80% sweet was still quite sweet. I think I would try 75% or 50% next time.
Transaction fee for credit card orders under $10 ?
No place to sit down. It is a grab and go kind of place. It took awhile to get our tea ( 15+ minutes).
I got the milk tea and it tasted quite fragrant.
For people that like toppings, this is a good place since toppings are free.
This has become our default bubble tea spot. There’s tons of bubble tea stores in the international district but this place is very consistent, has a great assortment of teas and smoothies and is 2-3 under most of their competitors. The “Pink Lady” which is lychee, lemon and rose water from their specials menu was really refreshing and could easily be doctored up if you wanted to pregame!
They call themselves the best in Seattle... And I have to agree! Best bubble tea I've had yet. Only slight issue I'd maybe say is the tapioca is a little smaller than what I would have liked - used to them clogging the straw but so tasty that I can't justify it less than 5 stars
My go-to boba place in the International District. They use real brewed tea and you can customize the level of sweetness. My favorite is the yogurt green tea, half-sweet. There are options for whatever flavors you like and the helpful staff can guide you toward something you'll enjoy.
Stopped by Seattle Best Tea and trued their Heavy Oolong Tea and Kiwi milk tea with boba. The kiwi milk boba tea was refreshing but the heavy oolong was too strong for my taste. It is a great choice for tea lovers as you can taste the notes in every sip. Service is pretty quick and the owners are welcoming explaining what their best sellers are and also help you make a choice if you are confused. Highly recommend giving them a try.
Excellent honeydew milk tea! Not super sweet and made perfect with the popping boba at the bottom. Also very kind and efficient staff! :-) My dad highly enjoyed the coconut ice cream as well.
I love this place. Been here a few times. Good tea, great ice cream, decent prices. I really recommend sampling their tea ice cream flavors, they're just amazing. This place gives the vibes of family business which I appreciate. If only I could remember bringing my punch card 😄
I recommend getting to go, there's not a lot of seating.
This tea spot is right in the heart of Seattle's Chinatown. It's a small location that transcends time and culture by allowing a mixture of old school tea room, combined with new school boba tea. The boba tea is priced far superior to others of it's kind. Also, they only serve one size which is large, for the price of $5.25 per drink without even charging for extras (jelly, boba, popping boba, etc). This is how boba tea should be. Other places are charging upwards of $6.50-$8 for the same experience. I miss the good old days of average priced bubble tea and this place definitely serves it up. The service is also respectful and kind. I'm only visiting, but this would be a regular spot for when I return to Seattle's best tea joint.
The staff here are so sweet! Like other reviews claim, not the typical milk tea - but in my opinion it’s better than the high processed ingredients other places use. It costs 3.99 for this strawberry milk tea (added tapioca balls for free) and it’s huge! The have this organic tea section in the back where people can sit (sometimes people bring their own guitar and play). Definitely a MUST STOP if you’re in international district!
They really back up their name with actions! The tea flavors are amazing and the boba is not soggy and just the perfect amount of chewiness. We have a handful of great boba places in San Diego and this shop rivaled some of my favorites.
They even have a board with a list of best sellers and local recommendations if you are feeling adventurous. Had the Peach Coconut Milk Tea which was nice and sweet; would recommend that one if you like fruity drinks. Also had the brown sugar boba and that one really hit the spot too!
