I've been once before this last visit (hence the 2 star). It's the closest boba shop near Pike Place Market, so I skipped Salt & Straw and went here. Walked in and there was no one at the front. But there is a kiosk to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is so hot, a few mins in and I'm sweating and there's barely any fresh air to breathe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After ordering $30 worth of boba. Someone finally comes up and starts making our drink. I get my drink and it looks really wrong, I had added foam to my drink (which costed extra) and it's just plain and clear. I walk out debating if I should say something. Sip my drink and it's bland and the boba itself has no flavor. I walk back and nicely ask about the missing foam. He takes it back and makes me a new one. It's not great the second time around either. Someone else's drink had more fillings than the actual drink. A couple of us take a loss and toss our drinks. Most likely will not be going again.
It's across the street from Target near the entrance of Pike Place. I ordered the top selling Brown Sugar with Cream mousse and well... I placed my order on a kiosk and very quickly got my order. Unfortunately, it's not brown sugar boba, it's unflavored cooked boba and mini boba. It's barely even milk tea, I don't taste the tea or even the brown sugar. For 7$ I can't see myself coming back to this location.
Got here at noon and was the third in line. Ordered from the kiosk and waited for about three minutes before I got my drink. Friendly staff! Black Sugar Mochi Boba w/o Cheese Cream 4/5: The boba is a bit too hard to chew. A little too sweet. Love the mochi though! Passion Fruit Oolong Tea w/Jelly 4/5: Adjusted the sweetness to 75% but still a little too sweet for my liking. Other than that, love the combo!
I am visiting Seattle from out of state. I came to Tiger sugar for milk tea and they were so nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sat in the shop for a while and was told I could stay for as long as I wanted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is a must try! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have pretty cold things around the shop as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10!
I find that Tiger Sugar locations normally serve above average boba, usually around a 4 out of 5. Since they mainly focus on milk based black sugar drinks, their milk teas suffer a little bit, making my preference to peruse other boba shops unless Tiger Sugar is convenient to visit. This was the case the last time I was near Westlake for lunch - Tiger Sugar is one of only two boba shops in that area, so I made it priority to visit after eating. T5 Black Sugar Boba Black Tea Latte with Cream Mousse, 50% Sweet, Less Ice, XL, Lactaid ($7.70) - This milk tea has a surprisingly strong black tea flavor. It's kind of a generic tea fannings Lipton-esque kind of flavor, but it's pleasingly strong in a drink that Tiger Sugar usually inundates with milk and sugar. They don't add too much milk in the drink, just a small splash on top, making the drink much darker in color than what I've received in the past. I guess this location has a different recipe compared to other Tiger Sugars? I did see the bobarista hand add the black sugar syrup, which could make the drinks rather inconsistent between visits. The sweetness level is a bit too high for me at half and would probably opt for 25% next time. The ice level at half is pretty good. The boba is also surprisingly good. Again, I've found other Tiger Sugar locations usually serve a 4/5 boba, with the boba being typically too soft. This one compresses easily on the tongue, but bounces back into a sphere immediately afterwards. It starts firming up a bit more after five or ten minutes in the drink which allows the chewy bounce to really shine. The pearls have a bit of a velvety exterior layer, indicative of a sugar soak, and display a slight level of sweetness. The sizing is a little inconsistent for some reason. Most of the pearls are standard Tiger Sugar size (e.g. a bit larger than the typical tapioca ball), but some pieces seemed to be a little shrunken. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 This is a surprisingly solid Tiger Sugar for milk tea. Usually I have to stick with the black sugar milk drinks, but I would actually return here for the milk tea. Note: Tiger Sugar charges 35 cents service charge for kiosk orders [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms - None[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
Came by for boba for the first time on Saturday around 1 PM. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself was quite small (and no AC) and there were two other people in line before me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But there are several self order kiosks and the cashier was really efficient so I was quickly able to get in my order and get my drink! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a counter but no seats, so naturally, took my boba to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the #1, a brown sugar milk tea with boba, pearls, and jelly with a cream mousse with less ice. The toppings were nice and warm (I prefer this) and the drink looked great. The way the toppings were cooked were soft and quite flavorful, a texture I prefer. The numerous toppings allows for several different sizes and textures. The drink tasted great, a mild tea flavor, with brown sugar syrup adding a good amount of sweetness. I will be back!
My best friend was raving about Tiger Sugar when they first opened in Seattle five or so years ago. It is located on 2nd Ave, which is slightly out of the way unless you're going to Pikes Place Market area. Tiger Sugar is known for their black sugar milk drinks and so I ordered their number one most popular drink, BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL MILK WITH CREAM MOUSSE ($6.30 plus tax for L, $7.90 plus tax for XL). My companion ordered their BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL COFFEE LATTE WITH CREAM MOUSSE ($6.55 plus tax for L, $8.15 plus tax for XL). Their drinks are evidently pricey, but at least they include boba in the price. Note that you can't adjust the sweetness level of their black sugar drinks, but you can adjust the ice level. Their BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL MILK WITH CREAM MOUSSE was very Instaworthy, with black sugar just oozing down the inside of the cup and creating a beautiful gradient effect with the milk (I get why it's called Tiger Sugar now). They have a cute sign inside with a tiger shaking their drink; it has the caption "Shake 15 Times"- why 15 times, I'm not sure. But I paid over $8 for my drink and so I shook it 15 times as directed. I took a sip and was surprised by the creaminess of the milk and the maltiness of the black sugar. The boba was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of chew and the mousse was just a nice tough on top. Coming from someone who has probably had over 100 different bubble tea drinks in my life, this drink was unlike any other boba I've ever had. I get the hype. My only qualm, is that I wish that they had a black sugar option with black milk tea, but this drink almost made me not miss the tea. I tried a sip of my companion's BLACK SUGAR BOBA + PEARL COFFEE LATTE WITH CREAM MOUSSE and it was decent. It reminded me of a Vietnamese coffee, but maltier and more dark caramel tasting from the black sugar. Service was good. You order at the kiosk (or at the register) and they call out your name when it's ready. With a few parties ahead of us, it ook about 10 minutes to get our drink after ordering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Note that the indoor seating is quite limited and so most people take it to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking can also be difficult, but there is a garage right next door. Overall: 5/5 for boba, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere
I stopped here after a dental appointment as it makes hanging out in downtown and having to go to the dentist a little better. I'm usually hesitant to go to boba places where you can't adjust the amount of sugar (most places are too sugary for me), but Tiger Sugar is really good and so far, the best boba spot in Seattle (sadly, I think most boba options in Seattle are pretty meh). I think the ice level is also not customizable, but that's okay with me. Level of sweetness, ice, cream, milk and tea was balanced. The boba was a little soft but it was also warm and fresh. I've tried the brown sugar boba at other Tiger Sugar locations, and it's pretty good, as it is their number one flavor. Here, I had the taro flavor and I think it is even better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a small location, and there is no seating here, as this is takeout only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order from a kiosk and boba comes out within five minutes - staff is also friendly and fast.
The drinks here are really really good!!!!! We stumbled across this boba spot after visiting the Pike Place Market which was only a few blocks away and very happy we did! We ordered a #1 and a #5 and damn those drinks were delicious!!! Our drinks came out very quick within 5 mins and the worker was very helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very small shop and don't have any seating areas which is fine for the area it's in and also very clean place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious boba and make sure to try either the #1 or the #5!!
Be warned, street parking only and it was not easy. It was my first time trying Tiger Sugar in Washington (previously had it in Vancouver and California). The store is petite. I ordered on the kiosk, and got my drink in about 5 minutes. It's been a while since I had this, so I went with #1, their signature Black Sugar Boba and Pearl Milk with Cream Mousse. I gave it 4/5. I liked the idea of small and large boba in one drink (different textures), but the small boba was way to soft and didn't have much chew. The large boba was really good, the perfect texture, sweet and chewy. Next time I want to try the one with boba and pudding!

