No matter how many times I come in, the Bobaristas are amazing! I'm sure having wonderful bosses make a difference. Today I only need two more check ins and it would be my 200th time I came it to this location. It's not counting the OG location or federal way. Thanks Bobalust for feeding my boba addiction. I normally drink my usual of OG milk tea with pudding and boba. I decided to try something different. Peach mango slush with green apple jelly. Sounds refreshing on this warm summer night. read more

Looking for a late night tea spot, here you go! They stay open till the very last minute at 10pm. We ordered 3 drinks; Lychee Lemonade, Stargirl, and Blue Lagoon. They come very sweet. So if you're a diabetic, this place is not for you. The wait wasn't too long, but longer than expected for shaken sugar lol. Would I visit again, for sure! read more

They finally have tables and chairs! Yay! I've been here a few more times since they've opened, and I think they're a pretty solid place to come for a non-traditional boba drink. I would say they err on the sweet side, so make sure to adjust sweetness levels if you don't like sugary drinks. I wouldn't say they specialize in brewed tea here, so while traditional bubble tea may look like black milk tea with tapioca, this place showcases more "fun" drinks, though they do also have milk tea options. read more

A friend (fellow Yelper) & I popped in while dining in the area for bubble tea. I usually go with Taro or Mangonada one but last night I settled on the orangesicle Smoothie with rainbow jelly. I'm not sure which was my favorite part! It was sooo yummy & nostalgic of that childhood ice cream popsicle! read more

Knocking off 2 stars for the lack of boba, the price, and health rating. Boba is not included in the bubble tea so if we're paying an extra $.75 to have it, it should at least be a reasonable amount. I've never seen such a small amount of toppings added to a bubble tea. There was more ice than there was boba. The food health rating is also at "good" right now so may be best to wait til they get their rank back up. read more

BobaLust - Lychee green tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kent, Washington

I have been in yelp event , this place was awesome . Huge space and you can sit and relax while having boba. Service did took some time as they were making it fresh but server was kind enough to help me with the choosing and he suggested drink as per my taste ( I don't like much sweet ) so he made sure it was perfect sweetness . Just I feel that music was and the background noise of churning was not going well together . I took cuddles on beach with additional mango bits. It was inherent sweet because of fruits sweetness read more

It's great! I especially like the mango boba lust with Tajin and chamoy, but any is good anyway! This is nice for a aesthetic-pleasing drink and affordable. The service is great, they don't take too long to make your drink, but they sometimes have a long line. read more

This bobalust is awesome! The staff are always jolly and upbeat. I love it! My kids love it. So close to home, it's quite dangerous lol. There isn't a food option here, which I hope one day they'll expand their business by adding some appetizers on the menu. The ambiance is your standard grab and go drink spot. No seatings available which is fine. read more

This is one of my favorite boba places for whenever I am in the area. They have a lot of unique options for when it comes to the drinks. The service here is always really good and they are always playing good music. Only complaint is that a lot of the place does not seem like it has been finished when it comes to renovating/painting and such. Also, scary note, the bathroom door does not lock, someone almost walked in on me in there! So maybe go to trader joes if you have to pee. read more

If there's one thing that everyone is going crazy for it's bubble tea. Bobalust has done things right and they now have many locations, including one that's right by everyone's favourite grocery store. I've looked in Bobalust many, many times since they've opened, but I don't go as often as I'd like since it's basically a full meal and they open "late" in terms of my shopping habits. The purple galaxy is definitely my default drink. I absolutely love taro/ube and to add some Oreo dust into that? Oh yes, that's my jam! Service is always super friendly and fast! Absolutely no places to sit in here, though it looks like there may have been at one time. The purple galaxy hits the spot every time! Tons of variety here and it's worth the stop. read more

I've been to three other locations, and have never been disappointed. The service at every location I've been to has been excellent and super friendly, and this location included. BobaLust has the the friendliest service of all the bubble shops I've been to. I've never been to any other place where every one of their chain locations consistently have great customer service. It's nice to always feel welcomed. Their drink flavors are tasty, and I like that they put fruit bits in their drinks. read more

Tasty flavours! The Kent/Auburn area is going to be my new home in a couple months and I'm starting to explore the area and find local spots to patronise and add to my bookmarks. I stopped by the shoppe and ordered a green jasmine milk tea with boba. Staff were friendly and I got my order in a reasonable amount of time. The radio was way too loud for such a small space. Hard to hear and focus. Other than that, drink was good; I'm sure i'll return. read more

BobaLust - jasmine green milk tea w/ boba! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kent, Washington

