Cute little lowkey boba shop located by target with some space for dining & hanging out. They made my boba pretty quick compared to other boba shops. The ambiance is definitely there. They close pretty late too so this is a perfect place to end off a cute little dinner date! Boba is super fresh & chewy... just to my liking. I got the brown sugar milk tea w/ oat milk, boba, and a shot of matcha. They have a lot of creative beverage options. Would definitely come back for more read more

I had never had matcha but I wanted to try it. So I asked the batista (who ws as sweet as the drink) what would be a good suggestion. She said try the strawberry matcha!!! Wow! I was not disappointed. Soooo good. I'm from out of town can't wait to go back! ..we also had like 12 other drinks for the rest of the family. They were all good! read more

I've been here twice now and will keep coming back! Excellent service, always greeted as soon as you walk in, and very tasty flavors of milk tea. You can ask for different sugar levels and I enjoyed a decaf milk tea tonight. Guy with long purple hair was really nice! I was gonna enjoy it at home, but I finished it before I got home! read more

LOVE this place!! (I'm waiting on my third drink of the week as I type this.) I came by about a week ago and had the pleasure of enjoying a lavender/earl grey drink that nearly had me on my knees. I returned days later and had the drink pictured below, I believe it's called the Captain Munch. It's a taro milk tea with blended strawberry and mochi bits at the bottom. I opted to add traditional boba assince I like to munch on my drinks hehe. It's SO good. During peak times, be sure to pack your patience! It can take a bit of time, but I can assure you it's worth the wait! Staff has always been friendly and provides yummy recommendations if you don't know where to start. Jade Lounge gets 5 stars from me :) read more

Always a vibe, this is the spot after concerts I've been to (Ateez and Enhypen,) all staff are nice despite how busy it gets. I ordered the jasmine milk tea at a lower sweetness level. Sweetness preference was perfect but it was still a tad bit warm. I don't live in the Tacoma area but I'd come when in the area. read more

Jade tea is adorably unique with an enticing and relaxing ambiance. They offer dairy free options with their wide variety and after trying mine and my wife's, I have a feeling you can't go wrong. Service is friendly, speedy, and they are easygoing and likable. I highly recommend stopping by to give them a try. read more

This is one of the better Boba places around. I wish it were closer to home but if we are in the area for dinner (which we are frequently) we will stop in. I am not sure why this was better but flavors, choices, staff, everything about it was just great. I did a Thai Tea with boba and it was great. Wasn't too sweet (even though you can adjust this up on request), and the boba was good. The list of toppings is long and there are some that I will need to be trying to change things up from my normal order. read more

Wanted to respond to the owner- there were no substitutions in any of the drinks- I got the creme brûlée one- I can't remember which ones my friend got. They just tasted more like milk than flavor. I didn't ding you for the drug addicts. read more

I order online ahead of time for pick up before work. My fave order is blended Honey Dew milk tea with boba or lychee. 75% sweetness. It's so refreshing! Always super cold when I pick up. The vibe is so cute in there. I hope to take advantage of it sometime. Highly recommend. read more

Been here enough times now where I can update my review. My first review was when they were first pretty new, but everything has been great since then. Seems like they change their menu often, which is cool. And they always have so many yummy sounding flavors that's it's so hard to order just decide on ordering on only one or two drinks at a time. And staff is always super friendly and helpful. read more

I had to come here again because I loved my first visit so much! Mia took our order again and she was lovely as usual. I highly recommend the black sugar matcha! It tastes like if a matcha latte and milk tea had a baby! It's my go-to drink from now on! read more

I had to try the Hello Kitty. Super tasty with a good balance of sweetness! This is a rose milk tea with honey boba (but I did half lychee jelly) with cold foam. The physical location used to be my go to study joint back in the day but seeing it as a cute little boba place makes my heart happy! Very chill cute vibe here. There are so many yummy flavors I'd love to try soon! read more

Super cute little boba tea shop! This place was super chill, with lots of seating. They have a little corner that was decorated to be very instagram-able. They have a stack of board games you can play too so I'm sure it's a great hangout spot! We got an Ube Milk Tea with grass jelly, which was pretty standard, and a Sip on the Beach with mango pudding (because they were out of aloe), which was suuuper sweet (like candy) even though we got both 25% sweetness. I'd give service 5 stars if I could because the girl at the front was super friendly and gave great suggestions/recommendations. read more

