Yin's Tea is such a cute spot--bright, modern, and very inviting. They have a great selection of drinks, from milk tea and fruit tea to coffee, so there's something for everyone. I ordered the High Mountain Oolong Milk Tea with whole milk, and if you're a true tea person, this one's for you. The tea is freshly brewed, strong, and fragrant, and the sweetness level was perfectly balanced--not overpowering at all. The boba was really nice too--soft, chewy, and the perfect texture. I also tried their new item, Mango Boom, which was yummy. It has a good amount of real mango flavor and pairs really well with the coconut cream. Refreshing and not too sweet. Overall, a great place and definitely worth coming back to try more drinks. Highly recommend giving it a visit! read more

Yin's Tea is one of the few boba/milk tea shops in the area and I was surprised and happy they have these awesome cups for $5 extra where you get a surprise plush keychain (fake crybaby or Sanrio) or a Genshin Impact bookmark. They are so ON TREND. Definitely a lot of fun. Store is really clean and modern. There is a little seating and they have a stamp card. Not really sure of their rewards program but you get a free drink on your bday. Drinks are also good quality with real teas! read more

Not sure how I feel. Ordering is primarily done on a tablet, ie perfect for introverts like me. Though if you have questions, it does mean trying to flag someone down. I got the Sugar Babie 50% sweetness with cheese foam. The foam alone was perfect, not too sweet or salty. The tea felt like there was no sweetener at all. When mixed with the foam it helped but made the salt so prominent. It was hard to finish. I did get the surprise with the tea and it is super cute. I do feel only get it if you're okay with ALL the options. The shop is very small and hot. As the summer has hit, that was not the greatest. I totally don't fault the shop for this, more a note if you plan to stay for longer than the wait to get your drink. When I'm in the area, I may give it another go. read more

Refreshing drinks at Yin's Tea located off 79th and Powell in the shopping center by WinCo and the poker club. Pretty clean and nice inside- super cute decor!. No tables to sit, waiting area though; service was great and the gal was friendly. I got the 'bitch green' (matcha tea) with the surprise plush toy and it was cute! I ordered extra sweet and always forget that it means the amount of boba or not. . A little much. Checking out their Facebook, Looks like they have a 'SpongeBob' smoothie of pineapple and coconut and may have to get one to end the summer. .they also have stamp cards too. read more

At this point, I've been to Yins countless times and each time is consistently great. I usually get the Thai ice tea (with their homemade milk!) because it's seriously one of the best in the city, or I get the coconut pineapple smoothie, which is also very good. I always get a plushie cup, which is $5 more because you get a plushie keychain at the bottom of the cup. Super yummy and cute! read more

I was craving boba and this boba shop pop up. Cute little boba shop. They have surprise plushy cup you can order that is additional $5. It was Sanrio characters and cry baby plushies. They had two people working, a few customers in front of me. It didn't take long the drinks to come out. I had ordered a roasted oolong milk tea but got the dong ding milk tea instead. I didn't realize it until I left. I was disappointed that I got the wrong milk tea. The boba was soft and chewy which I like. The tea itself tasted powdery. Hmmm. I would come back again and try the fruit teas. read more

I tried the Spongebob smoothie (pineapple and coconut) and the Assam milk tea with crystal boba, and both were delicious! The mystery toy concept was something new to me, and I thought it was really cute and unique. The interior decor was clean, modern, and minimalistic. The staff was very helpful and patient. Unfortunately, they were out of mango sago, so I'll have to come back for that another time. If you enjoy bubble tea with a strong tea flavor like I do, Yin's Tea is the place to go. read more

Yin's tea is a tea lover's paradise. We tried the peach tea with mystery cup, the flavor of tea was very rich and smooth with peach pearls and we added boba too to the tea. I really love the idea of mystery cup because it makes you happy instantly. Who doesn't like a surprise which is cute The ambience of the place is very serene and minimalistic. The best thing I loved about the place was its very clean and they maintained it really well. The tea selection is impressive with unique flavors. Star detail: There was an actual peach inside the tea making it more flavorful. I tried boba tea at many places, never seen this uniqueness. I really appreciate places which are unique in their approach I'm hoping that they expand their business and open at other places too!! The service is amazing with friendly staff. Overall, a must try!! read more

