The menu was very straightforward and easy to navigate, which made ordering quick and easy. Finding street parking was surprisingly simple, and the shop was just a short walk away, making it a convenient little stop during the day. The service was also super fast and friendly. Since it was my first time visiting, they recommended the Lychee Blast fruit tea, and it ended up being the perfect choice. It was incredibly refreshing. They also have a huge variety of boba drinks to choose from along with other desserts and treats. Their croffles especially caught my eye, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try one next time. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the mood for something sweet and refreshing!

I LOVED the rock ice that they included in the drinks. For some reason, it makes a huge difference to the drink! The ambiance was great. Nice lighting and decorations.

My son and I have stopped by a few times now, and we've enjoyed our drinks each time. We've mostly stuck with milk teas, so I can't really speak for the rest of the menu, but the ones we've tried have been tasty (usually taro and thai tea). I wouldn't say the tea itself is particularly high quality or anything that will blow your mind, but it does the job when you're craving a casual milk tea. The tapioca boba has always had the texture it should: nice and chewy without being too hard or mushy, so no complaints there i guess. I also really like that they have stamp cards. I'm a sucker for a loyalty card because it gives me more incentive to stop by whenever I happen to be in Gig Harbor. The shop itself is pretty small, with just a few seats inside, but it usually hasn't been too busy whenever we've visited. There's also a kiosk you can order from. In general, Pearl Tea is a reliable 4-star boba spot for me. Nothing fancy or life-changing, but the drinks are good, the boba is properly chewy, and I would stop by again when I'm in the area.

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!

Never had a mochi but it is a soft chewy donut. Plenty of donuts at 1p, which is hard to find. The space is small, no internal seating, so take and go or potential outdoor seating for better weather days. The servers were busy but very nice and quick to get the donuts and coffee. The coffee is local (Olympic Coffee) and they also sell boba teas. Highly recommend to stop by and support the small business while shopping or on your walk. I did not know of this spot, just happen to be next store shopping and wanted a coffee and donut. Understand these are gourmet donuts and not a typical shop or grocery store. They are higher on the costs but worth it for this type of store.

A friend of mine suggested Toast Mi. The restaurant sits towards the back beside the back end of Starbucks in Proctor. The restaurant has about 4 to 5 tables, small but plenty of space. Service was really quick. I had just returned from three weeks in Vietnam so seeing that the sandwiches were named after all the cities that we had just visited was pretty fun. I did not enjoy the few banh mi's I tried in Vietnam, mainly because the meat was never really lean. I felt the bánh mì at Toast Mi was probably one of the best that I've ever had. I ordered the one with pork (the Mekong) and asked for no pate. The sandwich is absolutely huge and it was beyond delicious. I would highly recommend! I'll definitely be back!

There is parking right in front of the shop, as well as around the UWT campus. It should also be easily accessible via public transportation. The shop itself is small, but cozy. There is a self-ordering kiosk inside, but it had a sign displaying that it was not quite ready to be used by customers since it is newly opened. We had no issues with placing our order with the girl working the register. I ordered the Oolong Milk Tea with Grass Jelly, and my sister ordered the Matcha Latte. Both drinks were great, and they have quite a big menu of drinks. The Matcha Latte was really good. It tasted very authentic compared to other places. It is quite comparable to Jin Jin Matcha's quality and taste of matcha. The Oolong Milk Tea with Grass Jelly was good. The oolong tea was fragrant, and I liked that. The grass jelly added texture to my drink, which I enjoyed.

I don't live nearby, but I ended up grabbing a stamp card, so there's a good chance I'll come back eventually for the drinks alone. I ordered a chrysanthemum tea with boba along with a banh mi. The drink was probably the highlight of my visit since it was super refreshing, flavorful, and made pretty quickly too. Definitely quenched my thirst. The ordering process was a little awkward though. There was one guy working the front and I had a hard time hearing/understanding him at first (maybe he was speaking too quietly?), but it became easier once we switched to Vietnamese. He also didn't seem to recognize the drink I wanted even after I gave the menu number, so I had to point it out on the menu before he could ring it up correctly. I'm guessing he might've been new. The banh mi took longer than expected considering the place was empty, probably because from what I could see, there was only one lady in the back making food. Taste-wise, it was decent but nothing especially memorable for me, and the size felt smaller compared to other places I've ordered from. I think the banh mi only came in one size. Usually, I'd order a Large so maybe that's why this one seems small. There were at least a couple tables inside so I could sit and wait. I still had a good experience though and would come back mainly for the drinks because that chrysanthemum tea was genuinely really good. They have tons of options so I wanna try out their other drinks too.
