    This cozy little spot also features a charming swing, which adds to its adorable vibe. Based on the reviews I went with an ube milk tea with 50% sugar and I'm glad I chose 50% sugar the level of sweetness was just right for me. If you prefer less sweet, I'd recommend going for 25% or even 50% sugar. The boba was soft and chewy, which I really enjoyed. Overall, I had a good experience, although I did find the Boba a bit more expensive compared to my usual go-to place nearby. I might try it again someday, but probably not as often as I'd like.

    The place is just alright. It's the only boba place in the area but it would never be my to-go. They were out of the seasonal "specials" and the signature co may milk tea, and the matcha lattes I got tasted very watered down. Too cheap to turn on the fan or AC on a hot day, so the place just felt very cramped and uncomfortable.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Tiffany Y.

    Super good strawberry matcha (the strawberry is super good - I love the jam or compote - whatever it is) and the matcha is great! I saw them make the matcha. The pork banh mi was also really good! I love all the lemongrass flavor! It's nice when the meat is well seasoned! Parking on the street or bus stop one block away.

    Tofu Banh Mi
    Lizz N.

    Came by for bubble tea during a 75 degree day ordered; *lychee jasmine green tea *Passion fruit green tea *Tofu Banh Mi When asked if the Banh Mi had either Vietnamese butter or pate, the worker looked confused and said "no, they have gravy, not American gravy but gravy as a base." That's not Vietnamese Banh mi, y'all. Bubble tea tasted really bland and not flavorful. I would say if you really want bubble and can't get to the University District or SLU, yeah, have this place but I would recommend going to the above neighborhoods for bubble tea instead.

    Tofu bahn mi and Butterfly Lemonade

    The bahn mis were pretty good. They are dairy free too if that's a concern. The server was very sweet and told me that their hours are until 5 but they sometimes close early, especially in winter. She recommended coming before 4:15 to be safe. This was helpful as I've tried to come here after 3:30 or 4 and found them closed despite the posted hours. The patio and indoor seating areas are both nice with good lighting. The boba options are also plentiful!

    Vietnamese Spicy Toast
    Louise F.

    They had a stand set up at an event in international district and the spicy toast bowl looked too good to pass up. It was small but with big flavors. Could definitely have eaten a full sized serving of this. The toasted rice tea sounded good but I don't think I got a lot of the rich roasted flavor I love in things like this.

    Went here around 1/2 on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy, had two other groups while we were there. The place is nice and even has a really cute outdoor space. The service was really nice, they even came out to ask how we liked the drink and when my cousin said he had wished he had gotten a 100% sweetness they immediately asked if he wanted it more sweet and adjusted it , no problems asked. Overall, I wouldn't come back because I feel like there are better options close by. But i was in the area and I wanted boba and couldn't easily go somewhere, I'd go back. Lychee with lychee jelly - 6.5 . I liked that it had lychee fruit pieces in there and 75% was the perfectly sweet, however it has a slight weird aftertaste / maybe a little bitter Passionfruit tea -5.5 It's just regular. Co may tea - 5: it's kinda weird, it has like a hint of coconut which isn't on the list. But then it's also refreshing

    The honey and I stopped into Co May Bistro during one of our weekend walks for a quick bite and sip. He ordered a banh mi while I ordered the jasmine lychee tea - 25% sweet, light ice. While the cashier recommended 75% sweet, I am so glad I did 25% because even that was a bit too sweet for me. Next time I would probably go with 0. The service was friendly and prompt at Co May Bistro and their seating area in the back was super cute. Our only real neutral was that they don't seem to have a public restroom, which we found a bit odd due to how large the space was. All in all, my drink was quite good and the honey enjoyed his banh mi so we would definitely come back.

    Thai Tea & Co May Tea
    Jeremiah M.

    I really wanted to like this place, I truly wanted to. However, it wasn't all that I hoped it would be. My partner and I came to visit Co May Bistro today as we've been wanting to try them out for a while now and we finally had the chance to. We both ordered the Grilled Pork Banh Mi, although I tried ordering the Grilled Beef but they were out of that today. We also ordered two different drinks, the Co May Tea and the Thai Tea. The banh mi itself was the very definition of "just okay". I didn't like how the bread was toasted, parts of it were rough and scratched my mouth throughout eating it. My partner thought it was fine but compared to other places I've had banh mi, the bread quality has usually been better. The meat was just also okay, but my partner thought it was really bland. Other than that, the vegetables and spreads were not too bad. For the drinks I specifically ordered the Co May Tea, but I thought it was too sweet for my liking, and although it was iced I wish the drink came out colder. I tried my partner's Thai Tea and thought it was also very bland, lacking in the typical Thai tea taste. I came here excited to finally try this place out but ended up being let-down. I don't think this place is bad, but there is definitely a lot to improve on. I know they're just barely starting out and I can also see a lot of potential for growth. But until then I probably won't come back here for a little while.

    Update: they are now open daily, and have a grand opening Saturday 6/17 and will be running 20% off. Soft opening, 15% off drinks during soft opening period They have a similar menu to 20oz tea but there are differences. We showed up a little after 12pm. Unfortunately, they were still making boba pearls - it was going to be a 50 minute wait for the pearls so we decided not to stick around for those and just ordered other toppings I personally got the peaches and cream with aloe Vera- 25% sweet. It wasn't super "peachy" in flavor and the salted cream was not as thick as I would have expected, but it was still tasty and still refreshing even though it was a creamy drink. The aloe is a nice balance of chewy and crunchy if you're into that. There are a couple slices of peaches (looks like canned or syrup peaches?) in the drink as well which is a nice touch. Drink came out to about $8 after tip, even with the discount, which is a little spendy but i think boba prices are generally high nowadays. Looking forward to trying their food when it becomes available.

