I was so excited when I saw TP tea open up in UDistrict! In my opinion, they have the best milk tea. I've tried some other drinks, such as smoothies, and do not care for them. I always go for the Tie GuanYin (which is what they are famous for) milk tea. Their milk tea is good because the tea itself is so fragrant. I imagine their plain tea is delicious but I don't get bubble tea for plain tea personally. Anyways, the downside with their drinks are that they are SWEET. 25% sweetness is equivalent to a 75% or 100% elsewhere so be prepared! However the milk is so creamy and so unique to this spot. There is no place that does a milk tea that tastes similar to here. As someone who must get boba, I usually do get the boba but I'll be the first to say their boba is flavorless and I don't particularly enjoy it here. When they have the QQ noodle though, I definitely opt for that instead or get both if I'm feeling indulgent. I haven't seen QQ noodle offered elsewhere so it feels special to here. Aside from the first opening week, this location doesn't seem overly busy and is pretty speedy. I'm a huge fan! read more

Hands down the best boba place in town. If you like your your milk team with a lot of toppings, get the 3Q TP tea (comes with 3 types of toppings). That's what I always get while waiting for my takeout from the A+ Hong Kong restaurant next door. Because all the toppings are already sweet, I recommend getting 30% sugar ( I usually get half sugar at other boba places) or no sugar if you normally don't like it that sweet. read more

TP Tea is one of my favorite Taiwanese boba chains and I love that there are two locations in Seattle! The U District location is pretty small, so it isn't a place to really hang out at and is more of a grab and go. They are off the main street so parking a tiny bit easier by them. I've tried a few of their drinks, which were all pretty standard and good, but the best part is all of their unique toppings! My favorites are the tea jelly and QQ noodle. They are must try's in my opinion! read more

2.5 stars Strolling around U District and stumbled upon TP Tea. Interior is very clean and cute but there is no proper seating which wasn't ideal. I got the classic milk tea boba with 50% sugar so I could get a baseline taste of TP Tea. It came out to $6.21 with tax. I was honestly disappointed. The drink was just so bland. Boba had absolutely no flavor and the tea itself tasted very watered down. Won't be coming back read more

Great job on the mango tea latte, the 80% sweetness was a nice touch but maybe dialing it back a bit would make it even better. And I love their crema green tea is my go-to drink, it's a classic choice. Keep it up TP tea read more

TP Tea - Mango tea latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Apparently famed with being the ones who "created" bubble tea... What separates this place is consistency. All drinks you get will be pretty much the same each time which is unheard of. Different worker = different drink, or going different days of the week = different drink at almost all places (even food). They got it down pat here which is A1. Strawberry Milk Tea 0% sugar = 5/5 esp if you let the ice melt after 5 min Tieguanyin latte = 5/5 (Not many places have this tea) TP milk Tea = 5/5 cause this is their oolong milk tea :) read more

I usually don't mind tptea drinks, I really like their green tea latte with aloe jelly. Their drinks aren't small but today I ordered the green tea yakult and it's the worst drink I've gotten. So hard for places to make a good yakult drink. But this one tastes like straight throw up, I could barely even handle one drink. I won't lower the rating for the store because of one drink but it just feels like a waste of money lol read more

TP Tea - Green tea yakult - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Definitely my favorite boba spot in UDistrict. Cons are that the store is really tiny (no seating area at all) so everything must be taken to go. Kind of a shame because I love getting boba and sitting down to study instead of coffee which does honestly deter me from going sometimes. But other than that, it is consistently so good. Like others have mentioned, prices are a bit high and there is a small card fee under like $9-10 or something, but the taste is worth it. My favorite toppings to get are the golden jelly and QQ noodle. read more

they took wayyyyy too long and seems to hand them out only when they have 10-15 orders on the pickup section, i waited for a long time and i dont recommend if people dont have free an hour to spend on waiting for a drink, the drink was okay, id prefer going to the one in chinatown with better and quicker service read more

Man, these UW Students are getting spoiled on the daily! TP Tea is my favorite boba spot in Seattle at the moment and I'm so jealous that they didn't have quality boba spots like TP Tea and Don't Yell At Me Their signature drink is the TieGuanYin Tea Latte and it's my favorite drink as well. It's like a regular black milk tea except creamier and maltier BRB while I consider doing grad school at UW to be spoiled by all these great food and drink spots opening on the Ave now read more

This is my favorite boba/ tea place. They always have seasonal drinks that surprise you and they are so good! read more

Best Boba in Seattle if you're asking me. They're always quick, even when there's a line and the tea is always spot on.

Best boba place in Seattle! My favorite drink is the winter melon tea crema. I've never find this drink in any other boba places. Absolutely recommend. read more

They had the worst customer service and misleading order. I told them the pic was leading and I didn't like my order since the nostalgic tea was pink in pic, so I thought it was strawberry, but it was not strawberry, they wouldn't change the order for me. read more

I had never had Boba tea before and my coworker insisted I try it. She told me that TP Tea is the best and, although this is my first time trying it, I have to say that I will be coming back to TP Tea again whenever I am having a craving. It is delicious. I got the milk tea with tapioca pearls, 80% sugar and it is amazing. I can't believe I waited this long to try it. I am now a huge fan. read more

One of my favourite tea place in Seattle! Hard to find parking nearby but defiantly worth the trip here! This one is smaller and slightly less busier than the TP Tea in international district read more

Love this place and the service was super fast and friendly. My drink was just right in flavor and it wasn't to packed inside.

