I first heard of this through the YouTube family vloggers I watch. So when I knew I'd be heading up north, I had to stop here. There were sooo many options! It was a bit overwhelming. I ended up going with the peach mango slush & my bf got the chamoy slush. Both were so refreshing for a hot sunny day. They weren't watered down, the perfect flavor. Boba was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his drink as well. So glad we stopped here,it was so worth it! Definitely go check them out. read more

I used to always hit up the pochi's in lynnwood back in the golden days First time coming to the Kirkland location--quality is still the same! Haven't had taro in forever so I decided to get their taro strawberry shake. Fire. Also, decided to try their egg pudding topping versus boba anddddd, fire. The homie got their cinnamon crunch shake with marshmallows and he liked that ish, too. Workers were efficient + nice. Chance em! read more

Hands down one of the best boba places in the area! So many different options including bobas and jellies. It's always clean. There's tables with card games you can play at and I think some board games as well. You can order online ahead of time, or on a tablet or at the counter. Perfect little pick me up for a boba spot! They do serve some actual food but I think the menu for that is pretty limited. read more

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe - One of the best milk tea that i have in a while. The black sugar milk tea was yummy as well. Not too sweet. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

TL;DR: on the pricier side, you are charged for less/no ice option. Overly sweet in my opinion -- try to not get 100% sweetness. Parking: street side only Atmosphere: small cafe setting with some board games to use while visiting. Menu: digital menu on the wall leading up to the register. Non-descriptive and no images -- drink titles only. Adjusting to have more sugar costs extra. Adjusting to have less or no ice costs extra as well $0.25 and $0.50. Service: walk in and order at the kiosk or at the register. White Rabbit Shake: pretty artificial tasting if you ask me. The boba was tasty though. Salted Caramel Shake: Tasty and strong. If you have a sweet tooth you should get this. I think it was a bit overpowering though. Boba: nice chewy texture and you can really taste the brown sugar. read more

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe is a nice place in the Juanita Beach neighborhood of Kirkland, offering a long list of different boba drinks, slushees, shakes, fruit teas, etc., as well as some snack items. But the best part about this place is that it's dog friendly, and when I say dog friendly, I mean, you can bring your dog inside - not just out in the outdoor seating area. Love it! I was meeting up with a friend for some boba and we decided to check this place out. I had no idea how dog friendly it was until I saw the sign that indicated so and they even have some dog friendly items on the menu! So fun! But I mean, the mascot of Pochi is a shiba, so of course this is the case. If you're looking for a spot to hang out with your dog indoors, this is a great option. We visited on a Friday afternoon and the place was very quiet, with just us hanging out inside. There are plenty of tables for groups as well as a couch area for hanging out. The menu is featured on a screen on the wall, and it's massive. Whatever kind of drink you're into, they have it here. It's a little overwhelming, but at least you know there's something for everyone here, especially if you come with a group. I ended up getting a Taro Oreo shake, which was solid. The taro was nice and liked the Oreo blended throughout. My friend enjoyed her classic milk tea with boba. They have a bunch of different toppings to add for your drink. For snacks, they have popcorn chicken, tots, etc, with different dipping sauces. It didn't take long for us to get our orders. I would come back and try more of the menu, especially knowing that I can bring dogs here! Make a dog date with your friends and hang out here. Just know that parking is only in the Juanita Village parking area, which only allows for two hours or you can find street parking if you plan to hang out longer. read more

I've come to this Pochi a few times since it opened bc I love their Asian Pear slush! I used to go to the Lynnwood location for this specific drink but haven't been there in years since I've moved farther away from it, so I was so glad to see it open up in Kirkland and even more glad to see that their menu is the same! I've only tried the Asian Pear slush so I can't speak for any other drink, but I really just love this flavor. It actually doesn't taste exactly like Asian Pear, but more like regular pears. I also don't normally get toppings in my milk tea, but I've tried both boba and lychee jelly with this drink and they both go well with it. Oh and some toppings here are "included" so there's no extra charge for either of those toppings! If you're looking for a refreshing drink and like pears, try the Asian Pear slush here! I promise you it's good! read more

