Drip Tea Seattle

the employees do not acknowledge customers and act like they hate that you’re there but great tea!! if you’re getting one of the designer drinks i’d suggest 75% or 50% sweet.

Y’all, y’all gotta try the hojicha GUYS… I had no cap the best hojicha of my LIFE when this one guy (the Hojicha God) locked in fr fr and clocked the hojicha. The hojicha banana pudding is what is up. Amen

I would rate it a 4.5/5. The tea was really nice, especially strawberry matcha boba. The place was clean, open light, and plenty of seating. Staff is very friendly. What would it take for that final 0.5 extra star? Probably better decor or more creative flavors. But overall, can't wait to come back again!

Finding parking might prove challenging. The place is clean and not bad overall. During my visit, it was fairly empty. We ordered three drinks and purchased three pins - The experience was okay, but nothing stood out significantly from other Boba places. We opted for the 75% sweet option, which was satisfactory, but ultimately, it felt like just another fancy bubble tea spot. Nothing particularly exceptional here. Price on the higher end. Total cost 3 drinks and v 3 pins for $62

This is a great bubble tea shop and is walking distance from Seattle university. There is a wide variety on the menu and most drinks have a creative twist to the original. The lines can get really long however the drinks are worth it! There is a small seating arrangement as well as a small bathroom. My only complaint is that these drinks are very pricey compared to other places.

I used to love this place but every time I've gone in recently I feel like I'm bothering the employee by placing an order. Today the girl had a table of her friends, which is great! The problem was the lack of interest in what was happening with the order and no acknowledgement until she called my drink. Thet used to greet customers, chat and be friendly, that's a thing of the past. They are also skimpy with they jellies/bobba, for the price I'd expect more. Sincerely a regular that won't be so regular

I like the bear bottle, 5$ is a bit much for plastic though. The milk tea was fine, I personally should’ve done more than standard sweet. The seating was fine and the employee was fine.

Nice small bubble tea shop in downtown Seattle a short distance walk from the Seattle University Campus. The drinks are pretty good, and they have some creative combinations in addition to the basics drinks. I like how you can order with a machine. There is a bathroom available and a decent amount of indoor seats. However, this shop sells pricey drinks compared to others bubble tea stores if you go into the suburbs.

I loved: Hokkaido Cylon Tea Taro Oreo Heard this place was a flop but I'm glad I didn't listen. Can't speak for the normal drinks but these Persona 3 Reloaded collab drinks are amazing. The boba itself is definitely on the better end. Chewy with just enough bite. Service is very normal for a boba place. They didn't take too long but weren't super quick. With all the decorations, this place was great and there was plenty of seating. I wish they had some more big group tables but I get that most people aren't bringing 10+ people in

I went during their persona tea collab. My friend loves persona and wanted me to grab some merch. It's cool that they have collabs like this. I got the cylon tea and thought the tea was pretty good. The boba is not chewy which was a bit disappointing. There is a self-order screen and another with cashier, but when I went it wasn't busy. I wanted to ask some questions, but I felt like the employees were too preoccupied making drinks for the customers before me. Parking can be hard to find around the area.

This was the boba shop in Seattle I was most excited to try, been a huge fan of their YouTube channel! I got the match maker and the lavender flavor was divine. Very fragrant floral notes and it wasn't artificial tasting at all. The drink primarily tasted like lavender milk with a slight hint of matcha. I wished that the matcha and lavender was on par with each other without one flavor overpowering the other. The interior of Drip Tea is on point! Lots of seating, plants, and a photo opp moment with their bear bottle mascot in the front of the shop. They also play kpop music videos in the background on their TV. Super cute and trendy place to bring a friend or a date after some shopping on Capitol Hill!

