Boba Express has tasty options and very good prices, but the drinks had a starchy texture and artificial flavor for my friend's drink, which sucks because i really wanted to like it. We got taro for my friend and passion fruit tea for myself. Cozy spot in the crossroads mall, and honestly a solid spot for a quick boba fix if you're in a sweet treat mood, just wish the flavors were more natural. I will definitely be back to try another flavor though. Very kind and patient staff. read more

I was in the area, wanted something refreshing to drink, and decided to try Boba Express. I got the Mango Fruit Juice at 50% sweetness. What I got was not fruit juice but colored water, it had 0 taste of Mango. Not going back. read more

These guys have been around since as long as I can remember! Their boba is good, I personally like their Vanilla Milk Tea w/ Mini Boba (add pudding if I'm craving sweet). Pricing seems reasonable. The hidden gem here is the food! You *must* try the Popcorn Chicken! I'll drive from out of town just to get the popcorn chicken! read more

2 stars. Girl behind the counter told me "hurry up" in the middle of my order. Like lady excuse you at least tap your 18 inch nails at me holy. Mid tasting boba also screw this place read more

It's an ok place to get boba tea. It's not the best and it's not the worst for taste. Service is non-existent but checkout still ask for a tip. read more

You will find this inside the Crossroads Mall on the outside of the food court. People that love boba tea find that this is a safe go-to when they want to be sure they are going to get a good boba...not necessarily the best they have had, but a good one. It is always consistent. Service is like all the other food vendors in the mall. They do not smile and you are lucky if they even great you. They seem to be there to do the minimum and collect their paycheck. But so many places seem like that these days. Not sure you would have a different experience at another place. Ambiance...well, it is a food court. They do a pretty good job of keeping it cleaned up with clean tables and free of garbage. I would say, get it to go and enjoy it somewhere nicer. It is a safe bet. Go for it!! read more

Neve ever going here again. Got a popcorn chicken that only came with 6 pieces and they said that's normal. Absolutely not, this is horrible read more

Got a taro sago milk and it was pretty good! Real taro cubes in the drink, and no purple food coloring that you typically find in artificial "taro flavored" drinks. Boba Express is located inside the food court at Crossroads. There was a line, but drinks were made quickly so there wasn't much of a wait. read more

Bitter experience today. We order the strawberry milk with pooping boba. My son threw up after a few sips. The lady at the store didn't bother to even help us and justified stating that the boba has no issue. She didn't bother to give us another drink or issue a refund. Nor did she apologize. Totally disappointed. read more

I stumbled upon Boba Express while out running errands and thought I'd give it a try. It's located inside Crossroads mall and gives hole-in-wall energy. The first thing I noticed was that the glass was covered in posters, so it was hard to see inside. There was a window area where I could place my order with a menu hanging behind. I ordered a small fruit smoothie and added boba and the total came out to $5.50, which seems overpriced for a size small, but I have to say it was really tasty. The fruit smoothie was the perfect sweetness and the boba was delicious, however it took up a big portion of my smoothie. I almost wish I got more of the fruit smoothie and a little less boba. Overall I might return if I'm in the area again, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way. read more

I've only been here twice so far, and got the Grapefruit Green Tea both times. It's my favorite one that I always get at the other location in Factoria. I can't say much on the other drinks and flavors here, but I do like the Grapefruit Green Tea because they put actual grapefruit in it. Although it doesn't say you can adjust sugar level (I've never asked), the Grapefruit Green Tea actually isn't too sweet. Not sure if I'll ever feel the need to try other flavors, but I know I'll be happy with my usual. read more

By far one of the best boba I've drank. However, I truly believe which drink you order, I always order the passion fruit milk tea as I suggest you do too. The flavored milk teas are the only think on their drinks menu which is good. There is a catch though, the mango one is veryyy sweet so be aware. However the boba and lychee jelly have an amazing texture. Lastly, the popcorn chicken also slays :) this place is also very cheap compared to others. The service is very quick. Not much to say abt the ambience just a few seats nearby in the mall. Mainly a takeout place. read more

I didn't purchase any food today, but it does look good. The service was great. The ambiance is a Boba Milk Tea shop inside a Mall. read more

