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

Generous Y.

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.

We continue to come here for dessert! They have an extensive menu but we always seem to order the same things every time. S15. Taro Smoothie with boba and lychee jelly. 2. Bambu Combo

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!

Lesly W.

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.

So happy they finally open. This is one of my favorite dessert place to go when I was living Westminster CA. What's different about this place compare to other is the freshness, mainly the coconut it's always fresh and tasteful. The price is pretty high for a dessert drink. In California the most it would cost would be $4-5 compare to the price here but given the location, shipping cost and taxes I guess I can over look it. These are the drinks my friends and I usually would get so I highly recommend these drinks. #1 Bambu Special #5 Smashed Avocado #6 Fruit Addict #13 Green Lantern #14 Lychee Jello read more

I was desperate for boba bc I just haven't had some in a long time. I was visiting in Bothell & my aunt told me to come to this place. Upon walking in I noticed the large menu - there are so many things to choose from. Not just that, if you didn't like the premise creations, you also had the option to make your own, so I thought that was pretty cool. I didn't try anything too crazy outside of my comfort zone, I only got a blended green tea w boba. If I ever go back, I definitely want to try one of their signature drinks read more

Decided to swing by after lunch, out of curiosity and gave the Thousand Eyes (grass jelly and basil seed) a try. It was pretty good! Service was pretty quick (it's a fairly simple drink though).

Their soft opening was alright. I usually avoid soft openings because it gets too hectic and things don't really go as plan the first run through, but they seemed to have a good system going.

Good place as usual. Drinks are smaller than Seattle, but loyal customers have been waiting for one up north. Because they are just starting out, we all expect this place to pick up the pace as time goes on. They are always busy on weekends, so expect to wait 10-15 mins if there is a line. It's about 1/3 the size of space compared to Seattle, but who can complain when it's about cost cutting and not spend so much money with price per sq ft. Planning to come back again read more

Interesting experience going here. My ex-manager said his friend was opening a bambū in edmonds which was really exciting because in Washington, most locations are far south. When my boyfriend and I entered around 6:45 pm, it was quite full and it's TINY. However, tables were clean and the decor was minimalistic. It looked mostly open to me! I used a picture as a reference for which drink I wanted and ended up with a peach fruit tea with basil seed and it was delicious! The manager actually helped me decide which to pick based off just the picture. My boyfriend bought the raspberry juice which was delicious as well. It was fresh, but room temperature for some reason. All in all, the drinks were good and the service was as well! read more

I've had the Bambu in Chinatown which I think is much better than the Edmonds one. At each place I ordered the che trai cay (fruit che) and the one I had at this location was much more watered down and tasteless. I don't think the fruit was as fresh either so overall the experience was just okay for me. Don't get me wrong Bambu is one of those places that will satisfy a craving when you want some refreshing Vietnamese dessert but I left today feeling just meh. read more

This is only for review of their pandan waffles and avocado smoothie. I think the smoothie they use real avocados, not like other places where it's just flavored avocado, or ice cream flavored avocado. Anyway, I'm a fan of both. I'm only giving 4 stars because they're a bit slow. There's only one person making the drinks, so the wait is quite a while especially if there are others ahead of you. read more

My second time back and my last too this location. The attending cashier, whom I assume is the owner, doesn't quite get the meaning of good customer service - very common for folks who have not worked in mainstream hostility service industry. "No" seem too be her go-to response for everything. We ordered for desserts to go and she did not pack them up. When we asked for a bag, she reluctant have is one. When we thanked her, she just ignored us. She was so rude that we just wanted to gather our purchase, then get out of there as fast as we could. read more

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

I always get the Iced Honey Vanilla latte, and it's only $5, compared to most cafes which are about $6.50-7. It tastes so good and the staff are very nice and quick. I don't often shop here for groceries, but if I need a nice deli lunch or coffee and I'm in the area, I come here! Also a very convenient Amazon package return station here which I've used before. So that's a nice bonus as well.

