50 Best Bubble Tea in Seattle

“I don't have great pictures of it but this banh mi is packed! It might costs a little more than the delis in Little Saigon. But it's easily more filling and a better quality. I got the classic with the deli cold cuts, pate, veggies, and pork floss. How neat. Never had pork floss with them before. Not sure if there was cilantro but definitely would have enjoyed it.

I couldn't finish it in one sitting and ate half before work. And the other half at work.

Would definitely come here again.“

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

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

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

“Love that they have a variety of different boba“

“Loved my visit here! The drinks were cool and refreshing, just perfect for the day. I was especially impressed with the beautiful decoration of the store—it created such a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Definitely a place worth coming back to!“

“Randomly stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for crepes.

The crepes were good, but their dessert toast stole the show. It was very impressive looking and tasted great. I will be back!

Edit: Came back and had Bingsu (new favorite item from them), Egg Benedict croissant, and soufflé pancakes. Never had soufflé pancakes before so I expected them to be a little more fluffy like a traditional soufflé, but still good. Just a little expensive for pancakes.“

“Very delicious food, beautiful space“

“Friendly staff and quick service on a Tuesday lunch rush hour. Came over here after a brunch over at new spot Calibri. Got the strawberry matcha, and it wasn’t too sweet or too bitter. I would probably not get it cold again, but it was good. Stroller friendly and stayed awhile (:“

“Decent broth (does have MSG) , they do jave other MSG free options ok the menu. The friend rice can use some help bit overall it's decent.“

“I really enjoyed GAGA tea! I went with my roommate and we could actually taste the tea flavor, which many other boba places are missing now. The cup is very sturdy and the environment was super cute. I would definitely come again! Only downside is the limited seating and lack of a bathroom :(“

“The owners are the nicest Chinese couple I’ve ever met! We were planning to get some fruit at a grocery store, but it was already too late. We went in this store around 9 pm, just to ask where the nearest open grocery was, and they kindly offered us some free fruit! We ended up buying a fancy yogurt bowl and left extra tip, but still, the amount of fruit they gave us far exceeded our expectations.

BTW, we tried the yogurt after getting back to the hotel, and it was sooo good! Totally refreshing! With a 4.7 rating and 250+ reviews, this place is a strong recommendation!

P.S. I know most people online are kind, but I’ve seen others take advantage of good hearted folks. What happened to us was unplanned, and we DID PAY EXTRA to show appreciation for their generosity. I sincerely hope no one will take advantage of their kindness by expecting free food or criticizing them for not offering more. I just wish that good people don’t have to suffer for being generous. Peace!“

“We came from Yakima Washington and my kids and myself loved it.“

“Third time being here and they seems to be consistent.

Good place to grab a bowl of dry noodle. The salt is my favorite flavor as it reminds me of bakmi back home. Their chasu is one of the best in the game if you compare it to Kizuki, Danbo, and Santouka.

Portion is also great. I reccomend following their instruction to use the vinegar and chili oil and adjust as you go. Definitely try it baked without anything first though.

It's self service. Order and pay through qr code on table or you can talk to the cashier.

The place is clean and simple. Nothing to complain about“

“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 :)“

“I have no idea why this place doesn’t have more reviews or higher ratings because this was hands down the best shaved ice I’ve ever had. I’ve been to countless spots from Hawaii to California, and this easily makes my top five. The shop owners were incredibly kind and still welcomed us even though they were closing in five minutes. The texture of the ice was perfect, and the toppings were super generous. I wish I lived closer because I’d be here every week.

In the photo I got the mango shaved ice bingsu. So so good!“

“Nice little boba tea shop in the neighborhood. Came here on a whim and came away satisfied.

I ordered the roasted oolong with boba and cheese foam. The roasted oolong was very good, not bitter at all and nice roasted flavor to it. I got it at 30% sweetness and that was enough for me. Cheese foam was good nothing crazy but the boba was not the greatest. Kind of an average boba that wasn't very fresh. Still enjoyed my drink and would visit again.“

“I had the Bún bò Huế and it was delicious! I had beansprouts, plenty of leafy green veggies packed for me and plenty of chili oil and any sauce I may need. The meatballs were tender and juicy, and there was plenty of meat. I loved it. I also had the jasmine milk tea with grass jelly and the tea was strong and very tasty with a hint of vanilla. I would definitely recommend this place, it's convenient and they offer stella customer service. Would definitely recommend ordering from here!“

“MACU Tea at UW is easily one of the best bubble tea spots around! The fruit is always fresh, and you can really taste the difference in every drink. The service is quick, efficient, and super friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s the perfect spot to grab a refreshing drink between classes or to enjoy with friends. Highly recommend! The owner Christie is so nice, too!“

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

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

“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 💜✨“

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“What a gem boba spot! We walked by and stopped by this cute, clean boba shop. Very friendly kind staff and fast service. My hubby who is a boba snob loved the pearls saying they have satisfying chew. I got iced matcha with oatmilk and that was very refreshing without being too sweet. Would come back!“

“$10 minimum for credit card (without fee) which isn't hard to hit, seeing most drinks are almost $6 before taxes.

There was some unruly people in the plaza parking lot. There are seating but due to the location of this place, I don't feel safe for me or the car. I would come back again in broad daylight with others though!

