    I got the stargirl drink and it was delicious!! Hope to come back and try out some of the other drinks

    I ordered the jasmine tea with almond milk. Interesting enough, didn't taste like tea or milk. Their menu is not really focus towards tea forward drinks, so I get it that this place was not a good choice for me. The menu looks interesting if the drinks offered is in your wheelhouse. The girls staffing the shop are very nice and chatty. They were fast. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

    My friend loves this place, so I dropped by with him on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by how empty it was. There was only one table for two located below the menu screens which meant people were staring in our direction to look at the menu the whole time we were seated which can be off-putting, especially if you like your personal space. I asked for the chococat with strawberries instead of raspberries which they were able to do for me. It tased incredible like a chocolate covered strawberry and I enjoyed my drink. I just wished they'd offered oat milk since almond milk is just as bad for the environment as regular dairy. I appreciated how accommodating and friendly the staff were. The bathroom is unisex, and was clean when I went in. I also appreciated how clean the entire cafe was including the tables. Our drinks were made quickly and packaged well. My friend got a blue lagoon which is his go-to and he loved it. He also really enjoyed the music they were playing at the store.

    Forgot to take a pic of my Purple Galaxy. Never had an Oreo/Taro mix but maan I loved it. If you love both and have a never tried this combo (and if you like sweet treats), this is the one. A bit cramped and long lines, and also a lil' loud on the inside. But don't let that stop you from getting that Purple Galaxy

    This has to be one of my favorite boba places for fruit tea's. My personal favorite now is the lychee green tea with boba and lychee pieces. The drink isn't bitter or too sweet so it's a great in between. The restaurant itself is very clean and the service is pretty fast!

    Great tasting slush, low price, option for 0% sweetness, quick service, very friendly cashier, what more can I ask for?! I wish this place was in Chicago! This really hit the spot after the heat this week! The music inside is bumping!

    Soooo YUM. Was recommended this spot while staying in the Tukwila area and was NOT disappointed. Loved the drink options, the staff was quick and the atmosphere was very cool. I ordered the Cuddles on the Beach Smoothie which consists of a peach base with strawberry and mango. Delicious! Will definitely make this a regular tukwila stop in.

    Love boba lust, always open late. I also love that the jelly's are fun shaped (lychee are stars!). The service is nice, the drinks are always solid. We both got half sweet and they're still pretty sweet. We decided to try the macaroons, we got four and it was 50% hit or miss. Half of them were really good and the other half were hard. Would and have gone back. Raiju (lychee passion fruit peach black tea with lychee jelly and peach bits): 9 Cali kiss (passion fruit black tea with lychee jelly and mango bits ): 7.5 Macarons: Viet coffee: 4/10 (hard) Strawberry: 3/10 (hard) Chocolate: 9/10 Milk tea: 6/10 (tastes like brown sugar not tea, not strong flavor)

    Service was great. They were friendly and welcoming. The lychee strawberry explosion drink was good. I wasn't really into the raspberry, strawberry, honeydew drink because you could taste the artificial.

    Thai tea

    The Boba is pretty mid. Only came here because it open late. Customer service was weird asf. I get that they have sketchy teenagers coming here late at night, but scanning a $10 bill to check if it's real was weird, embarrassing and warranted a review. Maybe they thought I wanted free food because I saw they had musubis, but after getting a closer look I changed my mind because they looked gross. I get I came in modest joggers, and didn't look my best. but after they did that I felt the need to flash my Louis Vuitton wallet when I got my change back purposely not leave a tip felt extremely satisfying. Never judge a book by its cover.

    Lychee lemonade (lychee & strawberry jelly)
    Han H.

    Go here all the time and almost always get the lychee lemonade (one of their "signature teas"). The jellies are just the right chew and the drink is perfect sweetness and tartness and flavor. (It is realllyyy sweet tho- as are most of their drinks.) They're also open late (11pm). Tonight's staff member was super friendly (A+). 75 cent charge per add ons but most of the signature drinks have included toppings ($6-6.50). Milk teas, original teas, and original slush are all $5 (no toppings included, so you gotta add on). My cousins love the purple galaxy (blended taro and Oreo). Music is always a lil too loud so if that's your vibe go for it (music ain't bad tho, just loud if u wanna chill and talk).

    I forgot to take a picture of my drink but I got the honeydew with tapioca. It was alright - refreshing after a long flight. I ordered this originally but I got a honeydew milk tea instead but the staff was really nice and they made me the right drink right away so I thought the service was good. They did run out of oat milk otherwise I'd keep the order but otherwise I appreciate the service & the boba did the job for what I needed.

    Thai Green Tea with boba - IG @bougiefoodieboi

    I was lusting to suck on some black balls in the late night hours cause I want to feel something (not what you think, it's boba... chill lol), and BobaLust hits the spot in 2 dimensions: the chill ambience and their late hours. Before BobaLust, the typical decent Seattle boba shop will close at like 8pm and any later than that, you are stuck with very mediocre options that close at midnight (you know where). Some friends and I went here around 10:15pm while it was pouring rain outside, and I resisted the urge but failed. So many people recommended the Thai green tea and I personally haven't had Thai green tea before so I decided to get that with honey boba, so yolo, what is sleep. Now, the Thai green tea is worth keeping me up late at night until 4am because there is so much caffeine. It is very fragrant and even though I opted for half sugar and half ice, it is a full drink and nothing is watered down. The boba is very good, not the best, but excellent especially at this hour. It is soft and chewy, as you expect, and they are quite flavorful too. One small bonus is that you can be as wholesome or unhinged as you want here - the cup has "I only love boba & ____" and you can write anything you want! Let me know what you say!

