The boba tea was the best I have ever had bc I could tailor the sweetness. I didn't y try any of the food though.

Order the Creamy Coconut Coffee. The coconut flavor did not come through. It wasn't the normal coconut flavor I expected, but a strange nutty flavor that i could not make out.. Maybe the person making it mistakenly used a different cream?!? To the owner: is this creamy made in-house or are you using a Costco coconut milk?? read more

Ive git their mango, coconut milk drink a couple of times and it was absolutely delish! Sooo Soo good. However, the last time I ordered, the mango was sour and barely any coconut milk. Yes, it wasnt mango season so my bad ordering it, but I was hopeful that maybe they used frozen mango. Would have been good for them not to offer it on their menu if they can't guarantee the taste. read more

I came here around 12 PM looking for something refreshing to drink on a hot day. The staff was very friendly and courteous. She efficiently made my Sea Salt Ube Milk Tea, which I really appreciated since it was non-dairy. The refreshing drink was the highlight of my day! Just a heads-up: there are two restaurants in this space--Just Poke and DIY Tea Lab. DIY Tea Lab is on the right when you walk in. Parking was easy thanks to the parking lot. read more

They have a lot of different flavors and I think I just got the wrong one. I don't recommend the coffee jellies. I tried a more fruity one and that was solid, nothing materially better than any other boba place, but just a solid options. Parking is a little annoying in the complex but it's navigable. Service was super patient and helpful, really appreciated that aspect of coming here and it's probably why I would return. read more

I visited DIY Tea Lab this weekend for the first time. I have never been to this location. It is nestled amongst several stores in this strip mall. This tea place shares a kitchen with Just Poke, so you can enter that restaurant and you will find yourself in Boba heaven, too! The server greeted us warmly and waited patiently as we took some time to figure out what we wanted to order. My son ordered a classic Ruby Black Milk Boba Tea with 50% sugar and I ordered a Blue Ocean sparkling water with 25% sweetness. I appreciate the fact they allowed me to dial in the amount of sweetness I preferred. The seating area was clean, quiet, and peaceful. I appreciated the fact they compost and recycle at this location, too. Bonus- My son and I had fun battling a Pokemon Go Gym and making new friends there in the process! read more

I ordered a mango smoothie with tapioca boba and lychee jelly. The smoothie was good and enjoyed my add ons. This place is shared with a pole store so it's really a good idea. You can order food and drink that go well together. The service was fast and accurate. She was on a roll doing orders as she received a couple. The place was clean. People were nice and explain if you had questions. Will definitely come back and try other things they offer and maybe order a Poké. Parking is not a problem at all. Lots of spaces and safe. read more

Prices are pretty reasonable how ever drink are super bland and you might wanna check if you have every topping you ordered before leaving 'cause the employee forgot mine, guess they were to busy chatting with their poke co worker. Drink are either too sweet or barely any flavors at all, there is no in between. Don't waste your money for water with couple drop of flavored milk tea, I will never come back and take this as a lesson. This apply to all chain btw. read more

One thing about me is that I love a treat. This location being in a shared space with Just Poke is AMAZING because what a great combo! I have yet to order from both in the same trip, but I definitely plan on it. They were out of tapioca boba when I want, but to be fair I went late in the day on a hot day. The worker did assure me that there were plenty of other fun options and talked me through all the other fun toppings, which was awesome because I usually get the same thing every time and haven't been adventurous. I love the ube milk tea here with tapioca pearls and light brown sugar syrup! Sometimes the salted foam, but only get the salted foam if you get 75% or more sweetness, as the drink will go too salty if the foam is on a mild drink. The lychee smoothie is amazing on a hot day and I would definitely get it again! read more

