Yuu Tea Cafe — Restaurant in Seattle

Ordered a Hokkaido milk tea with boba and an Everything bagel with roasted garlic cream cheese. Will 100% come again!!

They make their milk tea with actual tea leaves (not powdered milk tea mixes, like some other shops use), so it tasted fresh and smooth. The boba was pretty fresh, too; a few pearls were a little hard, but overall my drink wasn't powdery, nor overly or artificially sweet, and the pearls were chewy, which is where other shops struggle to deliver— not here though!

The bagels are home-made, and man they're tasty! Humble and unassuming as it sounds, their Everything bagel with roasted garlic cream cheese knocked my socks off.

Not only this, but the staff were friendly and inviting, and clearly take pride in their space. One of the owners informed me about what sets them apart from other bubble tea cafés, including their use of fresh-brewed tea and imported Japanese and their selling homemade bagels (from his Mom!) and cream cheese! Super inviting folks :)

The café itself is sleek, clean, and bright, with plenty of seating and a laid-back environment. Go support a new,...

This place was clean and the manager was friendly and welcoming. But it all went down hill as I waited over 15 min for a Boba tea. Two other customers who arrived after me received their drinks first. As I waited the 2 employees scurried around in a confused manner and seemed unaware of my order. When I finally received mine, it was thin like water, not cold and not at all flavorful. Fruit flavor could hardly be detected at all. It appeared that the two employees were extremely disorganized and didn’t know what to do. There was no “thank you for your patience” or anything at all like that. Had I not already been late for an appointment due to the long wait I definitely would’ve returned this. What a waste of almost $10!! I mistakenly rushed off without tasting it till I got to my car. I will definitely not be back nor would I recommend anybody else waste their money...

Vast selection of drinks ranging from a variety of outsourced Japanese matcha, Espresso based drinks (5 grouphead machines) and topping selection! The matcha brûlée was very good and my reccomendation if you stop by here.

Big ceilings,wide open window lighting and real plants🌱🪴 is what immediately stuck out to me coming into this place. The area itself is kind of suspect, but walking in, it’s very comforting and it smells good🙂‍↔️. Kind of feels like I’m in one of those cafe’s in asia.

The bagels are also vast in options, I can’t name ‘em all but there was at least 5-6+ types including a French toast bagel. There’s also so many options of cream cheese, the salmon spread which I had was very delish.

Will come back to try the other flavors! I hope this place survives...
