There's limited options in my opinion. But service is pretty fast, and friendly and I'm in love with the Aloe you can add to your drinks. It's so yummy!! It's small it's not a place to go and drink with friends just big enough to pick up a drink and leave. But has a cute theme inside read more

Really cute location, tons of flavor options, drink options, affordableish pricing. We got a brown sugar boba and a strawberries & cream, both familiar drinks to us and both were really good. Good portions as well, would definitely return here. Service was friendly and quick! read more

This is a tucked away spot that's pretty easy to miss, but is really nice! I came by while walking along the lake and there wasn't anyone inside so we were helped immediately. 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! read more

A cute take-out boba shop with no table and two benches for waiting only. A few retail parking spots available in the attached garage. I came on a Friday around 2PM, and there was ample parking and no wait. I realized my boba experience is primarily dependant on whether the boba is good, so I'll start there. Boba - $0.75 as a topping, 3 out of 5 stars. Inside of the boba is on the harder side, not as chewier as I prefer. Tea - Four season oolong with milk cap, 75% sweet, 4 out of 5 stars. Creamy with a strong tea flavor, just how I like it. My entire drink is a little over $8. I like that they offer new monthly drinks. This month is lychee matcha latte (sounds interesting) and lychee fruit tea with hosuemade syrup. If you want to know what the monthly flavor is, follow them on IG read more

The servers were friendly and very efficient. They are dog friendly which is nice but there's not really much of a sit down area, aside from benches to wait for your order. They have lots of nondairy options but it's best to ask questions if you're worried about any of the powders (ie HK milk tea). Both our drinks were tasty and exactly the sweetness we ordered though maybe a little more ice than expected. The boba was the perfect consistency too! read more

Refreshing! Got the passion orange drink at tea king and it was super refreshing. I like the tea that they use for their drink. They're located on Dexter which lowkey might be hard to find parking but you can definitely go to the quieter street and walk up the hill. The service here was very quick. The shop inside is decorated with lots of cute decor! Big menu with lots of options. Helpful that they have their bestsellers out. Good spot for refreshing boba in slu. read more

This is one of my friends favorite boba shops. Finally stopped by yesterday ordered online cause I was hopping off the bus. It's right on the route 62 line about a block from the bus stop. My Tropical Punch at 25% sweet with aloe was waiting for me on the counter. Didn't have too much interaction with the staff but they were very friendly. Cute bright shop was decorated for LNY. Snapped a quick pic and went quickly to the bus stop as I had an appointment and didn't want to miss the next bus. Definitely will be back if I have time before my appointment again cause it was so fast to hop on and off. read more

Located in a more residential area since most businesses near by are not working in office much. Small shop. I ordered a drink and requested lice ice. Staff stated my only option was normal or no ice but if I choose no ice, that'll be a $0.50 charge. Wth. Absurd. Don't have you menu indicate the different level or ice or sweetness if it's not an option. read more

We checked this place out over the weekend. There is parking under the store but there is also street parking. It's a super small store with only benches so it's not a place where you can "hang out". Service was prompt We ordered Rose Milk tea with boba and Matcha Matcha In the Clouds with sago. I'm not a big boba fan but the boba was soft and chewy. I did enjoy the sago and the matcha was smooth and not gritty. The parking wasn't a problem but we parked in the retail garage spots. I will definitely stop in again if I am close by. read more

Strawberry tea? It's more like strawberry flavored water. Do not get this. I've come before for the mango sago drink and it was okay, but this time I wanted a fruit tea and decided on the strawberry. It was not good, and I could not finish after a few sips. As for location, there is limited street parking. The shop itself is small and can get crowded if many people are waiting inside. Not the most convenient or tasty, so I would say choose other options if you want a boba fix. read more

The people were very kind and it was tea king's 5th anniversary week so they had a spinner to get prizes. I got the brown sugar milk tea it was delicious and the tapioca was perfectly chewy. The place was really nice peaceful, I would definitely go there again read more

