Cute bobalust location in Burien! Staff is super friendly, chill, and made our drinks fast. I got the Honeydew Milk Tea and my partner got the Legend of Momo. Honeydew Milk Tea was fruity and creamy, not too sweet at 100%. Legend of Momo was less sweet as recommended by the cashier and it was perfect! Lots of parking and seating inside too. read more

Every single bobalust location I've ever visited has made great drinks with even sweeter customer service, and this one is no different! I'm always so surprised by how friendly and helpful the employees are, no matter which spot I visit! They're doing a great job with hiring great folks. Drinks are sweet and creative without any of that overwhelming artificial flavor, and I love all the pop culture references in the names. There is also a secret menu that the employees are open to sharing and making recommendations from if you share your flavor preferences with them! I'm always looking for excuses to visit Bobalust and I highly recommend you do too! read more

Ordered the OG Milk Tea with honey boba (since it was my first time here), no modifications. Their boba was perfectly soft and chewy. Tea was delicious and sweet (but not overly sweet). Friendly staff, huge and bright space; seemed very clean. Plenty of seating if you're looking for a spot to catch up with friends. Lots of parking because it's in the large plaza but on the other side from Safeway and UPS. No complaints at all. Will be back! read more

BobaLust is really expanding!! They recently opened a Burien location - it's located in the Safeway plaza, in a building that's two doors down from the L&L hawaiian bbq. My friend said that the spot used to be a former Starbucks. The space inside is really nice and modern with lots of beautiful plants. The menu is the same as the other locations and they've got lots of tasty options. My friend ordered their taro milk tea with boba and I ordered the Legend of Momo which is this delicious peach tea drink with pieces of peach on the bottom. Very sweet and very refreshing. The place opens promptly at 1p (which feels a little late - it would be nice if they opened at noon for the lunching hour. The staff is efficient and churns out those drinks. Parking is easy since it's a big shopping plaza. I'm really happy to see Burien finally get a legit boba shop in the area! read more

First time at the Burien location and glad to see it was busy, given that the Tukwila location isn't too far away from here. I have been to the Tukwila and Tacoma locations before, so when comparing the interior, the Burien location is more spacious if you are looking to bring in a group of friends to hang out. Came in around 8:00-8:10PM and left around 8:30PM, which isn't too bad given there were more than five groups ahead of us with only two (maybe three) people working. We ordered the Lychee Bomb (lychee and strawberry with bits of strawberries and lychee jelly) and Blue Lagoon (blue curaçao lychee shaken green tea with mango jelly and added tapioca for an additional $0.50). They originally forgot to add the tapioca to the Blue Lagoon, but once we brought it up to them, they were kind and quick about fixing it for us! read more

My boyfriend & I came here pretty late in the evening so we got the smoothies. It's definitely a cute place, but a little noisy with how loud the music was blaring haha. I got the Taro and Oreo blended (Purple Galaxy) which was just ok. I'm not a picky person when it comes to food/drinks, but I didn't find anything about it super special. I tried my boyfriend's smoothie which was blended peach, mango, and strawberry (Cuddles on the Beach) & we both thought it was pretty good!

I was excited to see a Bobalust had opened in Burien and decided to stop in when I was in the area. Bobalust's menu isn't as overwhelming as some tea shops, but there is still enough to choose from that I spent some time asking the counter person plenty of questions, all of which she kindly answered and gave recommendations. I went with a Stargirl (jasmine green tea with raspberry peach flavor and mango jelly). I added some mango bits and asked for zero sweetness since the syrup makes it sweet enough for me. The shop is clean and modern, with enough spare and seating to enjoy your bevvy onsite if you like. read more

Finally, they opened one of these boba places in Burien. It being a small area it doesn't get that much attention. This Bobalust is located right off the highway and right across Safeway. Their hours are slightly annoying though since the store opens normally at 2pm which is the reason I haven't got to go as much as I wanted. Their drinks first off amazing. Definitely speak with the front end people and get a feel of the sugar levels if you don't want your drink to taste like diabetes. Lastly, the workers are totally welcoming to whoever walks in being a small location; they seem to have everything under control. The female working at the cash register was nice to recommend the suggested sugar levels and drinks. We even had a good conversation about being relatively new to the neighborhood. Overall, a good experience and would definitely recommend! read more