Stopped by for a look around. The place in Kent is very dark. I could see why no one seems to think it's inviting or interesting. No chairs inside. It's a grab and go kinda place. Once you get your hands on one of their drinks you'll be pleasantly surprised and impressed. Quick and fast service. The staff is friendly and aim to please. My drink was cold and refreshing. The boba was thick and chewy. It's a mouth tasting experience. If you are not about texture than this is great. The egg pudding has a slippery thick consistency. It looks very sweet but it wasn't. Boba Lust has my vote for a great new addition to the neighborhood. I'm lusting for another one. read more

The drinks here are so good. I usually frequent 85 degrees but decided to try out this place since it's close to my house. Even with 50% less sugar the drink is so tasty. My husband who doesn't like the teas I buy even commented that it was very tasty. I would definitely come back. read more

Strawberry seduction everytime. Love that they use a tart frozen yogurt, which goes perfectly with the real strawberry and strawberry syrup. Not too sweet! read more

BobaLust - Strawberry Seduction - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kent, Washington

Some of th best boba tea I've had, they used actual tea for most of their drinks and not powder like a lot of places. Ill be back for sure. Highly recommend. Cashier person was super friendly. Not sure if this is by design but nowhere to sit inside so thats a little unfortunate. read more

I've been frequenting Bobalust for past couple of months and it has quickly became my togo spot for drinks. I've tried most of their drinks at this point and I think they're all very solid. I think their milk teas are alright but you can definitely get better elsewhere. I particularly enjoy their signature teas and slushes. They're so good! The lychee lemonade really hits the spot for a nice refreshing drink. I also really enjoy the legend of momo which has little pieces of peach in the drink. The chamolly is really great, its just like a mangolada you would get at a Mexican restaurant. The prices have increased recently but I still think they're very fair and appropriate for what you're getting. I love how after taxes the price is always an even number. The store has a very modern atmosphere and just has a nice chill vibe. There's plenty of parking space outside and you could usually get a parking spot that's just right outside the store. One thing that I really love is that they're opened until 10pm! That fact alone is warrant for the 5 stars, you can get a nice drink at almost any time of the day! Finally, I really enjoy the service from the staff at this location! They would ask how your day is going and are generally nice all around. I had an incident once where I dropped my drinks on the way out of the store and was ready to pay for a new set because it was my own mistake. The staff happily remade my drinks at no additional charge! That was awesome of them and I've been a huge fan ever since. read more

BobaLust - Electric Sky and Legend of Momo - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kent, Washington

It's a pretty nice setup inside that is respectful to social distancing amidst the coronavirus. I'd say it's a pretty average boba tea place, and the syrup added makes a nice design. It was weird that I didn't see any form of a rewards system for boba considering this was on the pricier side for a bubble tea that tasted pretty standard to me. Maybe there is a rewards system but I needed to ask? read more

BobaLust you get 5 stars for being open til 11pm on a Friday night when I really needed a boba fix. My kids loved your black sugar milk tea with star shaped honey boba. I got the green Thai milk tea with egg pudding. The hubby got the Orange creamsicle (I recommend you get it without the red sauce, it tastes like maraschino cherry juice/cough syrup) but overall a satisfying drink. Downside: I wish you could customize the sweetness. Because they pretty much have Zero sweet, 50% or 100% sweetness which is wayyy sweet for a milk tea. 75% would be perfect! read more

BobaLust: Lots of times we go to Yelp when we get bad service or food, it upsets us. But I need to give these guys a shout out. I've ordered here multiple times, the place is clean, always great customer service and the drinks are served fast. I can't ask for anything more. The team always ask how your doing, it's a nice pleasant surprise as many places don't even acknowledge you. I really appreciate that, it shows management is doing a great job in this area. The drinks are always on point, simple delicious drink menu. It's not overwhelming where they do a million drinks. Today's drink was the Orange Dreamsicle and the Chamolly, awesome drinks. Keep up the great work guys!!! I'll be BACK!!!! read more

BobaLust - Orange Dreamsicle and Chamolly I think... - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kent, Washington

My husband and I recently moved to the area and were in search of a good bubble tea place nearby. Service: The service was great. The store seems to be run very well and organized. The order # system is great. All the employees were friendly. Menu: I really like that they have some unique menu items along with create-your-own option. They have traditional milk teas, regular tea, slushies, and smoothies as well as a large variety of add-ins. Drinks: I got one of the slushies (I think it was called devils fruit?) and my husband got matcha milk tea with Boba. The slushie I got was really good, not too sweet, syrupy, or artificial. There was a good amount of Boba and jellies in both of our drinks. Overall: We will definitely be back! A solid bubble tea place in the area. read more

First time trying boba tea and I have to admit.....I LOVE IT! I had the OG and my friend had the strawberry. Since it was my first time and my friend had had these in the past, I went with his recommendation and got the OG. We got there a little after 12 pm, and it was getting busy on a hot day. Really like it and it's right by a board game place which is a win-win in my book. Absolutely recommend this place! read more