3 1/2 stars, to be fair. This is a very generic bubble tea spot, conveniently located in crossroads mall. It looks quite run down and a bit dirty, if I'm honest. But the ladies seemed to follow proper food handling guidelines, so I think it is more just the general vibe of the store. I asked for water and because they were out of cups I agreed to pay .75 for a bubble tea cup. It was cute. My taro bubble tea with tapioca tasted good and the tapioca was cooked well. The texture that is expected. Although there were quite a few random tiny balls mixed in (like the size of nerds candies) so that was strange. But no complaint here. Hubby got a peach smoothie and it tasted good, but was not mixed together well so there were sips of pure peach sugary-ness. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but I would get it again if I were in the neighborhood. read more

I'm leaving two stars, because I used to like it, but I can never, ever go again. Preface: the first sip seemed to have some ice bits in it. I was happily sipping and then I looked down and saw a fruit fly on my straw. Eww. But at that point the tea was below the plastic covering, and I saw it...a bunch of fruit flies IN MY DRINK!!! Those were not ice bits I drank! How does one prepare that and not see a ton of fruit flies? read more

We love their taro milk tea. Have for years. But. It has taken me a while to get around to writing this review. but I am writing this in public interest. A couple of years ago, I decided to get the popcorn chicken. And I cannot tell you how disgusting it tasted. There was something wrong with it to the point that it tasted VILE. Like ABSOULUTELY disgusting and the taste lingers in my mouth at the memory of this. I had only to take a SMALL bite of this for it to happen. So it must have been rotting or something ? I dont know honestly what could have caused it. Whatever it was has turned me off from eating popcorn chicken in this life ever again. (I used to love the spice and always used to get this) read more

Looks unimpressive, customer service could use some work, but they are fast, the bubble tea taste is great and it's super convenient. Fast, reasonably priced, and delicious gets 5 stars from me. Don't judge the book by it's cover when looking at this place for bubble tea. They are super quick which is wonderful when I'm (or anyone) is in a hurry. I've been here maybe 7? Times and they have almost always made my drink in less than 4 minutes. Excellent flavor every time too. read more

It's nice here. Sometimes it's poppin' and sometimes it's super slow. They have a good standard selection even dairy free and flavored smoothies. Small food options, prices have always been rising but even so I still pay $6 for a drink. (With all the toppings and boba of course) service could improve but it's meant for a chill environment read more

Average place for bubble tea my opinion. But I won't count them out yet after only one experience. Pros: Decent prices and convenient location in Crossroads Bellevue mall for a quick fix. Cons: Needs work on the ratio of the powder in the drink. The green tea matcha smoothie I had was too generous and heavy handed on the powder and sugar, making it taste too artificial for me to finish. read more

The boba tea was quite satisfying. Lychee jelly was tasty. The pearls were extremely fresh. And the fried squid balls are always a treat. And the new takoyaki balls were very good! We usually end up with something from here when we're at Crossroads read more

Drinks: 3 stars I thought the regular milk tea is just so so, but their egg pudding is yummy. My avocado shake is fine and sweet, but at times it tasted somewhat artificial for some sips. Boba was sweet. Price: 3 stars Just like other boba tea places, it's expensive to get boba tea in the states. Service: 4 stars The cashier is Cantonese and he's friendly. He will also hand you a straw with your drink. Well done! Location: 4 stars Conveniently located in the food court at crossroads mall. Plenty of parking around. Park around QFC since it's the closest. Overall: 3.5 stars We'd definitely come here again if we are craving for boba tea. Maybe get some xiao long bao from dough zone on the way too hehe read more

Super delicious boba! The mocha smoothie was a perfect choice on a hot day like today and was exactly what I wanted. Service was very quick and helpful, and the servers were very kind. Good prices and good sizes. Lots of choices as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

On a trip to this plaza, I noticed this Boba shop and I thought, "Boba sounds good!". So I decided to give it a try. No sooner did the cashier handed my change, was my drink delivered to me. SUPER FAST! After taking my first sip, I was immediately disappointed since the flavor of the tea was not strong. It wasn't bad per se, just not my cup of tea (literally). To me, it just tasted like sweet milk. The boba itself was not bad. It could have been more bouncy, but at least it wasn't hard. I think that this place MAY satisfy the cravings of some, but I am looking for more! read more

