A Molly Tea in walking distance is a wee bit dangerous! We recently landed in the area and were stoked to find that Molly Tea was part of the neighborhood! It's always a solid choice- strong teas and great drinks all done super well. My go-to is usually their Premium Jasmine Milk Tea. The tea flavor is fragrant, floral, and always shines through! This location is pretty big with some seating if you wanted to lounge around. However, as with all Molly Teas, it can get busyyyy. read more

Molly Tea - Premium Jasmine Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I've heard so much praise about Molly Tea, and now that the hype has finally died down, I came in to try some! For my first visit, I got the snowy jasmine. I absolutely loved the tea flavor, It's strong, floral, and fragrant, something you don't often see. The whipped cream was light, airy, and had a subtle jasmine flavor that really elevated the drink as a whole. I was worried it would be overrated and overpriced, but you can definitely taste the quality difference in the ingredients they use. The drinks alone are honestly a 5/5 for me. One thing that did rub me the wrong way was the service. Despite coming in on a fairly quiet day, there were a few staff members who (in my opinion) acted a bit disrespectful towards other customers. When you come into the store, there's a big order sign at the front of the booth, so most would assume to order from there. On the other side of the store though are two kiosks which make ordering simpler, so I guess they weren't using the actual order booth. I noticed that a line of customers had formed at the order booth but none of the staff were really interacting with them or telling them to use the kiosk instead. They were all kinda just chatting with one another and only alerted them about the kiosk once a customer asked for their attention. Not the most efficient process or positive interaction in my opinion. Despite all that though, the tea is definitely good enough for me to come back. read more

Note for myself: I did not like the peach oolong milk tea or the camellia zest, do not order again. Love their classic tho. read more

MOLLY TEA @ BELLEVUE Parking here can be a bit difficult. There is a parking lot, but it gets extremely packed since there are so many restaurants and businesses nearby. My friends and I luckily found street parking a little further up, so just be prepared to drive around for a bit if you don't find a spot right away. I've driven by this place so many times and always noticed how long the lines were, so I was surprised when I came on a Wednesday around 8 PM and there was no line. We ordered through the self-service kiosks they had two, but one was out of order, which slowed things down a lot. By the time we finished ordering, a long line had already formed behind us. Service-wise, I have to agree with a lot of the reviews I read beforehand it wasn't great. The staff didn't feel very welcoming, and it almost seemed like they didn't want to interact with customers. I had a few questions about the drinks, but it was hard to get anyone's attention. It also wasn't very clear if they were only doing self-order or not, which made the experience a bit confusing. I ended up getting a jasmine milk tea with boba, and toppings are about $1 each. My friends ordered a mango smoothie as well. The wait time was pretty long around 25 minutes--which felt excessive since there wasn't that many people to start with as we walked in, especially since I kept checking back and forth between the counter and our table. That said, the shop itself has plenty of seating and even a restroom for customers, which is a plus. Once we finally got our drinks, though, they were really good. The milk tea tasted higher quality than most, it wasn't overly sweet like typical boba shops. The boba was soft, flavorful, and the brown sugar added a really nice touch. read more

Quality of the tea is still phenomenal. Unfortunately service is even worse, though I acknowledge the masses here and at HEYTEA are especially crazy and the workers are under high pressure. On my most recent visit, a worker was cleaning up my drink as it spilled all over the sides. A male worker (manager?) pushed her towards the back, slammed my drinks up front, and walked away while the cup was still leaking. On the bright side, the wait time for Washington Molly Tea is nothing compared to other states. Tables and seats open fairly frequently as most people leave after getting their drinks. Could be any combination of more employees, less customers, or the hasty push for quantity of drinks. I think the latter does reduce quality and inevitably experiences like mine where parts of my drink are already gone before drinking and a messy time taking it to go. read more