I've been here a couple times and it's overall been a decently good boba shop. The inside is clean, there's very limited seating (only a bench), and it is very bright and clean. Service here can be a bit slow but they're nice. The menu is pretty limited, and I've been able to try a good variety of them. Overall, I love how fun their drink names are and they have some special fruit and milk tea offerings. I recommend their fruit tea as they have real fruit in them and they're pretty good (it's just a shame you can't adjust the sweetness on a lot of them). The first time I went here, I had their green tea crema and the cream was amazing--the best in Portland. So, I was very excited to come back. Since then, I've ordered it a couple times but they've never made it the same as then--whether it's too flavorless, not cheesy/creamy enough, etc. Which is a shame. And so, I've noticed the quality can be inconsistent. Nonetheless, I do like the drinks they offer and do come back. read more

Okay wow!!! I've been to many boba places and have only been amazed by the experience a few times... and this is one of them. The ambiance has a very clean, aesthetic look and there is a screen where you can order from. There is minimal seating inside. There is a free parking lot by the store. The staff were all very nice and professional. I got the As-sam milk tea with less ice and 25% sugar. I LOVE strong tea flavors in boba and this place absolutely delivered that (a lot of places don't). It does not just taste like sugary milk with some tea flavor in the background.... the tea is truly the center of the drink. Also 25% sugar... is 25% sugar. I think this is a hard bar to meet for me as I don't very sweet drinks and 25% sugar was perfect (probably enhances the tea flavor too). I'm not sure this is unique to the As-sam or all of the drinks. Boba was cooked well, not hard or soggyr or overly sweet! Price are also pretty standard (about $6 for milk teas, $7 for special drinks). I also asked about the lavender milk tea and it is a syrup based drink. They also have a mystery cup in which a random plush or sticker can be found in the compartment under the drink, which is an idea I've only one other time. It an additional $5.50 or you can get a free one after receiving 10 stamps on their card. Definitely can see this being a way to garner regular customers who want to collect all of the plush/stickers. I would love to return!! Would very impressed to see this quality be consistent. read more

Delicious boba tea! I got the Sugar Babie. It's a smooth, non-bitter "King" milky black tea. You can choose the level of sweetness. I got 100%, which is regular sweet, but you can have no sweetness, 25%, etc. I got a cute "plushie" on a key chain as my "mystery cup" surprise. The staff was friendly and answered questions knowledgeably. It was sparkling clean as well! Thanks, Yin's and I hope you are a huge success! We'll be back when we are in the neighborhood. read more

I ordered the troublesome, which is an oolong milk tea and added boba to it. The milk tea was mediocre and nothing special. I didn't taste the oolong flavor in the drink as oolong usually has a strong roasted flavor. The boba was fine, nothing special. The service was quick and staff were nice on providing recommendations. There is parking on site but the parking area can get busy, so I parked a little further away. Overall, the shop is pretty aesthetic and clean. Oh they also have a cute mystery cup that comes with a mystery plush. Might be a fun thing to try out sometime. read more

The decor in this tea house is adorable! You order on the kiosk at the counter. The staff were very friendly. I got the Jasmine milk tea with sago and it is very floral forward. Just because I do not like the floral flavor very much I give this a 2 out of 10. The taro sparkle made up for it with a delicious creamy taro flavor 9 out of 10. I tried a drink of another drink that tasted like colada and it was so good! Overall this is a great tea house that I definitely recommend you try! Happy Eats! read more

This was our first trip to Yin's Tea. I loved it! Ordered the Dirty Peach with more tea, and daughter chose the Pinkie Pink with more tea. She didn't prefer the heavyvtwa taste, so I drank hers along with my Dirty Peach. I would highly recommend if you don't like the slightly more bitter more tea taste, stick with the basic. Otherwise, I really think this is one of the great tea shops in town. Plus, the decor is beautifully minimalistic and the service was very good. I'm ready to try the other tea flavors! Cheers! read more

