Would definitely come back to this shop!

Inside is a nice size and they have seating to gather and visit. They have some unique signature coffee drinks but I went with a standard latte. I liked that they had 2% milk (so many places only have whole or non fat milk). Barista was super friendly/outgoing. You could tell she enjoyed her job. The coffee was probably 3 stars. It wasn't hot enough for me and Starbucks espresso is better. But with the great service I gave them 4 stars.

This is a mid-sized boba tea shop that also sells waffles and mochi donuts! Their drink menu is…read morehuge-- with awesome customization options that include having no ice in your drink (a $.75 charge), and they sell a 24 oz size. The mochi donut flavors that I saw were : funnel cake, churro, taro, cookie butter, and coconut fudge. You can order using the self service kiosk and use Apple pay, which I prefer to do. Menu prices are about the same on DoorDash, which is great considering there are sometimes huge markups to balance out their fees. (Cost): $4.85 + tip (Location): It is in a very busy shopping area near Trader Joe's and Safeway. There is plenty of parking, but the area gets extremely packed, I prefer to park a bit away and then walk there. The area is very nice-- I would describe it has middle class to upper middle class. I love how beautifully decorated this shop is. Seating consists of a medium size couch, two benches, some seating by the widow l, and a table with 3 chairs. (Service): Excellent! Despite being busy working on items, the employee greeted me as I entered and was very polite when he gave me my order. What I didn't like was how rude one of the delivery drivers was. He greeted them and they simply shove their phones in his face without saying anything after yelling for him to come from the back. I hope drivers like that learn some manners or are removed from the shop. (Food): 16 oz Thai Tea Creme Brulee (5/5)-- according to the self checkout machine this drink is quite popular and I can see why! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, and the boba wasn't too soft or firm. I only wish I had gotten the bigger size.

The drinks were solid I went with the Sakura strawberry matcha, which had a nice balance of floral and sweet without being overpowering. My wife got an Americano with coconut juice, which was unique and surprisingly refreshing. Service was great right from the start friendly, welcoming, and quick. You can tell they're putting effort into the customer experience even while still new. The space is what really stands out. It's clean, modern, and interactive they've got a photo machine where you can take pictures and pin them on the wall, plus chalk provided so you can write or leave messages on their blackboard-style walls. It gives the place a fun, community vibe that makes you want to hang out a bit longer. They also offer desserts, chips, and even have a drive-thru, which is a nice bonus for convenience. Restrooms were clean, which is always a plus.

There is a parking lot for the cafe. It's a a small parking lot and the cafe itself is small, too. There is some seating available and outlets! A cute, cozy place to study. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha with oat milk. My sister ordered the iced ube matcha with oat milk and a honey cake. The matcha was impressively very green. I didn't ask if it was ceremonial matcha. However, given how green the drink stayed after we mixed it, makes me assume it is ceremonial. Loved the strawberry matcha! Very sweet and strong! Service was great! The girl working was nice and made sure to confirm if I wanted an ice drink, the type of milk, and informed me that the oat milk was an extra charge. Will definitely be coming back to try more drinks soon!

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.