The drinks vietnamese creme brulee coffee drink I got feels standard ( sweeter side, reminds me of coffeeholic drinks). I didn't customize sweetness or ice levels.
The smoothie, you can choose up to 3 fruits so how it tastes will be on you.

The drinks came out fast since we were the only ones there. The place has a slight smell to it, can't really identify what it was ( kind of like a mix of ripe fruit and pancake batter).“

“We love this bubble tea cafe. Everyone is very helpful and the tea is the best!“

“I am absolutely addicted to this place. I took some time to try 2 other bubble tea places nearby & they paled in comparison. The taro slushy & boba is probably the best I’ve ever had.

I also recommend trying something creative they’ve invented: melted brown sugar + boba balls, which makes a taro slushy next level. Highly recommend; come support a small, local business, too <3“

“my little sister introduced me to this place, and i have never looked back. this is the only bubble tea i drink. i love their blended fruit drinks, they taste so fresh. their sago is chewy and my boyfriend likes their boba. this place is a 10/10.“

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

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

“The drinks there are always great and the staff are super friendly. This last time we were there though the music was so loud that patrons couldn't hear their orders being called out. We ended up leaving sooner than we wanted to for somewhere quieter.“

“This place has the best STAFF Team ever! I lost my backpack there, and I realized on the second day. I called the store and they told me they found it and kept it for me! I have a new camera inside, hundreds of cash, and a wallet with IDs! I was so panicked but luckily they found it and kept for me. I am truly grateful and thankful! AND, their matcha burlee and popcorn chicken is amazing!“

“Solid boba experience! I'd say this place is for bubble tea purists looking for simple, yet delicious options. There are a couple of stand out wildcards like the mulberry tea, but otherwise, a very straightforward selection compared to other shops in the area“

“decent boba but the cashier put in her own phone number for my drink's reward points? i did not even get the opportunity to collect my points or rewards because she immediately put in her number without asking me. interesting business practice.“

“Their Taro Mochi Cake is the best cake I have ever had in the world, and I don't mean this lightly.

If I only had $11 left in my wallet and I was stuck between buying this cake, and purchasing groceries I would choose the cake !!“

“Just moved to the area and stumbled upon this cute little shop, and honestly, such a great find! They have a solid variety of boba options. I tried the POG from their seasonal menu and it was so good. Staff were very helpful and friendly too. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Smells and tastes amazing“

“Love and Deepspace collab!! We lined up at least 1hr before the store opened and there were already so many people! We managed to get placed 48 and 49, not sure how many collab items were available. The drinks were pretty good and the line moved quickly.“

“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.“

“Coconut mango boom is the way. It’s legit if you know how much work involved in making this cup you will appreciate the existence of this store….. I did at home and don’t want to make it myself I’d rather pay. You should order ahead with app. When wait in line don’t trust the wait time show on app. Check with stuff time to time yourself . The App is trash which is understandable, as a programmer in this area you should know how hard it is to make it online . They are bobble store would not invest money in the complexity of the app, same time they want to increase through put of customer by allow them order first.“

“not too sweet and very nice staff! they have a nice menu and lots of options! for my first time there i just got classic milk tea and of course, as i always get when an option pudding! i would highly recommend this place i loved it!! the cafe is very cozy and cute and i love the atmosphere 9/10 would definitely come again!“

“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“

“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!“

“Yantea really knows how to hit the spot. The grape slush was super refreshing and not overly sweet — like a fancy grape popsicle in drink form. The iced matcha latte was smooth, creamy, and had a legit matcha kick (none of that fake syrup stuff).“

“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!🥰😍“

“(Food Safety Rating: Excellent)
This place is amazing. The first thing you'll notice before ever ordering is the superb prices. All boba drinks cost $6.35 (24oz is the only size). All boba drinks come with the option for 3 toppings and the drink is amazing. They also have an option to do a percent for the sweetness, which is a great option as some of the drinks can be quite sweet, and they have a good selection of decaf boba drinks. However, it is worth noting that they don't have an option for dairy alternatives.

Of particular interest to me, Seattle Best Tea is great for those of us that don't know a lot about the world of boba as they have signs and explainers posted on the walls in addition to the employee being very helpful. In addition the environment, atmosphere, and cleanliness in the café is top tier. (I would say second in the city only to Baceamp Café and Bar in Capitol Hill, a coffee café.) It's truly a lovely place to relax and unwind. UW Seattle Best Tea is truly one of the best cafés in the city and possibly the best spot for boba in all of Seattle.“

“Omg this place is super cool, staff super friendly, really cool drink selections. If you love Labubu's come get a drink with one on Top!
We had the Strawberry milk tea, Tiramisu Viet coffee, Banana pudding Matcha. 🥰😍
Love the cute keepsake glasses the drink comes in🥰“

“My favorite bubble tea in Seattle!!“

“There are very few bubble tea shops that actually use freshly brewed tea and COMEBUYTEA is one of them. They use giant Teaspresso machines and brew it right in front of you which is neat. If you want authentic taste with actual tea flavor, check out this chain which originated in Taiwan. It’s one of my favorite tea spots and reminds me of my time there.“

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