“A decent place to get your pho and banh mi fix. My wife always orders the veggie pho with beef broth, and it's loaded with toppings. I get the flank steak pho but am always disappointed with the meat. I know it's not filet mignon but I usually don't even eat it because it's bland and chewy. Banh mi sandwiches come loaded with pork so that's always appreciated.“
“Great boba tea, and a good staff. I usually love boba tea, and when I saw one of these open near my house I couldn't resist trying it out! I got a Honey milk tea with black tea, 130% sweetness (I have a sweet tooth), less ice, and boba pearls. The inside is pretty nice, with good music and some tables. Be aware that if you come in at a busy time, the tables will probably be full. They have fried chicken too, which is AMAZING! I suggest coming in for Lunch, and getting boba tea and chicken! 9/10, great for a snack or lunch!“
“I've been trying boba places everywhere near me and this one was one of the good ones. I really enjoyed the strawberry smoothie it was so good. The employees were very friendly and I love the little smile on the lid.An excellent boba shop and also has good seating so great place to hang out as well! However one small thing was the boba tapioca balls kept getting clogged in my straw as they were too big! A minor issue they just need bigger straws! Will come here again as one of my go to boba spots.“
“I have been seeing and getting food from Esther since I was a little kid! The food has always been great quality and well priced for how much food you get! I only ever come to her to get teriyaki!! She always is so amazingly generous and kind anytime I’ve gone there, always taking the extra step! As a senior in high school this scholarship helps me cover the cost of graduating and more. I will forever will always come to her!!! Thank you Esther“
“Exceptional experience at this Indian restaurant! Impeccably clean environment with a friendly and polite staff. The gentleman assisting with orders was incredibly helpful. Portions were generous and the food was delicious. Highly recommend for a satisfying Indian meal. We will definitely be coming here for our Indian food cravings!“
“Best bubble tea in the north end! Lots of flavors and variations to customize to your liking! Customer service is always friendly and welcoming in their ultra cool, spacious space! I really appreciate this small business and love that I can substitute sugar levels to make it healthier! Love the mango milk tea as well as their taro avocado and alllll their iced tea flavors. And they have sooooo many flavors to choose from too!“

“The lychee lemongrass green tea with boba was pretty good. The boba was fresh too. Unfortunately they were out of all their food except their turkey and I'm a vegetarian so I wasn't able to try the food. The staff were fine, though seemed unsure of how to respond to the houseless individual pacing about the front of the store between various tables for about 30 minutes or more. He seemed distressed and was also disrupting others. Perhaps more support for the staff in this regard would be helpful. Other than that the ambiance was very peaceful and it made a good place to read or study. The lack of bathroom even for customers did seem somewhat strange though. I might come back in the future and hopefully try the food.“
“This dine in location is fabulous, but you know who specifically is freakin fantastic? Kieran. She’s the bomb and got me hooked on their lavender goodness, the Moonlight Saphire. When I want to try something new and let her know what I like and maybe not so into, she has never done me wrong. Whether it’s this location or Kirkland, love her smile and recommendations. She is amazing at explaining what’s new and what she’s serving if you have the fortunate pleasure of having her showcase your drink upon delivery. Thank you!!!“
“Best Banh Mi sandwich I have had in as long as I can remember. I only ran in to order, I didn’t dine in but the place is SUPER CUTE on the inside and the service I did experience was also equally amazing! 11/10 would eat again! (I ate my sandwich before I could take a picture of it)“
“Tobi's Tea is a hidden gem in the Lynnwood area that we stumbled upon while waiting in line at Alderwood mall. It's conveniently located nearby, making it a perfect spot for a refreshing boba break while shopping. Parking is a breeze with plenty of free spots available right in front of the shop.Despite its small size and limited seating, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Most customers opt for takeout, so it never feels too crowded. The menu offers a range of options, including recommended drinks and a build-your-own choice, allowing for customization of tea type, sugar level, toppings, and milk preference.I particularly enjoyed the hot boba with dark roasted oolong tea and salted cheese crema, while my girlfriend tried the famous Ube Latte with boba. Both drinks were well-crafted and flavorful, with the ube latte impressing us with its use of real purple yam instead of artificial flavoring.Although the wait for our drinks was a bit longer than expected, the quality of the beverages made it worth it. The oolong tea had a rich tea flavor that complemented the creamy crema perfectly, and the ube latte was a delightful surprise with its authentic taste.My only minor disappointment was the lack of a less-ice option, as I generally prefer warmer beverages. Nevertheless, Tobi's Tea has quickly become our go-to spot in the Lynnwood area, and we plan to visit more frequently in the future. If you're in the area and craving some top-notch boba, I highly recommend giving Tobi's Tea a try.“
