Bubble Tea Fresh Fruit Juice

This is more of a smoothie/​juice place then anything. I ordered a coffee bubble tea it was disappointing. My friend ordered a taro bubble tea and that was also disappointing. They were both heavily watered down. BUT my other friend got some kale (I forgot the rest of the stuff in it) smoothie and it was pretty good. His smoothie did taste a bit on the sweet side for it being mainly veggies, so maybe they added sugar. Eh.

I was waiting for a take out order from Sichuanese. I’m kind of addicted to boba so I Unilocaled the closest, it’s right across the street. I was surprised it was open since these hours said it was closed on Sunday — hours updated now!
I got lavender milk tea and the drink itself tasted really sweet, like the syrupy artificial type of sweet. The boba had a nice chewy texture and wasn’t over or undercooked. I’d maybe go back to try a slushie instead if I was around, but wouldn’t make a trip there specifically for boba.

Nice bright place, friendly service, loved the iced Vietnamese coffee I got there. Will be coming back for sure!

I’m a fan of this establishment! For quality of products of alone, I’d give it 4 stars. However, for the price of the juice that I receive, I do not wish to pay $ 6+ for just juice. That sounds ridiculous to me. They have mixed drink combos like kale, spinach, and apple for like $ 5.75. That’s a great combination of fruits/​veggies, however, to pay equivalent to a lunch meal seems almost unlikely I’d like to return.
The positives though: amazing avocado smoothies. I’m always a sucker for a good avocado smoothie, and this one is delicious. Add some fruit jelly, and your smoothie is a done deal. That is one thing that makes it hard to stop coming here – they are super friendly, and the quality of the fruit/​veggies tastes super fresh and sweet!
I also like their combos with kale and spinach. I usually do something like avocado, pineapple and coconut, just avocado and coconut, or kale/​spinach with avocado and something sweet like mangoes or apples. It’s great to be able to make your own, just for a cost of over $ 6.
I like the diversity of options, and the option to make a combo, however, the price is not worth it. I’d like to think that for some juice, I can go buy some fruit myself and make the same juice for cheaper. But they do give you all the juice that was blended, even if it doesn’t fit your cup. They’re really great about giving you everything they juiced for you.
I’ve never had the tapioca here, so I can’t speak for that. The jelly is great though, and is free, I believe with whatever drink you order. I will say they have really great fruit selections, great quality, and excellent customer service. I’d come back for a splurge maybe once in a blue moon, but otherwise this is a little pricier than coffee. Definitely recommend it to others though for consistent quality in fruit smoothies and fruit drinks!

Fresh juice for sure made from fresh fruit on point! Chicken Bahn Mi delicious well put together!

Their fruit smoothies actually taste like they’re made with real fruit. The owners are really nice and let you get as much tapioca, lychee, or other add ons as you want for free. This is the best bubble tea place in Seattle!

Fresh fruit and can be done no milk no sugar — just fruit and tapioca! Tasty, delicious, friendly. Definitely coming back!

Fun atmosphere and yummy strawberry bubble tea! Friendly service too. I’m hooked! Good location with easy parking.

I have been twice and the drinks are delicious! I have gotten watermelon and strawberry pineapple. I love that the drinks are flavorful and made with fresh fruit. Customer service has always been friendly and prompt. They play this weird YouTube channel of pranks that is creepy/​entertaining. I will definitely come back. Love that there’s parking.

