50 Best Bubble Tea near Bothell

“I've tried a few different drinks here, and they've all been great. Some are a little sweet, so be mindful of that when you order.
There's a lot of customization options and plenty of combinations to try.
The bubble waffles are a fun little treat. You can pull them apart, and they even have dip options.
Sometimes, they are a little busy and don't have enough people to keep up. When they're in a rush, the bubble waffles don't come out as crispy, so they're best ordered when it's quiet.“

“Wow! This is first-class boba tea. Stopped by on a rainy day craving for something warm, I asked for a taro milk tea warm. It really hit the spot! I think the baristas can make most of the drinks warm even if not indicated on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised by the tapioca pearl... it had the perfect chewiness that you just want to keep chewing on it, not just two or three bites, but more like 10-15 bites. And the pearls are not tough at all... they just resist falling apart very well. What a wonderful place to overcome cold and rainy weather... Next time I will save room to try the fried chicken wings.“

“Visited Bamboo Restaurant on a quiet Tuesday afternoon ,not crowded, which gave the place a calm, almost unhurried atmosphere. Service was quick, and the food arrived without delay.

I ordered the #14 pho large. The broth leaned toward ginger and lime, with a light oil finish and a subtle hint of cinnamon, a nod to the traditional spice base. However, it lacked the depth and cohesion you’d expect from a properly slow-simmered pho.

Typically, spices like star anise, cloves, and cinnamon should come together in a balanced, layered way , here, they felt slightly disconnected.
The noodles were thin and cooked well, though fairly neutral in flavor. The meats were a strong point , well-seasoned and prepared correctly, adding needed substance to the bowl.

I also tried the chili oil (saté), and this is where things dropped a bit. It had a heavier, more generic profile — lacking the aromatic depth and freshness you’d expect from a well-crafted blend.

It felt closer to a pre-made, store-bought oil rather than something developed in-house, which took away from the overall experience.

The atmosphere was extremely quiet no music, minimal interaction which made the space feel slightly awkward rather than inviting. Small details were also missing, like basic table spices or salt.

That said, there’s a certain honesty to this place. It has a simple, home-style feel: casual, calm, and straightforward.

At around $20 per person, it sits in a range where a bit more refinement in both flavor and experience would elevate it significantly.
A decent spot if you’re looking for something quiet and uncomplicated — but not quite there if you’re after a deeply traditional pho experience.“

“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.“

“Mustache is THE BEST and we’re so lucky to have it nearby! Occasionally we’ll get boba elsewhere when in other areas. Every single time we end up wishing it were Mustache instead! Their variety and quality cannot be matched!“

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

“Their drinks n pastries are unique that you won’t find it anywhere else. Definitely worth the wait!!!“

“comfy chairs, delicious Boba, delicious chicken and other delicious food. instagram worthy pictures. 2 player street fighter.“

“The line was out the door this weekend for their grand opening. We ordered a Thai iced tea, ube latte, crème brûlée latte, and a classic milk tea. All were great with no disappointments. The owner was very friendly, and the space inside looks very updated with lots of live greenery. We work close by so we’re grateful to have a new hotspot to go to for our boba cravings!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great tea and slushes, and the service is always quick and friendly :)“

“1st time I experienced this place. OMG .we already fallen love with thir food and service 😍 meal we pay is worthier than expected. Kind and friendly service also attracts the people. What ever pictures you see in this website is really true. Once you step in you'll understand and experienced what I'm saying. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I hope they'll never stop this service forever. Thank you 🙏“

“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. :)“

“Solid work or study spot. The atmosphere is a little dingy, but I don't need much to be productive. There are several outlets (consider bringing a long cord, some are a little far from the table).
Also they forgot about my drink and I had to inquire about it, but I didn't mind much.“

“I have tried so many bubble tea cafes but this one is best,I love this place.“

“We have been going for a few times now. It’s been great service with helping Ordering the menu. Fantastic food.“

“Good tea, friendly staff and relaxing, happy environment! Love it!!! Recommend the Golden Tiger!“

“My first time coming here and the boba and tattertots were so good! My friend and I ordered strawberry mango slushy and an oolong milk tea! They were perfectly sweet and the boba was perfectly chewy! The barista was also extremely friendly! Such a good study spot too! Comfortable seating with charging cables and the music is not too loud! Definitely coming back again!“

“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“

“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.“

“I recently went to Ding Tea and was so impressed. The team was so welcoming and they were so patient while I took my time to choose what I wanted from their wide variety of drinks. I tried the Rose Milk Tea with Boba and it was 10/10! My boyfriend got the Monster Bubble Tea which was also DELICIOUS! I also really love the vibe of the shop, it is so clean and classy. If you’re a true bubble tea lover, you need to check this spot out.“

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed having dinner there. they have traditional coffee table with chairs like when I had dinner in Taiwan. Toddler friendly cuz she doesn’t like to sit still, with coffee table she can enjoy the meal while swinging around. Braised pork rice 滷肉飯 was our favorite. Husband can’t help ordering second one after having first bowl.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“This place is amazing!!! One of the only boba places that is open late on the Eastside. Their menu is full of variety and great options for people who want desserts. They also have desserts such as cake and shaved ice. Check this place out!“

“I tried the matcha smoothie and added coconut jelly—such a perfect combo! The flavor was refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. The staff here are always super friendly and helpful with any questions I have. Great service and great drinks. Definitely coming back again!“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

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

“I've always walked past Braganza outside, and the moment I walked into the wonderful establishment I was greeted by a beautiful, friendly smile from one of the workers named Maddi. She made my drink very quickly and it was so delicious that I would come again just to be served by her. Thank you so much, Braganza.“

“Smells and tastes amazing“

“I was really pleased with the tea here! The employee working was also very helpful in figuring out what level of sweetness I’d like, since they can vary a lot from place to place. I got the spring milk tea, which was really nice, and my husband got the cocoa tea which was really excellent. It was a lovely blend of real cocoa and tea that was surprisingly well balanced and had the perfect level of sweetness. I’ll definitely be getting that one in the future!“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

“Awesome place! Definitely returning“

“We ordered a Szechuan spicy hot pot and a barrel of potato noodles, both of which were very full of flavorful small crispy meat is also very crispy!“

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

“Happy Lemon…I love you!

First, don’t live in PNW any longer. I can’t get a boba to save my desiccated, shriveled up, dry taste buds in Phoenix. So happy to pop in for my Lemon jasmin green tea with Lychee. 30% sugar. Light ice. I’ve missed you!

So sorry super kind boba genius, I was too caught up in the moment to look away from my boba tunnel vision to catch your name. You were kind and friendly you deserve better than that. Oh and the place look so clean and perfect.

I love my drink. I may even have to share with my family tomorrow. What? No they have to get their own. Love them and all…but not enough to share!

Thank you so much for perfect order, super clean store, friendly team member who even explains what the heck salt cheese is (uh forgot already…but maybe cream cheese, whipped cream, something something and a pinch of pink salt), and brightening another PNW day with an awesome drink!“

“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!“

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

“Defintely a local Lynnwood favorite of mine. The drinks here are always so refreshing. They have yummy flavors and tasty bubble waffless too. My favorite waffle cream flavor is cookies and cream!! This happy lemon is located right next to the Alderwood mall so you can do your shopping and get a quick snack too. The people that work here are always so nice!“

“I usually came in for Poke, but finally decided to try out this boba place. Doanh was so friendly and she recommended White Peach Oolong for me since I'm a big fan of Oolong. It's nice to try out something new and unique that other boba places don't have.“

“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.“
