TL;DR: on the pricier side, you are charged for less/no ice option. Overly sweet in my opinion -- try to not get 100% sweetness.Parking: street side onlyAtmosphere: small cafe setting with some board games to use while visiting. Menu: digital menu on the wall leading up to the register. Non-descriptive and no images -- drink titles only. Adjusting to have more sugar costs extra. Adjusting to have less or no ice costs extra as well $0.25 and $0.50.Service: walk in and order at the kiosk or at the register. White Rabbit Shake: pretty artificial tasting if you ask me. The boba was tasty though.Salted Caramel Shake: Tasty and strong. If you have a sweet tooth you should get this. I think it was a bit overpowering though.Boba: nice chewy texture and you can really taste the brown sugar.

Pochi Bubble Tea Cafe is a nice place in the Juanita Beach neighborhood of Kirkland, offering a long list of different boba drinks, slushees, shakes, fruit teas, etc., as well as some snack items. But the best part about this place is that it's dog friendly, and when I say dog friendly, I mean, you can bring your dog inside - not just out in the outdoor seating area. Love it! I was meeting up with a friend for some boba and we decided to check this place out. I had no idea how dog friendly it was until I saw the sign that indicated so and they even have some dog friendly items on the menu! So fun! But I mean, the mascot of Pochi is a shiba, so of course this is the case. If you're looking for a spot to hang out with your dog indoors, this is a great option. We visited on a Friday afternoon and the place was very quiet, with just us hanging out inside. There are plenty of tables for groups as well as a couch area for hanging out. The menu is featured on a screen on the wall, and it's massive. Whatever kind of drink you're into, they have it here. It's a little overwhelming, but at least you know there's something for everyone here, especially if you come with a group. I ended up getting a Taro Oreo shake, which was solid. The taro was nice and liked the Oreo blended throughout. My friend enjoyed her classic milk tea with boba. They have a bunch of different toppings to add for your drink. For snacks, they have popcorn chicken, tots, etc, with different dipping sauces. It didn't take long for us to get our orders.I would come back and try more of the menu, especially knowing that I can bring dogs here! Make a dog date with your friends and hang out here. Just know that parking is only in the Juanita Village parking area, which only allows for two hours or you can find street parking if you plan to hang out longer.

I've come to this Pochi a few times since it opened bc I love their Asian Pear slush! I used to go to the Lynnwood location for this specific drink but haven't been there in years since I've moved farther away from it, so I was so glad to see it open up in Kirkland and even more glad to see that their menu is the same! I've only tried the Asian Pear slush so I can't speak for any other drink, but I really just love this flavor. It actually doesn't taste exactly like Asian Pear, but more like regular pears. I also don't normally get toppings in my milk tea, but I've tried both boba and lychee jelly with this drink and they both go well with it. Oh and some toppings here are "included" so there's no extra charge for either of those toppings! If you're looking for a refreshing drink and like pears, try the Asian Pear slush here! I promise you it's good!

Been here about three times and although this place is well reviewed, I find that the drinks here are pretty mid. Got the Taro and Honeydew milk teas. Got less sugar but was still pretty sweet, the flavouring also tasted slightly artificial. I've also gotten their specials (Razzle Dazzle and Electric Mango). It was expensive considering it was basically flavoured soda. If you are looking for a place with good milk tea flavours, Pochi might not be the place for you. I think their specialization is in fruit drinks, and more trendy/gimmicky options.

Service was great and quick. Lady at the cashier helped us to choose our drinks. First time at the store and definitely not our last visit. The taro bubble tea tasted better than the peach tea. The boba was a little bit on the harder, chewier side which I don't mind at all. In fact I prefer it that way but my husband said he wished it wasn't as hard...Reasonably priced. They have alternatives to dairy milk. Wide selection of fun drinks to choose from. Store is quite spacious. They got their own merchandise and cards which are absolutely hilarious. Stop by if you're in the area!!

Best bubble tea place on the eastside here. I used to go to the original location in lynnwood all of the time. Even went to some car meets there. I am so glad they opened a kirkland location which is much closer to me. They did a great job building this location too. Very modern and bright inside. Its a fun environment to play games with friends or to just hang out and catch up. The employees are so nice and helpful when trying to choose something off their broad menu. They have a pleather of options from slushee, to milk tea, milkshakes, and classic bubble teas. They even have really good lemonades. I love Pochi and will always call them my favorite. I honestly wish hawaii had something like this wonderful place. Every time I go back home I wish the bubble tea there was as good as here.

Decently-sized bubble tea and snack/dessert cafe in Juanita. Direct parking is street parking only, but Juanita itself has tons of parking space in its various plazas which are a very short walk away.Atmosphere (4.5 out of 5): To me, the best part of Pochi is its atmosphere, the designs and vibes are cute and friendly, good for a solo work excursion, a quick takeout snack, or hanging out in a group. Seating is ample and the music is good.Service (3.5 out of 5): Pochi offers either tablet-order or standard counter order. Pick up is self-serve at the counter. Unfortunately, the tablet order menu isn't super clear - it only really has drink names and few images with few indications of what is included and what is considered an add-on. Food (3 out of 5): Overall, super, super sweet - especially the specialty drinks and smoothies. Highly recommend reducing sweetness percentage to start and then working your way up. The drinks were good but not overly great or fantastic - and if I had to pick I would say it's more artificial flavors than authentic. A comparable would be Bobalust which I think is a step up. Value (2 out of 5) - Definitely on the pricier side - they also charge for less/no ice which was a surprise for me ordering at the counter (they also didn't mention it when ordering). Portions are standard-size cups.Overall, it took a couple visits to adjust to and understand how to order drinks to my liking. While I think there's better priced and better tasting options, Pochi isn't "bad" by any means and is always an option to stop by for a nice vibe, either solo or in a group.

Found this place on a whim and it did not disappoint! Super fast service and I was able to get my drink in less then 5mins. Got the classic black milk tea since it was my first time trying this place and it was delicious. You can actually taste the fresh tea flavor with the milk and it's not overly sweet. I will be back for sure to try their extensive money. They also have some food options if you're having some munchies and want something to snack on like fries Plenty of parking on the street!

A sweet little boba spot. The tapioca has a soft chewy consistency that doesn't taste bland. There's a huge variety of sugary flavors and options to choose from.There was throwback r&b and pop music playing in the background while we waited for our order. My son was watching SpongeBob on the tv too. They have plenty of cool merch.I also like the logo, because who doesn't like dogs?5 outta 5

I love this place! It's a go-to if I want really tasty bubble tea but also a place to chill with my friends. The staff are always really nice :) AND some toppings are free if you get a drink (comes with the price of it). always raises my expectations !!!Although the fries might've not been my favorite (a little soggy) the boba here is outstanding 10/10. Love the Thai Tea!
