    Boba+pearl milk mousse
    Nohemy F.

    I am visiting Seattle from out of state. I came to Tiger sugar for milk tea and they were so nice. I sat in the shop for a while and was told I could stay for as long as I wanted. This place is a must try! They have pretty cold things around the shop as well. 10/10!

    Got here at noon and was the third in line. Ordered from the kiosk and waited for about three minutes before I got my drink. Friendly staff! Black Sugar Mochi Boba w/o Cheese Cream 4/5: The boba is a bit too hard to chew. A little too sweet. Love the mochi though! Passion Fruit Oolong Tea w/Jelly 4/5: Adjusted the sweetness to 75% but still a little too sweet for my liking. Other than that, love the combo!

    I find that Tiger Sugar locations normally serve above average boba, usually around a 4 out of 5. Since they mainly focus on milk based black sugar drinks, their milk teas suffer a little bit, making my preference to peruse other boba shops unless Tiger Sugar is convenient to visit. This was the case the last time I was near Westlake for lunch - Tiger Sugar is one of only two boba shops in that area, so I made it priority to visit after eating. T5 Black Sugar Boba Black Tea Latte with Cream Mousse, 50% Sweet, Less Ice, XL, Lactaid ($7.70) - This milk tea has a surprisingly strong black tea flavor. It's kind of a generic tea fannings Lipton-esque kind of flavor, but it's pleasingly strong in a drink that Tiger Sugar usually inundates with milk and sugar. They don't add too much milk in the drink, just a small splash on top, making the drink much darker in color than what I've received in the past. I guess this location has a different recipe compared to other Tiger Sugars? I did see the bobarista hand add the black sugar syrup, which could make the drinks rather inconsistent between visits. The sweetness level is a bit too high for me at half and would probably opt for 25% next time. The ice level at half is pretty good. The boba is also surprisingly good. Again, I've found other Tiger Sugar locations usually serve a 4/5 boba, with the boba being typically too soft. This one compresses easily on the tongue, but bounces back into a sphere immediately afterwards. It starts firming up a bit more after five or ten minutes in the drink which allows the chewy bounce to really shine. The pearls have a bit of a velvety exterior layer, indicative of a sugar soak, and display a slight level of sweetness. The sizing is a little inconsistent for some reason. Most of the pearls are standard Tiger Sugar size (e.g. a bit larger than the typical tapioca ball), but some pieces seemed to be a little shrunken. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 This is a surprisingly solid Tiger Sugar for milk tea. Usually I have to stick with the black sugar milk drinks, but I would actually return here for the milk tea. Note: Tiger Sugar charges 35 cents service charge for kiosk orders Bathrooms - None

    Great place to have boba drink nd pasteries with cute ambience and great service. I like pistachio pastry and brown sugar boba drink. So rich in flavor and great taste

    Came by for boba for the first time on Saturday around 1 PM. The shop itself was quite small (and no AC) and there were two other people in line before me. But there are several self order kiosks and the cashier was really efficient so I was quickly able to get in my order and get my drink! There is a counter but no seats, so naturally, took my boba to go. I got the #1, a brown sugar milk tea with boba, pearls, and jelly with a cream mousse with less ice. The toppings were nice and warm (I prefer this) and the drink looked great. The way the toppings were cooked were soft and quite flavorful, a texture I prefer. The numerous toppings allows for several different sizes and textures. The drink tasted great, a mild tea flavor, with brown sugar syrup adding a good amount of sweetness. I will be back!

    Came to Seattle today and tried this spot -- their mango pomelo sago is seriously so good Highly recommend giving it a try! There's also a parking lot right next door, super convenient.

    My best friend was raving about Tiger Sugar when they first opened in Seattle five or so years ago. It is located on 2nd Ave, which is slightly out of the way unless you're going to Pikes Place Market area. Tiger Sugar is known for their black sugar milk drinks and so I ordered their number one most popular drink, BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL MILK WITH CREAM MOUSSE ($6.30 plus tax for L, $7.90 plus tax for XL). My companion ordered their BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL COFFEE LATTE WITH CREAM MOUSSE ($6.55 plus tax for L, $8.15 plus tax for XL). Their drinks are evidently pricey, but at least they include boba in the price. Note that you can't adjust the sweetness level of their black sugar drinks, but you can adjust the ice level. Their BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL MILK WITH CREAM MOUSSE was very Instaworthy, with black sugar just oozing down the inside of the cup and creating a beautiful gradient effect with the milk (I get why it's called Tiger Sugar now). They have a cute sign inside with a tiger shaking their drink; it has the caption "Shake 15 Times"- why 15 times, I'm not sure. But I paid over $8 for my drink and so I shook it 15 times as directed. I took a sip and was surprised by the creaminess of the milk and the maltiness of the black sugar. The boba was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of chew and the mousse was just a nice tough on top. Coming from someone who has probably had over 100 different bubble tea drinks in my life, this drink was unlike any other boba I've ever had. I get the hype. My only qualm, is that I wish that they had a black sugar option with black milk tea, but this drink almost made me not miss the tea. I tried a sip of my companion's BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL COFFEE LATTE WITH CREAM MOUSSE and it was decent. It reminded me of a Vietnamese coffee, but maltier and more dark caramel tasting from the black sugar. Service was good. You order at the kiosk (or at the register) and they call out your name when it's ready. With a few parties ahead of us, it ook about 10 minutes to get our drink after ordering. Note that the indoor seating is quite limited and so most people take it to go. Parking can also be difficult, but there is a garage right next door. Overall: 5/5 for boba, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

