The Best Boba Tea in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"This Chophouse Row boba shop (with a Redmond outpost) carries a wide assortment of drinks, ranging from milk teas to yogurt smoothies. Its black milk tea sets itself apart from competitors with the usage of orange pekoe leaves, giving the drink a colorful tinge and tangy, bold flavor. The toasts are excellent as well, filled with cheese and boba or taro paste and pork floss. Available for pickup via the website or delivery." - Ryan Lee

Cute boba place in the heart of Redmond downtown. Has to be my favorite one in the area. Grab a taro milk tea and yap kinda vibe.

I've visited this bubble tea shop many times before, but today was my first time back this year. First, we noticed that they raised their prices. Then, the speed of making the drinks was incredibly slow. And last but not least, the amount of pearls in my drink was significantly less than usual! I’m still shocked and can't believe it. I probably won't be returning to this store for a long time.

I had the Dirty Milk Boba. The drink was a little below average in my opinion. The sugary taste was quite overpowering and left a strong aftertaste. We also had to wait quite a while to receive our drink since there was only one person working at the moment, and she seemed quite occupied trying to fulfill everyone’s order. I’d like to try the traditional milk tea, but again I wasn’t the biggest fan of the dirty milk tea. The setting was very nice, though!

Happy to see another boba option opened up in the area. Self ordering kiosk was easy to use. You will get a text when your order is ready. Or if you stay inside the store, you can check the status of your order on the screen. Seating area is cute and clean. Drinks were good and not too sweet. I will definitely stop by again to try other items on the menu.

The drinks are really sweet. We ordered the grapefruit passion tea (30% sugar) and the MEETEA family milk tea (50% ice and 30% sugar). Even though we only ordered 30% sugar, it still tasted like 100% sugar. The MEETEA family milk tea had a lot of toppings…maybe even a little too much…. The shop is nice and designed well though.

I loved this place as it’s quite affordable not to mention delicious. I ordered the power lychee tea, matcha latte, and taro milk tea with coconut jelly. I loved all three of them. The only downside in my eyes is that there is no parking and it’s located right next to the street but with a little planning I’m sure boba lovers would love this little place. As other reviewers have mentioned, their drinks tend to be on the sweeter side but I personally enjoy that and I was satisfied by the sweetness.

Cute place. They can split an order into two smaller ones. They even allowed us to choose different toppings for each half. I love that you can choose your sugar level starting at 0%. My kid loves it.

Don’t waste your money & time here. The matcha is so light green, you just basically drinking milk. The milk tea is already premade with soy milk, what if your customers don’t like soy milk. Everything is made from powder. How do I know, the drink was made in the front. And it’s too late to get out, I already paid.

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #80 After a poor boba experience at the Capitol Hill location, I wasn't expecting much out of Meetea Cafe in Redmond. Still, since this is the only non-chain boba shop in Redmond, and I was in the area for an event, I decided to give it a chance. The menu at this location is a bit different, since it doesn't allow tea selection for the milk tea at the kiosk. There are two kiosks even though I doubt this place gets too busy, given that it was just after lunch at 1PM on a Sunday, and there was only one other party inside. Boba Milk Tea, 30% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - The milk tea is a very pleasing almost orangish color that's actually quite a fragrant, tasting more similar to a Ceylon than an Assam that most other boba shops use. There's a caramelized milky sweetness to the drink, like they use pure condensed milk as a sweetener. It all combines together to give vaguely Hong Kong-style milk tea notes. At 30% sweet, it's pleasingly only slightly sweet, much better than the harsh sweetness at 50% from the other location. Note this drink comes with boba by default, but I wasn't paying attention and ended up adding additional boba (adds 75 cents). At least, I think there was an additional order in the cup, given that it seemed to be a larger amount of boba than is usual. The boba is surprisingly pretty good. While the pearls are smooth, not that sweet, and are a bit inconsistent in size, they have a surprisingly good bounce and the chew is quite good, albeit a tiny bit on the firm side. Overall much better than what I received on Capitol Hill. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 I was really surprised at the quality of the drink I received at this Meetea location. I would happily return for boba any time I'm in Redmond. Bathrooms - One unisex room

