Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #62 Sharetea is one of those franchises that can really vary in quality between locations. I'm usually hesitant to visit because I find a lot of them to be below average, but decided to give this one a try anyways. Classic Black Milk Tea, 50% Sugar, Less Ice w/ Boba ($5.80) - As with most Sharetea locations, the milk tea here is exceptionally rich with powdered creamer. It's almost a little too much, with a creamer taste that almost completely overwhelms the tea, not to mention the drink leaving a film on the tongue with each sip. Still, it's smooth rather than being gritty, a sign of everything being well incorporated. Sharetea is quite generous with the toppings, giving a lot of pretty decent boba. They are very consistent in size and shape and have a good chew that bounces back quite readily. It's among the best textures for boba I've found in a US based Sharetea. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 I found this Sharetea to be one of the better locations I've been to. There are other boba shops in the area that I'd choose over Sharetea, but it's certainly not a bad visit. Bathrooms - IIRC one unisex room read more

10/10. Sharetea will always be my favorite and #1 go-to for what a boba milk tea should be. I've definitely had my fair share of bad experiences at other Shareteas throughout the years, but this location is pretty solid!! RARELY do I have an issue and usually the issue is that I got a bit more ice than I would have liked, but other than that, delicious drinks, the staff are all fairly young yet very nice and efficient! I've been helped by the owner as well and he is such a sweet man! :) I've been to this location honestly, over 100 times, I love my milk tea! As of recently, they now have their own app with a new point system where you can also order ahead of time AND they now have a self order kiosk as well as a person at the register! read more

Cute tea spot. I enjoy this location because it's not usually too busy, and they have fun games you can hang out and play while you enjoy your tea. They have a large variety of drinks to choose from, and you can get half cups as well. They also have alternative milk options. Recommend if you like bubble tea. There's something for everyone. My faves are classic and Taro! read more

Sharetea - Classic Milk tea w/ pearl and oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

We came here basically every weekend (sometimes twice) for, I don't know, maybe 6 years? It was to the point where some of the staff recognized us and just handed him our order when he walked in. And yet now they've taken both of our regular drinks off of the menu at the same time. We always did an online order- grapefruit green tea with aloe and a strawberry green/black tea with boba. Suddenly they were gone. We decided to go in and see if it was just an app issue and it wasn't, they just took away both of our drinks lol?? And they seemingly don't have aloe anymore either. So, we haven't been back since that development. Seriously disappointing, I miss my grapefruit green tea! read more

The environment is pretty comfortable, there are some table game there and the couch feels like home. Just the tea is a little too sweet even with 80% sugar. read more

It's a little cluttered and crammed but they have the best bubble tea! I love that they have ice cream in em as well.

Definitely recommend this place. The boba is awesome. I always get my boba from here. Most boba places make me throw up but this place is just awesome I need to say though the place in the RTC is always crowded and the orders take along time to make, but other than that the place is amazing read more

Good service and delicious milk tea.We always get the taro, classic and sometimes the Hokkaido, matcha and Okinawa milk tea. All of them were good. Thank you! read more

Ordered a hokkaido milk tea and it tasted like coconut. Like they used coconut milk? We've been ordering it since they opened their store in Redmond Town Ctr. and it did not taste like that. Their matcha milk tea is not creamy at all. Last time going to this branch. Plus, their employees look unhappy being there. read more

Sharetea never disappoints. We got the Kiwi Fruit Tea and the Thai Tea Ice Blended, our usual, and it was tasty, as always. I got my Kiwi Fruit Tea with the tapioca pearls instead of the aiyu jelly. And I love how Sharetea is never stingy with their toppings. Service was quick and very friendly. read more

Sharetea - Thai Tea Iced Blended (with ice cream instead of tapioca pearls) and Kiwi Fruit Tea (with tapioca pearls instead of aiyu jelly) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Always a solid boba option if you can't decide what you want, so many options! I love their dog series. I'm not sure if they still have it, but they had a husky, golden retriever, and another drink that had lots of toppings (aka double QQ happy family). You can order ahead for pick up if you're in a rush, otherwise expect to wait a little since there's normally a short line. There's a few tables inside and some games to play and plenty of parking. read more

