Sweet N’ Short Tapioca Tea

Milk tea is my bestfriend!
I always come here for variety choice of milk tea, They can mix all the flavors you want that its not even on the menu (just tell them). They owners are nice, they always smile and really friendly helping you. Their flavors are good but I still like Looking for chai milktea better but since this place is way closer to my house so yeah!
They have Vietnamese snack food too. (Vietnamese sandwich, fried fish and beef balls, …)

Best bubble tea place in Everett. I always order the avocado smoothies or super crazy drink. Tapioca always being cooked to its perfection. Service is awesome, the owners here always treat us like their family. Love this place !!

This is the best place to get bubble tea (and a lot of unusual flavor and add-​in choices) in Snohomish County. The owners are also really sweet and kind. Whenever I come in with my 2 year old, they are always happy to see us and very nice to my toddler. When I got locked out of my car outside the store (locking purse/​keys/​phone and just-​purchased bubble teas INSIDE the car), they let me use their phone and let me wait with them until help arrived. Really good and inexpensive food items on the menu, too. Highly recommend.

My friend introduced me to this place and I love it! Like the other Unilocalers, I wish that I didn’t live so far away from it. The bubble tea is great and even better, the toppings! There’s a lot of variety to choose from so its nice.

Update — Short and sweet was my to-​go for Bobby tea, the ice blend is truly refreshing. They have good vietnamese banh my but like everything else the price is getting more expensive.
The thing that really turned me off is that I paid the now $ 4.60 from $ 3.50 to get the stamp towards a free drink. I forgot my point card once and asked to combine them and was strongly told no and «I don’t care of other stores do that» worst customer service ever, really made me feel disappointed after coming so many times to not have the simple courtesy.
I won’t be coming back to finish getting stamps on both cards.
Bottom line, good drinks, more expensive and don’t look for a focus on the customer.

Ordered the mango and blueberry bubble tea and was amazing! It wasn’t too sweet and the texture was perfect. Really good prices too. I’m definitely gong to be coming back to this spot! Highly recommend this to tea lovers. Cheers!

I wish I didn’t live so far from this place, because now I can’t satisfy my cravings for this place.
Every time I’m in town to visit my sister, we go here and get a bubble tea fix. They have free wifi and the place is very clean and the surrounding businesses and area they’re in is pretty quiet which is nice.
They have a wide variety of flavors and it’s SO good. I’m not even exaggerating… this place is bomb. The family who runs it is so nice and welcoming and they sell vietnamese sandwiches that’s as good as their teas.
There really isn’t that much to say about the place… You just have to try this place out for yourself. Nothing much to say, because all I can say is they’re just that good. They beat oasis in Seattle in my opinion. Much more creative and much more tasteful.

GRRRREAT bubble tea! c:
Like the previous commenter, Shannon, said, you can REALLY taste the tea flavor in their tea shake.
It’s not overly sweet, but just~ right.
I observed the surroundings, and this place is top-​notch in terms of cleanliness and decorations.
With cloud-​decorated lamps and a variety of colorful furniture, it really brings a brightness that others fail to achieve (some who strive to do so in décor, but fail in coupling it with cleanliness).
The ice cream shelf is stocked with ice cream to buy to take home and flavors to buy in a scoop if you would like. The white around the casing is stark white with no stains or anything. (I’m too detailed at this point^^ but I would really like to emphasize how much attention these people put into making it a place that is very well put-​together.)
As my mother and I approached the counter to order, the owner asked about how we came to find this place and welcomed us with a warm smile.
I could really feel the warmth in his smile. It’s heartwarming to see, actually. :)
It did not take too long and our order was ready. The owner told us it was ready and presented us with straws, and once again, a warm smile.
Perhaps I am very emotional but I really enjoy when the owners of a restaurant or the staff do little things like that. We can get our own straws but they personally give them to us.
It feels like they are sharing with us the work they put into making the bubble tea, so I really feel it.
Just go here, won’t ya? :)

A small boba shop owned by a husband and wife. They are sweet and nice people! My first time trying this place while being back home for the weekend and I went here 3 times in 1 weekend! The boba drinks are good. They use real ingredients, not powder. Service is a little slow because it takes them awhile to make the drinks and banh mi sandwiches, but it’s worth the wait because making things fresh takes time. My parents like to come here to get boba and banh mi, and will call to order ahead when they’re leaving the house so it’s ready when they get here (great idea!). I have to admit, the banh mi sandwiches are pretty good!

Hint** Dont get the avocado smoothie, my friend drank it and she feels sick after drinking it. It’s literally making her stomach upset. I think the avocado smoothies aren’t the real fruit smoothie. Kind of disappointed but Best milk tea though. Very unique milk tea flavor. I always get milk tea with custard pudding.