I went here for the first time yesterday and will definitely be coming back! I got the Apple Caramel Pop (no ice) and my husband got the Princess Peach (no ice). The Caramel Apple Pop came with a caramel drizzle and boba. It tastes just like fall in a cup with a nice balance of apples and cinnamon. I couldn't taste much of the caramel, but it's not a deal breaker for me as it was still super delicious! The boba was soft and chewy, and just how I like it. My husband had the Princess Peach, which had yakult, popping boba, and aloe vera. Very refreshing and definitely tasted like peach. The combination of all of the ingredients went well together. Both drinks had the perfect amount of sweetness. Usually, I get my drinks 50% sweet, but no adjustments needed to be made at all. read more

Been here a few times now and I love it. I usually get the Champagne Papi or some version of one of their fruit teas. Usually I struggle with other boba places because the drinks can get too sweet but I've never had that issue here. The staff was super helpful when I brought a friend with a dairy issue and helped her find a drink she could safely enjoy. I love how "instagramable" the ambiance is here without being overwhelming. Definitely my go-to boba shop when I'm in Tacoma! read more

An adorable little spot tucked behind target in Tacoma :) Accompanied by a small space for working, chatting, or enjoying some target-parking-lot people watching; the options here are wide and the employees are fun & welcoming. Drink options are endless, and feel fairly priced compared to some other shops i've visited. Wifi works great & lots of parking. read more

I've been here twice, but each visit was extremely polarizing so I can't justify giving them more than 3 stars. At my first visit, I got the Trix or Treat with boba. I thought the drink was delicious and I really enjoyed the boba. The boba had a great flavor and was perfectly chewy. At the next visit, I got the Strawberry Hendrix. It tasted watered down, the tea flavor was non-existent, and the boba was mushy. I would say this place may be great if you're getting into boba, but if you're a seasoned tea drinker, the tea flavor leaves a lot to be desired. Aside from the inconsistency of the drink quality, I thought the service was very friendly and it's a cute place to hang out. They have plenty of seating and the shop is well decorated with Instagram-worthy aesthetics. read more

Cool new boba lounge. I tried a Starboy Fruit Tea ($6.25 as of Nov 2022) and a Mango Mojo Fruit Tea ($6.25). I asked for 0% sweetness level for my Starboy beverage and it was pretty nice because lychee jelly is very sweet. Everything is clean. They have a website with menu with description of each beverage. No prices listed on the website though. read more

Menu has great variety. A few seasonal options. Options for additions(boba, jelly, pudding, etc), adjustment for sweetness/sugar, option for milk substitute. Environment is cute and decorated. Customer service is amazing. I asked for recommendations, and they were able to help out. Would definitely recommend. read more

First time here and I will definitely not return. After reading multiple reviews, I had to give this place a try. I usually go to these types of tea lounges/cafes with my kids -- they enjoy boba milk teas while I sip on plain hot teas. I arrived with a laptop, headphones, and a notebook in hand ready to attend an online meeting and get some work done. After a few attempts of unsuccessful WiFi connection, I tried to get the attention of a staff member but was given a side-stare and the staff walked away. A few minutes later, the staff returned and I quickly informed the staff about the WiFi issue, which the staff later informed me that it was not working. With that said, I used my mobile phone HotSpot. The music was loud and distracting; thankfully, I have noise-canceling headphones. They do not offer plain loose leaf teas as a drink option on the menu -- I have never been to a boba tea lounge/cafe that does not offer plain hot teas; this was the first. To obtain the tea I wanted, I was informed that I had to order a "milk tea" on the menu and they will remove whatever I do not want in the drink. I was surprised that the order came with comments "without milk, without topping, without..." and so on -- still, I was charged almost $7 for what was basically a cup of hot water and weakened steeped tea leaves. I also ordered a lemonade drink without the topping; again, I was charged almost $7 for it. It was a total of about $14 for both drinks, which took the staff maybe 10 minutes to prepare. I'm not impressed. I grabbed both of my drinks and drove to another local boba tea lounge/cafe. What do you know? Of course I had better drinks, snacks, WiFi connection, and customer service elsewhere. I say...if you're a teenager and looking for a spot to hangout/meetup and not looking to get any homework done, this is it. Or, maybe you're a young college couple on a boba tea drink date -- this might be your spot. read more

