Unique waffle, disappointing tea
My experience included trying the Oreo bubble waffle, which was pretty good and unique. I also ordered the mango fruit tea with crystal mango boba, 50% sugar. Unfortunately, I ended up throwing the tea away.
Having had a lot of bubble tea, this was probably one of the worst because you couldn’t actually taste any tea and it was mostly syrup.

Disappointing Blandness and Watery Drinks
I tried to get something new, but it was so bland, omg. The puff cream was only sweet. "Strawberry Shortcake" is supposed to be sweet.
The smoothie was very watery and not sweet at all, omg. I usually love them but was sooo disappointed : (Last time, I had to ask to remake my normal boba order because it wasn't sweet too. I don't know what's going on recently.

Highly Recommend B2 Black Tea!
I highly recommend the B2-black tea w/ salted cheese. I enjoyed it with 30% sugar and 50% ice. It's a nice shop to visit and is from Taiwan!

Glossy Waffles, Mixed Matcha
My experience at the restaurant involved trying their bubble waffles, which were described as glossy in a plasticky way, making me want to eat them. I found their Oreo waffle to be their best waffle. However, the matcha waffle was pretty bitter, though this might appeal to some.
I did not order drinks during this visit.

Extremely Disappointed with Staff Hygiene
I was extremely disappointed with my experience. While preparing my smoothie, a staff member, an Asian man, used his bare hand to touch the inner flesh of the avocado. This was a significant concern regarding hygiene and food preparation.

Boba Order Mistakes
My experience at the restaurant involved a significant issue with my order. I ordered with boba, but they forgot to add boba twice. I would advise them to please make sure to read the order details carefully.

Sweet Boba Waffles and Milk Teas
My experience at this restaurant was primarily focused on their dessert offerings. You can smell the place before you see it, thanks to a delicious waffle aroma. It's more of a snack or dessert situation, but they have delicious options like boba waffles and milk teas.
I ordered the 1/2 sugar boba milk and still found it extremely sweet, so be mindful of that.

Perfect Traditional Boba Flavor
Despite being a chain, HL has perfected their craft, at least with their traditional boba. It continues to be my favorite boba shop for flavor.

Mixed Feelings on First Visit
My first visit to this boba spot, which is always packed, left me expecting something outstanding. However, I couldn't even finish my tea as it was just sugar and nothing special. I decided to give it another try and ordered a recommended item: black tea with taro balls.
The cashier's suggestion of 0–30% sugar, given the taro balls are already sweetened, was a great call. The tea was good, but considering the price, I believe there are better options nearby. The bubble waffle was tasty.
I just wish the space was more inviting; it feels a bit plain, and the heater was uncomfortably high.

Great Drinks and Roomy Space
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. It's one of the closest places to me, and compared to Moo bar, it offers better pricing, especially considering the tall drinks. The shop is very roomy, with additional seating on the outside.
It's conveniently located in an Amazon center. Every visit has been met with quality service, and the quality of the drinks is even better. My only minor complaint is the lack of popping boba, but I haven't found that anywhere in Seattle yet.