We both got Thai Tea, half sweet, and oh did it hit! Word on the street is there is a view you can't miss while you're around. Not to mention the claw machine games being a really cool addition while you're waiting for Boba. Had a great time, will be back. read more

Came to Seattle today and tried this spot -- their mango pomelo sago is seriously so good Highly recommend giving it a try! There's also a parking lot right next door, super convenient. read more
This place can be a little hard to find. It's like tucked in an alleyway entrance. I swear the only reason why I keep coming back to Tiger Sugar is like Starbucks, they utilize an app that you can order your drinks ahead and get reward points. Another reason why I like coming here is because this is the only boba spot that I know of that serves hot boba drinks in downtown Seattle. Also +1000 points for having so many milk substitution! As a lactose intolerant, I absolutely love it! I normally order my drinks with Lactaid. They have collaboration with Hello Kitty and all their drinks are served in these extremely cute Hello Kitty cups. They recently launched their newest addition and it's the jumbo sized boba. I've tried it and honestly its just mehhhh... cuz the boba balls are too big to be sucked from a regular boba straw so you'll have to remove the lid of the drink and eat the jumbo balls with a spoon. What's the point!? If you are new to Tiger Sugar, I suggest trying out what they are known for, their black sugar boba drinks (drinks 1-5). Everyone that I've introduced it to loved it! I personally love their Black Sugar Tea Latte with Cream Mousse drinks (T5 & T7) The whole place is decorated with cute tiger stuffed animals. Everyone who works there are super friendly and super fast in making the drinks! read more

