I came here with a friend for some good boba and a good chat. The location shares parking with both QFC and Bartell Drugs nearby, so it's very easy to get to by car. There were a ton of peoole ordering and sitting inside at around 1pm in the afternoon, so my order did take quite a while to come out. Inside is pretty spacious with plenty of seating that can fill up fast. There was music in the background but it's not too loud, so it's a nice place to socialize in without yelling over any noise. I forgot to take a picture of my order, which was a taro milk tea with boba and 50% sweetness. Flavors were decent. It wasn't anything too special but it was satisfying. The location also sells egg waffles, and a number of people ordered that and their takoyakis which are available only at this location. I may give those a try when I come back here for a second boba run. Overall great place to hang out and chill in! read more

They forgot to put the crystal boba in our drink :/ Paid for this topping, and the drink came out with nothing in it. I do appreciate that they made this drink in the last 10 mins before closing time (thank you!), but forgetting a topping entirely is a bit disappointing. The brown sugar boba in the other drink was also overly chewy and a bit stale, unfortunately. read more

My friend and I both got the classic milk tea with boba. I adjusted mine to 50% ice, 50% sweetness, and dairy free creamer. I like that you can adjust both sugar and ice levels. The service was friendly, even trying to give us the best combo deal to order with a waffle. The interior has limited seating but it was cutely decorated for valentine's day. In terms of bubble tea, I had better. It was not bad, but not the best either. read more

The sugar content is inconsistent depending on the employee but the two for $10 is a great deal. They have a sign on the window and in front of the cash register that said they'll do a $2.99 waffle with "any drink" purchase. When I tried to get one, she said that I'd have to pay full price because my drinks were two for $10. So not as advertised. You also give zero points for buying this 2 for $10 deal so you can't use Clover. read more

Walking into the shop, it had a very cutesy vibe to it. I love the toys and machines too. I bought 2 keychains. I got oolong milk tea and I hate to say that the tea was oversteeped. However, the boba pearls themselves were very well made. They also do not offer Thai tea. That's why I gave the shop 2 stars. I will not be returning. read more

One of the best boba spots i've had in Renton! I was over at one of my friends house and we walked over to the center that had this boba shop, QFC, and many other places. I've never had Over The Rainbow so I was excited to try their drinks. I got their Mango Green Tea which was filled with delicious flavor and the tapioca was so soft. The service was quick; the register person was super sweet and asked if we needed any questions to ask! The place itself was cute, spacious and had many seats for comfort. Parking is easy since it's in a little center, it is free and I would definitely stop by here again if I am in the Renton area! read more

FOOD: 5/5 STAR- We loved their drinks, my husband got the red bean slushy and it tasted like the Korean red bean ice cream. The milk tea with winter-melon was super delicious as well. Overall, we were super impressed. SERVICE: 5/5 STAR: Good Customer Service overall very good! AMBIANCE: 4/5 STAR: Just an average cafe, but some cute decors here and there. I recommend coming to try the drinks! read more

Been here twice in the past two months. The first time I ordered a wintermelon black milk tea w/boba and it just tasted like really watered down milk. I did not taste the wintermelon tea flavor at all. I came here again recently and ordered a brown sugar black milk tea w/boba thinking this is the most basic drink on the menu, can't possibly mess it up. I was wrong. It still tasted like watered down milk. Barely any "tea" flavor. Giving it two stars because the service was not bad and the boba was sweet & chewy. There's other boba shops nearby that I'd go to instead. read more

I am an inexperienced boba drink orderer. So I am that annoying customer asking loads of questions at the counter. I love boba, but never know what to order. The young man at the counter here was super patient about all my questions. I ended up with a mango flavored green tea with Lychee jelly. Super delicous and was gone by the time I made it home. This cute tea shop also offers tons of other choices including sweet cream, boba, black tea, hot and cold beverages and those yummy looking waffles. I appreciate the patience and answers while I decided what to drink/eat. The parking lot for this place is in a shopping center with a very busy QFC so be careful. I was visiting a nearby nail salon and that is why I ended up here. The prices are typical for boba, I think, but if and when I come back for my pedicure here I will visit this tea shop again. Sooooo many choices. Cheers and happy Yelping. read more