“This place has definitely become one of my favorite spots for coffee and bubble tea! If I could give it 100 stars, I totally would. Not only are the food and drinks amazingly delicious, but also the people who work there provide such a wonderful service and experience that makes you feel welcomed. Every time I go I try to get something different (since there are so many options), but I absolutely love the Nutella Taiyaki and the tiramisu coffee :)“
“Phó shop owned by a mom and pop literally. They have big portions and great food. Small restaurant, but packs a punch! Parking can be kind of a challenge, but its worth the hassle.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options, like veggies or tofu“
“Bobae is one of my go-to spots, especially when the sun is out. It's a quick walk from the waterfront. While it can be busy, there are times when I get to have a chat with the baristas. Alexis is pretty chill. We often talk about music.“
“As a boba lover, I’d say this place is the best I’ve had. I tried their ceremonial matcha milk tea boba and it was delicious! The boba was chewy and it had a strong brown sugar taste, which I really enjoy. The matcha and the sweetness were perfect even at 50%. The only downside I’d say is finding parking for this place. But I’d still would come regardless!“
“Tra Kirkland doesn’t just have a nice atmosphere but amazing drinks. Our children enjoyed the strawberry lemonade and blue lemonade. We even splurged on the cute robot cups. The lemonades weren’t too sweet, slightly tart and very refreshing. My husband enjoyed the viet coffee and I got the coconut viet coffee. The coffee was smooth, flavorful and cooling on a warm day. They have drinks that cater to every preference from coffee to teas. I would highly recommend this shop.“
“The "croffle" was yummy, with a nice sugar crispy coating & was made fresh to order. The wait (17 minutes for just 1 croffle) was not communicated at all, which is inappropriate for counter order takeout especially since they didn't look busy (about 10 people at tables mostly already with food, no one waiting at the front).“
“Stepping into this family-run tea business felt like entering a haven of warmth. From the moment I crossed the threshold, I was enveloped in the comforting embrace of hospitality and tradition. The atmosphere was infused with a sense of heritage, as if each cup of tea held within it generations of knowledge and craftsmanship passed down through the family. The selection was diverse and carefully curated, showcasing a blend of classic favorites and unique flavors that tantalized the senses. But what truly set this business apart was the personal touch of the family members themselves, who greeted customers with genuine warmth and shared their wealth of tea wisdom with enthusiasm. Whether it was a recommendation tailored to my taste preferences or a story behind a particular blend, every interaction felt like a glimpse into the rich tapestry of tea culture. In a world dominated by mass-produced beverages, this family-run tea business stood as a beacon of authenticity and connection, inviting tea lovers to embark on a journey of discovery and delight with every sip. It was that good, I came back but this time, I was convinced to try a different flavor.“
“The beverage shop opened in Taiwan has a bit of an artist aura and there are many people in the shop! The number at the time of purchase is 188, which may mean that 188 cups have been sold that day. There are some seats in the store where you can sit. The environment is relatively noisy with people coming and going, so it is a suitable place for chatting. The drink tastes quite special, and the pearls are quite delicious. There are many students from the University of Washington nearby, so it’s a great place to go after midnight dinner.Parking: You have to pay for street parking outside during the day, but not after night~“
“This is the best place to get boba in Cap Hill! The workers are very nice and the cafe is super cute. Been coming here for a few years and I recommend the cookie milk tea, the strawberry, and the orange green teas. The little snacks are also very good, though they are always sold out of the tornado potato!“
“This place is fun! It's a really good spot for a catch-up time with your friends, or if you're like my roommate and I, just a place to go to "get out of the house." The last time we were there, we noticed that there were board games in the front and got really excited. So we pulled one out and started playing. It created such a good vibe all around. The drinks are really good, and the service was extremely friendly. Because of the board games, my roommate and I will probably be back to hang out there since we live so close.“
“Loved this place - their salted caramel macarons are lovely. Perfect flavor. I had their chocolate ice cream as well, and it was very good, especially for only $3 (single scoop, no cone). I was pleasantly surprised that it had chocolate chips and brownie chunks. They give you a punch card for drinks, that will give you a free one eventually, which is very nice!Parking: There are stores with parking lots very close by, and some street parking. The parking right next to the store is private property.“