Best boba place. They have so many different kinds. My favorite is the Honeydew Slushy read more

I've been a huge fan of Bobalust since its conception in Tukwila, and am super excited that a new one in Kent opened up! I was already ecstatic when the one in Tacoma opened up a year ago since I live down here, but now that there's one in Kent, it's much more convenient since I currently work in Auburn and it's only a short drive away. The menu is the same as the other locations, but I love to experiment and try drinks off the secret menu! Secret menu drinks rotate on display regularly at the Tukwila location, so there's always something new to try even when you order at the Kent (or Tacoma) location. I love all their drinks so much, but my favorite drink overall is the lychee bomb and favorite drink off the secret menu is the drunken Oreo. The atmosphere and customer service is consistent throughout all three locations, which is exceptional thanks to the management! The owners really know how to train their employees to make the customers feel at ease. Definitely looking forward for a bright future for this location! read more

We are BobaLust regulars, most refreshing boba in Seattle! They're also super fast & friendly:)

With high hopes for the third location, this Bobalust lives up to the quality and aesthetic that their brand is known for. Good music and with a lot more spacious than the Tukwila location, this is a much needed addition to the food scene in Kent. The menu is the same as the other locations and the quality is pretty much the same, some of the bobaristas are the same from the other stores! I'd highly recommend the purple galaxy if you want something thicc or the legend of momo which is the best drink on the menu. Happy drinking! read more

Really nice to have a boba place at the Trader Joe's plaza. Despite of their limited milk tea selections, I really like their unique fruity drinks that you won't see at other boba places. I ordered the lychee bomb which was refreshing but a bit sweet. I tried their Thai green tea at another visit which was very good. So glad to have a boba place to stop by to after shopping. read more

Consistent, delicious, and the best employees ever! I always know I'll get the best boba here

It was my first time coming to BobaLust, as I was in the area visiting my family for the Lunar New Year. They have a pretty wide selection of drinks, ranging from milk teas to non-milk teas. They also have a wide range of toppings as well, so there are many combinations of drinks you can create! The indoor area is pretty small, considering the number of customers that come into buy some beverages. So it can get pretty loud and crowded inside! They are pretty quick at getting you your drink even with the exorbitant amount of customers they get. read more

Poor customer service. Mask mandate has been lifted for people who are vaccinated, both Jay Inslee and the CDC have stated indoor mask use by vaccinated people are no longer needed effective immediately. Walmart, Costco, McDonalds, Target...all fine. Not this place. I talked to the manager and asked him why am I required to wear a mask if the mask mandate is lifted for vaccinated people? He said...and I quote "because, we are following the mask mandate". What an idiot!! Also, they trick people into tipping. When they spin the screen around to face you, they ALWAYS ask "how is your day going today?" They don't care how your day is going!! They have zero interest to talk to you!!! When they ask you that, it's rushed and they stare at you to guilt trip you into tipping. Tipping should be because of stellar service and product, NOT MANIPULATION! Very sad. To respond to what was said: I am a business owner myself. It IS NOT normal practice to ask how your day is going. That's called trying to be personable, not customer service. Now, at some of our coffee shops, my staff does in fact ask how their day is going, or how are you today IF...they are not busy, AND in the beginning as a greeting. Never when people are trying to tip. Almost all customers know it's not a time to chit-chat will employees when it's busy and since they are getting paid to do a job. Talking holds up the line for others, and also hinders the employee from doing the job the individual is getting paid to do. To bother a customer while he's being asked to tip is very, very rude. It is a common practice in the industry to leave the customer alone. Anything else is rude and manipulative. I'm sure it works for you though, and that's why you're being called out. I want people to notice that people here are trained strategically to ask you that ONLY when the screen is spun towards you for tipping purposes. Never before or after. Which would be most common and appropriate. If you disagree, I don't know what to tell you. It's either poor management, or trying to save face. It's an undisputed fact that in the world of customer service, what these store employees do is in appropriate. I challenge you to show me another food establishment that is streamlined and well established that does exactly what you do. Just one. read more

Boba craving later in the evening and this was the option open in the area. Green tea with boba. Half sugar. That is one of my go to orders regardless of boba shop. Fairly straight forward and I'd think hard to mess up. This was one of the worst drinks I'd ever tried which is super disappointing. The tea tasted really artificial, like the kind you buy in a bottle from the grocery store. Even though I asked for half sugar, it was SO sweet. Like super syrupy sweet, and the boba, also tasted like it was cooked in syrup and the boba portion was a bit sad. Place was also quite crowded. Lots of available parking though. Regret trying something new and wish I would've just hightailed it to Bambu or someplace else. So many boba options, we won't be back. read more
