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 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 :(“

“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.“

“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. 🧋“

“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 :)“

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

“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 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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“We stumbled upon this afternoon tea spot by chance and ordered a mango cream-topped drink and a brown sugar bubble milk tea. Surprisingly, they tasted pretty good. The atmosphere in the shop was also nice — definitely a place we could come back to 😊“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Smells and tastes amazing“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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. ❤️“

“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“

“I had the Pandan waffles and Taro Milk Tea - delicious! The music and mood in The Moo Bar was calm, fun, and welcoming! This place smells awesome - I love my Dragon Glass! Super great team working here - thanks so much for this amazing service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 💗“
