Bad customer service. Didn't even blend my drink that was supposed to be blended and was rude.

5/5! This became my favorite Boba place since it opened up. I always get avocado with tapioca. So if you never tried it, it's mandatory. They use fresh avocado and I can't give them enough props because other places I've been to either don't do avocado or use powder avocado which is disgusting. Can't beat real read more

This is my all time favorite bahn mi place! You have to try their grill pork sandwich and shrimp spring rolls, it is sooooooo good! I don't really care for their customer service, but their sandwich is so good that I can overlook that and still give them a 5 star. But really though, you might want to consider being a little bit more friendly to your repeat customers. read more

The drinks were good but I believed could have been done in a quicker manner(in comparison to other places). And this is considering how there was no one in the shop when we walked in. Things seemed to speed up a little around 12 when more customers came in. As for my friend's grilled pork(not pictured), it did not meet my usual expectations of what grilled meat is supposed to look like. Didn't seem crispy at all and she said the bread was hard but tasted good...hope they'll make better changes in the future! read more

Goatea - Avocado smoothie on the left and honeydew blended milk tea on the right - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kent, Washington

See all

We love bubble tea but not impressed with Goatea. Tried it 3 different times. Though the location is great we drive past and go elsewhere. The honey boba has a weird texture, the tea is bitter. Smoothies are just ok. Never tried the food, and smells delicious, so maybe that's what keeps them in business. read more

I love the Royal milk tea! My favorite boba tea in the area. Also the popcorn chicken is delish!

They make the very best bubble tea , and amazing customer service and I come here 3 times a week read more

Goatea - Papaya and mango mixed a must try!!!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kent, Washington

This place is great! Tiny little shop tucked in the Lowe's parking lot with $5 bahn mi and delicious smoothies.

Most boba places, the bread that they make their sandwiches with is hard to chew.. but this Goatea in Kent was amazingly good! Not too hard, not too soft. I was very surprised!! In a good way!! I always get the taro milk tea. I was craving so much sugar I accidentally got 50% so I honestly, I barely tasted it... still yummy though!!! read more

I'm not sure if this is the same chain w the one in federal way, but I like the federal way one better. I ordered the lychee milk tea and it tasted like cereal milk. Jasmine milk tea was also really watered down. read more

Really nice environment. Very mellow and laidback workers. Nice sandwiches. :) They have really nice tofu spring rolls that are amazing. As well as their passionfruit Mojito drink. I went there early evening a few costumer were there and it was really spacious for all of us. :) read more

Got a bubble tea from here a couple weeks back. Service was prompt and courteous. The drink itself was very good and not overly laced with sugar. I'd definitely visit again. This location is in a large Lowe's parking lot and accessible right off of 99. read more

Stick to the drinks sandwiches are inedible! For real could take more then one bite of pork or chicken bahn mi.

Have great opinions and are super friendly and kind with fast service. But this location is lacking in flavor options and types of drink options like there federal way location had which sadly was why I came here hoping it was the same as the federal way location but it's not so sadly wont be coming back read more

Good smoothie and a really tasty banh mi. Much better than I expected. I would definitely come back for more.

First time here and I just got an iced black tea and my boyfriend got the Honeydew Lychee with Lychee jelly and I was surprised how good it was. read more

YIKES. This place is a total let down. My boo and I went with hopes of having good drinks but this was just awful. We came in and a couple in front of us were ordering. They waited about 10-15 minutes just to pay because the machine was broken. If they waited that long, at least give them a free drink or something. It was my turn to order. My bae got a taro smoothie with crunchy boba and I got a passionfruit strawberry smoothie with egg pudding. WOW IT WAS BAD. My drink tasted like vegetables. It wasn't creamy and the flavors were just horrible together. It was like half creamy half watery. The taro was lacking flavor and the crunchy boba wasn't for me. Very weird hard jelly texture and tasted like artificial vanilla. OH and when we got the actual drinks, the taro smoothie had like red bits on the side of the cup inside?? It was leftover smoothie from the last drink they made. Uncleanly. Speaking of uncleanly, there were like 5 flies flying around in their. GROSS. They don't shut the door and there are a bunch of flies that are in there. I don't feel like bubble tea is appetizing when I see a bunch of flies around... I'm probably never come back. read more

I wish they had locations in renton! Me and my friends have been going here for a year now to meet and hang. We usually stay for several hours and cycle through a few drinks. My favorite is mango smoothie with crunchy boba. Crunchy boba is unique to goatea and I love it. I dislike regular bobas texture so this is great for me. They recently added new drinks!!! The new drinks slap to be honest. My newest favorite is vanilla matcha, sooo good! The chicken vietnamese sandwich is the best one out of all of them and I also usually get cheese sticks. Its also conveniently located by the college so I can go to class after. I plan to head there today!! Really, One of my favorite places to get great drinks and eat. read more

Great Jasmine milk tea! And they were so nice when I asked questions. I bought just a boba topping for my little one to eat too.