Been here about three times and although this place is well reviewed, I find that the drinks here are pretty mid. Got the Taro and Honeydew milk teas. Got less sugar but was still pretty sweet, the flavouring also tasted slightly artificial. I've also gotten their specials (Razzle Dazzle and Electric Mango). It was expensive considering it was basically flavoured soda. If you are looking for a place with good milk tea flavours, Pochi might not be the place for you. I think their specialization is in fruit drinks, and more trendy/gimmicky options. read more

Service was great and quick. Lady at the cashier helped us to choose our drinks. First time at the store and definitely not our last visit. The taro bubble tea tasted better than the peach tea. The boba was a little bit on the harder, chewier side which I don't mind at all. In fact I prefer it that way but my husband said he wished it wasn't as hard... Reasonably priced. They have alternatives to dairy milk. Wide selection of fun drinks to choose from. Store is quite spacious. They got their own merchandise and cards which are absolutely hilarious. Stop by if you're in the area!! read more

You could walk me in there blund-folded and I would know where I am just by the smell. Thats how many times I've gone. I always get the Strawberry Kiwi Banana shake with... let's just say a lot of toppings, lol. Anyway, this place is amazing. The only bad experience I've had was this one time the boba in my drink tasted like rubber and was not in the shape of the pearl, but more like fruit leather. Thats not gonna put my rating down tho. Absolutely 5 stars :3 read more

Fun cafe with so many options for flavours of boba! We had to have ours remade because even 25% sweet was very very sweet but they were really understanding and nice here! Boba and jelly are great toppings and both milk and fruit teas are great. We've been here twice in 2 weeks! read more

We love Pochi! Kirkland has been needing a solid boba spot. Every time we go the team is so helpful -- If you ever want to know what you should get, don't be afraid to ask for their guidance! My husband tried Wintermelon at their recommendation and now it's his new fav. I'm about the taro milk tea with boba and taro pudding. Always hits the spot without being too sweet. The boba is on point as well. We've never had sad, mushy pearls. This is a great place to relax by yourself or with a group. Give it a shot! read more

I adore Pochi. We head in whenever we need a sweet drink. The whole family has a favorite. I love the mango milk tea with Boba and added creme. My mom loves the caramel banana shake and my husband loves their watermelon slush. Our kids like trying new combinations. Pochi is such a quirky place that just has a fun vibe. read more

A sweet little boba spot. The tapioca has a soft chewy consistency that doesn't taste bland. There's a huge variety of sugary flavors and options to choose from. There was throwback r&b and pop music playing in the background while we waited for our order. My son was watching SpongeBob on the tv too. They have plenty of cool merch. I also like the logo, because who doesn't like dogs? 5 outta 5 read more

Open late! Not as many food options as the one in lynnwood. Also, I feel the one in Lynnwood has a certain charm, it could be that there's a parking lot pretty much for Pochi's and don't need to do street parking. Service is always a 10/10. They know how to pick great employees! Decor is cute! I'll be back because I love that they have Red Bull options - and I love that there are so many options! I think that I am just so used to loving the Lynnwood one that I am not totally set on this Kirkland one yet. read more

There are so many bubble tea places popping up nowadays, so I'm always trying to find places doing or offering something slightly more unique. Pochi's menu is massive, which is awful for indecisive people like me! There's a touch screen menu and I probably stood there for 5+ minutes just scrolling through everything. Besides basic bubble tea and slushes, their shakes are probably going to be my go to order. The Coffee Almond and Banana Chocolate flavors were on point and definitely makes me want to return to try some more. They're definitely not the cheapest items (boba was included at least), but the quality lives up to it. There's some main street parking in front of the store, otherwise a there's a large lot around the corner with other commercial businesses. read more

I wanted to try this place out since we were in the area. The shop is nice and clean looking. The staff is good and present a nice looking drink. I got the chai tea drink with egg custard and taro pudding. Kids got a Mango Shake and Lychee Slushy. My drink was light on the chai but it wasn't bad. The Mango drink was pretty decent. The Lychee slushy was also light on flavor. Not sure if we'd be back. We'll see... ;-) read more