While I am not one to typically write a review for a business that recently had its grand opening four days ago, I was thoroughly pleased with my experience at Yin's Tea. I arrived on a Wednesday evening and noticed four other groups inside waiting for their orders to be prepared. Parking can be limited because of the shared parking spaces in the plaza. The interior design was a mix of contemporary/minimalistic with influences of Asian decor, paying homage to the business owner's roots and very suitable for a boba tea store. There is a handful of chairs and a bench to wait for your drink order; however, I did not see any tables inside. Ordering was made easy through their kiosk and their menu items are displayed on the screens at the front of the establishment. Next to the kiosk, there were mini sample cups of their tea to try as well. I was elated to find out there were many options to customize my drink order: drink size, mystery prize cups, sweetness levels, ice adjustments, milk type, and toppings. Based on my previous experience in the food industry and as a bobarista, the options for so many different adjustments and a variety of different types of drinks for a new business can be very challenging. The team at Yin's Tea seemed to work harmoniously together, ensuring drinks were made properly and timely. Being a huge fan of gacha, I was not able to resist paying for the mystery cups. The Genshin Impact bookmarks were surprisingly higher quality than I expected and the mystery plushies were too adorable! I ordered the Keep it Pink (Rose Milk Tea), CeleberTea (Earl Gray Milk Tea), and Da Queen (Mango Sago). I typically order normal sweetness when trying a new boba place and will adjust my next order after tasting. I found that their normal 100% sweetness was a bit too sweet for my palate and I would most likely order less/half sweetness next time. The flavor of the tea was quite prominent and rich so I could tell the tea leaves were high quality and brewed properly. The boba was fresh and cooked well, soft with a nice chewy texture. Cecilia was very kind and attentive when handing off my drinks at the counter, placing my order in a drink carrier, and placing a cap to prevent my drinks from spilling. I can't wait to come back to support this new business and try their other drinks! read more

Ambiance: 4/5 This is a cute, aesthetic, and clean boba shop with charming decor. I love their menu TVs and the self-ordering tablet--very modern and fun to use! The downside is that they only have two small tables, so it's not really a place to hang out. It's more of a grab-and-go spot. They also offer blind box drinks, which are a fun and unique experience, though a bit on the pricey side. Service: 5/5 The bobarista was fast at making our drinks and super friendly. They were also patient with us since it took us a while to decide what to order. My sister even got a FREE birthday drink, which was a sweet bonus! I also like their cups which are reusable but the large one was out of stock which was totally fine. Drinks: Cloudy Friday Creama: 5/5 This is a green tea drink with salty, cheesy foam on top. They were out of the jasmine crema, so I tried this one instead, and I loved it! The creamas are my favorite--they're so creamy and delicious. Definitely a must-try! Dirty Peach: 3/5 My sister and I weren't huge fans of this one. I think it's a newer item, and I personally don't love peach drinks. It also comes with crystal boba, which was an interesting texture. The boba used to be a bit hard in the past, but it seems like they've perfected it now! It's super chewy and great to taste. I've been here a couple of times, and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area, especially after some Korean food nearby. It's a convenient and tasty stop! read more

I'm overall impressed with Yin's Tea! I stopped in because I was in the neighborhood, and hadn't had boba tea in a LONG time. As soon as I opened the door, I was assaulted by the heavy stench of chlorine bleach. There are certainly worse things to smell in a tea shop, and I appreciate their sanitation, but I wish they'd at least opened a door to air the place out a bit. Orders are placed at a touch pad at the counter. Variety is wide, and options are many. I opted for a mango Sago, and my companion ordered her typical duo of beverages. The Mango Sago was honestly one of the most stupidly delicious things I've ever had, EVER! I'll make a special trip back here just for this. The store is tiny, but is immaculately clean. Staff is very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. While the prices are on the higher side, it seems like it's being used for great-quality ingredients, and super sturdy cups. The parking lot is TINY and very tight, so parking can be a challenge. read more