My husband and I went here on a Saturday afternoon after having ramen next door. We did see that there's a lot of people waiting for their drinks and quite a few people still in line. We ordered through the kiosk and the process seemed easy enough. We got one of the Jasmine tea drinks and one of the matcha drinks. We didn't get our order until an hour later. I'm not sure if it's our taste preference but we didn't really find our drinks that good. If we're ever in the area and the line isn't long, we might give it another chance. read more

Went on a Monday night and guys literally no one there. So please do not be waiting in line for this tea. If I was waiting for a long time and still go the drink I got I would have been even more disappointed. We got three different teas, and I'll be honest I don't even know why I didn't like this places it just honestly makes me sick thinking about it. But literally I would go to any other boba place before I would come here. Omg and lol the ordering process. So confusing and the workers not the most helpful. You order really weird through the screen or your phone. I guess it probably helps them speed up the process but I didn't even know what was good to order so I just got there most popular. read more

OMG. Can you get a more amazing jasmine milk tea? Nope. Stick with classic before ordering anything else here. They have a self serve ordering kiosk.

Tea flavors are apparent and really enjoyed both the jasmine and matcha teas we ordered. Looking forward to coming back. read more

This was my second time trying Molly Tea due to the hype, and I think it's good, but maybe not as amazing as everyone says it is. Molly Tea specializes in jasmine tea, and I truly think their jasmine tea is very good. It's florally, it's smooth, it pairs nicely with milk. If you like jasmine tea, you'll definitely like Molly Tea. Otherwise, if you're just a casual enjoyer of jasmine like me, Molly Tea is still good, just not mind blowing. Molly Tea is also known for being very aesthetic and aesthetic it is. The store fits this image, but it also gets very crowded. It can be very busy and we waited over 30 minutes for one drink, but the staff do their best to keep up. Part of why it takes so long is because they need to put the whipped cream on in front of you as you pick up your drink. I do think Molly Tea is worth trying at least once, and who knows, maybe Molly Tea will be your new go to place for jasmine tea. read more

Can sometimes be a long wait, but totally worth it. The ambiance is cute, and all of their drinks are consistently good every single time. You can smell the tea the moment you walk in, which says a lot about the quality. I also love that their drinks are not overly sweet, which is perfect for me. Even when ordering low ice or no ice, the cup is still fully filled, which I really appreciate. Hands down my favorite milk tea spot in the greater Seattle area. read more

Enjoyed my first experience here and can't wait to return! The store is beautiful and the staff is so friendly and kind! Parking can be tough since the area gets busy but I usually get lucky with the free 2 hour parking or circle the block once until something opens up. It seems ordering mainly takes place on the two large tablet ordering screens in the lobby. For my first visit I decided to order one of the recommended must try drinks. I went with the White Champaca Matcha add crystal boba. The boba wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite. The drink itself was very light and perfect for someone who doesn't like too sweet. The matcha foam on top was perfectly smooth and flavor was tasty. The drink itself was yummy. I enjoyed it mainly because it was not too sweet and very light. I can't wait to try something else next time! Definitely recommend trying this place even if just once as it was a fun and beautiful experience. read more

I came back here with the same friend and our other mutual friend since he hasn't had here before. They both got the premium jasmine milk tea since my friend enjoyed that one a lot, and all of us even got to sample it before ordering up at the kiosks, which are now near a display of their cups and bags. For this visit, I got their premium jasmine matcha latte as a recommendation from one of my friends. Same great taste of jasmine tea just like the premium jasmine milk tea, but with the added matcha puree above which is slightly weak in taste but becomes stronger once you mix the whole drink together. There's still a ton of people waiting inside, and you now get a number which you can find on a screen above the counter so you know whether your drink is being prepared or is ready. Inside still has a heavy scent of jasmine tea, just as it should. read more