Got a mango jasmine green tea with lychee jelly... despite paying extra for the jelly I barely got any and it all floated to the top of the cup and the drink was so insanely sweet that I can't take more than a sip. It tastes like water with way too much mango flavor and tastes nothing like jasmine green tea. Really disappointed :-( read more

5/5 for their popcorn chicken - crunchy, juicy, delicious, and nice portion size. Get it mild and it will be spicy enough. 4/5 for the papaya drink if papaya is in season. Can't vouch for anything else. read more

The people preparing the drink were running out of boba and instead of being honest and telling me that they gave me such a small amount that I actually had to go back and tell them that this was not acceptable. Afterwards, they gave me just a small amount of different boba to make up for it but it was still way less than what I usually get when I go to other boba places. I felt like it was pretty dishonest, and I doubt that I'll go back again. read more

I got a honeydew boba smoothie. I'd give 5 stars for the actual bubble tea and 1 Star to the employees.

I will be checking with my credit card company to make sure he didn't just charge me twice for no reason. read more

Wow! This place has the worst customer service! I've been a loyal customer for years and was trying to redeem my buy 10, get 1 free punch cards and the 3 employees there said they no longer take them as of July but didn't offer to do the right thing by letting me use it, especially since I have enough to get 3 drinks (about $100 worth of drinks I've spent there!) seriously! I will not patronize a business that doesn't do right to its customers! read more

Boba Express - Taro milk tea with lychee jelly - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I have tried their Milk Tea ( with boba) and fruit juices ( mango and lychee). Unfortunately none of them tasted good. The milk tea lacks flavor and too much watered down. The juices contained about 80 percent ice and 20 percent juice. Definitely not worthy of wasting money. read more

What do you expect? Two hours before the closing time and d of the day and there is no boba that is the most important topping to have. Anyways, hardly any customer service skills so NO TIP. The guy preparing the drink did not have gloves and I could see him touching everything surface, containers, etc in that space. Yuck. read more

$4 minimum for using credit cards. The worker seemed annoyed that I disturbed them while they were eating, but served me fairly quickly. Surprisingly, the taro milk tea was pretty good. It's on the sweet side, but it's pretty good for its price. Drinks were pre-made and are stored in buckets in the refrigerator, which was a bit weird to me. They have good texture on their boba, so it was a big plus. Enjoyed the drink, didn't really like the service. read more

Boba Express - It didn't even last 5 minutes - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Extremely frustrated with the lack of customer service at Boba Express. I couldn't even believe what happened today until after I walked away! We ordered a Thai iced tea with boba and accidentally dropped it in front. It spilled everywhere and the cup was dripping and asked if we could dispose of it behind the counter. They said "there's a trash bin behind you". We were already standing there dripping in sugary liquid and you want us to walk another 10 feet and have us drop more liquid and create a hazard on the way over.... ok. Then we ask do you have any way to call custodial services to clean this up? They said, "yeah they'll probably come by". Uh alright so you just want to look at this spilled drink in front of your store. Then I ask if we could get another thai iced tea and they said they would charge us for it.... I couldn't even believe the lack of remorse they had. This store was incapable of providing any sort of customer satisfaction when we were in distress. I've seen smaller businesses with more to lose and offer a drink after an accident. This is not a way to retain and gain repeat customers. I will no longer provide any sort of business here. Good luck to the individuals that work here, you won't get very far in life by not showing sympathy. read more

Cheap, quick, tasty! One of my favorite places to pop in for boba. I like their jasmine green tea with tapioca pearls. The pearls are always perfectly sweet and chewy read more

Very bad customer service I ordered one flavor of bubble tea and they made me something else. I told them that and they insisted I ordered the flavor they gave me. My companion was there and she was sure that I ordered the flavor I wanted. Despite this they didn't make any effort to make things right. Long story short in this business the customer is never right as a result they will loose me as a customer and I ask that if you arr reading this and you value good customer service that you do not give them your patronage. read more

Nope, not gonna return to this store. The customer service was horrible, he is not friendly at all and didn't even greet customer or at least say thank you. The drinks was extremely sweet. At least they are cheap but if i spend 20 cents more to buy a tastier milk tea from Share Tea. I would do it. $20 wasted to this store read more
