    16. Strawberry Lemon Green Tea
    Diane T.

    Fresh off a trip to Taipei, we were craving the fresh boba XFT is known for. After drinking XingFuTang boba in Taipei for $3 for two drinks, we made the rookie error of walking into this location with the same expectations. We watched staff carry the boba from the back and drop it into the aesthetic bowl up front. Spoiler: aesthetic does not equal fresh. It tasted like instant boba -- the kind you make at home from a kit. For $18, that's not a vibe. The tea was decent, but we came for those chewy, fresh-made pearls, and this location simply did not deliver. If you've never had the real thing in Taipei, you might not notice. But if you have? Save your $18.

    I've been here 10-15 times and I like them for the most part, but the thing that stops me from loving them is inconsistency. The is definitely inconsistency with service. Some people are super kind while some barely utter 5 words to you. Sometimes the floor is really sticky. The one that really breaks it for me though is inconsistency with how the same exact order will taste depending on who is working. The drinks start at around $8, then it's almost a dollar for no ice (worth it bc they put a lot otherwise), and then about another dollar for alternate milks, which my partner and both get. So on the times when the drink doesn't taste as good as it usually does, it feels like money going down the drain. The most recent time I went, my partner and I's drinks tasted like the milk had soured. I just took the $20 loss, but I'm not sure I'll be back.

    Strawberry Boba Milk and Brown Sugar Crème Brulee Boba Milk

    My friends and I were walking to the Westlake link station and decided to stop by here for little sweet treat. I'm actually not really a boba person in general, and I tend to prefer fruity drink over milk teas so this review is going to reflect that! Drinks: (3/5) I had no idea this place specialized in brown sugar boba, so I got the strawberry boba milk since brown sugar drinks usually make me feel too heavy (my mistake). I'm not sure how they make the strawberry add-in but it was very candy-like compared to most other places. It was very similar to adding Hershey's strawberry syrup to a cup of milk, which unfortunately wasn't really my vibe. My partner and friends got the taro milk and brown sugar creme brulee milk that I thought were both significantly better than my strawberry boba milk. I also didn't realize that my tapioca would also be fruity. Because it wasn't the traditional tapioca, it had a really gritty texture. Service: (5/5) Very nice people here! I think they had family in the store because there were several adults with kids that were playing around (very sweet). The store and bathroom were also extremely clean so I really appreciated that!

    Extra mango smoothie in small cup for my toddler

    I came around 9:30pm on a Saturday. The staff was very kind and patient. I was doing a group order, and had to cancel mid order while waiting for a response from one of my party. They were very understanding and made sure I got my order right. After receiving the drinks, they were kind enough to give a little extra smoothie in a separate cup for my toddler since it wasn't possible to open the top and pour a little out for him. You can tell the boba is made in house - it was nice and chewy.

    Boba!

    Great tea! Friendly service, non dairy creamer (yay for me!). We got some hot teas on a cold day and they were so tasty and fast! Also the boba texture and flavor were superb! It's...probably a good thing this spot isn't more easily accessible for me xD

    Homemade boba! Pretty awesome!

    What's amazing about Xing Fu Tang is they make their own boba from scratch! Think it doesn't make a difference? It does. Their handmade boba is just the right amount of chewy, bouncy, and soft. My hubs and I enjoyed our drinks: the Thai Tea with boba and Dalgona Coffee Latte with boba. Service is nice and friendly. There's a cute wall with stuffies to take pics with. There are a good number of tables too. The only thing is I'm hardly ever in downtown Seattle these days. If only XFT was in Ballard!! Wow, I'd be there every week.

    A little off the beaten path, but amazing boba from a famous Taiwan chain. Boba balls have this extra chew in them that kinda reminds me of mochi, super yummy treat. I visited them twice during my Seattle stay and they were pretty empty, hope they can make it with their yummy drinks!

    Stir only 18 times!

    True Taiwanese boba experience! Great menu, delicious boba. I love their fresh fruit tea options. So many delicious choices. We ordered the Lychee rose tea 50% sweetness. And the Dalgona brown sugar coffee. If you've seen videos or been to the Taiwan locations you know that they have the boba in the brick thing, they don't do that here. I'm sure they don't get as many orders as Taiwan, but such a shame! There's plenty of fun photo spots and also their fortune teller thing is fun. Definitely a great spot if you're in downtown! I think a block of 2 from old Macy's.

    Fortunes! You get to pull one for fun in the store

    Amazing tea! I wasn't sure where to grab tea around the Westlake Station area in the evening, but a friend recommended Xing Fu Tang. Semi-small interior, with less than half a dozen tables and designed for grab and go. Walking in, you're immediately hit with caramel/sugary smells of the boba being made. Staff were friendly quick on dishing out the orders. I ordered a World Peace, large size. Delicious pea tea flavor and the boba is incredible. I didn't expect it to actually be strawberry flavored boba, but to instead be the popping boba (you find everywhere else). The boba is actually strawberry flavored, which makes sense since I got to watch the staff making the boba fresh behind the counter. If there's only one downside, it's that the boba is maybe 0.1mm too large for the straws sometimes. So take two straws if you get a boba drink here (for when the first one clogs).

    This bubble tea place is very famous for its brown sugar and fresh boba. Their brown sugar milk tea with boba was delicious. It surprisingly wasn't as sweet as I expected. The pearls were chewy and flavorful, and the milk tea didn't just taste like sweet milk, I could actually taste the tea. We also got the limited edition lychee slush, which was pretty good, but if you go to Xing Fu Tang, I'd recommend getting what they're famous for, their brown sugar boba!

