I came across this TP Tea store in Seattle Chinatown, my first time trying their drinks. This store was 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. read more

I haven't been here in a while and was craving boba while in Chinatown so I stopped by! I love their drinks and the texture of the boba. You really can't go wrong with any of the drinks but my all time favorites are the tieguanyin oolong milk tea with toppings and the strawberry milk tea, which I believe they have now rebranded to strawberry smoothie. Sugar is adjustable which is great because I love my drinks less sweet. I got the strawberry smoothie and bff milk tea this time, which I believe is black milk tea with egg pudding and grass jelly, and I added egg pudding. So delicious and creamy, and the smoothie does not give off an artificial fruit taste. One thing that was off-putting to me was the signage indicating their kiosk. The makeshift, handwritten message to turn around and use the kiosk seems passive aggressive and gives off the message that the workers do not want to talk to you. Other than that, we got our drinks pretty fast since it wasn't busy near closing, which was when I went. read more

TP TEA @ SEATTLE Parking is street-only since it's located in downtown, so it can be a little tricky to find a spot. I'd recommend using a rideshare or public transportation if possible, though you can usually find street parking if you're patient. I had never heard of this place before, but I really wanted to try it since it was pretty busy, especially for a weekend. Plus, it's Seattle, always raining, so of course I was craving a black milk tea with boba. I ordered it with light ice, and it came out to about $6, which is pretty standard pricing for bubble tea in Seattle and throughout Washington. The flavor was amazing and tasted really fresh. The staff was super friendly, and the service was great. I also loved the ambiance of the space. There are plenty of tables to sit at, along with high tables where you can stand and look outside. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend stopping by. I've also been to their other locations in San Diego, where I go to school, and I absolutely love their lychee drinks. If you're more into fruity teas, I'd definitely recommend trying one of those options. read more

TP Tea - A6. QQ TP Milk Tea 特級雙Q奶茶 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent. I find ordering a bit intimidating as a newbie. I got black tea, 50% sugar and less ice so it wouldn't be diluted. Refreshing.

I ordered ONE pkg of tea received and then kept receiving shipments over and over again which they would not stop - I reported fraud to my credit card company as after a dozen emails telling them to stop, returning unopened pkg I kept getting notifications that more was being sent - BIG MISTAKE Ordering anything from them and I discovered they are not members of BEtter business bureau and there is no phone number or address that works - they use a weird delivery service UNIUNi which you cannot refuse and return to sender! Terrible company read more

I've tried most of the taro options here and the Treasure Taro pudding is my favorite. I ordered it half sweet and less ice. The taro chunks are so fresh and not too sweet and the aftertaste of the tea is very pleasant and aromatic. Don't shake this one because the taro would just dilute and you won't be able to appreciate the taro as much. There is a plethora of boba options in Chinatown but TP tea so far has the best tasting tea and taro options. My only gripe is that this place is quite small and there's very little place to sit and enjoy. The service is fast, not always a smile because they are so busy all the time but nonetheless good quality tasting tea. read more

Overall: This is now one of my favorite bubble tea places. The drinks just taste good and the service is fast. A good experience every time. Food: The drinks here are all hits, I've tried several drinks and I haven't found one I wasn't happy with. The tea flavor comes through well and none of them are too sweet. Service: There is usually a long wait for this place, but they work very fast behind the counter, so your drinks are usually ready fast. Ambiance: Since it is a busy area I wouldn't necessary suggest hanging out here unless you're coming at a less busy time. There is very few seating, but usually people come and go. read more

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 What I ordered: I ordered a milk tea and tried one of their specialty toppings, the QQ noodles. Highlights: TP Tea has a large drink menu with lots of options, including some interesting and less common toppings. I was curious about the QQ noodles and found them fun to eat. The drinks themselves are solid and well made, and the menu offers something for both classic and adventurous boba drinkers. What fell short: The texture of the QQ noodles was inconsistent. Sometimes the topping was soft and chewy, while other times the center was still hard. Overall: TP Tea is a solid boba spot with a wide menu and creative toppings. With more consistency in toppings, it would be an easy go to. read more

been coming here for years and never had a bad drink. The lines can get long, but they're quick with it and they're always blasting some trendy kpop while you wait. I always bring out-of-state visiting friends here to grab drinks because the taste is always consistent. Their Taiwan classic milk tea is the best of both worlds--if you want to try a lot of toppings but keep an authentic tea flavor, that's the drink to get. If you're a fruit tea enthusiast, their extensive menu is creative and seasonal, so you won't get bored and you'll always get to try something new. I recommend following them on Instagram to see what seasonal drinks they offer every few months! read more

