    Boba option near convention center. They offer a slight variation of milk teas with only oat milk instead of non dairy creamers or whole milk. The store is average size for a boba shop with some seating. I tried the honey jasmine milk tea and while the jasmine flavor came through the overall milk tea felt watery and the honey didnt feel like it really sweetened the drink. The boba was chewy but plain as there was no additional sweetener used like brown sugar.

    First off the space is simple but cute. It's neat and tidy, has big windows for natural lighting, cute things for sale, a decent amount of seating for a small shop, and a small floral backdrop for photos. The Halloween candy set out was a good touch. They also have a variety of macaroons and baked goods for sale. I went with the brown bear milk tea, which had a great flavor, but it was watery. I thought some of the other pictures before trying it myself looked a little watered down. Regardless the service was friendly and it's a good space to catchup with friends.

    This place has been out of my radar for apparently 9 months(?) as I didn't know this place existed until now. Located conveniently between downtown and Capitol Hill, this is a spot that offers a variety of boba drinks. I went around 2pm since I tried going 2 hrs before closing the day before and they ran out of boba... Most of the drinks can be found anywhere, but the brown bear milk tea is not really the case, so I got that. It has black tea, oat milk, Irish cream, hazelnut, and salted caramel, and I added boba for 50 cents extra. They charge tax and a processing fee on top so it is more expensive than expected. The drink has a very strong hazelnut flavor that dominated everything else. It is fragrant but I'd have loved a bit more complexity and nuance to get the other flavors more easily. The boba is unsweetened so it is very unbalanced - I take a sip of a relatively sweet drink and then find myself chewing on water. The texture was on the softer side. Service is okay. It's a one person operation, but the bathroom had no soap which they remedied, only for them to take out the soap immediately after I used it, so what's the point?

    What a cute store and drinks. Unfortunately their drinks weren't too good in my honest opinion. The boba had no flavor and no "chew" to it. The milk teas were pretty milky. Don't think I'd come back.

    Finally tried this new bubble tea spot in the area, always closes before I want boba. We got the night sky tea and it was alright lots of flavors, not sure I really liked it. We asked for 50% sweetness and the person taking our order convinced not to as fruit teas need to be sweeter and we probably shouldn't have listened to her. Overall I just think there's boba spots in the area, it is a nice spot though inbetween Capitol Hill and downtown

    It's truly a lovely boba tea shop at a not-so-popular location. Plenty of spacious and clean seating with cute decor. They have a huge macron selection and all your classic milk tea and fruit tea flavors with adjustable sweetness. I also enjoyed the unique tea flavors from Korea.

    First off the shop itself is adorable. The décor is stunning, the kind of aesthetic spot you'd expect to go Insta-viral in LA. I was honestly surprised it doesn't already have more reviews. The vibe is super calming with great music, and I could easily see this being the perfect little date spot. Now for the drinks--we ordered a Jasmine Green Milk Tea and the Midnight Sky (I think that's what it was called). Both were so light and refreshing, and I really appreciated that they weren't overly sweet. It's rare to find boba shops these days that let the tea shine instead of just loading on sugar. My boyfriend thought the boba pearls were slightly overcooked, but I thought they were perfect--so I'd say that comes down to preference. We also tried two macarons, which were the perfect sweet treat to pair with the drinks. The service was another highlight. There was only one staff member (possibly the owner), and she was so kind and patient. She explained the sweetness levels clearly and didn't rush us at all while we took forever to decide on macaron flavors. Even the bathroom was spotless and nicely decorated, just like the rest of the shop. We left happy, satisfied, and already planning to come back. If you're looking for delicious treats, quality boba that actually tastes like tea, and a super cute atmosphere, this is definitely the spot.

    Ordered the honey jasmine milk tea and it was quite good. Seemed to be sweetened only with honey so loved that it this flavor was very evident and the jasmine tea was also fragrant and delicious. It sort of tasted like it was made with oat milk but it totally slipped my mind to take a photo of the menu! I'll post one as soon as I can. The menu is pretty small, which is honestly refreshing for me because decision paralysis is so real when it comes to robust tea menus. The interior was standard millennial pink milk tea shop vibes. Loved that the only artwork that contrasted with the other decor was an Obama 2008 campaign poster! Would definitely return if this place is on my walking path home again, but not sure that I'd go out of my way for it. Nice spot and location for folks that live in the area.

