    Good flavors with lots of customization. Able to split drinks for less amount for kiddos if you don't want them to have a big drink.

    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!

    They have chairs and tables now!
    Kirstin H.

    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.

    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!

    I've been visiting since they opened. During the pandemic I went 100x. I know I've been addicted to boba tea since the early 2000s living in SoCal. I've travelled all around the west coast trying to find the best OG Milk Tea with boba and pudding. My family hands down loves bobalust, the kent location specifically the most. Victor has done a great job opening so many locations, also opening cream practically Nextdoor, and also opened up a Macaron, and drinks kiosk at the Mall!!! Proud of you, and your team Victor. I haven't seen Caitlyn in such a long time, or Andy. Both of these Bobaristas totally take care of me, and know exactly what I like. Then Victoria...I'm telling you, she blesses me so! Always smiling, and making me feel like bobalust is home. They decorate the place for every holiday. Plus the place is always clean. I've brought so many friends to bobalust. They've all become addicted. Recently kent/Covington has opened up so many boba tea houses. I've tried all locations because I want to support community, and small businesses. That being said, bobalust is the only boba location that makes me feel like family. Bobalust family for life.

    Lychee green tea with boba
    Taylor V.

    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.

    Beautiful ambience

    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

    Taro milk tea with egg pudding and boba. Honeydew slush with rainbow jelly. Strawberry slush with rainbow jelly.
    Christy H.

    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.

    Blushing Dragon Signature Tea and Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
    Smaly K.

    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.

    jasmine green milk tea w/ boba!
    Bryan M.

    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.

    Taro with egg custard
    Reena T.

    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.

    Strawberry Seduction
    Raye T.

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

    Electric Sky and Legend of Momo
    Huy N.

    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.

The cashier was busy flirting with two guys when the nosey guys made a joke about us looking at items in the shop while a third customer came in and got in front of the line.

If it wasn't enough that we weren't greeted and YES in fact she should have been asked to help us, but to egg on customers trying to instigate something out of NOTHING & to say something so anti-customer service like just gave me a foul taste in my mouth and we will not be returning to this location if that's they feel about customers shopping here

Mind you I got a 32oz smoothie and when I opened the lid as you can see in the photo you can see it wasn't even filled up! I called them after trying my drink outside of the place at 7:04pm and the girl told me that since I didn't put weigh in my smoothie that's why it was off which isn't true because I never put weigh in any of my smoothies and then she went into saying that there was nothing else she could do! This place has been hit and miss with their customer service and how they make drinks. I also, thought they closed at 8pm on Saturdays, so when I called 6:51 pm they didn't want to take my order because of the closing time of 7pm however, when I arrived 5 min before closing it seemed like the two girls working that Saturday night seemed more worried about closing and told me their Supervisor would contact me on Monday because they're not in on Sundays! So with that, I will just take my business else where.

I will definitely be coming here again! There are a lot of options for food which can be a little overwhelming. However, it is VERY reasonably priced. $15 for a toast is wild but that's how cafes price things everywhere. However, other cafes smear some avocado on toast and add a tomato and charge you $15, here they give you a whole meal with an egg on top, cucumbers and tomatoes, avocado, and more. It actually feels like it's worth your money. The coffee is good even though it's not too unique. I feel like they used to be a specialty coffee shop before they turned to the crepe/cafe scene. The coffee was very sweet though so I would highly recommend getting it half sweet. The crepe is good, stuffed well and worth the price. It is obviously sweet as well so it's hard to drink a very sweet coffee with a sweet crepe. The barista was kind and helpful with any questions I had when ordering. There was gentleman with a disability ordering before me and the barista was very patient and kind when taking his order. Seems like they have good people working here, which plays a big role in atmosphere.

Since it was our first time there, we weren't familiar with the ordering process or menu. I didn't want to hold up the line trying to decide what to order, so I asked if we could sit down first and look over the menu. She cleaned off a table for us, but then told me I needed to hurry up and order because she didn't want other people getting upset about how long it would take me to decide. I didn't respond and simply waited until we were ready to order, which only took about four minutes. What confused and upset me was that shortly after, a white man came in and she told him he could sit down, take his time, and order whenever he was ready because "it's not busy." The difference in treatment was very noticeable and honestly made me uncomfortable as an African-American woman. Maybe this was a misunderstanding, but the interaction did not sit right with me. I believe every customer should be treated with the same patience and respect, especially first-time customers who are simply trying to understand how the restaurant works. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and does better moving forward. This needs to be addressed immediately not deleted

So I always order the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup that comes with bananas. If you noticed the ones I've ordered in the past it came with banana. But when I order DoorDash delivery, not only is it not a full cup, but it's missing bananas. Happened three times now. If they stopped adding bananas then that's a different story, but I pay extra when I order delivery, including tip. So I'm expecting to have the same service as when I'm in person. When I'm in person they all have great service, kind people. So I know they work hard, but I'm wondering why it's different for delivery when we pay more. ?

I'm a huge sucker for themes especially ones that revolve around planets and all the pictures and videos I've seen on their social media and on Yelp always looked so pretty. When we arrived, we loved the aesthetics of the place. They had plenty of seating and tables and it is much more spacious than other cafes where it feels like it's too cramped to do anything. They did have Indian music playing which I felt was an odd choice for the atmosphere. The menu here isn't too big either as they do offer menu pancakes, crepes, coffee drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, and energy fizzes. My boyfriend loves biscoff so he got the biscoff milkshake while I got the tropical energy fizz, although I was asked if I wanted Sprite or Red Bull because I assumed it was one of those drinks that had energy in it so felt that was a bit of a mistake on the business for not mentioning that. Additionally, I assume if you get the Red Bull version then it would be an upcharge too, which was also not mentioned to me. The drinks were delicious though! My boyfriend's biscoff shake was definitely the star of the show as it was creamy, smooth, and the consistency was perfect! The syrup of the tropical flavor was nice too, not too sweet and you can taste a bit of all the fruits. Speaking of which, the service here was not inviting nor positive. The lady was the cashier and barista and she had the most monotone attitude with us with no intention to truly welcome or offer good service. It did take some time to get drinks despite us being the only ones there and it didn't seem likely they had any orders that they were making prior to our order. Despite that, this is a neat cafe that I do want to return to try out their crepes, mini pancakes, other drinks and the Turkish coffee!
