I love how this location is right off the light rail stop - makes it super convenient to grab a drink if you're already riding. Don't Yell At Me has several locations, and I have found that they're all pretty good, and this visit was no exception. I especially like how they offer to substitute in lactose free milk at no additional charge. Many other boba places offer alternative milks which change the drink taste and mouthfeel, and often have a small fee associated too. The two drinks I tried (Traditional Milk Tea [less ice, 50% sugar, lactose free whole milk, brown sugar pearls] and Original Milk Tea [less ice, 50% sugar, lactose free whole milk, honey pearls]) were delicious. The difference in tea flavor is hard to describe. While they are both black teas, the original milk tea is more astringent and bitter which makes it more in line with the other black teas offered by other boba shops. The traditional milk tea has a less astringent taste, but also has herbal notes that I haven't really tasted before in any other teas. They are both very pleasant and I would get them again. The shop is offering a deal on their gift cards - buy $60 and get $40 free, so I bought 5x$20=$100 in gift cards. They're not for giving out as gifts, they're all for me! read more

My first thought when someone mentions Don't Yell At Me would be their UW Ave location because that's when I first had it during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. This time I came with a bestie here on a Sunday evening at 7pm to a really bright white and somewhat empty interior. There is a menu to look at near the counter where you place your order. I usually get the same thing for every Don't Yell At Me location I go to, and this time was no exception. Their tiramisu milk tea with cheese foam is just as great as I remember it: a light chocolatey, coffee-like taste that is on the verge of being too sweet but is slightly balanced by the equally sweet yet salty cheese foam. My friend's mango smoothie with cheese foam and boba was quite sweet as well but their mangoes are fresh and refreshing. Cap Hill isn't really a place I'd frequent because of the parking but when I do this would be one of the places I'd come back to because of the consistency in their milk teas. read more

First time visiting Don't Yell At Me! I visited on a weekday afternoon and there were was a small wait. My friends and I ordered off a kiosk and waited about 10 minutes for our drink. Parking is hard to find on the street but definitely doable. The store was well kept. I'll be back! read more

Minimalist boba shop with high-quality teas and reasonable prices. Tea was just about as good as nearby Chicha San Chen but lower priced. Fast service (i.e. most teas are probably premade). Free validated parking provided in the adjacent garage. Grab and go place although they do have two small tables inside the shop. Large outdoor plaza with some seating where you could relax instead. Single restroom available. read more

3000th review! I saw the name of this place, the wacky logo and when I found out it was a bubble tea place I had to go! The name of this place is just good advice in general. I say many of our problems today could possibly be solved if people did less yelling and more bubble tea consumption ;) We got a strawberry smoothie and a taro milk, both with honey boba. We thoroughly enjoyed both drinks and the boba was nice and chewy. I appreciated that they used organic milk and fresh taro in my drink. It really took the drink to the next level. The shop also has some clothing for sale too in case you want it known that you don't want to be yelled at. read more

My cousin and I were craving boba during our day trip to Seattle. We found this place when we were looking up places for boba. You can park on the street but there's also a fast food chain right next door but park at your own risk since there's security guards. Drinks: - Pink Lychee Smoothie Topped with Cheese Foam: This drink was not too sweet since I did lower the sweetness level. I also enjoyed the cheese foam it was topped with. The boba was soft and I also liked the lychee chunks that came with the drink. - Original milk tea with brown sugar boba: My cousin enjoyed her drink. She said it tasted like a regular milk tea. My cousin wanted to know the difference between their original milk tea and their traditional milk tea. They stated that the original milk tea is much creamier, which she likes. The workers were friendly and I also liked the aesthetic the place had. read more

HAPPY PRIDE!!! They were open right next to the Capitol Hill, so we had to stop and get some boba. They have nice seating as well as a self ordering tablet. My friend got Taro and shared how the 100% sweetness wasn't as sweet as she'd expect, but I LOVED the Matcha Strawberry oat milk with Boba. It was a blended drink with strawberry chunks and a perfect blend. Will definitely come back for another Matcha! read more

Deeply sad about this location closing December 22, 2025 but fortunate enough to have more locations still around Washington. UW being the OG look into the DYAM franchise around Seattle, it's still conveniently close. This CapHill location was always nice to avoid crowds when a school club had their social gathering at the UW stop, but the quality between the two is consistent and wonderful. Their tea will always be near the top of the list for chains. read more

