Flavors are good! But I wish they would add alternative milk options add ons for those that can't drink dairy.

Gaga Tea is pretty decent and one of the few spots where you can actually taste the tea. It's also reasonably priced. I would be back if I was in the area and craving boba but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out. Like most spots, you order from a kiosk and the store is pretty small, so this would be take out only. There's also not a lot of space to wait for your drinks but not much they can do based on how small the store is. read more

I stopped by Gaga Tea and tried the White Peach Slush and the Honey Tea with aloe jelly. Both drinks were okay, but honestly I've had better boba elsewhere. The flavors were decent, but nothing really stood out or made me want to come back specifically for those drinks. The shop itself was pretty clean, and I like the cool duck-themed branding but just keep in mind that it's walk-in only. My biggest disappointment was the customer service. The staff didn't communicate much and the interaction felt pretty cold and impersonal. A little friendliness and engagement would have gone a long way toward improving the experience. Overall, not a bad spot if you're in the area and craving boba, but based on this visit, it was just average for me. read more

Good boba place to try! They close at 12am which is great for a late night sweet drink. The bad part is that there is only one table for indoor seating with two seats. The pretty place is small as well. It's not greatly organized and doesn't have the best decorations. I got a brown sugar boba drink and it was good. The drink itself wasn't heavy and it wasn't too sweet. The boba itself was nice and chewy. The service was okay. I ordered through the kiosk so there wasn't any customer service other than receiving my drink. But the drink didn't take long to make. Overall, a good place to grab some boba. read more

Wasn't open during noted service hours, went at 1:30PM and it was locked with no sign :(

There are many boba spots in the International District and this one is a good one. It's a really small spot with it being basically a counter you order at and that's it. They have plenty of drink options. I appreciate them doing what they could to make the space inviting with what they had to work with. You order through a kiosk so not a ton of service. The drinks are good though and they hit the spot. I would say that the main appeal of this spot is the fact it stays open until midnight which makes this place a great option for when you're hanging out with friends. read more

Tried the QQQ milk tea. The milk and tea was a good balance. The boba, grass jelly, and pudding all tasted great. Service was fast. You order at the kiosk and the drink gets made. It was a small shop so no place to sit read more

A great little dessert after Honeycourt. With a kiosk & 1 worker, the service went pretty fast. It wasn't busy, maybe a handful of people. The drink was delicious. I can actually taste the tea in the drink & not just powder and milk. Place is small so when it's busy, might have to wait outside. Will be back again! read more

I had to come back! The only time I ever get to drink Gaga Tea is on Fridays because of their hours. They're open Monday-Thursday from 5 PM-12 AM, Friday-Saturday from 12 PM-2 AM, and Sunday from 12 PM-12 AM. Since I work in Seattle during the weekdays and I'm never really in the area on weekends, Friday is literally my only chance. My friend told me to try the cheesy avocado drink and I was very skeptical at first... but it was actually really good. They leave the avocado chunks in, and the boba they use complements the drink perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised. I do wish they opened every day at 12 PM it would be way more convenient for people... but honestly, my wallet would probably suffer . As for service, it's self-ordering, and there's usually one worker there. They're helpful if you ask questions, but if you try to make small talk, they might look a little confused about why you're talking to them lol read more

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #97 I finally had a chance to visit Gaga Tea recently - their hours aren't that convenient since I'm usually in the CID on weekdays for lunch when they don't open until 5PM. On the flipside, they close pretty late (Midnight or 2AM, depending on the day), so it's definitely more of a late-night boba kind of place. In terms of the shop itself, it's tiny. There are only two seats inside, a kiosk to order, and a small waiting area. Given the hours, I assumed it would be an evening hangout spot, but that's obviously incorrect. Pearl Milk Tea, Roasted Oolong Tea, Less Ice, 50% Sweet ($5.25) - They add so much creamer into this drink that it's very powdery, almost to the point of being gritty. The flavor of the creamer almost completely covers up the taste of the tea, relegating the tieguanying, very slightly grassy and roasty, to the very end of the aftertaste. There is definitely way too much creamer in the drink. At least less ice is appropriate and at 50% sweet, it's pleasant and not overwhelming. The boba is actually quite good. Smooth sphere, slightly sweetened, plenty of bounce and a good chew level. I would love to see the boba soaked in a stronger brown sugar or honey mixture, but I can't really complain given the price. There's not much more I can ask for from a boba shop like this. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Gaga Tea definitely has a place in the boba landscape of Seattle. While their boba is average to possibly above average, their prices really make up for the difference. Bathrooms - None customer accessible read more