This boba shop has a cool vibe with "designer drinks." I got the Abloh, which was a refreshing passionfruit and mango green tea with mango bits. My friend got the Monogram, which is their classic brown sugar milk tea with boba. You order at the kiosk, and we got our drinks very quickly. The mango bits were quite difficult to suck up the straw, as some pieces were too big for the straw. I gave up on eating them after a while. There are plenty of tables and seating inside, and they have an arcade game you can play. The floating rotating sneaker on the counter is an interesting choice of decor. The drinks are pricey, but within the expected price range for a trendy boba shop.

I got the monogram and it was so good! their boba is great and the staff has been really nice

Visited this spot a while back when I was in Seattle and I really liked it! Got the Yellow Heart (left), B.F.F. (center), and the Mango Slush (right). The Yellow Heart comes with mango milk, matcha, and mango bits. B.F.F. has strawberry & lychee slush and strawberry bits. Overall, really enjoyed all three drinks. None of them were too sweet and they were all very refreshing! Customer service was also great and I got the drinks shortly after ordering them.

Great fast service. You order thru their tablet, no interactions really with the employees there. The drinks tho - many different options! And you can customize quite literally everything from the sugar, to the ice, to the tea etc. The lychee tea was honestly sweet even after I chose no sugar! The Thai milk tea was also quite good - we even put ice cream as our topping in there. Good grab and go place, but you can also sit down with your friends there to chat. The decor there is so cute!

I loved the bear brick type option for my boba as I have a few at home. I got a basic brown sugar milk tea which was pretty good, not the best I've ever had but good. It has a cool little atmosphere in there and a place to take photos if you're into that kinda thing. I would come back in the future.

There's not a single item on this menu that isn't worth ordering. I love the self ordering computer, I'm so indecisive when it comes to boba, and I love being able to customize my drink with different syrup, bobas, and jellies. The drinks come out quick, and the attention to detail always allows for a beautiful layered drink, or sweet treat. Drip Tea has a great vibe, tables and chairs to lounge around in, and they somehow always have a great playlist going. During the summer, I love being able to get soft serve here too, although, there's always room for ice cream.

Chose this place over all the other boba spots based off tik tok 'clips' and Yelp. Looked super cool compared to others, on pictures also because they had the option to do different levels of sugar, surprisingly most of the stuff was premade so the low sugar options were limited at that, didn't have the infamous bear cups available, no merch set up like videos, just wanted to do an up to date review, just a tad bit disappointed with what's advertised compared to what we actually showed you to

Located just off the busy street of Pike so very convenient! I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba at 100% sweetness. It was over $7?! I was shocked it cost that much for such a simple drink. Unfortunately, the drink wasn't even sweet enough. My friend ordered the taro oreo smoothie in the bear bottle. It was like over a $10 drink since the bottle was an additional $5. It tasted better than my milk tea so better quality. The ambiance of the place was nice! It had lots of seating and was well lit! Not sure I'd come back again because of the price but happy I got to try it!

Visiting Seattle with some relatives that are visiting from out of state, looking for a unique boba place in the area and came across Drip Tea. When you walk in you notice the airiness of the place, it's just light with decor and color with a decent amount of seating. There is a menu with unique drinks and their most unique feature - drinks in a Bear cup (for a $5 up charge). They also have a small area in the corner with some merchandise. When we came in and we were immediately greeted by staff who were ready to take our order. However, we took a few minutes to look over the menu. We ordered the Strawberry Shortcake and Taro drink in a bear cup and a lychee/mango smoothie with lychee jellies. The drinks were good, but I expected more. I ordered a combination of fruit flavors and was disappointed that it wasn't layered or able to differentiate the two flavors. Also, I was given a bamboo straw with my drink but the bear drinks got a plastic straw. I cannot do paper or bamboo straws especially since they get soggy and I'm a big texture person... so I asked for a plastic one and they refused saying I'd have to pay $5 for a bear cup and straw. So I just took the drink and got a straw from elsewhere. Overall, the bear cups were the most unique feature here and while the kids enjoyed their drinks, I was left disappointed.