Got the mango coco sago on a hot Seattle summer day and it really hit the spot! This location is a bit further from where we live but we were really happy to discover it! Drinks are delicious, service is friendly and the inside is really clean and nice. Would come back again to try more of their items! read more

Definitely returning for Coffee + Hong Kong read more

Big yum! Order ahead online (they have a QR code on their door that recommends it) unless you don't mind the wait. They were decently busy on a Sunday afternoon. Really cute plant shop/boutique next door if you choose to wait! They text you when the order's ready, but I've noticed with these things they (boba shops with the text option) tend to send a text several minutes after it's actually ready if they're busy, so something to keep in mind if you're doing a frozen drink or something hot. Walking distance of lake union (note-big hill), great spot for a sunny day! Drinks were exactly as expected. No sipping lid for cream foam which is always strange to me bc can't enjoy the foam without making a mess, but flavors were great and not overly sweet! Peachy seasonal drink was fresh and delish. read more

This shop is so cute and small! There's parallel parking on the side with a tiniest bit of walking. We ordered a large matcha latte with sago ($7.25) and a regular assam black milk tea with oatmilk and boba ( $6.50). They use ceremonial grade matcha and it was so yummy and wasn't grainy at all! I was so happy they offered sago because matcha and sago are my two favorite things and now I can combine them! I can't wait to come back and try their mango coco sago! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Tried this place with my cousins while visiting Seattle. It is a very small shop. Once you head in, the ordering counter is there with a few spots to sit and wait. This is definitely a take it to go kind of shop. They have no restrooms available for the public. I got the mango coco sago. I usually don't enjoy the slushie style drinks, but this one was great. The ice was crushed properly and it was a smooth drink. I got full sugar, but could have gotten 75%. The mango really came through and it tasted good with the sago and lychee jelly mixed in. We had four drink orders and it did take them a while to have the drinks ready. read more

On a lovely 85 degree Saturday, I was craving something cold and sweet so I stopped by tea king for the first time. As I walked in, I saw their special "cloud series" so I decided to try the brown sugar drink and I'm glad I did! I got it at 100% sweetness which was great for me. The milk was very well flavored, and the consistency and taste of the boba was perfect! The shop was also not busy, with only one other person there at the same time, so I got my drink quite quickly, within 5 min. There appears to be no seating (other than benches) so a great place to grab and go. Will stop by again! read more

Tea King - Brown Taiga - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Tea King is a small boba shop with a good variety of tea, including Tie Guan Ying, and Four Seasons Tea. They kind of straddle that space between a full fledged tea house and a run-of-the-mill boba shop. They pre-brew two of their most popular teas, but if you order some others, I believe they fresh brew it in an espresso machine (I can't confirm this, but given that they have an espresso machine behind they counter, it would make sense). I got one drink, the store special, as I always do when I go for the first time to any boba place: TK Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.30) - This is a pre-brewed black and oolong tea blend. They add sugar syrup and half and half as they make your drink. The tea flavor comes through, just a classic black-type tea, with a bit of pleasing astringency to round things out. The boba is pretty hard in this drink and as a result, doesn't have a great chew. The boba texture isn't the best here, but I trust that their tea has good flavor. I would go again if I'm ever in the area again to try their other teas. This was more of a 3.5/5 type of drink, but I'm rounding up to a 4. read more

I've come back a few times to try other drinks and give their boba another try (as promised) and I was not disappointed! I got their peach dream with boba and it had such a fresh real peachy taste and the boba was perfectly cooked this time! The right amount of chew and squish haha. This will definitely become one of my regular boba spots. read more

There are very few boba places in Seattle that I truly like, and Tea King happens to be in that list! Located off of Dexter Ave, Tea King is a small boba spot with a high quality menu. I've been here a few times now, and every time my drink has always been good! One of their best drinks I would say is their Sago drinks. The Mango Sago was refreshing and fun to drink! Tea King is in one of the less convenient corners of Seattle to go to, but if you're in the area it's worth trying out! 4.5/5 read more

