I ended up going with the peach mango slush & my bf got the chamoy slush. Both were so refreshing for a hot sunny day. They weren't watered down, the perfect flavor. Boba was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his drink as well. So glad we stopped here,it was so worth it! Definitely go check them out.

My friend had the tiramisu drink with cheese foam and brown sugar boba pearls. Also a delicious drink! The cheese foam is similar to a cold foam but saltier. The drinks were pretty average price wise but very tasty flavor wise! They were out of bubble waffles, so that's the reason for the 4 star rating versus a five. They have two ways to order, which was efficient. They also have a large seating area. If you're in the mood for boba, check out "Don't Yell at Me!"

If you've ever enjoyed a cream-filled doughnut but thought it needed 4 to 5 times the amount of filling, these are for you. And the boba inside is very fun.

Honestly, deciding was tough because everything looked delicious. As a California native, I've tried countless boba spots, and I'd rank Bobae above the best places back home! I'm so glad I took the cashier's recommendation, because the "Red, White, and Matcha" blew me away. The sweetness and creaminess were perfectly balanced, and the matcha was just right, not too faint and not too bitter. I also adored the merchandise and I'm already planning to pick up a few pieces next visit. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #126…read more I've visited Bobae a couple more times at this point and need to upgrade them to a 5 for consistency. From my most recent visit on a Tuesday afternoon: Iron Goddess Oolong Milk Tea, Bae Size, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($8) - This is a really interesting drink that doesn't taste like any other Iron Goddess (Tieguanyin) that I've had before. Instead of a more oxidized, somewhat vegetal and earthy taste, this tea delivers the aroma of warm holiday spices like clove and nutmeg. At half sweet, it's still a bit too much for me (reminder for myself to get 25% next time), but it's not a harsh sweetness by any means. The boba is very good and have been consistently good in my prior visits (other than my first visit, which was an outlier!). The pearls are clearly sweetened in syrup and have a texture that compresses on the tongue, but remains really bouncy. It's one of the few places that allows me my favorite boba chewing technique - biting off six sides to create a boba center cube. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 Surprisingly, Bobae has turned into one of my favorite boba shops in the Seattle metro. It was definitely unexpected from my first visit! Drinks: [4.75/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 5/5

I swung by to get their Nitro OG milk tea with boba, 50% sweet and light ice. I think that nitro…read morebrewed tea is a little gimmicky since I've been to Bobae's other locations and the tea always felt like a normal milk tea. Nitro coffee is real though, since it makes the coffee smoother and frothy at the same time. SO, I was surprised to see that the top of this tea was actually a bit frothy with tiny bubbles! Interesting. Maybe the other locations aren't doing it properly? Anyway, this made the tea have a silkier mouthfeel, although I'm still not sure it does anything for the flavor of the tea as milk and sugar are already added, making the drink super smooth and creamy to begin with. The boba here is soft, bouncy and perfectly chewy. It's soaked in syrup, adding another dimension of flavor. I'll be coming back!

I was in the area to knit and noticed that they had finally opened. It's a very nice clean shop…read morewhere they accidently ended up opening earlier than intended that day. The boba wasn't ready as a result. I ended up ordering a strawberry latte. They didn't seem to have size options. I found the strawberry latte to be a good level of sweetness for me. I don't recall if I made any adjustments but if I did, it was just less ice. They used strawberry chunks and they weren't sour. Overall it didn't blow me away but it is a nice addition to have in the area. I'm curious about their boba so I'll likely try that the next time I'm in that plaza.

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #121…read more On my previous visit to Tealogy over a year ago, I received a drink that was decent enough to to satisfy my boba cravings, but with some definite shortcomings. During that visit, I saw some rarer varieties of milk teas on the menu, which intrigued me enough to revisit over a recent weekend. Tealogy has a single kiosk for convenience, which I used to place my order. I do want to say Tealogy's interior doesn't seem to be the most clean. On my visit, there was a clear musty smell throughout and the floors were very sticky. Spring Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($7.50) - This is clearly a high mountain oolong given the flowery oolong fragrance. It's quite a strong flavor, although muted a tiny bit by a somewhat excessive amount of liquid non dairy creamer added. The sweetness level is also a bit too high, most likely because of the sugar soak of the boba. Still, the drink is quite pleasing to sip on. The boba unfortunately isn't great. The pearls are far too firm. They are inconsistent in size with most being somewhat lumpy shrunken balls, like they weren't given enough time to expand in boiling water. While still a little bouncy, it's clear that these have a lot of room to grow. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 TieGuanYin Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($7.75) - This one tastes somewhat vegetal and malty with a hint of scorched leaves. It's quite a bit weaker than the high mountain with most of the tea flavor unfortunately drowned out by the creamer. It's definitely a weaker drink than the Spring Milk Tea. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Tealogy remains a 4. They serve some good quality tea and some unique varieties not commonly found at other boba shops. Unfortunately their boba is mediocre. I really wish they had the da hong pao (Wuyi red robe) on weekends! Why only Tuesday-Thursday? Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

Love the Chicha here!…read more They tasted better than the Chicha in Singapore!! SERVICE 5/5 Staff was so earnest, kind and attentive. The two times I was there, they gave me samples of tea to try. AMBIANCE 5/5 Very limited seatings but if you were lucky like me, you will enjoy sipping tea here. Bright, clean and very lively esp on weekends (meaning long line! lol). DRINKS 5/5 The first time I had the "Osmanthus Mango" (did not quite remember the name) and the 2nd time "Bee My Plum". Both drinks were excellent. Funnily, this ChiCha and a couple of other places would be something I miss in Bellevue.

I ordered a couple before, and gave my pickup time as 6:30pm so I could get it on my way home from work. I ended up getting there early - like 6:15 and expected to have to wait a bit. My two drinks were sitting on the counter in a puddle of condensation and all of the ice had melted :( The chicken was still being fried, which I was happy to wait for, but when it came out five minutes later much of the breading was still very mushy. The lava flow was fine and the thai tea was tasty, the lids make it unsafe to flip the drink to stir the boba/toppings like at other places and the straws are too flimsy to stir the boba...i can only imagine if the ice had been frozen still. Not a win from me. Maybe Ill try again as a walk in.