I met up with one of my cousins today and she told me that a new Boba shop opened up near her home. She said it was called Bobalust. I know they have a location in Kent but I haven't been to that one either. I decided to stop by the Burien location before heading home and they were pretty busy. I think word is getting out that they're now open because there were a lot of people ahead of me and a steady flow of customers that came in behind me. Staff is really friendly and welcoming. The shop is super cute and festive with Halloween decorations. I hope they continue to decorate with the upcoming holidays. I had the Strawberry Seduction. It was good but I couldn't finish it. Shocker...lol I can never finish these large drinks. Burien needed a Boba shop and now they have one. Why drive to Southcenter for bubble tea when you now have a convenient location at one of the busiest intersections of Burien. read more

Quick, great service, and yummy selection of drinks. You can make your own flavor combination, or choose a pre-made combo which gives you quite a few choices. Including smoothie choices. My drink was really good. I especially enjoyed how it wasn't overly sweet! Great bang for your buck, especially in the summer. Very clean and modern interior. However, the statements about the inside getting really hot, are accurate. My friend and I intended on having our drinks inside, but after 10 mins of the blaring sun at our table, we decided to leave. Kind of a bummer. There is also a small selection of tables and chairs for how big the space is. read more

I actually had to park behind the building then look at other Yelp reviews to find out that there is parking on gravel near their dumpsters closest to LaShaun Daye Hair. Though I don't know if the parking lot where this building and E Marginal Way meet can also be used...street parking in this area was scarce, contrary to most Yelp reviews I've read. Anyway, I came to an empty but very chill interior with several tables and window seating, along with some semi-quiet VPop playing near the front counter to the right-hand side of the entrance. There's a small flower display along with the cafe logo a little to the back which is perfect to take photo ops with your drink and food like I did. The menu is above the front counter and - as their logo says - they specialize in banh mi and coffee, though they have some matcha and soup options among others. Staff at the front were very quick at making my coffee as I was the only one inside. I got their 16oz egg coffee, which is one of their best sellers according to the asterisk on their menu next to the name of the drink. Very strong phin-dripped Vietnamese coffee along with condensed milk and an egg foam that gave a sweet, creamy taste to the already bitter coffee at the bottom. Drinking the egg foam first, it's a nice, thick custard-like format that the coffee does not overtake, which is good since other places I've had don't have that kind of balance. My next trip back here will have to be for another one of their coffee drinks and their banh mi sandwiches as well. I can already hear my friend telling me to get one right now as I'm writing this up!

