    It's so nice to finally have a boba tea shop on this side of West Seattle! I've been visiting this location often and it's been slowwwwly improving since its grand opening a month and half ago. This location tends to "run out" of boba or other toppings, or doesn't have the drink items advertised in the store (ex: roasted Okinawa tea - the drink and the bottle were not available with no ETA on getting it in) so you're never sure what you'll end up with. The employees I've interacted with do not seem to know some of the drink ingredients well. I asked about the crystal boba ingredients - since some shops soak in sweetener - and they couldn't answer me. I asked about the dairy ingredient they subbed (without asking me first) for a drink I was picking up for a friend and they could not answer. Here's hoping for better training because this is the only spot here to get our boba fix.

    One of the things I appreciate about this place is they get the order right every time. Roasted milk tea: No sugar, medium ice, with boba. I also like how I'm not waiting an eternity for a single order. Maybe I've been lucky but i'm not waiting too long whenever I'm here and it's usually quiet inside. I highly recommend pairing your drink with their mochi donuts, they've got a good selection. I ended up getting a couple of visually appealing dochis; one with fruity pebbles toppings and one with chunks of chocolate. I'll be hitting this place up the next time I'm looking for some decent boba.

    I had even tried boba or any of these tea places. Ever. But then I saw this one near my nail salon and realized being the hot and iced tea fanatic I am, it needed to be tried. I still don't want to try boba but I was pretty taken by their black tea with lemon and the ability to adjust the sugar level, do it hot or iced, and add fun things like puff cream. The C1 black tea with lemon is really so good and a classic way to go. I may eventually try some of the other options but this is my go to and recommend with low or no sugar and add a topping if you're feeling a treat. Friendly and fast service, clean shop, and good addition to Westwood Village.

    I was super excited for this because it added some ~excitement~ to Westwood Village but each time I have gone, and others I know have gone, it's been pretty dissapointing. I have got a few times but kept giving them chances before I left a review. -first time, it was during their soft opening. We went in because we saw the BOGO deal and by the time we ordered, we realized it was only specific drinks. Weird promo to get people in but okay lol. -second time, my boyfriend and I got 3 drinks and waited about 20 minutes. It wasn't super busy and there was just ready made drinks to be handed out so there were a few parties just standing there waiting. They finally call out my number so I go up to them but told them I am missing one more drink. They look around and realize it is in the machine that puts the plastic seal so the worker grabbed it.. and put it on the counter with all the other drinks to be handed out.. instead of handing it to me while I'm standing right there since he knows that's what I'm waiting for. I couldn't even grab anyone's attention so we ended up waiting 5 more minutes for my drink before soemone handed it out. -third time, I got a bubble waffle and it was raw and dough-y in the middle. It also took an extra 5 minutes after it was done until they actually handed it out. Some pros: they have a lot of parking, the inside is very cute and their mango matcha smoothie is yummy. Each time I come here, I'm given reason to not come back but I keep giving them more chances. I hope this is just them trying to figure out everything since they did just recently open.

    It's great to see a bubble tea shop collaborating with a mochi-donut shop! Now you can taste 2 pleasures in one place: mochi donut and bubble waffles! Happy lemon has always been a favorite, but it's unfortunate to report that this shop is smaller than other locations. And due to this fact, their menu is also smaller. I can only recommend this location if you're a fan of the more basic flavors bubble tea has to offer.

    I may eventually try some of the other options but this is my go to and recommend with low or no sugar and add a topping if you're feeling a treat.

    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 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.
