A regular place of our family to enjoy Vietnamese drinks. So good, so refreshing! Very good drinks with a lot of options are available at this place, Bambu. My visit today made me realize they have updated the menu. Che used to be only one size now comes in 2 sizes. New drink sugarcane juice with different options now available . They are so good and refreshing. We tried the coconut juice option. Service is friendly. They make time to explain each option you asked. So many good choices. I always enjoy the waffle coconut pandan option, it's so yummy! You need to consume moment you get it, so good when warm. Always nice to visit Thai place. Not much sitting available. You can always take it out. read more

Every time I go to Bambu, I order the Taro Lover and it never lets me down. Great service as well. The employees are always friendly and I've never waited more than 5 minutes for my order. Love going here for a sweet treat! read more

BAMBU - Taro Lover - Bubble Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

My new favorite Asian dessert place! Friendly staff, and I can usually get my drink within 10 minutes. Although I try to be as openminded and objective as possible, when it comes to dessert, I'll always vote for Asian desserts, and I'm not going to lie. I've tried three different chè here, and none of them failed me. They were Bambu Favorite, Summer Delight, and Taro Lover. To sum it up for those who've never been here before, it's basically coconut milk with various boba style toppings. I always get the large size on Saturday afternoons and take it to Edmonds Beach. Out of these three, my least favorite was Summer Delight, simply because I didn't enjoy scooping out the thick glass noodle textured jelly at the end. I love how all my chè were coconut milk based, they're lighter than milk and don't leave that nasty aftertaste and bad breath lingering in your mouth. The ingredients such as pandan jelly and tapioca were fun to eat, with a subtle sweetness to them. The whole cup of chè is perfectly balanced, nothing overwhelming the other. As someone don't drink and smoke, having a chè after my weekly grocery shopping is a mental spa break for me. So next time you're nearby, give it a try, Asian dessert drinks are more than matcha latte. read more

This is a chain place (perhaps franchised?) I always enjoy coming to Bambu to get a refreshing chewy dessert. I was a little sad that when we were there last, they ran out of some of the ingredients we enjoy, but it was still tasty. I usually get the bambu favorite or bambu combo depending on how heavy of a treat I am looking for. Always consistent. read more

Absolutely not. The markup here is crazy work. A coconut water drink with cheap toppings should be like $2-3 not $11. Period. Can the reviewers here be somewhat mindful of price when it comes to rating places? We should not just be mindless consumers. Money can be spent at places where food and drinks are priced fairly. Let's be so for real. read more

One of my friends highly recommended this place for authentic chè drinks, so I decided to give it a try. I had never heard of chè before, and it seems like it is not easy to find a spot that serves authentic versions in the Seattle area. The store is located in the same complex as Ranch 99, which makes parking very convenient since there are plenty of free spaces available. There were a few people ahead of us in line, and it took us some time to decide what to order. My friend suggested either #1 Bambu Special or #2 Bambu Combo, and specifically advised not to get a boba drink here. I chose the #1 Bambu Special since it was listed as one of their top-selling drinks and had fewer calories than the #2 Bambu Combo. I selected the regular sweetness level to get a more authentic taste of chè. The drink came out quickly, but after taking a sip, I was not quite sure what I was drinking. It had large chunks of ice, floating basil seeds, pandan jelly, longan, and coconut. Tbh, it was very disappointing. The drink was not cheap. It cost $8.50 before sales tax and tip, bringing the total close to $10. Is it worth driving all the way to Edmonds and paying almost $10 for this drink at Bambu? Personally, I don't think so. There are only about five small tables, so it is not the kind of place where you would want to sit and hang out, either. I feel like I could find a better drink and better experience somewhere in Bellevue or Seattle for a similar price. read more

Lots of vegan options to choose from here. We got a Thai iced tea, a Che thing and a mangonada. All three things were pretty good and unique! I like that they have a policy to remake anything you don't like. They use quality ingredients. Definitely will try more stuff here. read more

My week isn't complete without me getting a smashed avocado, or an avocado smoothie from this location. I am always assured that the ingredients are always fresh and tastes great! I recently tried their honeydew smoothie and that was great as well. I wish that they would be in a bigger location, as I think they need more seating areas for customers. But the service is always prompt and nice. I will remain a customer for as long as they are around! read more

Love the fruit addict here! There are loads of fruits in this drink. I ordered no-sugar option, but 25% sugar tasted better. They had loads of vegan drink options which is absolutely amazing. The ingredient list includes the following - Lychee, longan, jackfruit, palm seed, red tapioca, agar-agar jello, pandan jelly, coconut & coconut milk. All the fruits tasted delicious. Agar-agar jello was the only one that I didn't like so much and would have totally replaced with jackfruit or longan. Overall a great place to explore Vietnamese dessert and I am going to return here to try out the waffles and the rest of the drinks in the menu. read more

This is my go to place for che! Parking was easy there is a big lot for free, and no wait at all when ordering.