I saw them drop the ice scoop and just rinse it, that's so disgusting. Defiantly not up to food code. read more

Another boba shop opened down in Tacoma. I love the decor on the inside. It's very clean and inviting. Also seems like a great hangout spot with lots of seating. They have a vast menu with lots of great options from the fruit tea lovers to the milk tea lovers. I tried the Vietnamese coffee with ube on top and my bro got the strawberry hendrix. The drinks were really pretty to the eyes, but taste wise, my Vietnamese coffee drink was too milky. I couldn't really taste much ube and the Viet coffee flavor was not strong enough. I could only taste milk. It's a shame because they have so really creative drink selections. I am curious about their matcha drinks, so I will come back to try the matcha. read more

Great crazy ambiance, got friend got the King Brulee. Too much sugar, but that was his fault for not reducing. The puns were great, I laughed at the menu. I got the ube matcha, 50% sugar, and it needed more! But I still love the overall experience and large menu. read more

My husband and I have been coming here since they opened. The business it was before holds a special place in our hearts as we met there 5 years ago, so when Jade Lounge opened in its place we were so excited. Being a gay bi-racial (Japanese/Italian) person, I love what this business stands for. They are so incredible to the LGBTQ community and are serving flavors for the Asian community specifically. I have loved every drink I've tried from here and never had an issue. People complain about the wait, but I've never waited that long and if they didn't have something I wanted I just tried something else. I will say they are worth the little wait there may be. They're very busy for good reason. When I need to treat myself, this is where I come. Christina always makes me laugh and smile and she is just an incredible person. Thank you also for making our anniversary special yesterday. Anyone would be foolish to not try them out. When in doubt, classic milk tea, any matcha, or Raveberry. Enough said. read more

My sister spilt the whole drink and I ran inside to ask for some paper towels and the person at the counter was SUPER AWESOME and gave us another drink Great customer service and I think Jade Lounge will be our new boba place to go!!! read more

I went here with my partner and friend and each got a different menu item. I got the matcha brown sugar tea with honey boba as the topping. The drink didn't taste like matcha or black tea at all, just tasted like oatmilk and sugar. The boba was crunchy. Also if you get the Taro-nado, we would recommend getting the sugar level lessened because it was too sweet. I was super excited to try this place because of the reviews but would not readily recommend. The different menu options and atmosphere are cool. read more

I'm sad that this place didn't work out. I think this review might help out the owner. Went there based on the menu stating that their milk teas are non-dairy. We cannot have dairy at all so we felt optimistic that since it stated it on the menu along with a message to "let the Bobarista know about dietary restrictions" that we would be met with knowledgeable service. The girl was blank faced the entire time. Said they couldn't guarantee if the milk tea would be 100% non-dairy. We were still at that point open to going with something other than a milk tea. So we asked what COULD be 100% non-dairy. And she still was unable to answer that question. Her conclusion was to check if their powder we initially asked about was dairy free, and it wasn't. So at that point we had all the info we needed about this place and left. I don't if it's that the menu is misleading or if it's just that their staff truly doesn't know their menu. Maybe a bit of both. Do not come here if you have dietary restrictions. You will be poisoned. Go to Melody Boba in Puyallup, they are safe. *Visit was on June 18 around 8:30pm read more

Super nice staff - they helped me pick a drink from their endless options of drinks XD Before coming here, I'd only tried matcha at Starbucks and I thought it tasted grassy. However, after being recommended a black sugar matcha I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved it! Will be coming back to try more read more

Super friendly staff! Tried their trix or treat with mochi. It was a well balance of all the flavors. Not a fan of the mochi in my drink only because im a boba and jelly fan. Thought i try something different but the mochi itself was good. I like the interior design! It was great for the 'gram and would be a nice hang out spot. read more

First time coming here, all the gals were awesome. Told them I didn't care for bubble tea last time I tried it. The recommended a strawberry mix and I told them suprise me, they did and it was great. Talked the guy behind me into letting them suprise him too, he also was very pleased. They even made sure to take his allergies into the suprise. I would highly recommend this place. Very happy and cheerful. They have found a new customer and will be recommending drinks soon. read more