If you got drip and love boba tea, check out Drip Tea! Looking to satisfy your sweet tooth? Look no further, Drip Tea has plenty of options to choose from that will keep that sweet tooth satisfied. I got the Post Melona which is honeydew (melona bar) shake + vanilla ice cream. The honeydew flavor was very delicious and the mix with vanilla ice cream makes it a tasty dessert-filled boba drink.

Drip Tea is probably the best place to go to if you're a tourist in Seattle. It's trendy, has a fun streetwear themed element, and their bear bottles are a great souvenir! Their service is always cool and friendly, and the brand they built here feels like a community. I've tried a couple of their drinks now and taste-wise they're all pretty good. I will say though that they more often then not have really sweet drinks, so I would recommend lowering your sugar level if you don't have a sweet tooth. The last few times I came in I always wanted to try their ice cream items, but for some reason they were never up and running. This was a while back now and I'm sure they're back up, but they were down for quite a while so that irked me a bit. Will probably come back to try it again. Other than that, it's a decent boba spot in Seattle and has some cool trendy aesthetics inside, worth checking out at least once while you're around.

Super nice cafe in a fun area. We went later in the afternoon so it wasn't busy at all and pretty peaceful. Everything we tried was great but our winner of the day was the Post Melona. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area looking for a cold treat.

So delicious! Got a mango peach something something with lychee jelly and it was to die for. Will definitely be going back as summer heats up! Very refreshing

A lot of the photos on Yelp are outdated and now they have a simpler menu. They focus on more teas and just the basic on milk teas. It's everything you expect a boba shop to have, and nothing stands out about this one.

Truly mediocre beverages, with oddly textured boba and bland milk teas. The store does feature hypebeast-esque collectibles and clothing for sale, though, which is unique.

Trendy tea shop. First time going to a tea shop that sells apparels. They are known for their "Designer Drinks". We got the NIGO (Mango+Peach green tea) and the BabyCat (Taro+Oreo smoothie). I guessed that BabyCat would be naturally sweet already so I customized it to be 25% sweetness, it turned out perfect. Good amount of seating. Overall, felt it was overpriced.

My fiance and I stopped here on our way to go eat and let me tell you! It was soooo good 10/10! Vibes were immaculate!

They have plenty of indoor seating. I ordered the Yellow Heart, which was matcha and mango. The drink was good with mango bits, but make sure to mix well, otherwise it's going to be too sweet. Recommendation(s): - Yellow Heart Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Accept Apple Pay - Plenty of indoor seating

Ube Sundae- rate: 9/10 Strawberry lychee slushy- rate: 10/10 Passion fruit mango green tea- rate: 7/10 It was a hot sunny day in Seattle and the strawberry lychee slushy was a MUST! It's so refreshing and delicious! The bear bottle is $5 extra. I wanted it to fill it with paper stars! The Ube was very yummy not too sweet, my parents really liked it. My sister ordered the passion fruit and it's was ok.

I recently visited the new store that DripTeaMarket Transferred to which is located half a block from Drip Tea an apparel and art store that left a lasting impression. This hidden gem not only offered a stunning collection of apparel but also featured remarkable art pieces. I was fortunate enough to acquire a Bape Shepherd Fairey art piece that truly caught my eye. What made this store even more exceptional was the Employee Taylor and owner, Paul. He was not only knowledgeable about the products but also passionate about art and fashion. Paul's enthusiasm and willingness to engage in meaningful conversations made my shopping experience enjoyable. If you're seeking a unique blend of apparel and art, I highly recommend this store. It's a testament to the dedication of people like Paul who curate such remarkable business , creating a memorable shopping adventure.

