    I got Boba Green Milk Tea with Creama, which was just right. It's $7, which is a bit cheaper than most boba places. The girl who was working on a Saturday by herself was very nice.

    Mango Passionfruit Tea

    So I saw a lot of reviews about that place and I was very excited where I was going to this place. Unfortunately my experience was not good as I expected. My drink wasn't like on the picture on the menu and I was really confused about that. Cus on the picture you see the one drink but you got the opposite one so it was not good. Another thing is that the service was kind of slow? Like my drink was really only in another 15 minutes which is kind of slow. Also I think the lady didn't even know what was the ingredient for my drink and when I asked her like a simple question she was really struggling to answer. So yeah the tea was not that bad but my experience was really bad.

    Power lychee tea

    All three fruit teas were quite watery and barely had tea flavor. Orange tea - tasted like watered down orange juice with pulp Grapefruit passion tea - was missing the passion fruit as far as we could tell. The worst of the three - mostly tasted like water with grapefruit pulp. Power lychee tea - tasted like watered down lychee juice, with some lychee pulp. Very faint tea flavor. Service - order from tablet or directly with cashier. But there were only 2 drinks ahead of us and one online order, but it took 25 minutes to get our drinks?

    Found this cute little Boba shop on a walk with my dog. Very cute sitting area with a lot of light. Very cute for a coffee date. Amazing customer service, fast and speedy. He was very sweet and even offered my dog a treat. They have a lot of different options, milk teas, regular fruit teas and slushy. They also have breakfast sandwiches and little pastries. I got a mango passion tea with 30% sugar. I really liked it a lot! They do use fruit cause it was a bit on the sweet side for me, plus I got chunks of passion fruit and mango. Not a lot but a good amount. Next time I will do 0% and let the fruit sweeten it.

    Taro Milk Tea with boba

    Cute little boba spot across from redmond park. All orders are placed on tablets which I don't always prefer as it results in little to no human interaction but, if that's your jam this is your spot I ordered the taro milk tea with boba, definitely hit the spot and I also enjoyed their packaging with rounded bottom cups. Price point is comparable to your chain boba places such as sharetea or happy lemon. If you're in the area or headed to the park, solid boba spot to get your fix

    Late night boba run, the only one opens till 9 in the Redmond area. Thank goodnes!!! The staff prepared my drink really fast.

    Green Tea Creama w/ Boba & Boba Milk Tea
    Courtney L.

    If it wasn't for Yelp, I may never have discovered Meetea Cafe in Redmond. It is on the first floor of the Ravello apartment complex in a corner that is easy to miss if you're not actively looking for it. Despite its covert location, four other customers visited at the same time as us on a Friday at 2:30... an ideal time for afternoon tea! Upon entering, we stepped up to a self-ordering kiosk and selected a Boba Milk Tea, Green Tea Cheese Creama, Cheese Red Bean Toast and Taro Sauce + Pork Floss Toast. There are only two kiosks, so the entrance can get pretty congested as the café is already on the smaller end with just a few tables and counter seating. The ordering process also minimizes interaction with the staff which felt a bit odd. When your order is ready, an automated voice calls your number to pick it up at the counter. While fairly efficient, atmosphere of this tea shop didn't give me the warm fuzzies. With our drinks and toasts in tow, we headed back to our car and dug into our toasts first. Both consisted of toasted white bread pressed together like a panini with a scoop of filling in the middle. We weren't huge fans of either toast, but between the two, I preferred the one with pork floss. The fluffy pork floss was slightly sweet and salty which paired well with the sweet and nutty taro sauce on top. The cheese red bean toast was extremely messy and they used whole beans which were pretty bland. A red bean paste would have been way better. The cheese aspect of the filling tasted like a cheesecake, but it was super thin and kept spilling out of the bread. As for my Green Tea Cheese Creama ($4.50 + $0.50 boba), it was quite strong at first sip. The combination of 50% ice and 0% sugar was great as the boba was already sweetened as well. At most places, tea with a cheese cap is typically served with a lid that has a sip opening. However, Meetea uses the plastic film covering for all drinks, so I vigorously stirred in all the cream to ensure it wouldn't be the only thing left in my cup once I finished the tea. My companion found her Boba Milk Tea ($4.50) disappointing as it tasted mainly of milk and the tea was very weak. We both thought the boba had a nice chew, but noticed that it was slightly hard in the center, so it may have been a bit undercooked. We would return in the future to give their drinks another try, but do not consider the toasts worth ordering again.

    Boba Taro Dirty Milk with Creama Lychee/strawberry slush

    Meetea you've got my attention. I enjoyed trying some new bubble tea here, they have unique flavors, and it is a order yourself type of iPad situation. I would recommend trying the toast dessert they offer, while it is a little bit pricier for a simple piece of bread dessert, it did taste good and it was not too sweet and really enjoyable. You can customize what percentage of sweetness you want on their drinks, and the drinks are made quickly. Definitely a new spot to visit in the future.

    Purple Rice Green Milk Tea & Taro Milk Tea
    Joey W.

    Wanted some boba after dinner so found this place on Yelp. I don't see a lot of places with purple rice so decided to try it out. Purple rice green milk tea - the green milk tea was so bitter. I think the batch of the green tea was old. I was extremely disappointed. I ordered a 16oz but the cashier charged me for a 20oz so I ended up getting 20oz of bitter tea. Purple rice was good but that was it. Taro milk tea - the taro milk tea was what you'd expect at a quickly's or tapioca express but still better than the purple rice green milk tea. The boba was overcooked and super gooey.