I can't believe I didn't know about this boba place located in Seattle! This place has been opened for over 2 years and they serve great boba. I got the brown sugar milk drink and it was sweet, savory, and tasteful. I loved my drink and the tapioca was soft and nicely chewy. We also got the mango sago drink. It was a good drink, however, the drink had a lot of the mango's fiber, so it felt like we were drinking some small, thin, plastic strings. The service was good. Our server was nice and answered any questions we had. The boba were made in a timely manner. I enjoyed the ambiance of the boba place. It was nicely decorated with wooden designs and plants. There's room to seat as you wait for your drink, however, not a place where you can relax and enjoy your drink. This is definitely my new go-to boba place! read more

Tea King feels like an often forgotten location for boba in Seattle and its quite a shame since the place is fairly good! It is a little bit easy to miss since it is on the bottom floor of apartment buildings next to a fairly fast street. Everything on the menu looks and sounds delicious and provides options for everyone to enjoy. Fruit tea lovers have a ton of options of teas and smoothies made from fresh fruits. We ordered a strawberry matcha, black sesame milk tea, and a hot regular milk tea. All the drinks were not too sweet and you can really taste the black sesame. The matcha tasted good without being too milky or being hidden by sugar. If you're near SLU and are looking for a good boba spot, this is a hidden gem that you should check out! read more

I've visited twice and have been pretty underwhelmed and disappointed each time. I ordered the brown Taiga and it felt like I was drinking a large cup of milk, not as "brown sugar" as I thought it would be. The second time, I ordered the orange passion with a 25% sweetness level and it was intensely sweet. Outside of the actual tea, the staff is kind and the shop was very clean! I have found many better tea options at a better price, but my friends and many other people seem to love it! I would try it for yourself since so many people differ on their tea preference. read more

This is the best bubble tea shop ever and my go-to spot! It has unique and creative but familiar flavors (I love that they have fresh instead of powdered Taro!) The service is always quick and the store has this lovely brown sugar smell that's so welcoming and ties the overall vibe together. read more

Came during the grand opening a long while ago and was impressed.Not much, if at all has changed since but this review does lean more on my first visit. The boba was fantastic being sweet but the texture was a bit firmer so it's chewy, but not soft. The tea was not bad either. They do have a limited, smaller menu but that means they are able to specialize in certain drinks rather than trying to appeal to lots of taste buds and not excelling. I think the tea they have here is pretty strong as it can keep my friends and I up compared to other boba if we drink it in the evening. That's a testimony to their authentic tea I suppose. Mango Coco Sago - fruity and refreshing mango drink, especially perfect on a hot day. The sago was whatever, I much prefer their boba. TK Milk Tea - the classic seems to be made from black tea. Though nothing exceptionally crazy, it was delightful in the ratio of milk to tea. Tea was evident yet there was a good creaminess. read more

I don't even know where to start with this review, but I know my heart and life will end with Tea king. Every time I commute this far distance to Seattle, I always make sure to stop at my absolute favorite and most idolized boba tea shop I have ever been to within my entire life. The drive can be 30 minutes to an hour, but I will walk to the ends of the world for this boba tea. The flavor, texture, freshness, aroma, and atmosphere is simply unmatched and I'm at a loss of words for every shock I receive when I go back and the tea is still as fragrant and fresh as ever. I don't like to give places credit, but credit is due here. And everyone who says "there's nowhere to sit, it's too small." This is a BOBA tea shop, you can live for 5-10 minutes (since the service is quick) by not sitting your bum down. Thank you Tea King . I am forever indebted to this establishment for the joy and wonders it provides me. (btw my favorite drink from here is the Strawberry Matcha with boba but anything is good) read more

One of my favorite boba places in Seattle! They are a pretty small shop with no seating in the Westlake area but the tea is great! I've tried their matcha strawberry latte and a strawberry jasmine milk tea - both of which are really good and I could taste the tea. They also have cute free stickers of their logo and merch as well! Would highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area! read more