“100% RECOMMEND!! i cannot say enough kind words. i've always been a big fan of mochinut, but today i became a forever customer. mochinut catered at my school tonight, and i could not be more pleased with the mochinut representatives. they're sweet like their donuts! knowing there's good people behind your food is always an amazing feeling. not to mention, the sweets are so tasty! there's not one bad thing i can say. if you're the mochinut worker i spoke to today, you're awesome! i love mochinut!!“

“Honestly a great place. Their boba teas are fantastic. I absolutely love their peach milk tea. But on top of that they have good customer service AND really friendly. In addition to being super fast. I've had it delivered and I've also ordered in store it's great every time. Well done guys.!“
“I really love this place. The staff are really nice and just the place itself is really nice. There is usually music and games that you can play while drinking your drink. Sometimes the drinks take a while to get because there are a lot of other people but it is worth it!“
“My brother put me on to their Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink and I get it every time we go there now. Kiddos had fun playing with the Jenga blocks and other stuff for them to mess around with. The "@" seating area was a nice touch. Super friendly staff and low wait times. Atmosphere is a 4 only because the music was having an issue and had to be put on someone's phone and it kept going in and out lol. Other than that I highly recommend this place!“
“I came to try Sunright tea studio for the first time because of their Maplestory collab! They featured a limited time Yeti’s El Nath coconut frostie and Green Slime’s Ellinia kiwi tea. Sunright does these game collabs every now and then so it’s always interesting to check it out. This location at UW is one of the few Washington locations of this popular California chain.FoodMy friend and I wanted to try both Maplestory drinks so we got the Yeti’s El Nath coconut frostie and Green Slime’s Ellinia kiwi tea. I drank the kiwi tea and it was pretty good! The drink was like your typical kiwi fruit drink though and didn’t really have anything special to make it Maplestory centric other than the cup and name. I would come again to try some other drinks here.AtmosphereThe space is very small and really only has standing room. It is not a place where you can come and hang out with your friends. There are 2 kiosks that you order your drink.PricingThe prices for the drinks at Sunright are average compared to other fruit teas places. The Maplestory drinks were about a dollar more than the average drink at Sunright.ServiceSelf service ordering so you don’t have to talk to anyone to order your drink. You can customize the ice level, sweetness, and toppings. The drink came out pretty fast.OtherThere is a parking garage next to the tea shop but coming in and out of it during traffic times is annoying to do since it’s on a busy one way street. The entrance to Sunright is right across the entrance to Trader Joe’s!“
“I LOVE THIS PLACEThis is a place where you can create your own Boba and size it however you want which I really really love.The service is amazing and everybody is so happy and cheerful!The atmosphere here is definitely a 10 out of 10 because it just works with the environment and it looks really really nice. This place is also Very family-friendly.Parking: Because this is in Seattle, it’s pretty hard to find parking so I would recommend parking at Northgate and just taking the one line in three stops to University Street.(Free parking in Northgate near Barnes & Noble.)Kid-friendliness: Everyone here is very happy and cheerful so definitely a 10 out of 10.“
“My favorite bubble tea in Seattle! Amazing tea selection and not as sweet as most other places I've tried. Cute window seating and decor.Dietary restrictions: They offer alternative milk options (as well as adjustable sweetness and ice levels)“
“Such a great find; Walking in to find a very calming atmosphere; soft music, great drinks (The drink list and Combinations wonderful).Perfect for kids and Diabetics due to being able to adjust the Sugar/sweetness levels. Also the lids are heated onto the cup for a perfect seal.After hurting my back and having to use my cane; it's perfectly accessible to walk around AND having soft chairs.If you haven't visited this place yet; I highly suggest the visit!Kid-friendliness: Like I mentioned in the main comment.ADJUSTABLE SUGAR LEVELS (Yes I used caps to get the emphasize the clarity).Plenty of pictures for the littles one to see.Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect spacing for Wheelchairs; several tables for one to pull up to (Both front and back of the store)“
“Just wanted to share awesome positive vibe of this place. We only got a bottle of water there, but experience left me happy. My daughter was very thirsty while we were on a stroll around UW. We kept searching for it, but couldn’t find any. We ended up coming to a cafe which was closed a time. I went in, explained a situation and asked if I could buy a bottle and quickly leave as nothing else was open. Staff was very nice to us and allowed us to get one. It was very kind and made our evening with frustrated and thirsty toddler much nicer. Thank you and we will be back when you are open.“
