BobaLust

A very solid boba spot tucked across from alderwood mall and target. We love the interior with all the beautiful plants. Service is very good and they even bring your drink to your table. Happy to support this lovely business.

Cute hangout spot! Service was quick and friendly. I got the Wintermelon Milk Tea with Sea Salt Cream and Boba and it was good! I'm excited to try their other drinks.

I love boba so I am more than open to trying new boba places. Unfortunately my experience was not the best. Upon almost finishing my drink there was a hair in it. I post this so that the staff making the drink maybe can put their hair back so that this does not happen again.

I had lunch nearby and decided to stop by to try the drinks at BobaLust. As always, I start off my first visit to any new-to-me boba shop with either the signature/house milk tea, or the black milk tea if the former isn't available. BobaLust does have an "OG Milk Tea" so I went with that.OG Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Honey Boba ($6.36) - This drink is extremely sweet even at 50% sweetness - it's probably around full sweetness or possibly 150% when compared to average boba shop. There's an almost fruity taste to the drink, not sure if it's from the tea or sweetener. The drink itself is thicker, so quite a bit of creamer is used to build bulk. The honey boba definitely has that classic honey boba texture - an exterior that has a certain stickiness that keeps keeps the skin of the boba together well. Unfortunately, the boba is quite a bit harder than I normally like. I'm a big fan of what a honey soak does to boba texture - this place just needs a longer cook time and the boba would be fantastic.I think if I had gotten the drink at 10% sweetness, the drink might have been better. But as it stands, it's just way too sweet with hard boba and I can't give the drink higher than a 3. To be honest, I was debating giving it a 2, but with how rare it is to find honey boba outside of California, I bumped it up. On another note, BobaLust claims they use a special tea extractor to maximize the tea flavor. Other boba shops that use espresso machines or similar to brew tea usually have many varieties of high quality teas. The fact that BobaLust has such a small tea menu and generically labels things as black and green tea makes me very suspicious about the brand identity of this chain. Why spend money on a more sophisticated brewing method when BobaLust is more like a generic pre-brew-in-large-batches type of shop?

Went during the grand opening weekend so inevitably the place is clean. Friendly staff as well. They should consider some music and board games to keep customers preoccupied if they want to stay. No complaints about the boba either! They can substitute slushie/milk tea with non-dairy (like oat milk). My favorite is the Purple Galaxy! You can never go wrong with it!

Happy to see a bobalust in my area finally. Been coming to this location since they opened up in Lynnwood. The Legend of Momo always hits. Today, I decided to get the Thai Green Tea and then came back again to get the Thai Tea. Solid drinks with the option to adjust sweetness and ice. Great options of toppings to go in your drinks as well.Service is fantastic and friendly. They're very helpful and bring out the order super fast.The decor is very clean, vibrant, and I appreciate the green plants that accents the room.Definitely will be returning here with friends to hang and chill again. Solid!

This place is fun! It's a really good spot for a catch-up time with your friends, or if you're like my roommate and I, just a place to go to "get out of the house." The last time we were there, we noticed that there were board games in the front and got really excited. So we pulled one out and started playing. It created such a good vibe all around. The drinks are really good, and the service was extremely friendly. Because of the board games, my roommate and I will probably be back to hang out there since we live so close.

Friendly service, decent and clean space. Ordered three different types of drinks (slush, milk tea, fruit tea) and they were a mix of watered down, and generic in taste. Bland. FYI, prompted tipping at the end is calculated and added to your post-tax total, not pre-tax total.

fav drink is summer sass or sunburst-- tastes just like POG! also big fan of blushing dragon, crimson cutie, and legend of momo

I ordered Mango Milk Tea with less sugar and ice (extra $0.75). It was so sweet boba was hard and had no chewy texture. This is the only boba place I haven't been to in the area and I decided to try because I was like what if it is better than Happy Lemon and Braganza? I don't know how this business got a few good reviews for chewy, textured old hard boba.
