My favorite stop when driving to Seattle from Portland. The menu is fantastic with all their fruit drinks and everything I've had tastes great. Haven't been disappointed yet after quite a few visits.

Some of the best drinks that have ever graced my taste buds. I wish this existed in every major city.

This Bobalust Tea House location is actually pretty close to home and its always popping! Sometimes customers are spilling out of the store because the location is a bit smaller than Kirkland. Overall, customer service is pretty good. I asked a few questions and I ended up getting a Green Thai Tea & the OG milk tea with 0% sweetness. If you are unsure about the the sweetness level you can always ask for a sample, they are usually able to provide that as long as they are not super busy. 0% sweetness was actually just right for the OG Milk tea, so I'm glad I was able to try it out first! We got regular ice level and with boba and the drink was good! Boba was excellent consistency, more on the chewy side, but not hard in the middle or anything. I would say the tea doesn't have a super strong tea flavor, its a little more on milky side, but still really good. I personally like my boba tea with a stronger tea flavor, but I do enjoy to change it up every once in a while.I do wish they had the small cubes of chewable, slushee ice inside their drinks. I noticed that the Kirkland location does this and its a bit more fun to drink and I like being able to sip up ice with the straw as you get to the bottom of your drink.They have lots of different drink options, great for all boba lovers. I think next time I'll have to try the pure tea options for a less milky / heavy drink. Good thing they are close to us, so plenty of opportunity to get more boba at Bobalust!

The boba tea itself was pretty mid, and the boba was very tasteless and undercooked (like eating balls of rubber). The macaroons were great though!! Albeit very overpriced.

They have a vast selection of drinks! It's hard to choose. Sometimes I'll ask staff what they recommend if I can't pick one flavor. I love how they are open late as well. It's a chill vibe with good customer service. Not a long wait for your drink (I've only ordered one at a time, I'm not sure how long you wait for multiple drinks). If I'm craving boba before midnight, I'd come here!

Stopped by before the airport and so glad we did! We had a few hours to kill and after hearing so much good things about this boba shop I really wanted to stop by. We got their crimson cutie, strawberry seduction, and lychee bomb. The Crimson Cutie is a slushie and had a lot of peach flavor. It wasn't super sweet and I love the texture of their slushie. Their slushie didn't have that icey texture and was very smooth. Their lychee bomb slushie had lots of lychee flavor. It was a little on the sweeties side compared to the other two drinks but will be a hit for any lychee lover! The strawberry seduction milkshake tasted like strawberries and cream. It leaned a bit more to the milkier side but if you like strawberries and cream, you'd like this. Service was really quick and the workers were very nice and answered questions we had since it was our first time. Overall great experience and a super chill place to relax and catch up with friends with good drinks!

I was lusting to suck on some black balls in the late night hours cause I want to feel something (not what you think, it's boba... chill lol), and BobaLust hits the spot in 2 dimensions: the chill ambience and their late hours. Before BobaLust, the typical decent Seattle boba shop will close at like 8pm and any later than that, you are stuck with very mediocre options that close at midnight (you know where). Some friends and I went here around 10:15pm while it was pouring rain outside, and I resisted the urge but failed. So many people recommended the Thai green tea and I personally haven't had Thai green tea before so I decided to get that with honey boba, so yolo, what is sleep. Now, the Thai green tea is worth keeping me up late at night until 4am because there is so much caffeine. It is very fragrant and even though I opted for half sugar and half ice, it is a full drink and nothing is watered down. The boba is very good, not the best, but excellent especially at this hour. It is soft and chewy, as you expect, and they are quite flavorful too. One small bonus is that you can be as wholesome or unhinged as you want here - the cup has "I only love boba & ____" and you can write anything you want! Let me know what you say!
Venturing to this location for the first time, I was captivated by the decor and ambiance of the boba shop. Other boba shops like to add a good amount of sugar to their fruit teas, so I decided to order the SummerSass with 0% sugar, While my group and I left the store after receiving our drinks, the employee ran out with a newly made drink and explained the situation of how they caught their mistake of adding sugar to one of our drink where one was supposed to not have sugar in it. I was amazed by their exceptional customer service as they went to great lengths to make the customer satisfied. Thanks y'all!

I love music, but the music volume was a little too loud where I couldn't have a conversation at my table without speaking up. The drinks were good - I had a smoothie but will try the milk tea next time I'm in town. I thought it was pricey for a boba drink. I got 50% sweetness but I still thought it was 100% sweetness.

I've been hooked on the chamolly. It's tasty and reminiscent to mangonada. I wish it had a bit more spice to it but it's good regardless. I get milk tea approximately 2-3 times a week at various locations. By far they are the fastest at making drinks, they impress me even when it's very crowded. Lychee drink a bit too sweet for me but my kiddo loves it. Overall I like it. I wish it wasn't so far from me I would come more frequently.

My kids love it here. It's your grab and go boba tea joint. No sit down means no table service. However the staff here is always bright and cheerful. Best boba staff ever!