Finally tried drip tea after passing it by a couple times. I like the concept of the shop but the drinks could use a lot more work. Drinks are around $6 and if you want the bear brick bottle it's $5 extra. Babycat (taro smoothie with cookies and chocolate drizzle): smoothie had a hint of taro and was a bit watery. Seems like it's powdered taro. Flower boy (lavender lemonade with lychee jelly): the lemonade is tart and refreshing but there's no lavender flavor - only coloring. Overall a cool concept with the drink names, merch, and vibes but needs a lot more work on the drinks especially at this price point.

Their fruity drinks here are good! A solid spot worth visiting in Cap Hill. The vibe of this place is very cool and drippy.

I got the Monogram drink (touted as the #1 popular drink at this shop). The boba shop is a cool vibe, and you have the option to get your drink in the cute bear (for extra money, of course). The drink comes with 2x boba which is nice, and it was perfect level of chewy! *QQ* The milk tea was good too. However, it was expensive ($7.50+ tax) and not sure if it is worth that, so I probably wouldn't return.

Fun hypebeast location with super unique, interesting drinks. Though honestly a bit too overhyped and overly sweet. Not to say they're bad or anything, but you definitely expect more due to their creativity and they aren't anything out of this world. Rating is for having average experiences where I definitely would come back if I'm in the area but not likely to go out of my way. Drinks are 24oz and slightly pricey but not too crazy. Many drinks include toppings so the price is rather justified as a standard boba drink + toppings. Love the bear brick bottles, definitely worthy of being in your collection. Usability can be iffy because the toppings do get stuck in both legs and you will need to adjust the straw by lifting it to get over a small hump. The monogram is their take on a brown sugar boba. Babycat is a taroreo (taro + oreo) slush you'd find elsewhere. Snake Eyes is the matcha variant, Babycat is more popular though and more of a classic. I've had both and the taro is definitely stronger in flavor whereas the matcha is more laid back. Snake Eyes has more of a chocolatey taste due to the chocolate syrup overwhelming the matcha. Triple S is usually my go-to as I come here for a sweet dessert rather than boba. Big fan of crystal boba too and it's very difficult to have bad crystal boba so it works out. Regardless of how much I adjust the sugar, I find it still to be super sweet so I do treat it as more of a strawberry ice cream dessert. Honestly, not sure if they actually do adjust sugar in the recipe. I've visited numerous times for the bearyaki but unfortunately during COVID they paused on making them. I suppose it made a little sense because of the hand-off, but many other places made taiyaki treats just fine so I suspect ease played a factor.

Clean, staff is so kind and helpful. Brought me water while i studied. Truly just a pleasant space and kind people that work it. Also the chocolate viet iced coffee was delicious. Thank you!

Got the yellow heart with oat milk (mango matcha).$9.37 is a ridiculous price for one drink! The drink came out to be very well balanced and actually tasted like a mango matcha. I was worried the mango would overpower the drink it but you could still taste the matcha! It wasn't too overly sweet as well. They even use real mango bits and a vibrant matcha that made the drink even more delicious! Place is chill and can see it being popular for college students. Even though the drink was great, I would not come back due to price and convenience.

We're not from here so I've been wanting to come here for awhile. When you walk in you can see the added touch of hype as it is called drip tea. Played good music. Boba was okay wasn't anything out of the ordinary. We came 30 mins before closing so they warned us that they only had enough boba for one drink. The flavor of the drink was good. A little grossed out there was two hairs inside of my cup before they remade it. Service was good they were attentive and weren't rude or upset. They made us a new one.

the drinks were just okay, we obviously came here for the bear bottle. service was good but it can get pretty loud inside.

Definitely just came here for the aesthetic and vibes. My friends and I decided to make a stop here during our Seattle trip and we all loved the concept store aspect of it. They sold a variety of clothing, pins, stickers, figurines, etc. They served soft serve and boba. We all wanted the bear bottle which is an extra $5. I got two drinks from them: Babycat and BFF. Both with boba and both at 50% sugar and ice. 4/5- Babycat was a blended taro smoothie with oreo bits throughout the drink. I liked this one a lot because I have not tried anything like this before. I liked how it tasted, but the boba toppings were firm and did not have much flavor which is why I had to dock them down a star. 4/5- BFF- a strawberry lychee slushie. The boba toppings were also pretty hard for this drink, but the drink overall was refreshing. I would definitely get this on a sunny day. Overall, we were mostly there for the bear cup, but the drinks were just okay. It is definitely a place that you should at least try once.