Boyfriend and I wanted to get bubble tea the other day after a hot afternoon of grocery shopping. We’ve gotten bubble tea or boba from literally every place that has it in the ID/​Chinatown except for here. So going on a whim we decided to try it.
The menu was very different from what we had expected. We were used to seeing teas and were presented with all fruit juices/​fruit smoothies, which is not a bad option!
We settled on the Avocado Fruit Smoothie and a Strawberry Fruit Smoothie. I noticed that while they were making both, they had used fresh fruit! Super excited about that! Most Boba shops that do fruit juice/​fruit smoothies use artificial flavoring but this was the real deal. You could also taste it in the drink! We had gotten tapioca/​boba in both of our drinks. I’m used to my boba being sweeted (using brown sugar syrup when it’s made) but the boba there was not sweetened and was a bit too chewy.
Downside would have to be the price. It’s on the pricey-​er end than it’s fellow competitors, however they make up for it in the freshness. I also wished they had a larger variety of fruit. I had a hard time choosing a flavor. My go to all time favorite fruit is Passion Fruit/​Lilikoi and I was a really bummed that wasn’t on the menu. They carried DURIAN of all things but no Passion Fruit or Guava! So hopefully that’ll change later down the line. For now I will settle with Avocado or Strawberry.

Love this place! You can pick out your tropical smoothie based on what looks good in the behind the window. Everything is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the mango pineapple smoothie.

Currently sipping on a papaya smoothie on this warm day and I must say, the boba here is a hit or miss. Been here a few times and so far, the drinks have been pretty average.
The tapioca has consistently been a bit too chewy for my taste. As for the drinks, I highly recommend getting the fresh fruit choices, like avocado :) Very fresh and not too sweet to drink. As for the other drinks, like the mixed or fruit juices, I feel like these aren’t quite up to par as other boba places. The selection is quite limited to smoothies and fruit juices, so don’t expect to order milk tea or anything.
Prices are a bit higher than the average [$ 5 and up] for the boba here and there is a small variety of snacks offered.
Overall, the place is clean and colorful and isn’t hard to find. I recommend checking this place out if you’re in the mood for some fresh fruit smoothie!

My new favorite boba spot. A lot of places advertise «fresh ingredients» and this place is the first time I actually believe it. Their drinks taste like actual fruit, not powder mix!

Wow, I just started coming here and I love it!
The service is very friendly. They don’t speak much English but enough to communicate with English-​speaking customers and they are very sweet.
Their fruit shakes are $ 4.95 plus tax and are very tasty. I love the avocado shake. Tapioca is included in the price. The tapioca is okay.
The banana coffee is quite interesting– it’s iced coffee blended with banana like a frappacino. I highly recommend this spot!

This new store has a good selection of fruit juices and fruit smoothies. Unlike the majority of bubble tea joints in the International District which use powder and loads of sugar, this place does in fact use fruit (fresh, hopefully) so they are already on the right track.
The «fruit juices» are more natural as they are made with organic fruit and contain zero sugar. The «fruit smoothies» are also made with organic fruit but with only a small dose of sugar. Assuming these are true, I am definitely a fan. I got myself a jackfruit smoothie and it tasted amazing. Sure, you pay a couple bucks more than you do for a regular cup of bubble tea, but it is worth it for real fruit ingredients.
I didn’t bother with their banh mi vietnamese sandwiches — seeing as there are like 5 other vietnamese deli shops within a block away that all specialize in selling these sandwiches, I wouldn’t imagine the ones here being any better.
On my way out, I passed by the ChuMinh Tofu Deli next door where an adorable old lady working there noticed my drink and attempted to persuade me to try out their fresh fruit juice next time instead (only $ 4!). She’s proven that she understands her competition, so maybe I will in fact try it out next time. :)

This place just opened, but we already come here all the time. There are too few bubble tea places in Seattle that use real, fresh fruit. So many of them use powders and syrups! The people here are very nice, and they also serve a small selection of wraps and Vietnamese sandwiches. Good prices, great juices and smoothies, REAL fruit!

