    My boyfriend and I were eating lunch next door and I saw that I had this bubble tea place on my bookmarks. So afterwards, we went over to get a fruit tea to share and noticed there were two doorways to enter. A good quarter of the door had cute sleepwear clothes that you can purchase with all types of patterns for all ages and sizes. The rest of the shop had a couple tables with chairs, a long table with several bar stools lined up, and finally the ordering counter. It can get a bit confusing with who is done ordering or has not ordered as the double entryways make it confusing. Another part that threw me off was no greeting or mention from the cashier that they could take our order. When he did acknowledge us, he rudely asks if we were going to order. I was confused as the place was so bright and vibrant, so it felt like whiplash when the tone and attitude of our cashier was so cold and rude. We ordered our drink and the lady who made it was very friendly at the very least. The lychee green tea with 70% sweetness was the best drink to sip after lunch. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and tasted very good, as well as good ice to drink ratio as I did ask for light ice.

    The only bubble tea place in the area with chrysanthemum tea which is my favorite. You get to pick the level of sweetness and ice level. This place is always busy but service is alway fast. There isn't much to this place but a counter to order your drinks and a little sales area. Don't expect to be able to sit and drink your Rea.

    This place was just OK. Can't say too much but it was worth the try. Will I be back?? Eghh...too early to say. They also have a section of merchandise..mainly pajama sets. Anime PJs?? Thought that was strange. But I guess it's a common thing in Asia so I'm not too surprised. Just didn't think I'd actually see it here.

    My sister and I ordered some bubble tea on their website for pick-up. There were no additional fees to order online nor were their online prices higher than what is on their menu. It said it would be ready in 15 minutes, and our orders were indeed ready for pick-up in about 15 minutes (although we did place our order about 30 minutes after the opened). The owner (I'm assuming) called me and my sister to let us know our drinks were ready. I gave an extra star for how friendly the owner was, and how quick and efficient it was to get our seven bubble teas. I ordered one for my cousin, and she, my sister, and I all thought the tapioca was a little too hard. I tried the Grapefruit Green Tea (added tapioca) and Passionfruit Tea w/ Aloe Vera (added crystal boba), both at 30% sugar level. I liked when both, but liked the passionfruit one better; it had more flavor, though still a little sweeter than what I expected for 30% sugar, and the aloe vera and crystal boba went well with it. My sister also thought she can go less sugar next time, but liked all her flavors. We definitely plan on giving more flavors a try, and hopefully, the tapioca will have a better texture next time.

    This place has a fantastic selection of bubble tea. I also liked their website where you can see the entire menu with pictures and prices. I tried Durian Milk Tea with tapioca boba ($5.50 before tax) and Passion Fruit Green Tea with tapioca boba ($5.30 before tax). All prices as of March 2022. The passion fruit tea was very very refreshing! The durian tea smelled horrible as expected but the taste was really good.

    I am new in the area and was craving some delicious taro drink. When we walked it it wasn't busy and they took my order and made it super quick. The customer service was amazing. They welcomed me and assisted me with the order. I will be most definitely be returning again!

    The owners are extremely friendly and have loved supporting this spot since they opened right before the pandemic, I believe. They started remembering my sister and I by name, LOL. Their boba is always fresh and can't beat their number of options for drink varieties. They do a great brown sugar boba which is tough to find in the Tacoma area.

Sample size of one drink each, so take it with a grain of salt. House Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - a very basic green milk tea. Tea was slightly floral, not too sweet, and balanced with the milk. Boba was chewy but lacked flavor. Would probably skip boba here in favor of their other drinks like the einspanners. Black Sesame Einspanner - black sesame cream was smooth and the actual black sesame slowly dropped to the bottom, since grounded sesame will result in physical bits. Slightly sweet but not too much. Similar sweetness with the coffee, a solid ca phe with a perfect amount of condensed milk added to soften the bitterness. Solid drink, would love the black sesame on a tea drink because I chugged the coffee and do not need that much caffeine.

If you're a matcha lover (or just love a good strawberry moment), do yourself a favor and try their strawberry matcha. They have different desserts and sandwiches available as well which I can't wait to try soon! Coffee Kitchen just jumped to the top of my Tacoma favorites!

They make their syrups inhouse, and you can tell, even a basic caramel latte tasted like the most delicate, handcrafted drink. They have fun seasonals, they're a hit or miss obviously based on your preferences, but I love them all so far. My go to drink pairing is a cardamon and ginger latte. The inside is SO HOMEY. It's rare to find coffee shops that haven't succumbed to the hospital white aesthetic, so this is so refreshing on the head. It is the ideal shop to study in. The cups and plates are my favorite thing about this place. The cups are handmade and just so stinking cute. The baristas are so welcoming every single time I come in, they look like they just love their job and love to chat with the customers. The outside of the shop is a mint green which really throws me off because the inside is so cute. The parking situation is a little limited as well, there's a few parking spots near the shop and the rest is street parking. They have a large selection of pastries and some food but know that if you come in the afternoon there probably won't be much left, they go pretty quick. Amazing shop, it's a different aesthetic than what most shops are but it feeds that "homey" craving that I have when I want to study at a coffee shop.

The wait is a little long and I feel that is because they take their time with each cup they make. Seating is scarce so if you plan to enjoy your cup inside, do come in when they open because it fills up really quick. My only recommendation if they look into the reviews is to remove the center table and put 2 more 2 seater tables if it still allows within capacity. Never change. Your coffee is great.

    I tried Sol Boba for the first time since I was in the area for some groceries and banh mì…read moresandwiches so I figured I would stop by since it's my personal mission to visit as many boba shops as possible, being the milk tea lover that I am. The shop itself is pretty small with only a few seats and tables and there wasn't any customers present when I first walked in but it has a nice aesthetic going on so I'd imagine it would be an ideal place to chill with friends if you're craving boba; otherwise, nothing wrong with picking up your fave drinks and skedaddling home either. There was just one employee behind the counter when I entered the shop, but it wasn't busy so it was fine and once more people started coming in after me and a line was forming, another employee showed up to help out. The service was actually really good though, and the worker was super nice, quick, and got my order right even though he was solo at first. I ordered three drinks: the taro Oreo slush, coconut matcha latte, and Thai tea (with boba in the last two), and they were all SOOO good. The drinks were super creamy and flavorful, and the boba was made really well. Like soft and chewy, not hard at all. I also got two macarons (a créme brulée and a matcha), and omgoth, they're not the tiny ones you usually see. They're pretty big and thick, which explains the approximate $4.50 price, but they were totally worth it. Definitely suggest trying at least one. Prices overall felt pretty average for boba, not cheap but not crazy either. Oh yeah, I think the drinks only come in one size (I don't recall there being a Small or Large option). There's a lot of parking since it's in an Asian plaza, but it does get really busy because Sol Boba is right next to H Mart, so there was practically no parking in front of the shop and I feel like the spaces are kinda tight. There is banner/sign saying "under new management" at the front, but since this was my first time visiting, I can't really say much on that? Overall though, it was a great first-time experience since the drinks were delish so I will definitely come back!

    Really disappointed, especially for a nearly $7 drink…read more The cup size versus the actual amount of drink you receive is honestly ridiculous. There was an excessive amount of empty space at the top, which made it feel very misleading and poor value for the price. It also was not like this before the new management took over.