Went into the store midday due to a promotion sign on the street in front saying coffee milk tea was $3.50. The employees said the promo was over but they hadn't removed the sign yet. They would not honor it and said there was no workaround or manual way to do so. Very disappointing and false advertising! read more

Sharetea - False advertising, store wouldn't honor the promo and said it was over even though it was still up. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

So good! The staff could fix their attitudes but I won't hold it against the place as most of the staff are teenagers haha. The drinks are great and flavorful! The place has a modern feel to it, perfect for instagram stories and there are many fun games to play with friends while enjoying your drink!! read more

This is my favorite bubble tea place. The boba is softy and chewy how i like it. They match your sweetness level, so the drink isn't too sugary. read more

Sharetea is one of my go-to bubble tea places! Love their creama and ice blended series!

The drinks were so delicious! I ordered online and the drinks were ready before I got there. read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

This is one of my favorite Share Tea locations! All the employees are always super quick with making the drinks and always follow instructions perfectly. The location is extremely busy pretty much all the time, so I would definitely recommend ordering in advance online. They have a clover online ordering system which will save you some fees from the other online sites. The pick up area during COVID is in the back right of the room. You'll want to stand next to the table blocking the rest of the room and wait for an employee to notice you. They'll hand you your order. read more

Sharetea - Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Jason is the best! He helped us out even when he wasn't available. This location cares about their customers, and I appreciate that, even more than how delicious their drinks are. Amazing people, delicious drinks! read more

Glad to see this place stay open through COVID times. One of our favorite go-to places for bubble tea. My favorite is the traditional milk tea boba. Recently, I tried their mango and icecream drink with lychee jelly. So yumm! I also like that they allow for little customizations with less sugar and ice options. Would be nice to see decaf milk tea options on the menu as well. I really love the milk tea boba but end up having to skip it on days I want to avoid caffeine. Was at the store recently during the pandemic. They do a good job ensuring people maintain social distancing inside the store with markers on the floor and seating areas blocked off. The staff are wearing gloves and are restricting the number of people who are inside the store at any given time. read more

Love sharetea! Even though I don't like going there because I see people I prefer not to, I still go, because their golden retriever 50% sugar less ice is the BOMB.com. Also if you feel like balling on a budget, sharetea is one of the boba stores on the cheaper side around Alderwood. Service is great!!!! I love locking eyes with people I don't want to. It really brings up the ambiance. read more

COVID-19: social distancing marked line, cashier barrier, staff wears gloves and mask. Limited seating due to COVID. Shared parking lot in a small plaza facing streetside. Atmosphere: fast paced and small cafe setting. Service: quick service. order and pay at the register, wait for your order number to be called. The drinks do not come with any toppings--toppings are extra. I love how you can customize ice and sugar levels here. I always feel that at any place 100% sugar is too much--you can never go wrong with 50% sugar! No extra costs to adjust these. Mango Green Tea: made with really blended mango--you can see the bits floating about! Tea flavor is light and is overpowered by the sweetness of the mango. I'm pretty sure champagne mangos are used in this--I do wish it was slightly more tart. I go 50% sugar and it was still pretty sweet. Boba: slightly smaller than your average boba pearls but is still satisfyingly chewy and lightly sweetened. read more

Hear me out when I say that most Sharetea locations are usually just okay or meh BUT this location in Lynnwood never misses. This is one of my go to spots locally because they are consistent with their drinks. My personal favorite is the Mango Green Milk Tea light ice 50% sugar. I'm pretty much a regular here. read more

Sharetea - Mango Green Milk Tea and Hokkaido Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

This Lynnwood location has definitely improved since a year ago. It's my favorite spot for bubble tea in the area. Drinks are consistent and they are efficient even when it gets busy. The owner always works hard and welcomes the customers when he's around. I came today on a snowy day when most businesses were closed and it was still open. I enjoy the hot drinks on colder days (but fyi, the cup is slightly smaller in size for the hot version) read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