After seeing the grand opening sign, my friend and I were excited to check it out. We arrived a few days later a little bit after 10am (the time it opens) and the store was not yet open. We arrived again later, and the appearance and décor is nice. My friend and I had high hopes. I guess it was our mistake when we just got the mango smoothie. It just depends on how ripe the fruit is, ours was sour. Probably, because they do use real fruit which could explain the prices. The cup was weird, our drink wasn’t even filled to the top (there is only one size).
The problem, there’s no option to add tapioca or rainbow jelly for a charge (example 50cents). Therefore you’re paying for tapioca or jelly whether you want it or not. The selection of jelly is really limited, only rainbow. The tapioca was really hard, and chewy in a bad way. Also, the cashier gave our change after we got our drink, which is weird. Whenever I pass by, the store tends to be closed when it should be open.

I passed by this little shop and noticed that it newly opened. I was craving a refreshing drink, so I decided to see what the shop 2 was about.
I ordered the mango coconut smoothie. They do use fresh fruit and what looked like Vitamixes from afar. I had no issues with the smoothie quality and taste, as I’d give it 4-​stars if I had to give a rating, but what lost me and disappointed me the most was the consistency and taste of the boba.
The boba/​tapioca pearls that I asked for in my smoothie were probably the worst, lackluster tasting pearls that I’ve had, ever! They were too chewy and overcooked and weren’t up to par with all the other dependable drink shops I’ve been too. The pearls almost tasted like someone made them at home for the first time and never knew that there’s a specific consistency that they should have! It was so bad that I debated avoiding sipping up the balls; each chew reminded me of how awful was their boba!
If you go here, opt for the drinks but don’t add in the boba/​tapioca pearls. You’ll thank me later.

A new boba/​juice joint opened in the ID, and I went to go check the place out a few days ago.
First off, I see fresh fruit at the front! That’s always a good sign. The menus, food and drink, were dangling at the front. For the smoothies, you can either choose a single flavor or do a two-​fruit mix, which there are designated ones, for a slightly more expensive price. The combinations were interesting to say the least. Avocado and chocolate? Hmm. Also, as a disclaimer, I am a big fan of durian and durian shakes! Yes I know what some of you haters are thinking: durian smells like (insert 4-​letter expletive) and the texture is like a baby’s soft poop. The spiky weapon-​looking fruit is definitely an acquired taste. But don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. If you cannot deal with the smell, the shake/​smoothie version (as opposed to the actual fruit) might be a better alternative.
I tried the strawberry and mango combination smoothie. Pretty fresh tasting and sweet, but you know it doesn’t taste artificial as if they put some fake sweetener in it.
Second, this place asks you if you want tapioca after you pay for the smoothie, so I’m guessing it’s free. My thoughts on the black balls? Not the best. They were not hard but not chewy enough by any means. Maybe I have been spoiled by Young Tea’s flavored bobas, but the tapioca here, just like most other places, have flavorless tapioca.
Third, this place serves food like Banh Mi and wraps. There are a few tables here as well so this joint can become a good frequent hangout place if they market themselves more. In sum, nice place and always refreshing to see more of these places open up lately. I wonder why. Economy picking up perhaps? :)

After a filling late lunch in the International District, the college friend and kiddo were craving bubble tea and milk tea, respectively. I find this amusing since we polished off two pots of tea with lunch.
Anyways, we bypassed Gossip Tea and Saigon’s Bakery and Bubble Tea in the ID. We decided to check out newcomer, Bubble Tea Fresh Fruit Juice. The colorful outdoor banner was as advertised. There were refrigerated cases flanking the front counter with carefully arranged fresh fruit. This spoke volumes for the full bodied flavor from actual fruit, not dried fruit powder, blended with ice. Not a shred of wheat grass or kale nearby :)
The college friend had a mango bubble tea with the signature black tapioca pearls. The kiddo had not one, but two, milk teas. I’ve never had a bubble tea or milk tea before this visit, which seemed like a crime at a Pacific Rim city like Seattle. But for this diehard Earl Grey tea drinker, the milk tea was very balanced and refreshing over ice.
This business just opened on 5÷19÷15, so it’ll be good to follow up later to see how consistent they remain after this 5÷25÷15 visit. Clean and inviting space with friendly, approachable counter service.
