I love coming to this boba shop! I personally think it's one of the best in the area, nothing comes close. They're also going to open a noodle bar in the same building, so that's something to look forward to in the future! My favorite drink is their straw-lychee with lychee jelly. They provide excellent service and make sure they to make your drink to your liking. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends or study for school. They have board games that you can play with too! I love this boba shop! read more

Got the brown sugar milk tea with boba. Love the branding and the capybara theme. I felt like the drink was the perfect sweetness and the boba was a pretty good texture, more on the mushy side. Definitely a more real tea flavor taste than most boba spots that I've tried in Vancouver. read more

Their shop is ginormous! They have a large lounge area, suitable to get boba and catch up with friends. Very aesthetically pleasing. There's not a huge variety with their tea flavors, but the ones we tried were still yummy! We got the straw-mango & organic matcha - both with boba. Their boba texture is perfect and chewy. The matcha was a tad bit bitter than usual but not too bad. They tend to run sweet so I recommend getting 75% or 50% on sweetness. They were very welcoming and kind :) read more

Very very cute place! Capybara decorations everywhere--even in the bathroom!! So cute, they sell merch, and the barista was friendly. I went here with my boyfriend for our 6 month and while the boba wasn't our favorite, the icecream was AMAZING! I just wish the boba was a bit fresher, maybe warm like fresh out of the pot. I'd go here again, and i really like the whole vibe of the place. music was great too! read more

The staff here are friendly and the decor is very cute. I really wanted to like this place since I live close by but unfortunately, their drinks were awful. I got 2 drinks and they were both terrible. They were very watered down and tasted weird. I took one sip and threw it away. I also got the ube and matcha swirl soft serve. It was mediocre at best. The flavors weren't very strong for either. I will not be coming back. read more

Best experience! The Taro tornado was delicious! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Boba is fresh! Definitely stop here!

I enjoyed their boba tea and best soft serve in the Couve, the staff were very friendly and the Ambiance is cute filled with capybaras!

Sheesh, where do I start?! The cafe itself is cute but that's where the cute stopped! The menu board is overwhelming and intimidating, there was zero engagement or help from the workers despite multiple people standing around trying to decide/figure out the menu. The specialty ones with the soft serve on top are $9.95! Know these are not smoothies either, they are just tea and they add ice to it. This entire concept is lost on me and not at all what I expected. If you don't drink this entire thing immediately you are choking on ice as it melts and is now being sucked up in the straw with the jelly's. They also do not provide lids for these. When we were served ours one was so full it spilt everywhere when they slide it across the counter. It got all over my husband's hands and the cup. They laughed and said whoops, that happens a lot and walked away. No offer to wipe down the cup or something for my husband to clean his hands with. And to top it off these drinks were so disgustingly sweet we couldn't drink them. The pineapple, strawberry one tasted like cough syrup and burned our throats it was so sweet. For $22 and a 30 minute drive this was such a massive disappointment and waste of money and time. read more

Softea - This is how much we could stomach before throwing them out. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Yummy drinks! Dairy / caffeine and nondairy /noncaffinated options. Plenty of room inside to site and chat, play games, or get work done. Very attentive and friendly service. read more

