Yin’s Tea

Ambiance: 4/5This is a cute, aesthetic, and clean boba shop with charming decor. I love their menu TVs and the self-ordering tablet--very modern and fun to use! The downside is that they only have two small tables, so it's not really a place to hang out. It's more of a grab-and-go spot. They also offer blind box drinks, which are a fun and unique experience, though a bit on the pricey side.Service: 5/5The bobarista was fast at making our drinks and super friendly. They were also patient with us since it took us a while to decide what to order. My sister even got a FREE birthday drink, which was a sweet bonus! I also like their cups which are reusable but the large one was out of stock which was totally fine.Drinks:Cloudy Friday Creama: 5/5This is a green tea drink with salty, cheesy foam on top. They were out of the jasmine crema, so I tried this one instead, and I loved it! The creamas are my favorite--they're so creamy and delicious. Definitely a must-try!Dirty Peach: 3/5My sister and I weren't huge fans of this one. I think it's a newer item, and I personally don't love peach drinks. It also comes with crystal boba, which was an interesting texture.The boba used to be a bit hard in the past, but it seems like they've perfected it now! It's super chewy and great to taste.I've been here a couple of times, and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area, especially after some Korean food nearby. It's a convenient and tasty stop!

Came here for a yelp event, but had to come back with friends this time because my bf & were craving it! The dirty peach was the drink we couldn't get out of our minds. So unique. We got it with more tea the first time as a recommendation from the person working, but I wanted to try more yogurt this time. The refreshing flavor with real peaches, so yummy. More yogurt was good, but I think i will stick to more tea. We also got the pinky pinkie that first time, not as good as the peach as I think maybe it would be better if there a different type of tea in it. The jasmine tea is really strong in this one, maybe it'd be better if we try that one with more yogurt next time. This time my bf went with Spongebob, very refreshing pina colada type flavor, blended which I love blended drinks because it's like you get your money worth since you don't have ice chunks in it. Worth the trip over the bridge. This place has become a must stop everytime we are in Portland. Go try it out.

Refreshing drinks at Yin's Tea located off 79th and Powell in the shopping center by WinCo and the poker club. Pretty clean and nice inside- super cute decor!. No tables to sit, waiting area though; service was great and the gal was friendly. I got the 'bitch green' (matcha tea) with the surprise plush toy and it was cute! I ordered extra sweet and always forget that it means the amount of boba or not. . A little much. Checking out their Facebook, Looks like they have a 'SpongeBob' smoothie of pineapple and coconut and may have to get one to end the summer. .they also have stamp cards too.

Yin's tea is a tea lover's paradise. We tried the peach tea with mystery cup, the flavor of tea was very rich and smooth with peach pearls and we added boba too to the tea. I really love the idea of mystery cup because it makes you happy instantly. Who doesn't like a surprise which is cute The ambience of the place is very serene and minimalistic. The best thing I loved about the place was its very clean and they maintained it really well. The tea selection is impressive with unique flavors. Star detail: There was an actual peach inside the tea making it more flavorful. I tried boba tea at many places, never seen this uniqueness. I really appreciate places which are unique in their approach I'm hoping that they expand their business and open at other places too!! The service is amazing with friendly staff. Overall, a must try!!

I've been here a couple times and it's overall been a decently good boba shop. The inside is clean, there's very limited seating (only a bench), and it is very bright and clean. Service here can be a bit slow but they're nice.The menu is pretty limited, and I've been able to try a good variety of them. Overall, I love how fun their drink names are and they have some special fruit and milk tea offerings. I recommend their fruit tea as they have real fruit in them and they're pretty good (it's just a shame you can't adjust the sweetness on a lot of them). The first time I went here, I had their green tea crema and the cream was amazing--the best in Portland. So, I was very excited to come back. Since then, I've ordered it a couple times but they've never made it the same as then--whether it's too flavorless, not cheesy/creamy enough, etc. Which is a shame. And so, I've noticed the quality can be inconsistent. Nonetheless, I do like the drinks they offer and do come back.

Okay wow!!! I've been to many boba places and have only been amazed by the experience a few times... and this is one of them. The ambiance has a very clean, aesthetic look and there is a screen where you can order from. There is minimal seating inside. There is a free parking lot by the store. The staff were all very nice and professional. I got the As-sam milk tea with less ice and 25% sugar. I LOVE strong tea flavors in boba and this place absolutely delivered that (a lot of places don't). It does not just taste like sugary milk with some tea flavor in the background.... the tea is truly the center of the drink. Also 25% sugar... is 25% sugar. I think this is a hard bar to meet for me as I don't very sweet drinks and 25% sugar was perfect (probably enhances the tea flavor too). I'm not sure this is unique to the As-sam or all of the drinks. Boba was cooked well, not hard or soggyr or overly sweet! Price are also pretty standard (about $6 for milk teas, $7 for special drinks). I also asked about the lavender milk tea and it is a syrup based drink. They also have a mystery cup in which a random plush or sticker can be found in the compartment under the drink, which is an idea I've only one other time. It an additional $5.50 or you can get a free one after receiving 10 stamps on their card. Definitely can see this being a way to garner regular customers who want to collect all of the plush/stickers. I would love to return!! Would very impressed to see this quality be consistent.

Well decorated, clean environment, and attentive staff. I came wanting to try their mango sago but they were out so the staff referred me to their taro slush as I was looking for something caffeine free. The taro was good, had authentic flavor and was well blended. The drinks range from $6-7 which is pretty good value nowadays. You can tell they put a lot of thought into their menu as there's unique names for each drink. Overall, I would definitely come back to try their other drinks and take advantage of their birthday special as they offer any drink for free on your birthday!

Delicious boba tea! I got the Sugar Babie. It's a smooth, non-bitter "King" milky black tea. You can choose the level of sweetness. I got 100%, which is regular sweet, but you can have no sweetness, 25%, etc. I got a cute "plushie" on a key chain as my "mystery cup" surprise.The staff was friendly and answered questions knowledgeably. It was sparkling clean as well! Thanks, Yin's and I hope you are a huge success! We'll be back when we are in the neighborhood.

I ordered the troublesome, which is an oolong milk tea and added boba to it. The milk tea was mediocre and nothing special. I didn't taste the oolong flavor in the drink as oolong usually has a strong roasted flavor. The boba was fine, nothing special. The service was quick and staff were nice on providing recommendations. There is parking on site but the parking area can get busy, so I parked a little further away. Overall, the shop is pretty aesthetic and clean.Oh they also have a cute mystery cup that comes with a mystery plush. Might be a fun thing to try out sometime.

I tried the Spongebob smoothie (pineapple and coconut) and the Assam milk tea with crystal boba, and both were delicious! The mystery toy concept was something new to me, and I thought it was really cute and unique.The interior decor was clean, modern, and minimalistic. The staff was very helpful and patient. Unfortunately, they were out of mango sago, so I'll have to come back for that another time.If you enjoy bubble tea with a strong tea flavor like I do, Yin's Tea is the place to go.
