Juice Bar & Smoothies •
“The absolute BEST smoothies I have ever had! They are so addicting that I end up getting one after every single workout (every day) the service is top tier as well. These smoothies are so good I see people come to the gym just for a smoothie without even working out!! Definitely a must try if you live in the area or workout at the gym! Can’t recommend this place enough (every single person I’ve told to try this has said they’re the best smoothies)“
“Awesome Che! Stopped in after grabbing lunch in the area, and my friend and I were floored by the warm service and community feel. I got the smashed coconut dessert and my friend got the Malaysian dessert and both were awesome!! A great option for those looking for a post-lunch sweet treat.“

“Just what I was looking for. They are so nice and helpful. I did a 3 day cleanse and the products they have are on point! I lost 5 pounds which gave me the reset I needed. I have also tried their food and other smoothies, everything is good and healthy!“
“Today was my birthday so I stopped by for the free drink and they went above and beyond as you see from the photo. I forgot to take a picture of the side, but they did a double cup and put syrup and sprinkles so you could still see it and it didn’t mix into the drink. They definitely helped making this birthday amazing thank you so much Dutch bro team!!!!“
“Never been disappointed with the drinks I've gotten here, and I pinky promised the barista I wouldn't lie if I were dissatisfied. The service is amazing, my usual barista recognized me only the second time I went there, unfortunately I never remembered to ask her name :(. But I 100% recommend this place, I haven't seen my usual barista there for a while but everyone is so friendly and awesome, the drinks and food are sooo good!“
“Tried Nutrition Plus for the first time today and the experience was great! Not only was the tea I ordered delicious, but the customer service was also amazing! Isabel was very helpful in deciding what I wanted to try – there are so many delicious looking options! Will definitely come back in the future ?“
“Some of th best boba tea I've had, they used actual tea for most of their drinks and not powder like a lot of places. Ill be back for sure. Highly recommend. Cashier person was super friendly. Not sure if this is by design but nowhere to sit inside so thats a little unfortunate.“
“this is one of my brother and i’s go to boba spots. my favorite drink is brown sugar fresh milk or the strawberry matcha. one of the workers there named hansen was really helpful and got our drinks prepared very fast. can’t wait to try more from diy tea lab!!!“
“I visited the Kent/valley location and the Employee was very friendly and welcoming. My blood orange energy drink was made perfectly and the burritos were even better than expected. We got the chorizo and bacon. Definitely will visit again!Vegetarian options: Pastries, veggie burritos, veggie sandwichesDietary restrictions: Multiple milk alternatives, vegetarian and meat options, healthy optionsParking: In gas station parking lot“
“Such an authentic dining experience! I really enjoyed the special Pho, very rich beef broth flavor and tender cuts of meat. We also tried their shrimp toast-- crunchy and super creamy. Also don't forget to get yourself a drink, they have a good variety of options, they were just right amount of sweetness and strong coffee flavor. Staff were helpful! One of the best Viet restaurant in town! Can't wait to try out the rest of their menus.“
“And we stopped here haphazardly on a snowy Wednesday night and were we thankful we did. We tried the chicken, shredded beef, Carnitas, and Carne Asada, and all meats were equally delicious. Would 100% be back again. Pickled carrots are delicious.“
“This Bobalust Tea House location is actually pretty close to home and its always popping! Sometimes customers are spilling out of the store because the location is a bit smaller than Kirkland. Overall, customer service is pretty good. I asked a few questions and I ended up getting a Green Thai Tea & the OG milk tea with 0% sweetness. If you are unsure about the the sweetness level you can always ask for a sample, they are usually able to provide that as long as they are not super busy. 0% sweetness was actually just right for the OG Milk tea, so I'm glad I was able to try it out first! We got regular ice level and with boba and the drink was good! Boba was excellent consistency, more on the chewy side, but not hard in the middle or anything. I would say the tea doesn't have a super strong tea flavor, its a little more on milky side, but still really good. I personally like my boba tea with a stronger tea flavor, but I do enjoy to change it up every once in a while.I do wish they had the small cubes of chewable, slushee ice inside their drinks. I noticed that the Kirkland location does this and its a bit more fun to drink and I like being able to sip up ice with the straw as you get to the bottom of your drink.They have lots of different drink options, great for all boba lovers. I think next time I'll have to try the pure tea options for a less milky / heavy drink. Good thing they are close to us, so plenty of opportunity to get more boba at Bobalust!“