“***BEST POPCORN CHICKEN*** That I've ever had at a boba shop ! It was juicy and tasty and the perfect amount of spice ! The only thing I could say was that having sauce options would've made it that much better. The royal tea was good and so was their crystal boba. It's a little pricey for me to say it's GREAT (~$7). They also have milkshakes and hot drinks options ! They weren't busy so it came out in less than 5 minutes. The place is decorated with a beautiful mural of the space needle surrounded by cherry blossoms. Would go back purely for the popcorn chicken.“
“While I have been to the TP Tea in CID numerous times, this is my first visit to the UW location. At 7:18pm, I was soooo surprised to see it was completely empty except one customer. At the same time in the CID store would typically mean the line is out the door long! This only tells me the UW area is saturated with tea shops. TP Tea remains one of the very best there is with true Taiwanese style milk tea. I like their sweetness levels, which is much lower than typical American drinks. If you like your drinks sweet, don't come here. I ordered my typical two drinks (I take them home to finish over several days.)- Original milk tea with grass jelly (only TP Tea knows how to make it really, really smooth), 30% sugar, no ice- Tie Guan Yin Latte, 30% sugar, less ice (no ice is not an option)Both drinks are $5.75. Both are excellent!The service was swift. The ladies there were busy - prepping, serving, making drinks, taking orders. No issue with service.The place has a few low benches that are meant for waiting for the drinks, not for hanging out. They line these benches against the windows only. The deco is the same as the CID store with wood carved flowers and leaves. The place is visually clean and neat.“
“I ordered the Thai Green Tea with boba. Overall the drink was good; a bit on the pricier end but it was of a decent size and hit the spot, so I can't complain. However, the employee working the register convinced me to not do 0% sugar but 50% because tea would be bitter otherwise. I should have listened to my gut instinct because even 50% was a bit too sweet for me. :(I still liked my drink though and would recommend both the cafe and the Thai Green Tea specifically. If in the area and craving boba, I'll definitely stop by again. Service was fast too.“
“It's unique to see a boba shop with free toppings (especially unique when you can get multiple free toppings!). Seattle Best Tea also has more varieties of tea than most boba shops do in Seattle. Otherwise, I didn't find anything noteworthy about the drinks they serve. My friend said the tea was "amazing" last time she came and this time was "good" (4/5 stars) but neither of us were particularly impressed with the boba (3/5 stars). The service was good (5/5 stars) and the ambiance is "leftover furniture that I got from my parent's house" (5/5 stars because that doesn't bother me).“
“Main reason I go here is for the waffles and the occasional drinks. Service is pretty fast on weekdays but can get really crowded towards the weekend. Going to this place during a weekend rush is kind of annoying, especially when other people are really loud and ordering A LOT of items.Workers here are pretty cool. If there is a problem with your order or drink, ask any of them about it and they will correct it fast.“
“I just had a superb original milk tea with cheese foam!The brown sugar pearls are cooked just right and are tender but not slimy. the original milk tea is great, light and malty without being sharp or bitter. The cheese foam knocked my socks off - elevated a high quality snack drink to a rich dessert!Staff was very patient with my bewildered curiosity about cheese foam and helped me pick a drink I am very happy with.“
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
“THEY HAVE ALL THIER FLAVORS IN A NO SUGAR ADDED (less than 2 grams per serving) OPTION!!!!! Use the customizer kiosk by the front door, you can order a minimum of 8oz per flavor and only one flavor per cup, but it's worth it, and they pop out on a shelf in between the yogurt machines in just 3-5 minutes!They also have many sugar free toppings for the yogurt. By far my favorite yogurt place I've ever been to! I suggest the apple pie no sugar added on the customizer and then adding graham cracker crumbs and their sugar-free caramel sauce.“
“The workers were helpful, the location was clean, and the portion to price ratio was very reasonable. I was intrigued due to the name of the shop. Service was fast and they were showcasing local art!Dietary restrictions: They offer dairy free and lactose free options.“
“Came to Seattle with my friends, heard cold plate is a cool place. The shop is not big but space-full, I like the vibe here it gives a warm atmosphere during the winter. The rolled ice cream tastes amazing, we came in on the Wednesday night, was not expecting to have so many people ordering a head of us since it’s winter. There was only one worker, it was a quite a wait to get the ice cream but she really did a good job on all of our orders and managed to get them out as fast as she can. We loved the food and service. Would definitely come again sometimes during summer.“

