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!“

“Although a newer player in the banh mi and bubble tea scene relative to some other nearby options, The Boss Tea is my favorite when I'm on the go. The shop is small, but the service is always quick, and the banh mis slap. I've tried them all at this point, and they're all delicious. I always come in saying I won't get bubble tea, but I always walk out with one anyway -- they're hard to resist.“

“Don't Yell At Me is my go-to boba shop with great drinks. I particularly like their Cheese Foam series. The quality is consistently good, and the drinks are always made fresh. The service is also very fast, though atmosphere makes you want to get take-out instead of dine-in.

However, here's the catch: avoid ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash. They add a significant markup to the prices, making your boba fix way more expensive than it needs to be.

Case in point: Pink Lychee Smoothie topped w/ Cheese foam is $6.75 in-store, but $8 on Doordash.

My recommendation: skip the app and order in store.“

“Very delicious food, beautiful space“

“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.“

“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“

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

“The Vietnamese Coffee was- is the best coffee in the world, hands down. However, when Tab milk tea makes it , it becomes the best in the universe. It is authentic, straight from Vietnam. The Thai milk tea is also amazing. Creamy and the perfect pick me up for mid day dilly dallying! You get to choose the sweetness and the boba is the perfect consistency and texture.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

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

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“Tea King is a great spot for boba lovers, especially if you enjoy Thai tea and milk tea pudding. Their Thai tea is strong, creamy, and well-balanced—not overly sweet, with a rich flavor that hits just right. The milk tea pudding is smooth, silky, and infused with their signature tea blend, making it a perfect dessert on its own or as a topping. You can customize sweetness and ice, which is a big plus. The shop is cozy with friendly service, ideal for takeout. If you’re into classic flavors with quality ingredients, Tea King won’t disappoint.“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

“Nice! ⚡ Lighting ⚡ fast service! My order was ready before I could spell the name of the place! ? I ordered a peach ? milk tea with aloe vera and ice and it was delicious! Just the right amount of ice and flavor! Definitely recommend this place when it is not busy or packed!“

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

“$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).“

“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“

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

“Timeless Tea is definitely one of my favorite tea places. Their Mango Pomelo Sago drink is absolutely delicious and refreshing. They also have a great selection of snow ice cream flavors, and their birthday cakes, although a bit pricey, are worth every penny as they are made from fresh fruit( I hope i am not wrong because it tasted like fresh fruits) and taste amazing. I have tried the strawberry snow mochi and mango snow mochi, and both were delicious.“

“Love that they have a variety of different boba“

“i had a great time here, just expected my banh my could have been more crunchy and more flavorly authentic. I ordered beef banh mi, the white sauce devaluated my experience. The coconut coffee was too sweet for me. Lastly, I wished there staffs would not have ghosted me because I am Vietnamese“

“Yum in every way! It was sweet even at 75% sweetness, but not overpowering. You could taste the jasmine tea among the milk and mango still. Mango was great flavored, did not taste artificial. If you do not like sweet I recommend going 50% or 75% because 75% was still pretty sweet. And such an expansive menu with so much to try!! Will definitely be returning.“

“I don’t think people over 35 would like it here - it’s a night club that serves only boba I suppose. Menu confused me so I realize I’m getting old. The 2 bobaristas were helpful 1 was very patient with me and the other was efficient at her job. while I didn’t like the drink they helped me choose… I don’t know how to end this sentence. The choices aren’t basic so if you like exotic boba and a Gen X and older kryptonite environment You might love this place 🤷‍♂️“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I got the Ube Black Tea with Taro Ball and half sugar. Even with half sugar it’s still really good—I love the Taro extras. Happy lemon has lots of different options you can choose from and their bubble waffles are always good! Give it a try.“

“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!🥰😍“

“Adorable cafe, with amazing dessert and drinks. The raindrop cake was what drew me to this particular cafe out of all the dessert places in Seattle, although it was aesthetic, the matcha flavor one was okay, I didn’t find it too special, the matcha was good quality though. I also ordered jasmine milk tea with boba, as well and the mango coconut smoothie, both were as good as I expected. My favorite is the glass cup with cute designs that comes with your drink, good for the planet and worth the extra 75 cents.“

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

“I dined in here and got a strawberry crepe cake as I was in a cake mood. This did not disappoint. I don’t see this item on their official website or yelp, but I believe it is on their instagram and DoorDash. I appreciated the wide array of dessert options and hospitable staff.“

“My favorite bubble tea in Seattle!!“

“I had a hankering for udon soup, and Grain House delivered (and then some). The beef was good quality, and they went to the effort of packaging the soup separately from everything else so the noodles didn't get soggy. The basic house salad was also very affordable ($2.50) and delicious.

When I came here last August, I got the Crazy Sandwich cut roll and it was also delicious. And it came in the form of adorable little triangle sandwich slices. 10/10 would eat here again.“

“#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.“

“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!“

“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).“

“Amazing! I had the peach fruit tea at 50% sweetness (the perfect amount) and it was delicious. The peach in the tea was clearly fresh and juicy, not artificial fruit preserves or anything. The tea was delicious. And for how much it cost? Amazing quality. Do not hesitate to go!“

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

“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!“

“Best milk tea value in the immediate vicinity. Tea is consistently good enough and usually ready within 2-3 minutes.

It's obviously mass produced and the tea doesn't have an exceptionally strong tea flavor. However, again, value - they still offer the wider cups vs the skinnier ones offered by many tea places these days.“

“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!“

“Very reasonably priced bahn mi. Good crunchy bread and fair portions. They dont skimp or overstuff.

This is more of a to go spot.

Nice menu and nice peeps. Have a large tea menu too.

Would have preferred a more authentic grill taste. But thats just me.

This is in the middle road of bahn mi with room to keep growing.

Would like to see a standout bahn mi here but i would definitely go back.

I am a bahn mi critic so keep that in mind.

I say go try it out. Its good and cheap on the go lunch breakfast or dinner.“

“Delicious lychee tea. I got it 3/4th sweet but would probably do full next time, was very refreshing. We also got the multi layer peach at half sweet and it was really good but next time we would probably go 1/4 sweet, as it was still really sugary. Overall it was 9/10 would go back again and try more.“

“Went during opening time and it was busier than i expected, however, the staff was very kind and they were very fast with our order. We got multiple drinks and even the Rice Roll. The drinks were delicious the roll was great and filling! The place was well decorated and it seemed to have very relax atmosphere. Overall my experience was very positive I highly recommend it :)“

“Fantastic poke, hands down one of our new favorite spots while out and about for work on our ambulance.“

“Avocado Smoothie!☆♡☆ Passion fruit smoothie!“

“My absolute favorite Happy Lemon location! The staff are all lovely and helpful, and get orders out in a timely manner despite how busy it gets inside the shop. I always order the Strawberry GT/SC 30% sugar after one of the employees recommended it to me. Thank you for the yummy drinks! And hope to see more promos like the Genshin one in the future :))) !“