“So many drink options! Usually when I pass by these type of drink stores they only have the fruit or milk teas... BUT!! They have coffee drinks including the egg coffee which is harder to find in Kent/ south center area compared to Seattle It was in an open lid cup so it was hard to mix it well- very bitter in the beginning. But as some of the ice melted and the cream mixed it it was so good! Next time I will definitely ask for a sealed top if possible so I can shake it up well“
“Pork Belly Sandwich is “expletive” incredible! Staff is so friendly and inviting, store is immaculate, but most importantly the food is incredibly good. Fresh soft French bread, fresh veggies, and the meats are juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I have had almost everything on the menu now and never had a bad bite. The smoothies are on point, I always get mine without sweetener, the avacado berry smoothie is the ?. Boba for those who like that. Can’t prop this place up enough, really special little shop. You can tell the owners are passionate about what they are serving. Love love love ❤️“
“Quick, easy, sweet staff and sweeter drinksLove the foodLove the priceIf you got $10 I'd say make a meal out of a smoothie of your choice and enjoy your day.Adding modifications to smoothies comes off easily. For those in a rush within a couple minutes you're in and out with a tasty healthy drink for any lifestyle from gaining/losing weight to getting a boost on your day or even just for those looking for something to fit there craving emerald city smoothie has it all“
“Sweetest owner and culinary crew of all time! Great ambiance and THE best ingredients without any pretentiousness. You can’t go wrong with the menu and DON’T sleep on their breakfast sandwich and juice bar when you need an immunity boost!!! ????? ?“
“I was having a bad day. My car broke down, and I had to wait for a tow truck. I saw dutch Bros coffee and decided to get a coffee. I told the 2 kids working what was going on, and the young man working said I can't really do much to help u, but I can buy u a coffee. So sweet. I live 50 miles from this coffee stand. But I will go out of my way to come back any chance I can. The coffee was so delicious. I wish I had caught your name. Ty for making my bad day better.“
“First, I must admit - I LOVE smoothies! Emerald City Smoothie (ECS) is by far my favorite spot for one, and I frequent several locations throughout the county each week to enjoy them. I specifically picked the Tukwila location (even though there was a closer one to us) because they consistently make great smoothies and their staff are very friendly.We had a staff meeting of 20+ people to serve breakfast to. We wanted to create a 'make your own acai bowl' bar for staff. Martin (ECS) was fast to respond, extremely accommodating, and very helpful throughout the entire process. He hooked us up with the bowl bases in larger containers for easier transporting, their yummy granola, and all the bowls and silverware needed. We bought all the fruits for the toppings. Martin helped to build a package that met our food needs as well as our smaller budget.Upon pick up, the bowls were all ready and packed up at the agreed upon pick up time, the consistency was perfect, and the flavor was great! The team thoroughly enjoyed the bowls. We have several ECS fans on our team and they were so happy to be able to enjoy the real deal for an acai bowl. We not only impressed them but also made new fans out of those who hadn't had an acai bowl or ECS. Thank you for helping to bring more variety and creativity to our staff meeting menu. We will definitely be back!“
“Clean sugar cane machine and fresh avocado for avocado smoothieSpring rolls legitimately tasted like our home made spring rolls, so we give that a 9/10. Food on the pricey side for what you get but it's definitely delicious. Wish the portion was a bit larger...Service was ok...they got our order wrong and was quick to fix the mistake and made up for it. Took a bit of time to get our food, seemed like they only have 1 cook in the kitchen. Fries were made just right, hot and crunchy. Ambience - it's near the beach so got a fresh relaxed beach vibe. I'm more impressed with the clean sugar cane machine and feel re-assured I'm eating at a clean facility based on how clean they keep their sugar cane machine and their working areas.“
“Best plant base cafe I’ve ever been to!They have gluten free waffle, toast , smoothie, açaí bowls, and hot drinks as well. Everything on their menu is made from scratch and worth trying.The environment in there is amazing but it does get loud due to blender. The workers are so uplifting, nice and helpful as well. I do recommend online ordering for anyone who is on a time crunch.“
“Always tasty. I stop in here a lot. There are a couple of staffers that will remember your order after just two visits. And they are pretty fast.It's a small space with nothing flashy or unexpected.Parking: Connected to a shopping center with lots of parking.“
“This place is amazing!! I come on the weekdays and have the quickest service. Weekends are a little slower, which is understandable because they are extremely busy. Definitely worth the wait, considering good bowls take time! When I’m in a rush I order online and it is always ready when I arrive.“