I had a good experience at the Ballard DIY Tea Lab location, so I figured since I was in Mill Creek, I would give this one a try too. As with the other location, the boba shop shares a storefront with Just Poke, making it a nice place to pick up both lunch and a drink. I wonder if all the other locations also have this signature pairing in place? I dropped by on a weekend during lunch and there was a line of 5 or 6 people waiting to order the poke but no one in line for drinks. There's a kiosk right on the counter to easily input my order, and I had my drink within a minute or two. Classic Milk Tea, 50% Sugar, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.70) - The milk tea is surprisingly pretty good, with a nice fragrance of assam tea leaves. They add just the right balance of creamer so that it adds body to the drink but doesn't overwhelm the tea. The sugar they add is a good amount less than competitors, giving a drink that's perfectly not-too-sweet for my tastes at 50%. Similar to a lot of other places, they do use a fructose machine, so I wonder where the difference comes from. The boba served at this DIY Tea Lab is harder than my preference. The pearls are pretty uniformly smooth and round, with a small bit of stickiness to the exterior, but the centers have a somewhat hard bite which reduces the amount of chew in each pearl. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 The drinks here seem to be pretty good. There aren't too many choices for boba around Mill Creek, but this is a solid one. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms. One was blocked off on my visit, so I'm not sure if it's functional. read more

Boba topping wasn't very fresh. Overall, not worth the price ($7-8). On top of lower quality boba, it didn't come with much. Drinking normally, I got through all of the boba not even halfway through the drink. The tea itself tastes to be brewed well though, and is at least a real tea drink vs the sugar water some places will try and sell. read more

The DIY Tea Lab in Mill Creek shares a spot with Just Poke. It's very convenient because I often go in to grab food and a drink for dessert. Their drinks are good but there's a lot of competition that does it a bit better. There are a couple tables inside and some bigger tables outside if the weather is nice. Service was fast and staff were friendly. read more

Service was great. Everything else was mediocre at best. The cups have lids that pop off while you're trying to shake it, and it's bland as heck. It's inside a poke place which is weird. Inside is small with 2 little tables, but lots of outdoor seating. read more

I paid eight dollars for milk tea that was sour (despite ordering a full sweetness drink) and made me nauseous. Their drinks used to be good but they're awful now. read more

Bubble tea close by? Why yes please. Tucked in the side street at Mill Creek Town Center you will find this place sharing a store with Go Poke. They have a really easy to use ordering system in the store or online and it comes out pretty quickly. Been here a couple times and make sure you come earlier in The day. Couple times we have stopped by after dinner and they are out of boba which is a crime. Sort of like a Chinese restaurant running out of rice. Overall good drinks and I will be back! read more

Ordered 3 drinks just as a wake up call on a Sunday morning and boy did they help my friends but it didnt help me. My friends ordered the Let That Man'go Smoothie and the Taro Lover Milk Tea with regular sweetness, regular ice, and lychee. I ordered the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with regular sweetness, less ice, and boba. Both loved their drinks. Mango was sweet and chunky as described. Taro was sweet and smooth. For me, there was no brown sugar at all. It was basically milk tea with a pinch of brown sugar syrup. No matter how many times i mixed it, thinking i was crazy, i wasnt and there was nothing. Overall, i probably would only order anything but the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk. I will give something else a try when im back in the area. read more

Is there really anything bad to say about milk tea? Some friends and I stopped by and were able to snag a seat at the one table inside to enjoy our milk teas. I probably drank mine way too fast, as I found myself wanting more to sip on while we talked. It was nice to have a place to sit and enjoy our drinks instead of having to take it outside where it was cold, dark, and rainy. Would love to try some of the fruitier flavors but somehow always end up sticking with the milk/tea-based ones. One day. I swear. read more

My first time at the DIY tea lab! It's DIY in the sense of picking the level of sweetness, milk and toppings (boba, jelly etc). The boba place is attached to Just poke so it's helpful if you also wanna grab a bite to eat. The staff was super polite and helpful and even recommended some of their most liked drinks for us. There are plenty of options to choose from! I picked the strawberry fresh milk with boba and 25% sweetness. The boba was a good size and really refreshing. I'm officially a fruity milk tea convert now! There isn't much seating inside with just one table. But they have some outdoor seating and it's perfect for the season. Can't wait to go back and try more flavors, especially the lychee one. read more