I came here around 8:30 to get some boba with my friends but they were out of boba! That's fine, I like lychee as well. Look at the photo, I work at a boba place as well and the lady could not even give me a full scoop of lychee jelly... how stingy can you be.. you can barely see the amount she even gave me... On top of that, when I ordered my drink, iced green tea with creama and lychee jelly, she handed me the wrong drink, just a regular green milk tea with lychee jelly and when I asked her about to she replied in a bit of a snarky way saying that's the drink I ordered even when it literally says in my receipt what I had ordered. Perhaps this is why she was really stingy with my toppings, but I don't think I was in the wrong... Although this is only one bad experience out of multiple good experiences, I don't think I'd risk coming here again especially when boba prices have been increasing...

Service is very helpful. They help provide options to try and let you know even before you start ordering if they are out of certain ingredients. The tea actually tastes like tea rather than powder. The drinks aren't too sweet. 0% sugar is actually 0 and will be bitter. I get 30% sweet and it still doesn't taste like a sweet drink, which I like.

This place was decent - a clean atmosphere and good location. We ordered via the kiosk as intended but also didn't receive much acknowledgement from the staff. Our tea was good, great texture boba and not too sweet, but it did take a surprisingly long time to get, given there were only a few drinks in front of ours. A solid drink, just longer wait times and neutral staff experience.

So I saw a lot of reviews about that place and I was very excited where I was going to this place. Unfortunately my experience was not good as I expected. My drink wasn't like on the picture on the menu and I was really confused about that. Cus on the picture you see the one drink but you got the opposite one so it was not good. Another thing is that the service was kind of slow? Like my drink was really only in another 15 minutes which is kind of slow. Also I think the lady didn't even know what was the ingredient for my drink and when I asked her like a simple question she was really struggling to answer. So yeah the tea was not that bad but my experience was really bad.

I got Boba Green Milk Tea with Creama, which was just right. It's $7, which is a bit cheaper than most boba places. The girl who was working on a Saturday by herself was very nice.

After a fun sushi night, my friends and I were craving something sweet to wrap it up. We rolled into Meet-Tea around 8 PM, hoping for some good vibes and great boba. Instead, we got attitude and awkward energy from the guy working the counter -- glasses, tattoos, and an overwhelming sense of "I don't want to be here." The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a passive-aggressive "Always at the last hour," like we were a burden just for existing. Not the warm welcome you'd expect from someone being paid to do, well, customer service. We tried to lighten the mood and asked him what his favorite drink was. His reply? "They're the ones with stars on the menu," in an annoyed tone. Cool, but we asked you, not the screen. It didn't stop there -- more dismissive comments like "typical," and even a sudden profanity-laced rant that came out of nowhere. My friends and I just stood there blinking, unsure if we were on a hidden camera show. To top it off, another customer came in who had ordered online, and the employee tried to speak Chinese to them -- even though they were clearly speaking English -- and seemed annoyed when they didn't respond in kind. Look, we're pretty chill people. But this guy managed to take a simple boba run and turn it into an uncomfortable, weird interaction none of us want to repeat. If you hate working the late shift, that's valid -- but please don't take it out on the people keeping the lights on. We won't be back, and we definitely won't be recommending this place to anyone. Here's hoping the guy finds a job (and some peace) that better suits him -- maybe with fewer customers.

All three fruit teas were quite watery and barely had tea flavor. Orange tea - tasted like watered down orange juice with pulp Grapefruit passion tea - was missing the passion fruit as far as we could tell. The worst of the three - mostly tasted like water with grapefruit pulp. Power lychee tea - tasted like watered down lychee juice, with some lychee pulp. Very faint tea flavor. Service - order from tablet or directly with cashier. But there were only 2 drinks ahead of us and one online order, but it took 25 minutes to get our drinks?

Found this cute little Boba shop on a walk with my dog. Very cute sitting area with a lot of light. Very cute for a coffee date. Amazing customer service, fast and speedy. He was very sweet and even offered my dog a treat. They have a lot of different options, milk teas, regular fruit teas and slushy. They also have breakfast sandwiches and little pastries. I got a mango passion tea with 30% sugar. I really liked it a lot! They do use fruit cause it was a bit on the sweet side for me, plus I got chunks of passion fruit and mango. Not a lot but a good amount. Next time I will do 0% and let the fruit sweeten it.