Coming from California! (We know how much boba means to us) We came here on a Thursday around 830 pm. Lots of people and plenty of chairs to sit and lounge around. I really liked the concept of their store! They have merchandise, pins, shoes, and other cute stuff to buy from! A lot of art work as well. I also like their lighting in the store. Ordered the Monnogram (own version of brown sugar milk tea, was told was their #1 seller) and Baby cat (which is their taro slush with oreo bits). SO GOOD! Would recommend to try tbh. A little disappointed because the first time we got the monnogram we found two pieces of hair... i get easily icked with hair. But they were nice enough to refund both our drinks! Not a lot of places do that. We appreciate it!

This was my first time coming to drip tea and I was pleasantly surprised with how spacious, clean , and esthetic this place was ! When you enter there is a place for pictures and they do allow inside seating! My Friend and I decided to try the snake eyes and strawberry lemonade drink in the teddy bear cup! It is 5 dollars more for the cup but it is really cute and big! I think it was unique and stood out for sure! Next time I come back to Seattle I wanna visit again!

My bf and I got the mango fruit tea (using black tea) with crystal boba and the Tiger Sugar Soft Serve. I loved the mango fruit tea coz it tastes like legit tea and is just mildly sweet. I don't like it when places use tea flavors! The Tiger Sugar soft serve was delicious! The boba was still very soft and chewy. The pocky topping was a nice addition for some texture. My friends got the Triple S and the Fear of POG and they said both drinks are good! This is a cute boba place in Cap Hill. I love the variety of drinks they offer. They also sell some shirts and other merchandise that are boba-related. I'd love to try the bearyaki next time! It's a play on taiyaki, which is a fish-shaped waffle that usually has a filling. At Drip Tea, they serve it with soft serve. I wanted to get that but they were already out when we got there.

Cool spot, attentive service and delicious boba tea! A great spot to swing by for a sweet treat on Capitol Hill!

Comfortable place, I really liked my boba, they ask you for the porcentaje of sugar wich is super good, and everything looks clean. I lived the presentation so extra point Being super honest the customer service was not 10/10 but they were polite so it's ok.

Super cute boba shop with really good drinks and soft serve! They have nice bear bottles that are super picturesque and they also sell clothes if you're interested in buying clothes at the same time as boba (which is a bit weird but you do you). This is definitely one of my favorite places to get boba in Seattle! It's a bit pricey but the drinks taste really good and the flavors are really balanced. The boba here is nice and chewy and none of the drinks are too sweet. My favorite drinks are probably the heart eyes and the yellow heart (matcha, milk, and either strawberry or mango). The drink is refreshing and creamy from the milk and the matcha and fruit create a great balance of earthiness, bitterness, sweetness, and fruitiness. All of the flavors go really well together and nothing overpowers the other! The soft serve here is really good too. It's super creamy and doesn't have any granules of ice. I really like the tiger boba soft serve because the black sugar adds a nice caramel flavor and a bit more sweetness to the soft serve. The boba adds a chewiness which contrasts really well with the creaminess of the soft serve.

meh, they've raised the prices a lot, it's $7 for their basic milk teas WITHOUT toppings. With boba, tax, and tip that's a $10 drink - more if you get one of their specialty drinks. not worth it to me anymore, i know inflation has caused everything everywhere to be more expensive but that's like $1-2 more than base prices at other boba shops in the area. flavor-wise the drinks are fine, my wintermelon milk tea could have been more flavorful even with the full sugar. in the past, a lot of their other drinks i've tried were definitely on the sweeter side. on the plus side it's a convenient location, inside space is nice place to chill, extensive menu, and their ube soft serve is good.

