Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #73 You'd think it would be a prime spot for more competition, but Oasis Tea Zone is the only boba shop in downtown Edmonds. I was initially hesitant on visiting since based on their menu, they seem like a first wave type of boba shop that mainly uses powders and syrups. After seeing that they have $3 drinks during Happy Hour from 2-4 PM on weekdays, however, I decided to give them a chance. Royal Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice ($3) - The milk tea has decent black tea flavor, albeit a bit generic, the sweetness at half is right on the dot for a typical half sweetened drink, and half ice isn't too much. The drink is on the powdery side, which leaves a kind of residue that coats the mouth after each sip. I'm wondering if they use perhaps powdered tea in their drinks? Still, there aren't any offensive tastes in the drink, which made it better than expected. The boba is surprisingly good. The pearls are smooth spheres and exhibit both very good chew and bounce, but don't seem to be soaked that much in syrup. They are perhaps a bit firmer than perfect, but are pleasant to chew on. The amount of boba they serve in a cup isn't enough for the entire drink - with about a quarter of the drink left, the boba was all gone. While the drink has some issues, the value for $3 really can't be beat. I think this is the cheapest boba I've gotten in the US ever. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 I walked into Oasis Tea Zone with apprehension, but came out very pleasantly surprised. I would stop by again, happy hour or otherwise, whenever I visit downtown Edmonds. Note: Oasis Tea Zone charges a 3% fee for credit cards Edit: I visited again, ordering the same drink. This time, the drink seems to be more heavily leaning towards the creamer, leaving the taste of the tea in the dust. In addition, there's a bit of a strange coffee-ish taste and the boba is much more firm than previous. This is more of a 3* drink rather than 4*. Still leaving the review as a 4, but it seems there might be consistency issues. Then again, the drink is only $3 before tax/tip, a value that can't be beaten. read more

It's closed! The store is partially packed up, which isn't surprising as the operations were lacking. My daughter is bummed - only Boba place downtown. read more

We were literally the only customers on a Tuesday afternoon. The server ignored us for a few minutes while she busied herself with whatever she was doing. When she finally came to take our order, she lacked enthusiasm and energy. We got a standard brown sugar bubble tea and it was mediocre. Not bad but not great. The store does offer AC and a wide assortment of board games to keep you entertained. read more

I've been to several other Oasis locations, and was a regular at a different location for many years. I love this business and think the owner is lovely. Usually Oasis is my favourite place to grab a Bubble Tea. However, my first (and only) experience at this Edmonds location was definitely lacking. My drink tasted weak, but was extremely chunky. Yuck. I've never experienced this before, but something was definitely off. On a positive note, Oasis was bustling with people who looked to be having a nice time. The games in the shop are a nice touch. read more

We like Oasis and we're happy to have one so close in Edmonds. Their online ordering system (run by Toast) is convenient, reliable, and fast. Only street parking is available but currently, it is pretty easy to find parking in Edmonds downtown (it's getting busier every year so we will see if this situation changes in a few years). Staff are friendly and during my first visit, when I was confused about different percentage of sugar, they offered to let me try various strengths before I could make my choice. They have always been friendly and courteous. Inside, they have a number of board games and puzzles to play with your companions while enjoying their drink offerings. In Edmonds, this is a wonderful stop for our family when we like to stroll through our cute downtown. I also want to add that this is one of the few places that actually carry popping boba, which we love. read more

I walked into the empty store and the employee did not acknowledge me. I ordered a strawberry milk tea, which came out to $8 before tip, and it tastes like sour milk. Super bummed out. read more

Came here because we were craving milk tea and this was the only one in the area in downtown Edmonds. I didn't have high expectations at all since I haven't been to an oasis in forever and didn't remember liking it much before. I ordered the oolong milk tea and it literally had like no tea flavor. It was also extremely light colored and basically tasted like watery milk tea but with almost no tea flavor. I would have rated one star, but the guy working was really nice. I would suggest re-training all your employees to learn how to make your drinks correctly. read more

Avoid this place! My friend and I both got very ill from having bubble teas there. Very bad stomach + bowel upset lasting 12 hours. We were forced to stay home the next day. The price was higher than most places, for a small drink that would certainly not suffice in the summer. Tea is very cheap to make, so there is no reason to cheap out! Flavor-wise, this was a mediocre experience. The tea was stale and murky, and I cannot tell you why we drank it against our better judgement. Maybe because of how much it had cost us? Finally, there was no care about allergies. Yes, they have oatmilk as a dairy-alternative, but that's where the help stops, regrettably. Some of the bubble tea flavors come built-in with a creamer. They don't tell you which ones do. Creamers often contain soy or dairy derivatives (e.g. sodium caseinate) and I am allergic to soy and dairy. I asked the employee to look up the ingredient list of a flavor, to see if it lists allergens I can't have, and she just refused. The employee agreed to remake the drink with a different flavor - one that did not come with a creamer. That was all the help she could give. My friend and I both got very sick from our drinks. Only one of us has allergies. So, I'm going to say that it's something about the drink that had gone bad. read more