Parking is not the easiest since it's street parking but if come during non-rush hour, it's not hard to find. The store is relatively small, but there's space for seating if you decide to sit inside. We ordered the black sesame slush and I got it at 30 percent sugar. It was sooooo good. I love black sesame and they definitely did such a good job with the drink. I haven't tried anything else, so I can't comment on their boba and milk tea. But if you like black sesame, definitely try out their slush

Cute little boba spot across from redmond park. All orders are placed on tablets which I don't always prefer as it results in little to no human interaction but, if that's your jam this is your spot I ordered the taro milk tea with boba, definitely hit the spot and I also enjoyed their packaging with rounded bottom cups. Price point is comparable to your chain boba places such as sharetea or happy lemon. If you're in the area or headed to the park, solid boba spot to get your fix

Been going to Meetea for the past 2 years. The food there is minimal, more like sweet treats. The drinks there are great, and so is the comfy modern ambiance. I will say however, that the prices and service could be better. The prices have gone up quite a bit over the past year, and the employees change quite a bit, meaning that they may not like their work and/or may not be paid enough to care as the service can be quite stale, but I understand since I am a minimum wage worker myself. Will I come here again? There's a chance since I live nearby and the drinks are good. Would I recommend it? Eh, maybe.

We stopped by when we saw the grand opening sign. They clearly still have some kinks to work out but service was great and super friendly. I ordered a taro tea with Boba but wanted it blended and even though it wasn't on the menu they made it for me. Menu had some interesting options that I have never heard of before so ordering was a bit confusing but we enjoyed what we got.will have to come back to test out the rest

Meetea Cafe was recommended to me by a few friends of mine who constantly insisted on me trying it. I tried their classic milk tea w/ popping boba, which was a HUGE mistake as you should not pair popping boba with a milk tea. The second time I got their Taro Milk Tea w/ Purple Rice but I was still slightly disappointed. The third time, I tried a different approach and got their Power Lychee Tea w/ Popping Boba and Cheese Creama. Honestly... that drink was AMAZING. It was the best boba I had tried from a spot that wasn't Bobae Coffee & Tea in a long time. My advice: Get their Fruit Teas rather than their Milk Teas and try their cheese toasts. Service was average, not bad, not outstanding. Ambience was good for a bubble tea spot though, comfortable seating with plush pillows, making it welcoming for customers. The only bubble tea spot I would say has a better ambience would be Don't Yell At Me, but ambience was quite satisfactory. Something I really like on their website is their menu design as it is really appealing and a decently large size. Overall, I am giving Meetea Cafe a 4-star instead of a 5-star because it can still do better.

I visited in Oct 2019, so the menu and experience may differ now. When I tried it, the boba was average to below average. Which is fine but there are multiple Taiwanese boba franchises in Redmond now so it's difficult to justify choosing them when Happy Lemon, YiFang, and ShareTea are a few blocks away. The part that left me confused about their authenticity was their 1. boba toast food offerings and 2. milk based desserts. I'm a firm believer in attempting new desserts with boba but this boba toast wasn't it. It made no sense to add boba to warmed up bread and it obviously isn't worth the price. Not pictured but we also tried a milk based dessert that was served in a bowl with some classic taro balls or rice balls in it. Very confusing since the base was literally just unflavored lukewarm milk, usually such desserts are served in a mango purée, purple rice, or coconut milk. Seems like consumers in the greater Seattle area are aware of what good Asian desserts should be like and yet they presented the worst version of them. Service was a little slow but friendly, back in 2019 they had just opened. The decor resembled an upscale tea room, all white everything. If you ever see boba toast at a boba place-- run.

