50 Best Bubble Tea in Seattle

“This place is brilliant!!
It is so rare to find quality stuff like this in Seattle. I tried 3 flavors and they were all top notch. Favorite one so far is Yomie’s yogurt cold 25%. So happy to have found one more nice yummy place in Seattle. There are not many gems like this around here. Thank you Panda Yogurt. 🤍“

“This one surprised me.

I was fully questioning the brothless ramen concept at first because… huh? But it works.

You order everything from your phone and they bring it to your table, which honestly is great if you don’t feel like interacting much. There are laminated instructions showing how to mix in the vinegar and chili oil, which actually makes a big difference.

Once everything comes together, it’s rich, flavorful, and super satisfying.

I fully slurped my heart out. I’m still thinking about that ramen to this day.“

“Whoever started this place recognized an opportunity for a late night bubble tea shop. All the other ones are closed long before this one closes (which is at 2am). I'm glad we at least have an option for late night beverages.

The tea itself is decent and reasonably priced relative to other boba stores. Not as good as heytea or molly tea but it's also not priced like those.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“MACU is a famous Taiwanese boba place and I am glad it has reached the Seattle area. One thing that makes this boba shop different from its competitors is that it has seasonal drinks. Their summer festival drinks, such as the King Mango Smoothie or Bobo Mango Smoothie, are extremely popular picks. They also have autumn drinks like the Chi Chi Grape Smoothie and Bobo Grape Smoothie. If you follow them on social media, they always give recommendations and updates for their seasonal menu. I highly recommend checking their page before going there.

The layout inside is also quite good. There is a lot of room for sitting and they even provide Jenga pieces which helps create a welcoming atmosphere to hang out with friends or to have a quiet space to study. The level of customization is also quite high. However, I would recommend ordering in person rather than through a screen because the screens can sometimes limit your options.

I went during the summer and chose items from the regular menu instead of the seasonal one. I picked the Chi Chi Golden Leaf Tea and the Honey Lemonade. The Golden Leaf Tea is almost premium. The flavor of the tea hits you well and it has a unique Oolong taste. It feels light but the flavor is quite strong even with minimal sugar. The Chi Chi topping was delicious, though I felt the portion was a bit small compared to what I am usually served. As for the Honey Lemonade, the balance between citrus and sweet mixed quite well and provided a refreshing aftertaste.

I personally feel that their fruit menu is much more appealing compared to their regular tea menu. I would definitely recommend trying the Chi Chi topping with the fruit smoothies, such as strawberry or matcha. Compared to other boba places, I can strongly say that their fruit and citrus menu is much fresher. Overall, I would say this place is worth it for the seasonal items. The regular menu does not stand out as much, but the drinks with fresh fruit are excellent compared to competitors.“

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

“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. :)“

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

“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 💜✨“

“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.“

“The lady was very patient with my indecisiveness and gave me a lot of good suggestions, the service was very good! I got the strawberry matcha and an ube mochi donut and apparently since it was Wednesday I received a free one! I liked the ambience as well. Everything was delicious.“

“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!“

“A cute small place where you can quietly sit perfect for a first date or stopping by on a walk. Employees have always been friendly.

Way better than another Starbucks. If you are not used to ordering Boba, just ask! It's a sweet treat and you'll be glad you did.“

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

“It is wrong that we pretend that the bánh mìis only supposed to be one way. Often folks want to”cheapest best,” or you’ll get one in a sit down restaurant that is beautiful but less than the sum of its parts. I really enjoy Gion because while it may cost a bit more, it’s actually a fair price until you try to finish the whole sandwich. Then you’ll find it’s a great price. But not too big to eat, fresh, thoughtfully balanced, and served warm. Best of all is the bread. The bread is so good that on the rare chance I finish my bánh mìthe next day, the bread still tastes fresher than most sandwiches.“

“My favorite bubble tea spot so far. The pearls are consistently fresh and delicious, and the traditional milk tea at 50% sweetness and less ice is great. I do agree that the tea flavor is a bit mild but I still really like it. This has redeemed some bad experiences I've had at other spots.

Also nice in-store vibes, quick service, and average prices for bubble tea in this area.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Super yummy just need lychee popping!!!“

“Smells and tastes amazing“

“Called the cafe to look for a last minute birthday cake - the server was very helpful and told us what they had. We asked for the taro cake and they wrapped it up nicely and mentioned these are made fresh by hand daily. They are frozen if stored overnight but just need to thaw before serving. Turned out to be a delicious taro millcrepe cake that everyone loved! It was light and not overly sweet. Highly recommend and will go back to try other flavors!
They also sell by the slice -“

“Love the Boba Tea especially with extra Boba🧋“

“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!🥰😍“

“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.“

“My favorite bubble tea in Seattle!!“

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

“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.“

“Very delicious food, beautiful space“

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

“Osmanthus fermented rice green tea is pretty good! I can taste each element, and the drink includes some fermented rice. Not too sweet, and decent green tea.
Edit: I got 0 sweetness, so anything higher would probably have been too sweet“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“The boba was really good, and I love that they use a jar instead of disposable cups—that was a nice touch. Everything was solid.

It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it’s definitely good. If you’re looking for a reliable boba spot, this is a great choice.“

“I really like the atmosphere of this coffee shop. I often come here during my lunch break and at night when I have deadlines. You guys close around 10-11pm, which is very convenient and flexible for me.
The drinks here are great! I've almost tried everything on the menu since you opened a few months ago.
The coffee is strong (just how I like it), and the fruit tea is refreshing. I usually go for the Logan tea and add panna cotta-lightly sweet and so good! I also tried the lychee tea with panna cotta, but it's a bit too sour for me.
Me and my friends always order the panna cotta just to eat it separately because it really good.
Great location, great timing, and amazing drinks.“

“Very good experience. The restaurant is comfortable, welcoming, and a great place to enjoy a meal. We tried several dishes, and the sushi was absolutely delicious I definitely feel that it’s one of their specialties. The ramen wasn’t my favorite, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience because everything else was very good. We had a very enjoyable meal, and the service was great. I would definitely come back to try more of their sushi options. 🍣✨“

“#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.“

“Really enjoyed my bubble tea here! I got the sun moon lake black tea. The pearls were fresh and perfectly chewy, and the drinks were well balanced and flavorful. The shop itself has a really cool vibe and is a great place to hang out. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“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.“

“I’m often skeptical of cute cafes like this because the prices seem so high. Then I tried their jasmine tea with matcha cold foam and it was sooo delicious and refreshing I’ve been thinking about it nonstop. I’ve never had a drink like that before and I will be going back“

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

“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!“
