    The moo bar
    Tiffany T.

    It's a small cafe with lots of anime themed cups and decor. There's a small counter to enjoy your drink or food but during the time I went at least, it was too hot with only a fan to try to manage the temp. You order via kiosk and it takes quite a while for the drinks and waffles to be made. The moo bar special with pandan cream - Way too sweet and taste off even though i already got less sweet. You don't really taste the tea either. The pandan didnt really have flavor either. Even the boba was not great, too sweet. I couldn't finish it 0.5/5 Pandan waffle - This is made to order so it takes a bit but this was fine waiting for! It had a very nice crispy outside and fluffy inside. not strong pandan flavor but the coconut sea salt cream was also very yummy. 2.75/5

    I've been wanting to try a banana pudding matcha for months now and was dawn in by the signs outside the shop. You order your drink yourself on a kiosk. They had other cool matcha creations like Mango Sticky rice and Crème brûlée, as well as an assortment of boba and coffee drinks . The drink was pretty, but I honestly didn't enjoy drinking it, so I didn't finish it. There was a scoop of banana pudding on top along with a crumbly topping, but otherwise I didn't detect any banana flavor in the actual drink and the matcha seemed watered down. I think their thing is the collectible jars, but I am a dish minimalist and I think I would've preferred an option to just get my drink in a recyclable/compostable cup versus being stuck with a cartoon jar. Overall, I wouldn't return here.

    Still enjoy this spot! I do still wish they had an option for non-glass jars. Something disposable I could choose when I'm not out and about. The drinks are always good though perhaps sweeter than we indicated and it was very festive inside with a giant holiday tree and decor. Server was efficient at making drinks. The winter designs are cute!

    Boba milk tea

    I had this place bookmarked, and since I was in town, I had to try it just because they served their drinks in mason jars with cool designs. I got a boba milk tea for me and a strawberry lemonade for the kids. I wished the strawberry lemonade also came in a mason jar because we added boba and you can't fit a boba straw in the strawberry cup, so we either had to take the lid off to use the boba straw, which is a bad idea for with a 5 and 7 year old who were drinking this while walking. We settled on them just eating the boba after they finished the drink. The boba milk tea is ok. Nothing to write home about, but the novelty of the mason jars is still cool. That alone, makes it worth at least that first visit.

    i love moo bar! it's always so exciting to hope for the cup that you want and then see which one you end up getting like a blind box. I got the Matcha latte and it was on the not-too-creamy side, which makes sense because they use real milk. delicious! Service is decently fast and the cafe itself is extremely cute to take pictures in if not a little bit warm during the summer. so many adorable photoshoots have come out of this location already and I'm looking forward to going back for more!

    Small cozy cafe that serves unique boba drinks in cute reusable anime themed mason jars! The main reason to come here are the mason jars. You get a random one automatically with a drink and the designs are always super cute. Some of them are from animes and some of them are unique designs, and they're constantly changing with the season so there's always something different. The drinks themselves are ok but nothing too special. Every time I come there's a new item on the menu and everything I've gotten is very picturesque. I like that they're not too sweet but the actual flavor is pretty standard. If you're looking for a place to get nice instagram pics, definitely recommend trying this place out. If you want good milk tea, then maybe go somewhere else.

    Raindrop cake and dubai strawberry skewers

    I just came for their raindrop cake and dubai strawberries. I liked the cake, it comes with a brown sugar type syrup and some brown powder I didn't use. It was nice and refreshing. The chocolate was overpowering in the strawberry skewers. I didn't order a drink, will update once I have. Also the staff is nice. The use a kiosk ordering system which I love. The seating is not very comfortable but it is a small space so that's a given.

    Raindrop Cake
    Vic A.

    So good! And such a treat! The options are great and what's best is the raindrop cake. Ugh soooo good! And this is a one of a kind, no other place in Seattle offers it. Their jars are toooo cute and reusable. The decor is small, simple and fun. The service is quick. The only downside is the parking. There is very limited street parking as this location is on a very busy street and weird intersection.