Was looking to have a good cold boba around the place and this was the only cafe open at that time so we visited. Parking is on the street only. Nice sitting space inside good for small as well as big groups. Seeing the worn off face of the barista I ordered:- Taro Milk Tea:- With 50% sweetness, I knew I wont be getting a good boba topping so I did not even ask for it. The drink tasted of taro flavored water. Was milk even added? Wouldn't have come here seeing the reviews, wish businesses would close a little later so the options are not such.

Such a cute place! The staff was so friendly. They helped us pick an order and their suggestions were perfect for what we were looking for. The interior is nicely decorated and has comfortable seating. We ordered a Mango and Grapefruit Slush both at 50% sugar and it was the right amount. If you don't like it too sweet I would go 30% sugar. Overall happy with the experience!

One of the most comfortable Boba locations in Redmond. 3 mins from the town center sits this small shop next to 162ten apartments with outstanding staff enjoyable beverages and amazing macarons. A helpful staff member named Nikhil welcomed me in and gave an amazing experience. Will definitely return for future visits.

Meetea you've got my attention. I enjoyed trying some new bubble tea here, they have unique flavors, and it is a order yourself type of iPad situation. I would recommend trying the toast dessert they offer, while it is a little bit pricier for a simple piece of bread dessert, it did taste good and it was not too sweet and really enjoyable. You can customize what percentage of sweetness you want on their drinks, and the drinks are made quickly. Definitely a new spot to visit in the future.

Stopped by after dinner with a friend and we wanted something sweet. The location is pretty clean and when you walk in there are Ipads where you place your order when you are ready. They do have some seating inside but with COVID you should make sure if they are allowing seating when you go. Otherwise, you will have to do takeout. My friend ordered the Avocado smoothie and I ordered the Mango Slush. They were both really good and it wasn't too sweet like some places are. You can also choose the amount of sweetness you want. I have noticed that a lot of bubble tea places are starting to do that as well. We highly recommend Meetea Cafe. We'll definitely be back.

If it wasn't for Yelp, I may never have discovered Meetea Cafe in Redmond. It is on the first floor of the Ravello apartment complex in a corner that is easy to miss if you're not actively looking for it. Despite its covert location, four other customers visited at the same time as us on a Friday at 2:30... an ideal time for afternoon tea! Upon entering, we stepped up to a self-ordering kiosk and selected a Boba Milk Tea, Green Tea Cheese Creama, Cheese Red Bean Toast and Taro Sauce + Pork Floss Toast. There are only two kiosks, so the entrance can get pretty congested as the café is already on the smaller end with just a few tables and counter seating. The ordering process also minimizes interaction with the staff which felt a bit odd. When your order is ready, an automated voice calls your number to pick it up at the counter. While fairly efficient, atmosphere of this tea shop didn't give me the warm fuzzies. With our drinks and toasts in tow, we headed back to our car and dug into our toasts first. Both consisted of toasted white bread pressed together like a panini with a scoop of filling in the middle. We weren't huge fans of either toast, but between the two, I preferred the one with pork floss. The fluffy pork floss was slightly sweet and salty which paired well with the sweet and nutty taro sauce on top. The cheese red bean toast was extremely messy and they used whole beans which were pretty bland. A red bean paste would have been way better. The cheese aspect of the filling tasted like a cheesecake, but it was super thin and kept spilling out of the bread. As for my Green Tea Cheese Creama ($4.50 + $0.50 boba), it was quite strong at first sip. The combination of 50% ice and 0% sugar was great as the boba was already sweetened as well. At most places, tea with a cheese cap is typically served with a lid that has a sip opening. However, Meetea uses the plastic film covering for all drinks, so I vigorously stirred in all the cream to ensure it wouldn't be the only thing left in my cup once I finished the tea. My companion found her Boba Milk Tea ($4.50) disappointing as it tasted mainly of milk and the tea was very weak. We both thought the boba had a nice chew, but noticed that it was slightly hard in the center, so it may have been a bit undercooked. We would return in the future to give their drinks another try, but do not consider the toasts worth ordering again.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon when it was empty. Took a good 20 minutes to get our order of 2 drinks and 4 toasts. The kids found their ham and cheese toasts to be hard to eat and when I checked, the hard, waxy "casing" - like what you get on sausages was still on the ham I mean... come on... on both toasts! The cheese and red bean toast did not have cheese in it. The "cheese" was some soupy white sauce thing - maybe milk? It was so runny, it overflowed and dripped all over the floor after I took my first bite. Was expecting something more cheesy. Same thing for the taro sauce with pork floss. Drinks were not bad though, so I suggest sticking with the drinks if you're going to try this place.

