MUST TRY! â TrĂ Tea in Kirkland is an absolute gem when it comes to bubble tea. From the moment you step inside, owner Anna and her staff create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Their expertise shines through in every sip of the bubble tea they serve.
Having been bubble tea enthusiast for 20 years, my expectations were high, and TrĂ Tea exceeded them all. The Jasmine bubble tea they make is hands-down the best I've ever had. The flavors are perfectly balanced, with the delicate floral notes of Jasmine shining bright.
As a vegan, I had heard that they use a nondairy creamer for their base of their milk tea, so I was excited when I thought I could get a taro milk tea for the first time in ages! Anna had made the drink by the time I realized there might be casein (an animal product) in the drink mix, so she quickly grabbed the bag to check the ingredient list.

If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by TrĂ Tea and experiencing their beautiful, clean storefront and their exceptional bubble tea firsthand. Not only will you enjoy the best bubble tea out there, but you'll also have the pleasure of meeting Anna, who is as friendly and...
   Read moreI stopped by Snoqualmie Ice Cream in Kirkland and had such a great experience! I ordered a cloud matcha, and it was absolutely perfect â smooth, not overly sweet, and so refreshing. The shop itself is spotless and has a modern, welcoming vibe.
The real highlight though was the staff. Every employee I interacted with was incredibly friendly, patient, and had such a great attitude. They were attentive, quick to serve, and genuinely made me feel like a valued customer. You can tell they care about making peopleâs day better, not just serving drinks.
Whether youâre here for ice cream, boba, or just a little pick-me-up, this place nails it in both flavor and service. Highly recommend!

   Read moreBest iced matcha oat milk latte I've had. I ordered less ice with 50% sugar and it was perfect. It comes in a cute can. It's so pretty and not too sweet. They use ceremonial grade matcha so you can really taste it. Unlike most places that mostly taste like milk with a hint of matcha. Honestly best one I've had at any bubble tea place. I would definitely come back and try a different location. The hubs got the lychee iced tea with chia and he liked it. Would definitely recommend. It's a little away from all the central shops but I'm glad we stubled upon it since our usual bbt...
