastes amazing“

“I went to the Yifang in Chinatown for a black tea latte❤️, also purchased a cup sleeve for $4.99, the service was real nice and friendly👍, highly recommend everyone to check it out. I heard there's going to be a Disney cup sleeve this summer, really looking forward to it!🥰😍“

“Ordered via kiosk, which was easy and fast, but you can also order at the counter. We had taro and earl grey boba tea, and a strawberry milkshake, all with oatmilk. All were tasty and the boba was nice and chewy! It took a while to get our drinks but only because we ordered multiple things and more customers came in immediately after us, and there was only one employee working. Not an unreasonable wait though!“

“My favorite bubble tea in Seattle!!“

“Very delicious food, beautiful space“

“Xing Fu Tang is more than just a bubble tea shop—it’s a fun place with great drinks and cool art by a young female artist. It’s also perfect for taking photos! Their Brown Sugar Boba Milk is my favorite, but the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Crème Brûlée is the real star. The caramelized top cracks as you sip, mixing sweet and creamy flavors. The boba is handmade, giving it a fresh, chewy texture. Their fruit teas are naturally sweet and refreshing, and you can add gold leaf to make your drink feel extra special. The sea salt crème foam waffle is a must-try! It’s crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the mix of sweet and salty of the dipping sauce is delicious. Plus, you can draw a number for a fun fortune when you visit. It’s a little pricey, but the quality and experience are worth it. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Coche Valley Dessert Cafe is a really nice, cozy spot with amazing food and desserts. The cafe is almost always busy, which says a lot—but it’s absolutely worth the wait. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and the desserts are especially decadent and indulgent without being over the top. A great place to treat yourself or catch up with friends if you don’t mind a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“The monster boba is so good! It was perfect c❤️❤️❤️“

“Delicious custard taiyaki and toffee coffee. I did a last minute order from here, and wow; both things were amazing. ❤️“

“This is my favorite milk tea shop! I absolutely love their Persimmon Milk Tea, Avocado Milk Tea, and Camellia Latte — all of them are so delicious. The service is always warm and friendly, and the drinks are consistently amazing. Please keep up the great work!“

“Best bubble tea in Seattle! One of two US TP Tea locations. About a 30/45 min wait and a couple kinks but to be expected from a soft opening. Much better than the 4 hour waits in Cupertino when it first opened! Will be my go-to spot“

“Such a cute and cozy spot. The drinks are smooth, well balanced, and really satisfying. The presentation is adorable and honestly makes you smile before the first sip. The space has a warm, aesthetic vibe that’s perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. Definitely a place I’d come back to again. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.“

“Came here on a whim a year ago with no expectations. My go to at any boba spot is always whatever’s their signature milk tea. I ordered the regular milk tea 100% sugar and was pleasantly surprised.

Stopped by to try it again today and it still hits after my first sip. Also tried their green milk tea 50% sugar which is very fragrant. Unassuming little cafe, don’t underestimate it if your bias is milk tea.“

“i love bubble tea and this is the place to go. the thai tea and the strawberry milk teas are amazing, and whenever i walk by it reminds me that i want a boba. there is also a poke place inside, so when you go there for lunch, you can sip on a milk tea and munch on poke. i would recommend this amazing bubble tea store to everyone. there is also another store in seattle so whichever one you are closer to you could go there.“

“This is my absolute favorite spot to pop in for a casual lunch. It’s a calm, very quiet spot. Super nice for getting a plate of sushi and taking a moment to breathe. I personally will just go in there and prop up my phone, and throw on a youtube video or podcast. The vibe is very similar to a japanese cafe, where you can sit on your own, do your own thing, and there is no judgement for wearing headphones or being on a laptop. Also nice to do work in. Overall, this place is 10/10, they’re always super nice, and I will keep recommending this place to people whenever I can. Thanks Grain House!!“

“One of my favorite tea places on the ave! As their name states, they specialize in fruit tea. The service is quick with little interaction which great for an introvert like me. The sizes are all great and the place is really affordable with fun board games for guests.“

“Really enjoyed my bubble tea here! I got the sun moon lake black tea. The pearls were fresh and perfectly chewy, and the drinks were well balanced and flavorful. The shop itself has a really cool vibe and is a great place to hang out. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“We loved the unique sweet taste and the look of the coffee. Great combo!“

“#23 is super tasty! It's not on the menu but you can still order it. I love this place and the owner is super nice.“

“Authentic Cantonese Dessert Spot!

We ordered the ginger milk pudding and steam milk pudding, both were silky and delicious. The must-tries are definitely the mango rice roll, coconut pudding, and mango pomelo sago. Generous portions, great prices—we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Just delicious food! And, I thought the staff was very friendly and courteous. The establishment was clean and I will be returning to order food from them soon!“

“came across this spot coincidentally on a pop-up day so had good matcha and baked treats with a friend, place smelled amazing, the workers started a wholesome conversation bringing everyone together at the shop, and you will feel good being surrounded by the girly aesthetic 💗“
