Nut allergy friendly: No issues here. TL;DR: Holy moly, the drinks are sweet. Parking: Was pretty difficult. Very lucky to get a spot near the front. I stopped in here on the way out of bowling across the street, love to support little local boba shops. Service was quick. I got an Oolong Milk Tea with 1/4 sugar and less ice for myself, and a regular black milk tea for a friend, both with boba. Even the 1/4 sugar Oolong Milk Tea was very sweet for me. I think the tea flavor was okay - nothing stood out for me. Overall, I'd go back to try something else, but it was an average option. Great for the availability and where it is, some better options in Seattle. read more

This is like the Starbucks of bubble tea. There's tons of options and flavors to choose from. Everything is customizable either for a fee or free, depending on what you want. Some of the drinks are pretty pricey like some of the shakes, but the milk teas are reasonable for the area. What I like the most here is that certain toppings are free, especially some of my favorites like pudding and the fruit jellies. The pudding has a nice flavor. Sometimes I don't taste any pudding when I add them at other bubble tea shops. The toppings are the right texture whenever I add them. read more

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe - Pochi - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

I was in the area for lunch and decided to stop at Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe for a sweet drink. As almost always with a new-to-me boba shop, I went with the most basic milk tea. Black Milk Tea, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($6.01) - I don't understand the obsession for these more westerner-catering boba shops (easily recognizable because the menus typically focus on flavorings rather than tea) to include artificial fruity-ish flavors in their straight milk teas. When a drink tastes like this, I'd honestly rather it be covered up with milk powder/creamer instead. At any rate, the "tea" here is not very good. I'm not going to say that they don't use fresh tea leaves, but the drink is completely lacking in tea flavor and very artificial tasting. I guess most likely due to the sweetener or some other additive. This is one of the few boba shops I've seen that actually charges extra for having less ice (25 cents for less, 50 cents for no ice). I've seen some places charge a nominal fee for no ice, but for less ice? That's a bizarre nickel and diming practice in my opinion. Then again, it's probably on purpose, considering that basically half the cup was still filled with ice after finishing the drink. Even with all the ice, they still leave about a half inch gap on top of the cup, not filling it to full. The boba here is fine - good smoothness on the exterior, with a decent but firm chew. It feels like the boba would be perfect in a hot drink, but adding the pearls to a cold drink makes them firm up a bit too much. I don't believe Pochi includes dairy milk in their drinks, but I got a hint of evaporated or condensed milk around the pearls. Milk Tea Rating: 2/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 Note: There's a 10 cent "convenience fee" to use the kiosk. Another nickle and diming tactic. The drink I received at Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe was very mediocre. The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. Ugh... I better stop here before I decide to downgrade them from a 3 to a 2... Bathrooms: Two unisex rooms that require keys to get in. read more

I absolutely loveeee their creamy shakes! It's the perfect spot to visit when you're craving something sweet. They offer a wide variety of drinks along with a few food options, and the popcorn chicken is a must-try. I also love that it's only about 10 minutes from my house and stays open late. It can get busy, so I usually order online for pickup. The staff is always friendly and efficient. My go-to order is the taro strawberry creamy shake with 50% sweetness :) read more

The OG pochi location. I love pochi bubble tea because they have so many different flavors/combinations. My favorite is the jasmine black milk tea right now. But I also love their slushies and shakes. They also have a bunch of different toppings options. My favorite is the mini boba. read more

Great place if you are looking for a very large menu with just about any flavor, you can think of. They have lots of seasonal drinks too. Seems like they do a lot of things OK, but nothing super well. The Thai tea was quite syrupy. Unfortunately their coffee drink doesn't actually have real coffee in it which was disappointing to me. Also, be prepared for an up charge for everything. No toppings are included And additional charge for less or no ice. I had ordered my drink with less ice and there was still a significant amount, it would've been mostly ice if I got the regular amount. Drinks end up being 8+ dollars if you want toppings Looks like they have a good selection of snack items which I didn't try this trip, but in the past, they have been pretty good. read more

Popular boba spot with an extensive menu and instagram photo wall! Large lobby with plenty of seating and board games available to play while you chat and eat. Seems to be a popular hang out spot for the teens in the area. Screen ordering with a rewards points program. Today I tried an Avocado creamy shake with boba, made with coconut milk which was tasty but didn't blow me away. Drinks are a bit on the pricier side but they do have a weekday happy hour (1-5pm - Mon-Thurs) for fries and gyoza which is cool! Lobby did need a wipe down. I took my drink to go. Free parking in the lot. Staff seemed happy and were friendly when I received my drink at the counter. read more

I drove by Pochi randomly and their extensive menu caught my eye. There's something for everyone. The snacks were also delicious. The popcorn chicken was tender and full of white meat. The fry portions are very generous and also seasoned really well. It's definitely a favorite! Staff are pretty friendly and it's a great spot to just hang out, watch TV, and play games. read more

