Okay, I gotta say..LaBoba is the best boba I've found in Lacey so far!…read moreI've been on the hunt for a yummy boba spot ever since moving to Washington a little over a month ago, and I can confidently say this is the best one I've tried in Lacey so far. Even better, it's only about a 15 minute drive from home for me, so I already know I'll be coming back regularly! The shop was starting to get busy when I first arrived with my kiddo, and by the time we settled down in the back with our orders brought to us, all the tables had filled up. Despite the busyness, the atmosphere still felt relaxed and welcoming, giving off vibes that encourages you to actually sit and enjoy your drink without feeling rushed, if you decide to stay. They even have board games available if you want to hang out a bit longer. The service here is spectacular!! The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell because they take their time with you (no pressure when ordering) and are more than happy to answer questions. I ordered the crème brûlée milk tea, which already comes with boba and crème brûlée foam, but I was curious about the ube foam too. The staff member walked me through all my options and helped me land on a half crème brûlée, half ube foam combo, which ended up being so creamy and delicious. I appreciate them being so patient with me because I can be a little indecisive with what I want lol. My son ordered the Thai tea with boba and tried the ube foam for the first time. He felt like the foam was a bit overpowering for his drink (all you could see was ube foam after he mixed his drink instead of the standard orange Thai tea), but honestly, I loved how generous they were with it for our drinks. If you're an ube fan, you won't be disappointed! We also shared a crème brûlée croiffle, and wowwee, that was a treat that totally hit the spot for my sweet tooth. The sauce was rich, sweet, and creamy, making it the perfect dessert to go along with our drinks. Once again, the staff did not disappoint and I was pleased how attentive they remained throughout our visit. They even promptly cleared our trash and plates without us having to ask, which just reiterates how on top of their customer service they are. First visit was such a great experience! Delicious drinks, amazing service, and a cozy vibe. I am totally returning and I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quality boba place in the area!

I got a late-night drink with boba at this spot with my friend. I was pleasantly surprised by how…read morebright and inviting it still felt even though it was late. They make it very clear that they are open -- the lights are bright, and as soon as you walk in, the staff is already prepared to take your order at the front counter. They were also actively cleaning tables to make sure customers had a place to sit. The seating was nicer than what you usually see in typical boba shops. The regular chairs had padding with a suede-like material, which made them super comfortable. They also have a bench-style seating area where you can sit back and relax. Overall, the space felt very living room-esque. As for the boba, it was great -- soft, chewy, and cooked well. The milk tea was sweet just the way that I like it, and I did not even have to specify a sweetness level; I just got the standard. The ice level was also perfect -- not too much -- so I actually got a full drink instead of mostly ice. I rated this place five stars mainly because of the staff. They were extremely attentive. I brought in outside food (not sure if that is technically allowed...oops), but they went out of their way to bring me a ladle, utensils, and chopsticks so I could choose what I preferred. I did not feel uncomfortable to ask for anything, and their overall energy made it feel like I could genuinely hang out with them one-on-one. They were watchful, friendly, and easygoing. I also thought it was adorable that they have a big statue of their mascot in the middle of the shop -- it really gives personality to the place and lets you know exactly where you are.

The Korean chicken turned out to be fried chicken wings coated with a disappointing sauce served with some sliced cabbage and a small scoop of white rice.

It was still a bit too sweet but not terrible. We tried the assam milk tea bubble pops and the flavor was mild but good. Great treat on a cold and rainy day. Not too sweet or strongly flavored. The croffles look tasty- next time! They also had some cute claw machines and some fun games. Really cute spot with lots of fun drink options. Also- cute decor!

Boba actually squishy because cooked thoroughly and milk tea was the right level of sweet. Vietnamese coffee is hella strong. Had three sips of it from my friend's order and I was up until 0130, I think. Only 3 sips! On top of it, we got free matcha milk tea because the staff accidentally made a lot and that tasted soooo good... Even when I drank it much later. And I am not the biggest fan of matcha! Clean place with board games available. Good hangout spot if u in Lacey and want a sweet treat.

I walked over to the walk up window and was met with a large smile, friendly service, and just good vibes. Wonderful start to the day (sometimes afternoon) so I'd recommend the cheer. First time to any of the locations, but have heard many great things about them and their non coffee drinks. Protein Golden Eagle - had to go with one of the favorites here but felt like I should get some protein in. Coffee was decent but definitely overwhelmingly sweet. Not overly different from a coffee with strong creamer, but a delicious on the road break which is always welcome. I imagine this is a good starter drink when uncertain but would branch out into other specialties.

It was my first visit to Braganza inside Capital Mall on Saturday, and I want to recognize the…read moreamazing staff. 3 out of the 4 workers that day were truly wonderful. There were two cashiers, the boy making drinks in the back, and one woman at the pickup counter who we assume was the manager since she looks older and was directing everyone else in a very bossy way. The cashier who helped us was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. She smiled the whole time, didn't rush us while ordering, and was so sweet to my son. The other cashier and the boy making drinks were also friendly, polite, and communicated well. The three of them were smiling, interacting happily, and had great teamwork. It honestly impressed us and gave the store such a warm, positive vibe. The drinks tasted great, the boba was soft, and the decorations were cute. We didn't have cash to tip and they didn't have tip on cards, but the cashier told us a Yelp review would help them, and they deserve it. The sad part: Our order was #88. After the "manager" handed out #87, we assumed the drinks were being given out in order, so we stepped up to the counter. She placed the taro smoothie down, so we picked it up, thinking it was ours. Instead of explaining kindly, she snapped at us, "We didn't call your order yet," and took the drink back from my son in a very aggressive way. It was our first time there and we genuinely didn't know they only go by calling the number. Her tone felt rude and unnecessarily harsh. When our order was ready, she yelled out the number even though we were standing right in front of her, then turned away without acknowledging us at all. Her attitude felt completely different from the rest of the team, and it made the moment uncomfortable. Still, I'm giving 5 stars because the other three workers were amazing and truly made our visit enjoyable. They deserve all the appreciation and recognition. Without that last moment, the experience would have been perfect.

I'm rating Boba and Beyond based on my overall experience and, of course, the taste of the boba…read more 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.

I came here for a bubble tea. It's bright and cheery and very reminiscent of the bubble tea shops…read morethat 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.

Always the og waffle! So crispy and delish! I even got my 12 yo hooked on it. Probably not very hard for dessert drinks and food but we have boba dates here and its great.

Jade Lounge is of course a boba and milk tea spot, but it's a little bit different imo from many of…read morethe other boba and milk tea places that I've gone to. 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!