I've been in the Vancouver area more often lately so I decided to try some boba shops out. I came across an Instagram reel of Softea and saw how cute the deco of the place is and their drinks and soft serve also looked good so I decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon. My friends and I ordered 6 different things to try as follows: 1. Ube + vanilla soft serve swirl: 6/10 - Vanilla is always a safe bet so that was good, but unfortunately the ube wasn't strong. It tasted more like just vanilla with a faint flavor of ube. I prefer Matcha Cafe Maiko's ube soft serve much more as the ube fragrance is much stronger! Their soft serve wasn't as creamy as I hoped it would be too. 2. Ube + matcha soft serve: 6/10 - The matcha was a bit on the bitter side so it was just alright. Once again, Matcha Cafe Maiko's matcha offerings are much better imo! 3. Taro Tornado: 0/10 - This was a huge disappointment. I've been a lifelong taro enthusiast so I try taro anywhere that offers it, which means of course I tried it here. I had high expectations but was met with regret. There was no taste of taro at all. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it had a weird stale nutty taste and an even worse aftertaste. It was just bad. Mind you, I ordered everything original, no milk subs or sugar adjustments. My friends also tried it and agreed that is was just bad. It was so bad that we just threw it away as it just tasted super off. I've had plenty of good taro milk teas before and this wasn't even close. 4. Roasted oolong milk tea: 0/10 - Another let down. Once again, I ordered it with no adjustments but it tasted so watered down. There was only a slight tea flavor. We also threw this one out as it was pointless to drink what tasted like watery milk with a hint of tea. Yin's tea in Portland has a much better oolong tea as their's has a strong tea flavor balanced by creamy homemade milk and perfect sweetness level. 5. Lychee green tea: 8/10 - Pretty good. It has good sweetness level and lychee+tea flavor. 6. Strawberry jasmine tea: 8/10 - Also pretty good. Good sweetness and flavor as well. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. I really wanted to like the place as their deco and capybara theme was very cute and aesthetic (pic worthy!). I must also mention their staff were friendly and the service was fast and good, so I appreciated that. It's just their product offerings weren't good and overhyped imo. The soft serve flavors weren't strong and the texture isn't as creamy as I've had at other places. Their milk teas aren't good and I definitely would not get again. The best thing was the fruit teas. They were decently good and I would drink it again. This was a one time try type of place for me. For now, I will not be coming back to Softea. If they ever update their menu and/or improve their drinks and soft serve, then perhaps I'll give it another chance then, but as of my recent visit, I wouldn't recommend trying. I would rather get drinks from Daboba that's 10 minutes away. Their drinks are actually amazing and worth coming back for (as I've been stopping by there at least once a week!). Softea has good ambiance, deco, and vibes, fast service, and friendly staff, but at the end of the day, I came to try their drinks and soft serve and those were a huge disappointment so I will not be coming back. read more

This is a great place to get a yummy drink and hang out! The ambiance is chill and I love how the interior was designed. We ordered the Mango Milk Tea and Pineapple Express. Both drinks were really good, but the highlight was the Dole whip from the Pineapple Express. So good! We will definitely be coming back for that and to play some of the games that are available for customers. read more

It's a bit unfortunate, but while the staff and atmosphere is great, the drink was rather watery. I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba, and it tasted as if there was a touch of jasmine, 70, if not 80% water, and the rest being whatever dairy they use. The tapioca is good, but i can only assume that is bought instead of made. It really is a cute place and a cute idea, but it isn't something worth buying. I'm sure if they change the way they make the tea, they'd be much better. read more

This was hands down the worst drink I've ever had. I took one sip of the boba and ice cream concoction and immediately regretted it. The boba was like chewing on rubbery pellets, and the ice cream tasted like it had been left out to melt and refreeze a few too many times. The flavors didn't mix--they clashed. It was so bad I couldn't even finish it, just threw it away after one sip. Save your taste buds and your money; this was a complete disaster in a cup. read more

this place is awesome! The tea is amazing and the place is huge! The ambience is super nice and the service is fast. Definitely coming back! Love the branding as well. read more

Had the cappyccino milk tea! Drink was good. The ambience was great. They were pretty busy so had to wait a little bit, but overall not bad.

I am only able to come in the evenings and the website always says that it closes at 9. When I arrive, it is always closed early. Change your hours if you're not going to be open when it says you are. read more

Cute and ginormous store! Friendly service. Tasty drink and soft serve but prices are a bit overpriced.

I decided to go on the grand opening day a couple hours after opening with a group of friends. I liked how nicely decorated this place is. Very earthy. There were a lot of different options and there was also Korean chicken as well. I tried the Korean chicken which was soggy and didn't have any flavor to it besides chicken. I have had the Korean chicken at Kenji's before and it was definitely more crispy and flavorful than what I had. They have different soft, serves as well, including Ube, Matcha, Vanilla and Dole whip. I ordered the strawberry Matcha with Boba and the wait time was about 10 minutes. I was disappointed in the texture of the Boba. Chewing it was a bit tough, and that might be because it was an old batch or it might've been because we went a couple hours later and it wasn't as fresh. The drink itself was good. I ordered it on 75% sweetness, which was perfect for my taste. Something I found inconvenient was that the drinks that had ice cream on top did not have any lids or even a dome lid. It makes it inconvenient because if you're not eating the ice cream right away, then it would spill all over with the open top. I am hoping that when I come back that I will have fresh Boba as well as trying the soft serve options as well. read more

Fantastic. The absolute best. Had the Kenji chicken today as a snack and was unexpectedly impressed. Tea is so fresh!

Great boba and the chicken bites are really good. I will definitely come back. They have cute stuff for sale as well.

Best boba place I've been to! The place is nice and it's complimented by their amazing drinks. For sure a place to come whether you want to study or hang out with friends. Service is also amazing as they treat you well. Will be coming back for sure. read more