Gaga Tea is such a cute and tiny boba shop in Seattle's Chinatown. It features an endearing duck theme, and its drinks are quite good. You can order using the kiosk right in front of the entrance or directly at the register if you'd rather pay with cash. It's definitely not a sit-down type of spot; there's only a small table to the left of the entrance. DRINK: Beat the F* Girl (4/5) - Literally only got this because of the interesting name (lol). It's a strawberry-flavored fruit tea that was really refreshing. I added lychee jelly to it, and I thought that paired nicely with the drink. A little on the sweeter side, so I would try to adjust that next time. I enjoyed this, but I must preface that I am a simple girl who enjoys most fruit teas after a heavy meal. SERVICE: Didn't really interact with the staff directly because my friends and I ordered at the kiosk. However, since the shop is really small, we had a nice view of them making our drinks behind the counter. They were super efficient, and our drinks came out almost immediately after ordering. TLDR// Cute, duck-themed tea/boba shop in Seattle's Chinatown. I would return for a fast, refreshing drink in the adorable cups (pictured) if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Stumbled upon this small bubble tea shop so decided to try it. There's a variety of drinks and you order on a kiosk, the person working didn't really interact with us at all and there's little to no seating. When we went there wasn't a wait and our drinks came out pretty quickly. I ordered a green tea with cream and boba. The drink was delicious and the boba was alright, not my favorite. Overall I would go back and just not order boba. read more

The teas were really tasty and seemed to be made with good quality ingredients. I also loved the duck theme and decor, though I don't fully understand it. It's mostly grab and go with nowhere to really sit inside. The staff were great about answering questions but the drinks took maybe a little more time than expected. I mostly picked mine because it looked tasty and had an interesting name. Would come back! read more

Ambiance - not much in the way of ambiance. standard chinatown boba spot. more of a order & go kind of place. but cute neon light inside & you can get a magnet of this adorable duck. read more

Pretty average boba spot on the cheaper side which balances out. There are tablets to order from but minimal seating, definitely a grab and go spot. I ordered the GAGA Milk Tea and added boba but did heard the workers clown on me since that's just the Pearl Milk Tea. They were confused if it's any different (assuming training new employees). They're the same price after all but I wanted to see what options there were. However, their hours are insane if true. Not many boba spots open past 11PM. GAGA Milk Tea w/ Boba - boba was chewy and slightly sweet but could have more flavor. Milk tea was fair, a classic black tea with creamer. At the price point of just over $5 which was normal years ago, can't complain too much. read more

I often stop by when in Chinatown for a pearl milk tea and QQ milk tea. Id say it has been one of the best bang for your buck boba options in the area. The boba has always been soft and chewy and milk tea often tea forward (we've tried the jasmine and roasted oolong). They do have limited sweetness options and no option for hot drinks unfortunately. Its a pretty small shop so not much room to sit and chat. read more

I tried Gaga Tea through Doordash yesterday around 10pm and was blown away!! I am visiting Seattle, from Portland, and haven't had this good of boba since being in California, and maybe not even so then. This boba drink was so good that you can drink it warm. We got the QQ Milk Tea and plan to go a few more times in this trip!! The flavor was amazing, the boba texture (most distinguishing aspect) was divine, and the lychee jelly completed it all! The ratio of toppings to drink was perfect, where once I finished my drink, my toppings were also gone. I will definitely update again the next few times we go!! read more

