    Vietnamese coffee milk tea
    Wisnu R.

    Pretty good boba spot. Not mind blowing good, but good enough to go again. Vietnamse Coffee milk boba - 4/5. I wish it would be stronger like vietnamese coffee; boba had great texture. Chicken Kaarage- 3.5/5 Not the crunchy chicken popcorn type. I asked for extra spicy and they delivered; which is nice. But overall; its like a chicken nugget. Not sure if they make from scratch. The place itself is pretty chill; plenty of space to sit.

    Good place to get boba! Lots of unique drinks that are sweet! I recommend and would come back!

    Lots of parking out front. Cute store. Some tables to sit and chat. You can order on their ipad. Pictures with their drinks, which is nice. I got the passionfruit green tea. Even with 50%, it was still pretty sweet. I would recommend getting 25%!!

    Sea Salt Ube Milk Tea

    I have been a customer here for years. Staff is always kind, drinks, and food are amazing. I have never had a bad experience here. Every time I visit staff is so friendly and drinks are tasty, this place rocks! My favorite time to come is on the weekends when they sell mochi donuts!!! They have the best Ube mochi donut I have ever had tbh. My favorite go to drink is the sea salt Ube milk tea with boba! So bomb :) Limited table seating inside so I usually take to go. This will always be one of my favorite places to get boba and a mochi donut. I highly recommend DIY Tea Lab Newcastle location!

    Roasted Black Sesame Milk Tea ($5.95), 25% sugar, no ice, boba (+$0.75)

    This was my first time back to DIY Tea Lab in Newcastle since Covid. They've updated their menu and also have a special coconut series going on this summer. New items include: Sea Salt Ube, Mango Sago, Roasted Black Sesame Milk Tea, Vietnamese Coconut Coffee, and others. You can also customize fruit and green teas, but not milk teas. As far as I know, they no longer do the chemistry tube kits; they instead make the drink for you behind the counter You order via kiosk and so there's no one taking your order. This past visit I ordered the ROASTED BLACK SESAME MILK TEA (+$5.95) with 25% sweetness, no ice, and boba (+$0.75). My brother ordered the WHITE PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA (+$5.95) with 50% sweetness and light ice. There was only a short line when we arrived and so we got our orders within 5-10 minutes after ordering. The ROASTED BLACK SESAME MILK TEA was decent and had okay black sesame taste. It was basically your regular black milk tea with some black sesame powder 25% sweetness was very accurate for this drink as it was only slightly sweet. It tasted like the black sesame milk tea they serve at Bobae. The tapioca pearls were nice and chewy and weren't overly cooked. I'd give this drink a 3.5/5. The PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA was honestly a huge miss and probably the worst drink I've gotten from them. I don't like oolong to begin with, but this drink was extremely bitter and had just a little bit of artificial peach flavor. The milk didn't cut any of the bitterness and I don't think upping the sugar level would've helped much. I'd give this drink a 1/5. The interior is clean and there's limited indoor seating. Bathroom is clean too. Overall, 3/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere.

    I ordered the peach oolong milk tea with boba with 25% sugar. I like it! I'd come back to check out their other drinks on the menu. Service was fast even tho there was a long line. There is some seating inside!

    Thai ice tea.

    After hiking we stopped in for a Thai Ice Tea. In addition to having a wide variety of drinks, they also sell mochi donuts - YUM! One very cool thing was they have a sign with all their drinks on a window facing the pathway so basically see the menu without entering the store. I appreciate that. You order through the kiosk, and the drinks have options for sugar levels, ice, etc. You have to select these options so if you don't know, what's the level is in a standard drink, it can throw ya off. We ordered Thai iced teas and mochi donut. The mochi doughnut was so good. The donuts are supplied by milkvue. The Thai Ice teas were ok. I don't think I'd order that again, but I definitely would like to try other items on the menu.

    Taro milk, tea

    Me and my basketball team came here after a big win and the bubble tea was great! I am getting the taro milk, tea

    Delicious and refreshing! It's great that you can customize your drink from sweetness to ice level and they have so many options! Friendly staff and lots of parking right out front.

    Any chances you'll be open after 7pm? I find myself craving hot taro milk teas in the evening.

    Unfortunately not at this moment. Once the coronavirus situation gets better and under control, we will have our normal hours from 11am to 9pm. Thank you for your understanding.

    Are there non-dairy milk options?

    Yes, currently we have almond milk, soon we will try coconut milk and soy milk to see which one taste better.

    A custom boba drink shop that has a wide variety of options for drink mix and toppings! Absolutely…read moreshould be tried at least once, and you can taste test all of their drinks (except their specialty drinks that are made by the barista). You are able to mix and match toppings and teas. There are also slush options if you prefer a smoothie vibe! 5/5 - Regular Drink - Mix and matched tiger milk tea, black milk tea, and oolong milk tea with boba and lychee jelly. Sweet but not overbearing and super delicious!

    Shockingly, I have not taken the time to leave thoughts here. I was starting school when Boba Up…read morewas being built and had an extremely brief chat with the owner in 2018 as I inquired about the shop and concept. Honestly, they have a pretty mediocre reputation among Asians who are familiar with boba, but I'd say Boba Up is good for what it offers (overly sweet dessert). Perhaps a decent entry to assimilate into boba before venturing into the more authentic spots. To quickly get the cons out of the way, quality isn't super high and price started out lower than others but have been steadily increasing to match or surpass other boba spots. Sweetness cannot be lowered and by default, it's pretty high. Toppings can get stale (particularly the boba) as it's left out and not always fresh. They also supposedly offer a free birthday drink but it's almost impossible to redeem (eventually after over 5 minutes, might as well buy a drink - my friend just recently had this dilemma). For a quick list of pros, they are one of the closest options for boba near UW campus, they have the best opening flexibility (open later than every other spot), and obviously variety so there's almost something for everyone. Come here for sugar, desserty drinks, the customization of toppings, or just a refreshment. Don't come here expecting strong authentic tea. Decent amount of seating with board games available, so stay for the vibes. An occasional visit for me when I'm in the mood, but realistically not the best boba experience.

    Ah, 2021 was such a year when I first went here. 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!

    Drinks - I had the green thai. i rarely ever see this drink on the menu so i had to get it and it…read morewas pretty good. i actually thought it could have been a little sweeter, which i almost never say. very cute inside. they also had dog treats and mochi.
