Seattle’s New Restaurant Openings - Seattle - The Infatuation

"There’s a new casual Vietnamese spot in the CID with a big menu of broken rice plates, banh mi, and fried fish balls. But it’s their over-the-top drinks that have the internet abuzz, like a nearly life-size Labubu milk tea topper you eat instead of clipping to your purse." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo

I love this hidden gem in Little Saigon! The food is amazinggg, all authentic Vietnamese street food. I love the flan and labubu in my drink. Service and atmosphere are very welcoming. The cashier is super nice and attentive.

One of the best spots for Viet Salty Coffee! Service is always fast, friendly, and the taste is my absolute favorite. The owner is super chill dude. Always come back and the coffee is just as good as the last time I visited.

$10 minimum for credit card (without fee) which isn't hard to hit, seeing most drinks are almost $6 before taxes. There was some unruly people in the plaza parking lot. There are seating but due to the location of this place, I don't feel safe for me or the car. I would come back again in broad daylight with others though! The drinks vietnamese creme brulee coffee drink I got feels standard ( sweeter side, reminds me of coffeeholic drinks). I didn't customize sweetness or ice levels. The smoothie, you can choose up to 3 fruits so how it tastes will be on you. The drinks came out fast since we were the only ones there. The place has a slight smell to it, can't really identify what it was ( kind of like a mix of ripe fruit and pancake batter).

Love the menu! Love the taste and presentation! The viet triangle pancake tasted great! Our server was really nice too. Gotta come back next time.

Cute, fresh, and good. Don't let the plaza scare you off, because you'll miss out on both this hidden gem and Chu Minh's next door. I got the salted viet coffee which was unique because of the saltiness, but REALLY good as it complemented the bitter and sweet perfectly. We also got fresh juice (orange and pineapple) and it was freshed pressed on the spot, the salted kumquat which was really refreshing, and the flan coffee drink. Reasonable prices for what you order, but super great value for what you taste.

This boba is delicious, everything was fresh and it was made really well. I got the brown sugar boba and a lychee green tea and my girlfriend and I loved them both. The establishment itself is cozy and clean and had a lot of nice people inside and there’s a lot of parking.

I finally tried their drink! They close earlier than other bubble tea place, I did not have a chance to go there when they were open. The menu was not as extensive as others, they offer quality drink. My usual drink which is avocado was excellent. Probably the best one so far. The staffs were very friendly and courteous. A small parking lot available.

This little boba spot in International district makes delicious drinks! Sadly it's in a very rough area so I don't come often. There is no seating so it's just an order and go place. Their menu has a fun collection of options to check out. Service was fast and friendly. Parking is easy in their parking lot, but don't leave anything of value in the car!

I dropped by Bubble Tea Fresh Fruit Juice as my last LNY Food Walk stop, at first thinking "Flan and Boba with any Foam" would be a milk tea with flan, boba and foam. I'm not sure what gave me that impression, but it's actually flan covered with boba and foam. Not what I was looking for as I was stuffed from other Food Walk stops, so I decided to get a normal drink instead: Classic Milk Tea, Jasmine Tea, 50% Sweet, Light Ice w/ Boba ($6) - To start, the drink doesn't taste like Jasmine flower at all. There's a bit of a bitterness from heavily brewed green tea, but no flowery flavor. Instead of the sweet jasmine, there's a bit of an earthiness that really reminds me of the taste of lotus flowers. A little strange, but I actually enjoyed the drink quite a bit. It's quite rich, with a creaminess that's thicker than most milk teas, which combined with that tinge of bitterness makes a good drink. The sweetness starts a bit on the sweeter side, but starts to mellow out and by the end of the drink is barely sweet. I think this is partly due to the snap lid that doesn't allow the drink to be shaken, and the fact that the ice levels, even at half, is quite a bit more than competitors, watering down the drink for those who prefer to slowly sip. The boba is surprisingly good, much better than I thought it would be. There's a slight sweetness on each pearl and the size and smoothness on the exterior is very consistent. The chew and bounce are both quite good, albeit a littler firmer than perfect. Still, it's a pretty solid boba for a pretty solid establishment. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 There's a sign in the shop that states that they brew multiple batches of tea throughout the day and the milk they use is lactose-free. The "Fresh" in their name certainly doesn't lie! This was a great last stop for my Food Walk, and I left for home feeling happy and full. Bathrooms - None

I was there a few days ago and while the coffee is good the service was bad for me. The order tabket is way towards the back so I wasn't able to see it until about 10 ppl who walked in after I'd already been there waiting to be helped were able to be prioriy at my expense. I had a simple coffee order which i was about to walk out in because I was already running behind. most of the customers are very unfriendly if you're not Vietnamese ppl feel emboldened to sit in your seat and cut in front of you.

