Bobae Coffee & Tea

I love Bobae! I have been to the Kirkland location in the past and was super impressed. I was happy to make a stop here as they have a comfy and super cute interior with table and couch seating. Plenty of free parking in the lot. Friendly and kind staff but only con was the drink was made in a rush so it wasn't whisked with love and time like the Kirkland location does. I'm willing to wait knowing a good drink takes time. Matcha lovers understand powder clumps aren't favorable..My drink (Ube iced Matcha made with oat milk and boba) was still soooo super amazing...the best Ube drink I've had!!! I loveee the ceremonial matcha at bobae and now also love the tastyyyyy ube jam as well. Can't wait to try something new next time :)

I saw this when I passed by during their grand opening. The line was long, so I decided to wait till today. No line, few customers in and out. Very quiet. Clean and chic place. Not the typical boba place like happy lemon, coco or sharetea. Btw the place used to share tea boba.Plenty of private shared parking area with other retailers. I ordered Bobaejicha hojicha, Goma Goma black sesame and Bae Kok Thai. The taste was pretty good. Not creamy enough for me. They still use manual stickers for your orders. The cups are regular ice drink kinda cups with cap, not the usual sealed boba cups. And they are a bit more expensive than other my usual boba place. But they have my fav flavors: black sesame and hojicha.

So happy Bobae is in Issaquah!! Tried the original milk tea with boba. The tea and boba are really fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to come back for donuts (only once a month with pre-orders one week in advance). The seating is cute in here. Lots of pink! Free parking.Right next to the East Lake Sammamish Trail so we went for a nice walk after.I'll be back!

Cute little spot with super friendly staff! I'm staying nearby and my friend brought me here since they just opened recently. Lots of potential :) I tried their limited edition passion fruit matcha drink. I have never seen this combo ever. I love both separately so I knew I had to try it. They did let me know that the passion fruit would be a jam. Usually fruit drinks are syrups so I thought it was very interesting. It was hard to mix the jam in with the rest of the drink, so it was pretty thick. I wish it was a little more liquidy, but otherwise the taste was great!

I have always love going to Bobae and am glad they opened one up in Issaquah where parking isn't an issue anymore. I came here during the weekend and noticed there's already a line. The lines moved very quick though. One of the friendly owners were there, greeted us and took our orders. The boba shop was cute, decorated in their signature pink color. There's tables and seatings available to enjoy your beverage. I ordered the red, white and matcha while my partner got the bobaejicha. While we both had these drinks before, everything tasted very consistent compare to their other stores. I also tried their ube Oreo mochi cookie. OMG it was so delicious! The cookie was soft and mochi was nice and chewy inside. I will have to get this again next time! Very stoked to see this brand branching out locations. I hope they will open another location down south in the future.

Been wanting to try this place, so I was excited when they opened a location closer to me. I went the first time on a weekday, and tried the Tapei Memory and the Yuzu Matcha. I asked if they adjust sugar level on those, and she said no, because the sweetness comes from the fruit jam, and the drinks aren't too sweet. And she was right. The drinks weren't too sweet for me, and tasty and refreshing. The tapioca was good and chewy, but they don't add enough toppings in the drinks, and least not for me. They didn't have any pastries when I went that weekday. She said that they usually have more on weekends. I went back on a weekend, and they had the flat croissants and the ube mochi cookies. I tried the strawberry matcha flat croissant, even though it's not my kind of pastry, but it was still good. I'm hoping to be able to try their regular croissants. The shop is cute, and the staff are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Bobae is such a gem of a boba shop and I'm overjoyed that they opened a new location in Issaquah! For their grand opening they had a special promotion where the first 100 customers in line got one of their highly coveted boba donuts. My party was second in line and good thing we got there bright and early and lined up because boy did people show up! The line was wrapping around the entire plaza before the shop even opened! Upon entering the shop I was greeted by the sweet owners Karma and Joey who thanked me for supporting their grand opening. Then Kennedy took my order and she was super friendly and actually remembered me from my visits to the Kirkland location which goes to show how much they care about their customers! I got to play a fun little game while waiting for my order and I believe Joshua was the staff member who helped me with that. He was super kind and celebrated with me when I won a free boba ice cream, haha. I didn't catch the name of the sweet girl with the cute pink makeup who handed me my order, but like everyone else she had such a cheery and happy attitude. I ordered the matcha ube milk with boba, strawberry Sakura milk crochi, ube crochi, and a strawberry matcha flat croissant. My party also ordered a couple black sesame lattes. Everything was so delicious and unique. There's a reason why Bobae is so popular. Their drinks are top notch since they use high quality teas brewed fresh daily, home-made jams and syrups, and real local ingredients. You won't find any of those artificial flavor powders, fructose syrups, or non-dairy creamer powders here that most of the popular chain places use. They truly prioritize their ingredients and offer "farm to straw" creative drinks and you can taste the quality in each one. They did a great job creating a warm and inviting aesthetic in the shop, it's beautifully decorated and will definitely be my new study spot! Welcome to the neighborhood, Bobae! The community is glad to have you :)

I always get the 800 fold brown sugar, and it's perfectly made every time. I also love the right amount of boba they add--some places put in too much! We've been greeted by the owner a couple of times, and he's always smiling and enthusiastic. We've never sat to eat there, but there are some seating options available.The only con is the price. It is tad higher than other boba places. We paid almost $10 after tip and tax.

FYI- there's not a "no ice" button, so they can't not put ice in your beverage at Issaquah. I've been going to Bobae since the Woodinville only days, then glad when they opened Kirkland location. Bobae used to put 4-5 ice cubes on iced baes, which is reasonable for a draft beverage (who puts ice cubes in their beer?). When they started putting my cups half full of ice, I started getting no ice by ordering in person (mobile doesn't have that option). Today I tried to get just Tea and boba at a tea shop, and was unable to do so because they couldn't physically not put ice in my "custom" beverage. Who knew the closest location would be the end of my fandom?

This place replaced ShareTea. ShareTea was your classic go-to chain boba shop and was great for Issaquah, but BoBae is a good replacement for that boba fix.I always get the classic black milk tea for every new place I try, their Nitro Brew OG black milk tea was delicious! I like that they use some condensed milk as sweetener. I got half sweet and it was perfect. They also have lactose free milk as an option for you lactose intolerants!Boba: soft and not too chewy! Loved the texture and great flavor/sweetness (this totally preference, those who like chewier boba may not like as much)Cheese cap: a tinge of saltiness which really elevates the flavor. Not too cheesy.Also love that they have pastries. We got the twice baked black sesame croissant 10/10. Happy to have this in Issaquah. Go early before it's sold out