Not being able to adjust the drink sweetness is a big negative and hints at the quality of the drinks. We ordered three drinks (match creamy shake, strawberry creamy shake, and oolong milk tea) and they all taste way too sweet. All drinks come in one size and pricing is high for this low quality of a drink. I definitely would not be coming back for the drinks. read more

I wish pochi opened here earlier because I'll be moving out of Kirkland soon!! This place is perfect to work and to hang out with friends. I highly recommend their Taro Oreo, I've never had it anywhere that's better than Pochi :) I also think pochi specializes in slushes and shakes better than the actual milk tea. If you're looking for some BOMB milk tea, I'll look elsewhere. But for a good slush or smoothie, pochi is one of the best! read more

It's a very cute location and I love their corgi logo! Took off a star because it's quite expensive for a cup of boba - came out to be around 7 bucks per boba. I would say that their boba has a nice texture but for their tea it wasn't as prominent as I would've hoped for. We got the brown sugar boba and the jasmine milk tea + boba. Tbh, the brown sugar boba tasted much better than the jasmine one - so I would recommend getting that one. They also add an extra 25 cents for less ice, but mine came out still half filled with ice which was a bummer ~ Regardless, it's a great, clean, modern place to hang out but I wouldn't be too sure if I would come back again :) read more

Alright, YUM! Our drinks were fabulous, and this is our new top boba spot!! A super convenient location with cute decor, offers a delicious looking menu with great customer service. We got black milk tea with salt crema & the mango slush. Perfectly sweet and creamy!! My only request would be sipping lids so those with crema's could sip them rather than using a straw so we can enjoy the topping! We are both so excited to be back, yum! read more

If you like bubble tea- this is the place for you. If you don't like bubble tea- this is still the place for you. There are so many wonderful flavors to choose from here, from classic milk teas, and into the territory of shakes and smoothies. There's an ordering kiosk for those nervous and shy folk, but you're also welcome to go up to the register for those who prefer talking to an actual person. None of the drinks automatically come with any additions, so if you like you're drink with nothing else in it- then perfect, but if you want something it's all completely customizable. Very friendly for first time boba drinkers, with many options for those that want something new, all the while being located by plenty of places to eat. Love this location. read more

Found this place on a whim and it did not disappoint! Super fast service and I was able to get my drink in less then 5mins. Got the classic black milk tea since it was my first time trying this place and it was delicious. You can actually taste the fresh tea flavor with the milk and it's not overly sweet. I will be back for sure to try their extensive money. They also have some food options if you're having some munchies and want something to snack on like fries Plenty of parking on the street! read more

Was pleasantly surprised by how good this bubble tea spot was. Definitely have more of the unique and sweet drinks instead of the traditional teas. Some cool things are they have a lot of slushy and smoothie options and they allow you to add as many toppings as you want without paying extra charge. read more

Imagine this: let's prepare a bowl of cereal. Get a box of Lucky Charms and mix it in a bowl of milk. Then enjoy! After you finish the cereal, you're left with a bowl of residue sugar milk, with the sweetness enhanced by the marination of the cereal that was once bathing in the milk. Ok, get that cereal milk and pour it into a boba cup. And tada: you get Pochi. I ordered the red bean milk tea with boba, and it was just so weird. So weird that it left me baffled and wondering what the heck did I order. The drink tasted so artificial and not great, and despite ordering it at 50% sugar level, it was just so oddly sweet. I can bet my right arm that it was made with powder, and I was on the verge of throwing it away without even drinking half of it. And to top it off: what the heck Pochi. I NEVER had to pay $0.25 cents for LESS ICE. Yeap my fellow readers, wrap your brain around that. $0.25. For LESS ICE. After pondering on the illogicality of the charge, I guess they would have to make, dare I say, a tablespoon more of the drink to fill the cup up to the brim? But to charge $0.25 screams highway robbery and greedy owners. With that said, I ordered it with regular ice, and man, the amount of ice in the drink can be used to build an igloo for a family of Eskimos. The sheer audacity. I don't understand the raving reviews, sorry. If I want boba in Kirkland, I would rather drive to Lynwood or Bellevue to avoid this trap. read more

