Tried this place out for lunch around 12pm on a Thursday. Not bad, a little pricey for a banh mi…read morebut it makes sense for the area. $11 for a beef banh mi or $10 for a pork or chicken one. You can do a combo for $15.50 that comes with a preselected drink and banh mi which is alright. The inside of the shop is a little small, not made for groups to really eat together since it's just a small bar-like table to eat at. So good if you're eating with one person or by yourself. For the banh mi, the bread is okay. Kinda generic. Meat is good though, flavorful, good quality and good amount. I'd come back only because it's the only banh mi shop in the area. For parking, there's just street parking. Around the corner from the Grand Bakery, there were spots open but you do have to pay for parking by the city. For a Thursday afternoon, it's only like $.50 for 45 minutes.

I just ordered an Ube milk tea but it was delicious! I was a bit worried because the picture showed…read morethe ube on top and milk tea on bottom but I am guessing they pre mixed the milk tea for me but I was relieved that it tasted normal and the bubbles were decent too. The shop is small but cute, the best thing about the shop is that the window isn't covered with stickers like most of the restaurants I've been to in seattle. This allowed me to sit at the window and look out into the street. There isn't much of a view but it's kind of nice to just people watch people walking by on the street and just existing while drinking your tea and listening to the Mandarin music playing in the background. The place was empty when I came jn but I got my drink pretty fast right after ordering by the cashier/server. I recommend a stop for sure.

I decided to try the matcha bubble waffle since I love a good bubble waffle. This is the first flavored bubble waffle I've ever ordered so I was a bit surprised at the texture difference on the inside. It looks undercooked but taste wise it definitely has a hint of matcha. It's a very cute establishment and when we went it was pretty quiet. The employees mostly kept to themselves at the counter or in the back. Seems like a great place to grab a drink and work in peace or catch up with friends!

Pretty standard milk tea and drink place, but happy that I don't have to go far to get something…read moresweet. This particular location shares parking in a plaza that it shares with other surrounding businesses like Ding Feng and Q Bakery... and as I've said many times already, careful of how you park there! Looking past that, this place feels like all other Happy Lemons in the Seattle/Bellevue areas, with a great amount of seating and some parts of the walls and logo that are in yellow, making for a brighter-looking atmosphere. There is some inconsistencies I've had in the past with service here, mostly with just the servers not always being as attentive or even mishearing the sugar, ice or milk adjustments I usually make on my orders. Happy to say I didn't have that issue in this visit! I got my default, which is the strawberry jasmine green tea with rock salt crema. Delicious as always especially on hot weather like we've been having, and the rock salt crema always makes the drink a lot better with its saltiness that just knows how to complement the jasmine tea. Besides this drink, I've gotten their avocado smoothie - it's very, very filling - and their taro milk tea - it tastes very artificial, so highly not recommended to get. There are other better places I prefer over here for milk tea, but I usually go here and pair my Q Bakery banh mi with a drink from here, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna keep coming back regardless.

Great spot for some boba and milk tea!…read more Service is great, and the drinks come out as fast as expected for this type of drink. The place is cute with couches and a nice seating area. They have caffine free options clearly marked and a good selection of them which is great for my kids. I like the option of adding different percentages of ice and sugar so it doesn't have to be too sweet or too much ice. They are in a strip mall with a large parking lot. so parking is easy to find. Spaces are small though!

I saw they had a taro coconut sago drink which really called my name - I love the taro/coconut combination and was super excited to try it. It's an ice blended drink which meant it did melt after a little. The initial sips were fantastic - really fresh taro flavor and creamy coconut. I did think once it started melting it became a little more sickly sweet. However, I really appreciate how it tasted like real taro. I'd come back to try some of their other drinks!

Was looking for a bubble tea place for our Seattle trip and found this spot. Saw the high reviews…read moreand decided to give them a try. A couple of things I noticed when I walked in: 1) Cute place 2) No boba smell 3) Quiet (I was the only customer) Yes, I do rate my tapioca pearls based on smell. Why? Because about 8 out of 10 places I've been to that has that aroma usually means to me that they are making fresh boba (or just made fresh boba) while no smell means old boba. Needless to say, I was not impressed, but I ordered the classic milk tea anyway. I can NOT not order something when I'm the only customer; can not just walk out. Yes, I also judge if the place is good or not by how popping it is. Hey, don't judge me. Drink was cheap for its size, including boba AND tax was $5.79. You definitely cannot beat that price anywhere. But you get what you paid for: the drink was watered down and my boba was stuck together. The clump got stuck in my fat straw, which was such a disappointment. I will not be coming back. Street parking, if you are lucky enough to find a spot on this busy main street. Take cash or card.

First of all, I didn't realize they have TWO locations! one in Tukwila, which I go to pretty often, and this one right by Alki. But y'all, WHAT IN THE TARNATIONS?! The Alki location is such a VIBE! It was a beautiful sunny day, and sitting there with the warm weather, Vietnamese music playing, and the food coming out... I swear I felt like I was back in Southeast Asia for a minute. I do wish they decorated the outdoor seating area a little more to really lean into that tropical Southeast Asian vibe because the location has SO much potential, but honestly, the atmosphere was already giving. And here's what surprised me: I didn't realize Natalie's at Alki serves REAL FOOD! We got: Crab & Shrimp Fried Rice SO GOOD. Flavorful, packed with seafood, and definitely hit the spot. Mango Salad , Y'ALL!! THIS ONE?! The combination of fresh mango and avocado on a sunny day was PERFECT. Sweet, fresh, creamy, refreshing. I could've eaten the whole bowl myself! Literally almost did had to share LOL! we got Fries because honestly, you can never go wrong with fries. And of course, you already know we had to get the drinks! Their kumquat sugarcane drink is always a good choice. They also have gelato at this location, which I didn't even know! So now I already have another excuse to come back and try more of their menu. Tukwila location does have food but menus are a little different, so now I definitely need to go back and compare! Overall, Natalie's Alki is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're spending the day at Alki Beach. Grab some food, get yourself a sugarcane drink, sit outside, listen to some Vietnamese music, and pretend you're on vacation in Southeast Asia for an hour.

We had an overall wonderful first dining experience at Natalie's. We look forward to many more visits and making this one of our regular spots. I can't wait to check out their other locations soon, such as their Tukwila location since I frequent that area often.