A very complicated menu and ordering process. So many combinations and tweaks. I ordered the coffee milk tea with 50% less sugar. Tasted good but had a few chunks of mix that hadn't disloved all the way. Not my "cup of tea", but I gave it a try. read more

Sharetea - a restaurant counter with menus on the wall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Best best best Sharetea location. I've tried from the North to South in WA, Tulalip down to Vancouver WA, every single one, this was the best-tasting one. I came here so much that even the boss recognize me. I always order the same, Oolong boba milk tea with no ice and no sugar. The milk content is excellent, other locations tasted watered down. The fragrance of the oolong is excellent. Boba is not chewy and perfectly cooked. The boss was surprised I tasted the difference between different Shareteas, since they used the same ingredients. But now I know because they continuously cook new boba and new tea throughout the day. The place is clean and tidy. Games around to let people hang out. Best and favorite haretea. read more

I have been going here since they opened. Since then, they are constantly improving. The customer service is always good, and employees always greet people with welcome faces and are eager to serve their customers. Since there is only one register, sometimes the wait can be a bit long, but I've never waited an unreasonable amount of time. On an average day, the wait is less than 10 minutes to both order and get the drink. read more

Love this place! Great customer service and great drinks! If you are looking for a sweet comfy place with tasty drinks this is the place! We recommend! read more

It was amazing! The order was like 15 early which was Fantastic (I needs dat bubble tea ASAP ya know?) All of the tea was fresh-- like my boba was still warm. The only thing was a little annoying was that I only asked for mini boba and the gave me regular and mini boba. But it was fine! I didn't really seem to mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ All in all it was very good tea 10/10 would recommend! read more

I have been craving a nice boba tea and Sharetea hit the spot. I should have gotten the person's name, but he was super helpful in telling me the different between their fresh milk and milk tea drinks. I wanted something with a lot of boba and he helped me out. I got their Boba Fresh Milk and he even explained that is practically 50% boba. He recommended going for 80% sweetness, which I did, but I found it a bit too sweet. The drink instead was basically milk and brown sugar, so if I order 50% sweet, I think it would have been perfect. Regardless, this drink hit the spot and I think about it often.. read more

I always get less ice and a few times I have felt they always gave me more than "less ice". But this time it was ridiculous. I took a few sips and my drink was gone because of how much ice they put in. Luckily I live close by and asked them to remake it. Look at the amount of ice they had put in. Either they need to be retrained or they did not read my order. read more

Sharetea - Ordered less ice and it was at least 70% full of ice. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Sharetea is one of the best and most consistent boba places in Washington (in my opinion), but this location is superrr slow. Last time I came in there were rows and rows of people waiting, definitely order online! I usually get the Oolong Crema or Oolong Milk Tea, both super delicious. But this time I tried the Handmade Fresh Milk Taro (because it doesn't have caffeine, and I did NOT need caffeine that late in the day lol), and I was pleasantly surprised. The drink tasted super fresh and had the perfect amount of sweetness. read more

This Sharetea feels different than other locations because it feels overwhelming and loud, but the drinks are still good. The posters and decor remind me of the shops on the Ave, it feels very young and collegial - not as clean, modern as some of the other shops. During COVID-19, I've found that I've had to speak louder/yell/scream at people sometimes because they can't hear me... this felt like the case when I was trying to order. The music was super loud and the people inside the tea shop were also adding to the chaos. Other than that, no complaints about the drinks! I love my usual handmade taro with fresh milk and tapioca. read more

I mean, bubble tea is great. I typically bounce between the classic pearl and the mango black tea depending on the weather (the classic pearl is too rich and heavy for really hot days), but haven't tried the mango at this location. The classic pearl with black tea (regular ice and sugar) is served with a generous scoop of the pearls. They're a nice soft consistency with that wonderful chewy texture. I've had them too soft and I've also had them too firm, but Sharetea has always had them just right. I may try asking for a little less sugar next time, maybe half sweet. The regular is a bit too sugary for me, but it's just my personal preference and I would suggest sticking with the regular if it's your first time. The only negative is that there isn't enough ice to cool the drink! Even the regular amount of ice melts before the drink is cold, so by the time the ice is gone the drink is still room temp, maybe a little colder. Overall though, pretty good! Will have to try other flavors next time! read more

Sharetea - Classic pearl with regular ice and sugar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Edit to add: I always order the coffee ice cream drink with added boba :) It's very sweet if you like sweet things!