This is a small little place off of the main road. They do have a parking lot that is free parking. The exterior and interior don't offer much in my opinion, and it looks kind of empty. But I love the menu and the service is always really friendly. They do have an Instagram photo wall inside and some table top games. The service is self-service essentially. You don't even have to speak to staff to make an order off their monitor. But the menu is large and they have lots of options and each option is customizable. Definitely a place I revisit. read more

My friends recommended Pochi while I was in town, and I'm so glad they did. We were looking for a dessert shop after dinner and we swung by Pochi. There was ample parking in the evening (8 pm). I ordered a wintermelon milk tea and customized it with 50% sweetness, soy milk and a pudding topping. I'm glad there are many options to customize your drink. However, if you choose less ice, it's an additional $0.50 charge. I left my drink as regular ice just to try it out. To my delight, the drink tasted concentrated and delicious. The drink came out in a reasonable amount of time. There are also cards and board games in the cafe. I played some games with my friends while we sipped on our boba. It's a nice atmosphere to gather and hang out. read more

Overall it's a great place for drinks like smoothies. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because they should include at least one free topping Espically since with tax each drink it's over $8. They have a couple of free ones but for those that don't like boba and want marshmallows for example, it's gonna cost extra even though it's not an "add on" it's in leu of. read more

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe - Fries - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Pochi's is a favorite! I have been going here since its opened. Friend was friends with the owners and we always made a pit stop here. Now they have two additional locations: Kirkland & Marysville! Pochi has some of the best boba tea in the area. They have a great selection (can almost be overwhelming) of options to chose from. They have some small bites to eat-the garlic fries are bomb. They have tables and games available making this a cool hang out spot. I've come quite a few times to drink boba and play games with friends. I've never been and it's empty. There's usually always a little line (but goes quick). There's a self order kiosk you can order from, or you could order at the counter. The location is right in 164th, which can be tricky to turn left into if you're coming off the freeway. My recommendation is turning at that light (right before) and coming in around the back of the strip mall building. There is a parking lot to park in. Yesterday I visited again with a friend. She was new to the boba experience but seemed to really like her drink: strawberry slush with strawberry poppin bobas. I got the White Rabbit Shake with tapioca pearls. Yes-white rabbit, as in those yummy rice candies you can get. Pochi's is the only boba place I know that has that flavor. They had it as a limited time only but now it's nestled a spot onto their menu. My friend and I played games and hung out in the AC. Lots of traffic in and out but still a good vibe. I highly recommend checking out a Pochi's location! read more

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Pochis is a staple of the high school days and is very nostalgic, but comparable to the early generation of bubble tea spots. I haven't been here since high school and decided to make a pit stop - instantly regretted it. Sorry Pochis but the seasonal White Rabbit Candy Shake was arguably the worst drink I've had in years. Other drinks were fine and just as I remembered, but the shake was not finishable. As a group, we had ordered two and had to trash both after a few sips. Come here for any of their classics but skip any specials because they don't have it down yet. I'm very scarred by this most recent experience. The taro and wintermelon, for instance, were pretty normal but what was meant to be a special item was horrendous. White Rabbit Candy Shake - imagine drinking dish soap. After a sip, there's not much flavor as if it's watered down, but there's a terrible after taste. The immediate consensus with our group was of disgust, relating the taste to a poor mix of chemicals. Eventually we realized it was more soapy of a taste. Doesn't matter what toppings you put in, you'll want to stop after tasting the liquid itself. read more

My favorite boba place. So many freakin options to choose from. Love their creamy avocado coconut with boba.

I wanna callout out this is for the white rabbit candy shake specifically. I got it today and was extremely disappointed. I've never been grossed out by one of their drinks before but this was a hard pass. I couldn't even finish it and stopped drinking it after two sips. I had already left the shop so idk how the workers would have handled it. But now I'm home and have a full drink I need to toss because of it's chemically taste read more

It was really expensive for a taste that was just okay :/ literally everything had a surcharge (extra sweet was a surcharge??) On top of this, they didn't even fill my shake drink all the way? there was like less than a quarter of air on the top which... for almost $9 a drink i'm expecting it to be filled all the way? the vibes weren't that great either. There are better places that are cheaper for boba ‍ read more

They revamped this place since the last time I was here a few years ago. Cleaner interior, cute place. Decent bubble tea. It's the "go to" spot here in Lynnwood if you've been here for awhile. The garlic fries are a classic. I miss their Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Just wish service was a little faster during busy times, but it's totally reasonable. read more

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe - Taro Boba with lychee jelly and tapioca pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Friendly staff and yummy bubble tea and food! We ordered a taro banana smoothie, black milk tea, garlic fries, and the popcorn chicken basket. The best item was the taro banana smoothie. The flavors were perfectly balanced and I believe they use real fruit in their smoothies which I love. You can tell this is a staple bubble tea spot in the area. There was a long line when we arrived but I was surprised how quickly the staff served each customer. We were in and out with two drinks and two hot food items within 15 minutes. While you wait you can play one of the many board games they have in the seating area. Overall I liked this spot and will definitely come back next time I am in the area. read more