    Very cute decorated bubble tea shop. Street parking. Super friendly and helpful staff offering suggestions. Would love to come in the summer and sit in their outdoor patio area. Will be back to try the banh mi sandwiches.

    The only bubble tea place and banh mi place in the Eastlake area of Seattle and it is the place to go in Eastlake if you get a craving for it. The pork banh mi is really good and they make each sandwich fresh to order. The drinks are made right in front of you and the Eastlake is a nice black tea. Food A really simple menu with either beef, chicken, pork, or tofu banh mi. The sandwiches are packed with meat along the entirety of the bread. The bread is very soft and crisp on the outside. I hate it when the bread is old, stale, and hurts to eat but I've never had this issue at Comay. A good amount of fresh vegetables to balance out the meal! I've had the Eastlake tea, strawberry matcha, and ube milk tea and they are all solid choices. Boba is soft and chewy. Atmosphere A small cafe that's really best for walking in and taking out the food. There is maybe five high top chairs along the windows. The garage door is opened during the summer to allow for more seating, but not sure what they will do in the Seattle winter. Noise level is pretty low. Pricing Banh mi prices are average and are significantly cheaper than any other food you will find along Eastlake. I think Comay has some of the best and cheapest food you will find in Eastlake. Bubble tea prices are average compared to other bubble tea places. Service The staff is friendly and service is good. Can be a little bit of a wait during lunch since they seem to get pretty busy. Other Street parking only along Eastlake.

    DELICIOUS boba! I was looking for 20 oz tea and found out they rebranded to Co May but the drinks are just as good as I remember! I was really impressed with their interior design and layout. It was super comfy and great vibes all around. The staff was more than friendly and made me even more willing to pay a pretty penny for my drink.

I received a promo for $5 off so I tried to use it the previous time, but she didn't know how to apply it. Then another time when I order The Caribbean Plato with pulled roasted pork, when I got home, I discovered the wrong type of meat (grilled pork instead of pulled pork). For these reasons, I didn't go back for a long time. Today, I went again to get take out for my visitors. I called in the order so I didn't have to wait, but Gisela didn't understand my order and kept getting it wrong. I ordered 3 Caribbean Plato with pulled pork, and 1 Caribbean Plato with chicken thigh, but she kept repeating the wrong order back to me (2 pork, instead of 3, wrong type of meat, etc), so I tried it again and again, still no comprendo. I got frustrated and told her that I would just come in person to order. I was in a hurry, but I had no choice. When I got there, I ordered the same thing, but this time, I gestured the type of pork I wanted, using my hands to show pulled and tried to explain that I wanted the shredded kind, not the solid kind). Someone was with me so he heard my order in plain English. As I was waiting for my order, I decided to ask her once more just to be sure that it wasn't the grilled pork bc she made that mistake last time. Then she said my meat was grilling now. I was alarmed since they don't get the pulled pork from the grill. I told her that I wanted PULLED ROASTED PORK, not the solid grilled patty kind. She said something in Spanish to the guy who was putting my order together and he showed me a sample of the pulled pork so I said "YES" that's the one I want. She said they were already cooking the grilled pork. When I told her that she was giving me the wrong order, she said "it's too late". I was so upset so I said, "why is it so hard to understand my order?" Pulled pork is pulled pork, not grilled pork. I never even mentioned the word "grilled". A guy came out from the kitchen so I explained myself and he said what I want is the pulled roasted pork and I said, "that's what I ordered". She tried to explain something to him in Spanish, but he told her to just give me the pulled pork and I was on my way. She just ruined my day, and I could feel my blood pressure rising. I don't think I will ever return again. It's too hard to explain the right kind of meat to Gisela. Dining out and getting take out should be a pleasant experience, not a stressful one.

Service is efficient - you place your order at the counter and they will call your name when your sandwich is ready. It took them about 10 minutes to get our sandwich out. There are plenty of tables just outside of the restaurant where you can dine. We got the ribeye cheesesteak for $23, which also came with a bed of fries just underneath the sandwich. The sandwich itself was piping hot, but just hot enough to enjoy without burning yourself. The steak was tender and had decent chew, sliced to a nice thinness. Personal preference, I would like the steak seasoned a bit more strongly as flavor-wise it does get a little one dimensional. This is definitely a touristy area part of town, and I would say that prices are pretty standard. For one person, you should be able to get a nice and filling portion for $18 - $23. I wouldn't consider this place a must visit if you are in Seattle - The flavors are decent and definitely will get you full in a pinch if you are really hungry and in the area.

The only drawback was the price--at around $20 per sandwich, it felt a bit expensive for what you get, especially considering it was just a 6-inch sub, even though the quality was good. We visited during a FIFA World Cup match, so the line was quite long, but it moved steadily and efficiently. No complaints there. The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, with indoor seating only. Its downtown location near the stadiums makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal before or after an event. Overall, a good sandwich shop with quality food, though the pricing keeps it from being a must-visit. I'd still come back to finally try that Cubano.

Reuben (5/5): I really thought their pastrami couldn't be beat, but the brisket is dare I say better? Just as tender and feels a bit less fatty, so it's a little more crushable. Tip: go for the seeded rye over the marbled rye; something about the marbled rye just falls apart a bit more with the juices of the meat, though it's still delicious! Black & White Cookies (4/5): I expected this to be cloyingly sweet, but this was actually scrumptious with some fresh lemon flavor in the cookie itself. Absolutely massive as well.
