    Blue lagoon and summer sun

    Boba lust is my go-to! The service is the best, hands down. The service is so kind, they will always ask you how your day is going and some small talk to really get to know their customers every time. The ambiance is so cute. It is very welcoming, calm and vibes. The drink options are the best and so refreshing. I like how they offer their best drinks with pictures and you can always adjust your sweetness levels. Thank you so much and I look forward to going in all the time. Parking is big. You can enter many ways from either side of the complex.

    I had lunch nearby and decided to stop by to try the drinks at BobaLust. As always, I start off my first visit to any new-to-me boba shop with either the signature/house milk tea, or the black milk tea if the former isn't available. BobaLust does have an "OG Milk Tea" so I went with that. OG Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Honey Boba ($6.36) - This drink is extremely sweet even at 50% sweetness - it's probably around full sweetness or possibly 150% when compared to average boba shop. There's an almost fruity taste to the drink, not sure if it's from the tea or sweetener. The drink itself is thicker, so quite a bit of creamer is used to build bulk. The honey boba definitely has that classic honey boba texture - an exterior that has a certain stickiness that keeps keeps the skin of the boba together well. Unfortunately, the boba is quite a bit harder than I normally like. I'm a big fan of what a honey soak does to boba texture - this place just needs a longer cook time and the boba would be fantastic. I think if I had gotten the drink at 10% sweetness, the drink might have been better. But as it stands, it's just way too sweet with hard boba and I can't give the drink higher than a 3. To be honest, I was debating giving it a 2, but with how rare it is to find honey boba outside of California, I bumped it up. On another note, BobaLust claims they use a special tea extractor to maximize the tea flavor. Other boba shops that use espresso machines or similar to brew tea usually have many varieties of high quality teas. The fact that BobaLust has such a small tea menu and generically labels things as black and green tea makes me very suspicious about the brand identity of this chain. Why spend money on a more sophisticated brewing method when BobaLust is more like a generic pre-brew-in-large-batches type of shop?

    Went during the grand opening weekend so inevitably the place is clean. Friendly staff as well. They should consider some music and board games to keep customers preoccupied if they want to stay. No complaints about the boba either! They can substitute slushie/milk tea with non-dairy (like oat milk). My favorite is the Purple Galaxy! You can never go wrong with it!

    Happy to see a bobalust in my area finally. Been coming to this location since they opened up in Lynnwood. The Legend of Momo always hits. Today, I decided to get the Thai Green Tea and then came back again to get the Thai Tea. Solid drinks with the option to adjust sweetness and ice. Great options of toppings to go in your drinks as well. Service is fantastic and friendly. They're very helpful and bring out the order super fast. The decor is very clean, vibrant, and I appreciate the green plants that accents the room. Definitely will be returning here with friends to hang and chill again. Solid!

    Cute hangout spot! Service was quick and friendly. I got the Wintermelon Milk Tea with Sea Salt Cream and Boba and it was good! I'm excited to try their other drinks.

    A cute boba spot with a variety of flavors! I loved the star-shaped fruits in the drinks--such a fun touch. The place is tidy, the service is quick, and the drinks are super refreshing. The mango drink was my favorite. Definitely worth a visit if you are near alderwood mall!

    A very solid boba spot tucked across from alderwood mall and target. We love the interior with all the beautiful plants. Service is very good and they even bring your drink to your table. Happy to support this lovely business.

    I love boba so I am more than open to trying new boba places. Unfortunately my experience was not the best. Upon almost finishing my drink there was a hair in it. I post this so that the staff making the drink maybe can put their hair back so that this does not happen again.

    drinks were great!! super flavorful and not overly sweet! big layout inside and even had some games to play while you're sipping on your drink!

    Purple Galaxy

    Amazing slushes! Tried the Lychee Bomb and Sunburst so good! Trying the Purple Galaxy right now and it's the perfect blend of Taro and chocolate. You need to try them this summer! Service was amazing, each time I have went everyone was so nice and it's really clean.

    Taro milk tea and back milk tea with boba

    Just stopped by BobaLust while passing through town and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is so fun and chill. I loved all of the plants. I believe we were served by the owner and he was so friendly and engaged. He made great recommendations and even made sure to have us try our drinks before we left to ensure we were happy with the sweetness levels. I ordered the taro milk tea half sweet and it was just right. The boba were nice and chewy, just how I like them. The only note I have would be that the tables in the lobby don't feel too stable.

    Love how bobalust opened up in Lynnwood. Convenient location next to the mall with good parking. Lots of seating and friendly service. The drink was great, I just didn't like the size and texture of the boba. It felt like half the size compared to other places and was flat tasting. I'd come back though.

    Oreo and black sugar
    J T.