Good spot for boba! We came on a weekend and it was pretty busy, so we waited in line for a little bit. There's a lot of fun flavors and toppings for the drinks here. I got the mango pomelo sago drink. I wasn't able to adjust the sweetness on this drink, but it was made well and not too sweet. I liked all the different toppings mixed in! Only downside is that I felt like the drink was a little too pricy. I enjoyed it though and would come back here as a treat. read more

Great selection. I liked the different topping options. At 80%, my green tea latte was still really sweet, so heads up on that

First time trying TP Tea outside of California. I decided to try the passion fruit slush (normally I get passion fruit green tea). It was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste bud. They gave a ton of boba, and it was weirdly foamy at the end of the drink. Some seating inside. Street parking only. read more

TP Tea always gets the boba consistency just right but their milk teas have very little tea flavor (for context, I usually drink my bubble tea with zero percent sugar, so it's very pronounced when it's lacking in tea flavor). The drinks are still made decently though compared to nearby spots, so this place is still my preference when I'm in the area. There's not a lot of seating area though and their low couches and coffee table are not very inviting, maybe by design, as this is more of a take-out spot. read more

I got the osmanthus tea with grass jelly which was very good and I'm very happy with mine. I came with a few friends and one of them got the strawberry milk tea but it was definitely more of a slushy texture. This is definitely a solid spot if you're in the area. read more

TP Tea - Osmanthus tea with grass jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place has the worst customer service I have ever experienced in America. I called 30 minutes before closing, was treated with absolute hostility, and hung up on. When I showed up, they refused to take my order while still serving others. To the management: Train your staff on basic human decency and professional etiquette. Customers are the ones paying your wages; we expect respect, not disrespect. If you close at 8:00 PM, you serve until 8:00 PM. Turning paying customers away before closing time while being incredibly rude about it is a terrible business model. You have lost a customer today, and I will ensure my friends and family know exactly how disrespectful this establishment is. read more

Many choices, very reasonable price, both toppings and tea taste very good. Efficient service.

TP Tea is one of my favorite boba spots in the greater Seattle area. You can really taste the tea flavor in their drinks. Parking can be tough since you're in the International District (Chinatown). There is a little bit of seating but I typically grab and go by boba from here. They have a unique topping of QQ noodles which is just tapioca in a string like form. Staff: nice (4/5) Sanitation status: (4/5) Taiwan Classic Milk Tea (5/5) I love the Taiwan classic because it has all my favorite toppings: boba, QQ noodles, and grass jelly. Their boba is typically pretty chewy but not overcooked. Strawberry Milk Tea (5/5) This is such a good drink for anyone that loves fruity drinks but also wants a milk tea. It is an ice blended drink but it doesn't really say that on the menu but they blend in strawberry sauce into the milk tea and it makes for such a unique drink where you can taste the flavor of the tea while taste the strawberry flavor as well. It can have some seeds in it if that's something you're not too fond of. read more

The mango in the mango pomelo sago is a bit sour, but since the sweetness level can't be adjusted, the overall taste doesn't come out too sweet. Still recommended. read more

Good quality tea with minimal topping options. I like that they keep it simple and you can change ice and sweetness levels. But it isn't the most ideal to wait in a long, narrow line where half of the people are coughing. If you order online for pickup, it's roughly $2 more. Seating is limited and it can be uncomfortably crowded when they're busy. There's a lot of people working on drinks (takes about 10-15 minutes) but no one willing to assist picking up your order, which requires a receipt. I had to yell at an employee to get serviced after she deliberately avoided me for over five minutes. Probably a much better boba shop for delivery, but too chaotic to walk in. read more

There are a lot of Boba shops in Seattle. This is one of my favorites. They have a wide array of drink options to choose from as well as seasonal drinks. One of those is a Brown Sugar Milk boba drink. I usually base a place by how good their version of a brown sugar milk is. Well they take the cake as the best one in Seattle in my opinion! Besides the great drinks, they are quick to get your drink to you which is impressive as they are always making so many at one time. Due to how busy they are they weren't super personable but that's understandable . I like how the shop look with the limited space available with some seating, a stand up counter/table and some cute wooden flower decorations. A good go to boba place! read more