The mango smoothie is heavenly! Like a blended mango in a cup this smoothie is FRESH! I also tried a Vietnamese coffee and it was very good. A tad darker than usual and I liked it! Definitely packs a punch like you'd expect and hope it to.

This isn't a detriment to the business, but it is important to know it is very sketchy outside. The lot is closed off except for one entrance at a very busy bus stop, so there's a lot of foot traffic, construction, and impediments that might leave you sitting in the road. The parking lot is not busy, though, so it should be easy enough to get a spot. The inside is clean and very updated. There is seating for about 10. There is a 3.50 charge for orders under $10 on a card, so bring friends or cash. I didn't love standing around without being greeted for so long, and the wait was long because a group of 4 ordered before me. My order (combo savory pancakes and brown sugar milk tea with boba) came out fast after the order before mine was completed. I didn't realize the pancakes came two to an order, and that each one included every ingredient listed (cream cheese, pork, pate). Lucky for me the one I ate wasn't very cream cheese heavy. It was warm, crisp but tender, and the salty, meaty filling was delicious juxtaposed with the slightly sweet pancake. My 5 year old happily chowed down on his. I'd definitely order these again, even though they were 5.75 for only two pieces. The brown sugar milk tea was meh. It's not the best I've had. It lacks the deep richness of caramelized sugar and leans more bitter. My boba tea crazy teen finished it quickly enough, though. Priced like every other spot in town, so I'll try that pineapple kiwi smoothie and the Oreo salt cream next!

Great Vietnamese bubble tea and juice shop in the edge of ID/CD. Small parking lot available. Shop complex is a bit sketchy, like all establishments in this area. Menu was extensive, with top sellers clearly indicated. A few desserts were available on top of the drink options. Prices were competitive and tea tasted great. Classic and unique offerings on the menu. Seating is limited to anoht

Quick service and good quality boba. They offered a variety of different flavors between fresh pressed juice and teas, milk teas and toppings or jellies. They were fast and the interior was very cute. The location has parking but is by a rambunctious bus stop so felt a little uneasy trying to pull into the lot. Over all it was a good drink & staff were very nice! I loved the salted foam with the brown sugar tea milk for a balance of sweet and savory

I'll be the first to admit that I totally underestimated this place because of the name. I felt a boba shop should come up with a more creative name, but don't let that fool you like it almost did to me. They offer some of the best, affordable fruit smoothies with boba that makes this place absolutely worthwhile. I ordered a Strawberry-Watermelon Smoothie with Soy Milk and Boba, and this combination was everything. You can mix in any of the fresh fruits they have available to make your smoothie and select your milk of choice. The fact that the fruit blend tasted fresh, you have milk alternatives, and they have good boba... *chef's kiss* My drink was fantastic and refreshing after a hearty lunch next door. My partner got a standard milk tea with half sugar, and it was quite bland even with the half sugar. I'd suggest sticking with the fresh fruit goodness if you're coming here and grab a milk tea at another boba shop. Parking is available in a private lot. The area may feel a bit sketch closer to the evening but is still safe during the day. Don't let the gates intimidate you.

Second time we tried this place and sadly, it's been a let down. Maybe it's what we are ordering? With the name of fresh fruit, we probably should try a fresh fruit boba drink. But with the cold days, we've ordered two hot drinks. Both are high priced at $7, and for around 8oz. That's alot of $ for not much drink. Matcha with crystal boba- There was so many tiny bits of the crystal boba throughout the drink. It led to the texture of drinking milk that's gone off and curdled- not pleasant. First time it's ever happened, I honestly think the person didn't prepare the boba correctly. The matcha itself was an odd brown-green color, and tasted like old powder improperly mixed into the milk. This is by far the worst boba we've ever gotten. Taro milk tea with tapioca- Really really sweet and again tastes like a bunch of artificial powder poorly mixed into the liquid base. Side note- reusable mugs are not accepted here.

My new favorite boba place! It's so hard to find a place that does smoothies with fresh fruits and there are a LOT of options for fresh fruit smoothies. I got the avocado smoothie, which was huge for $7. Definitely worth it and definitely coming back to try out the new summer offers.

We had taro blended smoothies with tapioca. They were delicious! I appreciate the non-dairy milk options. It's a cute place and the woman was very friendly. I also like the to-go bag. Just under $12 for 2.

