Hub Boba & Creamery — Restaurant in Mercer Island

The taste here is quite good. The pricing isn't. In U-district, great drinks are $6-8 with toppings and adjustments, and can get even lower w/ discounts. The cheapest drink you can get in Bellevue Square is under $6. A classic here STARTS at $7.50. If I wanted similar adjustments to what I'd normally get, I'd be charged nearly $10 for a single drink, and that's excluding tip.

I'm no business owner, and I know MI is expensive, but these prices are something else. There's no boba in Bellevue Square that charges this much, and there's almost no other place that charges anything, much less almost a dollar just to use fewer ice cubes. With these prices, fleecing customers with ice charges is borderline criminal. The lower volume of customers may justify the starting price, but charging $0.75 to get less ice and $1.50 for no ice is insane.

I really enjoyed my drink, definitely worth trying at least once, but I'd rather look at getting food at...

A guy with orange hair (sorry, I don’t know his name) made really bad drinks for us. This was surprising because just a week ago, there was a very nice man who made an amazing mango coco drink, and that’s why we came back. This time, we ordered the Mango Coco and the Pina Colada Summer drink. Unfortunately, both drinks were terrible — the milk had separated into curdled clumps, and there was watery liquid around it, like the milk had gone bad. We ended up throwing them away because they tasted spoiled and were completely...

Amazing boba and ice cream shop! My boba was delicious, I got Thai tea with coconut condensed milk and boba. The pearls were the perfect texture, flavor was perfect and not too sweet. Robert was very friendly answering questions and gave me ice cream tasters of the most delicious coffee almond fudge flavor I’ve ever tried!! Staff and menu options here are outstanding, they treat their customers like royalty!! Will definitely be coming back anytime I visit Mercer island...