First time in milk creek! I've never been to this area before, I was driving by and needed some tea/ caffeine fix. DIY tea lab it is. It's like their other locations: Ballard: Fremont, they are joint: sharing with just poke. The lines were a little confusing. Long lines, turned out the wrong lines too. The Just poke staff seems helpful and we're trying to help the DIY ladies. They were sweet but at least when I came in, overwhelmed and very busy. I ordered matcha fresh milk with strawberry and boba. And brown sugar boba milk tea. They got the sweetness wrong as well as missing boba in my matcha drink. Seeing how busy they were, I took it and left. Didn't realize it till later. I did get the lychee jelly though so it wasn't all lost. Brown sugar, I had it with 50% sugar but it was way too sweet still. Overall, glad they are here. Very busy, long wait and few errors. Sweet ladies though. read more

I usually came in for Poke, but finally decided to try out this boba place. Doan was so friendly and she recommended White Peach Oolong for me since I'm a big fan of Oolong. It's nice to try out something new and unique that other boba places don't have. read more

Nice spot, the same space shares fresh poke offerings as well as the tea drinks and macarons. I enjoyed my ruby black tea, I went 50% sugar but would probably go slightly more next time. I also got a thai iced tea macaron, that was great. Everything they serve is tasty and I know a few different friends that enjoy this place as well. A solid addition to the Mill Creek town center. read more

Delicious tea option! Probably the best option in mill creek if you ask me. I do not have a sweet tooth so I usually order the least sugar option and it is refreshing, even half sugar is pretty sweet. Love the ube milk tea. The best part about this location - it shares a storefront with just poke! I can't go in and have just one without the other. read more

Located st the very north end of all the shops plaza. The shop is a combo with a poke side. The DIY staff was friendly & helpful

It's boba tiiiiiiime! I'm in deep trouble now that they've opened up north!! I've been a regular at their newcastle and Kirkland locations and this new location is just as great as it's paired with Just Poke. It's only soft opening right now so be patient with them as they work out any kinks but all the drinks I've had so far have been perfect! They have a set menu but you're able to customize your own drink so if you don't have much a sweet tooth but do regular sweet, that's on you, boo (@ the 1 star review guy lol). Angela was so helpful and cheerful! The employees always have great recommendations and are patient with you if you have any questions or concerns. DIY is definitely an upgrade to what the location had before and you won't be disappointed! :) read more

Doanh was super friendly and helpful, wasn't really familiar with boba and didn't know what to order what she recommended me was so freaking goood. Thank you Doanh will be back to try new drinks ! read more

First time at DIY tea lab. We got a brown sugar milk tea and classic milk tea with boba both at 100% sugar. Both of our drink tasted like plain tea, no taste of sweetness at all. We went back inside to let them know. They took our drink to add more sugar syrup. It still tasted like plain tea. Very disappointed. Bad first time experience. I wouldn't go back. Share Tea makes way better milk tea. read more

Drinks were amazing, the ambience was bright, and there was excellent service as well!! (Raine was our server)

My favorite is the taro with boba, and the hot fruit tea. It is a little pricey for what you get but flavor is amazing and rather quick service. My fam likes the Vietnamese coffee with boba I think it is a new flavor. read more

Still 1 star. FYI the owners look to be disputing my review. We gave them one last try today. A very regretful try I sit here watching the US abandon Afghanistan on the news and i can empathize. I feel abandoned after giving them a second try with the brown sugar milk tea. After 20 minutes waiting - I asked for 50%, and still it tastes 150% sugar. I dont think you need to add extra sugar to a milk tea made out of brown sugar. In terms of aromatics theres nothing in that category read more

