    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.

    Love this place! Our favorite to go drink is always the Vietnamese Che. #7 is our all time drink. But i try some others too. Pandan waffle is so good! Eat while warm. Not too good when it's cold, reheating does not do the job Service is great. The guy who helps me out is very friendly and usually suggests things I should try.

    They have the best smoothie and boba consistency and that's important for the taste buds. Service is always fast and efficient! Price is fairly reasonable! Their avocado smoothie is top tier for me.

    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.

    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. I got the bamboo favorite, and it was not too sweet, jelly was fresh, and great taste overall. For the price, the portion is big, two people can definitely share it. The service was kind and fast, and there is a couple of tables inside for seating.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

Fortunately, there was no traffic so it was a 20 min drive easily. However, a lot seemed to have changed from about a year ago? We got popcorn chicken which was $9 for a very tiny plate (like the medium size sampler food container you get at food tasting events) which is a joke of a portion, and the chicken was not even good quality - heavy on the batter. Compared to pictures a year ago, where the portions looked much much larger. They are so stingy on the amount of chicken, that I thought they were giving us a sample to try before they make a real batch lmaooooo. I tried the Kocochi milk tea with creme brulee, boba, jelly, etc. Sounds good on paper, inflation I get it, was expecting $7 but it was $8, plus tax, so it is actually not that competitive of a price anymore now that I think about it. I could get a very good quality boba drink for $7.50+tax elsewhere without all the fancy toppings, but with boba included. I was pretty disappointed with the quality. The boba is so overcooked that it is mushy, and the creme brulee was not thick enough that I have to use a spoon to even be able to get any of it out (instead of being able to drink it from the other side which is what it is supposed to be). I'd avoid this place unless this is a one off but I will need to be redeemed a better experience before recommending this place. There are better options in the area

In long This stretch of 99 is by no means a coffee wasteland, but I drove a few blocks farther than I thought I might before I found a coffee spot with a drive-through. This is a good-sized shed, looks like 3 rooms and well built. This isn't a yard-storage unit painted espresso-brown and opened for business. There was a line, even at 11:00 AM, which is a good sign even if I woulda like to have pulled right up. The kids working here are super nice. They're friendly and outgoing, and, unlike so many places on 99, they get to wear all their clothes. Also unlike some coffee places, the friendliness doesn't seem forced, and it doesn't seem like it would drive you crazy if you had to sit next to them on a plane flight. They seem like genuinely likeable people. I got an Americano, triple shot, 24 oz, for about five bucks. It's good coffee--nice aromas and flavors, certainly served hot. Still steaming after adding an ice cube. I think they had 4 people working, all dancing around each other to keep both lines moving.

    Wonderful little family-run Peruvian restaurant that's worth a visit. Ignore the posts/reviews…read moreabout "service is bad." It's not. It's a small family-run place. Honestly, I get really tired of some Yelp reviewers who act so entitled and belittle a small place like this--it does not reflect well on the Yelp community. And here's a hint, you don't go to a restaurant 45 minutes or shorter before closing time and expect a perfect experience. In fact, many restaurants now close their kitchens to orders 30 minutes before that closing time; so stop acting so freaking entitled when you go in that time window. Okay, on to this place. We LOVED it. The service was friendly and helpful. No, it's not the fastest in the world, and mistakes were made (one for us with an ingredient we're allergic to--so ALWAYS double- and triple-check), but we didn't expect it to be. It was fine.