I asked my friend to take me to his favorite local boba shop and he drove me here! We both got Thai teas and loved it. I also really liked the decor, the t shirt designs, and the arcade game. We didn't play but I still felt like I was in a very cool spot.

Something new & good variety of drinks. Plenty of options to choose from that it gets overwhelming cuhs everything just sounds good! Lol. Recommend, recommend, recommend. We also stopped by their sister store clothing store which was where my little brother wanted to stop by. Super expensive but I guess you gotta pay to play. Lol. Vintage & unique pieces. My little brother spent like $700 there on like 4 clothing pieces. We went back the next day for a ring he wanted for another few hundred bucks. The staff was younger, but easy to speak to & professional.

I know of Drip Tea because of their iconic bear bottles. I had asked my friend where this boba shop was after seeing him with a bottle. When we had the chance, we stopped by Drip Tea. My boyfriend got the monogram while I had ordered the heart eyes. My drink has cost around $7. I loved how the heart eyes drink came out, as the layers were clear and distinct. Note: make sure to mix it up before drinking! I was pleasantly surprised by my first sip. The strawberry chunks and juice added a nice tartness to the matcha milk portion. The flavors also balanced each other well. All in all, while I did enjoy my drink, it was hard to look past the price of $7, which is on the more expensive side for boba.

I had my heart set on a Bearyaki with Ube swirl. Looking at their photos it kind of looks like a soft serve spot but it's a delicious boba tea spot (hence the tea in the name) and their tea menu is very impressive! Take a good look at their menu before making a choice because there are a lot of good unique options. When I came in in the afternoon on a Saturday they were out of Bearyaki. I still went with the ube soft swirl and it's a perfect combo. Just the right amount of sweetness and I was done with mine before my husband was even halfway done with his. He got the strawberry shortcake soft serve and was really enjoying his peacefully. We loved our choices and would love to come back for boba tea!

Got the BFF drink with 75% sweetness. Was good! Liked the strawberry chunks and flavor. The drinks were super aesthetic also

Pricey for the mid drinks you get. Store has a cool layout. Cashiers seem like they hate their job, very boring faces. RBF lol

Pretty refreshing drinks and a nice vibe! The little arcade is a nice touch. And I like the chill interior with clothing section too. I would just say the only offset was drinks are quite pricey! Almost 20 for two drinks

Had to waste some time before a tattoo about a block away and had spotted Drip Tea a few weeks before but couldn't have any caffeine cause I was going to a sleep study. So decided to give it a try this time. Went with the Fear of POG I'm a big passionfruit person. Appreciated the person at the counter saying it could be on the sweet side and suggested 25% less sweet I probably would've even went with 50%. I lean towards fruit tea more than milk teas. They seem to have a steady stream of customers for about 2:30 in the afternoon. Enjoyed my drink quietly till about 15 middle schoolers came in and it got a little too noisy and crowded for my comfort. But glad to see them so busy during covid. Cute space lots of Instagram worthy spaces for pics. They have a good variety on their menu and serve soft serve as well.

Drip tea is an upscale boba shop with "hype" inspiration. Their drinks are named after cultural streetwear icons and artists but maintain the essence of quality ingredients and tea. During my visit, I ordered the "heart eyes," essentially a strawberry matcha latte. The strawberry matcha latte was very good and I loved the use of the house made strawberry milk as I felt that added that extra strawberry flavor and sweetness to balance the matcha. Drip tea also offers its drinks in a bearbrick style cup for an extra charge in keeping with its streetwear theme. If your need for streetwear, sneakers, and hype culture wasn't satisfied by the drinks, check out their actual sneaker and clothing store just up the street. Visit Drip Tea if you're looking for streetwear culturally inspired drinks with Instagram charm!