After a few more times coming here, I can say with confidence..... the rating of 4 stars is solid. The drinks have been consistent. You will always get the same taste every time you come here. The service is definitely speeding up. I think the novelty of this place is gone and it's just normal business. The inside space is definitely not for sticking around, buy and go. I would like them to have some more interesting seasonal drinks that will surprise me for that 5 star. read more

Loves the flavor here! Definitely recommend ...if you can find parking and/or have someone go line up while you drive and drive and drive around looking for parking Yes, I'll be back at this place the next time I'm in town. One less star for the inconvenience of the location read more

No line on a Friday early afternoon. Per the reviews on here, we got the strawberry milk tea with pearls, which was really good! It was more of a slush than a tea consistency. The pearls were a great texture, and there were a generous amount of them. The 50% sugar was the perfect level of sweetness for us. Limited amount of indoor seating, more of a grab-and-go vibe. read more

I've always liked their most basic oolong milk tea a2 I think. It has the authentic oolong tea flavor and perfect balance of milk and sugar. The size is large for just $5. The complaint is that the service is always very slow and sometimes long lines. This time I stood there until everybody who came in after me had left, only to find out they forgot to work on my order...need improvement on that please read more

This is my second time going to TP Tea which we had gotten the 3Q drink first time around. It was a very interesting drink to try as it was filled with toppings.

Yummy boba! I like their modern interior and the amount of choices for their drinks. It's pretty good and they have a rotating selection of drinks based on the season. This season was taro and it was good. It gets crowded a bit but the staff don't fail to get the drinks out to you. read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

There's usually a line here during peak hours, and even sometimes on weekdays as I went here on a Monday lunchtime and many people were ordering drinks. The inside has one or two tables for seating, but otherwise is more of a place to come and go after getting your drinks. You order your drinks up front here, though be prepared to raise your voice as it's noisy in here from all the drink-making behind the counter. I usually come here for their Tieguanyin tea latte with grass jelly (highly, highly recommend), though I got the osmanthus tea latte with grass jelly for this visit. Taste is awesome as usual; the tea flavor is strong, though I was unable to change the sweetness on this drink. This is one of the milk tea places I make a beeline for if I ever want to satisfy my sweet cravings, and they've been relatively consistent in their quality since. Great recommend for here! read more

I knew from the start that my boba was going to be an absolute banger. The place was packed full of people, so fill that we had to wait like 20 minutes to get our boba, but it was totally worth it. I ordered the crema mulberry tea, which is in their top 7 apparently. It was probably one of the best bobas I've ever had. There was a strong citrusy flavor to it that I really enjoyed a lot and I can tell they used real fruit, because I munched on a bunch of the fruit skins down at the bottom towards the end haha. read more

I am a big fan of TP tea! It's one of my favorite boba shops in Chinatown because I think they do a fantastic job with brewing and blending their teas! Some of my favorite drinks are 3Q TP milk tea, strawberry smoothies, four season oolong, and any of their delightfully fresh fruit teas! Since I like my drinks to be on the less sweeter side, I always do 25-50% sweetness level which definitely does the job! There is some seating in the shop which is helpful for a quick chat or a place to sit while waiting for your drink. Their service is quick and friendly so I'm usually out the door quickly after my order is taken! All in all a solid boba shop with a lot of variety for drinks! Highly recommend when you're in Chinatown! read more

My colleagues from Taiwan know their boba tea shops. We walked around Chinatown after lunch and they picked the perfect spot for boba! I ordered the lemon premium green tea with tea jelly. One sip and I knew this was premium high quality Taiwanese tea. There's no cheap artificial tea flavors here, this is the real deal! If you've never tried tea jelly, then it's a must! I'm addicted! The shop was clean and service was quick. read more

Got the Taiwan Classic Milk Tea with Pearls, QQ Noodles, and Grass Jelly and it was amazing. Not too sweet like most other bubble tea places. The Pearls were very QQ and chewy and a hint of sweetness. The QQ Noodles were surprisingly fun to eat, they were like pearls but in noodle form. and the grass jelly was fresh and a nice change in texture. I like how all three toppings come with it. read more

Disappointed in my visit today: $8 wasted on a fresh (whole) milk boba with taro. The taro was gloppy at the bottom of the cup, filled too close to the rim. The cup, in turn, was not sealed well and leaked as I tried to "shake well" per employee's instructions. I should have returned the beverage and changed my order, but I still took the chance... Staff were just okay, not amicable, but not rude either. I really dislike seeing employees using their mobiles while customers are present. *OKAY health code score* (NOV 2024) violations include: EMPLOYEES NOT WASHING HANDS read more
