    This has become my favorite boba tea shop by far. The ingredients are high quality, none of that fake fructose or heavy syrups. Most everything, if not everything, is done in house and you can really taste it, or I can. The sweetness level at 30% is perfect for me. And when you select low ice, it's actually just a little bit of ice. One of my favorite drinks, the tiramisu comes with actual chunks of brownie which are so tasty. The ambiance is also really unique. Car and anime themed, the wall paper in the restroom is really cool. Parking lot can be busy on a Friday evening but still was able to find parking. Close to the Costco so pretty dangerous cause now I have to stop by every time I go to Costco.

    Egg tart - best custard ever!
    S L.

    Close to the Kirkland Costco so of course it's kind of a good location? The owner is very nice and accommodating - because I asked for extra extra hot drink and he has to boil it to make it that hot for me. He also gave us a free tart to taste and it was one of the best tart - in terms of the custard. Can't say the same the shell but I still love it enough. Drinks are good and can really taste the tea - for me it's on the sweeter side but it's ok I get it at 0 sugar - which is what I do now to cut down sugar intake. The boba was really sweet and chewy first time we were there. Third time there may have been a mishap because it wasn't as good but it's probably due to the place still getting things consistent considering it's relatively new. I really hope they will thrive because I want more options than just happy lemon and rare tea (besides our fav - Bobae) in the area. I have come back twice in 2 weeks so I definitely recommend the place.

    This place feels like it was planned by someone who's never run a cafe before. The good: - Tea tastes like real tea, not powdered stuff. - Boba is chewy. Sweetness levels are perfect. The bad: - Drinks are WAY too small. This is the big one. Bobalust and Happy Lemon are both less than a mile away, and they'll give you close to twice the amount of drink for the same price. These drinks aren't cheap, either- you're paying 7-8 dollars minimum. - Stocking issues. Half the time I've been here, they've been out of something important. Once it was boba itself, and this time at least 70% of their fairly small menu was out of stock. There are no photos on the ordering kiosk, either, so you have no idea what anything looks like. - Cups are opaque. So I guess you don't know what your drinks like even after you get it. Bubble tea stores use transparent cups for a reason: so you can hunt around for boba/jelly with your straw, and so you can see how much of your drink is left. But in pursuit of aesthetic, neither the lids nor the cups are see-through, so once I'm done drinking the tea, I have to rip open the top of the cup to get at the boba. - Store, which is themed around cars/anime, feels like it was designed with only aesthetics in mind, not how customers would actually USE it. The stool (?) tables are too small and wobbly to put my bag on, and the chairs have no arms to hang it from. Ten minutes in, my friend sitting across from me complains that her butt is hurting because the bench has absolutely no cushion. Also, because the bench is a lot higher than the table while my chair is a lot lower, she's had to stare down at me the whole conversation lol. There's pop music playing, but since there's no speaker system built into the store, it sounds like an employee is just blasting it from their phone in the back. There's stands for selling anime/car merch taking up the middle of the store, but most of the shelves are totally empty. Just a lot of inconveniences ruining an otherwise promising spot.

    My wife and I discovered this restaurant through Instagram. We were hyped up by it because of how good it looked in pictures and videos. We got there right when they opened at 12pm and while we were ordering at the kiosk they said that there was a 25 minute wait for the tapioca. There weren't many topping options like other bubble tea places in the area. My son is obsessed with cars so he had a blast pointing out all of the car artwork and car-themed stuff throughout. There wasn't any music playing inside. It can be difficult to enter the parking lot when there's a long line at the Mercury's Coffee. The parking lot was also full. 2.5 outta 5. The tea was good and the cups were nice but we came here for the boba.

    I got the Fizzy mango smoothie and it's so good! I will definitely be coming back. They have a lot of fun games for people who hangout: video games, board games, mini pool table, it's super cool!