    Cute decor :)

    Is there any almond milk substitutes or other dairy-free options?

    We have non-dairy creamer!

    Do you offer non dairy milk (almond or coconut milk)?

    As of right now we offer non-dairy creamer as our non-dairy option

    Is this the new spot for Fast & Furious car meets? Lol.

    Ask any racer. Any real racer. We live our life one bubble tea at a time. - Dom Toretto

    What exactly is the "Angels Envy" consisted of?

    It’s a secret! What we can say is it’s made with two different flavors, one that isn’t anywhere else on the menu. It’s tart, floral, with a nice blend of fruitiness. Next time you come in, be adventurous and order the Angels Envy!

    Do they have hot bubble tea?

    As of right now BobaLust does not serve hot drinks

    Is there wifi/outlets? Was wondering if it's a good study place!

    Yes outlets at every table and WiFi!

I thought no biggie, I will pop in and buy what he wanted and then leave. I know the LA Fitness in the Landing. It is impossible to miss. As I entered I was surprised that no one was at the reception desk. I figured since LA Fitness is a membership gym they would want to verify if someone has membership when entering but no one was there. Behind the circular desk there were a few other workstations. There was a gentleman at one of these computers who just silently stared at me as I wandered to find Emerald City Smoothie. He didn't move, smile, nothing. His eyes just followed me. Kinda feeling odd by this point I saw the Emerald City Smoothie to the left tucked in. You can't see it when stepping into the space and the one sign is on one wall eye level. But I guess they don't really need to advertise. One young woman was alone cranking out smoothies. She was diligent in her job treating her smoothies like someone on an assembly line. She spoke little and moved fast. There were a few people in front of me and each was served quickly with no commentary. Made me wonder if they should just install a kiosk where customers could put in their orders and she could just make them with no interaction. I left much as I entered, being stared at as I walked away. I don't think I will be back. It was weird.

    Stopped here on an impulse. I had a cheeseburger without cheese (my bad, not theirs, I didn't have…read moreany lactaid pills with me).The burger patty itself tastes great. Microscopic amount of ketchup, mayo and Sma5h sauce. (but there was Smas5h sauce on the side and there is ketchup at the table) . I'd prefer cheddar over American cheese anyway. And this was a good opportunity to just taste the beef. Good, caremelized flavor. I might just go cheeseless next time also. Regardless if the scant amount of condiments was intentional or just being cheap, the burger tasted good. Generous portion of fries. Hot and crisp. House seasoning on the fries doesn't add much flavor. Mostly garlic powder? not much salt. I'd actually just prefer plain ol' salt instead of their seasoning. Ordering at the touchscreen is a little confusing. Calling things "extra" implies their is already some on the burger. And if the cheeseburger is the most basic thing on the menu, call that the "simple" burger, not the next one on the menu. The "Simple" burger is a dollar more than the cheeseburger. If you're a newbie, Look at the menu board overhead to figure out what's what and then order with the guy at the counter or use the touchscreen. The menu board is a little bit more clear. First table I sat at was so wobbly I had to move to another one. Windex to clean the tables? Should probably be using quat sanitizer. I wish they had some combo meals as an option. But still, this is a solid "fast casual" smash burger. Better than the big chain restaurants like McDonald's or BK. But you'll spend more.

Smash sauce is my favorite - creamy with the sweet and little tangy. 1st time for ordering ahead online. Very smooth. I order 1 burger bunless (no lettuce wrap but thats more than okay). Burger was still nicely assembled in a little box and lettuce was beautiful and crisp. I had arrived way earlier than the estimated time. I didn't want to rush anyone so I sat down for a bit without notifying anyone. Cook was kind and asked me if I was waiting for to go order. Both cook and cashier were very nice.

Everyone was looking for an excuse to go outside…read morebecause of the quarantines but it was hot and sunny back then, and this place filled up my friends' IG stories back when we wanted to walk around Gene Coulon Park where this place is located not too far from. Parking around the streets touching here and the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle's Southport is not advisable since it's very limited. There is a paid parking garage near the Hyatt you can use, or you can use the nearby Coulon Park parking lot and walk over here like I did. There's no seating inside here; instead there's tons of treats, merch, tea bags, gummies and other products on tables and shelves filling up the right-hand side of the interior. There's also a grassy background where you can take photo ops of yourself and/or your drinks. Up at the front counter to the left-hand side of the entrance are two kiosks you can use to punch in the drinks you want. The menu is also up behind the counter as well. For this visit, I got their tiramisu milk tea with boba. The tiramisu foam ayer was large enough that when I stirred the whole drink in, I could taste the tiramisu's slight coffee-like, earthy hints throughout. The milk tea itself is very strong as I could taste the bitter undertones of the tea easily after just one sip. Also love how they put their drinks in a plastic container shaped like a can! As for their boba, I actually don't mind them being much smaller than many other boba places. They're both small and very chewable, and still look very good sinking to the bottom of the drink in case a photo op is needed. Regular size boba would take up too much space inside the can anyway. Overall drink was a tad too sweet though. This is one of the few places that come to mind for me when someone asks me what boba places there are around the Renton area, as I've gotten great drinks here for every visit since 2021. I'd love to come back again and try their other drinks when I'm around the area!
