I was really blown away by the selection of teas that they have here. They have a book with their…read moreselection near the cashier for you to browse. I was overwhelmed with their options and had trouble picking one as so many sounded so delicious. There is truly a tea for everyone's taste buds. Upon entering they have some of their teas that they sell on display for you to sniff. They also have samples as well for people to try. Staff were very kind and the service was very quick considering how many people were in line. I tried one of their white teas and it was delicious. I'm not a tea connoisseur but you could really taste all of the flavors in the description of the tea. It was very light. I definitely want to come back to try other teas. I really like the ambiance/design of the place. There are many seats for people to study and/or hang out. It was super busy on a Saturday though and we barely were able to get a seat inside. Luckily we were though, because enjoying the tea in their space was lovely.

This is a really nice and popular spot in Ballard! I came on a rainy day and it was packed - we…read morealmost didn't find a seat and were about to leave but got lucky last minute. I got the seasonal kinako matcha with soy milk - the drink was pricey at over $10, but that's almost the standard nowadays. I really like the kinako flavor though I didn't really taste the matcha itself. They also have tea samples which I really liked too. A good spot to chill and work at if not too busy!

I've been coming here for quite a long time but unfortunately I'm not sure if I still like it as…read moremuch as I used to. Food & drink: (3/5) I've been a loyal lover of the milk cream strawberry since my very first visit, but for some reason it just isn't as good as I remember it being. I would say it's just fine now that I've noticed that they've gotten more watered down. I do enjoy that they still use fresh fruit, but would probably only come back if I was invited by a friend. My partner still really likes his usual which is the mango pomelo sago. I think it's one of their best sellers and is a pretty safe order if you don't know what to get. We didn't get any this time, but I do like their mochi. If you've acquired the taste, the durian mochi is solid. Service: (5/5) Ordering is mostly done through the kiosk at the front but I still appreciate how fast they get things out.

ughhhhh NEW FAVORITE MATCHA SPOT i am obsessed!!…read more ok so what makes atulea so special is that you can fully customize your drink OR choose from their incredibly creative specials (both options are serving so hard). the flavor combinations they come up with are inspired, unique, creative and you can tell there's real intention behind the menu. first visit i got the black sesame matcha with lychee jellies and it was HEAVENLY. the flavors, the texture, the balance chefs kiss mmm perfect. second visit i went with the ube matcha latte and mmm, so so good. rich and cozy and gorgeous. yes, it's a little on the pricier side. but the quality of the matcha and the creativity of the drinks make it feel completely worth every penny to me. this place is a gem and seattle is lucky to have it.

If you order Matcha or Hojicha (roasted green tea and my favorite) you can watch them make it to order. I like the Hojicha iced Americano with boba, the black sesame latte and the strawberry latte (they make their own strawberry purée) 3. The staff is always friendly and they have a good selection of milks. 2% or whole milk for the dairy folks. And soy, oat, almond or coconut for the nondairy folks.

19 Gold is hands-down my go-to restaurant for take-out in Fremont. I crave their hot and uniquely…read morespiced broth (fair warning, even the mild is a bit spicy, but the mild is perfect for those that love a savory spice in their food). You can't go wrong with either the original or super rich broth- I honestly switch back and forth depending on my mood. I order the mala udon every time, as I love the thick and chewy udon noodles paired with thinly shaved beef, cabbage, and quail egg. The malatang soup dumplings are yummy as well. Whenever I do dine in, the service is fast, and I like the Yelp queuing system so if there is a long wait, you can keep on eye on your place in line while you do some shopping nearby. The place is small, but cozy, and always seems to be close to full no matter the time of year. I've not had their boba, but that seems to be popular as well. Convenient location right across the street from the Lenin statue in the heart of Fremont. Quite a few bus routes within a few minutes walk!

We start with beef noodle soup. I think this is ok dish. I prefer beef with a bit fat. The second dish is the popcorn chicken. Which is the good five spice marinate is good. We also got steam pork belly but I think we can skip dish. The beef with scallions is good and tasty. The three cup chicken needs to be more wine in it. Other than that all is good.

The milk…read morereally helps temper the bitterness of the tea (along with the sugar, haha) but the astringency of the tea is there along with the malty flavor of the tea. The boba is the perfect chewy texture - not too hard or too soft. I did not try any of their sandwiches (there's so many other yummy options near by!) but it seems like they were selling at a decent clip. If I had to identify a weakness, it would be that a lot of times it seems like they have supply chain issues. They did not have lactose-free milk when I visited the past few times. I hope they work things out! I would have purchased two drinks if I could have substituted the dairy for lactose free.

Everything was generously spaced out and looked sparkling clean - THANK YOU I came up to the register and the gal was so sweet, offering up suggestions and masterfully navigating me through the top sellers (I'm a bit of a newb with bubble tea). I expressed I liked milk tea and she recommended the Osmanthus milk tea with Golden Honey boba. She said their standard was 50% sweetness and less ice. I ordered her reco and was super happy I did. One thing to note is that this drink was pretty $$$. Around $7 for a medium...however, now is the time to try because they're upgrading you to a large size on the house!

Cute spot further down CapHill with a super friendly, passionate owner. They have 8 mochi donut…read moreflavors at a time. He had small sample cups at the front and was clearly excited about each of his flavors. They've also brought the gacha cups (random toys at the tearable bottom of a cup) to the Seattle area. Boba isn't anything special but the service and promising donuts are bonus points and worth the visit. Wintermelon Milk Tea w/ Boba - a classic wintermelon. Very sweet and refreshing. Unfortunately no sugar adjustments because I think wintermelon tea is sweet enough by itself. Boba was chewy and lightly marinated but a bit firm, hinting at being left out rather than undercooked. Room to improve but it's not a specialty boba spot which I'll acknowledge.

Super adorable store with an aesthetic to match! Originally I came here to try their mochi donuts…read morebut honestly, coming here for a weekend to just get some pictures with the donut backdrop and other store decorations doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. On the other wall there are some chairs set up with plush blind boxes that could definitely be used as props too. Aesthetic aside, I got these donuts to go so I'll definitely need to come back and try these donuts day off since next day donuts don't do it enough justice. The frosting on top of the cookies and creme donut is pretty thick-- dense white chocolate with just sprinkles of Oreo crumbs. For the chocolate donut I'm not sure what the topping is but it's a thinner and richer coat of chocolate compared to the cookies and cream. I instantly devoured them but haven't tried the other yet. I'm strongly looking forward to black sesame one!

Very similar to Molly tea, I first tried Chayan in Vancouver, BC so I was thrilled when I learned…read morethat Chayan opened so close to where I work. I've tried a good amount of their menu, and will occasionally get the seasonal items like peach. Though I always revisit my favorites, which are the da hong pao tea frappe, the jasmine green milk tea, and the matcha green tea varieties. If you get the frappe, they top the whip cream to serve. Wait time can vary but generally it's about 5-10 mins to get your drink. There are some tables and seating but most people tend to grab n go.

I was pretty excited to try Chayan as another potential spot that genuinely focuses on high quality…read moretea. Definitely the same vibe as Molly Tea, but with a broader menu of drink options. I opted for the Da Hong Pao Tea Frappe and the tea wasn't quite as fragrant as I wanted it to be. I'd say it's middle of the road quality wise, aka a tier or two below Chicha and about the same as Don't Yell At Me. As with other boba spots, it's possible that some drinks are better than others, so maybe take a look at what the regulars are ordering. Vibe wise, the store wasn't too crowded early afternoon on a Saturday. Only 2-3 folks lined up to order on the iPad and seats were nearly full, but not quite. Vibes great, tea not bad.