They should probably google what bubble tea is and then make it the way it's supposed to be made. I ordered a taro milk tea, which still had powdery globs in it because the girl didn't mix it well enough. The tapioca was too mushy and had a funny taste to them. Not returning here. read more

FRESH FRUIT SMOOTHIES RULE HERE!!! So creamy and delish! We also love the milk teas especially the Taro Mmmmm mmm. Don't listen to these other people whining and giving them low stars. Make up your own mind... Did i mention the Smoothies are awesome? 5 stars! read more

Their taro milk tea is the best 've ever had...that's all I have to say for a you boba alicianados. Try the school bus or flamingo. You're welcome :) read more

Found this location thanks to Yelp! Place is under a grand opening so it was a bit hard to find using Google Maps but it's located in the small building in the Lowe's complex... The drinks are good (Taro, Lavender, Hazelnut Thai, and a peach slush) and the boba has a good texture and taste. They have a different menu option of "crunchy boba" which sounds weird but is akin to round, chew(ier) aloe jelly. We tried the pork belly Banh Mi sandwich which was flavorful but pretty skimpy on the meat and filling; I suggest doing the 'extra meat' option if you try it out. read more

Looks like this place just opened and we LOVE going to the location in Federal Way so when we saw that one was opening up a few minutes from home this was a must try! The bubble tea was great and service was alright. But that's where the 2 stars stop... They leave their door open and there's literally like 20 flies flying around inside... It was disgusting!! We almost walked out because of that. Can you imagine all those flies around the cooking area?! Also my sister ordered chicken tenders and asked for sauce and all they had was ketchup.... -_- seriously? The bubble tea was great but I don't recommend anything else until they get more sanitized. read more

My favorite bubble tea and banh mi place in federal way now has a closer location to me, which is in Kent. Yay! So good, so fresh and their banh mis are super authentic (I'm Vietnamese, I should know!). Also their fries are strangely good and addicting, can't tell you why. Try this place - yum! read more

This place just recently opened up near my home I regret not finding it sooner. Everything is yum. Friendly service. Chill vibe. My new go to place for bubble tea (s/o to avocado) YES PLEASE. read more

I lovvvvve the avocado bubble tea smoothie here! It's super creamy and smooth. Staff are friendly and there are plenty of choices for bubble tea/toppings. The place is small, but very vibrant looking. There is also a section of snack food and viet sandwiches. In my opinion this bubble tea is the best compared to others in the Des Moines area. read more

Everytime I come here... they mess up my order. It used to be my favorite boba spot on pac highway. Not anymore. I ordered 3 drinks from them and they messed up 2 of them. I ordered an avocado/strawberry smoothie and they forgot to add avocado. My other drink that was a matcha salted cream, where my little brother asked for honey boba, and there was none. I should've looked before leaving the store. Don't come here, they have messed up my drink multiple times as well as others. read more

Hands down, the BEST pork banh mih in the area. When I really want a bang mih, I usually go down to Pho Tai near Southcenter mall. But, this place is even better! The bread is a good size and perfectly toasted. There's a good amount of meat and it just has this comfort food taste that is hard to find at other Vietnamese restaurants. I also ordered the chicken tenders and expected them to be skinny, but they were pretty thick and not too salty. I'm sure they used some frozen food brand, but whatever they chose, I give it a thumbs up. read more

I really love the popping boba here. Some of the best I've had. Really quaint. Love watching them make my drink.

I came across this place when they first opened and have been in love ever since! They have the best bubble tea! There are options when ordering, like sugar level, blended or on ice, choice of jelly type, and of course the flavor. I stop by every time I'm around. The food is also good! I'd say you must try if you already haven't! read more

I've been going to Goatea since they just opened. This is my go-to place for Vietnamese sandwich and boboa tea although I live in Bellevue. I highly recommend this place where good food is offered at a very good price. read more

Hands down was the best bubble tea I've had around Washington. I never make my way down to Federal Way but when I do, I make sure to stop by here. I'm reluctant to change my choices of drinks just because I hate change and am picky with my drinks. So I usually get Honey or Jasmine Milk Tea with lychee jelly. It never fails to satisfy me! Love love love it here! read more

This used to be my go to boba place but my last experience was horrible, I'm not coming back to this place ever again. I had a Thai tea blended drink that tasted like sour milk and it was also watery and melted. I had also ordered 3 other blended drinks for my family and they were all watery. Their quality has lessened and it's not worth coming back here anymore. read more

Cheap prices and the design of the places feels welcoming. The service isn't outstanding but it's good. Overall I think I found a new boba spot. read more

Glad to find a boba shop, boba was fine, chewy, good honey flavor but nothing to write home about, loved that I could get a truly "no sweet" Thai tea but the tea had been over steeped and was a bit bitter for my taste, only real down side was the shop had a greasy smell. Overall, good to grab a tea but not my fav. read more

The place is extremely convenient its right next to my school and they have very good bubble tea. They also serve great Vietnamese sandwiches and appetizers. I would definitely recommend their wings as they are delicious and really filling as a good early lunch. read more

Was shopping at Lowes and saw the new store so decided to give it a try. Bubble tea in this area is non existent to horrible so was really excited for the potential convenience of this location. Super cute store, very nice employees. My bubble tea was delish. Only 4 stars because they had run out of boba, how does that even happen? But the employee recommended I try jelly which I had never had before and it was good. I think I'd still prefer boba but I would get jelly again to mix it up. Overall, cute store and friendly service and yummy tea. ...I'll be back. Note, in one of the other reviews they spoke about the food and I didn't try that I just had tea. The review also talked about flies and that wasn't me experience at all (but the door was closed). Hopefully the store saw the review and addressed the issues. read more

Drinks are good but the service we recieved today was HORRIBLE! I smelled attitude every where! We got eyes rolling and lip smacking from the cashier when we were ordering. Even with all that, I still left a tip! read more

so so so good!! such a great spot for an after school bite/hw session!! I personally love their Tofu Bahn Mi (w/o soy sauce, add mayo). Along with either thai green tea or avocado smoothie :) read more