I just discovered this bubble tea place yesterday and have been there twice already! As a self-proclaimed boba snob (lol), it's so good that this just might be my new all-time favorite! So far I've tried three drinks, the grapefruit slush, the strawberry lychee slush and the coconut milk with sago and purple rice. All three are winners! The grapefruit slush was very bright and refreshing, and it came loaded with pulp! I ordered half sweet, so it was tart but in a good way. I don't like too sweet, but this one seems safe to do at full sugar. The strawberry lychee was outstanding at half and full sweet. To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference between the levels, but I had them a day a part, so you can't go wrong! The coconut milk drink was perfect also. The add ins really gave it a nice texture and it wasn't too sweet of artificial like other coconut drinks from elsewhere can be. Really liked this a lot as well. For both slushes, I asked to substitute purple rice as the add in. While I love boba, I love purple rice even more. As their staff advised me, I selected a topping on their order system and then wrote in the notes that I wanted purple rice. I also told the staff their as well in case they didn't see. This really made the drinks perfect. Meetea, I hope you will add in purple rice as an option in your system for all your drinks, that's my only flag. Other than that, I'll be back, a lot. Probably a scary number of times, if I'm honest with myself!

Wanted some boba after dinner so found this place on Yelp. I don't see a lot of places with purple rice so decided to try it out. Purple rice green milk tea - the green milk tea was so bitter. I think the batch of the green tea was old. I was extremely disappointed. I ordered a 16oz but the cashier charged me for a 20oz so I ended up getting 20oz of bitter tea. Purple rice was good but that was it. Taro milk tea - the taro milk tea was what you'd expect at a quickly's or tapioca express but still better than the purple rice green milk tea. The boba was overcooked and super gooey.

The service is incredibly slow, even with pre-orders. The food and drinks are below average. You can't sit and wait comfortably for your order because the staff tends to stare, making you feel uneasy. There are better options for boba nearby.

It appears the quality has been consistently going downhill during our recent visits. A month ago, the family meetea did not meet expectations. Something was a bit off, and one of the ingredients was not fresh. As the result, I didn't enjoy my tea. So, this time, I chose something else. Today, we visited again and 2 of the 3 teas are ok. The lychee tea with popping boba is disappointing. We asked the barista because there was hardly any topping. We were told 1 scoop is the standard. This is not what the manager told us before. When we put 2 drinks side by side, it looks very obvious the difference of the toppings between 1 drink and another.

I was running errands in the area and discovered this place on Yelp. Very unassuming place since it's a small shop on the ground floor of an apartment building. Parking is basically street parking or the bank across the street on weekends. The slots are small so be aware. I liked the decor of the place. It's warm and simple. Ordering is done on a kiosk and the interface is pretty simple and easy to navigate. The prices are on par with other shops of this type for the bubble tea. The food items were a bit pricey for what you get. These types are shops are fairly common so it's important for them to stand out to be a place to go to unless you're a local and just loyal to the shop that's near by. That being said, I was underwhelmed. It's not a shop that I would drive out to go to. The smoothies that we had lacked flavor. Granted I lowered the sugar level as I typically do and maybe next time I'll try it at 100% sugar level to see if it's better. But it just lacked flavor in general. They didn't taste bad at all but they were just meh. The "toast" was really got my attention to try the place. Seeing other yelpers post pics got me interested. Let's start by saying, it's toast. They use franz bread so that part of it is just whatever but the filling is what makes them stand out. We had the cheese purple rice toast. Texture was great. I'm a sucker for the cheese pull factor. The outside layer had a nice crunch. The flavor of the filling was good but not amazing. Above average but again not anything I would go out of my way to have. Overall I may go back if I'm in the area and worth a try if you're craving something like this while visiting. There is a nice park across the street so that may be something to consider while hanging out with your family.

