    I've been once before this last visit (hence the 2 star). It's the closest boba shop near Pike Place Market, so I skipped Salt & Straw and went here. Walked in and there was no one at the front. But there is a kiosk to order. The place is so hot, a few mins in and I'm sweating and there's barely any fresh air to breathe. After ordering $30 worth of boba. Someone finally comes up and starts making our drink. I get my drink and it looks really wrong, I had added foam to my drink (which costed extra) and it's just plain and clear. I walk out debating if I should say something. Sip my drink and it's bland and the boba itself has no flavor. I walk back and nicely ask about the missing foam. He takes it back and makes me a new one. It's not great the second time around either. Someone else's drink had more fillings than the actual drink. A couple of us take a loss and toss our drinks. Most likely will not be going again.

    Ordered Grapefruit Green Tea with Lychee Boba. Very refreshing and not too sweet. Good tea flavor too. Great for an afternoon treat after a long day.

    Tried the Strawberry Mochi drink at Tiger Sugar, and it was incredible! Perfect balance of fresh strawberry flavor and rich milk, plus the soft, chewy mochi texture was amazing. Highly recommend!

    It's across the street from Target near the entrance of Pike Place. I ordered the top selling Brown Sugar with Cream mousse and well... I placed my order on a kiosk and very quickly got my order. Unfortunately, it's not brown sugar boba, it's unflavored cooked boba and mini boba. It's barely even milk tea, I don't taste the tea or even the brown sugar. For 7$ I can't see myself coming back to this location.

    We both got Thai Tea, half sweet, and oh did it hit! Word on the street is there is a view you can't miss while you're around. Not to mention the claw machine games being a really cool addition while you're waiting for Boba. Had a great time, will be back.

    One of my favorite places to get Boba in Seattle. The cake that I ordered was amazing! Service here was really good, the place isn't too sweet which I actually enjoyed it and they're still a decent balance between the tea and milky taste. I highly recommend and would come back.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

If you can find parking in the Cap Hill area I would definitely consider this as an option for a sweet treat. I think the prices are really reasonable considering some of the other options. Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

Their fried chicken sandwiches are also excellent and very filling - they are $11-15. The seasonal sandwich right now is the southern bird, which is my favorite.

One night, after a dinner nearby, I went here to try the soft serve. It was absolutely phenomenal. The choice of flavors isn't much, but the amount and variety of toppings is awesome. I went with the vanilla and chocolate swirl, with butterscotch hard shell and reese's pieces. Firstly, the texture was so smooth and creamy. It had a great mix of both flavors, and was at the perfect temperature. But the toppings are really what makes this. Hard shell is not something you find often, but being able to break this butterscotch and eat the crunchiness along with the melting ice cream was amazing. The excessive amount of reese's pieces added saltiness and even more texture to the overall thing. It was just wonderful overall. Given that, I was really excited to get the fried chicken sandwich, which I did a week later. Unfortunately, it was really bad. I was just confused at first. How could things have gone so wrong here. I'd heard a lot of good things about the fried chicken sandwich. Yet no amount of online reviews could rescue the reality that was in my hands. The chicken was just awful. There was a ton of breading, practically thicker than the chicken itself. But somehow it just failed to be crunchy - it just felt soggy with every bite. Over-breaded chicken is never a great sign, and the inside was terrible - barely even tasting like chicken. It was super overcooked; no juice at all. The fried chicken piece was also super thin compared to how large the buns were. Just nothing worked on this sandwich at all - including the excessive amount of mayo. It's one of the worst fried chicken sandwiches I've had. Price-wise, the chicken sandwich is actually not too expensive at around $11. The soft serve is about half that, but at a pretty good portion. It's tough for me to come up with an overall rating because the soft serve was so good, followed by a mind-bogglingly bad sandwich. I guess I'd only recommend you come here for dessert. 6.5/10

I honestly didn't realize this was a window shop. We walked into the neighboring restaurant thinking it was attached. Once we figured out it was outside and a window it was easy to navigate.

I went with the Hokkaido milk flavor because I wanted to see if i could taste the difference. First bite it was really milky tasting but the smoothest creamiest ice cream ive ever eaten. The more you eat the more you start to notice a subtle difference. To me it was unique and very enjoyable. I would definitely want to stop by and try other flavors next time im in town.

Despite the wait, I have to say yes. This soft serve was incredible. The soft serve on tap is the Japanese-style, with their default flavor being the Hokkaido milk flavor. Having had Hokkaido-style soft serve in Japan earlier this year, I was quite interested to see how it compares. And I'm very happy to say this essentially matches up to the version that I had. This texture is just awesome. It's unbelievably smooth and creamy - feels like there should be another word other than soft to describe how silky tender each scoop feels. It's super light on the sweetness, but strong on the milk flavor. It's the kind of soft serve that makes you think you just ate something healthy. Maybe the one thing keeping this from a higher score is the lack of repeatability. With a very limited menu of flavors and toppings, I don't think I would come back here as I've already tried the reason I was here. But it's still great regardless. Also for 5 bucks, the price is relatively cheap for a kid's size. This really ranks up there as one of the top soft serves in the city. 8.75/10