Very quaint little shop that’s easy to miss if you blink while driving along Everett Mall Way. Very satisifed with our Bubble Teas that we grabbed before a road trip. I love that they use real fruit and not powders. There is an absolutely overwhelming number of flavor combinations here!
I dig the atmosphere and the fact that you can kick back and relax while drinking if you’d wish. My biggest regret was not having an appetite when we went in. The food actually looked really good, but I was really intrigued by the chocolate beef jerky that was being sold. We’ll have to grab a package next time!

After being a loyal Pochi fan for many years, I have found my NEW favorite boba place. I am usually always drinking milk teas when I get boba and this lady at Sweet N Short made my drink PERFECT — not too sweet and I can actually taste the tea!!! Ahhh! I got Jasmine milk tea with taro pudding (not my fave topping but wanted to try something other than tapioca — still yummy!). Reminds me of California bubble tea. So delicious as compared to Pochi where they overload your drink with milk and sugar and can hardly taste what it is. I love that they also have different size cups unlike Pochi. So thankful that Unilocal told me about this place because it’s right next to my boyfriend’s house!
As far as interior, it’s a really cute, Asian inspired shop and I would actually do homework here on a slow day because of the big tables. I came during a Seahawks game and no one was there, obviously. There are also lots of toppings to choose from which you can see right next to the cashier (huge plus).

This place is absolutely adorable! From the family that runs it, to the color scheme of the walls, to the names of the drinks. They provide a wide variety of drinks and flavors and even some yummy Vietnamese food. I ordered the strawberry coconut smoothie with taro pudding (initially ordered tapioca, then changed it after a few minutes b/​c I’m ridiculously indecisive) which the lady was very nice about and it was fresh, sweet, and had a generous amount of the taro pudding which I loved! My friend had the super crazy drink which I thought mostly just looked cool. The «tea» in it tasted like sugar water but I liked all the toppings in it! We also tried the BBQ banh mi which was yummy! Warm, toasted bread, nicely marinated meat, and fresh veggies! Although the wait time for our drinks was longer than I liked, the owners’ sweet attitudes and satisfying drinks kept me a happy customer! Would like to return someday and try new drinks/​ice cream/​food!

They use fresh fruit, no powders! They have about 10 fruit combinations listed, but you can mix your own fruit combinations if you want. They are very accommodating! Tapioca is a bit hard though.

Instead of driving to Lynnwood to make a stop by Pochi, I have now discovered Sweet N’ Short thanks to my lady. I ordered the Super Krazy Drink and just as I imagined, it had everything I thought it had… maybe more. It’s not the best but pretty good and fun. Girlfriend ordered the watermelon and it was delish! Would come back to try other things. The lady working the counter was very nice too.

Thumbs up for the taro smoothies and the milk tea w/​pudding. I’ve tried many other bubble tea around the area, none taste as real as this one!

Cute place, cute owners, great service, and yummy drinks! Their kids are adorable too! Never been disappointed with my drinks. Their Super Crazy drink is good but I usually get milk teas. Haven’t tried their foods yet but will find a time for that later. I just wish that they open late for those late late night cravings :)

This place is simple and super cute. We were greeted by the owner I would assume and she is the sweetest lady.
I had the chocolate peanut butter and requested no bubbles, eww, it’s a texture thing for me but she put them in anyways, not a big deal, I just used a smaller straw instead of having her remake the entire drink.
My husband got the super crazy drink. It really has everything under the sun in it but he said that it was really good. The owner was heading out but was kind enough to answer questions about it and tell him some of the health benefits of some of the components to it.
I would for sure come back here.

A little far up aways, but definitely WORTH IT!
Sweet N’ Short is located in Everett in a strip mall so there is always available parking. There is a Vietnamese place next to it if you need your phở fix. I went there on a Saturday evening during a Seahawks game, and it was empty (not surprised haha).
We were greeted by a nice Vietnamese lady who I presumed is the owner. I got the Mango Milk Tea with Tapioca, and the moment I tasted the tea I could tell the place DOES NOT use powder but actual tea. Flavor was legit — the tapioca, on the other hand, contained a texture I was not really used to. It tasted like one of those Vietnamese flour desserts that I always had when growing up. That’s not a bad thing though, it’s just different.
The place is nice and clean and has an interesting color scheme. The TV was on with the Seahawks game playing.
Next time, I want to come back and try the avocado and, that’s right, pennywort smoothies. Apparently they have banh mi here as well.
Here’s a tip: the Wifi password is «wonderful». Now have a wonderful day and try some good boba at Sweet N’ Short.

Of course coming from the Bay Area and being surround by boba drinks in San Jose, it’s hard to compare. But this place was literally the only place for boba around Everett.
The boba was a little hard and their thai tea slush was a little bit on the icey side. Needless to say, I guess it’ll cure that boba craving but won’t satisfy it completely. The service was nice and fast but the boba wasn’t up to par.
