The Bubble Tea Shop - Seattle

I wouldn’t recommend this place. The bubble tea is very watered down and bland. The tapioca pearls are stiff and hard at the center. Very overpriced for such poor quality. I don’t have high standards at all for boba, but this was the first boba shop that was a bad experience in general.

I don't think they use real tea. It tastes like mixed powders and syrups.To pay $8 for basically sugar milk is too much.The brown sugar milk tea was disgusting, horrible flavor. The Boba does not fit through the straws and are incredibly tough like licorice- not how Boba should feel.

I got a 50% sugar thai ice tea with boba and it tasted like water the tapiocas weren’t even ready yet they were still half frozen! it’s so expensive and a hella long wait!

I guess I should have checked reviews before I went to The Bubble Tea Shop. I was not acknowledged by the person working the shop when I came in, but she certainly saw me when I thought the kiosk was self service, because I had been standing there so long and the cashiering system was facing customers, as it would be for self service. The young lady rolled her eyes at my $1 tip for a drink that cost less than $10. She did acknowledge the white couple that came in after me in no time, while making my order. When she was done she sat my drink on the counter and walked away without speaking to me. I felt uncomfortable and discriminated against for my entire visit. I will not return.

Just skip this place and go to another boba shop. I get boba pretty often and this one wasn't very exciting. The selection is very minimal and theres not a big selection of teas and toppings to choose from. The taste is ok, but not enough to warrant the $8. There are other mom and pop shops with better tasting tea and is cheaper with a wider selection. There's only one size to choose from and its just average. I found weird granules what I assume to be sugar that hasn't been dissolved in my lychee jelly. The customer service is lacking. They gossip in front of customers and were generally pretty rude and curt. Wouldn't really recommend and left me craving better boba.