Expected great things based on the prior reviews! Thought it would be a great experience to have sago inside a ice blended drink. Unfortunately the experience fell short of my expectations. I expected the sago to be mixed with sweetened coconut milk, but my first several sips were just plain unflavored sago as if it was sitting in plain water. It does seem like they use frozen fruit instead of powdered mixes which I appreciated, but the taste was average at best and the price point was higher than many other boba places in the area. The location is also a bit off the beaten path. Good for residential customers living in the area, but I probably won't be back given so many boba shops to try. read more

The sago.... Amazing honestly I was so afraid to try because I had never had it before but the worker explained it so perfectly and was so sweet. It's become one of my favorite shops. Amazing music, feels like a place that becomes a regular when you want a pick me up and know you'll love the drinks. read more

Was excited for a tea place to open up near me but after trying them, I was pretty disappointed. Their selection is very small - just be aware - they offer pretty much only 5-6 selections in different forms. So if you are not into those selections, you are out of luck. I don't know what it is, but I've just had a really hard time finding my taro bubble tea in this area..... I got the HK Milk Tea - I felt like the tea was overbrewed and more bitter than I'm use to at least. The topping was underwhelming. The staff was friendly and nice and I wish this little shop well. It's just not my type of tea place but if their selections speak to you, go for it! read more

My coworkers and I decided to come here to try since it was somewhat close to work. We came a little before they were supposed to open but they were nice enough to open their doors for us :) All of us got the same drink with different level of sweetness (0% , 50%, 100%). We got their signature tea king milk tea with boba. The price was pretty reasonable for what you get. However, the boba is way too tiny to make it satisfying. If they were to use tiny boba, they should increase the amount. At all the other boba places nearby, I am able to get a generous amount of boba each time I take a sip. However, here, some sip has boba, and some don't. And when I do get boba, it's too tiny to be satisfied. The tea flavor is ok as well, a little diluted so not as strong. Overall, it's an ok place. read more

Tea King - Tk milk tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here to try out the newest boba place by me (have to try them all!) and found it to be a little below average. First off, it's in a slightly inconvenient location because it is really hard to find parking near here and there are very steep hills. There are a few commercial parking spots in the apartment building lot if you get lucky! I tried their TK tea with boba, which had a good tea taste but the boba was hard and not good at all. I didn't try anything else, so it could be just that boba itself isn't their specialty but I do have a few other options close by that I prefer. read more

It was July 4th. We had just visited MoPOP at the Seattle Center. All the water fountains are turned off; I was so thirsty... The Armory was open, but most places have not re-opened yet. Lemonades, sodas, and Starbucks sum it up, i.e., boring or normal. Luckily, awesome drink places are popping up faster than Starbucks (sorry Starbucks). Whipped out the phone and quickly found Tea King just a few minutes drive away. Located on the west side of South Lake Union, they are in a combo use building and there is parking for retail underneath. Bonus points! On hot days, our preference is refreshing fruit teas. Theirs are GOOD. We tried: - Kiwi Green Tea, 75% sugar for him - Watermelon Green Tea with grass jelly, 25% sugar for me Both are accented with fresh fruits. For the watermelon one, there is a very generous amount of fresh watermelon. Their grass jelly is homemade and silky smooth. A big thumbs up for this. The menu looks to be expanded compared to the older reviews. Lots of good options now, even though we only tried fruit teas. read more

I was waiting for a boat cruised and came across Tea King. Their logo definitely brought me in and I loved it! There's even the character for tea on the emperor's "hat". I ordered TK special which was black milk tea. The milk tea comes with half and half but I swapped it for oat milk. The drink overall was good. You could taste the tea but it was a little too dilute for me. The boba was sweet but on the firmer side of it. My friend got the watermelon jasmine tea with sago and it was really good. The watermelon was sweet and flavorful. Overall, Tea King was okay. read more