The vibe of the place upon first going in is so cozy and sweet. I've had a couple of drinks and the there is just SO MUCH variety. The workers are quick and very sweet. My favorite boba place by far.

Not gonna lie, I don't usually write reviews, but I just had to for this one. By far, the best experience I've had a boba place. Nikhil was very friendly & the perfectly warm thai tea boba was exactly what I needed on a cold day like today. Great space to do some work & hangout. I'm recommending to all my friends

If I had a negative rating I would select for the business. My teenager daughter and her out of town teen friend went to Meetea for Boba. Her friend is extremely allergic but well educated on what to eat/drink or not. She never had a severe episode since she was 3 yrs. old. They asked about the ingredients and informed them of the allergies. She specifically asked about risk of cross contamination and was assured that was not an issue. The bowl she orders had peanuts as optional ingredient - and she included no peanuts in the written order. They served her not a contaminated bowl, but one with actual peanuts inside!!!! After the first spoon she had an extrem reaction and was provided with no assistance. My daughter called me for help and I was able to get them both on an Uber to get home and use an EpiPen. But the real issue is how they handled it after. I called the business to ensure management was aware and invest on proper education for the staff to avoid similar events. I was able to address it in a timely manner, but it can cost someone's life. The individual handling the call was clearly junior and close to rude. Note that I made clear that my ONLY intention is to talk to a manager to ensure proper education was provided to employees on allergies. The individual informed that no manager was present, and someone could call me later. I left my phone number. Few days passed and no call back. I called again after few days and talked to someone else. A very polite person that told me she could not find any notes from my previous call - but assured me she would communicate with the manager - that apparently comes just once a week. Few days passed and "the manager" called me. I was at work and missed the call. I immediately called back. No answer. Called back at least 3 times - left voice messages - no answer no call back. This was in JUNE! Summer is over and I still did not hear back from the business on such important topic. This means to me that they really don't care and have no respect for their customers.

This is probably my favorite dessert place in Redmond right now. It has a potential for 5 star in my opinion but there's definitely room for improvement. I came here 3 times in the past week and it has been inconsistent: 1st visit: the server was really nice and helpful. He spent about 5-10 minutes helping us familiarize the menu and making suggestions and stuff. However, when we made our order, he realized that they were out of everything we wanted...so I didn't get anything and left pretty disappointed. 2nd visit: came here late and was able to order the boba toast as well as the coconut latte with purple rice. Everything was delicious and service was fast. The boba toast was super yummy and flavorful. The drink was smooth, not too overpowered by the coconut and the purple rice was a nice touch. 3rd visit: we decided to try the pork floss toast with taro sauce and the ginger with brown sugar latte. The pork floss toast was ok, it would have been better if there was more filling inside. You barely get the pork floss, mostly the taro sauce. The drink was good, not too much ginger but enough. Service wasn't as good today, they were slow and they probably try to make our order fast because we were waiting so it wasn't up to par. Price and quality is standard. Overall though, definitely would come back again to try other things on the menu

Perfect spot to pop in for boba! They're always super friendly and my go to has been the lychee slush!

2nd time ordering from here and still not impressed with what they offer here. The taro bowl is really a joke where the handmade taro ball doesn't taste like anything and there's just a weird coconut milk taste. Their tea smells great but the toppings are mediocre: bobas are hard, egg puddings don't have that egg flavor, and grass jelly doesn't have that herbal taste. The only thing good here is the price (5.50 for a drink with 5 toppings) but that's it!

This place has a cute interior and I love their logo but I feel like it was alright. I haven't tried their boba yet but I got the milk bowl, and while they offer many toppings like at MeetFresh (no affiliation), I feel like they did not give nearly as many toppings (although it is cheaper). The milk has a light coconut flavor to it I think, and overall still pretty tasty.

nvm. i thought this place was just like a "ok it's mid but at least it scratches the boba itch," but that's not true. it's mid-bad. not just a B but a C+. i've either had drinks/food here that's "i guess this is acceptable" or "oh this is not good actually." i'm tired of being in denial. i'm sad that this place is so close to my house but it's so mid. i'm grieving. leave me alone