“I strongly recommend this BobaLust location. I have visited this location multiple times, and it is always clean and chill. The service, especially, is excellent: the folks working there have been super welcoming and nice every time I have visited. The BobaLust location is my go-to for bubble tea in Burien!“

“TRA is one of my favorite places to get boba. I'm there w/my lil puppy at least once a week with friends to catch up and expose my puppy to different people/environments and see his friends!Staff at TRA are super friendly and communicative. They promote a cool atmosphere and have some cool choices in music.There's not much seating, it does seem like a place where they want you to pick up and mosey out, with one lil bench to sit and wait for drinks to come outs. Is another bench or two for larger groups that may want to linger inside in the cold and not keep others from sitting while waiting a future?Anyway - TRA is great. I don't plan on modifying my order anytime soon and I can only get it at TRA. :)Parking: If you park at the nearby park you can get a drink and walk along the water! :) No dogs allowed at the park tho (bummer).Otherwise - free street parking is pretty limited.There is a paid garage down the street on the left which has a nice license plate registration system so once you get setup you don't have to fuss with parking apps etc. Not free tho, so look for free options at the park or on the street :)“
“This is my go to boba place when I lived in the Bay Area. I’m so happy that they opened a branch in the Seattle area and everything tastes just as good. Their popcorn chicken is the best!! Juicy, crunchy, lots of flavor! It’s a must-try. Their other snacks are delicious as well. I’m also a fan of their rose milk tea and strawberry milk tea. It’s definitely a solid place to get boba and snacks. Not to mention the excellent customer service! Only thing I would suggest is to add more colorful and fun decor to the white walls. I remember the Bay Area branch having plants and posters for decor which gave the place a happier and more lively feel. Regardless, I will be back soon!Kid-friendliness: Saw many kids there. They love the drinks and snacks.“
“Cloud Cafe is amazing! I’ve literally been 10 times in the past 6 months. I either get one of the vermicelli bowls or the Pho. Both are absolutely delicious. I love coming here…. The staff are all nice, accommodating and always smiling. I totally appreciate all of them. Sooo.. I have a valid excuse to why I don’t have food pics…. The problem is the food is so good that I can’t wait to dive right in. Next time I go I will update with food pics. lol. Anyhow…. It’s a must try cafe. Love it!!!Vegetarian options: There are a few optionsParking: It’s there!!! Just gotta find it !Kid-friendliness: Yup. My kids love itWheelchair accessibility: For sure!!!“
“nice little boba shop, gets really busy though and it’s small. we waited in front of the register and the employees passed by us multiple times without taking our order or telling us we can order at the kiosk but we ended up ordering from the kiosk. the coconut smoothie was good but even with less ice there was big chunks of ice in it and some boba was not ready and tasted weird“

“strawberry dragonfruit sugar cane juice and coconut smoothie is really good! i also like the seating area, it really reminds me of vietnam. it kind of takes a bit to get your drinks because they’re so busy because it’s so popular but i don’t “
“One of the things I appreciate about this place is they get the order right every time. Roasted milk tea: No sugar, medium ice, with boba. I also like how I'm not waiting an eternity for a single order. Maybe I've been lucky but i'm not waiting too long whenever I'm here and it's usually quiet inside. I highly recommend pairing your drink with their mochi donuts, they've got a good selection. I ended up getting a couple of visually appealing dochis; one with fruity pebbles toppings and one with chunks of chocolate. I'll be hitting this place up the next time I'm looking for some decent boba.“
“This is a cute little Drive-In coffee hut that's on the way to the library for me. It's placed on a main road so the location is convenient, too. All of the staff I have encountered is bilingual in English and Spanish, too. Their menu is insane - coffee and energy drinks that are unique, pretty, and delicious!My go-to items that I order are: - Mexican Mocha (I've tried MANY, and I can say this place has the best ones. No mocha with cinnamon here, folks. Honest to goodness Abuelita flavor.- Strawberry concha. The filling isn't always consistent. Sometimes it's strawberry jam, other times fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Either way, the actual pastry is light, fluffy, and not dry.- Tamales. They have cheese and jalapeño (rajas) which is so hard to find. They are steamed and fluffy, they're great snacks and packed extremely well.Please don't come if you're in a rush or pressed for time. These baristas hand craft everything. They take their time to ensure quality. This is not fast food and you will likely be there for a few minutes, longer if there is a line.“