I zoned in and got the Honeydew smoothie (it was limited edition, also Buy 1 Get 1 Half off!) - Super impressed by how the smoothie tasted without any added sugar (thank you milk sugars!), and would order again on a super hot day (I was coming from a hike near Issaquah and this was a spot to hit on the way back home!) I've only got my order to-go, but I had a good impression of the interior and decor of the location! Renton people, if you need a spot to chill at, or just want to get a good boba smoothie, this is a fun spot to hit. read more

Solid bubble tea close to the QFC grocery store. Extremely dangerous because if you're hoping to just buy groceries, guess again because you can't help but go into this establishment. I had a black milk tea with Crystal boba. Not too sweet either which is good for me. My only recommendation is to not drink one of these right before a blood test and then get your blood test results and freak out but then remember after the fact haha. read more

Been here a few times, mostly out of convenience when I have a bubble tea craving. My go-to is usually the grapefruit green tea at most bubble tea places but this one falls a bit short. The grapefruit tasted a bit too syrupy. Milk tea here is a bit hit and miss, sometimes it's pretty good and other times feels like the tea flavor isn't strong enough. Consistency issues can be improved. They do offer bubble waffle which is nice, and they do a good job with it. Nice crust outside and chewy inside. I won't go out of my way to go here, but when you want a bubble tea fix and around the Renton Highlands this is your only choice. read more

Not very good. I tried their milk tea and my friend got the mango smoothie but both were very watery and had undercooked boba. The mango smoothie didn't even have fresh mango and I suspect it has mango powder flavoring. I wasn't impressed at all by the quality of the milk tea and could have made a better drink at home. I was pretty disappointed by my visit but in the bright side the workers are very nice and the drinks are pretty big. To be honest...I probably won't visit again. read more

I agree with all the other reviews on here regarding the change in cup size. My husband & I are frequent customers here, we get bubble tea maybe once a week. But, was very surprised on our last visit to find that they changed the cup size to almost half the regular size, and barely any adjustments to the price?! Not worth it anymore, in our opinion.. Sadly, they will be losing us as loyal customers.. and we will be driving to Share Tea from now on to get our bubble tea fix. Very bad decision on the owner's part!! read more

They have board games that you can borrow and play. There is a huge parking lot so you will not have trouble finding parking. Since I didn't know what to order I just got what was on their list of top six drinks. I ordered the milk tea with boba and egg pudding and the total was $5.78 with tax. Is it slightly above average price for boba? Maybe, but I technically got two toppings so that might be why as well. The boba tasted really good. It was soft and chewy and there was actual flavor in the boba. I could probably do without the egg pudding and if I came back I probably wouldn't get it because I thought the boba itself was already great. I will say that I wish they had a couple more tables. I don't know how busy they get during the day but at 8pm on a Thursday night all the tables were occupied. This is one of the better milk teas I've had in the general Seattle area so I'll keep it in mind if I'm ever in the Renton area again. read more

The food is amazing and the service was great. Love that you can customize the ice and sugar levels for the teas.

Service was great. The overall product...not so much. Note to Owners: a 55oz drink that has a price adjustment of 20 cents off is shocking. We understand as a small/neighborhood business...your prices have to remain a little higher. But as a consumer...this is highway robbery. Drive the extra couple of mules to Share Tea or Boba Lust. J would avoid this business until they are able to bring back their normal menu. 1 star for good service/workers behind the counter. read more

It's been a few years since I've been here and my rating has not changed since 2018 much. We had drinks and bubble waffle. The bubble waffle reminds me of something I can make at home. It doesn't have that crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside of each bubble. It's missing that zing! I'd say the waffle is about a 3. The folks are nice and it's convenient when you call in an order. read more

Our go-to boba and bubble waffle spot. To be fair, it's kind of the only one in the area... but still - it's great! We probably stop by once or twice a month. They do have coffee jelly, which is my topping of choice! Idk why some boba shops don't.. it's the best. We usually get the standard milk tea, but I'll do a sweeter smoothie if I'm feeling a little spicy. Maybe a taro smoothie or something. Bubble waffles are always good too, but they add at least 5 minutes to your wait time, maybe longer if there are orders ahead of you. They're made-to-order so it's just how it goes. Be patient for your freshly made bubble waffle! ALSO they got their own branded cups with the sealed tops now - no more generic cups with snap on lips. Now you can actually shake your drink before spiking the top! read more

