I'm rating Boba and Beyond based on my overall experience and, of course, the taste of the boba. I recently moved to the area from California, so I'll admit my boba expectations might be a little high. This place had great reviews, so I was excited to try it. Overall, I'd say it reminds me of T4 -- it's just okay. When I walked in, there was no one inside and only one staff member working. It wasn't busy at first, but a line quickly started forming. With just one employee making drinks, it didn't seem ideal for handling multiple customers, so you may end up waiting a bit during busier moments. I ordered the matcha taro cloud with boba -- two flavors I really love together. The milk tea itself was actually pretty good. It wasn't watery and had a nice consistency. However, the employee forgot to add boba to both my drink and the customer after me. I had already walked out and taken a few sips before realizing it was missing, so I had to go back in to get it added. She was apologetic and I appreciate that she promptly fixed it. The boba itself ended up a little underwhelming. I might just be used to the soft, honey boba from Bober Tea, but this one tasted firmer than I prefer. I personally like my boba softer. I do wish the quality of the boba was better and that my order had been accurate from the start. Still, it seems like a nice, simple spot for basic boba -- and it's conveniently located right next to Safeway, so it's easy to grab a drink before or after doing your grocery shopping. Would I come back? Maybe, but I'd probably manage my expectations next time. read more

I came here for a bubble tea. It's bright and cheery and very reminiscent of the bubble tea shops that are trending now. The service is quick and speedy, they are kind and tell you their offerings. I got two bubble tea drinks. One milk and one strawberry. The strawberry is fine, the milk is fine too but the tea is different than what I'm used to. It's more of a deeper bitter black tea. Not horrible but surprise taste and not that sweet. Which is fine for me. They have the bubble waffles and the house specials look interesting. Especially the mango lassi and it appears they serve dumplings too if the pictures are any indication. I like this place, it's nice and bright and a good place to study/work and get a snack. I think with more business and expansion of the menu, it would skyrocket. I won't lie, when I saw the lassi on the menu, I had hoped for a rich chai too because we don't get that around here. I have to make it on my own now. Also, while it appears they can steam and waffle, a savory waffle and maybe savory steamed buns would be good. read more

ALWAYS out of yogurt... one time the owner went to Safeway to get it. But no one else bothers... maybe take Mango Lassi off your menu.

This place is fantastic! Boba is yummy and the customer service is great. Every time we've been in the person working has been so kind and helpful. It's also set up so cute whoever designed it nailed the aesthetic. read more

Came in to try a Thai tea and I'm so glad I did! They freshly brew their tea and their drinks are made to order. They asked me for the sweetness level and I told them "not too sweet" and it was perfect. I look forward to coming back and trying the "mo:mo" dumplings they offer. read more

The lady at the front was very kind and respectful in how she spoke. But the thing that stood out the absolute most was how delicious the milk tea was!!! And I have HAD milk teas. This isn't some first time "oh it's good" review. I've had thousands of milk teas in different places because I love boba and this was the best one I've had in coconut flavor. Location is also very centralized so it's convenient , right next to a lot of shops and stores but not crazy busy or crowded. Great place. read more

Great experience, even better drinks! The service was outstanding. I reviewed this the day I was there (a nice long descriptive one) but for some reason it's not here anymore? My one critique is the lighting is harsh, but the drinks make up for it. :) will be back. read more

Second time here. First time I had the Thai Tea and now the Sugar Classic Milk. Both were delicious and they were very generous with the bobas. Great place. Highly recommended. read more

Smoothies were decent, ice cream was really tasty, I thought the momos were on the salty side. There is one worker that is nice and the other worker is, well, Seattle nice. Overall they got the job done well. The inside is very nice and cozy. Good place to stop with your kids on a random weekday to get them a drink and let them hang out for a bit :) read more

Great service, friendly, and delicious boba teas!! Owner is very sweet, you can tell she values customers and her business! Definitely recommend!! read more

My daughter and I love to come here after school/work! Boba and beyond is just a nice relaxing, clean, and cute little hole in the wall near Jersey Mikes! They're staff are always wonderful, always talking with my little one when we go there, and playing her favorite songs! Not to mention they're boba drinks are better than any other little joints around. Literally better than Happy Lemon (more authentic) and the boba at the mall (just better)! Not to mention the adorable little back drop here to take photos. Classy! read more

Boba and Beyond - Ice cream! Two scoops and two different flavors since they have like 4+ to choose from! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Lovely little gem with high quality drinks and snacks. We had the Thai iced tea and they make fresh brewed REAL tea with leaves (not powder) and the sweetness was absolutely perfect (you can ask for more/less sweet). The tapioca boba we had added were perfectly bouncy and fresh. We also got one of their Japanese style strawberry sandos and it was absolutely HEAVENLY! The shop a bread was so delicious and fresh, so much lovely cream, and the strawberries were perfect! We will definitely be back many times! Can't wait to try their momos next time! read more

The lady was so nice I got a honeydew tea with lychee jelly, super good and a mango fruit tea with lychee jelly. It was the perfect sweetness. I'm definitely gonna go back and try her dumplings.

