I only lived here for barely a year, but the boba was so squishy and sweet! I got a mix of chocolate Nutella strawberry and omg...the drink was soooo good. Still think about it 'til this day! I hate that there are no outlets here, so could not do my work :/ lots of booths, yes, but the other half of the table are chairs. easy parking and a bit of dim lighting. it seemed off-white of a shade, which I no like as much because it makes everything look bland

Food Funny, how Yelp kept on harping about this place, and…read morekept popping up in my profile. We went there with the presumption that it was very good. Sadly, both strawberry and macha slush did not have flavor, it was very faint. Service The staff were not welcoming or professional didn't say thank you, or here is your order. I understand having a bad day, but being in a customer service environment, you must fake it to make it, sometimes. Ambiance Clean and noise level was at a minimum. I don't recommend this place not so much of the service, but the slushes were horrible. I don't understand how this place has close to 5 star.

Tealand Boba & Smoothie is located in the same spot as Fresh Pho, just a heads up because I was a…read morelittle confused during my first visit trying to figure out where the entrance was. Once you realize they share the space, it makes more sense. The service here is pretty straightforward, so don't expect an overly friendly "hi, how are you" kind of interaction. It looked like there were only about two employees working and making drinks, but they still got the job done. It might take a few minutes for someone to take your order if they're busy finishing other drinks, but they seemed focused on getting orders made rather than chatting, which I can respect. One thing to note: they don't take cash, only card. Not a big deal for me personally, but something to keep in mind before coming in. There's a decent selection of drinks. I usually love ordering matcha, but for some reason their ceremonial matcha drinks can't be customized with ice level or toppings-- not even to add boba. I didn't ask why and ended up ordering a honeydew slush with boba instead, while my husband got the taro Oreo slush with no toppings. It did take a bit of time between waiting to order and waiting for the drinks to be made, but the quality made up for it. The drinks tasted great and clearly weren't rushed. There are a few chairs where you can sit while waiting, which is nice, but the waiting area could use a little tidying up. There were quite a few supply boxes trailing into that space, almost like there isn't enough storage in the back. Overall though, we both enjoyed our drinks and finished them completely, which is always a good sign. I'd definitely come back again when I'm craving a refreshing boba drink.

My family and I took a day trip to Olympia to hang out. On the way back to Seattle we decided we…read morewanted some boba for the ride. I yelped some places and this place caught my eyes so we gave it a try. We ordered a jasmine green tea with cheese crema w/boba, tealand signature milk tea w/lychee jelly, Thai tea latte w/lychee jelly and the last drink was recommended by the staff was a taro Oreo blended. I asked the staff if they had Oreo smoothie only just because my youngest son does not like bubble tea beside Oreo smoothie. She told me that the taro Oreo is more like an Oreo drink the taro is very light. So I gave it a tried. All my kids love the drinks. At first my youngest was like the drink is purple I told him to just try it. And he loved it, so thank you to the staff. Will definitely come back if I ever visit again.

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.

Came here around 3pm on Sunday and ordered the veggie tofu pho, brown sugar crème brûlée bubble tea, lemon soda, beef pho, and brown sugar milk tea. Everything was delicious !!! I loved the pho.

The drinks were sooo yummy too !!! The service was a little slow but it is definitely worth the wait.

It's in a small strip mall off the main drag, so you can easily pass it by without noticing it's there. That being said, their menu is huge. Their bibimbap is off the hook.

I can't really pick a favorite because it's all so good. Again, haven't dined in here, but the place is always clean and the service seems friendly and helpful. It's a bit of a drive for me to get here, but the food is definitely worth it.

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.

The chicken was really rubbery so it wasn't pleasant and I didn't end up finishing my meal. My friend enjoyed the pho and she would get again. The service is okay, you order at the counter so there's no main service beyond that. They did offer to fill our water so that's always a bonus! The ambience is pretty cozy and casual. Nothing special so good for a last minute dinner or a treat after a long week.