    An amazing place to get all types of desserts and drinks. Everything that I ordered was perfect, not too sweet and lots of flavor. The place was so good that I didn't really have a favorite, the drinks are so pretty looking especially their new Labubu drink. Their Dubai series was unique and very good too. Overall, super friendly service, I highly recommend and would come back.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #75 There's a surprising lack of boba spots in SLU, with The Moo Bar being one of currently three places. I've been to plenty of Happy Lemon locations, and I'm on a self-imposed Heytea boycott, so The Moo Bar was the only choice the last time I was in the area. As most other reviews mention, this place is apparently famous for the jars they serve their drinks in. I didn't know this going in, but it's certainly an interesting gimmick. I expected to have to pay extra for the jar, but a preselected one is actually included in the drink price. It does cost an extra $5 to choose a different design. They have a kiosk in front for easy ordering. I don't really care about service, but I do have to mention that there was only one employee in the store and I had to yell to get his attention to ask a question. Four Season Black Tea, 50% Sugar, Light Ice, Today's Bottle, House Milk w/ Honey Boba ($7.25) - Interestingly a lot of lower ratings complain about the drinks being too watery with no flavor. Maybe they are typically worse, but I found my drink to be quite pleasant, with a somewhat malty tea flavor mixed well with house milk (a non-dairy creamer) that doesn't overwhelm. The sweetness at half is nice. I don't know why they call this a Four Season tea though - that's a type of oolong with a very distinctive fragrance and this drink doesn't exhibit that flavor at all. The boba is surprisingly good. The pearls are a bit on the larger side and more craggly in surface texture vs. smooth, but they are pretty good in both chew and bounce, albeit just slightly on the firmer side. They have a brown sugar kind of taste on the exterior, puzzling given that they call it a honey boba. I guess they just mislabel stuff here or use only a small amount of honey in the soak? Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Hong Kong Milk Tea, Today's Bottle w/ Honey Boba ($7.50) - There are no ice/sugar adjustments for this drink allowed. This drink is definitely much weaker than the other drink. There's far too much condensed milk added, making the drink extremely milky to the detriment of the tea. There's still a bit of the astringent kick coming towards the aftertaste, but it's nothing like a properly made HK-style milk tea. I wouldn't get this drink again. Milk Tea Rating: 2/5 Given all the negative reviews for this place, I have to wonder if I maybe just visited during one of their very few good days... I guess I will have to revisit and report back. Note: The Moo Bar's payment processor charges a large service fee (something around 6%). When I saw my receipt I was almost going to drop my rating to 1 star, but I guess this isn't really their fault. I do find it very suspicious that it isn't broken up and instead is lumped into "taxes and other." That should be illegal.

    Raindrop Cake
    Georgina N.

    I really wanted to like this place because it was so cute inside and used reusable cups. Sadly the ube drink with coconut milk we ordered was one of the worst bobas I have ever had in my life, I couldn't finish it -3/10. No flavor at all, it litrally tasted like water flavored milk. The rain drop cake was yummy and service was fine. We can at 7 and all the seating had been put away. You order thru the kiosk so can't rly review the service but the drink/dessert came out fast.

    Lychee Dragonfruit
    Smaly K.

    Cute place with lots of cute cups. Unfortunately, the cups we liked the most were all sold out. To choose our own cups instead of having their chosen ones for that day, it was an extra $5. But my bf really wanted the ninja corgi cups, so we paid an additional $10 total for our two drinks. He got the Oreo milkshake and I got the Lychee Dragonfruit Tea and added strawberry bits and tapioca. Both drinks were tasty and the texture of the tapioca was good. Service was friendly. Would want to go back to try more.

    We were recommended this spot cause of their iconic mason jars. The drinks themselves were mediocre but the mugs made it worth it. We got a jasmine milk tea drink which was very light in flavor and a mango puree drink which was pretty good but a tad bit too sweet. Overall I see myself going to spot more for the mugs and less so for the drinks.

    Hi, do all of their drinks come in their glass jars now? I've visited in the past and been given a plastic recyclable cup? :(

    They paused the "bring back your glass cup for a discount" and plastic cup option during COVID restrictions.

    Can you buy the glass containers without buying the boba?

    Yes

    How much each drink? Like one Jasmine milk tea?

    Drinks average around $6-7

    Do they have Non-Dairy/vegan milk options?

    Their homemade Moo milk/cream is non-dairy, vegan friendly, and lactose and gluten free.

    Any decaf boba tea options?

    Yes, their seasonal herbal teas are delicious! My fav is rose lychee, yummmm

    Is their boba sweetened with brown sugar or honey?

    Both

She had wanted to visit for a long time after hearing so many good things about it, so this was the perfect opportunity. The café itself is bright, modern, and absolutely adorable. It has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax over dessert with family or friends. The menu is a dream for matcha and hojicha lovers. They offer an impressive variety of parfaits, floats, frappes, and lattes, with optional additions like mochi and red beans. It took us a while to decide because everything looked tempting. My daughter and I shared the Hojicha Mochi Parfait, while my son ordered the Hojicha Float with mochi. The parfait had a rich, authentic hojicha flavor and was generously layered with chewy mochi, crunchy cereal flakes, and creamy soft serve, giving it a wonderful mix of textures. The float was equally enjoyable, with a bold roasted hojicha flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and the mochi was a fun addition. The quality of the desserts was excellent, and while the prices are on the higher side, they reflect the quality of the ingredients and presentation. If you're a fan of matcha or hojicha, this is definitely a place worth visiting.