I ordered a peach green tea with aiyu jelly and adjusted the sugar level to 80%. It was so good! The sweetness was perfect and I love the aiyu jelly texture. The staff was friendly and I got my drink fairly quick. The store is spacious and has lots of tables and games. Parking is easy and accessible. read more

I'm addicted to this Sharetea location. It's consistently good and fast. Their boba is always fresh and chewy. I usually get the boba milk tea or the QQ happily family tea. But I've also tried their green tea, kiwi peach tea with aiyu jelly, blended drinks with ice cream, coffee milk tea, etc. ALL GOOD! I don't know what they do to the drinks at this Lynnwood location but this spot is the best Sharetea in the Seattle area. If you're an addict like me then make sure you use the buy 10 get one drink free via clover app. read more

Sharetea is a really good boba shop that I've found to be consistent anywhere you go. I recently moved to WA from CA (where Sharetea is pretty dominant) and I've been feeling some boba withdrawals. After a couple of mediocre boba experiences around, I figured I'd just go back to a Sharetea. This is my first Sharetea experience I've had in the state. LOCATION & PARKING // I don't know if it's just me but the streets around here at night at DARK. It is extremely difficult to drive around here unless you have amazing night vision. We came around 9:30pm (they close at 10pm) and the plaza was just super dark in general. Parking was fine. SERVICE // So... I originally ordered a WINTERMELON TEA with BOBA. At other Sharetea locations, I've been able to lessen the sweetness level of this drink. When I tried to do that here, they said they couldn't do it. I don't necessarily blame that if that's the general rule but I've never had an issue with that. My issue was the staff member who told me she couldn't do that and then proceeded to stare blankly at me. When I said, "That's okay, I'll order something else" and looked at the menu, she interrupted me and acted standoff-ish and annoyed for the rest of our interaction. Um... okay. It wasn't absolutely horrible but it was weird enough that it stood out to me. DRINK // Ended up with a CLASSIC MILK TEA (BLACK) with BOBA 80%. Can't complain. It's your standard milk tea! OVERALL // 3.5 stars Maybe I need to come back and check it out more. The drink and store itself were good but I don't know. It just felt off. Hopefully, my interaction with the staff member will be better! read more

I don't love share tea but this spot is pretty good if you are a share tea lover or want some decent boba milk tea. Friendly and quick staff, clean new spot with lots of parking. I just don't like the taste of share tea specifically but it's not bad. Depends on your taste. read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Clean and very friendly customer service. Great menu selection. First time trying any type of Boba drink since moving to Washington and Sharetea had a lot of great reviews, so it was obvious that we had to check this place out. Zoey has her classic signature drink, the Classic Milk Tea with very generous amounts of boba. I myself decided to get out of my comfort zone and decided to be daring...lol! I went for one of Sharetea's favorites, the Strawberry Ice Blended w/ Lychee and Ice Cream. Let me tell you....it did not disappoint! We can't wait to bring the hubby along with his credit card on our next visit. read more

I'm from Taiwan and I've been buying drinks from Sharetea over there for 10 plus year. I visited this location with my husband last weekend, and was not really impressed. Not bad, not great, just ordinary. I ordered the fresh milk tea with boba, the milk tea was really dark (indicating not enough milk was added) and the boba was just ok, not as tasty as it can be. The trend now for boba is to cook them in black sugar, it just gives the boba more of a caramel flavor and more depth. I couldn't really taste the black sugar here, maybe Sharetea does not cook their boba this way at all. I don't know. A tip here, for health conscious people. They only add real milk to their drinks in the fresh milk tea section on the menu. For everything else they add non dairy creamer (including the fancy sounding Japanese milk teas). It's not great for your body. read more
