    I'm very selective when it comes to boba spots so, I would say im critical in how I rate places. Speaking strictly about their drinks. I would say if I was craving a boba and I was in the area. I would come here for a boba. While the texture of my boba wasn't as QQ as i'd like. the overall flavors of the drinks were good. I got the sea salt Ube milk tea and my partner got the mango sago smoothie. These two drinks were solid. What I enjoyed about the sea salt Ube is that it comes layered so you can either enjoy it either mixed or separated.the Ube flavor really came through with that slight earthy but sweet taste. Lots of places don't do Ube justice, but I would say this place does in accordance to the drink. I got more money with 75% sweetness and light ice. It was just the right amount of sweetness for me. The mango sago smoothie is exactly what I expected with the right textures. Definitely would recommend on a nice warm day. It's refreshing and not heavy. Shout out to the staff for just being awesome, welcoming, and great facilitators. They provided helpful insight in helping us come to a decision without rushing us as a line slowly began to form. Shout out to the guests behind us for being patient as well.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #65 I've been to two other DIY Tea Lab locations and found the drinks they serve to be pleasant. Since I was in the area for an event, I decided to drop by the Fremont location for a drink after lunch. As with the others, this DIY Tea Lab is paired with a poke place and seems to be a great choice to get both food and a sweet drink at the same time. They even have a couple of 30 minute loading zone parking spots in front of the shop, making it easy to drop in and out for pickup. Ordering is done on a kiosk and the drinks come out fast. Classic Milk Tea, 50% Sugar, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7) - This drink has a decent black tea flavor combined with perhaps a bit too much creamer, but mostly consistent in richness and flavor with the other two DIY Tea lab locations I've been to. The ice level is a bit too much at half, but sweetness at half is on point, pretty much perfectly not too sweet (probably comparable to 25% sweet at other boba shops). The boba is a little on the soft side, compressing very easily on the tongue into a flat disk. The pearls are slightly sweet and still have a good amount of bounce despite the softness. Interestingly enough, I found the boba to be too firm at the other two locations. This one is on the other side of the spectrum! Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 I honestly don't understand why the average rating on Yelp for most DIY Tea Lab locations is so low. The drinks they serve are above average and they have shops conveniently located in areas that don't have many other competitors. I usually expect those boba shops to be first gen type of places, with cheap powders and syrups galore (sometimes even using powdered tea!), but DIY Tea Lab is definitely a step above. Bathrooms - None that I could find.

    Good variety and unique drink combos, tea flavor and boba consistency was perfect! Dairy free options available as well Also part of a poke restaurant, which is very convenient!

    Solid Boba spot that does the job. Was working in the area and saw this place, so I had to check it out. Lots of different customizable options and a wide variety of interesting drinks and flavors. The Panda Sesame wasn't my favorite as it was a bit dry tasting, but the black sesame flavor is good if you like sesame flavored drinks. The staff member that assisted me was super friendly as well.

    Honestly a little disappointed in the drinks that we got. I ordered the classic jasmine milk tea and my husband got the Signature fruit tea. My drink literally tasted like milk, I didn't taste any tea. The boba was also ok, not really tasty. The Signature fruit tea was wayyy to sweet. We ordered it like 50% sweet but it felt like it was over 100%. I'm not sure if it was just an off day or something but I definitely didn't enjoy these drinks. Ordered via kiosk, inside was fairly spacious. Ample parking on the street but you do have to walk.

    Nice and refreshing for this weather A nice place to get something refreshing near the bus stop by the bridge in Fremont (about 2~3min walk from the bus stop). They also have poke in the same location.

    Sea Salt Ube Milk tea with Tapioca
    Nicole S.

    Came here to grab a boba and was very happy with the decision I made. The tea was the perfect amount of sweetness even at 100% and the tapioca balls were the perfect texture. I'm very particular and have been drinking boba tea for years and this was a really good place to try. The customer service was both helpful and honest and I really appreciated that they were transparent about the offerings they had with answers to all of my questions. My tea was with ice and it didn't compromise flavor so I was quite happy. There are only two critiques I have; the floor is straight cement so when people pull out their chairs without lifting it's a loud and obnoxious sound and the other one is a small thought but I didn't notice as many flavor options or DIY when I went there to customize my drink. But honestly not an issue at all, too good of a tea to be unsatisfied, will definitely try other flavors soon!

    Pretty cool spot on our way to gas work park in Fremont. We decided to try this place and get some new drinks. And it was so good. It was the the best one out of the 3 place we went on our trip

    Ben's Blue Skies - IG @bougiefoodieboi
    Kyle W.

    Unfortunately, this place is not good and I can't sugarcoat it. A good amount of the reviews are correct. The drink is already sugarcoated enough. The menu they provided at the board is actually just a subset of items, so you will want to check out the kiosk at the store and order from there for their full menu. I got the Ben's Blue Skies with half sugar and half ice, which came out to a little under $7.50 after tax, which is a bit high for a boba drink. The drink itself does look pretty - fresh milk with butterfly pea flower tea, strawberry puree, and mango puree. Mixing it all together, I started drinking. It is definitely NOT 50% sweet as it felt actually like 150% sugar honestly. I said less ice and I saw them fill the drink to the brim with ice like what??? What is the worker up to, doing the exact OPPOSITE of what I requested? The boba texture is also pretty okay - a bit on the mushier side. I almost wanted to call it quits and just toss the whole drink altogether. I think this is probably one of the lowest quality boba places I have tried.

I didn't want to ask too many questions given the growing line. I don't think any of the drinks included toppings, so that's an additional charge. I guess it's been a while since I had boba cause the average price was $7-8 without any toppings! The drink was great and tasted delicious, but the operation itself can be better.

Ordering is quick using the kiosk right in front and the staff are very friendly, getting the drinks prepared and out within a couple of minutes. Signature Milk Tea, Less Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Brown Sugar Boba ($7.25) - Interesting. This is the 2nd time in Seattle I've seen a boba shop put a piece of wax paper in between the cup and the lid, to allow the customer to shake the drink and get that satisfy pop of a boba straw piercing the top. This drink is ridiculously sweet, so cloying that my mouth puckered while sipping on it. I could not drink more than a couple of sips before having to stop. It's perhaps 200% or maybe even 300% sugar level as compared to other places. The taste is also not very pleasant to me. Not only is it extremely harsh but for some reason, there's somewhat of a stale undertone to the entire drink, kind of reminding me of the essence of cardboard mixed with an old Chinese herb shop. I believe they use real tea leaves to brew their tea, so the taste is puzzling. The ice level at half is essentially like full ice at any other establishment. When the drink is completely cooled, the ice still fills up approximately the top third of the cup. When I visited, they had just run out of the regular boba, but they still had the brown sugar boba in stock. For the same price as the regular boba? Great! And then I bit into my first one.... This is not boba. The pearls are agar based cuboids. Why call these brown sugar boba? That's false advertising in my book. Milk Tea Rating: 2/5 (and I'm being generous) Boba rating: 1/5 I feel bad giving such a low rating to this family owned establishment, but the drink I got was not up to par. Given the high ratings from other reviewers, I have to assume that I just received a poorly made drink and they're usually better. Bathrooms - One unisex room Edit: I stashed the drink in my fridge for a couple of days and after diluting it by about half with freshly brewed assam tea, it's much more palatable due to the reduction in sweetness. The harsh taste stale is still there, though, and there's still no tea flavor.
