Tea quality is always top notch and even when there's a massive line, they manager to churn out their drinks within 15 - 20 minutes. My quick tip is if you see a large line in the mall, just order online and swing by 10 - 15 minutes. If you're not sure what to order, grab an oolong or black tea with cream. If you're looking for something without caffeine, the Organic Milk w/ Taro Ball and Paste is absolutely delicious with earthy taro flavor and the toppings were still warm with the cold milk. Seasonal Pineapple Snowy is also literally a Taiwanese pineapple cake in drink form. How did they get crunchies into the drink? Honestly, you can't really go wrong here and when I am craving boba, this is just ol' reliable.

There's also no seating inside the shop, but they do have some outdoor seating available. I ordered the Thai green tea with less sweet, added ube + Thai tea soft serve, and a waffle on top. The Thai green tea itself was actually really good -- super floral, creamy, and milky. The sweetness reminded me of sweetened condensed milk, which worked really well with the tea flavor. The part I didn't really enjoy was the ube soft serve. Something about the flavor tasted a little off to me, and once it melted into the drink, everything became much sweeter than I wanted. The waffle was also VERY sweet with a strong coconut flavor. Overall, I did enjoy the actual Thai green tea drink a lot, so I'd probably come back for that alone. Next time I'd skip the soft serve and waffle and just keep it simple.

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.

The service is very friendly and opening while being quick enough that you don't feel like your waiting for over 10 minutes for one drink (be mindful tho, it does get very busy from time to time). The store has a few claw machine that make it feel like you have to stand in a corner while you wait for your order and it's a fun activity for keeping any children calm while they wait for there own food or drinks, and speaking of the food, there chicken is very nicely cooked keeping moist while also crunchier then any other chicken I've had before. there selections for drinks is almost 100% customizable so you can really make the perfect boba drink for yourself and those around you. I would highly recommend checking out this store if your ever in the area, you will not regret it.

Kale Boost Tea: This was very refreshing, though would have done well with more chia seeds. The bottle design for this drink is cute. When I went, online ordering at this location was disabled. It was easy to place an order in person, and check a monitor to see when your drink is ready. There's not a lot of space inside the store, so it can get a bit cramped if many people are waiting.

There is always a long line, so it seems to be quite popular. Today there was a buy one get one of a new drink, the golden oolong yuzu, so it was especially busy. I got the Triple Supreme Matcha Latte and ordered on the heytea app instead of waiting in the line to order. 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.

It never disappoints. Don't Yell At Me in Bellevue is located at Bellevue Galleria as it has its own small building in the middle of the area by the water fountain. Though the space is small inside, there are some tables and seats inside but plenty of space at the Bellevue Galleria to have your drink at. My colleagues and I came here for a drink and were pleased that for my friend's birthday, they allowed him to get free toppings for his order. I ordered a mango smoothie with the cheese foam and loved it! The fresh mango pieces were refreshing and the cheese foam has that salty goodness to contrast with the sweet fruit. I'm always pleased with whatever drink I get at Don't Yell At Me. In addition to drinks, they also sell Japanese sandwiches and some merchandise. I'm a fan.

Looking at the menu, their recommended drinks are tea lattes (like Chayan and Molly tea) and fruit drinks. The interior is a nice spot for a couple friends to catch up though. I got the jasmine tea latte with 70% sweet and should've gone with 50%. Unfortunately, the drink was essentially milk with an essence of jasmine tea. I also tried the strawberry smoothie which is a mix of blueberry and strawberry. The orange green tea had muddled orange and green tea. Overall, everything was just okay. I wouldn't come back for their tea lattes however their fruit based drinks were okay.

LA Bean is a Vietnamese cafe in Factoria, selling teas, coffees and banh mis in a welcome setting. I was craving something with mango, so ordered the Mango Kiss tea, which consists of green tea, mango puree and mango pieces on top while my friend had a green tea with lychee. My mango drink was refreshing and delicious, with a ton of mango flavor. I could've easily ordered another one. I'd like to try the Vietnamese coffee with ube next time I visit for when I need more caffeine. There are a lot of different drinks to choose from here, so something for everyone here. Glad to have LA Bean in Factoria, which doesn't have too many boba spots around. 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.

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!

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.