Been meaning to try Tiger Sugar and finally came around to it when the Hello Kitty collab was released. My sister and I both ordered the Hello Kitty Crush (sweet strawberry flavor chip, milk cream, and boba pearls). It was good, but I have never tried Tiger Sugar beforehand. So, it is hard to say how their traditional drinks are in comparison to this special drink. There is not parking at this location given it is nearby Pike Place Market. I would not go out of my way to come here unless I plan on being around the area. The shop itself is pretty small, little to no seating inside. Definitely a place to order and take it outside or elsewhere. read more

I had a craving for boba today, so I decided to make the trip to downtown Seattle to try Tiger Sugar. I completely forgot they opened a location here! Finding parking took me a solid 30 minutes since the garage next door was closed, so I had to circle around multiple times before I found a spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once inside, I noticed the place was pretty small, and the décor was a bit underwhelming--it could've been better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Black Sugar Boba + Pudding Milk with Cream Mousse, and wow, the pudding was incredible! The best part was that the drink wasn't overly sweet like most places. That said, it was the priciest boba I've ever had--$10.18! read more

This is a small boba place you can walk to by Pike Place Market. Inside, you won't be able to sit down. The place is nicely decorated with cool designs of tigers. There is a kiosk that you can order off of or you can order from the staff. The staff was friendly. Our orders was made in a timely manner. The drinks were okay. I got the store's signature black sugar boba #1. I felt like it didn't have that much sweetness and taste to it. Unfortunately you can't adjust the sweetness level here as well. read more
The place is a bit small, there is no seating if you were looking for a place to sit and chat! I think I remember seeing that you can't customize sugar or ice levels on their menu but not entirely sure. I ordered T1, the Golden Oolong Tea with Cheese Mousse. Went back to the hotel to drink this so the drink was already mixed. I really like this drink, it was very light and refreshing, while not being too sweet. The cheese mousse also made the drink very creamy and a teeny bit salty. read more
Solid boba! They are known for their drinks with sugar + milk over milk tea so my favorite is the #4 with coffee latte because it's not as sweet. FYI the electronic systems they use have a convenience fee/local tax attached ( boba is 5/5 stars). The kioski near the door charges at 35 cent fee so order at the register to save some change :) read more

Easy self order on kiosks and drinks came out very quickly! The brown sugar boba with cream mousse and pearl milk was so sweet and the boba was soft and chewy. The taro drink was also so good! Overall prices were average (~$7) read more
So happy Tiger Sugar is in Seattle! We got #4 - Black Sugar Boba and Pearl Coffee Latte with Cream Mousse and #T5. Black Sugar Boba Black Tea Latte with Cream Mousse. We loved both! The pearls were so chewy and nicely coated w/ the syrups!!! Definitely check them out whenever you're in downtown Seattle / visiting Pike Place :) read more
Really wanted to love it but the milk tea gets weird after you drink for awhile. Looks like they drop sugar cubes and taro cubes for the drink. Instead of it melting with the tea and milk, it turned into a shredded wheats cereal texture. Just not my cup of tea. Pun intended. Place is small and quick. No inside seating or large party waiting room. Menu was decent with only two sizes: Large or XL. Half the menu does not allow adjustments to sweetness but I did not find the beverage to be that sweet compared to other places. The milk was more creamy than expected but I liked that. Boba was warm and chewy - perfection. But again, I couldn't finish it due to the shredded wheat looking stuff everywhere. read more

