    Delicious bubble waffle
    Katie N.

    Made an online order, for an afternoon pick me up. Their service was real quick. The staff was incredibly friendly when I got my order and made my drink when I arrived. The bubble waffle was light, airy, crispy on the outside, chewy and delicious on the inside. I accidentally ordered the brown sugar boba fresh milk instead of the milk tea boba. But nonetheless, it tasted really good. The prices are reasonable. The store is located between Moctezuma Mexican Restaurant and JCPenny from the outside. Overall, it was great.

    Handmade Punch Lime Green Tea

    My cousins and I stopped by to get bubble tea while shopping. I got the Handmade Punch Lime Green, and added boba and fresh strawberry chunks, which turned it into a pricey bubble tea. But it was good. I enjoyed it. Tasty and flavorful. Tapioca texture was good. Everyone else also enjoyed their drinks. Cute little place and friendly service

    Park by JC Penney or Moctezuma Restaurant for closest access. It's located at the kids common play area and across from the JC Penney entrance, anime and candy store. Friendly service and the mangoes they use are the champagne mangoes (which are the best ones we buy at a store) very much like Manila mangoes and descended from the delicious Philippines Mango that were brought to Mexico many years ago. So mangoes are sweet and delicious. I recommend any of the mango drinks if you choose to try it out. You can order at a touch screen kiosk if using a card to pay

    Mango Sago without the grape fruit
    Maria L.

    The last few times I came here to Jay Tea, the cashier/baristas have been so helpful! Such a cute spot! I ordered the same thing all three times, which was the mango sago without the grapefruit. This is so good, refreshing, and a good size cup! There's a little handle thing to put your cup in too for carry out! I will keep on returning for more and maybe I will try something else. But you can't go wrong with the mango sago!

    We came to the mall to stop by at Uniqlo and decided to walk around after. We saw that this place was in the mall, and it had good reviews so we decided to stop by. My husband got the mango Jasmine tea smoothie with 75% sugar because he knew I would like it, and it was highly rated. The number one item was a mango grapefruit sago smoothie, which our friend got. We tried both drinks and the mango grapefruit sago smoothie was definitely the winner. After leaving the store and walking around some more, my husband decided he wanted to go back for the mango grapefruit sago... that's how good it was! He got it 100% sugar this time. I really appreciate this place used real fruit in their drinks... you actually see them cutting up the mango, and you taste it in your drink. I also like how well-blended the drinks are-- no ice chunks! I usually get 30% sugar for drinks because I often find them to be too sweet. I will say that the drinks here even at 100% sweetness are "not too sweet." I still enjoyed 70% sweetness, and that would probably be my go to here. Just keep this in mind when adjusting sugar level :) The people here are really nice, and the place is clean. There is seating inside where you can sit while waiting or can enjoy your drinks/desserts there too. We will definitely make it a point to stop by here again on our next trip to/from Seattle.

    Boba Milk Tea, Fruit Bubble Waffle
    Finn A.

    Once again, I must reiterate just how much I cherish this business. Located next to the kids play area and accessible from multiple entrances (I go through JcPenny), its not hard to miss and certainly not worth missing. Excellent Boba milk tea, its all i ever get. My problem with boba sometimes is either sugar levels or milk to tea ratio but Jay tea is incredibly consistent in their quality regardless of who's serving you. Not to forget their other menu items, the bubble waffle. They take something classic and simply delicious and add a fantastic semi sweet cream with freshly chopped fruit. Perfect for somebody who's looking for a sweet treat thats not too sweet. Id honestly call their fruit bubble waffles refreshing and a perfect light dessert despite the size. Perfect service, very chill location and plentiful seatings. Please never go away Jay tea

    Strawberry Jasmine green tea smoothie and the green grape Jasmine green tea smoothie

    The drinks that we got were alright. It was a smoothie but was really icy and was almost like a slushy but harder. The taste wasn't too bad. The service was decently fast. The cup sleeves was great though! Helped to carry our drinks while we walked around the mall. The interior is pretty small but contemporarily decorated and had a modern theme.

    This bubble tea place is inside Westfield Southcenter Mall, which has lots of parking but gets atrociously packed during peak hours, which is mostly weekend afternoons and evenings. Interior is nothing too special, just plain walls with some logos pertaining to the store inside. You order using a touch screen, and they have milk teas and bubble waffles. Not much to say about service here. I ordered a regular boba milk tea, and you can choose to put a cup holder on your cup if you want. Drink was nothing special, maybe I should have gotten something more unique from the menu. I was also sad that there wasn't an option to have oat or almond milk as a substitute for any of the drinks on the menu. Regardless, I'd come again to try their other flavors and even their bubble waffles too!

    No customer that evening
    Maitreya M.