Service was unmemorable (which is good!) Price was cheaper than most tea places but still ridiculously expensive. Why do these tea drinks with rice cake, condensed milk, and artificial flavors have to cost 6 dollars? I have no clue. This place charges 5.50 for most so it is slightly cheaper. Grapefruit Yakult was quite refreshing. Haunted Sesame Frosty was okay (I would still have preferred Mcflurry at McDonald's for a third of the price). This venue is super tiny and there are no places to sit. This is not a place you can "hang out" and chat. For that, there is Sharetea just down the street. OSHA food safety rating is "okay" which is not okay. read more

I like that it's open late! One of the few boba places in ID that do. The store is very small though with only the order/pick up counter and one small table. Not a very good place to chill and hang out but a good option to get tea if you're craving it. I got the Crema Green Tea, which I believe is their jasmine green tea with crema. I liked that the jasmine tea had a noticeable floral taste, even with full sugar and mixed with the cheese foam. Very enjoyable drink. Some of the other drinks were hard to decipher what kind of tea it was. I am interested in going back to try their oolong tea. The price for the drinks are also reasonable as well, compared to other boba places. The duck on the cup is very cute :) read more

Very cool interior! They offer a good selection of milk teas, fruit teas, and yakult based drinks. Although it's a self-order kiosk, the barista was very attentive in answering any questions. I got the pearl jasmine milk tea which was pretty solid. I only wish their boba topping was sweeter. read more

I was around chinatown and wanted to try this boba shop out. The shop was small with a cute duck logo. It's a place for grab and go. The prices on the menu were reasonable so why not. There were only two girls working but they were efficient. I decided to try their haunted sesame frosty with creama while my partner got the earl grey tea with ice cream. The drinks were good but I like the earl grey tea one the best. You can taste the strong floral tea flavor. The sesame frosty with creama was just okay. I couldn't really taste the sesame flavor on that one. My fault for picking the wrong drink. I will definitely come back again to try their other tea drinks. read more

Making my rounds to all the boba places in the Seattle area, this place pops up as one of the newer boba places around. Located in the heart of International District, parking is expensive and limited (but free Sunday/holidays), but I visited here by bus as it is conveniently located. You can either order in front with the cashier or at the kiosk, and I opted for the latter as I wanted to see more details in some of the more interesting drinks (beat the ____) which were just fruit teas so I ended up with my usual milk tea order instead. I got the QQQ milk tea which had boba, egg pudding, and grass jelly which was decent. You have options for the tea, which I opted for roasted oolong, which was fine, just a little bit watered down. There was a mix up with the kiosk ordering system where I opted for 25% ice but they printed regular ice and delivered it to me as such, but I can't really complain since regular ice doesn't seem like a lot compared to other places. read more

Gaga Tea - Yummy, Cheesy Avocado Frosty w/ Crystal Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A late-night boba spot that is open until 2 AM is always appreciated! I'd say drinks are definitely on the sweeter side. The service was quick and the shop is also pretty small. It is easy to park across the street when visiting this location, and Honey Court is also right across it if you want a late-night food fix alongside your boba. Overall, I wouldn't say this is my favorite place for satisfying my boba fixes because of how much it is on the sweeter side. The menu itself also isn't too special regarding the flavors and mixes they offer. However, if you are looking for a late-night boba spot that's open and that you need to satisfy any general cravings for boba after a night concert or event - this is your spot! read more

These days if you were to tell me that we can get $5 boba of quality, I'd say you're lying... unless you're referring to Gaga Tea. Located in international district, Gaga took over the previous boba shop and added more flare to the offerings. I've tried a few basic drinks and they're all pretty solid. In case you're curious, "gaga" is the onomatopoeia of ducks in Chinese, hence the duck theme throughout the shop. Also... somehow they never translated the 2 drinks on the menu but you know I got you: - Beat the F*boy is a lemon green tea - Beat the F*girl is a strawberry green tea (You'll know why "beating" is in the name once you order the drinks and observe the baristas.) read more