Assault on my taste buds. I thought the war on obesity was over but apparently this is ground zero. I ordered a strawberry me and my pregnant friend ordered a brown sugar thing. Oh lawd, We got the sugar shakes. The sugar and sweetness is off the charts and my strawberry drink tasted like a $7 knockoff of what you get at Costco cafeteria. My friend has an appointment tomorrow since she apparently developed gestational diabetes. Otherwise it's a good place if you're into going to the "Dairy Queen" of boba tea shops read more

Twice we have been here. First time during the soft opening so I didn't want to be too critical. But this time around Im a little more convinced that I wouldn't come again. They have an interesting menu with good looking drinks. I personally thought the flavors are somewhat off, either too sweet or too bitter (the grapefruit one). Although my daughter got the lychee one this time and I thought it was pretty good. What I do like is that they have kid's sizes but only a limited menu for that size, so that's a bummer. I don't see why you can't have any drink in that size. Also, the small cup was full with ice and barely any drink... I blame myself, I should have maybe asked for less ice. So when you go there, make sure to modify ice level if you are getting the kid's size. The ordering system is what I absolutely dislike. Because you can order on a screen, which is right in front of the cashier and you can either choose to do a verbal order or the electronic, so it feels weird. Why not have the screen closer to the door so that people can order there while others are ordering verbally? Just doesn't seem like it was thought through very well. Sharetea is better ;) read more

I've yet to try the brown sugar thing, but after reading a review and seeing the recent popularity, wanted to check it out! The brown sugar syrup is soooo fragrant! Straight brown sugar, melted down into a syrup, swirled with milk! Like drinking cereal milk, but less carbs since there's no actual cereal!! It's sweet, but it's sugar, what do you expect? The milk really tones it down. OMG! They don't advertise it, but if you're creative, they have vegan & keto options too!! I'm trying out this whole veganism thing part time, but it's been tough to give up my bbt. So glad I can order a MACADAMIA milk substitute drink or even oat when I'm feeling like something a little heartier! So glad my favorite bubble tea chain is expanding, so now I can have them anywhere. read more

One girl working here today. Not so busy at all but she is very very slow. Been waiting for 4 drinks over 20 minutes already.

Really expected to love this place but was disappointed. I ordered a taro milk tea with pudding. The taro was powdery and grainy and barely sweet at all. I usually prefer my drinks to be stronger rather than watery but this one was so strong/thick it almost wasn't enjoyable. I believe this place usually makes much better drinks and hoping mine was a one-off visit, but definitely had a disappointing beverage that I paid over $7 for. :( read more

Poor service, did not listen to order, rude, made both drinks wrong and they are not drinkable! Don't waste your time or money going here. Go find a better place! read more

I tried this place once before when they had first opened. It was extremely disappointing the first time but I assumed it was due to them being newly open. I decided to give it another chance yesterday and once again it was extremely disappointing. The service isn't very good. I walked up the front and the girl at the front just looked at me and didn't say anything. The screen is in the front so I assumed I'm supposed to put the order in myself on the computer. I asked her if that's what I was supposed to do and she just said yes and stared at me blankly while I put my order in without offering any help or offering to answer any questions. My order came out fairly quickly (probably the only positive). My milk tea tasted so watery. It was like water with a splash of tea flavor. I order my drinks 50% sweet but when I get it with less sweetness/sugar the tea flavor usually comes through more. But in this case I could hardly taste anything. I ended up not even drinking more than a couple of sips of my drink. If you're looking for good bubble tea this place is not it. read more

So grateful a bubble tea cafe is finally in this area! The cafe is clean and modern. You can order on your phone and pick up or you can self-order at the register in the cafe. It's a shared space with a poké restaurant, so I'll have to try that next time. Back to the bubble tea...they have a great selection of milk teas, iced teas and smoothies as well as toppings. I strayed from my normal matcha milk tea (I'll try it next time) and opted for the sea salt ube milk tea with a bit of sweetener. The boba was warm and soft, the milk tea very smooth. My son got the Life is Peachy iced tea with rainbow jelly. It was really sweet, so mix before drinking. read more