The drinks weren't bad, but I'd prefer the ID location better. My boyfriend and I got a milk tea with boba and a honey green tea. The drinks weren't a problem but maybe the service here made us feel uncomfortable! My boyfriend and I entered the store and it was a bit packed with people inside waiting for their drink. As I was ordering, the cashier constantly cut me off and spoke over me before I can finish ordering. She seemed a bit impatient. And when we were waiting, I noticed that the person handing out drinks never checked customers receipts for their drink numbers. After all customers had left with their drinks, it was only my boyfriend and I in the store. They called our drink number and I went up to the counter, but the employee looked hesitant to give me the drink. She asked if these are my drinks twice and I said yes, then she asked to see my receipt then gave it to me. I wouldn't say it was bad service but it made us feel weird. read more

My fave milk tea in all of Seattle and they now have their new location open in U -district! We usually get their signature milk tea and/or Guanyin milk tea, and sometimes their Crema milk teas, all of which are amazing! I recommend getting 100% sugar (which is also what they recommend). Definitely try this place out if you haven't yet. Parking is limited to the "Ave" as there is no parking lot nearby. read more

I wish I could give half-stars! I'd give this location a 3.5/5 stars. I go to the International District location all the time and always get the same drink: F3, Crema TieGuanYin Tea with boba. I tried it at this location, and it tasted slightly more roasty and watery. Roasty, I'm fine with. Watery, I am not. Everything else seemed the same. The line wasn't long when I went, and I didn't wait too long for my drink after ordering (a Sunday evening) read more

Second favorite milk tea spot along with Sharetea. I usually get Sharetea because it's more accessible to me but when I have a chance to pass by TP, I never not order something read more

One of the best boba I've ever tasted. 3Q boba is highly recommended, the flavors are just right. I go here every week

These fruit cremas are so pretty to look at and they taste so good! It might be one of my new favorite boba drinks. The store is veeeeerry small and I waited around 30 mins for these two drinks, and they were like $7 for 1 after tip but worth read more

TP Tea - Crema mango tea and crema strawberry tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I got the Green Tea with 30% sweetener and it was undrinkable. Tasted like straight dish soap like they put the tea in its container right after washing it. Disgusting read more

Great experience here! Very fast service, reasonable pricing, uses fresh ingredients (I got the Mango slush w/ pearls), has oat milk as an alternative that adds sweetness, can modify sugar levels (I did zero) and ice levels. I wish I had one of these places closer to my commute. There's so many drink options that actually look really pretty, they seem to specialize in cheese creama topped drinks. I typically don't go for slush drinks and rather opt for milk teas with dairy alternatives. But I got the slush this time since I didn't know what to get and was blown away at how good it was! read more

I love the tea here. It has a strong flavor. I got a crema strawberry tea with qq noodle, golden jelly, and tea jelly. I know it's a strange combination, but I like to experiment with my boba tea. Lol. I also had the opportunity to try various other milk teas such as winter melon and other well known recommendations. I highly recommend the winter melon milk tea or any other of the tea leaf type teas. There's a strong taste that is often not found in boba. Overall I love this place for their drinks so far. Highly recommend for boba enthusiasts. You won't regret it. It's also a popular place from all the customers I see going into their establishment. Service was alright. I enjoyed the brunette at the counter for friendly service. Everyone else working there didn't really care one way or another. Ambiance is fine. No bathrooms, it's a one way stop. Just a bench. You get your drink and go. No parking. Just gotta find it. I recommend walking here. read more

Stumbled upon this shop after getting off the bus stop right in front of it. This store is always busy with customers and seems to be a popular destination in University District. I got the green tea latte with pearls, 50% sweet. The sweetness was on the lighter side, so maybe 75% would have been more preferred. Tea flavor was great, and the pearls are on the smaller side. read more

Came here and ordered 1 regular milk tea and paid like $7 . $7 for a cup of artificial ingredients , .

Drinks are good but never, ever able to get a hold of anyone via phone. Finally asked if they have a phone and they don't, so please remove that false idea that I can get a hold of someone if needed for an order issue or clarification read more

I love the strawberry milk tea but it's not on the DoorDash menu so I can only get it when I happen to be in the area. Please expand the DoorDash menu and include the strawberry milk tea! read more

can't withstand the bad attitude and blaming to customer. You need to follow the comment, especially about pick up time, to make sure not only the beverage but also the service is great:) read more

This is my fav boba spot in UDistrict. The Creama Green Tea is really good!!!!!!!!!!!

Drink are not as consistent as the Chinatown location. Sometimes it's watery, sometimes they make a wrong drink lol. I'm going to cut some slack because they just opened and are probably still training their employee. But I do think they need to improve their interactions with customers. Some employees don't give out friendly vibes and some just speak really quietly. That said, TP tea is pretty good and authentic in general read more
