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.

cute shop and I liked that they had order kiosks so it was easy and fast. The drinks were good, but I still don't fully understand the hype The cream cheese foam was honestly the best part. Tea itself was decent, not bad.

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.

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.

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.

Loveddd the peach oolong tea with boba so much! The oolong tea flavor was so authentic & rich (deep almost?) and the pearls were perfectly soft and chewy. Came at 11:30 AM on a sunny Sunday and only waited 5-10 min!

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Matcha Jasmine Salted Cheese

Molly tea has to be one of my favorite tea shops. They always make quality tea! Today I got their matcha jasmine salted cheese. Nothing much to say except that it was great :) The inside is kind of small but super clean and nice

Lauren T.

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!

Cat L.

I heard great rating, great tasting, great exp, nice decor blah blah blah from friends and it was just ....alright. Maybe it's the too busy small shop that takes away the enjoyment of sitting sipping a drink. The quality of packaging nowadays the drink was above average but do I want to try again with so many options out there ....maybe I'll try somewhere else until the hype die down a bit ....

After placing my order, the app said there were 50 drinks ahead of mine in the queue, and about a 20 min wait. Staff were accommodating of my reusable cup and were, after some initial hesitation, able to serve my drink in my glass tumbler instead of the plastic cup. Thanks for supporting sustainability even while it was super busy today! The Triple Supreme Matcha Latte was really good, consisting of a strong matcha latte with matcha mochi and matcha jelly. The mochi is very soft and the jelly adds a nice texture to the drink.

Located in a small business strip, parking can be dicey with how small the lot is with the busy shops around, but it's nearby other businesses and walking distance to the Factoria shopping center. I'd come back.

We came to Macu Tea around 1:00P on a Saturday and I was surprised that we were the only customers…read moreat the time. The shop is tidy and had custom Seattle / Bellevue art on the wall, which was a nice local touch. There is a very small section of seating inside, but no tables, so most customers merely just pick up their tea and go. Macu specializes in dessert drinks which sound tempting and indulgent, but all of them are "fixed", so you need to order them as-is with no customizations to the sweetness and ice levels. Since I had just finished lunch, I wanted a lighter drink and noticed their Golden Leaf Tea is a "Macu Exclusive", so I knew I had to try it. It's described as a unique variety of Oolong. You can get the Golden Leaf Tea in just its plain brewed form, in a milk tea, or as part of their Chi-Chi series, which comes topped with cheese foam. + CHI-CHI GOLDEN LEAF TEA w/ 10% sweetness & light ice ($6.00): I feel perplexed by this drink. Despite not having much of a tea flavor, I endured a little caffeine buzz a couple hours later. I am not sure if the tea itself is supposed to be more mild in flavor, but I just couldn't sense its strength. However, the drink was crisp and refreshing, with the 10% sweetness level being perfect for my taste. The cheese foam was pretty light, smooth and not too salty. As I sipped it, the foam melded gradually with the tea and took over the flavor, making it slightly creamy too. One of my companions got the RUBY GRAPEFRUIT LI-LI TEA ($6.75 + $0.75 boba) and couldn't taste the tea either. It was very grapefruit-forward, including lots of pulp from the fruit. She said the boba was nicely cooked and lightly sweetened. We ordered at the kiosk and the staff called our number in just a few minutes. It didn't take long since they just had a couple mobile orders other than ours. I am willing to give Macu another chance, but was just let down since my tea seemed quite diluted compared to other Oolong teas I've ordered elsewhere. 3.25 stars.

Got two tiramisu lattes here -- one chocolate and one matcha -- and both were good. But, I was…read moresurprised there was no boba, especially because the kiosk photos clearly showed boba in the tiramisu lattes. I am almost certain that we ordered it, too. It did not come automatically, and it also was not listed as an add-on option at the kiosk. So, if you want boba, order at the front counter instead with a representative. I wish that they clarified that upfront because the visuals were misleading. The staff was not interactive. They were focused on making drinks and keeping the space clean -- which is the bare minimum -- but it did not feel welcoming at all. There was also no clarity on when orders were ready. They would just place the drinks at the front and move on without calling out numbers, or confirming which order was what. It would help a lot if they announced the order number and drink name so that customers know when to step up. There is not much seating here either. It is a pretty tight shop, but thankfully there are other good restaurants and stores nearby, if you want to hang out elsewhere. Parking is a bit tough, so get comfortable with parallel parking on the strest The lighting inside is very bright -- almost too bright -- but honestly, it matches the energy of the tiramisu latte that kept me wide awake. One extra star for the free, collapsible red cup holders that I never seen any other boba shop do, though!

There are 3 cafes I go to on the regular for my hojicha fix: Magic Matcha, Tendon Kohaku, and Bobae in Kirkland. While I enjoy all three, Magic Matcha is my favorite. The roasted tea flavor is strong, they allow me to adjust the sweetness level, and the flavor of the drink is always consistent. I've had issues with Tendon and Bobae either changing up the brand or the roast or adding too much milk on any given day. One of my gfs loves their horchata hojicha so there's that. I tasted it and it was objectively good. I wouldn't get it only because I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but if I were, it would be another go-to drink.

Realistically, my review is a high 3 stars, like a 3.7-3.9, and is mostly weighed down by the fact…read morethat the matcha latte was meh. Not awful, not I'll-never-drink-again-bad, but meh. I've been here twice, once a few years ago with my cousins, and another three days ago. The people working were attentive and quick with their service. The ambiance of the place is cute, a lot of pink and green, very instagram-worthy, and I saw a few people with friends or working on their laptop so it seems like a great place vibe-wise. To expand on my matcha critique, I found the color to be a little on the green-yellow side, which isn't the end all- be all quality indicator for matcha, but I find matcha lattes that are more rich in color tend to taste better and this tasted like a matcha drink I could make with costco matcha. I've made some decent lattes with costco matcha but once I switched to the more higher quality ones, well, it sorta refined my tastes. There isn't a lot of parking, and to be fair, a lot of people who are in downtown Bellevue are parked elsewhere else and likely just meander their way to the cafe. However, if you're coming in by car, I'd suggest parking by the apartments nearby, DO NOT park at the Chase Bank lot, even if the bank itself is closed (learned my lesson...). Overall, a 3.7-3.9. Could be better. Maybe with other additives like cold foam or strawberries, the drink is better, but I'm judging based off the basic latte.
