Bobalicious

Again, I am shocked with the reviews. I love this place, well for the 2 things I always order. So for this review, its only about the honeydew milktea and strawberry mango milktea.
First off, I love love love honeydew. So honeydew milktea? I am in love! My problem was finding a place that made it to my liking and this place was and currently only place that pleases me. It’s perfect, consistency down to sweetness.
I guess the only issue I really have with this place is that the service is kind of slow but hey, it is in the mall.

Was at the mall jewelry shopping, and the little sister wanted bubble tea. So we stopped by here, and it seems nice from afar, but once you get closer and see the appliances they use to make the bubble tea, you realize that they don’t know what they are doing!!. The drinks were mediocre. Definitely not coming back here.

yummy :)

i NEVER order SLUSHY bubble tea. I always get milk tea, and while today was pretty cold, I also ordered it HOT.
I was honestly pretty impressed with the place. The guy was super patient with my friend and I. Tons of options to choose from, the tapioca was ON POINT, and the flavor was just right. I ordered the Lavender Milk Tea, and although the service was a little slow, it must have made the drink taste THAT much better.
Only downside? My drink cost over $ 4 for I believe an averaged 16oz drink. Not GREAT, but doable.

I recently had a strawberry milk tea slushy at this place … it was awesome. I have never tasted milk tea like this before. milk tea in slushy form taste much better than the liquid one … I love it so much .but the tapioca is not good at all. it was still frozen and very hard to bite. really weird texture …

Is this forreal? Honey milk tea tasted more like unsweetened ice tea. I want a refund…

I have had a lot of bubble tea, and while this isn’t the best, it’s pretty good.
I hate when the shop uses powder instead of syrup, the lazy way to bubble tea, so i was happy to see a line of syrups up. I was happy with my green apple slushy-​style w/​traditional tapioca pearls. Like i said, not the best, but i’ve had a hard time finding good bubble tea on the east side, so i’ll take it.
The one thing was that one of the days i was there it was intensely slow. It was a sunday, one of those 90 degree weekends we had, and there was only one girl behind the counter, and she wasn’t exactly hustling. Why wouldn’t you bring in more than one staff person on a day like that? If you’re the owner, even if all your people can’t come in, you should come in. Some people left after waiting in line a while.
The price is ok, not the cheapest, not the most expensive.

Most disgusting boba tea I have ever tasted in my life,
The tea tasted like soap and the boba was harder than mints. Enuff said.
Don’t go. If your’e in Renton/​Tukwila, go to Orange Tree. The drinks are loose leaf teas and don’t taste like… soap

Was shopping around and had a craving for some bubble tea so we looked around the mall for Bobalicious. The location isn’t the best in the mall (its close to the Sears side) but we eventually found it. Their selection wasn’t bad but everything was overpriced. Ended up just getting a cold japanese milk tea which cost over $ 4! Also should mention that the customer before us took one sip of his drink and made this face 0_​o, which can never be good. He ended up going to the counter and told them it didn’t taste good… all in all, overpriced for just average bubble tea.

I work in this mall, and I get bubble tea at Bobalicious almost every day! The people that work there are nice. I’ve had tons of different flavors, both hot and slush. Some good, some bad. I don’t recommend Baby mango slush, or pudding! Basic flavors like pineapple, mango, strawberry, and kiwi are all really yummy. The price is a little high, but you get a lot and if you order it hot it’s pretty cheap (but slush tastes better).
I recommend this boba stand!

I’m from Los Angeles, CA and recently moved up to Tacoma, WA. I really love honey green tea with boba and I have a place I usually go to when I was in LA. When I knew I had to move here, I was really worried I wouldn’t find a nice boba place. And at first, I found out that most places sold smoothies, fresh fruit juices with boba. What I was looking for was a place that sells green tea/​black tea with boba. I finally found Bobalicous!!! I went to the mall and tried it and the boba was fresh and chewy. It’s the best place I found around here so far. I just wish they had more locations, preferably one near Tacoma, WA (I can drink this practically everyday) Keep up the great tea flavor and fresh bobas and I will be back!
FYI– my usual orders are passion fruit green tea and honey green tea with boba. Yummy!

not worth the money…
We were at the mall and my girlfriend had a craving for a bubble tea so we trekked across the mall in search of the Bobalicious kiosk. Looked like any other bubble tea counter with a few workers buzzing around. Took a look at the menu and it was typical except for the prices. I guess since they are in the mall, rent is higher therefore the inflated prices. We asked if they had anything made with fresh fruit ingredients and they said that they had strawberry, banana and avocado. We ordered the avocado smoothie. Almost five bucks… at least it came with the boba. It tasted on far with better ones we’ve had but for 5 bucks… it should have been. Their hot drink prices are reasonable but I guess if you gotta have bubble tea at the mall, you’ll pay for it. If I was at the mall and craved one, I’d go back. But otherwise head to a place in Chinatown, U-​district or Shoreline.

So I was super excited when I saw all the great reviews about this place… too bad i was dissapointed… I was in the mall and figured that since I was there, I should try it. I got a mango smoothie with tapioca. The smoothy was ok for the first couple of sips, by then it started to taste gritty and really milky. The boba was ok… it was a little too soft for me.
The person there was very friendly and helpful. I dont think that I’ll be coming back here. I’ll stay with my usual boba houses.
FYI– the owner sent me a message saying that he’ll take my opinion into consideration. Great service! Maybe I will try and go back to this place

I was visiting my parents in Seattle for the weekend, and came across the Bobalicious kiosk in Southcenter mall. The staff there said that they opened just a couple of weeks ago, so I’m always game to try out new boba drinks. I’ve had a lot boba in my days, and this is the closest thing to liquid heaven I’ve found. The boba was fresh with a perfect balance of taste, texture, and sweetness. Anyone visiting Southcenter Mall should definitely give it a try. I’ll be back for sure every time I’m in town!

The first thing that caught my was the extraordinary design of this kiosk. It reminded me of my frigid days ice fishing in Alaska. I was immediately drawn to this penguin palace where I was greeted by the dashing head penguin cashier, Dennis. His pleasant demeanor and smile brightened my day.
Instead of my usual starbucks espresso or jamba juice, I decided to have my go at one of the many choices of «boba» teas and juices. I was informed by Dennis that all of the ingredients were fresh and recipes home-​brewed. I finally settled for the taro milk tea with BOBA, and OMG I am HOOKED!!! It was as if they were crushing fresh taro roots behind that ice structure of a kiosk! Although I live in Bellevue, I’ll definately be back next week for another boba-​delicious drink.
Bottomline, 5 stars of bobadeliciousness!