FYI boba here is the larger boba and pearl is mini-boba. Been waiting for Tiger Sugar in Seattle for so long. Had one poor experience outside the state but generally the drinks here are consistent and fantastic. I left Seattle right after Tiger Sugar opened so I missed out and was a bit bummed. I was not interested in waiting over an hour for their grand opening hype. This Tiger Sugar is pretty standard, akin to other Tiger Sugars from states like California or Las Vegas. Like normal Tiger Sugars, there's not a lot of customization or thinking needed. You pick one of their specialties and usually can't customize ice or sugar because it "ruins their recipe." Snagged a number 2. Black Sugar Boba + Pearl + Tiger Jelly Milk with Cream Mousse - sweet, caramelly brown sugar milk is creamy and delicious. Boba wasn't flavorful at all though. Just chewy without being marinated in brown sugar. You'll be relying on the drink itself for sweetness. Tiger jelly is like coffee jelly. Too much ice though, nearly half the cup is full of ice after drinking. read more
First time I tried the novelty that was Tiger Sugar was... (fun fact) in Bangkok, where it was $2.50 for the classic signature drink. The cup was filled with ice, so I asked my friend that went to a Tiger Sugar before in Flushing, NY (which was a bit over $6 back then) and he commented that even over there, they put a boat load of ice. I wasn't really impressed with the drink, so I did not intend to try it again, but I decided to give it a second try here in Seattle. This spot was grand opening this past Saturday, June 18, but I avoid crowds and cannot put up with hours of waiting just for boba (with the crowds, they may cut corners with quality / mess up orders) so I decided to not make the visit anytime soon. However, today I got peer pressured cause Tiger Sugar was on the way. Barely any line (5 min wait max), and I got the #1 signature drink (black sugar boba + pearl milk with cream mousse). The drink is aesthetic, and you need to shake it so that the sweetness is relatively even. The drink actually is not super sweet which was a nice surprise, and unlike my first experience, they only filled the cup with 20% ice! I think a loooot of people give them a hard time and complain (especially the first few days of opening) that they gave way too much ice. Especially given that it is almost $7 for a drink here. I only gave 4 stars because it was "better than I expected." The drink itself is more like 3 stars, and it is definitely overhyped. There is a nice black sugar taste, but it was not necessarily creamy - it tasted just like regular milk. read more
Never tried Tiger Boba tea (apparently its a huge international chain) so was excited when I read about their launch in Seattle. I avoid opening day/weekend because I am not interested to wait in line for 3hrs for boba so decided to give them a try on a weeknight. Was still surprised to see people out there on a Tuesday evening close to closing (8PM +). We ordered the below drinks: #2: Black Sugar Boba + Pearl + Tiger Jelly Milk with Cream Mousse (Tiger Jelly) #4: Best Seller: Black Sugar Boba + Pearl Coffee Latte with Cream Mousse (Tiger Meets Coffee) Both the drinks were good and coffee based so I liked it. But like several others have mentioned half or more than half the glass has ice so its really difficult to get through all your boba in the glass. Another problem for me is they do not let you customize their sugar/ice level so thats a bummer for me. Having said that I still liked the boba coffee drinks they had to offer and the bobas were flavorful. It is also pretty expensive as compared to other boba places in Seattle area which offer much more variety in terms of boba drinks and also let you customize your drinks. Considering these are coffee based boba drinks, I will need to stay away from these in the evening so that limits me from visiting them when I have boba cravings in the second half. It is a nice small tiny place in Seattle downtown with no place to sit and I am sure this place can get pretty crowded on weekends. I will stop by this place when I am in the mood for coffee flavored boba. read more
I am in love and need to stay away from this place. It's too good. I might over-indulge. These are the kinds of things I've been telling myself. Yet also, "I'm going there later tonight" is something I've been saying to myself as well. Okay with that said and out there, I appreciate they use organic milk for their teas. And their teas are super creamy-yum....the burnt sugar syrup is sublime and transports me to a Maxfield Parish painting, in my mind. It's very close to tasting like Molasses, but not in a bitter way. It's all delicious and super full of tapioca pearls which send me to heaven. I'm going there later tonight. Oh, see, I said it again. Maybe this time my will power won't be strong enough. read more
My favorite boba place in seattle! I've had tiger sugar in vegas, and i am so glad we have it here too in seattle! Their tea was so creamy and tasty. (Got #1) I like the fact that their cup size isn't huge, because i have no self control when it comes to food I am not sure when they will switch to a full menu, but because they just opened, they only have like 7 menu items you can pick from. (Website menu isn't available just yet!) Definitely give it a try though :) read more
Best boba I have ever had. Do try their traditional brown sugar boba. I am huge fan of boba and I am always on look out for new boba spots in town or wherever I go. When Tiger Sugar announced that they are opening one in seattle, my friend recommended me to try this out. I am definitely not disappointed, the boba itself is very well made, never came across hard boba at this place. My only minor complaint is that their brown sugar series cannot be customizable in terms of ice or sugar. Highly recommend this place read more

Fantastic bubble tea shop downtown Seattle! The shop is clean and the staff are friendly. I opted in for both of the best sellers this time. The boba was fresh and the drinks were fantastic! Some of the best bubble tea I've had and can't wait to pop back in and try more drinks. read more
Tiger Sugar finally opened in Seattle! Went to try it out and waited in a small line outside the small storefront to place my order. For many drinks, the signature black sugar syrup is artfully dripped inside the cup and milk tea is added to create a swirled effect. Ordered Black Sugar Boba Green Tea Latte with Cream Mousse - which apparently is one of the drinks that does not have the swirled syrup effect. Remember to mix your drink before you drink, to make sure the sugar is evenly distributed. Enjoyed the tea, but it was a bit too sweet because of the amount of sugary syrup that was added. read more
