    Tiramisu milk tea
    Megha D.

    I was in UDistrict with a friend and we were looking for an afternoon boba. We decided to stop by Don't Yell at Me (mostly because of the name lol). The inside is small but clean and plenty of seating. The menu is fairly concise and their specialty is their cheese foam. We decided to split a tiramisu milk tea. It came out fairly quickly and it was delicious! The cheese foam was interesting and added a tanginess that for a tiramisu flavor was yummy but I'm curious how it would taste with other flavors. Overall cute and quiet spot to hang out with friends!

    Solid boba shop with a good amount of seating and a restroom available for customers. You order at a kiosk then wait until they call your number Osmanthus jasmine milk tea with brown sugar pearls: 4/5. I think this is a more unique drink and I really liked it. I personally recommend 100% sweetness bc my friend got the next level down and it was slightly too bitter for both of us. If you like more bitter milk teas though, the 100% might be a bit much

    To be honest I often don't like the drinks at Don't Yell At Me more than I like them. This was the first drink that I had which I enjoyed. I think their tea drinks are just lacking and overall average, if we're talking about the average there's much better places nearby like TP Tea, Macu, and in general it's honestly just average. I think the service is fine and inside too, however sometimes it feels a little cold because the interior is just white all around.

    A good boba spot to try if you're around the U-District area! I had their brown sugar milk, which I enjoyed. Their recommended sweetness was 50% and I agree with that amount. The drink was still moderately sweet and I still liked it. The boba was prepared nicely. The service is okay. You order through a kiosk, but when the employees have time, they can order for you. There's only one kiosk, so it can create a bit of traffic with ordering. However, the drinks were made pretty quickly. It only took a few mins for my drink to be ready! The cost was around $8 which is a bit on the pricier side. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice! Great lightning and it was decently organized. The seating can be limited though, but an okay amount of space.

    I walk by this place almost every day and have been meaning to trying, based primarily on the name. It also has a cool, clean vibe inside (albeit, small). I was not even sure where to begin. Their menu is large and there are so many options. Far more than just your standard boba menu. I ended up ordering two different Fresh Milk Tea Smoothies topped with cheese foam. I ordered a mango and a pink lychee. Both had real fruit and were topped with the aforementioned cheese foam (which was delicious). I was very impressed and will be back to try more. My only reservation is the $8.30 per drink price tag, which seems a bit steep and makes "Don't Yell At Me" a special treat and not a place I can afford to regularly frequent....

    Great milk tea and flavorful. I'd come here again. They have a good variety to choose from and a chill vibe I shed, right on University Way where it's popping as the younglings say. My first time at this spot, so I am curious to try their other flavors at some point in future trips I make to Seattle. There's parking on the street, but limited as this city is always busy... so that might be your only struggle, but the tea will help sooth that.

    Lavender Milk Tea

    Not my first time at Don't Yell At Me, but it is for this particular location in University District. My friend and I were able to make our order on the self-ordering kiosk with ease. I ordered the Lavender Milk Tea (regular ice, 100% sweetness, and lactose free milk). Even though it was freezing outside, I still enjoyed my not too overly sweet iced drink. The space is well lit and spacious. There are a few tables in there that are perfect for chatting with friends, or even studying. I didn't check to see if there were outlets at these spots though.

    Stopped in on a whim and got the taro milk tea. Was very pleased with the flavor of it--not too sweet and not powdery at all. Service was quick and somewhat helpful--they were out of the Sakura festival flavor they were supposed to have, or rather they had decided to not sell it that day (despite it being listed as a valid day on the map for the event). The worker was unclear

    Don't Yell At Me is my favorite boba spot in Seattle! The last time I went was on a Monday night around 6:30 pm and there was no line. The self serves kiosk was great and had photos which is always helpful. The drinks came out minutes after I ordered them. I love four seasons and have found it hard to find a boba spot with four seasons in Seattle. I ordered mine with both jelly and boba and found it to be just right in terms of sugar. We also got a mango green tea with 100% sweetness and it wasn't overly sweet like how some shops are. My boyfriend commented how nothing tasted artificial! The decor is very cute and aesthetically pleasing. There's a good amount of seating too.

