Meetea Cafe- Capitol Hill

Fun little tea spot. Good luck finding parking. Got the hot taro milk tea and a meetea family. Both were great!

Order: Purple rice yogurt smoothie ($6.45), boba taro dirty milk with creama ($5.99), Cheese boba toast ($5.50)tldr: it's alright.The toast: It was not really good value. The boba to cheese ratio is overwhelming, I would expect there to be more cheese than boba in it. The crust ratio is also kinda bad, like there was probably a 3/4 inch thick frame with a 3 inch wide square of filled bread. It also is made of the plain white bread you find at costco in bulk. Not really worth $5.50 but if you're feeling like it, it isn't bad.boba taro dirty milk with creama: It just tasted like milk, couldn't taste the creama as much. This drink wasn't it.Purple rice yogurt smoothie: Pretty good value drink. A little strange of an aftertaste for me, but I think others may like it.The service overall was pretty good. Two things I noticed, though; one, our toast wasn't cut in half when the picture kinda showed it like that, and we came as a couple. Not a huge deal, but still something. Two, I saw mobile orders being left out on a table for a while during the preparation of our food, so I'm sure that those were getting pretty warm while the delivery person was driving over to pick them up, especially since it was a pretty hot day out and there wasn't a ton of air conditioning throughout the space. Overall the space is also a pretty nice place to chill, but there didn't seem like there was a ton of seating.

I'm not a big fan of tapioca pearls so I got things that don't have it. Starting with the tarp and pork sung/meat floss toast, it made a pretty good snack, though lacked a bit of taro. It's somewhat small so I wouldn't recommend sharing. They don't add any extra flavorings so expect these things to taste exactly as what they are when panini pressed. For a drink, I went with the oddity on the menu - pumpkin milk tea. (And it's not even fall yet!) I can't tell if it's made with real pumpkin, but at least it doesn't have an artificial taste to it. Judging by the tea flavor in it, I can tell that the regular milk tea or green tea would be good. The macarons are more like macaroons than macarons, as has a skirt base and cookie texture. The filling flavors are authentic. it's unique and I like it, but don't expect a French macaron.They are using Self-kiosk tablets, and thankfully they have pictures for everything. The staff are unlikely to help you; they give off an attitude of not wanting to interact at all. Inside seating is limited to a bar of 6 seats, but it opens up to the back area of the other shops in the alley.

I came on a rainy afternoon and ordered the coconut milk with sago and purple rice. It was delicious and I loved the consistency. In the cafe, there is some seating to do some work or studying. You can also find some more seating in the door to the hallway next to the other restaurants.For ordering, you can order on the kiosks or through the cafe employee! Overall, great place to be if you're craving boba in Cap Hill.

I got a taro milk tea with 100% sweetness (the only way) and it was delish. I really enjoyed this latte, not too bitter, and a great ube after taste. I'm on any ube latte/ube milk tea tour around Seattle right now and this one is one of the higher scoring ones.

To be honest the food/drinks are pretty good but the service was terrible. We came in twenty minutes before closing and I get that that the closer it gets to closing, the more it sucks when customers come in. But there really is no excuse for not acknowledging a customer. The cashier saw us and just continued cleaning. I didn't realize there was a tablet service so we were standing there for some time. No thank you's, smiles, or anything and very obvious that we were not welcome. For context, we were the only customers inside. Grapefruit Slushie: was really refreshing and not watered down or too sweet. It was tart, had bits of grapefruit for some texture; overall the perfect summer drink.Cheese Boba toast: very good but a little hard to eat with all the runny cheese (grab extra napkins!) Innovative and the boba was very soft.The food and drinks were a solid 4 or 5/5 but the service was an easy 1. Averaged out but might update if i go back.

Service is a 6 out of 10No greetings or friendly staffDrink: 8 out of 10You order when you walk in they have tablets on the right-hand side as you enter.I would definitely go again and grab something if I'm passing by, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it.

When we arrived, there was no one there for like 5 mins. We were awkwardly just standing there waiting for someone to come. May have been in the bathroom? I didn't realize we could just order on the wall. I got to lychee power drink 30% sugar and with coconut jelly? It was watered down and the lemon was way too strong. I would not suggest putting a thick lemon slice in there. Maybe thin small ones. Boba cheese toast- hard to eat and the cheese was really runny and watery. The edges of the toast were too crunchy and hard to eat. Just not my cup of tea. Probably won't come again. Sorry!

I love the array of options and this place feels and offers different items than what you'd see on a standard boba chain in the city. It's nice to have such a shop in the area, given the plethora of nationwide, as opposed to smaller-scale, chains of boba shops.I'd say the ambiance and service is slightly lacking, at least the time I went. The space is small with limited seating. The snacks look okay, but super heavy. Sometimes when I pass by, I overlooked it because it feels a little quiet, even though it deserves more foot traffic. I love taro and appreciated all the taro options on the drink menu. Ordered the taro smoothie and it was a tad too heavy on the ice and sweetness, but still good. They have drinks with less common combos of sago, purple rice, sweet potato, and yogurts as well. But the options don't feel overwhelming, but rather thoughtfully curated. Will definitely be back to try their other options.

Came here to grab a quick bubble tea! The staff was very nice and answered some of my questions on the drinks. The store was cute and clean. I enjoyed my drink! Parking in cap hill could always be a challenge for me. Appreciated that I could grab a drink on the go while I was walking around the area.