    The store itself is very homey and well decorated, it has a nice air to it perfect for hangouts, first dates, and studying! The workers are kind and quick to take your order. The food is cute, precise and if I had a bit more money, I would definitely invest!

Their strawberry ice cream is probably my favorite strawberry ice cream in all of Seattle Seattle's best tea? Hard to say, but Seattle's best value tea? 100%. Every single time I have visited Seattle Best Tea, the staff has been incredibly warm and welcoming. However it had been a while since I've visited since boba everywhere costs closer to $10 these days. But I got a chance to visit recently, and lo and behold a cup of milk tea with egg pudding: $6.50 plus tax! And milk tea is still fantastic, with strong tea flavor, even if you skimp on the sugar (at least as low as 30%). I also splurged for some ice cream recently, and despite feeling like a random addition, is actually incredibly soft and creamy. The pistachio has real nuts in there and is full of pistachio flavor without any artificial taste. The strawberry ice cream? My goodness, don't you always wish that strawberry ice cream had more strawberry flavor? Even at Molly Moon's, don't you feel like the strawberry is just not punchy enough? Not the case at Seattle Best Tea, that strawberry ice cream will hit you in the face and send you into a state of strawberry bliss. This was such an unexpected find I can't stop raving about it, and the next time I have a craving for strawberry ice cream, Seattle Best Tea is going to be on the top of my list.

They had a lot of tea options, so we had to make sure we're getting the right one. My gf is obsessed with milk tea, and been on the hunt for the phoenix oolong.

It's exactly the way I like my milk tea! I feel this place to be authentic with their tea leaves, and they seem to be really knowledgeable about their menu.

Luckily everyone was patient and can clearly see he was working hard, and he did let us know that it might take a while. He was a hard worker. The boba place is very tea forward with a variety of options. There were a handful of drinks that had an interesting name, such as, Iron Buddha, but I wish there was a description of what the drink was. I didn't want to ask too many questions given the growing line. I don't think any of the drinks included toppings, so that's an additional charge. I guess it's been a while since I had boba cause the average price was $7-8 without any toppings! The drink was great and tasted delicious, but the operation itself can be better.

Unfortunately, neither one was for me, but I can definitely see why they're popular with younger customers. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and very fast with preparing the drinks.

    I've previously had HeyTea in their Bellevue location, so I expected more or less the same when I…read moregot to this one on a hot, sweaty Tuesday evening around 5:40pm. Because it was hot and sweaty, a big sea of people were waiting both outside and inside this place, and I saw only about 5 or so staff members making all the drinks. There's only two tables and two benches to sit at on the right-hand side of the place; otherwise, the rest of the space is behind the counter where all the drinks are made and the strong aromatic aroma of tea fills the interior. From my visit here, I think you can only place orders either through their lone kiosk to the left-hand side of the entrance near a corner, or by scanning the QR code at the front of the entrance and following prompts on your phone. Staff was too busy making drinks to take orders at the front counter when I was inside. Either way, you have to use the HeyTea app to scan a QR code (on the receipt you get after placing your order) if you want to see an estimate on when your drink(s) will be ready. By the time I signed up for an account and downloaded the app using the slow 5G, my estimated time was 25 minutes; however, the wait for my triple supreme matcha latte (with extra matcha, less sugar and all other things in their recommended settings) ended up being more than 45 minutes as I walked around the perimeter and waited inside and outside this location as well. It was really chaotic trying to get my drink once it was ready; people were cutting in front of me and others to show staff their receipt and pick up their orders even though I was in front of the line. Taste wise though, the matcha is a strong ceremonial blend with grassy tones that actually caught me by surprise. That's because they have a matcha cheese cloud which I thought would have dulled the matcha taste but it didn't! There's also matcha mochi and what tasted like matcha jelly on the bottom which further strengthened the earthy tones. Probably because it was really hot as of this writing, the ice melted much fasted than usual so that's out of this place's control and therefor doesn't detract from my experience itself. Wait here was really long for just one drink but I'm thankful there's something you can use to see when your drinks are ready - in this case, their HeyTea app. I would probably only come back if I was around the area, though wait times for drinks might deter me from doing so altogether.
