July 10, 2022Our first time here — and our kiddos loved their Bobae drinks.The friendly team members took their time explaining what flavors would be good for kids. So helpful!!They both had a chocolate milk base, with tapioca balls, “popping balloons” and a splash of vanilla(?).Our son had the mango-flavored popping balloons and our daughter had the strawberry popping balloons.Perfect drinks for a hot summer day in Seattle suburbia ??????
Fantastic place for boba! They have always made sure the drinks I order fit with any dietary restrictions I have and, on top of that, their tea is the best milk tea I've ever had! They offer monthly flavor specials (e.g. mango this past June) and they do not disappoint! I personally prefer this location to their one on the waterfront as you can sit inside and the parking couldn't be easier. If you like matcha, I cannot recommend their Ceremonial Matcha milk tea with Oatly enough!
Very sweet staff and lovely drinks. I got the Sapphire Moonlight with super tender tapioca boba. If you’re specifically a fan of lavender you will love this delicious and beautiful option.
Love this place!!! They are always super friendly and kind. Lots of flavors to choose. I got the sapphire moonlight and the first sip made me feel like I was in a flower shop. Sooo refreshing and good.
Best boba tea I’ve ever had!! I’ve honestly never had anything even similar. I got the love potion (the pink one in the photo) and it just tasted so fresh. The boba is also top tier, the perfect texture. I’ve gone every week since my first visit and I can’t imagine stopping. It’s just so perfect! I highly recommend the love potion, sapphire moonlight, and the nitro Thai tea. Though I’m sure every single thing on their menu is great.
Bobae Coffee & Tea has a fun beverage for everyone! Seriously, skip Starbucks and head to Bobae. Want something refreshing? Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade (with or without the Boba). Want something hot, Thai Tea (again with or without boba). They always have some sort of special drink going on too. There are so many aaaaaammmaaaazing options that you will have to keep going back to try them all. The staff is so nice and friendly and are happy to explain anything and everything to you. This place is pretty popular so if you are in a hurry you can order ahead online or using the Toast app.
Really wanted to give it 5 stars but I've tasted really good tea before and make my own loose leaf tea and the hibiscus lemonade was said to be made with loose leaf tea, but did not taste like it. Claimed to not have additives but there was definitely something. Aside from that, boba was decent, lemonade tasted great, and my partners coffee cup was good aside from the fact that the lid kept leaking for a bit as if they overfilled the cup. Not a bad place, will try it again and hopefully update my review. It's a very cute indoor setting, peppy staff and good vibes.
I have been going to Bobae in Woodinville for over two years. I LIVE in Kirkland but I would make the trek for the best boba in the area. They’ve got the absolute best tea flavor, true real flavors, nothing artificial, and you can taste the difference! I always make sure to try at least one of their special drinks every month, but my usual Bae Milk Tea (a brown sugar earl grey milk tea) is just so perfect every time it’s hard not to order. I am so grateful and excited that they’ve opened a Kirkland location, and I will be coming even more frequently!
I have had the pleasure of going to the Woodinville location of Bobae consistently for a year now. The owners—Karma and Joey, but, their whole staff as well—run this creative space beyond reproach. They have really embodied Starbucks’ philosophy of the third place. Bobae is a safe, welcoming place where the staff genuinely care about you, whether it’s by following pandemic protocols and wearing masks, or by taking the time to not only learn your name, but, remember it.As for the bubble tea, it is spectacular. They have popular staples such as Nitro OG Milk Tea and Nitro Bae-Kok Thai Tea that I love. But, it’s their rotating monthly creative menu that really seals the deal for me. It really gives everyone the opportunity to try out something new. And the fact that it’s only available with a known end date makes it a bittersweet affair, but, there’s always something new to discover and enjoy the following month! My favorite month is whenever they bring back their ube series. I know I’m not alone in this feeling.They also make delicious cream-filled doughnuts every month. They are limited-time only and I think the most recent batch (February 2022) sold out in two minutes. Yes, they are that good.Bobae also has a brand-new location in downtown Kirkland right next to Isarn Thai Soul Kitchen, which has splendid food. Anyway, the Kirkland location of Bobae is pick-up only and the interior is incredibly romantic. Remember, Bobae is a creative space, so, they take aesthetics and atmosphere as seriously as they do their bubble tea, loose tea, coffee, baked goods, etc.Just a really good place with really good drinks and friendly people to make them for you. What could be better?
Every time I stop by, it’s always a pleasant experience. The drinks are delicious and creative while the staff is always ever so helpful during my visits.Both owners seem to care a lot about the business they run and the rest of the crew seems to as well with their enthusiasm and knowledgeable recommendations. There was a time where Crystal has helped me out in choosing something outside my regular order (I generally stick to one item) and it turned out great!