A fun friday stop while walking about Edmonds, of course, walking by, they had me at boba! Lol A busy Friday afternoon, I think the school district was on spring break... or a bunch of kids were playing hooky? Anyway, a great selection of different tea flavors and additions. Local art adorned the walls, which was a theme throughout Edmonds. Although they were busy, orders came out quickly. I ordered the ginger jasmine tea with boba, tasty, with a good ginger bite. Very refreshing on a sunny afternoon stroll. Cheers! read more

This Oasis is in a rustic-styled building. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. No music was playing inside. The menu offers plenty of options for teas and toppings. They have different categories for teas too. I ordered a strawberry milk tea with tapioca and a ginger milk tea with tapioca and received them in ~5 minutes. There weren't any orders ahead of me. The tea isn't too sweet and the tapioca pearls are soft and chewy. It didn't taste like the boba was sweetened (I prefer this but my wife doesn't). 4.5 outta 5 read more

This is my first Oasis shop and I like the variety they have. It's located in a beautiful part of downtown Edmonds and it's a very nice place to sit outside. The inside seating is also not half bad, with some board games and a pacman table. To my knowledge, there's no option to adjust ice and sugar level, or I wasn't asked. I do feel that it's a very typical kind of boba shop and I'm not 100% sure if real fruit is being used because all I really taste is sugar. I'm not sure if I would come back, but if you want boba, it is here. read more

Cute little spot to grab bubble tea in downtown edmonds. Oasis is always consistent; take it from someone who worked at their Chinatown location ten years ago. The owner was very adamant on training workers to measure the ingredients accurately. I'm glad to see this is still the case! ESP as they expand in so many different cities. The staff at this location were so sweet! Can't wait to stop by again :) read more

This is a nice location in Edmonds. It's in the heart of downtown and can attract all the foot traffic from people visiting the area for shopping and a lot of the events that take place there. I really like Oasis tea because they give you an option for milk tea, snow, or smoothies. I love the options for flavors and toppings. Also I love their tapioca. It is chewy, but it is softer than others. The space is a little small and because this is a busy area for Edmonds, it can get filled up with people and a line fast. read more

We love Oasis, Cap Hill, UW and the ID are all great locations, this new location is a great addition to downtown edmonds. At this location they serve bubble tea and plain powdered sugar puff waffles, at some other locations they have more options, but this one does sell some packaged snacks and trinkets as well. They're also looking for local artists and may have some new art up in the near future. My sister for example has some of her art up already! Lol This visit was for my bday - if you sign up online, you'll get a whole free bubble tea on your special day! Worth a visit I'd say! read more

I'm so sad to be writing this place a negative review! I've heard nothing but good things and wanted to like it so much. I placed an online order and went to pick it up within 10 minutes of ordering, so it could be that I took too long (and the ice melted) but the Chai Milk tea was super watery, not very flavorful and oddly bitter. I even ordered light ice as to not water it down too much. I am not a fan of super sweet teas but this was even too bitter for me. I ended up adding my own sugar at home. Overall the staff was super friendly and helpful, the location is great but the milk tea just wasn't good. read more

I started getting tea from Oasis in the International District when they first opened there. One of the best milk tea I had in Seattle at the time, and I didn't mind the queue. However, the last time I got milk tea from there it was so bland that I could not taste tea. It was right before COVID, and I stopped visiting. Fast-forwarding to 2023, I happened to be in Edmonds with family and wanted to give it another try. Well, this time it was the opposite. The location is cool and nice but the tea was so strong and bitter. And it happened to two kinds of milk tea that we got so I don't think it's a fluke. It's way beyond the level of brewed tea that has been sitting around for half a day. It was simply made wrong. With a brand with so many locations, the lack of quality control is disappointing. As a comparison, there is much more quality consistency I have experienced with Shared Tea and Happy Lemon which shows it can be done. read more

best Taro milk tea i've ever had!!! plus they are non dairy friendly you can also pick your sweetness level which is nice read more

Finally Edmonds has a bubble tea spot to next to the gelato spot, two choices for summer cool downs! I have been here twice- both time getting a slush. They have so much variety on what to order! I suggest sitting outside in the plaza courtyard, and in the summer there are concerts on Tuesday and Thursday night. Inside has games to play too. We played connect 4 while waiting for the tea. It's been a bit of a wait both times whether or not there are many people there. read more

I enjoyed my two drinks-blueberry smoothie and matcha blast. My issue was with the barista pulling his hair away from his face while making the beverages. I suggest hair nets. read more

This place is great and boba tea is good, the only problem is they are soooo slow. If you order a tea, it will take 20 minutes. If you order ahead online and show up 20 minutes later, it will still take 20 minutes. I would go more if it didn't take so long. read more

Oasis Tea in Edmonds has cozy vibe with an excellent menu and top notch staff. Love that they have board games available as it makes it feel fine to linger. When I go out, I still look for outdoor seating and they have plenty of options there too. This spot is a nice addition to the Edmonds scene! read more