The service was kind and fast, and there is a couple of tables inside for seating. read more

I came to Bambū Dessert & Drinks for the first time this evening, Monday 15 May 2023, with my eye on trying a pandan waffle for the first time. The shared parking lot had spots available and I made my way to the store eagerly. Placing my order I decided I wanted to try a pandan waffle with durian. The worker asked if I had eaten durian before, which I had not, so she had me try a sample to make sure I was okay with it in the waffle. I was pleasantly surprised and kept my order the same. The wait was maybe about five minutes, the prices were $5.95 for the waffle and $2.50 for the durian pre-tax. With tax the total was $9.33 and I paid with a ten dollar bill, tipping my change. The durian came baked into the green pandan waffle. It had a texture that looked a bit liked mashed up bamboo shoots and a sweet flavor. My palate taste buds danced in a way that reminded me of trying lychee for the first time. The pandan waffle was texturally more on the chewy side and the waffle itself was cooked to a golden crispy perfection. I enjoyed the durian inclusion in the waffle, the sweet meaty flesh of the fruit paired well with the chewy and not as sweet flavor of the waffle. read more

My ultimate fav is their strawberry yogurt drink!!! Price is reasonable for a large size which is what I order everytime! So refreshing and healthy that I have no desire to try other drinks! My friends have their go to drink but I can't remember exactly what they order just know it has taro and the other has green tea smoothie. Only criticism is that sometimes their hours of operation is not consistent so I will call to make sure they're open. read more

In terms of shaved ice it is pretty good but boba was mediocre. It is in a really convenient spot sandwiched in between Ranch 99 and T&T read more

I really like their drinks. I get their smoothies. They do a really good job of balancing out their flavors. I've been trying different smoothies but the one I got yesterday gave me food poisoning. I hope that was a one off because I really like their drinks. It's also next door to 99 Ranch which is very convenient. read more

Honestly, you don't come here focused on their drinks since they specialize in che, but their drinks are not half bad. For a place that is most focused on the che and Vietnamese dessert, the boba was really chewy and actually had sweetness. It was flavorful and the tea was fine as well. Out of 10 the drinks were a 7 for me. It only helps more that they have such a wide selection of items to pick from (though usually more is usually spread out so items are lower quality, I don't think it's the case here). I haven't had the snow ice here, but at another location. I'm sure it's similar. Akin to bingsoo, it's more shaved ice (actual ice instead of shaved milk), but the flavor you pick will be very apparent from their syrup mix. You won't just be eating straight shaved ice that tastes like water, which I appreciate. read more

Super fun stop while grocery shopping in North Seattle! I had the durian smoothie with Boba, and it was such a treat. It's super rare to find in any Boba shop. They do spealize in Vietnamese desserts, which I'll be sure to try next time. Prices are reasonable, and the staff was courteous and prompt. They did have boxes in the dining room I had to go around to find my seat. Must stop! read more

Great spot for bubble tea and Vietnamese che! It's right next to the 99 Ranch market so it's convenient to go while you're out shopping and parking is always available! This Edmonds location isn't like the one in Chinatown so I was disappointed they didn't have the shaved ice here but they do have their signature pandan waffle. My go-to drink is the Bambu favorite. The red tapioca and pandan jelly is the best combo with just the right amount of crunchy and chewy texture. They also allow you to customize the sugar level. I recommend bringing cash for orders under $10 otherwise there is a 50 cent charge for credit cards. The service is really quick though. I ordered a che drink and it was out within a few minutes. read more

very bad tea customer service is not great and so is the boba. No sugar when i clearly ordered 100% had this issue last time where i had to explicitly tell them to add sugar to mine, don't think this would happen again and it did, not coming back to this establishment!! read more

Hands down the best bubble tea around the area. My kids love this place & their green waffles is always a win-win. Can we just say their playlist is A vibe... also the owner is amazing, he has great customer service. Always an enjoyable experience read more

First, I want to say that the Boba Tea here is really good and the Pandan waffles are delicious. Problem is, they don't answer the phone for to go orders, the price is around $10 (gasp) and the last time we visited, they were out of boba pearls. How is that possible? It's the best part! read more

They never disappoint no matter what we order. We come here a lot and it's good every time. It does get busy at certain times of the day so sometimes it can take a little longer for your order but it's worth it. Everything is made fresh to order including the waffles. Customer service is always good too. Will always recommend this place! read more

BAMBU is a Vietnamese desert shop instead of Taiwanese bubble tea shop. It's very important to know this. I'm not an expert with these but wanted to try it anyway. The specialties on the menu are their Chè beverages, which are updated versions of traditional Chè drinks. The most popular item is not a drink but the Pandan waffles. Red bean combo Chè - The ingredients are red bean, taro, pandan jelly, and coconut milk cream. The red bean is a big one, about 3/4 inch long, not the small type used in Taiwanese, Japanese, or Chinese desserts. Not a fan of these big red beans. The taro is some kind of processed taro that I don't recognized. The texture is gooey vs. the natural gritty type. Also not a fan. Fruit combo Chè - Overall, there's not much real fruit in here. Lots of the processed jelly varieties. Pandan waffle - Yup, it is definitely tasty and I can see why it's the most popular item. My personal taste says I'm not a fan of Chè beverages. Didn't try their milk teas so maybe next visit, or maybe not going to bother. Other shops are nearby. read more

