DIY TEA LAB

There are some amazing milk tea places in Seattle, and DIY Tea Lab is on par with them. Nothing special jumped out at me about the drinks, but they were solid.I got one milk tea, the Thai tea, and one fruit smoothie, the lychee smoothie. One thing I appreciated was that the sweetness level was adjustable. It was also not too strong - at some tea places, even 25% sweetness is an overwhelming amount of sugar, but that was not at all the case here. The staff were very friendly, and I got my drinks within about five minutes of ordering. This location also offers a free drink if you leave an online review - a great deal that you should definitely take advantage of!

Just visited today to try their drinks and I'm surprised by some of the other reviews! Service was super friendly and the peach oolong milk tea I got was really good! At 50% sweet and light ice, I really thought it was a nice twist on standard black milk tea, which is my usual drink of choice. That's saying a lot because I'm pretty picky about my milk teas and I don't like drinks that taste artificial or too floral. So this was a great base milk tea with that hint of peach. Try it with honey pearls and it's !I will be back, so see you soon DIY!

Really bad brown sugar milk drink and only mediocre mango smoothie. The mango smoothie tasted syrupy (although the lychee jelly could have contributed) it was just meh. The texture was alright but the flavor just seemed fake. The brown sugar milk drink was straight up really bad (and possibly not enough) brown sugar flavoring and so it just tasted like milk. You can tell by the look of it, it was not promising....unfortunate because if this place was good it'd be more convenient. Guess we'll go for the don't yell at me instead.

Yummy!!! Even our pup loved it! No line, friendly staff, delicious boba tea and all sorts of flavors! ‍

I love boba and have been to many boba places. I can't say that I've been to one where the lone employee could care less about how your drink is made. I can see why this place needs to constantly offer a Groupon. I would never come back again and tell others to avoid this place. It was terrible. Base drink is $5.50 plus toppings. Drinks were meh. We both asked for less ice and the guy filled the cup to the top with ice. Not even kidding. What the heck. Tea flavor was so weak. I could see him adding different amounts of sweetener despite us both asking for 25 percent sweetness so one of them was way sweeter. Can they at least pretend to measure?The ube sea salt foam just sits on top and doesn't mix in well into the drink. Given how slow business is, I wonder about how fresh everything is...ie how old is this dairy foam.Can I get a refund? I can see why this location has such a bad rating.

I'm giving this biz 2 stars simple because they kept messing up with the orders. We ordered brown sugar milk tea for pick up, instead we got classic milk tea. I ordered through door dash too, paid for two milk tea, arrived only 1. Clarified to the dasher as well, and the mistake clearly not on their end.I ordered again the other day for pick up, I mentioned in the notes with issues before. I don't know it feels weird, but normally once it's ready, it really is ready. This time, it's not. Maybe the person who's working did not like the fact that I mentioned those.

DIY tea lab is one of our favorite boba shops. They have a large variety of drinks and they feature desserts bubble waffle! They also have savory snacks like spam musubi and popcorn chicken. My all time favorite drink is the white peach oolong milk tea, 25% sweet with crystal boba. I've gotten this drink with regular boba as well, it's still good, just a little sweeter. My husband loves his standard ruby black tea with boba, 50% sweet. The tea flavor is really strong in the Ruby, which he loves!In the past we have also gotten lychee green tea, taro lover milk tea, thai ice, and the sea salt ube. I've tried a few of their sparkling drink series during the summer time as well, it very refreshing & bubbly. The bubble waffle, its curved and a little more crispy than other bubble waffle varieties, I do wish it was a tad bit softer and more chewy inside. Overall, we love DIY tea lab, they are pretty consistent amongst their different locations and we love to visit them whenever we can!

Overpriced, sugary drinks. This place is awful and truly feels like I could DIY my drink (and come up with an equally bad result). I ordered the strawberry fresh milk and it turned out nothing like the picture and was basically a $5 cup of milk. Also, I placed an order around 7 and was told that they had run out of boba by then. How can a boba tea place run out of boba??Save your money, go elsewhere.

DIY's boba is chewy but doesn't have the sweetness to it like HappyLemon or ShareTea, so I order drinks with the crystal boba instead. The crystal boba also doesn't taste bland if you don't finish your drink and store it in the fridge overnight.I always order online so that I can just pick up my drinks right when I arrive. If you order inside the wait can be ~5 minutes or longer if there are other orders assured of yours.4 outta 5, because they should consider a name change since it's not "DIY."

When I went in the other day I was greeted by a worker who just stared and me while I ordered and didn't say a word. I ordered the pandan bubble waffle and the strawberry fresh milk drink. While the bubble waffle was great, the drink was a little off. At the time, I thought that the sourness was from the strawberries, but the next morning I found myself extremely sick. It turns out that the drink was most likely made with expired milk and the sourness came from that. I tried to call the location to at least warn them to check the milk's expiration date, but I was once again greeted with horrible customer service. Someone picked up the phone and immediately told me "No English, sorry. Have a nice day" and hung up on me. While I am understanding of language differences making things a bit harder, hanging up the phone on customers suddenly is a huge no from me. It is extremely unfortunate that this location has become like this. When it first opened, the food and drinks were amazing and the location was relaxing. I hope others do not face the same issues I had and that whoever is working this location at least checks their ingredients more often.