    Cute boba place! Came on a Wednesday afternoon, it was pretty empty but randomly got busy after we ordered from the kiosk probably because of the hot weather. I love lavender so I got the lavender milk tea with rose tea jelly. I really liked it! Has a strong lavender taste. There is also some seating inside.

    Caramel Jasmine Milk Tea (Left), Original Milk Tea (Right)

    After having a good experience at the Kirkland branch of DYAM, we stopped by the much closer University District one. This location seems to have shorter lines, but offers the same high quality drinks. We did decide to branch out a bit to try some drinks we wouldn't normally get and even though I'd say those drinks are a bit subpar (for our tastes at least), I still recommend DYAM. As long as you stick with the more traditional milk tea flavors, this place can be excellent. Caramel Jasmine Milk Tea, Less Ice, 50% Sweet, Lactose Free Milk w/ Brown Sugar Boba ($6.70) - This drink isn't the best. While it has small flowery undertones, there's a very sharp caramel flavor that penetrates each sip. It's way too strong with a flavor that kind of tastes like it's been fermented. We went with the brown sugar boba in this drink, which we found to be on the firmer side. Not horribly hard - there's still a bit of a chew, but they are noticeably worse than the honey boba. In addition, for some reason the brown sugar boba has lots of small nooks, crannies and crevices that impeded my enjoyment of the drink a little. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 Original Milk Tea, Less Ice, 50% Sweet, Lactose Free Milk w/ Honey Boba ($6.25 ) - This tea, on the other hand, is excellent. It has almost a smoky flavor as compared to toasty. The sweetness level is pretty good, and the honey boba is super chewy. The only downside - they don't seem to be that consistent with the amount of boba they add to the drinks. For this one, by the time we were 3/4 of the way done, the boba was already gone. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 2nd Visit: Taro Milk Tea, Less Ice, 50% Sweet, Lactose Free Milk w/ Honey Boba ($6.70) - I don't recommend this drink. At first I thought it would be taro paste mixed in a milk tea, but this drink seems to be taro concentrate added to milk tea. It does taste like taro, but more on the chemically side with a bit more of a flowery vibe vs. earthy. The drink is quite sweet, almost too sweet, and the taro flavor completely overpowers the tea. I would skip this drink in the future. The boba this visit for some reason was also not up to par: a bit hard, with smooth spheres but very different in size between the smallest and largest. Not the most pleasant chew due to how hard the pearls are. Milk Tea Rating: 2/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 I've visited two more times (so four visits total) and my feelings have cooled off a bit. For both of those visits, they had run out of at least one drink (coincidentally the drinks that I had wanted to order), and were completely out of lactose-free milk. In addition, this location seems to be pretty inconsistent with boba texture and the amount of boba they give. For example, on my previous visit, I got the Osmanthus Milk Tea, which is nice and flowery with bits of flower petals throughout the drink, but the amount of boba they gave wasn't enough to last even half the drink. So overall, when the drinks are made properly and they have everything in stock, the drinks can be great. For the inconsistency issues at this location, I really can't give them a 5. It's still good, but I think it's the weakest of the three DYAM locations I've visited. Bathroom - One unisex room that requires a code to get in

    There are so many boba places in University District that I tend to overlook some places. I was out with friends when we tried to find a spot that was open past 9pm. Luckily these guys were still open! I got a good ol fashioned Brown Sugar Milk because I wanted to see how it stacks up to others. It was pretty good! The thing is they had so many options that I have to come back to try others because they also look good. The store was small which is pretty typical for boba spots but I feel like they could do a little more for decoration. Other than that a solid spot!

    Wifey was craving some boba, this place came up. Flavor was super yummy, boba didn't taste fresh it seemed hard then other boba places we've visited. There was just one worker making all the boba. They sell some pretty cool hoodies though with there logo. Overall ok experience. This area has no parking nearby.

Wintermelon Milk Tea - they got the wintermelon taste down, it's just excessively sweet. Good in a pinch or for a refresher. I will say their cup sizes are large, which perhaps makes it similar to the super sweet drinks at some coffee chains.
