    DRIP TEA @ SEATTLE Parking is a little tough here since it's mostly street parking. Because it's downtown, it can be difficult to find a spot, but we were luckily able to find street parking about a block away. I'd recommend being prepared to do a few circles, you'll eventually find something. I absolutely love Drip Tea. I've been to this location a couple of times now, and I always get their Cookies & Cream blended drink. It's seriously so good. They add this hot-fudge-like sauce into the boba, so every sip is incredibly rich and delicious. If you're looking for more of a shake-style drink with boba, I highly recommend this one. If you're more into fruity or milky drinks, their mango green tea is another favorite of mine. You really can't go wrong with it, especially if you add boba. It also comes with mango bits, which makes it even better. Honestly, you can't miss with any of their drinks everything I've tried has been amazing. I also love the ambiance of this place. I could genuinely sit here all day. The space is pretty big, with plenty of tables to choose from, and they even have their own clothing line that you can browse while you're there. The staff are super friendly, and the music and overall vibe are amazing, very retro and really cool. I would definitely recommend stopping by this location. They also recently opened a new location in Bellevue, Washington, which is worth checking out as well. That one is a bit different since it's located in the middle of a food court, so you don't quite get the same vibe as the downtown Seattle location, but it's still a great option.

    I would come back. Staffed by one person. You order on a kiosk. The drink came out in 2 minutes. So very very fast. Bright interior. You can come with friends and they have games. Drink was good and I would come back

    Another coffee shop review! Your standard chill coffee shop vibes. I haven't explored coffee shops too much in the Cap Hill area. I was mainly looking for a Viet coffee. They have a self ordering screen which is nice! I think it's on the pricier side for a medium sized coffee, but given the location it's an understandable. Would I come here again? Maybe, I would but it's not in my regular rotation but good to know it's here. I would explore other coffee shops before I come back.

    Drinks - pretty good. Lots of variety. You can adjust sweetness and add toppings. Service - staff was helpful. Self order on kiosk. Drinks came out quick. Ambiance - pretty big location. Lots of seating. Art of Mac miller & Kobe on the walls. And a mortal kombat arcade game you can play for free! Lots of things in the area too so a good place to pick up a drink. Walk around to check out what's close by or take the dog to the park down the way as you sip on your milk tea.

    Love the aesthetic of this place, clean & quiet. As a first timer, I don't what to get but opted for their blended tea. I ordered the bob cat & the boys wanted the snake eyes.... dang it was so good!!! Service is quick even if there is only 1 person there

    Stumbled across this boba place as I was in the area and it did not disappoint. The inside was bright, clean and gave a calming feel to it all. You can order with a cashier or order through their self order tablet which was so convenient. My boba came out quickly after I ordered and it was delicious! Highly recommend.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #84 Drip Tea happened to be right across the street from a food stand where we ordered lunch. Since there wasn't any seating available, we decided to visit this boba shop for a sweet drink and to eat our sandwiches. Black Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7.25) - Woah, this drink is extremely viscous. It's almost to the level of being gloopy like it's been thickened with cornstarch. It's so thick that each sip covers the entire mouth in a film that allows the taste of the drink to linger for a long time. Unfortunately the taste isn't the best - it's only mildly tea flavored with a sweetener that's harsh and a bit overwhelming. At half sweet it's not overly saccharine, but somehow it covers up everything else in the drink. I would probably opt for 25% sweet at max for any drink served here. The boba is actually quite good. It seems to be soaked a long time in a sweet marinade, allowing a soft satin layer to develop on the outside. The interior is nicely bouncy. It firms up quickly in the cold liquid, but never to the point of becoming too firm. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 I wasn't expecting much out of Drip Tea, but their boba is decent enough. I assume their specialty drinks are way better - I'll definitely be back for more. I am especially interested in the Hojicha Corn Latte. We asked the bobarista about this one and apparently they mash corn together with sweeteners to make their housemade corn syrup. Bathrooms - Single unisex room that requires a code that's printed on top of the receipt. We revisited the following week for the special Hojicha Corn Latte, Less Ice w/ Boba ($8.75) - Oomph, expensive drink over $10 after tax and tip. It's really interesting. I wouldn't say it has much of a hojicha flavor - it's only slightly roasty, but instead it does kind of taste like corn. It's sweet and almost a little grassy. There's a bit of particulate matter, tiny pieces of the corn kernel that settle on the bottom of the drink, giving more of a sweet corn flavor. The sweetness is a little much for me and while the bobarista said that the sweetness can't really be adjusted, she did put in a little less of the syrup for us. Unfortunately I'd have to say that the drink looks really unappetizing after being shaken up. It's like a light brownish grey color, which my wife described as the color of dirty dishwater pus. The boba isn't as good this time unfortunately. It's firmer and doesn't seem to be soaked as long in the marinade, so the pearls are smooth and not that flavorful. Not bad, but just not as good as the previous week. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 So overall, Drip Tea serves some very decent to good boba in drinks that are a bit too sweet compared to other shops. I wouldn't come for the regular milk teas, since there are better options nearby, but it's a good choice for the unique and more adventurous drinks.

    Arrived on a Sunday afternoon, there was a line and only one employee working, hustling to finish all the orders. My review is mostly based on the wait time, it took 25 mins until I got my drink which was a little frustrating. Employee was nice, cool vibes. Hire more people management! Drink itself was sweet but good flavor. I got the yellow heart with lychee.