Molly Tea is always pretty busy and trying to find parking is almost non-existent unless you park far away and then walk over. Regardless, we still come by and order drinks whenever we're in the area because their tea is good. Even with how busy it gets inside, we still like coming here when we can. I'm honestly surprised I've never wrote a review for here and unfortunately, am coming here to make my first review here, filled with feedback. Normally back then, we would order our mobile/online order our drinks and then come pick it up at the counter. When picking it up, then they would put the cream and nuts on top to ensure freshness. This time around, it was not that. They handed us a bag for our two drinks and we left. We assumed oh, maybe they just did the whipped cream right before we got here since there was a pick up time/window. No big deal, if it melted then it's fine. When we got to our destination, all I see are two sealed cups, two small bowls, and two plastic containers. So basically, they broke the drink down and are now having us make the drink instead. Would be nice to have something to scoop the cream into the cup but then, we would have to sip some liquid out because putting all the provided cream in the cup, caused it to overflow. To make matters worse, the lids would not seal onto the cups no matter what. Of course, we came to this realization when we picked up the cup and the lid squeezed right off. So even more of a mess. It was honestly such a poor experience that this may be the last time we order from here. It's disappointing to have all that waste in material to "build" your own drink and then have it spilling everywhere due to quality and quantity control. Drinks: great To-Go Experience: horrible read more

Back again :) Service: 5/5 You order via touch machines and pick up your order from the counter. The ordering process is simple and straightforward, you order what you want, pay, collect your points, and wait. They'll call your order number and present your drinks (they'll add the whipped cream in front of you, which is something I really like!) Drinks: 5/5 Amazing drinks! I got the snowy Jasmine which is a Jasmine tea base topped with fresh whip cream and toasted pecans on top. Not too sweet and not too bitter. It's a perfect drink for any day! You don't even have to worry about getting cold hands because the cups they use are well made that you don't feel the cold vs a Starbucks cup. Ambiance: 5/5 It feels like a LV store lol. The interior is pretty and bright. They have bathrooms and plenty of picture areas for all your needs :) read more

Molly Tea in Bellevue is such a refreshing new addition to the area. The space itself is super cute with a clean, modern aesthetic that feels intentional and calming. It's definitely the kind of place you want to linger in (or snap a photo or two). You can tell a lot of thought went into the design, and it really elevates the whole tea-drinking experience. The teas are genuinely delicious and thoughtfully crafted, with so many options to choose from that it's hard to stick to just one favorite. Whether you're in the mood for something light and floral or richer and more comforting, there's something for every palate. You can taste the quality in each drink, and it feels elevated without being pretentious. Service is fast and efficient, which is impressive for a newer spot, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. A fun bonus is their adorable little pins and small merch. It is such a cute touch that adds personality to the shop and makes the experience feel special. Molly Tea is the kind of place you'll keep coming back to, whether for the aesthetic, the tea, or both read more

The drinks are definitely more on the floral-y side which is supposed to be better quality(?) or just more like real tea but I personally don't rlly love it. The tapioca also isn't the best but their drinks itself are pretty good. It's always really busy and the workers are always too busy for any real service but it's pretty efficient. It's loud and bustling I never really sit inside as it's pretty overstimulating. read more