I really love pochis and their drinks are one of the best drinks in Seattle, but often their drinks come very chunky and chalky. I love how their board games a fun place with friends but it does get extremely crowded and very overwhelming, if that's not you're vibe id definitely recommend someplace else! read more

This is a local favorite boba place in the Lynnwood area, where one of my friends raised here always goes here back in middle school/high school for the sugary drinks. What was described still feels true to this day, when I tried their holiday seasonal coffee eggnog milk tea with boba. It's flavored one dimensionally as it is mixed thoroughly, but the boba texture here is amazing - perfectly chewy but not soft. It definitely might be one of the best bobas I have tried in the greater Seattle area. Even at 75% sugar (less sugar), it was still crazy sweet, so 25-50% sugar is already more than sufficient. The downside is that you have to go through the work to figure out how much the drink exactly costs because nowhere do you see prices inside the place, but rather, in an ordering page that can be hard to navigate to reliably. Some drinks can exceed $7 if you're not careful! read more

One of my favorite boba spots in the area! They have a pretty diverse hot and savory food/snack menu that a lot of boba places just don't do anymore unfortunately. Majority of boba spots just stick with drinks-only nowadays. Plenty of seating, perhaps up to ~20 ppl? With a selection of cards and board games to play. The shocking passion seasonal special was actually really good, reminiscent of Italian sodas that og boba places like tapioca express used to sell. Thai tea was pretty standard. Boba was fresh Oh and final note they have a ton of different dipping sauces for their chicken basket! read more

Charging extra for less ice on your drink is never seen or heard anywhere. So CHEAP! Would you charge for extra ice too?

This place has one million drink options which is why I'd give it a 4 out if 5 stars, so if you want something delicious a fruity and yummy, you're at the right place. However, I would not say that this is an authentic bubble tea place, but it's a great place for a shake or smoothie or creative fun sweet treat! Everyone working there is really nice. Inside the cafe there's usually a lot of kids at the store - it must be popular amongst the kids! read more

This place is quickly becoming one of my favorite places! It's a little out of my way but the service and quality of drink and food is top notch. LOCATION & PARKING // It's in Lynnwood right off of 164th Street. If you're coming from the freeway, you may miss it! There is a private parking lot here though and I've never had an issue. DRINKS // I've had a variety of different drinks here, including: ALMOND MILK TEA: This was such a great almond milk tea. It didn't have that overwhelming almond aftertaste (think almond jelly) but, instead, it was quite subtle. It was slightly sweet but not sugar-y at all. It was more so refreshing. TARO MILK TEA: I love taro milk tea so much. I hate when it tastes overly powdery and thin but they did it quite well here! I would recommend getting it less sweet. RED BEAN MILK TEA: I haven't seen red bean milk tea around Seattle too much so I had some high expectations for this. This is now one of my favorites! There are chunks of red bean in here though so keep that in mind. I don't mind that though. I've had their BOBA and MINI BOBA as toppings and they're both soft and chewy options! FOOD // My friends and I shared some CAJUN FRIES. We got they were going to be basic whatever fries but these were so good? They were thin, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. In addition, it came with these two AMAZING sauces. I don't know. It's weird that I crave fries from a specific cafe but... I do. SERVICE // If you asked me to describe the service before the coronavirus, I would've said that it's fine as you don't interact with staff that much. I went back for boba takeout and the service was truly great! They were super kind. OVERALL // 5.0 stars This would be dangerous if this place was closer to me. It's definitely one of my favorite boba places now. read more

I don't typically leave reviews but had to this time. This was my first time here and I ordered Thai milk tea with boba. Simple enough right? The bubble tea itself is good. A little too sweet even for the less sweet option but that's ok with me because I just water it down a little and it's fine, plus I get more for my money. :) The reason for the 3 stars is because my milk tea had tea leaves in it. Not just a little bit... it was not strained at all (see pic for all the tea leaves I strained out). I don't know if this is how they usually make it here, but it sure definitely is not how I make it at home. I appreciate that my tea was actually brewed and not powdered stuff, but please make sure to strain the tea first before serving. read more

Everytime i've been here it's been excellent customer service with absolutely amazing boba. there's a self order kiosk, as well as an order counter and you can make whatever drink you want. I think the guy is the owner? But the Asian guy there is absolutely amazing at his job. Today was better because we went in and got 2 drinks, and we instead got 3 because they made his drink a little too watery so he remade the drink and gave us the other one as well. very cool very nice in there and very good boba. read more

Paying $8 for a boba drink feels a bit absurd but with a dearth of actually good boba shops in Seattle, I will do it. Plus the young folks who work here are nice and seem to be hauling ass. I sure hope they get paid decent wages. Standard black milk tea with mini pearls at 50% sweetness is my go to. Since I live like a 45 min drive away I only stop by when in the area, which is good because I would be broke otherwise. The entire interior is different now all modern, which I hate. But I understand they can't have cozy couches and games during a pandemic. Pochi is no longer a hang out spot but they seem to be doing well (the line was very long, albeit constantly moving). read more