As more boba shops pop up in the surrounding area, I find that Over the Rainbow sinks lower and lower on my list. All of my most recent visits left me disappointed for the following reasons: 1) They're always out of something... Red bean, aloe, or even boba :( 2) The boba isn't great. It's either gone downhill or it simply can't compete with some of the newer places that taste better. I usually get a different topping like aloe, egg pudding, or their new sea salt cream, but I always try my bf's boba to see if I'm missing out. It's always flavorless and super soggy on the outside. 3) If I stray from my usual drink, I find that it tastes very watered down. The only reason why I come here is for the rose milk tea with aloe. That combo hardly disappoints, but I will definitely frequent other places to get my tea/boba fix. read more

Love that there is a bubble tea place so close to my house! I hate the fact that whenever I'm craving some Boba, a smoothie or a refreshing tea I have to go to the Landing for ShareTea or Chinatown. OTR Tea Bar is located in the same complex as QFC so it's super convenient if you're shopping next door. The tea bar is super cute inside, looks like a little cafe. I also LOVE the greenery and little plant decor they have around the tables. They have lots of choices and drink recommendations if you don't know what you want. I've tried several "Top Drinks" and loved them all. They have 2 drink sizes, one that's pretty big (maybe more for looks, I think it's cute) but will not fit a drink holder in your car. They have a "normal" size, which has the same amount of liquid as the fatter cup but will fit a drink carrier. They also have some hot food items and desserts. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves yummy drinks! read more

Over the Rainbow Tea Bar is a great spot up in the Renton Highlands. The classic milk tea is delicious however the boba was not a fresh batch (soft and chewy) so I would have to give it a 3 star instead of a 4. The tea bar has a good variety of drinks and also has games that you can play with while you're hanging out with your friends. Overall - i would recommend Over the Rainbow. Milk tea was tasty and refreshing! read more

Bubble waffles? Yes please! The downside of living in the NW is some of my favorite treats are hard to come by. I am thrilled this shop is near me so I can savor bubble "egg" waffles! The price for this treat is some waiting time for it to be cooked to order. Others also enjoy this spot just like me, so the wait can be a bit depending on the number of guests. The shop is small and cozy. A few places scattered throughout to sit and take photos (instagram wings painted on the wall). Not in the mood for bubble waffles, how about bubble (boba) tea. Love options for boba, level of sweetness and variety of ways you can order from hot, cold, milk tea, smoothie-like... read more

very dishonest store employee unfortunately and bad service. Was there yesterday bought a red bean smoothie with boba + egg pudding (almost $10!!! ridiculous price, you could buy a dinner already with that price) & also got a milk tea + toppings. Total was $16.21. Gave the guy (wearing glasses, chubby) $20.35 and he only gave back $3 + change. I asked him why he didn't give me $4 bills and he said he already closed the register so too late! omg..ridiculous! do not go there..thieves! read more

I had ordered a hot almond milk tea tonight and sent my husband to go pick it up for me. The moment he brought it home, he told me the lid was loose and some of the liquid had spilled inside the bag already. So I went to transfer the drink to another cup since it was leaking at the lid. And thank goodness I hadn't touched it yet because right inside mixed in with the boba was a long ass hair!! So disgusting! I threw the drink right away and got a full refund back from DoorDash! Never again!! read more

If Over The Rainbow Tea Bar is closer to home, you'll definitely find me here at least once a week! Milk teas were flavorful and their bubble waffle were seriously the best I've had so far around here. Only wish they allow you to customize what goes with the bubble waffles. They give you four options when ordering bubble waffles: classic (plain), chocolate, rainbow, or Oreo. I got both classic and Oreo flavor. They were flavorful, fluffy, and moist. Bubble waffles are offered after 2pm until they are sold out. Classics are $4.99 and flavored ones are $7.99. read more

I ordered one of their top 5 menu, milk tea with boba & egg pudding. First, I loved the drink. It is not too sweet or not too milky. Flavor is really good, I think they bought the tea flavor really well. The reason why I gave them 4 stars is that their is not much of space for sitting. Because of that, inside of cafe seems pretty empty. They also sell the bubble waffle and takoyaki. It smells really good when you are sitting in the cafe without odering them! I would come back for bubble waffle and try other drinks too. read more

Solid boba place near my neighborhood! Service was great, fast, and friendly! There are only a few tables inside so we drank our bobas outside. I got the Jasmine Green milk tea and I enjoyed it!

