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!

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.

OG milk tea, honey boba, 50% sweetness, regular ice
Kristy N.

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?

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!

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.

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!

Stargirl ($6)

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.

Blushing  Dragon
Esperanza D.

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

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!

Shop is cute and service is good. Drinks were okay. Definitely not organic or natural flavors, so if you're looking for that, try Bobae.

What a pleasant surprise! I loved the vibe inside. I ordered a qamaria latte, beef pasty and…read morepistachio cake. Everything was delicious. I would recommend less than normal sugar for latte (my personal preference) but it was delicious. How awesome to have Turkish coffee and cardamom flavors in Redmond! It is a slower paced location, not exactly the super quick Starbucks run. But so worth it!

Qemaria has a really nice lounge vibe. The space is comfortable and relaxed, the kind of place you…read morecould easily park yourself at for a few hours to get some work done. If you are looking for a spot to set up your laptop and chill, this could be your go to. That said, the service was on the slower side. I ordered ahead on the app thinking it would speed things up, but when I arrived they had not even started on my order yet. Then the drinks themselves took a while to make on top of that. The staff is mostly college students and they are friendly enough, but the workflow could definitely use some tightening up. On to the drinks. The matcha latte was just okay, nothing that really stood out. I have a feeling this place is better known for something else, probably their Yemeni coffee or tea, so I would recommend exploring that side of the menu instead. One thing to note on the tea though: it came out extremely hot. We had an accident where it tipped over and burnt my friend's hand. Mostly our fault, but just something to be mindful of when you are getting settled in. Parking wise, I believe there is a lot in the back which is a nice bonus. Overall a solid spot for the ambiance even if the drinks and service are still finding their footing.