Drink #10 still reigns supreme! It has a little bit of everything and it's perfect. I dropped in for a pick me up & finally tried the avocado coffee smoothie 50% sugar plus boba. Definitely stick with 100% sugar bc Viet coffee is on the stronger side. Was this drink worth $9?? Probably not, *but* I needed it. The pandan waffle on the house was a nice little surprise so maybe it was worth my $9. :) Thank you for the kind gesture. Anyways, the waffle was delicious and the texture reminded me of bánh bò nướng (toasted honeycomb cake). 10/10 recommend! read more

This is one of my favorite boba spots! They've been offline a while due to Covid and I was so excited to see them back on Uber eats yesterday. My favorite flavors are the orange chiller, honeydew, mango, and now mangonada! I tried the mangonada last night and it quickly became one of my favorites! It comes with real mango chunks and yummy chamoy sauce. I wish they had descriptions on Uber eats Bc I ended up adding Boba and it really didn't need it. Plus the straw that comes with it has tamarind candy on it, but is too small for boba. Having said that, this is my favorite place partly due to the flavor of the boba. They have the BEST boba, so sweet and soft and not crunchy. Can't wait to order again! read more

TLDR: try the snow ice. Get the pandan waffle. Brightly lit. Calm music playing quietly in the background. Menu pretty straight forward. Limited seating. Service: order and pay at the front; seat yourself. #6 Fruit Addict: don't expect to have a flavor blast--it's very lightly sweetened. The only fruity thing is the Logan and Lychee. Everything else is coconut flavor in this drink. Pandan Waffle: very good! Nicely toasted on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside. Snow Ice: the texture is very good--instead of shaved ice with flavoring poured on top, it's flavored ice that is shaved. Too hard to explain, just try it! Not too sweet and a nice treat. read more

I was recently craving a refreshing smoothie but never really got one other than at Jamba Juice. The bf found this spot and thought we'd check it out. I got the strawberry banana and he got an avocado smoothie. It was maybe a 10 minute wait for our smoothies because they were pretty busy. It was definitely worth the wait. Their smoothies were flavorful, creamy, and totally hit the spot now that the weather is starting to get warmer. If you need a refreshing, fruity treat, check this place out. You won't be disappointed! read more

I'm glad there's a ché place close around to the area that reminds me of home in Vietnam! When I heard the word ché, there's a part of me that really hits home when that word comes in my mind because back in Vietnam there would be many stands that would sell ché on the street for super cheap, and coming into BAMBU the smell of the spot just makes you feel welcome and hungry for some good dessert! My go to when I come here is the Green Lantern(Mung Bean, Pandan Jelly, and Coconut Milk) and with this I usually add taro which makes it way more delicious! So give it a try and let me know what you think of it. If you are into smoothies, then you should try their Mangonada smoothie, its sour, sweet and salty and all of that just goes so perfect in this mango smoothie. You also get a little kick from it every sip you take! Lastly, make sure you try the fresh Pandan Waffle! You won't regret it, when you heard the word waffle, you probably think of American waffle but this is has a chewy and spongey texture that makes it way more enjoyable than a plain old waffle! Overall, BAMBU has a pretty good service from how they greet you when you come in to how fast they get your order out, and if you are looking for a light dessert and wanting to try a good Vietnamese dessert that uses coconut milk or coconut water, come check out BAMBU! I know they have a couple of spots around Washington state area too so check one of them out and Enjoy! Follow me on my food gram if you love to see me post delicious food @eatwithwa read more

We went to the one in Edmonds next to Ranch 99. Service is always friendly and fast. The place is clean and convenient with some chairs for waiting. They often try out new waffle recipes and give it out for customers to try. Our favorites from there are the #2 chè combo, pandan waffles, and the basil seeds and jelly mixed drink. Glad they are around in the area for us to stop by easily. read more

This place literally makes the best bubble teas I have ever had in Washington. Their bobas actually taste fresh instead of the usual frozen ones. I highly recommend the strawberry smoothie! In terms of CS, I went on a Saturday night, and I received great customer service! The lady who helped me was very nice and efficient. read more

Was hoping for a nice simple milk tea. Tasted like water. Way too much ice. Solid regret.

Drinks are good but the rating is based on the customer service. The customer service is lacking on a ridiculously high level. The order taker has little to no personality and has an no people skills, it's like she doesn't want you to order from their shop. I will NEVER buy from this location ever again. Also the location is super cramped and small--plan on taking two steps forward and two steps back out the door. So cluttered and very unprofessional looking smh. read more

I got a vietnamese coffee and a special drink. The vietnamese coffee was a little stronger than a normal latte, but I really liked the flavor. The drink I got had coconut, pandan jelly, lychee, and basil seeds. It was my first time having it, so idk what it's supposed to taste like. It was a bit weird because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to chew every seed or just swallow them all. Lol. The green pandan jelly was chewy and yummy. Would def come back and try a different drink next time. read more
