Perfect timing to give it a try via a TGTG double pickup on 3/15/26. It was very rainy Sunday night arriving before closing. We were handed two well packed bags and headed home. What a terrific way to test out the bevs and goods beforehand. The generous TGTG haul including the following: two fruit teas, two milk teas, and two rice bowls. We divvied up the proteins and ended up with very satisfying late night meals. Both had steamed rice topped with succulent chicken wings, well spiced popcorn chicken, bamboo shoots, and flavorful braised cabbage. Definitely we look forward to checking out other menu items and dining onsite in the future. The restaurant shares a large parking lot and accessible via Community Transit. Recommended spot along Hwy 99 in Edmonds!

They sell in a minimum of 2 oz for most, unless they cost more than $5 per oz. Most are $4-ish per oz. I had a very fun time chatting with the lady about the types of tea, the flavor notes, brewing process, and more. It is so obvious that we are both tea lovers. Since I am also a tea hoarder, I chose ones that I didn't already have which can be difficult. Lol. Luckily, she suggested I try the organic Japanese Bancha which is somewhat adjacent in flavor to Kukicha, a Japanese tea using only green tea stems. The bancha is a subset of sencha. I also chose a black current tea; the aroma is captivating! Other than tea, they sell many gift items, including clothing. It is a very fun place to browse, shop, and sample a small cup of tea in their thermos.

I've been on quite the tea-kick lately, so stumbling on a local biz filled with dried leaves and rare goods, really got me excited. Half of the store is dedicated to tea and tea accessories. Their largest wall showcases dozens of cannisters of fresh dried teas. The assortment is astounding, you're guaranteed to find one that fits your flavor profile. They also have tastings onsite, though the flavors are rather limited. The accessories were top notch. I couldn't help but fall in love with the many tea pots, mugs, and unique goodies you can't find anywhere else. I grabbed a number of green tea blends to take home. I've noticed that including a cup of tea with fresh leaves has really added some excitement to my daily gratitude practice.

I asked for their most popular dessert, the guy at the register said it was the ube basque so I ordered it, to go. The flavor was good but I disliked the amount of food coloring used. The purple color was quite exaggerated and my stomach complained about it later on. I noticed a similar intensity with the green color of the pistachio option. I should've known better and order something else but I was tempted by it since I was told it was their best selling option. Sadly and very disappointed, I later discovered on their website that this ube basque is not even shown on their menu! Apparently, croffles are their most popular desserts... I don't understand why they didn't tell me that... but whatever. Intense food dye + lack of honesty with the recommendation = Hence the 3 stars.

Figured I'd have to wait a bit bc I got there within 5 minutes of ordering, but everything was already packaged and ready to go. Decided to try a few different things. The mango jasmine green tea with tapioca was helllaaa refreshing. Who knows, maybe it was just bc I lost 83728lbs of sweat working out but. Whatever. I got it w less ice + half sugar and it was honestly still a bit too sweet IMO. The bubble waffle was aight. Tbh I just wanted to try it out. I got the OG w some puff cream or something. The lil balls alone are pretty good. The puff cream just adds a bit of sweet/salt flava to da mix. The texture of the actual waffle was pretty airy/light. The Korean corn dog was busssin. You can't go wrong w whatever variation you get. I got mine with the honey mustard sauce and ooooowee. Overall, solid. I'm sure I got like at LEAST 10g of protein from this meal lmao. Alright peace

Fortunately, there was no traffic so it was a 20 min drive easily. However, a lot seemed to have changed from about a year ago? We got popcorn chicken which was $9 for a very tiny plate (like the medium size sampler food container you get at food tasting events) which is a joke of a portion, and the chicken was not even good quality - heavy on the batter. Compared to pictures a year ago, where the portions looked much much larger. They are so stingy on the amount of chicken, that I thought they were giving us a sample to try before they make a real batch lmaooooo. I tried the Kocochi milk tea with creme brulee, boba, jelly, etc. Sounds good on paper, inflation I get it, was expecting $7 but it was $8, plus tax, so it is actually not that competitive of a price anymore now that I think about it. I could get a very good quality boba drink for $7.50+tax elsewhere without all the fancy toppings, but with boba included. I was pretty disappointed with the quality. The boba is so overcooked that it is mushy, and the creme brulee was not thick enough that I have to use a spoon to even be able to get any of it out (instead of being able to drink it from the other side which is what it is supposed to be). I'd avoid this place unless this is a one off but I will need to be redeemed a better experience before recommending this place. There are better options in the area

Despite being in business for nearly 13 years, this is my first visit to Cafe Louvre (12/9/25). After two days of staying in due to the stormy weather, I decided to venture out and try some place new. I snagged a 3 hour parking slot, yay! The cafe is in a shared building with six other businesses. Pleasant interior with natural light, mellow overhead music, various seating with 2 & 3 tops, communal seating by a fireplace, and group seating off to the side that can be reserved. It is currently decorated for the holidays, but also featured work from local artists. First visit & first meal of the day coming up on 1pm, I opted for a grande mocha and a 4 inch proscuitto sandwich. The overhead menu and display cases have a nice variety. Pastries are from Macrina and coffee roasts are from Caffe Umbria. Their espresso beverages are very generous. The grande mocha was served in a huge mug, reminiscent of a souffle ramekin. Well crafted too. I enjoyed the 4 inch proscuitto sandwich. Perfectly sized and sliced, not too big, not too small, Goldilocks just right. Served warm with proscuitto, melty cheese, pesto spread, spinach, and basil in a soft, square roll. Most of the folks onsite are having active convos or business type meetups, only two on laptops. And one doing a Yelp post, lol. After being onsite for 2.5 hours on a weekday early afternoon, seems to be an older demographic that visits here. Clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Love discovering new & established businesses in the north end, like Cafe Louvre.

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #73…read more You'd think it would be a prime spot for more competition, but Oasis Tea Zone is the only boba shop in downtown Edmonds. I was initially hesitant on visiting since based on their menu, they seem like a first wave type of boba shop that mainly uses powders and syrups. After seeing that they have $3 drinks during Happy Hour from 2-4 PM on weekdays, however, I decided to give them a chance. Royal Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice ($3) - The milk tea has decent black tea flavor, albeit a bit generic, the sweetness at half is right on the dot for a typical half sweetened drink, and half ice isn't too much. The drink is on the powdery side, which leaves a kind of residue that coats the mouth after each sip. I'm wondering if they use perhaps powdered tea in their drinks? Still, there aren't any offensive tastes in the drink, which made it better than expected. The boba is surprisingly good. The pearls are smooth spheres and exhibit both very good chew and bounce, but don't seem to be soaked that much in syrup. They are perhaps a bit firmer than perfect, but are pleasant to chew on. The amount of boba they serve in a cup isn't enough for the entire drink - with about a quarter of the drink left, the boba was all gone. While the drink has some issues, the value for $3 really can't be beat. I think this is the cheapest boba I've gotten in the US ever. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 I walked into Oasis Tea Zone with apprehension, but came out very pleasantly surprised. I would stop by again, happy hour or otherwise, whenever I visit downtown Edmonds. Note: Oasis Tea Zone charges a 3% fee for credit cards Edit: I visited again, ordering the same drink. This time, the drink seems to be more heavily leaning towards the creamer, leaving the taste of the tea in the dust. In addition, there's a bit of a strange coffee-ish taste and the boba is much more firm than previous. This is more of a 3* drink rather than 4*. Still leaving the review as a 4, but it seems there might be consistency issues. Then again, the drink is only $3 before tax/tip, a value that can't be beaten.