“Hangry Panda is a dream come true! I have celiac disease, so it’s not very easy for me to find places where I can eat safely and know I won’t be gluten poisoned. I have 100% trust in Hangry Panda when it comes to preparing delicious GF food! Everything on the menu is good, their GF fried chicken is like a balm to my soul after years of sad GF fried chicken, their Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich is probably my favorite thing on their menu. The wine drunk pork belly is also killer good though and so is their chicken teriyaki! I also really like their honey milk tea, it’s nice to have real milk tea and I appreciate that they make it easy to select how sweet you want your milk tea 50% sweetness for me!The staff is always so helpful and the food is really consistent, they have never messed up my order. Once I came in to pickup my food and they hadn’t received my order due to their internet connection going down. They were able to confirm my order and knocked it out super fast for me, so what could’ve been awkward was no big deal!The only drawback is that the restaurant is very micro micro tiny, so it’s more a place to grab food to go, than to eat in.10/10 would recommend whether you have dietary restrictions or not ❤️Parking: It’s usually easy to park right out front but there’s also a lot behind the shop with a couple spots reserved for Hangry Panda!“
“This place is awesome and their Boba is good! What makes them special is that they have delicious waffles with special dips, different kinds of drink options than usual Boba places and a nice atmosphere with friendly staff.My favorite is the fresh milk Ube tea with taro! So delicious and a little on the sweeter side. Their regular Boba milk tea tastes like it was freshly brewed. Very delicious. The waffles are both chewy and crunchy and very satisfying. Give them a try for dessert or a snack one day!“
“This is one of my favorite dessert spots! All of their drinks and chè are amazing, and the pandan waffle is a dream. I like the red bean combo, taro lover, Bambu combo, Fruit addict. So many great options to choose from. I've ordered the pandan waffle at other locations, but they never compared to this location. Theirs is always big, crispy and chewy!Việt owned and operated! I miss Nhu, but everyone is kind and great.“
“First off, the atmosphere is on point. I like how it’s unapologetically the owner’s style and not just bland cafe style.We got the Royal milk tea and the green tea with fresh milk. Both were very good, strong tea flavor, not too sweet. The green tea was refreshing.The egg tarts were also very good. A light dusting of cinnamon on top, super flaky and crispy crust.I’ll be stopping by every time I’m in the area for sure.“
“Came for dinner in the area and was happy to try out a new bubble tea place. Staff was friendly and was willing to blend a drink for my bf that wasn't on the menu. I got the Kiwi Fruit Tea and Grapefruit Green Tea. They were very refreshing and tasty; you can actually taste the bitterness of the grapefruit; it didn't taste fake and syrupy.“
“Absolutely delicious banh mi sandwiches, and under $10 which is hard to find. I got the grilled pork and my boyfriend got the lemongrass. The bread was not too hard, the amount of veggies were perfect and the meat was marinated so well. Both really good and will definitely be back.“
“Really happy I stumbled upon this place!I was looking for an "asian" cake where as it was "not too sweet" but still enjoyable. I ordered three 4-inch cakes: tiramisu, strawberry, and mango. All were very delicious! I was happily surprised with the mango - because it had sago inside the light and creamy frosting. Yum! Everyone at the birthday dinner enjoyed the beautiful-looking and tasty mini cakes.I also spoke with the owner(?), and she was very sweet and personable. Sharing that they have been around for 10 years now.I will definitely come back again for another birthday or event. Love the value and the cakes were perfect!“
“Café Kleo has truly mastered the art of crafting delightful treats, and their Bubble Waffles are no exception. The waffles are artfully prepared, creating a feast for the eyes even before the first bite. The bubbly texture adds a unique and playful element to the overall aesthetic, making them a perfect treat for those seeking a visually appealing snack.The Bubble Waffles are served with a delicious combination of ice cream, fresh fruits, and other goodies that elevate the flavor profile. The contrast of the warm, crispy waffle with the cool, creamy ice cream and the burst of freshness from the fruits creates a harmonious blend of textures and tastes.“
“No complaints. I love when boba places have board games and the ones here are all good quality not like the ones that are all missing things. if you're trying to find it and you're looking on yelp because you're lost, go into mama viets kitchen. Have a blessed day!“
“A good spot for a quick bite or a boba tea. Their sandwiches are flavorful, and just the right mix of textures. The boba tea menu is a hit too, with lots of tasty options. Plus, their catering service is super convenient for office lunches.“
“The store provides a convenient grab-and-go service along with serene background music and has room for up to 15 people to sit. Lots of open space to wait for your order. I tried original bubble waffles and avocado smoothies and the puff cream for the waffles. We really liked the puff cream and smoothies are okay.The puff cream is worthy try.“
