BobaLust

such a cute vibe in this shop. the star shaped boba is a cute touch. usually i think a lot of boba shops are too sweet even when i ask for less sugar but this one was really good. super friendly service here as well

A solid boba spot! Rather than any of their fancy signatures, we opted for some classic milk teas: the Jasmine Green Milk Tea and the OG Milk Tea.They know how to do milk tea. Classic. Delicious. No frills. Love that you can really taste the tea flavors! Absolutely recommend getting less sweet. We made the mistake of getting 100% sugar for one of our drinks and it was a little too much... Wanted to note that their playlist is absolutely insane. We totally had Shazam out the entire time. (Think Chill RnB and Hip Hop vibes!)

Visiting Seattle for a few days--coming from Bay Area with lots of great boba tea shops I walked in with high expectations! Happy to report my expectations have met! Loved the calming modern ambiance with simple classic wooden tables & chairs.We came in late at night, 15 minutes til closing. Yeah i know, not the best time. The guy taking our order at the register greeted us without a drop of irritation. He was friendly, with such a great attitude! He earned the 5 star rating. Service was exceptional! There were so many creative drink selections to chose from, my daughter in law had a hard time deciding which one she wanted. He kindly (and patiently) helped her to make a decision--she went with the LYCHEE BOMB w/ boba...and loved it! The fresh fruit blend of strawberry and lychee was refreshing, not too sweet!My son immediately knew what he wanted--the PURPLE GALAXY--he loved the slushy creamy texture of taro mixed with chocolaty accent of Oreos! He said it's his favorite drink!I went with THAIGER house milk tea blend with honey boba & lychee jelly! Did I mention that the boba was fantastic?--deliciously warm and soft with the perfect amount of chew. The flavor combinations were right on point, my taste buds were very happy! The guy at the register went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with our drinks. It passed the boba thirst bar with flying colors!I will be back!!

Fast and friendly service! Really enjoyed their menu as they had lots of options and some unique things I hadn't really seen before at other places. The service here is friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is fun and clean. Prices fair. All in all I really enjoyed my Thai tea with honey Boba. It was delicious! I'd certainly come back!

SO SO HAPPY that they finally opened a Bobalust in Seattle! I love this chain and am so happy it's now in UDist. Even though their teas aren't the most authentic, I think their flavors are really creative and I always come here when I am craving a lot of sugar. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a new flavor, the Hello Kitty, which was a Strawberry Milk Tea with Strawberry. I swapped out the strawberry bits for strawberry jelly, which in my opinion, was GREAT. I will always come over to Bobalust when I am in the area :)

The staff at BobaLust are super friendly and great! I ordered the chi-chi which is a lychee blue curaçao milk tea with strawberry jelly. I was told by the staff blue curaçao has a citrusy flavor and they really knew their drinks. Its a pretty good drink that has a creamy lychee floral flavor. The strawberry jelly is a little irregularly shaped so some came up the straw while some were stuck. Overall, chi-chi was a little on the sweeter end so I have to try other drinks before making a better decision. Also, there's a lot of seating indoors but keep in mind there's no restroom.

I have been looking for a yummy boba place to call my favorite on the Ave and BobaLust exceeded my expectations. The service is always great and the workers are friendly. The vibe inside is good, it's dark with a good subtle music playing. I would suggest this place if you are going on a first date or just doing some homework. Overall I've always had good experiences here and the drinks are consistently yummy!

BobaLust UW opened up at the start of the month in July 2022. Pretty decent bubble tea, but their drinks lean on the sweeter side with less of an emphasis on the taste of the tea. They have milk, fruit tea, smoothie, and slushie options. I got 50% sugar but it tasted more like 100% sugar compared to most bubble tea shops. I envision the bubble tea to be like equivalent to cocktail drinks except non-alcoholic. They're creative with the names with the drinks being more bright and colorful. The customer service was great. The employee offered to remake my drink if it wasn't to my liking. I feel like there are too many boba shops on the Ave so there is already a lot of competition. The store interior is kept clean and simple. It's conveniently located on the Ave so it makes a great stop for a boba tea run.

I stopped by this week for the first time and was disappointed by how unauthentic the flavors on the menu were and how extremely overcooked the boba in my "OG Milk Tea" was. As others have commented, the seats are uncomfortable - but otherwise I thought the decor was cute and the staff was kind.

I ordered the Thai Green Tea with boba. Overall the drink was good; a bit on the pricier end but it was of a decent size and hit the spot, so I can't complain. However, the employee working the register convinced me to not do 0% sugar but 50% because tea would be bitter otherwise. I should have listened to my gut instinct because even 50% was a bit too sweet for me. :(I still liked my drink though and would recommend both the cafe and the Thai Green Tea specifically. If in the area and craving boba, I'll definitely stop by again. Service was fast too.