It looked really good. I'm definitely gonna come back and try this place multiple times. read more

Worst bubble tea I've ever had. To be brutally honest, the people that have rated this five stars has not had good bubble tea. We got the Thai milk tea which was meh, okay. We also got the brown sugar milk tea which was horrible. It tastes nothing like how it's supposed to. I drank maybe only a forth of it. We also asked for a bubble waffle (it's on their menu). They then told us they don't offer bubble waffles but they have regular waffles. So we got a regular waffle covered in chocolate. The waffle wasn't completely cooked and even if it was, there was nothing good about the whole thing. Would not recommend going here. There are much better bubble tea places in Lacey/Olympia. read more

I would consider myself a regular. I come in once or twice a week for a strawberry lemonade regular Boba. You have to give this place a try. Definitely recommend! read more

Okay, I don't often post reviews, but, we love this cute boba shop. Amazing Boba teas extremely friendly. read more

They're very generous with their boba toppings unlike other boba shops, if you want something that isn't on menu they are more than happy to make you the drink and if you're not happy with the quality you'll get it remade no cost, I asked for a mango matcha boba shake and even though it wasn't on menu and the owner hasn't tried making it before she still used her talents to make the drink and it's the best Boba shake I've ever had. Highly recommend it! read more

I've had boba from all over the world and this, no exaggeration is the greatest boba I've tried. The matcha milk tea with coconut milk and tapioca is the best one in my opinion but all are yummy! The pork momo are very good also. They are made fresh and to order so it's a bit of a wait while they cook but its not fast food, it's worth it! The owners are super sweet, kind, and give great recommendations if you're unsure what to get. I rave about this place to everyone and can't recommend it enough. read more

Such great service and out boba was awesome! It's a must stop! we were coming through from a wedding and had to make the stop!!

Smells in this place and boba is not authentic. Drink was not mixed still chunks of brown sugar at the bottom. Green tea tastes like chalk.

Boba and Beyond offers different types of fruit, toppings, and real brewed tea. The care that goes into the tea preparation is evident, and after my now 5th visit I have enjoyed each different drink that I have tried!! read more

it was nice inside and great for a cute photo op but tbh my boba wasn't good at all. I didn't even finish it. The staff were nice and glad it wasn't busy when I went so i got fast and polite service read more

Im not super into extremely sweet drinks, so i asked what she suggested and she mentioned their matcha with honey and coconut milk. It was super good!! Highly recommend. read more

This place is super cute and great for photo ops, etc. Very clean. We were just stopping in while running errands so enjoy the atmosphere as much as we would have liked. The woman behind the counter was super patient with my son while he ordered for himself. We ordered 3 drinks and all agreed they were good, not great. While it won't be our new go-to for boba, we'll definitely be back when we can hang out inside more. read more

The workers are super friendly and want to make sure that you enjoy your drinks. The strawberry matcha's creamy and refreshing- a little on the sweeter side so I'd recommend 50% sweetness to get that strong matcha flavor. Would definitely come again! read more

brown sugar syrup used in tea was burnt, made the whole tea taste awful. tapioca wasn't ready when they opened the lady said it would take extra 30 minutes to wait which is kind of crazy, why open if you're not ready for service. read more

Very good customer service, popular area with more stores around and good place to stop and get a drink, better than Happy Lemon boba. read more

Please! I urge you to go here if you enjoy boba or milk tea. It's a very quaint and cozy place with friendly staff that do an amazing job. The drinks taste amazing, and they keep the menu simple. Out of all the boba places my wife and I have been to since living here, we have found this to be our #1. Definitely an underrated spot, so again, please give them your business they deserve it! read more

One of my friends wanted to meet here for authentic Nepalese dumplings (momos) and bubble tea. I have never had momos before, but was excited to try. I am used to Japanese and Chinese style dumplings, but the momos are so different, but so flavorful & delicious. They steam them, so it takes a little while for them to cook, but so worth it. Customer service is fantastic, questions were answered and recommendations made when requested. The location is small, but cute & clean with a beautiful floral backdrop for photos. Everything was so great my first visit, I actually ended up bringing my husband and daughter back a few days later. I really enjoy the brown sugar milk tea, ordered with half the sweetness, plus I mix it well before I drink. It is really delicious. I am going to try the Thai iced tea my next visit, because I heard the owner telling a customer they make it from fresh tea leaves! My husband enjoyed ube milk tea, which I tasted and it was really good as well, just a little sweet for me (but he ordered it at full sweetness). Can't wait to visit again! read more

This place aint it. It's just cheap powder drinks and the tapioca balls weren't cooked correctly.

Way too many seeds in my tea, could barely drink my boba without getting a mouthful of seeds.

Could potentially work it's way to become a hidden gem. Staff were nice, drinks are good not sweet at all which is fine. However should have options for sweetness. Will give it a little time since it is a new place. read more
