Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #111…read more Tab Milktea is an interesting boba shop located in a shared commissary. The entrance is located on SW Snoqualmie St. The exterior door leads to a small vestibule, where a wall of wireless doorbells greets the customer, each for one of the businesses in the building. The owner of Tab is highly responsive, coming out within seconds of the bell, and is super friendly. All milk teas are made with Lactose-free milk! Yes! Classic Milk Tea, Small 24oz, 35% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($10.35) - Very interesting flavor with this milk tea, clearly with SE Asian influences. It's somewhat malty, but the strongest flavor by far is that of vanilla, with a tiny bit of almond-like nuttiness. Kind of like a variation of a strong Thai Tea, but less smoky. It's certainly not what I was expecting, but is very pleasant to sip on and is extremely fragrant. The body on this drink is phenomenal. It's so viscous and luscious, it coats the entire mouth with a creamy film. Less ice is perfect for this drink - since they use crushed ice, it doesn't take up too much room so they can maximize the amount of drink in the cup. At 35% sweet, which is what the owner recommended for people who don't like drinks too sweet (I usually order 50% at most shops), the drink is on the sweeter end on what's tolerable. My guess is the boba I added contributes a lot to sweetness, and the amount of extra fat in the drink enhances the transfer of sugar to the tongue. I'd probably go with 25% or less in the future. The boba is fine - I probably wouldn't get it in the future. The pearls are sweetened, but are a little on the tough side, too firm for my liking. $1 per topping is quite high as well and in my opinion for the quality is definitely not worth the price. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 $10.35 before tax is by far the most I've every paid for boba. Is it worth the price? That's debatable. I'd say Tab Milktea does use high quality ingredients, has clean and interesting flavors, and has an owner who's a blast to be around. I understand their pricing is higher most likely lower volumes. It's a small business worth supporting, but isn't a place I'd go to regularly simply due to pricing. It's really difficult for me to justify a drink that's 50% more expensive than other high quality (but not top quality) boba shops. Not to mention that there are places around with similar high quality (e.g. high quality tea leaves, no powder, no syrups, premium ingredients) that are more affordable but unfortunately aren't small businesses.

I do like that their tea is not too sweet. In terms of Boba, it's a little too chewy for my liking. I also find that the boba to liquid ratio varies by location. f you do get two toppings, recommend you do 1/2 of each instead of one full scoop of each. You do get charged more and it's also just way too many toppings. The staff are really friendly and willing to help you understand the menu if needed. The drinks come out quick too. Only con I could give is the location is a pain to get to but that is more on it being located in the junction. The parking lot is busy too so take caution thete. 4/5

The boba was perfectly cooked soft, chewy, and fresh and the drinks themselves were super smooth and flavorful. Everything tastes really intentional, not overly sweet, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. There can be a bit of a wait, but it's honestly worth it every time. The inside is minimalistic and so cute. Definitely a go-to spot when I'm craving good boba. I'll for sure be back!

After much deliberation, we went with a fruit tea (osmanthus mango + coconut jelly, light ice) and a tea latte (honey dong ding oolong tea + bubbles, hot). Both were very nice. One cool, fruity and refreshing. The other warm, comforting and smooth. The interior is spacious, but has limited seating. It was empty when we came in the early afternoon on a Tuesday. We would love to stop by again! Love how patient and efficient the staff were. And the interior design is very nice.

Tea quality is always top notch and even when there's a massive line, they manager to churn out their drinks within 15 - 20 minutes. My quick tip is if you see a large line in the mall, just order online and swing by 10 - 15 minutes. If you're not sure what to order, grab an oolong or black tea with cream. If you're looking for something without caffeine, the Organic Milk w/ Taro Ball and Paste is absolutely delicious with earthy taro flavor and the toppings were still warm with the cold milk. Seasonal Pineapple Snowy is also literally a Taiwanese pineapple cake in drink form. How did they get crunchies into the drink?

You really can't go wrong with any of the drinks but my all time favorites are the tieguanyin oolong milk tea with toppings and the strawberry milk tea, which I believe they have now rebranded to strawberry smoothie. Sugar is adjustable which is great because I love my drinks less sweet. I got the strawberry smoothie and bff milk tea this time, which I believe is black milk tea with egg pudding and grass jelly, and I added egg pudding. So delicious and creamy, and the smoothie does not give off an artificial fruit taste. One thing that was off-putting to me was the signage indicating their kiosk. The makeshift, handwritten message to turn around and use the kiosk seems passive aggressive and gives off the message that the workers do not want to talk to you. Other than that, we got our drinks pretty fast since it wasn't busy near closing, which was when I went.