I've been wanting to try this place since I first heard of it…read more GETTING THERE: It seems tucked away in Tukwila, but it's actually extremely easy to get to and not to far off the exit from Hwy 599 coming from South Center. It's maybe about 2-3 min off the Interurban Ave exit. After a couple left turns, it's right on the corner of a 4-way stop. You can't miss it. PARKING: The place isn't very big but there is plenty of street parking available. There's also a small lot by the convenience store nearby. AMBIANCE: It's a very small place with Vietnamese decor and an aquarium. It was giving vibes of the sunroom at my aunt's house Vietnamese music playing in the background haha. There are limited seats if you choose to sit and enjoy your coffee. They have a couple tables on the side, or you can sit on the stools along the window. I think the place felt a little empty. It could use a couple more tables and chairs along the window instead of the stools. This layout kind of felt like a Baskin Robbins or a small local ice cream shop. SERVICE: I didn't see anyone at first when I walked in, but there was someone to ready to take my order by the time I got to the counter. She took my order then I took a seat at the table until she called me to grab me from my order. Not much else for service. FOOD: I mainly went here for the coffee, but I figured I should try the sandwich while I was there. I ordered the bánh mì đặc biệt (house special sandwich) and the cà phê trứng (egg coffee). The sandwich to me was alright at best. The flavors were unbalanced. I mostly tasted the chả over the other cuts and the meat was pretty cold. I get that it's called a "cold cut" for a reason, but it was really cold and kind of threw off the sandwich. The bread would've been better toasted, or at least have the option to toast it. The one thing I enjoyed was the amount of pate used. The coffee on the other hand was decent. I've been in search of more places that serve egg coffee and I usually get it every chance I get. I found it a bit weird that it comes iced. I usually get an option to choose if I want it hot or cold. It didn't specify on the menu and I was never asked. So I just assumed it was not iced because the only thing that was iced was the cà phê sữa đá. Well I was wrong... The egg part was super thick, fluffy, and creamy. It was the right amount of sweetness and saltiness too. Honestly it might be the best egg cream I've had on a coffee, but it would have been much better if the coffee was warm. I just think egg coffee should be served hot. It's a personal preference. The ice keeps the egg cream on top and I can't really mix the whole thing evenly. I would've enjoyed it more if every sip was a even mixture of egg cream and coffee. OVERALL: At the end of the day, I enjoyed this place. There are a couple small improvements that would've changed my experience. I did enjoy the coffee and that's what I originally came for. The sandwich honestly wasn't bad, but I think I would try the thịt nướng next time. Some places just do one or the other better. I think it's harder the get the cold cut sandwich right vs the grilled pork. Overall it's a nice little meet up spot and I would come back again just for the egg coffee.

I got here at 11 and there was a line if 10 people with every table full. The line doe move quick, but be prepared to eat outside (or take it to go) during peak times. I got the smashwich and fruity pebbles rice krispy. We also got the matcha shokupan donut to share. Everything was excellent. The house made sausage patty on the smashwich complemented the whole sandwich well; it was crispy, fatty with amazing flavor. Pro tip if you have the passport app you can save 20% off! Only downside - I think their space is somewhat awkward for seating and overall flow. However they are doing what they can with what they have so it's not a knock on them per se, just putting it out there that the flow is a little off especially when busy.

Breakfast sandwich was the perfect balance of spice and texture (with the perfect runny yolk and…read morecrunch from the hash brown). The biscuit was good but I wish they gave you the option to warm it up. The rice krispie s'mores was not too sweet and the density was just right. I wish they did smaller sizes so you could try the different flavors or a smaller option. The brown butter bourbon latte had just the right amount of carmely, richness to it. I wish the service was more consistent. The first cashier seemed upset and wasn't very friendly. The second when I ordered coffee was much more pleasant.

This is probably added to my top favorite coffee spots now. Unfortunately I don't live near here but if I did I would be where weekly to study. Coffee was delicious and I am really lucky with my coffee. Customer service was a little "Off" they didn't greet us she just walked to the register. I asked for my muffin to be warmed up she said ok but didn't do it. But honestly good coffee and comfy seating I will be back. I'm assuming they aren't the owner just the workers so I won't let that ruin it for me. But a nice good morning to greet customers would be appreciated for a nice coffee spot like this. Also plenty of parking which I like.

I heard that their coffee is great, but we didn't have a chance to order any amidst the hustle of the elderly women working hard to serve all of the children. We look forward to returning to sample their coffee, perhaps purchase some additional Italian fare (pastas, etc.!) and tour the building's historic photographs some more.

Having already known the location, the biggest perk is the ample parking lot! There are plenty of parking stalls. So much so that they have sectioned off a good area of their front parking area and turned it into covered seating. A plus for sure! Walking into the shop, you are immediately hit with the wonderful smell of espresso and the sounds of that espresso being made. There are signs on the floor indicating the 6 foot covid protocol. There were a few people in front of us in the line which gave us time to peruse the chalkboard menu and take in the brand new surrounding espresso shop. There is a small countertop bakery case showcasing panini's and all their baked goods. Staff is very friendly, answered all our questions and served us pretty quickly. There is an area where t-shirts and merchandise are for sale, a bar on the wall where you can have your espresso/coffee with soothing Italian music playing in the background. I originally went in for the cannoli, but left with a Panino Fresco, cannoli and a Nutella croissant. Took them home to share, and all were fantastic! I am really excited for spring and summer to begin so my friends and I can make this our Saturday morning hangout! My only suggestion for this great little place is maybe get some planters set outside in your seating area to dim the traffic noise a little bit, and more importantly, get your liquor license! This spot will be perfect for sipping a refreshing Spritz, Prosecco and/or Bellinis!

