Never had before and there was just 1 couple there so was able to order quickly and received many good recommendations from both of the two staff people. I ended up getting the ube fresh milk with taro balls. Omggggggg it was the BEST I've ever had and I have had my fair share of ube drinks because I am Filipina! The cream was so fresh and so yummy! Had me craving to get it again and saw that they have a Tacoma location which is closer to where I live. My best friend and her son love this place too and they were traveling from France but are Cham so have had tons of different types of boba. They drank all their drinks!!! Highly recommend!!!!

So happy that I don't have to drive to Federal Way anymore for a bubble waffle! Before they only had one flavor, but now they added chocolate and oreo.. Sometimes I do half original and half chocolate and get a side of the oreo puff cream. The location has a few tables inside and even have games you can play which are near the spot you place your order. I like that they give you a sturdy bad for you togo drinks and not the flimsy cardboard. Tbh, service was nothing out of the ordinary.

As someone who has had boba across several states, Tacoma generally doesn't really have the best…read moreboba options, so Bobalust is definitely an anomaly. I'd even go as far to say that it's the best boba spot in the Tacoma area. They have smoothie, slushies, tea, milk tea, and etc. The drinks are quite filling, so I usually have no room for food! (Cost): $8.27 + tip (Location): The shop itself is on the smaller end, with a few tables inside for seating. It's located in a very busy shopping area-- a little bit down the street from Tacoma Mall. It gets insanely busy during the weekend, so plan your trip accordingly. The good thing is that there is a lot of parking. (Service): I have been here quite a bit and the employees have always been pleasant to interact with. I literally cannot recall a time where I had a bad experience, and the drink was made in less than 5 minutes. I don't know if it's ran by the same people, but I went to a Bobalust near Tukwila that also had excellent service. (Food): Summer Saas (5/5)-- a fruit tea drink with peach pieces in it. I also added in some black boba. I usually stick to the Orange Dreamsicle, but I decided to try something new and I am so glad that I did. This drink was amazing-- not too sweet but also not too tart. I will definitely order it again. Orange Dreamsicle (5/5)-- a smoothie type drink made with vanilla and orange. Also has fruity jelly pieces at the bottom. An excellent drink that reminds me of those old school orange cream soda floats made with ice cream.

They have a great selection of unique and interesting combinations that I haven't seen elsewhere, such as the Strawberry Hendrix and the Froot Loop. They also serve traditional milk tea, and you can fully customize your drink with a variety of syrups, fill ins, and toppings. Other drinks include coffee, fruit tea, and lemonade. If you're lactose intolerant they have almond milk, coconut milk, lactose free milk, soy milk, and oat milk! (Cost): $10.92 + tip (Location): The interior is beautifully decorated and while not that big, there are quite a few places to sit. It's near a normally busy shopping area that has a Target, Walmart, Crumbl, and etc. There is plenty of parking. The area is decently safe. (Service): Great, the employee greeted me right away and gave me my online order-- which was thankfully completed farrr earlier than the 40 minute eta on Doordash. (Food): King Brulee Milk Tea (5/5)-- I added extra boba, extra caramel drizzle, changed the milk to soy, and requested no ice ($1) . This was exactly the sugar rush that I wanted and the boba was the perfect consistency. I loved everything about this drink. I was super hungry before drinking it, but I ended up being full for several hours after doing so!

Green tea is light, flavor was faint, but good way to ease into boba, plus good for younger audiences. Enough milk to make it creamy and eliminate any bitterness, no matter how low the sugar is.

When they first opened they were highly popular and there was quite a line in order to receive service. So I waited for the newness to wear off. Once that happened I swung by here and got a very fine boba tea. I picked the Taro flavor and liked it very much. The chewy tapioca balls were great...I always love getting those and fishing around for any stragglers once the main drink is finished. I try to get as many as I can when I'm starting out and in the middle but I usually have a fair amount left. They don't take cash. I'm not sure if that's a permanent policy or if it was a issue that they were having at the time so best be prepared with more than one payment option.

From the moment I walked in, the space felt clean, well kept, and thoughtfully put together. There's a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a bit longer rather than just grab and go. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive. Now to the drink the banana pudding matcha was the highlight. It struck a great balance smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The banana flavor came through naturally without overpowering the matcha, which still held its earthy, rich profile. You can tell care went into crafting it. Overall, a solid experience. Great drink, clean environment, and friendly service. Sen is definitely a spot I'd return to.

The texture of the ice blended drink was smooth and creamy, there were not chunks of ice like other places tend to have. The flavors were spot on! The drink was the perfect combination of both flavors merges together and the lychee jellies were flavorful as well. My fiancé got the Strawberry Tea with lychee jellies and he enjoyed his drink as well. I'll definitely be back to try different drinks!

Avocado and Taro slush bubble tea are my favorite so my review for Pearl Tea is mostly based on my…read moreexperience of getting their Avocado Smoothie. Their Avocado smoothie is pretty solid (my favorite Avocado smoothie will forever always be the Champion Bubble Tea inside the 99 Ranch Market in Renton years ago :)). They use real Avocado and no powder, and it takes little bit longer to blend if you ask for reduced sugar version because without 100% sugar (regular recipe), ice doesnt melt fast enough to mix. So its been taking about good 10 minutes from the time I place order to getting my smoothie. They keep adding more milk to blend for better consistency and because they don't have a exact recipe for that yet (and probably ordered less often than other drinks :)). It's all worth the wait for me because I'm really looking for a quality Avocado smoothie. Their iced tea is excellent, my favorite is Mango Iced Tea. The customer service is very kind, they're always smiling, and place is kept clean. It's located right across the crosswalk from the Whole Foods Market village in University Place so parking and access is very convenient. They're still quite new so give them some time to master their speed.
