    I saw this new boba shop while shopping in the area and decided to stop inside for a sweet drink. Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Brown Sugar Boba ($6) - I was expecting this to be oolong brewed with osmanthus flowers, but it's oolong with osmanthus syrup. Still, it exhibits a good sweet flowery and somewhat fruity flavor that somewhat covers up the oolong taste. The amount of additives isn't enough to make the drink taste artificial or chemically, instead it's a nice, but heavily, floral. The ice level is good at 50%, which cools down the drink fully and leaves a couple of ice cubes left floating on top. The sweetness is also pretty balanced at half that allows a bit of a bitterness from the tea to make its way through the osmanthus. The brown sugar boba has a good sweetness level on the exterior thanks to the brown sugar soak. They are strangely not circular at all and instead are almost cuboid in shape, with several flat surfaces on each pearl. The exterior of the pearls are smooth and when my teeth bite through, it feels far too rubbery and leathery in texture and I can almost hear a squeaky sound emanating through my mouth. This does mean that the boba has plenty of bounce, but it's not an entirely enjoyable bounce thanks to the firm leathery-like nature. It's more similar in texture to fresh cheese curds than to traditional boba and I feel like the starch mixture is perhaps adulterated with something other than tapioca flour. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 2.5/5 It's very interesting reading the reviews on this place, with some reviewers complaining about the boba being pebble-like and others complaining that the boba is too soft and disintegrates in the mouth. These are very different ends of the boba texture spectrum, so I guess Boba House really has some work to do to get the consistency down. On a positive note, the owner is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the boba is on the cheaper end for the city.

    Been here for a few times and finally find my favorite combo--black milk tea with brown sugar boba and topped with sea salt foam, 50% sugar. It tastes like home ;) I think they have one of the best brown sugar bobas in Seattle, perfectly cooked, perfectly chewy, and well balanced sweetness. I can't tell you how much I hate undercooked bobas that are solid on the inside or the overcooked bobas that turn into a slimy party. The owner seems nice friendly and knows what they are doing, I'm happy to have a boba place that's near me.

    Came here last week with my girlfriend after spending the afternoon up north and we wanted to try out new boba place. Aside from the ones we already been to before, Boba House was the next in line that popped up for us. Getting into the parking can be tricky with how small it is, so be warned about that. Coming inside, the interior wasn't anything special. I can tell they tried their best to decorate the inside, but somehow it still felt very desolate maybe because of how blank the walls were by the kitchen station. Perhaps some wall art or logo would fill up the space better. For the boba I ordered their Green Thai Tea. It was pretty tasty as the flavour was prominent compared to what my girlfriend got which wasn't as good. While the drink itself was nice, the boba needs a lot more work. Like many others who have commented, their tapioca pearls were too chewy with no bounce at all. One bite of the pearls and it just dispersed into squishy pieces that weren't very pleasant. I think Boba House has potential, but they need to work more on perfecting their pearls and maybe spruce up the space. Other than that, if I was in the area I would still visit for the Green Thai Tea.

    In contrast to Brian's experience, when I went this week, I found the Boba to be slightly overcooked. I got the "strawberry milk" and was correct that it was not a literal strawberry milk, but I was not expecting it to taste so much like a dairy free strawberry tea. Somehow it was both too sweet and somewhat bitter. I plan on going back to try it again, but next time I will try the black milk tea. That being said, the vibes were nice and their decorations are cute. Their employee was friendly and helpful.

    A bit of a hole in the wall but a great place to bring your friends and plays the games they provide! Their menu is perfect for a nice beverage as well as theirs great photo opportunities!!!

    Black Milk Tea (oolong) w/brown sugar boba, $6 before tax & tip (8/11/24).

    Thanks Ariel B for posting yesterday about Boba House. I decided to check it out earlier today (8/10/24). Boba House is located near 145th & 15th at the Seattle/Shoreline border, between Starbucks and Subway. Just exercise caution with their tight shared parking lot and the SBUX unidirectional drive through. Very bright, pleasant decor. Welcoming for all ages with onsite seating. Saw a chess board and items of interests for the littles. Welcoming counter staff. I ordered an iced black milk tea (oolong) with brown sugar boba for takeout. It was refrigerated at home and sampled by both me and The Homie three hours later. Delicious on point prep including the brown sugar boba pearls. I'm happy to see Boba House in soft opening mode in North Seattle, near Shoreline. Boba spots are usually concentrated in Seattle's Chinatown/International District, Capitol Hill, and University District. Looking forward to check out beverage offerings from their menu.