Aesthetic! Very modern and airy. Parking is easy as there's a large shared parking lot. The drink names are very cute and quirky which make ordering fun. There is limited seating in the shop (only a few waiting benches) so expect to take your drink to go. The cashiers seemed disinterested and bored of being there but, hey, we all have our off days. I got the Sweater Weather (lychee iced tea with lychee bits and lychee jelly). The fruit tea was so light and refreshing. Although a bit sweet for me so I'll get sweetness adjustments next time. Still, the drink was a perfect pick-me-up for a warm and sunny day! read more

Came here for a yelp event, but had to come back with friends this time because my bf & were craving it! The dirty peach was the drink we couldn't get out of our minds. So unique. We got it with more tea the first time as a recommendation from the person working, but I wanted to try more yogurt this time. The refreshing flavor with real peaches, so yummy. More yogurt was good, but I think i will stick to more tea. We also got the pinky pinkie that first time, not as good as the peach as I think maybe it would be better if there a different type of tea in it. The jasmine tea is really strong in this one, maybe it'd be better if we try that one with more yogurt next time. This time my bf went with Spongebob, very refreshing pina colada type flavor, blended which I love blended drinks because it's like you get your money worth since you don't have ice chunks in it. Worth the trip over the bridge. This place has become a must stop everytime we are in Portland. Go try it out. read more

Drinks: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 I really enjoyed my experience at Yin's Tea. I like the creativity in the Mystery Cup to add a plushie charm. It adds differentiation from standard Boba shops. I got the taro smoothie which I thought was top notch. When it comes to taro drinks, I like "fake taro" and am particular. Yin's taro is rich in flavor and just the way I like it. Based on my ratings, you'd think it's a 5*, but to earn a 5* from me, it truly has to have that wow factor. Even though Yin's will be a new go to for me, it lacks that exceptional factor to give it a 5*. Ambiance was great. They've added a good touch with the decor and the shop is very clean. Like I said, I will be a regular! read more

So glad I finally got to try this place out! Got the dirty peach and it was so delicious. I opted to do more yogurt for a sweeter flavor because I adjusted the sweetness to be less sweet. I swapped the crystal boba for lychee jelly. I love that you can still taste the tea flavor and it wasn't masked by the other components of the drink. It was really hard to decide what drink to get because there were so many delicious options on the menu. this just means I'll have to come back soon to try the other items! read more

The Ceylon Milk tea with coffee was delicious. Cold drink for the summer. Delicious and smooth drink along with added boba that was easily to eat. A small cafe shop. You can add any toppings you want. Boba, crystal boba, sago, lychee jelly, glass jelly or cheese foam. This is a very clean establishment. You need to mention that you want a mystery cup. The mystery cup is either a plushie or a bookmark. A very quick stop to grab something to go. Definitely fun. read more

Must get: sweater weather. I love how the teas here are really strong. The sweater weather with jasmine green tea and real lychee is super addicting. It could be a little sweet so I like getting no ice and adding ice when I get home. I've tried their jasmine with house made milk and it's good too but doesn't compare to sweater weather. I recommend getting less sweet on all their drinks if possible. They also have free birthday drinks with the plushie! read more

New boba spot not far from my house and I was hoping it'd be good but it was disappointing. I ordered the jasmine milk tea 30% sweet and it tasted like 100%. The boba was a lot harder than to my liking. The tea it self was just okay as well, I didn't like the brand of jasmine tea they used. Had a sip of the Ceylon milk tea and it was decent, but still way too sweet. Also paid an extra $5 for the mystery toy for my daughter but I wouldn't do it again. read more

Well decorated, clean environment, and attentive staff.

The taro was good, had authentic flavor and was well blended. The drinks range from $6-7 which is pretty good value nowadays. You can tell they put a lot of thought into their menu as there's unique names for each drink.