Don't yell at me is quite a stunning and sleek inside. i got a fruit tea (winter melon) and it was super refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. i had never had a melon tea and it didn't taste artificial which is a tight line with a melon flavor. unfortunately im not a milk tea girl, but my friends did rave about it so i can imagine it must have been a delight. lovely boba shop for sure read more

I prefer the Original Milk Tea. I actually like that this place does really little sugar percentage (less than 25%, which is rare). The Traditional Milk Tea is still good, but more herbal tasting! Bathroom has code. read more

Still my go-to and top recommendation for people out of town. There is always good vibes, the cashiers are friendly, and who doesn't love seeing dogs while sipping on boba!? With that said, I really want to like the Pumpkin Milk Tea with cheese foam, and decided to give it a try because I've never not liked a drink from here. Unfortunately, it just was not for me. It is very pumpkin forward, and tasted like Chinese medicine especially the first several sips. I have learned to just stick to my usuals (Osmanthus Jasmine MT, Four Season Green Tea or Oolong with Cheese Foam, or Creme Brulee MT). read more

Milk tea with golden boba 8/10 didn't love the pedals inside the drinks but it's so refreshing! Pink lychee with golden boba 10/10 it's soooo good! Lychee chunks were a bit big and didn't fit throw my straw. I didn't love their honey pearl it wasn't sweet. 8.5/10 devil pumpkin latte with cheese foam. We had 50% sweet and it was still on the sweet side. Very pumpkin flavor was good- this was $9!!!! Yelp page shows bubble waffles but I didn't see it on the menu or I must have over looked it. Wait wasn't long. No line when they open first thing in the morning. Clean and has indoor seating read more

Tea is very high quality and aromatic. I got the jasmine osmanthus which was refreshing and delicious. Menu is very small though. The location is extremely unsafe so please beware. There were 3 homeless men right outside the door doing heroin I kid you not. How this place has not closed its doors yet due to safety is beyond me. Parking here is also a total nightmare. read more

First time visiting Seattle and was craving a boba drink! First I ordered their traditional milk tea with boba, but didn't realize it was brown sugar boba so it made my tea just taste like brown sugar water. The tea taste wasn't quite there, so I asked for a different drink. I ordered the osmanthus jasmine milk tea with golden boba the second time and it was a much better choice! I saw so many reviews about this drink and I understand why. It's got a good balance of tea flavor, floral notes, and not too heavy! There are bits of osmanthus petals in there as well. Thank you for the staff for remaking my drink, I really appreciate the good service even though it can be a bit annoying at times to switch drinks. I appreciate the relaxing ambience, there's plenty of seating and open space. There are also outlets for WFH. The only thing that was an issue.. was the bathroom doesn't have an occupied sign. All you need is a code to enter, no lock, so my boyfriend got walked in on while he was taking a dump! Should fix that soon! read more

This has to be one of the funnest names for a boba shop. As a self-proclaimed boba connoisseur (maybe just an addict), I was impressed with my drink, vibe, and name of this place. I ordered their Osmanthus Jasmine Milk Tea with Oat Milk and Brown Sugar Boba since I was feeling a little bit florally. Loved that they offered non-dairy milk options although it's nearly $1 more. The world needs to change this and just offer it as an option for those that can't have dairy. My drink was fantastic. Beverage itself is delicious and you can taste the quality of the brewed tea. Boba was cooked to perfection and use of brown sugar is a nice touch instead of the usual honey that I see, making the drink fully vegan. Don't worry - I won't be yelling at you anytime soon. Unless you enjoy being yelled at for good boba, then here I come. read more