I stopped by recently after noticing this business recently got remodeled and updated. After ordering I briefly spoke with the cashier who let me that know that there was a management/owner. I ordered the avocado smoothie and their savory viet hotdog -it was so good. Smoothie was super fresh and you can taste the fresh avocados that they use and it's not like the powdery ones you get from some places. I would recommend coming here for a quick stop :)

It was my first time trying the durian milkshake here, and a friend recommended I try one. Apparently, the fact whether you like durian or not is based on genetics: some find it extremely repulsive and can not stand it all, while others find it sweet and custardy (thankfully I am part of the second bucket). The restaurant is located in a bit of a shady corner so I would not go here at night. The crowd outside didn't make it seem really safe. In the morning, afternoons it seems okay, if you have someone with you. The restaurant is clean and safe from inside, and the orders are completed really quickly. They are not open for any sort of seating, I think even pre-covid, so it is just grab and go. They have a lot of different flavours for fruit smoothies and I saw some fresh fruit so I could guess it is prepared fresh. I had no complains!

Fantastic location at the corner of S Jackson St and 23rd Ave S. It is also located across from the Hau Hau Supermarket in the Little Saigon District. The Regular Bubble Milk Tea tasted fine. I was so glad I could ask for less ice and less sugar because of my health needs. Vietnamese workers work inside this establishment and also speak English. Good service and thanks so much.

I love this place. I've been going here for about 2 years now, and I love their fresh fruit smoothies with boba! My favorites are strawberry, and the mango/pineapple mix. The smoothies are perfect especially on a hot day and I love getting my boba fix here! The exterior is nothing special, but don't let that detract you from visiting. I also appreciated how they have social distancing measures in place I sid

Absolutely delicious, nice workers and quiet little store. But be warned for anyone who's skittish it is in a "sketchy" area where a lot of homeless sit around the block of this plaza. The plaza itself is fenced in and they aren't loitering within so do come and enjoy a great avocado smoothie and more.!

Good size store with comfortable waiting area and tables. The tv is always playing Just For Laughs lol so not bad entertainment as you want for your juice to be made. I have stopped by here a couple times for freah fruit juice - reasonable price and they are able to acommodate ice and sugar amount! If you are in the mood for something healthy, their vegetable green juice is TOP NOTCH (and only 7.50 for a good size!). I'm be back to try their orange and red vegetable juice!

This place is the greatest! They offer so many different options for tea, smoothies, bubble tea, and even Sandwiches, keeping tabs on how much sweetness or what kind of milk you would like for your drink. (Or if you want ice!) They also use real fresh fruit! Besides the awesomest ever service, the prices are spot on and the taste is amazing no matter what you get. I can definitely say with confidence that this my go to bubble tea place every time!

The bubble tea here is so good. I love that they have fresh ingredients displayed everywhere like fresh fruit. I always go with the classic Black Tea Milk Tea with Tapioca. It is so sweet and​ refreshing. However,​ if you want to have fun they have Bubble Tea smoothies that are so delicious​​s. I have tried the Mango/ Strawberry and Banana​/Strawberry. The flavor of the smoothie is crisp and sweet. This place is one of my faves for bubble tea. Service is alright. The girls who work there are nice but very strict on the $5 minimum for a card purchase even though the tea is $4.95.

We quickly swooped by for some amazing fruit smoothies right before going to Cali. I still remember coming here after basketball games and having a super refreshing and fresh smoothie with boba. It's just so amazing how fresh the smoothies are because I feel like it's kind of hard to find that in Seattle. I always get a mixture of strawberry, pinapple, mango, and of course with boba. The portion sizes are pretty generous, and when you take that first sip... it feels like summer. I really can't stress how fresh the fruit is, and every sip is truly enjoyable. You can really enjoy the drink and each fruit individually as the drink has a perfect sweetness level to it. Also, what I found suprising is that they have some DELICIOUS boba. It might even be some of the most tasty boba I have ever had, and that's facts. The boba is just cooked perfectly and is chewy but delicate at the same time. But it's the flavor man, every single ball is coated in some sticky and luscious brown sugar and every boba is packed with flavor and sweetness. This place is for sure underrated, and is definetly my go-to place for when I want something super fresh and refreshing!

Where do I start? This place already caught my attention with the fresh fruit that greets you as you walk in. Coming by fresh fruit, let alone fresh taro, bubble tea is a must for anyone especially during the hot days! Trust when I say the flavors are 10x better!