What's not to love about boba right? Well, I'll say that OTR Tea Bar is far superior in terms of flavor, compared to 90% of the boba bars out there. Often times you can't make out the tea flavor or the quality of tea used is subpar, but at OTR you get a distinct and robust tea flavor with every sip and it's just magnificent. They have a good ratio between the tea, sugar and flavoring. While I cannot verify what additives they use - powder or syrup, but I haven't encountered a chalky drink yet. Other things to note: there's nothing to rave about in regard to inside the establishment, as it's quaint. The menu itself isn't over the top but they have a good selection to please everyone. They don't serve food, however they do have that doughy waffle thing and takoyaki. This is my go to place for boba! read more

Came one hour before close and they are no longer making egglette waffles or serving ice cream- drinks only. Ok got drinks, the chairs are all up on the table so we couldn't sit down. Then the drinks itself .. got watermelon lemonade and it tasted like a bad hit of kool aid gone wrong. If you are going to use artificial flavoring to keep the cost down then at least put some thoughts into it. It tasted so bad after a sip it went to the trash can not far from the store front- talk about leaving with a bad taste in my mouth. One star for courteous young employee. read more

I stopped by on my walk today and got a drink. Unbelievably they are now only serving the small cup and the price is almost exactly the same as the regular size. What a ripoff! They cut the size almost in half and adjusted the price by 20cents. How does that math work? Also, the drinks here are not consistent- sometimes good sometimes very watered down. I usually only go here when I'm lazy to drive to Sharetea. I guess I won't be coming back here again. read more

A solid 3 Stars. Told them it was a first time visit so they gave a small regular milk tea sample. It was good, slightly sweet at 100% sweet. Their menu is great to me, gonna have to come back numerous times to hopefully up the stars. - Milk Tea with Boba, 1/2 sugar, no ice. I ordered the no ice because I saw someone else do it and I asked them if the milk tea was still cold with no ice. The dude said it's "pretty chill," so I ordered it. Unfortunately it wasn't cold, although I like cold as COLD so to other people it may have been cold enough. Even without the COLD that I like, the milk tea was good. Solid. The boba was of good chewy consistency. Speaking of "cold" keep saying it to yourself and it just seems like such an odd word doesn't it? How does this word get invented to describe a low temperature? Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, what a strange word. - Menu wasn't as confusing as others have noted, maybe they changed it after the observations (see my picture). And of course, the fatty, roundy cups are of unique style (though I've had it in Cali first) and add to the experience. These fatty cups won't fit in your car cupholders FYI. So if you're to go, they have regular cups, same amount. In summary, great lil place, will visit again. cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold. read more

From the reviews, this seemed like one of the better boba spots in WA, but my drink was pretty disappointing and ended up tasting like sweetened, watery milk. I ordered the oolong milk tea at 75% sweetness, and right when I took my first sip, I could already taste how watered down my drink was. At first, I thought my tea was off since I adjusted it to 75% sweetness, but as I kept drinking, the sweetness was present. The tea flavor was lacking a lot, and it just really tasted like sugar water. There weren't any orders ahead of us, but our drinks took a while to prepare. The only thing that I liked about this place was the angel wings mural on the wall, but the aesthetics don't make up for the lackluster drinks. read more

It is a spot where friends and family can spend time together for a little while. The drinks were tasty, but sweet. You can choose your level of sweetness and they didn't fill my entire cup up with ice. We ordered a Peach Green Tea with Lychee and Rose Milk Tea with Boba. So generous with the toppings as well! Which is a major plus. Parking is so easy, cafe is clean and they have a virtual punchcard option! read more