    I stopped here after a dental appointment as it makes hanging out in downtown and having to go to the dentist a little better. I'm usually hesitant to go to boba places where you can't adjust the amount of sugar (most places are too sugary for me), but Tiger Sugar is really good and so far, the best boba spot in Seattle (sadly, I think most boba options in Seattle are pretty meh). I think the ice level is also not customizable, but that's okay with me. Level of sweetness, ice, cream, milk and tea was balanced. The boba was a little soft but it was also warm and fresh. I've tried the brown sugar boba at other Tiger Sugar locations, and it's pretty good, as it is their number one flavor. Here, I had the taro flavor and I think it is even better. This is a small location, and there is no seating here, as this is takeout only. You order from a kiosk and boba comes out within five minutes - staff is also friendly and fast.

    The drinks here are really really good!!!!! We stumbled across this boba spot after visiting the Pike Place Market which was only a few blocks away and very happy we did! We ordered a #1 and a #5 and damn those drinks were delicious!!! Our drinks came out very quick within 5 mins and the worker was very helpful. It's a very small shop and don't have any seating areas which is fine for the area it's in and also very clean place! I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious boba and make sure to try either the #1 or the #5!!

    1. Signature - Black Sugar Boba and Pearl Milk with Cream Mousse
    Maggie L.

    Be warned, street parking only and it was not easy. It was my first time trying Tiger Sugar in Washington (previously had it in Vancouver and California). The store is petite. I ordered on the kiosk, and got my drink in about 5 minutes. It's been a while since I had this, so I went with #1, their signature Black Sugar Boba and Pearl Milk with Cream Mousse. I gave it 4/5. I liked the idea of small and large boba in one drink (different textures), but the small boba was way to soft and didn't have much chew. The large boba was really good, the perfect texture, sweet and chewy. Next time I want to try the one with boba and pudding!

    This place can be a little hard to find. It's like tucked in an alleyway entrance. I swear the only reason why I keep coming back to Tiger Sugar is like Starbucks, they utilize an app that you can order your drinks ahead and get reward points. Another reason why I like coming here is because this is the only boba spot that I know of that serves hot boba drinks in downtown Seattle. Also +1000 points for having so many milk substitution! As a lactose intolerant, I absolutely love it! I normally order my drinks with Lactaid. They have collaboration with Hello Kitty and all their drinks are served in these extremely cute Hello Kitty cups. They recently launched their newest addition and it's the jumbo sized boba. I've tried it and honestly its just mehhhh... cuz the boba balls are too big to be sucked from a regular boba straw so you'll have to remove the lid of the drink and eat the jumbo balls with a spoon. What's the point!? If you are new to Tiger Sugar, I suggest trying out what they are known for, their black sugar boba drinks (drinks 1-5). Everyone that I've introduced it to loved it! I personally love their Black Sugar Tea Latte with Cream Mousse drinks (T5 & T7) The whole place is decorated with cute tiger stuffed animals. Everyone who works there are super friendly and super fast in making the drinks!

    Been meaning to try Tiger Sugar and finally came around to it when the Hello Kitty collab was released. My sister and I both ordered the Hello Kitty Crush (sweet strawberry flavor chip, milk cream, and boba pearls). It was good, but I have never tried Tiger Sugar beforehand. So, it is hard to say how their traditional drinks are in comparison to this special drink. There is not parking at this location given it is nearby Pike Place Market. I would not go out of my way to come here unless I plan on being around the area. The shop itself is pretty small, little to no seating inside. Definitely a place to order and take it outside or elsewhere.

    I had a craving for boba today, so I decided to make the trip to downtown Seattle to try Tiger Sugar. I completely forgot they opened a location here! Finding parking took me a solid 30 minutes since the garage next door was closed, so I had to circle around multiple times before I found a spot. Once inside, I noticed the place was pretty small, and the décor was a bit underwhelming--it could've been better. I ordered the Black Sugar Boba + Pudding Milk with Cream Mousse, and wow, the pudding was incredible! The best part was that the drink wasn't overly sweet like most places. That said, it was the priciest boba I've ever had--$10.18!

The mixed berry bingsu was my fave! The berries were fresh but the best part was the ice cream! Super flavorful and I loved the fruit syrup too. For both, the bingsu itself is very light in flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth and pairs well with the toppings, especially that sweetened condensed milk. I hope to come back to try other items soon!!
