    Lychee Green Tea with Boba
    Elisa N.

    I absolutely love this place and would highly recommend it! The atmosphere is bright, fun, and spacious! They have a huge selection of games to choose from (must ask the front) and their drinks have a wide variety. I got their Lychee Green Tea with Boba and it's so good! Parking is easy, around a center and the service is quick and simple. Love this place!

    OG milk tea, honey boba, 50% sweetness, regular ice

    My favorite place to get my classic black milk tea. The tapioca is amazing, specifically the honey boba. This establishment is always consistent with the flavor and service for the customers which I thoroughly appreciate. It is also nice that it is open pretty late, perfect for a late night craving. I don't really stay in the store, I just order and leave (quick service!), but it seems like a nice place to hang out with friends; I've even seen some people study here, so maybe that is something to consider.

    I wish I had discovered this place earlier, Darn! The vibe is simply amazing, the service is excellent, they play some great music and provide some great selection of fun games to enjoy. We ordered: 1) MANGO MILK TEA: The mango milk tea with boba and mango jelly offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Overall, it's a delicious and satisfying beverage. 2) STRAWBERRY SEDUCTION: This smoothie has the perfect balance of the classic sweetness of vanilla with the vibrant, fruity notes of strawberry. This drink is sure to please anyone. What else could you ask for?

    From left to right: secret menu item, boba milk tea with custard and boba, honeydew slush with boba, Thai tea with boba, blue lagoon.

    Delicious drinks. Yummy, soft boba. Great service. Would definitely come back. We tried a variety of drinks from milk teas to smoothies and everything was so good! Taro tea with boba and custard was 10/10 (this is my go to at all boba shops). They have cute star shaped jellies/fruit which is such a fun detail! Everyone was pleased with their drinks.

    BobaLust had really great boba. I ordered a Lychee green tea, 0% sweet and loved it. Any additional sweet would have been too much as it was quite sweet on its own. The service was friendly and prompt, and the seating very plentiful. We sipped our teas quickly and then headed out to grab a bite. I will definitely be coming back to BobaLust!

    I'm a classic OG boba person who defaults to 25% sweet light ice -- the counter guy suggested no sweet (and have the boba balls carry the sweetness of the tea) and it was the perfect rec. Also the space is fun and welcoming, great community space they created! Visiting from Tahoe by way of NYC and SF (and Taiwan) - great spot, great tea, lucky for Bellevue folks!

    Lots of love for BobaLust! This is now one of my top places to grab a tea. They have several unique signature teas, smoothies and slushies, most of which include fruit bits or jelly. I love the names... Legend of Momo, Lychee Bomb and Cuddles on the Beach all sounded delicious to me. If you want a more traditional drink, you can select from their menu of milk teas and original teas. Two employees managed ordering and crafting the drinks. The employee we spoke with was knowledgeable about the menu and had such a cheerful attitude which we appreciated. Since we inquired about the sweetness levels of our drinks, he offered samples of them at 0% sugar so that we could let him know if we wanted more sweetener. Surprisingly at 0%, our teas were bursting with fruit flavor and we didn't see a need to alter them. It was very generous of him to provide the samples and is something that makes BobaLust stand out amongst its competitors. I got their specialty STARGIRL ($6), which was a shaken raspberry peach green tea with mango bits (jelly). This was SO refreshing with bright fruitiness and juiciness from the mango bits! Additionally, they perfectly executed my request for light ice. I enjoyed every sip. At any other shop, I typically would have ordered boba, but I didn't miss it at all with this drink. I also couldn't help but notice that some of the mango bits were cut into star shapes - what a cute detail! My companion enjoyed an ORIGINAL LYCHEE BLACK TEA ($5) with boba (+$0.75). She said it had a strong lychee flavor and the boba was nice and firm as opposed to being soft. Their teas are on the more fruity side and dominate the actual flavor of the tea, but I didn't mind too much since I was more than happy with my drink. I'd definitely stop by whenever I'm in the area to try more of their signature creations.

    6 stars!!!! I've been in several boba and so far this is my favorite: Flavors wise The friendliness The place is clean It's fun! I felt safe (lovely neighborhood) We definitely will come back to play board games and enjoy the milk tea. I'd say summer time is the best time. There's a lot of parking spots. Since it was our first time here, we went through the menu, mainly they have slushies, smoothies, milk teas. The original milk tea is out of this world!!! The cherry on top was when I placed my order they helped me with the level of sweetness. They delivered an amazing Blushing Dragon!! For the Pokémon lovers, take a look to their furry decorations. PS: next to BobaLust there are other stores conveniently close (Barthel, grocery outlet, ACE, gyms)

    Drinks tend to be sweet if ordering "regular" so adjust your sugar levels! Otherwise great fruit flavors and tapioca boba texture 5/5 Raspberry peach was super refreshing. Was advised it's already sweet so did 0% additional sugar. This was delicious 4/5 the blue curaçao lychee was pretty good but it kept reminding me of a non alcoholic AMF cocktail. Similarly with existing syrups did 0% additional sugar Cute place to hang out and meet friends. There are free board games to borrow and cute Pokémon plushies for decor

    Stargirl peach and raspberry tea

    The place has great ambience, friendly staff. We came on Monday afternoon during the holidays, it was empty! Our drinks got served immediately, they have a great selection of fruity drinks. We got the star girl tea and it was pretty good. The place started filling up after we came. There were also cute plushies! Overall it was a good boba shop.

    I came here with my daughter for a Yelp Elite Experience and bought her a Taro Milk Tea with Honey Boba. She really enjoyed this drink and I enjoyed mine as well. I had the Stawberry Seduction. This Kirkland location of the rapidly expanding Bobalust is very tastefully decorated and has a large interior area. There are games behind the counter for customers to borrow. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Very considerate as well. Thanks Bobalust for being great!

    I have been to Bobae in Woodinville in the past, but this is my first time at the Kirkland…read morelocation. This store is a cute and small, order and go venue. 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.

    Finally got to try bobae and it lived up to the hype! The service was super friendly and I liked…read morethe interior as well. I got their strawberry matcha latte and it was a nice balance! I got it less sweet because the strawberry already makes it pretty sweet. It was about $8 which is sadly the standard for matcha these days. Next time I'll have to try their pink boba