Service is friendly taking my order (first time) but also can be distracted-hectic (second time). The interior is basic. I didn't stay. Both visits were to-go. Be aware that parts of this Juanita area, including the streets, are part of the development and is NOT regular city-parking. They are notorious for ferocious private parking meter-readers (not part of the city). Be sure to read the sign before leaving the vehicle. The Drinks and Food: Chocolate Oolong Milk Tea, $6.75(L) - 3.5 Stars The cashier said this is their most popular drinks. It still tasted quite sweet at 30% sweetness. Hubby said it tastes more like a chocolate milk. Ding it, he's right. (See what I did there.) Egg Coffee, $6.25 - 4 Stars Egg coffee is a northern Vietnamese specialty. Being in a paper cup takes away some of the charm, but such as is the U.S. lifestyle. It tasted as expected, a stronger, more roasted Viet coffee flavor. Mango Ice Tea, $6.75 - 3.5 Stars This is more of a mango drink with some tea taste - very fruity tea. Pandan Bubble Waffle, $7 - 4 Stars I came the second time mostly for this waffle. Served with whip cream and toasted coconut flake, the cashier looked at me like I grew an extra eye when I said whip cream only, no coconut. She literally didn't know how to respond to me. I am guessing they pre-pack the cream with the coconut already in it, and she didn't have time to pack another one. She handed us the bag with what we didn't want and left. I should lower the rating more, but I do like this waffle.

    We visited LizzyKate as we were interested in taking one of their tea classes. We had seen several…read morepop up in the past, but hadn't seen anything interesting in the past few months, so we dropped in to ask about them. Apparently rather than being prescheduled most of the time, they are held on demand. We asked for an Oolong tasting session and was able to get one penciled in a couple of weeks later. The store itself is appropriately decorated for a modern and trendy tea shop. There's a bit of an overpowering perfume that lingers throughout the store. It's not the best setting for a tea tasting, especially when trying to differentiate tasting notes when the olfactory glands are already completely saturated with perfume. LizzyKate has a decent selection of true tea, nothing super unique or rare, but I think they lean towards the more accessible blends and tisanes in the first place. Oolong Tasting Class ($35/per person) - Tasting sessions are held in the bar area, brewed mostly using gaiwan with carefully measured water temperature and volume. The class provides some educational material including laminated papers describing the tea production process, growing regions, anatomy, etc. More importantly, unlike some other tasting sessions I've attended, they actually provide pencil and paper, along with brewing instructions, to write down cupping and tasting notes. It certainly beats taking notes on my phone as I usually do. For this course, we tasted a white tea and four different oolongs. My personal tasting notes as follows (for future reference for myself): Bai Mu Dan - Mild, mellow, sweet and slightly astringent flavor with notes of honey and hay. Light golden liquid that's very easy to drink. Tie Guan Yin - Caramelized sweetness, vegetal leafy with a tiny earthy element. Darker golden color with more astringency and round lingering taste. The leaves smell smoky and roasted. Baihao - The smell is distinctively roasty and earthy, approaching the fermented smell of puerh. It has a brownish color and tastes smoky and earthy like peat. Formosa Oolong - It tastes of malt and molasses, with a certain oxidized toastiness. The color is more dark brown although it's not very astringent given the color. Osmanthus Oolong - This smells more malty and surprisingly not that flowery in aroma. The mouthfeel is extremely creamy and silky, almost like milk with the balanced taste of barley and hops with only a slight osmanthus flowery taste in the background. I think the base used is Jin Xuan given the milkiness. With the tasting also comes some treats including mini muffins and some tea infused bars from a chocolatier in Singapore, Fossa Chocolate. I think LizzyKate is more geared towards people who don't have much experience with tea and want a place that's extremely welcoming and modern. They have lattes and plenty of herbal and fruity infusions to help beginners ease into the complexities of tea, While this shop isn't for me, more tea shops are always welcome in the area. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends who want to dip their toes into the world of tea. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

We got to sample five teas and several pieces of chocolate, as well as snacks to clear the palate between teas. We learned about tea and how its harvested, as well as the processing of tea. We also learned about the tea flavor wheel and identified tea tasting notes in the sampled teas. I do wish there was more of a compare and contrast between the teas - it would have been cool to try the same teas but early vs late season, or tea processed similarly but from different regions. If you're new to tea though, the classes are perfect for you!

They don't have seats tables to linger. Considering how expensive Kirkland is, it is perfectly understandable. In the past, I was visually lured by their IG friendly drinks such as the strawberry matcha latte. I hated it. They serve it in a non-shakable cup, and it is impossible to properly stir the thick strawberry jam into the beverage. On this cold February day with no lines, I spent the time to ask questions, and we landed on the Bobaejicha, which is roasted green tea hojicha milk tea. For the hard care tea drinkers, hojicha is often a fav. They did right by the hojicha with the smoky tea, soothed with milk, and a touch of sweetness at 25%. It tasted good at 0% also, but I had her add the sugar after a few sips, so I can try both variants. I realized I prefer a 0% by the second half of the cup. Their house made brown sugar syrup adds a caramel taste when mixed with the smoky hojicha. Both variants are good. It was a fun chat to figure out my drink away from photo influences.