This is the third of the four Don't Yell At Me locations in and around Seattle I've visited and my 6th or 7th time visiting in general over the last couple of months. The reason I continue to go? Constantly great boba and decent pricing all packaged into one drink. This location is no different and continues the trend of DYAM having excellent boba. Original Milk Tea, 25% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Golden Honey Pearl ($6.25) - The default is organic whole milk for the dairy element, but they offer lactose-free milk for no upcharge. The dairy flavor actually isn't that apparent in the drink since it's so well constructed. This allows the kind of toasty/smoky flavor of the tea to really shine. I usually get 50% sweet at the other locations, but I decided to drop it down to 25% this time, which makes the drink just slightly sweet, making each sip pleasantly balanced. Less ice is perfect; after completely cooling down the drink, there are only a couple of pieces left over. The golden boba, as with the U District and Kirkland locations (most of the time), is perfectly bouncy and chewy, smooth rather than sticky. And similar to those locations, for some reason there is decent size difference between the largest and smallest pearls. Still, the texture remains the same between the sizes, so I can't complain. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 Note: This is the only location that doesn't have operational order kiosks, so you actually have to talk to the bobarista. The horror! I'm still exploring the area, but so far I've found that Capitol Hill is really spoiled by having at least three good boba shops in close proximity to each other. Firstly Hi Tea, for when I spend a little too much on a meal, but I still want a decent/good drink. ComeBuy Tea if I want high quality, fresh brewed tea, but boba that's a bit on the sticky side. Or DYAM, with both pricing and tea quality in between the other two places, but with the best boba texture. Bathrooms - One unisex room that requires a code Edit: Okay, so I visited again and got the Traditional MT, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Golden Honey Pearl ($6.85 now, looks like they raised the price of the boba by 10 cents and the drink by 50 cents in the last week or two). It tastes kind of like a more earthy, malty soy milk with some caramel notes. Still pretty solid. I don't know what was up with the boba this time. The pearls were misshapen, all different sizes ranging from small to normal, with some sticking together into large globs and others having rough edges on them. Not to mention the boba being quite a bit firmer than usual. This drink would normally warrant a 4 rating. My overall rating still remains a 5 but my impression of DYAM has kind of dropped a bit due to the inconsistency between visits. read more

Cool, chill and lowkey boba shop with a quirky and seemingly Asian-American theme I got the osmanthus Jasmine milk tea with brown sugar boba and 50% sweetness. My 2 friends each got a drink and our 3 drinks came out in a good time. The boba had a pretty good chewy texture and was actually really sweet. So it works to get a lower sweetness on the drink. At times, I felt the brown sugar flavor was a little too sweet. The tea itself was good! Mild but still with a good jasmine flavor read more

Pretty solid!! It seems like they use milk rather than creamer, because the milk tea is on the more watery side. Personally, I like a creamier milk tea. Their honey boba was nicely chewy, which paired well with the floral flavors of the osmanthus tea. Plenty of tables and seating inside - a nice place to chill if you need to escape the Seattle winter cold. read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE SERVICE. I usually don't write yelp reviews, but I could not believe spending money at a food/drink establishment and it turns out ruining my day. There were two female employees working. The first female employee took my order and answered very rudely when I had questions about the menu. The second female employee called out my order "Number 5!" While I was on an important phone call. I walked up to her and kindly asked, "I am number 5, but I'm still waiting for my waffle can you just leave it on the counter...," but she just walked away without acknowledging me. I resumed my phone call while sitting next to the pick up counter, and heard her screaming out "NUMBER 5!" at least 5-6 more times at me even though the waffle I ordered wasn't even done. THEY EVEN GOT MY DRINK ORDER WRONG AND GAVE ME A BROKEN LID CUP. read more

Don't Yell At Me is such a cute boba shop, but their logo is what really caught my eye when looking for a beverage place in the area lol. Beverage: - Jasmine Green Tea Topped w/ Cheese Foam: 5/5 I have been on such a cheese foam kick and Don't Yell At Me did it so well. Their tea was flavorful, but not so caffeinated that it made me jittery. I ordered 100% sweet and it wasn't too sweet. The tea quality and sweetness were just perfect. Cheese Foam was on the cheesier side and there was a little too much for me, but was still very delicious. Service: The person who took my order was super sweet and gave me great recommendations. She also made my drink and it was ready within 2 minutes. So fast! Pricing: $ Honestly a really good price for boba considering recent inflation... I think I paid around $6.50 WITH tip, compared to $8 with tip at other places. Ambiance: Nice and quiet inside and a bit of seating. I like that they display stickers/prints from a local artist to help give them a place to sell. I ended up buying a sticker and it was so cuteee. Parking: Kind of hard to find parking, but it is expected in this area haha Would love to come back when I am in Seattle again :D read more

My favorite boba place on the hill. Very tasty drinks andthe brown sugar boba is really good! The texture is perfect, not too hard or soft. The cucumber sandwhiches are very good as well and remind me of the Japan 7/11 sandwhiches. Recommend the Caramel Ceylon tea with brown sugar boba, its my go-to. read more