    Came here after dinner for some boba. The tapioca pearls are fresh made and you can definitely tell, that's what was better than most other places I've been. Otherwise the milk tea is pretty standard which I think you'd expect. The pricing is in line with other places and they have similar mix in flavors/types. We didn't really get any food since we already had dinner but their only food option was a bubble waffle thing, which smelled and looked really good. I had the crème brûlée milk team and it was great! The service is really fast for it being hand made and the ambiance is good. It's easy to find seating and just hang out for a couple minutes.

    I was really excited to try this place since I saw they were from Taiwan. I got the matcha drink with strawberry boba. I like the concept, but the boba was hard and the matcha was disappointing. It also looked nothing like the photo. Usually matcha drinks I get have a matcha layer on top with the milk on the bottom. They already mixed the layers, but when I drank it, it was very milky and I would not consider it to be matcha. Just green colored milk. They also charge you an additional .80 for no ice. That's just topping up my drink with milk/water. I don't like ice cold drinks, so I don't think I should be charged an additional amount for a preference since sugar level was not an additional charge. Other stores I've been to don't do this additional hidden cost. They could either fill it with less liquid then or at least tell me about it. They had a cute little fortune reading station. It said not to take the fortune with you since they were trying to be more eco-friendly, which I found a little ironic since they had plastic cups, plastic straws, plastic seal for the cup, and to top it off... an unnecessary plastic cap for the cup. I don't understand. Will I be back, no. $10 for this quality is just a scam in my honest opinion. Service was alright. A kiosk would have probably been better.

    Came across this bubble tea shop entirely by accident. Ordered a basic bubble tea drink just to test if they have their basics down and immediately could tell that these are fresh boba pearls. The drink was warmer on the bottom because the pearls are still warm and they were very chewy and not hard at all. I ordered the drink with 50% sugar and that was plenty-- I do not advise you order with 100% sugar. The combination of the brown sugar boba is already going to be plenty sweet. Adorable tea cafe but definitely on the pricier end.

    Hong Kong style milk tea and brown sugar boba milk.

We got a matcha float with mochi and a hojicha float with mochi. We love the hojicha better. The matcha is prob one of the better I've tasted, but not often you can find hojicha ice cream and milk tea. It was creamy and mildly sweet. So good, refreshing and satisfying! The mochi were ok. It was very bland and not sweet at all. I do prefer my mochi to have a little sweetness to them, like a sweet bite. This was like chewing a bigger non sweet boba ball. So I'd pass on the mochi here and maybe do all ice cream. If ever we're in Seattle would visit again. Update: we came here a few yrs later. The drinks were still good as ever. My husband got a frappe and loved it. We had a salmon bowl which was decent. Not something I would order again here but we were so hungry from traveling and meeting friends, we needed some food. This time no line out the door. We got a seat inside. We came in June this yr, nice weather outside but inside was super hot as they did not run the AC. They had the windows/doors open but no breeze and mosquitos were inside attacking. I can't imagine a good breeze when the cafe is wedged btw two huge buildings.

There was a line out the door when we went on a weeknight, so I imagine a line is to be expected when you come by, but it moves very quickly as you order at the counter.

I'm usually a little…read moreskeptical of soft serve places since they often use nasty-looking mix, but I'd heard they use milk from Hokkaido, Japan, which is known for its dairy, so I came in expecting something rich -- and it absolutely delivered. They offer two flavors, Hokkaido Milk and Matcha, and I went with the swirl because I wanted the best of both worlds. I usually prefer my ice cream plain so I can focus on the flavor itself, but they do offer mochi and syrup toppings if you want to dress it up. I was actually a little surprised to see the strawberry syrup was sold out, which weirdly made me even more intrigued -- but in the end, I still stuck with the ice cream as is. The shop itself is a small pickup window attached to a larger Japanese restaurant, and it seems like a very cost-effective way to run the business. It also appeared to be operated by just two people, which made the whole operation even more impressive. When I went, there was a long line that stretched a good way down the street, but the wait moved quickly -- I spent about 15 minutes waiting to order and had my ice cream within minutes. The Hokkaido Milk was the standout for me: incredibly rich, creamy, and smooth. As someone who loves a good vanilla profile, I was very into it. The Matcha was also done really well, with just the right bitterness to balance the sweetness and complement the milk. I tried to isolate each flavor in every bite so I could appreciate them on their own, and I'm glad I did. By the time I finished, I was completely satisfied, but low-key wanted another round. I exercised great self-control though :D

I wasn't impressed by the portion size or how diluted the matcha tasted, but I still remembered enjoying the Hokkaido milk soft serve. REGULAR - 6.50 + Hokkaido Milk +2 for M.B.R (Mochi + Brown sugar syrup + Roasted soybean powder) The Hokkaido milk soft serve was smooth, creamy, and subtly milky without being overly sweet. The flavor itself is pretty mild, so I'd definitely recommend adding the M.B.R. The mochi was a bit stale, but the brown sugar syrup added a nice depth of sweetness, and the roasted soybean powder gave the soft serve a nutty, toasty flavor. These two toppings definitely elevated the soft serve for me. Overall, a quick and casual dessert spot in the area. We sat at one of the tables outside and enjoyed our soft serve.