    Boba Milk Tea, Cheese Boba Toast
    Eric C.

    I visited in Oct 2019, so the menu and experience may differ now. When I tried it, the boba was average to below average. Which is fine but there are multiple Taiwanese boba franchises in Redmond now so it's difficult to justify choosing them when Happy Lemon, YiFang, and ShareTea are a few blocks away. The part that left me confused about their authenticity was their 1. boba toast food offerings and 2. milk based desserts. I'm a firm believer in attempting new desserts with boba but this boba toast wasn't it. It made no sense to add boba to warmed up bread and it obviously isn't worth the price. Not pictured but we also tried a milk based dessert that was served in a bowl with some classic taro balls or rice balls in it. Very confusing since the base was literally just unflavored lukewarm milk, usually such desserts are served in a mango purée, purple rice, or coconut milk. Seems like consumers in the greater Seattle area are aware of what good Asian desserts should be like and yet they presented the worst version of them. Service was a little slow but friendly, back in 2019 they had just opened. The decor resembled an upscale tea room, all white everything. If you ever see boba toast at a boba place-- run.

    Strawberry lychee slush with purple rice substitute and coconut milk with sago and purple rice
    Katrina M.

    I just discovered this bubble tea place yesterday and have been there twice already! As a self-proclaimed boba snob (lol), it's so good that this just might be my new all-time favorite! So far I've tried three drinks, the grapefruit slush, the strawberry lychee slush and the coconut milk with sago and purple rice. All three are winners! The grapefruit slush was very bright and refreshing, and it came loaded with pulp! I ordered half sweet, so it was tart but in a good way. I don't like too sweet, but this one seems safe to do at full sugar. The strawberry lychee was outstanding at half and full sweet. To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference between the levels, but I had them a day a part, so you can't go wrong! The coconut milk drink was perfect also. The add ins really gave it a nice texture and it wasn't too sweet of artificial like other coconut drinks from elsewhere can be. Really liked this a lot as well. For both slushes, I asked to substitute purple rice as the add in. While I love boba, I love purple rice even more. As their staff advised me, I selected a topping on their order system and then wrote in the notes that I wanted purple rice. I also told the staff their as well in case they didn't see. This really made the drinks perfect. Meetea, I hope you will add in purple rice as an option in your system for all your drinks, that's my only flag. Other than that, I'll be back, a lot. Probably a scary number of times, if I'm honest with myself!

    Was looking to have a good cold boba around the place and this was the only cafe open at that time so we visited. Parking is on the street only. Nice sitting space inside good for small as well as big groups. Seeing the worn off face of the barista I ordered:- Taro Milk Tea:- With 50% sweetness, I knew I wont be getting a good boba topping so I did not even ask for it. The drink tasted of taro flavored water. Was milk even added? Wouldn't have come here seeing the reviews, wish businesses would close a little later so the options are not such.

    Fresh off the plane from San Francisco, my daughter and family took me here for dinner…read more Izakaya reminded me of shops offering skewers in Tokyo, my not here, it is more modern fusion Japanese restaurant. We had a bowl of chips served with adamame dip, sooo good! Then chirashi, pomegranate honey black cod, butter clams and udon and tempura for my grandson. Everything was very delicious! We also added some nigiri but I forgot the pictures. We were full for dessert, sooo next time! Service was awesome, friendly and on point. We came early, but the restaurant was full by the time we left.

    I will start by giving props to Supa Banana for their absolutely fantastic chicken karaage. The way…read morethey do the fry is pretty unique, it's more flaky than typical karaage and really light and tasty! It was the first dish that came out, so I ended up having pretty high expectations for the rest of the meal. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal did not live up to those high expectations. I ordered the unagi char siew which seemed really popular here and on Google, but it was just OK and a bit too salty for me. The wagyu udon was also just OK, but the soft boiled egg tasted like one of those preserved soft-boiled eggs you can buy pre-packaged at the store (weirdly rubbery and vinegary tasting). If I ever came back, it would probably just be for karaage and drinks. The drink pictured here is the hot chocolate hojicha, which was solid. I like their creative drink combinations and how they serve them--this one had a chocolate-covered marshmallow floating on top which was nice.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #116…read more I haven't visited Molly Tea since the Grand Opening, but I saw the boba shop recently added brown sugar boba as a topping and I had to give it a revisit. Not to mention that I also wanted to do a direct comparison between the Premium Jasmine here and at UG tea. The result? Molly comes out on top by a large margin, although UG is much cheaper. Molly gives a smaller portion size (16oz vs large 22oz) and yet costs more then UG. Premium Jasmine Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7.98) - The milk tea is thick, luscious almost like cream with fragrant, rounded flowery notes. The jasmine flavor is deep, filling the olfactory glands and taste buds with a rich fragrance, which finishes into a nutty and earthy barley-like essence. In comparison, UG Tea offers a thinner drink that offers a good but flatter jasmine flavor, then laces it with a somewhat overbrewed tannic tea quality. Still good in comparison with most boba shops, but noticeably worse than Molly. Unfortunately the boba isn't great - I can see why they didn't have it as an option before. While very sweet and minerally from the brown sugar soak, the texture is a too soft. Decent bounce, but the boba compresses too easily on the tongue. The pearls are also not uniform spheres, instead having rough crags all along the exterior. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 I'm still leaving Molly as a 5*, but if this had been my first experience I probably would have set it as 4* given the subpar boba quality. They still have top tier milk tea though! One last thing - this place is still really busy. I expected things to die down since it's been open for a year now. Nope, on my Sunday afternoon visit, it still took over 20 minutes between the line and waiting for my drink.