We were picking up to-go order from Tamarind Tree and I told Cody I was going to run across the street and grab some boba for us. THE BOBA WAS KINDA AWFUL HERE THOUGH. But everything else was fantastic. So I ordered: - mango slush with boba and lychee jelly - strawberry slush with boba and lychee jelly. Whelp, there boba is flavorless and not good. I really wouldn't recommend it. Their slush though! I think it's a mix of real fruit, and using condensed milk as the sweetener, but the slush part is delicious. The lychee jelly was good too. Just wish they had better boba here.

A new boba/juice joint opened in the ID, and I went to go check the place out a few days ago. First off, I see fresh fruit at the front! That's always a good sign. The menus, food and drink, were dangling at the front. For the smoothies, you can either choose a single flavor or do a two-fruit mix, which there are designated ones, for a slightly more expensive price. The combinations were interesting to say the least. Avocado and chocolate? Hmm. Also, as a disclaimer, I am a big fan of durian and durian shakes! Yes I know what some of you haters are thinking: durian smells like (insert 4-letter expletive) and the texture is like a baby's soft poop. The spiky weapon-looking fruit is definitely an acquired taste. But don't knock it until you've tried it. If you cannot deal with the smell, the shake/smoothie version (as opposed to the actual fruit) might be a better alternative. I tried the strawberry and mango combination smoothie. Pretty fresh tasting and sweet, but you know it doesn't taste artificial as if they put some fake sweetener in it. Second, this place asks you if you want tapioca after you pay for the smoothie, so I'm guessing it's free. My thoughts on the black balls? Not the best. They were not hard but not chewy enough by any means. Maybe I have been spoiled by Young Tea's flavored bobas, but the tapioca here, just like most other places, have flavorless tapioca. Third, this place serves food like Banh Mi and wraps. There are a few tables here as well so this joint can become a good frequent hangout place if they market themselves more. In sum, nice place and always refreshing to see more of these places open up lately. I wonder why. Economy picking up perhaps? :)

Fresh fruit bubble tea! Was craving bubble tea one day but wanted something different from the regular bbt experience, happy to find that this place made fresh fruit ones! I ordered the fresh fruit Taro bubble tea and was excited to find that they make it from real Taro root! I don't know what they did to it but it tasted better than any powder ones, but as sweet and enjoyable. Especially since powdered Taro bubble tea comes out purple, it felt healthier and more authentic to drink one that had natural beigy Taro color. I also liked that they allow you to make fruit combinations, so lots of choices for my next visit!

After a filling late lunch in the International District, the college friend and kiddo were craving bubble tea and milk tea, respectively. I find this amusing since we polished off two pots of tea with lunch. Anyways, we bypassed Gossip Tea and Saigon's Bakery and Bubble Tea in the ID. We decided to check out newcomer, Bubble Tea Fresh Fruit Juice. The colorful outdoor banner was as advertised. There were refrigerated cases flanking the front counter with carefully arranged fresh fruit. This spoke volumes for the full bodied flavor from actual fruit, not dried fruit powder, blended with ice. Not a shred of wheat grass or kale nearby :) The college friend had a mango bubble tea with the signature black tapioca pearls. The kiddo had not one, but two, milk teas. I've never had a bubble tea or milk tea before this visit, which seemed like a crime at a Pacific Rim city like Seattle. But for this diehard Earl Grey tea drinker, the milk tea was very balanced and refreshing over ice. This business just opened on 5/19/15, so it'll be good to follow up later to see how consistent they remain after this 5/25/15 visit. Clean and inviting space with friendly, approachable counter service.

I'm a fan of this establishment! For quality of products of alone, I'd give it 4 stars. However, for the price of the juice that I receive, I do not wish to pay $6+ for just juice. That sounds ridiculous to me. They have mixed drink combos like kale, spinach, and apple for like $5.75. That's a great combination of fruits/veggies, however, to pay equivalent to a lunch meal seems almost unlikely I'd like to return. The positives though: amazing avocado smoothies. I'm always a sucker for a good avocado smoothie, and this one is delicious. Add some fruit jelly, and your smoothie is a done deal. That is one thing that makes it hard to stop coming here--they are super friendly, and the quality of the fruit/veggies tastes super fresh and sweet! I also like their combos with kale and spinach. I usually do something like avocado, pineapple and coconut, just avocado and coconut, or kale/spinach with avocado and something sweet like mangoes or apples. It's great to be able to make your own, just for a cost of over $6. I like the diversity of options, and the option to make a combo, however, the price is not worth it. I'd like to think that for some juice, I can go buy some fruit myself and make the same juice for cheaper. But they do give you all the juice that was blended, even if it doesn't fit your cup. They're really great about giving you everything they juiced for you. I've never had the tapioca here, so I can't speak for that. The jelly is great though, and is free, I believe with whatever drink you order. I will say they have really great fruit selections, great quality, and excellent customer service. I'd come back for a splurge maybe once in a blue moon, but otherwise this is a little pricier than coffee. Definitely recommend it to others though for consistent quality in fruit smoothies and fruit drinks!