Finally made it to Phe after seeing all the debate about which café has the best matcha in Seattle…read more For me, this one takes the top spot--easily the best matcha I've had in Seattle so far. What I really loved is that the matcha isn't overwhelmed by milk. The tea itself is the star, giving it a rich, balanced flavor that really shines through. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I also loved the cute décor and drinkware--it adds to the overall experience. During my visits, I tried the banana pudding matcha, the sesame foam Vietnamese coffee, and the hojicha. Everything was excellent, and I'd happily order any of them again. They also offer a small selection of bites to pair with your drink. I didn't try any myself, but my friend enjoyed what they ordered. Seating is limited, especially on weekends, but it's also the perfect place to grab a drink to go. I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it to any matcha lover.

We ordered the matcha banana pudding and hojicha ginger tofu pudding lattes. Service took ~10 mins. The matcha banana pudding was yummy. The matcha was of good quality and the banana pudding top was a smooth, cream top that tasted just like banana pudding, with a fun crunch in the topping. The hojicha ginger tofu was a bit more adventurous in flavor. The ginger and tofu messed with my brain and made it feel like I was drinking a savory asian sauce/soup, but the drink was still sweet. I kept sipping, but the strange savory/sweet limbo never really balanced correctly to truly enjoy the drink. On the plus side, the silken tofu was fun to sip through the straw and added some protein. There is seating indoors, but the tables can fill up quickly. Some people were wfh, but most were chatting. There is 1 hr complimentary WiFi. Typical Seattle street parking. Overall, the latte flavors were fun to try and it was an aesthetic cafe. But, the prices for the lattes make them more of a novel, hyped up purchase.

Salty’s at the SEA

Today wasn't the travel day I had planned. While on a work trip, I received some difficult news and…read morehad to cut the trip short and head home. Before my flight, I decided to stop at Salty's for breakfast. I'm a sucker for crab, but I wasn't especially hungry, so I ordered a cup of the chowder with crab. It turned out to be one of the best cups of chowder I've ever had--rich, flavorful, and loaded with crab. I sat at the bar, where Joyce took great care of me. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made an otherwise difficult day a little easier. Great service can make a real difference, and she absolutely delivered. Salty's isn't the cheapest dining option at SEA, but between the quality of the food, the relaxed atmosphere, and the outstanding service, I think it's well worth it. If you're looking for a great meal before your flight, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

Rich, loaded with clams, easily the best thing on the table. Fries were also solid. The halibut fish & chips ($46 for three pieces) was the letdown. The fish was over-fried to the point that it fell apart as I ate it -- disappointing for a fish of that quality at that price. Halibut should hold together in firm, flaky pieces; this didn't. But the real issue was the service. What made it impossible to write off as a busy day was that my server was attentive to the table right next to me -- she asked the gentleman beside me how his meal was and refilled his water, while mine sat clearly empty and I was never checked on once. No introduction, no recommendations, no plates cleared. When I asked for something as simple as pepper, I got attitude, like I was putting her out. I typically tip 25%. I left 15% and honestly felt that was generous for what I received. At these prices, the food needs to be executed properly and the service needs to match. The chowder alone isn't enough to carry a $60+ meal. Would I come back? Maybe for a cup of chowder at the bar. Not for the full experience.

Another thing I appreciated was how clean and comfortable the space felt. The bathrooms were well maintained, the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, and there were plenty of people working quietly around me. Overall, a great café for both getting work done and enjoying a quality drink.

All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!