    To be honest, I did not expect Jay Tea to be that bad. I order 1 drink w no ice & no sugar. However, my cup is full of ice, just a little bit of fresh juice and some green grapes on the bottom. The drink is yucky! Complete 0 points and the Customer Service is worst! The lady isn't friendly or funny, the new stuff the guy did not listen when I said I do not want ice in my drink. I order another one as milk tea, still sucks to the core. Will never come back! They should have done better or re-make the drink! Wasted 20$ in my life for this place! Ain't fun ain't coming back! YUCK'

    Tried here for the first time in the back of the mall. Only one person was making drinks so it took about at least 15 minutes for the drinks to be ready. The Boba had no flavor and was pretty firm and not chewy as expected. The tea itself was average.

    We had our first visit today. This place is located right across from the kids' play area on the first floor. They have some flavors; but not as much as Happy Lemon has. The pricing is competitive. What I liked is when I said I did not want a drink that had added sugar or even overly sweet, they suggested the mango drink. It was perfect! What makes this place standout from other boba tea places is their cups are better constructed! They don't give you your drink in a thin cup. AND, they put a carry handle on the cup!! Finally a place that makes it easier to carry your cold/hot drink around. (See pics). I recommend this for place for your next beverage!

    Grape with cream foam, mango grapefruit sago
    Lea S.

    I think it's more accurate to rate based on drink: 1. Mango grapefruit sago: 4/5. Nice mellow flavor and textures worked well together. This one is slightly less thick and yogurt-like than most others I've tried, which I prefer. 2. Grape tea: 2/5. It was decent at first, and glad that it's made with fresh grapes. However, I kept getting a lot of sips of of only grape skin, which ended up being quite bitter. Salty cream also felt like it clashed and masked the grape flavor overall. Each of these drinks was over $8 before any extra additions, which is slightly above average. Would be willing to come back and try other flavors, but only if I'm already at the mall.

    Generous toppings & fresh fruit! Seriously good place for mango drinks. They have stacks of mangos in the back, and gallons of fresh milk, you can really taste the special love they put into making each drink. Best part: they give you a little sleeve strap to hold your drink on your arm while you do your shopping. x100000 points for being so smart about this!! This store is located in the corner back of the southcenter mall, near Tokyo (the anime toy store), across from candy tyme, the kid's play area, and right by the JC penny's.

They ship within 48 hours of roasting their coffee to ensure you're getting the best flavor.

The perfect…read morespot to grab a bite to eat before a flight, especially if you're in need of a coffee fix and the Starbucks line is insane. Unlike Starbucks, they actually have legit ube flavor (and other Filipino flavors like pandan and turon) for their drinks. I got an ube matcha (super delish, tho in the future I'd ask for less sweet) and a spam musubi (wrapped in plastic wrap, which makes it the perfect airport snack to eat without having to touch it with your hands). It's a little out of the way tucked near Gate 21, but I'd definitely take the short detour if you have the time for some yummy treats!

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #109…read more I was not expecting much out of Neighborhood Bubble Tea and Cafe - Boba in an airport in the US? No way it could be any good! But on a recent trip to Nashville, we decided to trudge all the way over from the A-gates to give this place a try. This shop is tucked away in the side arm of the D-gate area, making it much less crowded than the main walkway in the terminal. There are two ways to order - firstly via the kiosk (no line when we visited) and secondly in person (a line of 5 or 6 people). Black Milk Tea w/ Boba ($8) - I ordered via kiosk to save time and totally blanked on the fact that it doesn't allow ice or sugar level adjustments. Just as I went to pick up the drink about 5 minutes after my order, I thought about this fact and started worrying about the sugar levels. At 100% sweet, I typically find most other boba shops cloyingly sweet. This place, fortunately, uses cane sugar, so the sweetness is more mellow and not as grating. Even at full sweetness, while a little too much for my palette, isn't harsh or overwhelming. The drink comes with whole milk by default. Unlike other more premium shops that only add a splash of milk on top, this one seems to be more like 50/50 tea vs. milk. This adds a bunch of richness to the drink, but also increases the dairy flavor quite a bit, which combined with the sugar overpowers the tea a little. There's still some of the malty and somewhat fruity notes towards the end of the sip. They add a ton of ice. That's something I will definitely be asking for adjustment on in the future. The boba isn't bad at all. There are some issues with consistency in terms of size and due to that, texture. They are soaked in brown sugar syrup, giving a soft and velvety texture on the exterior. The smaller pearls are chewy throughout, while the larger pearls are a bit too firm and grainy towards the center. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 I was really surprised by the quality of the drink I received. Honestly, before visiting, I thought this would be more of a 2 star kind of place! They also serve some really intriguing Filipino snacks that I'd love to come back to try out.
