If you want really good boba, this is the place to go! The boba community is quite large in Seattle with several options around every corner however there are only a few that stand out and this is one of them. I like getting the classic milk tea with boba but there are many other choices to choose from. A lot of times there's a line out the door so be prepared to wait about 10 minutes in line before they can take your order. Worth the wait :)

Just FYI: this Sharetea location is still open technically! You just need order online using a link posted on the front of the store and then pick up at the restaurant around the corner. Still the same delicious boba.

Great to have this location but there is no parking as it’s right on 45th.

Tldr: takeout system is absolutely broken, resulted in an expensive, and melted drink that went straight in the trash. Tea here used to be consistent and decent. I say used to be because the takeout system here is absolutely infuriating. I looked online for their takeout link before I left my apartment, so I wouldn't need to wait. Turns out the only place you can get the takeout link is on their front door. Ended up placing the order standing outside with 4 other people, then sat in my car to wait for the notification that my drink is ready. Turns out there is no notification, and I guess you're expected to wait inside the restaurant? In terms of my drink. I ordered 50% sweet. And oh boy my drink tastes like it's straight up sugar. Also since I waited 20 minutes, everything was melted (I ordered a slush). 0/10 would not do takeout here again. Added a couple stars back though, because it's a rough time for all of us.

Great experience compare to other location, my favorite drink here is qq happy family, this location may be one of the best place that I ever taste before. The difference between this and other location is it considering the customer's health when placing order, help me cut out a lot of topping inside my drink without my consent. The best part is you dont have to pay any extra fee on top of the drink you order.

Love the tea here. The ice blended taro and oreo is really good with boba and icecream. The Thai tea..delicious. I keep trying different boba places and always find myself coming back to sharetea.

I used to love this place, but recently it has gone downhill in quality. I went here with a friend back in January, and the store was packed. There was a long line to the door, and all of the seats were filled. My friend needed to use the bathroom, and it was the most complex thing ever. The employee told my friend the bathroom code, to which he went behind the door to said bathroom. The first thing you see when you walk behind the door, is two doors that are showers? It didn't have a pin lock on it, so I knew that it couldn't be the bathroom. I went back to the counter to ask the cashier where the bathrooms are located, and she told me that you had to walk all the way down the hallway, and then make a right where the staircases are. My friend eventually figured it out, but I also noticed another customer going up to the cashier to ask for clarification on where the bathrooms are. I don't understand why they don't just put up a sign saying "bathrooms are at the end of the hallway". Oh well. My go to drink is the QQ Happy Family Milk Tea. It's milk tea with red bean, lychee jelly, tapioca, and egg pudding. Usually this place is really good when it comes to drinks, but this time I got a really watered down drink. I tried my best to drink it since I didn't want it to go to waste, but I ended up discarding it after drinking about 10% of it because it was like drinking milk with water. This location only offers street parking, which usually isn't hard to find. It's not an extremely busy area, so you'll usually be able to find parking within a block. All in all, this location needs improvement on their drink quality. I believe that they can do better, and maybe I'll give them another try months down the road.

Their drinks are better than most places I went around the U district especially Kung Fu Tea. Their boba is alright but cannot compare to the golden boba at Ding Tea. The price is affordable and the store is clean.

I always go to Sharetea when i'm craving a taro pearl milk tea. They have the best taro milk tea I've ever tasted! It's not too thick and powdery like other places I've tried. I also like their black milk tea, which i always used to order until i discovered their taro. I also like how they have reasonable prices. The only thing about the U-district location is that sometimes the drinks are inconsistent. Sometimes the drink will be slightly more watery (still enjoyable, but less so), sometimes the drink is perfect.

It is authentic Taiwanese boba tea! I love their milk tea and the texture of the boba. I always order classic milk tea (black tea) with boba. Less sugar and ice. To me, it's the best combination.
Love the bubble tea here taro iced tea with 2 scoops of icecream and pearl..my favourite.

recently added a new food menu. pretty consistent with orders. one time my clover code didn't print and they couldn't help me out so that was a bummer, otherwise a top 3 boba place

Staff was super nice , drinks were delicious ! I liked that we could add our own toppings and we had an option of a plastic cup 20oz or a glass cup 16oz for the same price. Will be back :)

This is truly a hole in the wall stop when you needed a refreshing drink from all the walking around this neighborhood. the line up is long but it is worth the wait.
