50 Best Bubble Tea in Seattle

“I’m in absolute slurp heaven after eating Slurp Station Aburasoba!! Wow the flavors are incredible, full of umami goodness, and the noodles are springy and fresh. My husband and I shared the Tokyo Ganso Aburasoba and the Shoyu based beef Aburasoba - they are unlike any Japanese noodles we’ve had!

The Tokyo Ganso is a symphony of delicious ingredients all dancing to the same tasty beat. The Parmesan, the poached egg (which was perfect btw), the liquid base and vinegar make this lovely sauce that pairs beautifully with the diced pork chashu. The dish feels jumbo sized, the thicker noodles were so so good, and there’s plenty of chashu pieces. We loved it, it’s insanely unique, a must try!

The Shoyu based beef Aburasoba was also a knock out, slightly more delicate flavors but all working in harmony. The beef slices were super tender, they melted in my chopsticks. The soft boiled egg was still slightly runny yumm. The noodles were thinner than the Tokyo Aburasoba but just as fresh with a nice chew. I also highly recommend it, especially if you want a more classic style flavor.

We ordered to go and the service was wonderful. A very nice server and chef prepared our food quickly and with care, they have nicely branded chopsticks and even put cardboard at the bottom so our to go bowls stayed stable. The restaurant is clean and inviting, with nice background music. Plus they have free parking right in front!

Support local and check out this gem in the university district. Prices are very fair for this quality and authentic Japanese food. My husband and I were sooo happy, we’re foodies and have never had flavors like these!“

“Got a yogurt bowl and it’s BIG! Such a nice and filling treat! The yogurt is refreshing and the toppings were fresh!

You order at the kiosk and the food comes out almost instantly!

You can customize the sweetness on drinks but not for the bowls.“

“Affordable, open late, and fast service. Out of the big variety of unique drinks, I got the avocado cheesy foam slush and it was delicious! I came into Gaga Tea at a busy time yet the worker Kyle worked efficiently and I got my drink quickly. Will definitely come back next time.“

“TAB is my go-to bubble tea shop! I love all of the tea and the owner is such a lovely person. The tea flavors are so rich and the variety is amazing. I especially love the Thai green milk tea and Thai fresh lime. The tea is quite sweet, so I usually get 10% sweetness.“

“I just discovered this place this month and have already been back a second time. Excellent sandwiches, and quite affordable for West Seattle ($10 per sandwich with no additions). So far I've tried the pork, grilled chicken, and meat loaf bahn mi. All great. Will return!“

“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 :)“

“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. :)“

“Haven’t been to this store for a while, and this time I came back and noticed so many new additions, like the new Fragrant Oolong Mango Coconut Frosty, Cosmic Apple Fragrant Oolong, and hot & cozy drinks. The Pragmata event also looks so cool!

I’ll definitely come back to try different flavors. The boba market is so competitive now, so it’s great to see it keep developing, expanding, and bringing in new ideas.“

“First time trying MACU tea! I ordered in the kiosk and it was nice to be able to take my time it look through the many options.

The drinks came out fairly quickly and the store was well-kept. Staff was nice and welcoming.“

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

“No place in Seattle can be recommended more than this. Hi Tea has been my favorite bubble tea place in Seattle for years -- it tastes the most like Hong Kong milk teas, with great snacks (bubble waffles!) and great portions and prices to top it off. Plus consistently fast service and amazing location right across from Capitol Hill Station, there's nothing to complain about - just a fantastic place.“

“My friend wanted to try fluffy pancakes. She picked this place. Overall I will give is 4/5. In ordered customized crepe with strawberry. This place does good job at food presentation. Crepe was just 3/5 because crepe and whipped cream were too plain. What saved it was strawberry and condensed milk. Fluffy pancakes were yummy. Be careful it will crumble when you first cut into it. You have to order first be seated yourself. They only have one table if you have a big party. Street parking, good luck. We came early so we able to order fluffy pancakes before it run out. Staffs were polite and friendly. The decorations were cute.“

“Went to this shop earlier this week. Location is super convenient located near all the shops in Capitol Hill. Space is very clean and welcoming. I got the raspberry mochi donut and vegan Thai tea. The mochi donut was really fresh and texture was nice. I got the Thai tea 75% sugar and it was perfect and the Thai tea flavor was nice. The girl working there was super friendly and helped me pick out a donut and tea. Would totally recommend!“

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

“My favorite bubble tea in Seattle!!“

“My first visit here, definitely coming back. At first I was a bit apprehensive, there was no option for coffee (I could have read the online menu). I opted for a Thai Tea, which I have never tried at a boba shop, and asked for a sea salt foam topping. This was absolutely the most delicious drink inhave ever had, so simple and yet mind blowing. Please support this local shop, staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun and clean.“

“Good fresh tapioca! Food surpassed expectations chicken seasoned with tasty dry rub and sweet potato fries perfectly salted 10/10 definitely will eat /drink here again!“

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

“Absolutely loved the seasonal Ube Pistachio Milk Tea at Tea Addicts! 💜 The ube flavor was creamy and delicious, and the pistachio complemented it perfectly without being overpowering. Such a unique combination and easily one of my favorites!