Came in because of the funny name, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tea. Good amount of seating and they have restrooms in the back. Drinks come out quickly. Ordered the winter melon chrysanthemum tea, and wow was it strong tea! It's earthy and even at 100% sweetness I think it isn't what you'd normally expect from a boba shop-- the flavors remind me more of the type of teas served at dim sum or a Chinese banquet hall. If you're looking for something sweeter or a more casual drink, I'd recommend getting their milk teas instead which still have high quality tea but is creamier and sweeter. read more

Already craving boba the night I landed in Seattle, so my friends recommended stopping by Don't Yell at Me since they're one of the only boba places in the area that open fairly late. Definitely an interesting boba shop name with a unique logo. This boba shop is located in Capitol Hill, and they're dog friendly! We walked over with my friend's dog, and the worker was super nice and offered her a dog treat. Menu is pretty simple - they have milk foam drinks, teas, milk teas, and bubble waffles as snacks. I ordered the jasmine green tea topped with cheese foam ($5.25) along with brown sugar pearls (additional $0.60). I got this with 50% sugar and less ice. I thought the taste was pretty good. Tea is definitely good quality; I drank half of this drink around 9 PM and I was up until 3-4 AM! Boba was cooked well, super chewy and had a good sweetness that added to the 50% sugar tea. The cheese foam was good as well. My friend ordered the rose oolong tea with rose tea jelly at 50% sugar. This drink was pleasantly refreshing. Not a fan of oolong, but the rose flavor tamed down the strong oolong, so every sip was fragrant. I think 50% was still a little sweet, so my friend ended up adding some ice to water the drink down when we got back to her place. The tea rose jelly was pretty unique, too. Overall, a really nice and standard boba shop. I think it would do well in the 626 area. Lots of tables for customers to sit/chat/study. tl;dr - solid boba in Seattle! read more

Don't Yell At Me is my go-to boba shop with great drinks. I particularly like their Cheese Foam series. The quality is consistently good, and the drinks are always made fresh. The service is also very fast, though atmosphere makes you want to get take-out instead of dine-in. However, here's the catch: avoid ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash. They add a significant markup to the prices, making your boba fix way more expensive than it needs to be. Case in point: Pink Lychee Smoothie topped w/ Cheese foam is $6.75 in-store, but $8 on Doordash. My recommendation: skip the app and order in store. read more

They have a very curated menu, and in terms of quality I believe they have the best tea in a boba shop. They keep things simple, each item often only containing 3 ingredients, which they craft in layers for you to see. I like the ice and sweetness adjustment options; they use the perfect amount. It's the simplicity that makes you know they value quality ingredients and pure tea taste. This place takes me back to the vibes of boba shops in China; in other words, posh and high quality. It feels good to sit in a peaceful, clean place at the center of Capital Hill. read more

We were recommended this place for boba, so we went!! We got a Rose Milk Tea and a Jasmine Green Tea with 50% sweetness. The Rose Milk Tea was pretty good! Also, $6.50 for the one size it serves is pretty good -- you get a lot of drink for that price in my opinion! The Jasmine Green Tea was good but would have been perfect at 100% sweetness (don't underestimate how much less sweet a drink can get!). The store itself was nice and had a very clean aesthetic. We came within the last hour, and everyone was nice -- it was just a little quiet and chill when we went. read more

I've been here twice now and have enjoyed both of my drinks. This most recent time, I ordered a rose milk tea with boba. I like how it's not too sweet and the boba is soft.

I'd recommend coming here and hope they open more locations in Seattle. read more

Always loved this boba shop, used to go to university village before. I was happy to hear that they opened a new location in Capitol Hill, which is way closer to my place. I was invited to this place as a part of a yelp elite event. The place is easy to find, they don't have designated parking so found street parking. The shop is fairly medium-sized with a good amount of seating. The staff took my name for the elite experience and I was able to order a complimentary drink. The process was smooth and the staff was amazing. My drink was made perfectly. My go-to choices at this place are taro milk tea, osmanthus milk tea, and tiramisu milk tea. This place is one of my favorite spots for boba in the Seattle area. read more

The first time I visited this Don't Yell At Me location in Capitol Hill was for a Yelp Elite event. I am glad to return back to try even more drinks, as well as bringing my friends to try this place out for their first times while visiting Seattle. I ordered the Osmanthus Oolong Tea. My friends all ordered different drinks, but I don't remember what they each got. All in all, a good experience and the drinks were made pretty quickly after ordering, especially since there was only two people working. It can get pretty busy at this location is what I noticed. As we were waiting for our drinks, a line formed that almost went out the door. read more