    Cute new business alert! The moment you step through the doors, you'll feel the playful, relaxed atmosphere when looking at the decor. You'll see florals, 80's decals, adorable plushies, large mirror, and a retro chic phone for photo ops. The business sits between the Starbucks and Subway. We ordered green tea with bursting mango boba (super yummy and not the typical boba texture. A burst of juice in each bite). We added no sugar to the green tea since the boba is very sweet. Kiddo ordered the strawberry boba with brown sugar boba - unfortunately this was a No. The strawberry flavor tasted very odd - artificial or plastic-y. she didn't finish it. She loved the brown sugar boba. My Taro boba was delicious. I was worried it would be overly sweet, but it wasn't and balanced perfectly with the regular boba. Next time I'll try this with the brown sugar boba. The regular texture boba was a bit off but still edible. Some were hard, others chewy. We shall return to try the many other items on the menu. The slushy and mojitos sound refreshing. I'm happy to have them in the neighborhood, and enjoyed meeting the friendly staff. The price point is average, and also expensive if you don't enjoy your drink. Ask for samples...

    Yeah, another new Boba place in shoreline. Very friendly service, the parking is kind of small so plan ahead of time, cute interior design, and nice atmosphere for a date or catch up with friends. The drink itself was very good. I love the tea taste, and the chewiness of the Boba. Highly recommend it and I will come back

    Stop by Boba House today to check them out. This one is located on 14359-125th Ave NE . Well location has parking, but they share with Starbucks and Subway. So parking can be very limited dues to it is small and tight. I ordered (2) drinks and mine is the Mango. It comes with lime and mango juice. I added the boba into this drink. It was too bad, kinda good. Price is a little high but as long as it is good really don't matter. So far this drink is tasty. Other mango drink are made with powder, but this isn't. So it is different, but still tasty.

    Tropical Refresher Slush with Passionfruit Jelly

    My favorite type of Boba drinks are slushies! It's actually hard to find boba slushies with good flavor + texture, but Boba House has my stamp of approval. I love how thick the blended ice was, and it stayed cold in the plastic cup instead of melting and watering down like many other slushies I've tried. I added passionfruit jelly - the consistency was to my liking, and very sweet/flavorful. The staff was nice, and the decor inside was really cute. Tables were also neat and tidy when I came in. I definitely want to come back and try some of their energy drinks or mojitos! I probably will avoid coming during typical busy days/hours just because the parking situation is cramped being next to Starbucks and Subway. Also pulling out at that intersection can be really tricky. If not in a rush, I would advise parking at the grocery store across the street and walking over.

    As a Brazilian, I can confirm that it is REALLY hard to find authentic Açaí. Forget what they offer…read moreat your go-to smoothie shop and whatever you tried in Hawaii. Chances are, you haven't tried legit açai yet (unless you've gone to Brazil). Tropical Berry is one of the rare places in WA that sells real açai. You know is a legit spot if they have condensed milk and milk powder (which is what most people add on in Brazil). I recommend this place to everyone I know, especially if they're not from Brazil. Their açai is delicious, their "coxinha" is one of the best ones I've ever had (please try it with the green mayo). It's always worth the drive for me to come here! Tropical berry is truly a hidden gem!

    We were on a bike ride from Seattle and looking for somewhere to stop on our ride, somewhere with…read moresmoothies or fruity somethings. And a search on Yelp brought us here! What a find! I probably have biked past this place a hundred times, but had no idea it was there. My girlfriend suggested we get açai bowls, their specialty. Apparently she and her daughter had lived on açai bowls for years. I'd never had had one, but was willing to try something new. OMG! They were so good and refreshing! We both got different toppings--we went a little crazy with them in fact, the fruit and stuff would barely fit in the bowl!--and we downed both our small bowls. I got banana, strawberry, blueberry, pineapple and peanut butter. The latter sounded weird, but it tasted awesome, especially when mixed with the açai. My girlfriend got the same, but got granola instead of pineapple. I also ordered a pressed sugar cane drink. Yup, made from real sugar canes. Sounds weird, and one would think would be extremely sweet. But no, not super sweet, and surprisingly refreshing. I remember gnawing on sugar canes when I was a kid, so the flavor was familiar. But a drink was a lot easier to consume!! I'll definitely get it again! The place is tiny. Only two tables. And, although it's across Bothell Way from the bike trail, you really have to cross at one of the lights, before or after. A little hassle, but so worth it!!