I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen more people talking about this drink or mentioning it in the reviews. This deserves to be one of the popular drinks at this spot! Definitely worth trying while it’s available — I’d absolutely get it again.“

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“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 💜✨“

“Their new premium jasmine milk tea is fantastic! Recommend getting without boba to ensure the right sweetness.

I initially got it with boba and the staff was very helpful in adjusting my drink and they offered to remake the whole drink!“

“This place has a calming energy to it. Great place to focus and get work done. The staff here were very patient with my indecisive friend and I. Answering all of our questions about the drinks. Andy and team were very kind, well mannered and respectful. Great place!“

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

“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!“

“Love that they have a variety of different boba“

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

“So fresh. My favorite spot to sit and relax alone after work. It’s easy to order and quick and air conditioned. Today I had ikura, Japanese fresh rolls, and a salmon and avocado roll - plus a passion fruit iced tea. Really really good.“

“Smells and tastes amazing“

“I came here during a trip to Seattle with my friends and I got the Strawberry Seduction… Let me tell you I was THOROUGHLY seduced. I understand why it’s called Boba lust. I can see myself marrying that drink. Wife, kids, a mortgage, holding hands when we’re 90 dying next to each other in the same hospital room. Easily the best drink I’ve ever had. It made me float two feet up and two feet forward. I will be returning to this location.“

“The drinks (once you figure out how to order- it’s a horrible menu scheme they are using, I found it completely incomprehensible) a bit sterile in atmosphere tbh and in my visit today all the merch shelves were dusty, and the bar back area looked very disorganized- there are couple of bar height stools available, and you can drink and people watch a little. Drinks are served in a take away from branded GLASS jar w a metal lid, it’s kinda cute but ultimately burdensome and not environmentally friendly, lots of energy to produce and ship and ultimately this kind of glass isn’t really recycled so…. More volume and weight in the trash. But hey, the drinks are instagramably photogenic!“

“Wow, Timeless Tea exceeded my expectations! We tried a few things but the standouts were the Oreo snow mochi and the Mochi Molten Taro cake. The mochi tastes super fresh and chewy. I had never had anything like the Oreo snow mochi before, it was like eating a puffy cloud of whipped cream stuffed with Oreo crumbs. I thought the cake with the mochi would be a little odd but the mochi was so soft, the combination was so good. Everything was not too sweet and delicious. Will definitely order again!“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

“Fragrant Taiwanese Teas with Plenty of Options in Seattle.

Seattle Best Tea offers a wide range of drinks, from fruit teas to milk teas—featuring fruit and flavored teas that really highlight the quality of the tea itself.

With lots of tea bases to choose from and free toppings, it’s easy to customize your perfect drink.“

“We came after we had a
lunch at the nearby restaurant
Tiramisu latte was good, hot one probably better. And the cheese red bean toast was delicious. I expected red bean paste but it was whole red bean with cheese and very gooey. It was good. The only downside is the place is very small, only has a few counter seats facing the wall. But there is a seating area in the back.“

“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.“

“Best strawberry matcha in Seattle! They make a real strawberry puree in house. It tastes like real strawberries (because it is!) and is delicious! All of the drinks at Atulea are excellent and customizable. The baristas are all friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The vibes are also good here. I love coming here for 1:1 meetings or just a cozy place to get some work done. Atulea is a staple in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and I look forward to supporting them for a long time to come!“

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

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

“I’ve visited plenty of times already, and I really like how generous they are with their toppings and fresh ingredients. Every sip is packed with real fruit, which makes the drinks taste super natural and refreshing. I’m especially fond of their mango based drinks and grape flavored ones. I’ve tried quite a few different menu options over time, and none of them have disappointed me so far all the flavors are consistently good. The pricing is pretty reasonable too, it feels fair for the quality you get.The only downside is the parking situation around here. It can be really tricky to find a spot most of the time, which is a bit inconvenient. Other than that, it’s become one of my regular go to places whenever I’m craving fruit tea.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Heard from a friend that this place was really good, so I decided to give it a try. It was pretty good, though I honestly couldn’t tell much difference compared to other places. The atmosphere was nice and it wasn’t too crowded, which made it a pleasant visit.“

“this place is actually so amazing it is my
favorite on the entire planet. their birthday cake ice cream is genuinely delectable and i would kill someone for it. i drove here ~mach 500 in order to get their world renowned strawberry bingsu ice cream and i don’t regret it one bit. their aesthetics are to die for and it’s heart breaking this place isnt even recognized on google maps as a real establishment. the workers are so kind and everyone who steps in here’s mood is lifted tenfold. this is not sponsored or paid for i simply love this beautiful location with my whole heart. i’ve been here 3x this week.“

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

“New favorite lunch spot for Banh Mi! The pricing is incredibly reasonable and the portions are generous! Flavors are amazing I got the roasted duck banh mi (added egg) and guava jasmine tea with aloe vera, total came out to be just over $16! Safe to say I will be coming back for a quick lunch! Big parking lot in the back. Not too much dine in space.“

“A lovely modern tea shop with a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. They have a great variety of teas to choose from, and adding the brown sugar konjac as a topping is a absolute must-try! A wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a good cup.“

“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“