    I went during their persona tea collab. My friend loves persona and wanted me to grab some merch. It's cool that they have collabs like this. I got the cylon tea and thought the tea was pretty good. The boba is not chewy which was a bit disappointing. There is a self-order screen and another with cashier, but when I went it wasn't busy. I wanted to ask some questions, but I felt like the employees were too preoccupied making drinks for the customers before me. Parking can be hard to find around the area.

    I loved: Hokkaido Cylon Tea Taro Oreo Heard this place was a flop but I'm glad I didn't listen. Can't speak for the normal drinks but these Persona 3 Reloaded collab drinks are amazing. The boba itself is definitely on the better end. Chewy with just enough bite. Service is very normal for a boba place. They didn't take too long but weren't super quick. With all the decorations, this place was great and there was plenty of seating. I wish they had some more big group tables but I get that most people aren't bringing 10+ people in

    Match Maker
    Winnie L.

    This was the boba shop in Seattle I was most excited to try, been a huge fan of their YouTube channel! I got the match maker and the lavender flavor was divine. Very fragrant floral notes and it wasn't artificial tasting at all. The drink primarily tasted like lavender milk with a slight hint of matcha. I wished that the matcha and lavender was on par with each other without one flavor overpowering the other. The interior of Drip Tea is on point! Lots of seating, plants, and a photo opp moment with their bear bottle mascot in the front of the shop. They also play kpop music videos in the background on their TV. Super cute and trendy place to bring a friend or a date after some shopping on Capitol Hill!

    Monogram and Abloh
    Carrie M.

    This boba shop has a cool vibe with "designer drinks." I got the Abloh, which was a refreshing passionfruit and mango green tea with mango bits. My friend got the Monogram, which is their classic brown sugar milk tea with boba. You order at the kiosk, and we got our drinks very quickly. The mango bits were quite difficult to suck up the straw, as some pieces were too big for the straw. I gave up on eating them after a while. There are plenty of tables and seating inside, and they have an arcade game you can play. The floating rotating sneaker on the counter is an interesting choice of decor. The drinks are pricey, but within the expected price range for a trendy boba shop.

    The monogram is really good if you want something on the sweeter side! The Nigo is also really good if you want something refreshing!

Their strawberry ice cream is probably my favorite strawberry ice cream in all of Seattle Seattle's best tea? Hard to say, but Seattle's best value tea? 100%. Every single time I have visited Seattle Best Tea, the staff has been incredibly warm and welcoming. However it had been a while since I've visited since boba everywhere costs closer to $10 these days. But I got a chance to visit recently, and lo and behold a cup of milk tea with egg pudding: $6.50 plus tax! And milk tea is still fantastic, with strong tea flavor, even if you skimp on the sugar (at least as low as 30%). I also splurged for some ice cream recently, and despite feeling like a random addition, is actually incredibly soft and creamy. The pistachio has real nuts in there and is full of pistachio flavor without any artificial taste. The strawberry ice cream? My goodness, don't you always wish that strawberry ice cream had more strawberry flavor? Even at Molly Moon's, don't you feel like the strawberry is just not punchy enough? Not the case at Seattle Best Tea, that strawberry ice cream will hit you in the face and send you into a state of strawberry bliss. This was such an unexpected find I can't stop raving about it, and the next time I have a craving for strawberry ice cream, Seattle Best Tea is going to be on the top of my list.

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.

    I've previously had HeyTea in their Bellevue location, so I expected more or less the same when I…read moregot to this one on a hot, sweaty Tuesday evening around 5:40pm. Because it was hot and sweaty, a big sea of people were waiting both outside and inside this place, and I saw only about 5 or so staff members making all the drinks. There's only two tables and two benches to sit at on the right-hand side of the place; otherwise, the rest of the space is behind the counter where all the drinks are made and the strong aromatic aroma of tea fills the interior. From my visit here, I think you can only place orders either through their lone kiosk to the left-hand side of the entrance near a corner, or by scanning the QR code at the front of the entrance and following prompts on your phone. Staff was too busy making drinks to take orders at the front counter when I was inside. Either way, you have to use the HeyTea app to scan a QR code (on the receipt you get after placing your order) if you want to see an estimate on when your drink(s) will be ready. By the time I signed up for an account and downloaded the app using the slow 5G, my estimated time was 25 minutes; however, the wait for my triple supreme matcha latte (with extra matcha, less sugar and all other things in their recommended settings) ended up being more than 45 minutes as I walked around the perimeter and waited inside and outside this location as well. It was really chaotic trying to get my drink once it was ready; people were cutting in front of me and others to show staff their receipt and pick up their orders even though I was in front of the line. Taste wise though, the matcha is a strong ceremonial blend with grassy tones that actually caught me by surprise. That's because they have a matcha cheese cloud which I thought would have dulled the matcha taste but it didn't! There's also matcha mochi and what tasted like matcha jelly on the bottom which further strengthened the earthy tones. Probably because it was really hot as of this writing, the ice melted much fasted than usual so that's out of this place's control and therefor doesn't detract from my experience itself. Wait here was really long for just one drink but I'm thankful there's something you can use to see when your drinks are ready - in this case, their HeyTea app. I would probably only come back if I was around the area, though wait times for drinks might deter me from doing so altogether.