So excited that there's a boba shop within walking distance from Juanita beach! This will be a perfect stop on hot summer days for a refreshing drink. I tried the Hokkaido milk tea with boba. It didn't look like there were options on the menu to change sweetness or ice levels, and the employee did not offer these options either. The milk tea was a little on the sweet side for me, so I'd ask next time to reduce the sugar level. A cup was also touch more expensive than I was expecting, $7 before tip. The space was nice and clean with plenty of seating. It looks like a great place to come and hang out or even just to work or study. read more

My favorite bubble tea place! This is my first time trying out their kirkland location and happy to report that it did not disappoint. I got the mango milk tea with boba, mango jelly and lychee jelly toppings (bottomings?). So good!!! One drawback was that the menu did not mention no ice, less sugar options. I'll have to remember to ask for no ice and less sugar the next time I go there. I was left with a huge pile of ice on top of some boba and jelly after I was done with my drink. read more

Pochi is my new go to for boba! They have a huge list of drinks and everything i've had so far is fantastic. There is a great variety from teas to shakes and smoothies depending if you wanted something more smooth or substantial. Another thing i love is that their topping list has so many that are free or super cheap to add on so i feel like i can experiment a lot more than many other places. Due to their extensive menu and fairly low cost i am going to keep coming back and trying something new each time read more

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe - Pineapple Slush, Coffee Milk Tea - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Decently-sized bubble tea and snack/dessert cafe in Juanita. Direct parking is street parking only, but Juanita itself has tons of parking space in its various plazas which are a very short walk away. Atmosphere (4.5 out of 5): To me, the best part of Pochi is its atmosphere, the designs and vibes are cute and friendly, good for a solo work excursion, a quick takeout snack, or hanging out in a group. Seating is ample and the music is good. Service (3.5 out of 5): Pochi offers either tablet-order or standard counter order. Pick up is self-serve at the counter. Unfortunately, the tablet order menu isn't super clear - it only really has drink names and few images with few indications of what is included and what is considered an add-on. Food (3 out of 5): Overall, super, super sweet - especially the specialty drinks and smoothies. Highly recommend reducing sweetness percentage to start and then working your way up. The drinks were good but not overly great or fantastic - and if I had to pick I would say it's more artificial flavors than authentic. A comparable would be Bobalust which I think is a step up. Value (2 out of 5) - Definitely on the pricier side - they also charge for less/no ice which was a surprise for me ordering at the counter (they also didn't mention it when ordering). Portions are standard-size cups. Overall, it took a couple visits to adjust to and understand how to order drinks to my liking. While I think there's better priced and better tasting options, Pochi isn't "bad" by any means and is always an option to stop by for a nice vibe, either solo or in a group. read more

So glad there's a location near me now! I used to frequent the Lynwood location. There's such a wide variety of flavors and toppings I absolutely love it. My go to is either the cotton candy shake, or the lychee+guava black tea with lychee jelly. So good! read more

I've had pochis at Lynwood for many years but wasn't anything special. While neither pochis are on the same level as other boba places, this location did taste way better than the Lynnwood location for some reason. 25% sweetness was perfect and the boba was warm and chewy. Even the taro smoothies were delicious at 25% sweetness. read more

I'm not sure what the appeal is here. $7 for a cup of bubble tea is ludicrous. I got the day dream which was a pretty sweet slush even at 50%. Flavor was okay, but tasted super syrupy My wife got a matcha milk tea with boba and it tasted so bad, we both agreed we'd throw it straight into the trash even after paying what I still consider crazy expensive price. The matcha tasted super fake for some reason and ultimately I'd probably never come back here. +5 points for a cute Shiba design tho read more

Love this shop. My High School daughters and I enjoy a late-nite run here now and then. The slushes are high quality and real fruit, and their milk teas (Taro, Thai, and Brown Sugar) are fantastic. Get the mini-boba and make your drink a lot less work that traditional boba size! Nice size menu of options and the staff are very helpful in suggesting combinations you might not have tried before. Nice tall tables to study and visit, with power and USB available for charging! read more

Super yummy drinks! Love that you can mix and match so many different flavors and customize sweetness. My favorite is Taro with Boba (and with no added sweetener). read more
