On sunny days they have bistro seating outside that are yellow and adorable. The banh mis are truly one of the best around becuase they still use real pate and I love mayo on a banh mi because without it it's too dry. The meat to bread ratio is perfect I never had to adjust anything it's perfectly crafted.

Some of the best banh mi I've had in Seattle! To be noted I had it a few hours after it was made,…read morebut reassembled it by toasting the bread and heating up the meat separately from the veggies. All together it was one of the best tasting and textured bites I've had. The bread was SO crisp on the outside yet soft and fluffy in the middle, and the pork was super flavorful. I love whatever marinade they use! I believe there was some sort of sauce / mayo inside too which added even more yumminess. I need to come back and try the classics banh mi next!

From…read moremy Traditional Sugarcane Juice (using REAL sugarcane) to my Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Pork and Eggroll that I ordered for lunch, the food and drinks we enjoyed were all very delicious and tasted fresh! They have a nice view from across the street of Alki Beach from their pretty roomy outdoor patio seating and it's a prime location for people-watching. We had an overall wonderful first dining experience at Natalie's. We look forward to many more visits and making this one of our regular spots. I can't wait to check out their other locations soon, such as their Tukwila location since I frequent that area often.

This is such a great place to stop by when you're in Alki! The sugarcane juices were refreshing and…read morenot overly sweet, and they use real sugar cane. We also got the avocado smoothie which was really creamy. We chose 50% sweet, but it wasn't sweet at all so I'd recommend 75% or 100% sweetness. It's nice that the drinks aren't that sweet though.

I usually go to the Alki location but have been here. I get a tea blended which isn't on the menu but they have always happily made it for me. The kid working did not want to do it so I said okay I'll just go. He then said he'd make it. He barely put ice in and gave me a watery blended drink. It wasn't right. He insisted it was. I finally just returned the drink and left. It shouldn't ever be this difficult to get a drink. I'm really not difficult but it's not hard to blend a drink.

I came across this TP Tea store in Seattle Chinatown, my first time trying their drinks. This store…read morewas spectacular inside, with high ceilings, modern furnishings and sitting space. It was so clean and slick. The menu had milk tea, tea latte, flavored tea, pink salt cheese crema, alongside 10 different toppings. Sugar and ice level were customizable. I ordered the crema mango tea and the signature milk tea. The baristas were helpful. They took the ordered and prepared the drinks in few minutes. The mango crema was so delicious. The bobas were sweet, soft and chewy. I loved the flavor so much, finished the whole drink in 10 minutes.

After dinner nearby, we decided on TP Tea for dessert. It wasn't too crowded a couple Fridays ago,…read moreand we were able to sit at one of the comfortable sofas while enjoying our drinks. TP MILK TEA + grass jelly, 30% sugar This is their oolong milk tea made Tieguanyin leaves. The ratio of tea and milk was perfect, but I didn't like that the milk left a bit of residue at the back of my throat. My friends got the Fresh Fruit Tea with Chia Seed and a seasonal drink with strawberries. I personally enjoyed the fruit teas more and would try one of these on a future visit.

The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. We ordered the pandan and the white rabbit candy, and they were not overly sweet with great texture and flavor! It definitely hit the spot for a sweet treat. I will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area!

(5/5) and highly recommend eating with a spoon because it does get messy after a while! the viet coffee (4/5) it says on the menu its meant to be sipped and it was STRONG. i ended up sipping it but then most of the ice melted so i couldn't fully enjoy it. the service was really nice! they let me try different ice cream flavors. there is a couple tables to sit down and enjoy your sweets!

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.

I visited twice and tried two different drinks on separate days: the Mango Coconut Tea and the…read morePistachio Tea. 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 would be back if I was in the area and craving boba but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out. Like most spots, you order from a kiosk and the store is pretty small, so this would be take out only. There's also not a lot of space to wait for your drinks but not much they can do based on how small the store is.