I was waiting for a take out order from Sichuanese. I'm kind of addicted to boba so I yelped the closest, it's right across the street. I was surprised it was open since these hours said it was closed on Sunday - hours updated now! I got lavender milk tea and the drink itself tasted really sweet, like the syrupy artificial type of sweet. The boba had a nice chewy texture and wasn't over or undercooked. I'd maybe go back to try a slushie instead if I was around, but wouldn't make a trip there specifically for boba.

This new store has a good selection of fruit juices and fruit smoothies. Unlike the majority of bubble tea joints in the International District which use powder and loads of sugar, this place does in fact use fruit (fresh, hopefully) so they are already on the right track. The "fruit juices" are more natural as they are made with organic fruit and contain zero sugar. The "fruit smoothies" are also made with organic fruit but with only a small dose of sugar. Assuming these are true, I am definitely a fan. I got myself a jackfruit smoothie and it tasted amazing. Sure, you pay a couple bucks more than you do for a regular cup of bubble tea, but it is worth it for real fruit ingredients. I didn't bother with their banh mi vietnamese sandwiches - seeing as there are like 5 other vietnamese deli shops within a block away that all specialize in selling these sandwiches, I wouldn't imagine the ones here being any better. On my way out, I passed by the ChuMinh Tofu Deli next door where an adorable old lady working there noticed my drink and attempted to persuade me to try out their fresh fruit juice next time instead (only $4!). She's proven that she understands her competition, so maybe I will in fact try it out next time.. :)

BEST BUBBLE TEA SMOOTHIE IN SEATTLE! Made with real fresh fruit, and just amazing how delicious it is. I'm never disappointed. Mango coconut smoothie is my favorite. Please check them out, I have yet to find a place even close to this one.

Ambience. B Service. A Food. A Price. A Small clean store front with chairs to seat 15 people. Has tv. The girl server was very friendly. Loved that she put a lot more tapioca than other bubble tea stores. At least 2 -3 pieces with every suck! Mmm. They also serve fresh fruit tapioca. I'll try next time. I'm a fan.

I passed by this little shop and noticed that it newly opened. I was craving a refreshing drink, so I decided to see what the shop 2 was about. I ordered the mango coconut smoothie. They do use fresh fruit and what looked like Vitamixes from afar. I had no issues with the smoothie quality and taste, as I'd give it 4-stars if I had to give a rating, but what lost me and disappointed me the most was the consistency and taste of the boba. The boba/tapioca pearls that I asked for in my smoothie were probably the worst, lackluster tasting pearls that I've had, ever! They were too chewy and overcooked and weren't up to par with all the other dependable drink shops I've been too. The pearls almost tasted like someone made them at home for the first time and never knew that there's a specific consistency that they should have! It was so bad that I debated avoiding sipping up the balls; each chew reminded me of how awful was their boba! If you go here, opt for the drinks but don't add in the boba/tapioca pearls. You'll thank me later.

It's a small, humble, and unassuming mom and pop shop, but this place is the real deal. REAL. DEAL. I've been coming here for about two years. The first time I had their fresh fruit smoothie, I vowed never to return to the days of false boba. False boba = those typical milk tea/smoothie drinks made from powdered mixes. False boba is bad boba. Just say no to bad boba. THIS PLACE IS GOOD BOBA. My regular drink is the Taro/Coconut smoothie with tapioca pearls. It so good, so fresh, so tasty, that I wondered if some nefarious powdered mix might be adulterating the flavor. Could it be that good with no additives? For confirmation, I asked the owner (super nice guy) and he smiled, reached into the fridge in the back, and handed me a fat piece of real taro on a toothpick. It was refrigerated (not frozen) and I ate it, and it was good. He then spoke disparagingly of the powdered mix used by so many others and proudly emphasized that it's only real fruit that rides in their blenders. Awesome. Tip: there is some sugar added to the smoothies. I started asking for half the amount of added sugar and glad I did. The fruit flavor becomes truer this way and the overall drink becomes healthier. Unless you absolutely need to have a super sweet drink, you may want to consider asking for "less sugar." The only thing to note is that the tapioca pearls can sometimes be too hard. This has only happened a few times but it is worth mentioning. (The Papaya/Coconut fruit smoothie I am drinking as I write this has boba that is perfectly chewy and soft, so there you go) In short, this is my place of choice for fresh fruit smoothie boba drinks.