    My Black sugar drink was delicious. The tea could be stronger. I should've asked for less sugar. My friend said his taro smoothie was powdery and not well blended. 2/5 but really you should expect and want that from a taro drink... Excellent speedy service Beautifully clean shop

    Just saying this up front: New favorite boba shop in Seattle…read more Nut allergy friendly: The employees checked on everything for me, so that was appreciated. Parking: No issues in the strip mall. Time to Order: 7 Minutes We stopped into Tobi's on the way home from a failed fishing trip up north and were craving something sweet. Holy moly, what a hidden gem. I tried the creme brulee pearl latte (my friend's which he ordered by accident) and the dalgona honeycomb toffee latte with boba (my drink). The creme brulee pearl latte was probably the best creme brulee drink I've ever had. I usually avoid these because they're overly sweet, but this one actually hit all of the notes of smokiness, creaminess, and flavor without overpowering sweetness. Actually impressive. The dalgona honeycomb toffee latte was phenomenal. Strong coffee flavor (which means a lot coming from me - only Vietnamese coffee affects me anymore, I have a strong caffeine tolerance) and the toffee is a great topping that retains its texture even after the drink is completed. The boba texture was perfect in a cold drink, the toppings were unique, and the drinks were excellent. Highly recommend as a hidden gem.

The girls at the front were so friendly and nice - they made my experience great. Service was incredibly fast. The drink was ready before I even finished paying! I got the toffee milk tea with matcha jelly at 30% sugar and 70% ice. This was the IDEAL combination. Perfectly sweet with a hint of the bitterness from the tea. The matcha jelly was firm and earthy, I broke it up with the straw and it was the perfect topping. One of the best milk teas I've had in a while. I will definitely be back to try their other flavors. I'm a huge fan of the tea jelly toppings and it's so refreshing on a hot day.

    Absolutely great tea house. You can order at a kiosk or at the cashier's station…read more I got the Golden Buckwheat Tea Latte (L, 10% sugar, 30% ice, boba) and the House Blend Pearl Milk Tea (L, 10% sugar, 30% ice, comes with boba). The boba here is perfectly chewy and sweetened. I am not much of a jelly person, but they're pretty good too. I once got a drink with both boba and jelly and it didn't leave much room for the tea, so I have to limit myself to one topping now! The black tea is slightly muted with the milk there, so that there's no astringency. The buckwheat tea has a pretty strong toasty buckwheat flavor. Yum! Initially, when this business opened, parking was horrible with people jousting for street parking (with an already busy Goodwill down the street) and people parking at the plaza across the street (which will get you towed). Now that the hype has died down, you can use the Ember parking garage around the corner, although it's kind of annoying to park in.

Fortunately, there was no traffic so it was a 20 min drive easily. However, a lot seemed to have changed from about a year ago? We got popcorn chicken which was $9 for a very tiny plate (like the medium size sampler food container you get at food tasting events) which is a joke of a portion, and the chicken was not even good quality - heavy on the batter. Compared to pictures a year ago, where the portions looked much much larger. They are so stingy on the amount of chicken, that I thought they were giving us a sample to try before they make a real batch lmaooooo. I tried the Kocochi milk tea with creme brulee, boba, jelly, etc. Sounds good on paper, inflation I get it, was expecting $7 but it was $8, plus tax, so it is actually not that competitive of a price anymore now that I think about it. I could get a very good quality boba drink for $7.50+tax elsewhere without all the fancy toppings, but with boba included. I was pretty disappointed with the quality. The boba is so overcooked that it is mushy, and the creme brulee was not thick enough that I have to use a spoon to even be able to get any of it out (instead of being able to drink it from the other side which is what it is supposed to be). I'd avoid this place unless this is a one off but I will need to be redeemed a better experience before recommending this place. There are better options in the area

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #62…read more Sharetea is one of those franchises that can really vary in quality between locations. I'm usually hesitant to visit because I find a lot of them to be below average, but decided to give this one a try anyways. Classic Black Milk Tea, 50% Sugar, Less Ice w/ Boba ($5.80) - As with most Sharetea locations, the milk tea here is exceptionally rich with powdered creamer. It's almost a little too much, with a creamer taste that almost completely overwhelms the tea, not to mention the drink leaving a film on the tongue with each sip. Still, it's smooth rather than being gritty, a sign of everything being well incorporated. Sharetea is quite generous with the toppings, giving a lot of pretty decent boba. They are very consistent in size and shape and have a good chew that bounces back quite readily. It's among the best textures for boba I've found in a US based Sharetea. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 I found this Sharetea to be one of the better locations I've been to. There are other boba shops in the area that I'd choose over Sharetea, but it's certainly not a bad visit. Bathrooms - IIRC one unisex room

I've…read moredefinitely had my fair share of bad experiences at other Shareteas throughout the years, but this location is pretty solid!! RARELY do I have an issue and usually the issue is that I got a bit more ice than I would have liked, but other than that, delicious drinks, the staff are all fairly young yet very nice and efficient! I've been helped by the owner as well and he is such a sweet man! :) I've been to this location honestly, over 100 times, I love my milk tea! As of recently, they now have their own app with a new point system where you can also order ahead of time AND they now have a self order kiosk as well as a person at the register!