Molly Tea - White Champaca Hazelnut Choco Lava - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Molly Tea is supposedly the "S-Tier" luxury bubble tea spot in Bellevue. They are known for their floral and jasmine milk tea drinks served in bright pink or gold hot cups (and often given in a pink paper bag if you order several drinks). When Molly Tea first opened, the lines were out the door and around the block, and so I waited until the crowds went down to get my first taste of Molly Tea last summer. The interior of Molly Tea resembles a fancy handbag or perfume store, except instead of handbags and perfumes, they display their different drink cups and home incenses on lit up shelves. They also feature their "speciality straw" which they claim "makes each sip deliver a unique combination of smoothness, floral notes and tea aroma, creating a delightful flavor experience". I'm not sure if the straw is really that special, but upon first sip, you're supposed to savor the teas aroma, the second sip, you taste the tea's flavor, and the third sip, you experience the tea's charm, at least according to the sign. I'm pretty sure their straws are just your regular plastic straw, so take their marketing with a grain of salt. Hopefully, their straws are at least biodegradable and eco-friendly. I was excited to try their Pistachio Jasmine Coconut or Premium Jasmine Matcha milk teas, but unfortunately they were out of like half their menu when I arrived (minus one star). So, instead, I settled for their PREMIUM JASMINE MILK TEA with OATMILK ($6.99) and got a GARDENIA OOLONG MILK TEA ($6.79) for my significant other. With tax and tip, the drinks were definitely on the pricey side coming up to about $10 for a 16-oz drink, but not unheard of in Bellevue and similar to Chi Cha San Chen sizes and prices. You order from a kiosk and on a weekday afternoon, the lines moved fairly quickly. I waited maybe 10 minutes or so to get my drink. I will say the automated system that calls out your drink number is slightly annoying, but it gets the job done. The PREMIUM JASMINE MILK TEA is their signature drink. It had strong floral tea tastes and was creamy and definitely on the not too sweet side. I lifted up my cup lid and was surprised to see a fresh slice of orange in my milk tea. It was quite delicious and sweet. The GARDENIA OOLONG MILK TEA had much stronger floral notes and smell than the Jasmine Milk Tea. It really tasted like I was eating a flower and was also on the not too sweet side. I can't say I've had anything quite like it at other boba shops. This one comes in a fancy gold cup, but no orange slice. Overall, I get the Molly Tea hype because of their unique menu, flavors, and concentrated tea. They also have interesting topping choices like pecan, cheese matcha, Jasmine whipped cream, and cheese matcha. However, between Chi Cha San Chen and Molly, I would choose Chi Cha as I'm more of a black milk tea fan and less of a floral and fruity boba tea fan (personal preference though). With that said, I would give Molly Tea another try if they have seasonal flavors in stock. Final Score: 4/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere read more

Such a cute spot with a really elevated tea experience. The drinks taste fresh, high quality, and not overly sweet like a lot of other boba places. The floral tea flavors are unique and actually taste like real tea instead of syrup. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and aesthetic, and the staff was friendly even though it was busy. I can definitely see why this place is so popular. The jasmine based drinks are amazing and worth trying at least once. Highly recommend if you're in Bellevue and want something different from the usual bubble tea spots! read more

Good ol trusty Molly Tea! Something I always like is when a bubble tea shop has a self-ordering kiosk, which is so less stressful compared to being put on the spot when you're at the counter (in my experience). I got the Premium Jasmine Matcha Milk Tea which I think is best enjoyed when drinking through the lid because you can enjoy both the matcha cheese foam and the jasmine milk tea separately if that's your jam. The matcha isn't overly bitter or "dusty" and the jasmine milk tea comes in smooth and florally. Eventually I find myself drinking it through a straw so I am not inhaling it. I can see why it is a must try! The interior is bright, clean, and giving minimalist interior. It's the kind of place where your drink looks good before you even take a sip. read more

Very belated but we finally got to try this spot that has been receiving a ton of hype... not sure if we understand it just yet. Drinks: (3/5) My friend recommended the pistachio jasmine coconut since it's her hyperfixation drink and I love anything pistachio. I can admit, it was definitely refreshing and I liked the unique flavor combo, but I found that it fell short because it was hard to taste anything at all. I then tried my partner's milk tea, which was interesting and probably not something we would get again. It wasn't bad, but just an earthy flavor that we weren't accustomed to. Service: (5/5) Hard to say since you order on a screen, but I really appreciated how fast the staff were turning out drinks. When we got up to leave, the front counter probably had 10 drinks ready for people to pick up with more constantly being made. read more