It is rich, balanced, and never overly sweet, and it always ends up being the dessert people ask about first when I bring it to events. It feels like something from a specialty bakery without the markup. The coffee selection and prepared coffee are also consistently impressive. Great price for the quality, smooth flavor, and never bitter or burnt tasting. It has become my go to when I need something reliable for hosting or just grabbing something quick that still tastes high end. I also love the convenience of having an amazon partnership here so i can return and pick up packages easily here. The workers here are consistently warm and welcoming which makes me want to come back.

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. I will definitely stop back by here when I'm in the area around time for coffee.

Rinconcito Peruano Restaurant

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. The food was wonderful. These are Peruvians, and these are their family recipes. They may be different from certain other Peruvian family recipes. So what. Deal with it. The food was great. We will be returning. Many times. Loved it!

I went to Bambu in California and it was super good so I decided to give this location a try. At first, I don't want to because of some negative reviews about this business like the owner is meant, desserts are super pricy compare to other location. After try 2 Vietnamese dessert here, I totally agreed with what other customers said about this. I know most store use fruit can; however, there fruit like keep in cooler for long time, taste was really bad. They are brand so I expected something better and worth the price, but is is not even taste normal. Not really recommended, Vietnamese desert are much better than what this store offer. read more

I have literally been Facebook stalking this place waiting for it to open. I've been a big fan of the Seattle location and was super stoked for them to open so close to home for me! My favorite thing is the snow ice... not available yet, but it will be soon! My first time coming here, I was pleasantly surprised with how patient they were with first time visitors, and the very long line. The smoothies themselves did not disappoint, and I am also a huge fan of the fresh juices. I love the addition of new Asian places to the area, especially this one! read more

I am new to the Seattle area and have essentially only experienced desserts in the form of Ben & Jerry's or on a special day, Haagen Daaz. When I moved to the area, I was ecstatic to learn that there would be a brand new dessert shop that encompasses all my favorite things. BAMBU has wonderful customer service that matches their top notch, quality treats. I got the yogurt combo drink and my husband got The Fruit Addict. As a yogurt fanatic, this drink exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming back to satisfy my sweet tooth. read more

One of the only places in Washington that I would order a Durian shake from. Best Durian shakes at a reasonable price, made correctly with fresh durian. Options are very vast and amazing. Truly one of my favorite places to buy desserts and drinks. From the reasonable prices to the amazing taste of the durian shake. If you haven't already got it already, i really like Durian. Give it a try if you ever stop by, be weary of the smell. It is very strong for many people who haven't tasted it before. TL;DR Durian's pretty good. read more

Been there a couple times and the drinks were always good. Gave a rating of 3 stars because I received a message saying that I won their Grand Opening drawing (which I remember entering) for an iPhone 8 & $300 cash or an Apple Watch. When I called to confirm, the person who answered the phone was hesitant in answering me about the prize and said they had a problem with Yelp so the drawing didn't happen and the prize is not available. Scam? Seems like a rather fishy way to get people to come in. read more

The environment is clean and neat. Besides,the position is good since it is just next door to Ranch 99 Asian food market Edmond. You could have a good rest after your shopping. Furthermore, this shop has tons kinds of drink: both Asian and American flavors. Finally, I must say that the guys working here are so nice and friendly. The drinks served very quickly here. Believe me, you will not be disappointed if you visit here. read more

We have this store all over California and was happy to run across this one on my work trip to Washington. Soft opening when I came but looks like it was already opened for a long time. Services are fast (at least when I was there). The establishment was clean. The owner even came out to greet me. I was hoping for a free deal during soft opening but didn't get one. Didn't matter, price was way cheaper than in California. read more

I have not posted on Yelp for a few years and didn't plan to until I visited this place today; it is sooooo cool I registered a new account to put out the word! I ordered the #1 special, full of fresh coconut, lychee and other super fresh ingredients. It was delicious, not to mention nutritious and it is very nice to have a business like this in our neighborhood. I will be back many times for sure! read more
