Seattle Best Tea

We came here during the Lunar New Year festival food walk while they were running a promotion for 2 drinks for $6. I didnt know what to expect. When we got in the store there was a bunch of articles on the walls showing Seattle Best Tea as ranked super high. I was not impressed. The tea was decent but the boba was harder than I like. We ordered the oolong milk tea, but when we got the drink it tasted like black tea. l was surprised to see that all toppings were free. That's super rare to see at boba stores. My review might be a little skewed since we did go during their promotion so they were understandably super busy and may not have been at their best.

might've came in with high expectations because this place looked like an authentic tea shop, but honestly thought it was just okay..the heavy oolong milk tea seemed to be the most popular but I didn't really like the flavor, the tea had a slightly fruity pebble taste?? I thought there would be a stronger and better quality tea flavor, but that wasn't the case :( the winter melon tea was good tho, it was sweet and refreshing. it reminded me of my favorite childhood drink, yeo's white gourd (iykyk). honestly can't go wrong w this flavor! I loved that they also offer unlimited free toppings with each drink, and there were a lot of different options. got the boba, but it was kinda hard and not chewy. maybe I didn't go on a good day bc it didn't taste 'fresh' and was almost like it had been sitting out for a while...

One of my favorite boba spots in Chinatown because of how fresh the tea is here! It's a small grab-and-go shop with plenty of tea options on the menu, and they also serve ice cream. I also love the people who work here, since they're always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this shop to satisfy any of your boba cravings!

After having the "world's best" mac and cheese at Pike Place Market, I needed a palate cleanser. So I went to go get the best tea (allegedly) in Seattle. It was only fitting, right? This boba shop is near King Street and 5th Ave S. Right underneath the historic Chinatown Gate. It's very close to the light rail station. You'll probably see a crowd of people waiting outside for their orders. There was a line inside that moved relatively quickly. The back of the room had some tables but it was closed off when I visited. No seating outside. It's pretty much just a grab and go kind of spot. Their menu has a wide range of smoothies, milk teas, flavored teas, ice cream and normal brewed teas. You can adjust the sweetness of your drink, I find it interesting that 75% and 80% sugar levels are both available options here. If you can tell the difference, kudos to you. Toppings are free! You can get popping boba, red bean, normal tapioca boba, one of the jellies, or a combination of different ones. Black Milk Tea was weak and bland, but the sweetness was adjusted to my liking. Boba was on the soft side. Could be more QQ. A bit skimpy too. Prices aren't bad, but you couldn't pay me to visit again.

Decent boba spot in Chinatown, Seattle. I come here whenever I am craving boba after finishing grocery shopping at Uwajimaya. It is only a couple blocks down and you have time to grab the drinks after putting your groceries away in the car. Otherwise parking is quite difficult to find.They include free toppings with your drink and the prices are fair. I usually get the Wintermelon Milk Tea, but they have plenty of drinks to choose from.Is it the best though? Unfortunately not, I brought some friends here and they didn't enjoy the drinks that much. Therefore, I would say that they're a decent boba spot, but don't go out of your way for it.

We came to Seattle Best, which lived up to the name. They were a stop on the Chinatown food crawl, and being the boba lover I am, we could not pass it up. My cousin had never had boba, so I made him try it.We both got the honey jasmine with boba, and it was delicious. The wait was prolonged because of the food crawl, but the line moved quickly. The ambiance is a bit dated, but it is clean and delivers a quality product. Unfortunately, my cousin didn't like the texture of the boba but he did love the tea.

Actually the best bubble tea I had in Seattle. The exterior looked unimpressive and Seattle Best Tea isn't in an area of Seattle I'd feel safe at late at night. But the size of the interior was cozy. I wonder why there was a table deeper in the restaurant. I would've tried their food if they served anything else besides bubble tea. I had their milk tea. Like I wrote earlier, their milk tea is the best I've tried at Seattle. Hell, a small shop at the west coast that wasn't a franchise. Tapioca is not an extra charge, but you may need to ask for it. The price of a drink is enough to equal the price of bubble tea plus tapioca in other local shops and franchises anyway.

I have quite high standards for boba nowadays, and this spot was great! I found myself in the area after a hike and thought it was the perfect time to stop for a drink. I got the heavy oolong milk tea since oolong is my go-to and this one was #1 on the recommended list. They give free toppings with the drinks which was really nice, and I chose boba and red bean.The tea flavor was nice and strong, and at 50% sweet was just right if not a tad bit too sweet for me. Maybe I'll try 25% next time. The red bean was great, and the boba was also the perfect firmness and sweetness. I feel like boba spots that get the sweetness right nowadays is so rare. They aren't super generous with the amount of toppings but it's still enough. I'll have to try more of the drinks!

I get the hype! Seattle Best Tea is a boba/ice cream shop located in the international district/Chinatown. This was definitely a top recommendation I got before coming here and it did not disappoint. I got the heavy oolong milk tea with egg pudding and GIRL it was delicious!! The tea was the perfect amount of sweetness and the egg pudding was just so yummy. I also appreciated how the drink came with toppings. So much more affordable than the Bay Area. Definitely coming back again and trying their ice cream next time.

This is my favorite boba spot. Period. This is the first place where I got hooked on boba, so I remain loyal. Awesome service by Chris, who remembers you and your order.I recommend the Pink Lady, zero sweet w/ boba and lychee jelly.Drinks are moderately priced and toppings are included.It gets busy with a bit of a wait on the weekends, but so worth it.