Molly Tea - Pistachio Jasmine Coconut and Tongmu Lapsang Salted Cheese Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Molly Tea is a very popular boba spot, and there's almost always a long line. I highly recommend ordering online ahead of time and just picking up--it'll save you a lot of waiting. It's conveniently located near Main Street Bellevue and close to one of my favorite ramen spots in the area, Hokkaido Santouka. It has bright white lights inside, you likely won't miss it! The employees are clearly working nonstop and always seem extremely busy--I honestly feel for them given the constant rush at this location. As for the drinks, the boba is good, especially if you're a fan of jasmine tea, which is what they're known for. That said, I'm not sure I'd call it the best boba around, and I personally prefer Chi Cha San Chen. Overall, it's solid, but the long wait may not be worth it unless you're really craving jasmine tea. read more

The teas are on another level! Despite their insane lines and hype, I love Molly Tea mostly because the drinks are so worth it. I recommend all floral tea drinks, rather than fruit-flavored ones or matcha. My go-to order is the Pistachio White Champaca or Pistachio Jasmine Tea with 50% sugar and less ice. The nutty, slightly salty pistachio cheese pairs well with the floral, smooth tea. The other milk teas are also high quality and fragrant! Their matcha is alright but expected, as they mainly focus on jasmine or other floral teas. Overall, their teas are very soothing and never make me feel bloated or bad! read more

We went here on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. We had the Jasmine Coconut Tea with Pistachio Foam and Jasmine Milk Tea Boba. It was pretty good. It's very light. You can smell and taste the fragrance of the flower. The pistachio foam adds a complex flavor at the end of every sip. The Milk Boba is refreshing. The space is large, but sparse seating., maybe for 16 people, on a wall banquette. The room is bright and airy, lots of bright modern lighting. The walls are done in very blond wood. To order the drinks, you have to order off a wall tablet. Unfortunately there are only 2. They could have used 2 more. Very modern Asian vibe. A cup costs about $10 each. read more

We visited a new boba place, Molly Tea. We tried Pistachio Jasmine Coconut with brown sugar boba and Premium Jasmine Milk Tea with brown sugar boba. The drinks were very fragrant, definitely can taste the Jasmine. Good flip and not sweet at all. You order from a tablet, 2 tablets on the wall.

Molly Tea is really popular right now. The lines are out the door and the wait is like 30 minutes. For a milk tea. I read that they have an online ordering system now, which is great if you live or work nearby. I ordered a peach milk tea. It was almost $10 and honestly good, but not 30 minute wait good. Also parking is horrendous and there are just so many people standing around waiting for drinks that it's really awkward to come here. What's worse is when you pick up your drink. The worker named Steph was pretty rude. I mean it looked chaotic, so maybe the managers should figure out a way to make the situation better for their workers, but Steph was not happy working here. Definitely killed the vibe. I'd maybe wait until the hype dies down to come back here. It looks cute and the drinks are good, I just can't deal with rude staff and an awkward experience. read more

I came in with high expectations thanks to all the hype, but my visit landed somewhere in the middle. Tried the milk tea and the mango smoothie. Milk tea: Decent -- balanced and drinkable, though not especially memorable. Mango smoothie: Disappointing -- fell flat for me in flavor and texture. Molly Tea clearly has a reputation and loyal fans, but this visit didn't match the buzz. Worth trying if you're curious, but temper expectations -- the milk tea is safe, the fruity options may be hit-or-miss. read more

Soooo good. I knew of this place as a famous boba shop from NY and was so excited to learn that it came to the west side. I had pretty high expectations going in. Parking in the area is street parking. We waited 45 min-1 hour for 2 drinks because this place was PACKED. The whole store was filled, and the line was always out the door. The organization to keep orders straight and moving must be an intense learning curve. The space is much too small for the number of customers they were attracting, but there were a few seats (around 10-15) inside. Each drink came out to be about $9, which is definitely one of the priciest bobas I've ever had. I got the standard Jasmine milk tea with whipped cream on top with normal sweetness (as recommended), and it was incredible! There is that subtle floral taste that lingers and 100% sweetness is really not that sweet. You can see them add the fresh whipped cream at the counter. I normally would not return and pay $9 for a 45-minute wait drink, but this an exception. Definitely would at least try it out (for the experience)! read more

Great milk tea place, always order online first to avoid the wait.
