Vegetarian/ vegan friendly. Kid friendly.

I came in ready to spend money, but was met with poor attitudes and staff who clearly didn't want to be there. How are you a smoothie spot out of bananas at 11am? And worse, why am I only finding that out after I place my order? Given I called ahead of time asking about the smoothie bowls being in stock, given their website said everything was out. There's too much potential in our community to let businesses fall short on the basics. If you're going to charge high prices, train your team, keep your inventory stocked, and lead with hospitality. Because right now, it feels like we're paying extra just to be disappointed. Nonetheless, the smoothie bowls were fresh, tasted good, but I won't be returning given the poor customer service. You would have to pay those girls to smile. Smh

I'd even go as far to say that it's the best boba spot in the Tacoma area. They have smoothie, slushies, tea, milk tea, and etc. The drinks are quite filling, so I usually have no room for food! (Cost): $8.27 + tip (Location): The shop itself is on the smaller end, with a few tables inside for seating. It's located in a very busy shopping area-- a little bit down the street from Tacoma Mall. It gets insanely busy during the weekend, so plan your trip accordingly. The good thing is that there is a lot of parking. (Service): I have been here quite a bit and the employees have always been pleasant to interact with. I literally cannot recall a time where I had a bad experience, and the drink was made in less than 5 minutes. I don't know if it's ran by the same people, but I went to a Bobalust near Tukwila that also had excellent service. (Food): Summer Saas (5/5)-- a fruit tea drink with peach pieces in it. I also added in some black boba. I usually stick to the Orange Dreamsicle, but I decided to try something new and I am so glad that I did. This drink was amazing-- not too sweet but also not too tart. I will definitely order it again. Orange Dreamsicle (5/5)-- a smoothie type drink made with vanilla and orange. Also has fruity jelly pieces at the bottom. An excellent drink that reminds me of those old school orange cream soda floats made with ice cream.

Belly Smoothie Co. is not your average smoothie spot - this is wellness, luxury, and flavor all in…read moreone cup I tried the Blue Belly smoothie and I'm still thinking about it. The taste is insanely smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. You can tell immediately this is made with high quality ingredients. What really sold me is that it's not just good, it's functional and packed with collagen and vitamin D3, so you're literally sipping on a glow up. Yes, it's on the pricier side but this is one of those "you get what you pay for" moments. No artificial taste, no shortcuts just clean, intentional ingredients that you can actually taste. The whole vibe feels elevated and health-forward without being intimidating. If you care about what you're putting in your body but still want it to taste amazing, this place delivers. They also serve energy drinks, coffee and matcha so l will absolutely be back to try more! Worth every dollar. Period.

Belly Smoothie is a smoothie and coffee/juice/tea bar located in the Waterfront Market at Ruston in…read moreTacoma. It is a small, woman owned business that serves a customizable menu that is also aesthetically pleasing. It was quite hard to navigate the way to the store front walking from Ruston Way Waterfront, since the area is still being renovated. What looked like it would be a short walk over, ended up being a way longer walk with all the fencing still up. Once we finally arrived at the Waterfront Market at Ruston, I ordered the Blue Belly, which includes pineapple, banana, avocado, agave, vanilla protein, collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin D3 + K2, and spirulina. The barista asked for what kind of milk I wanted in the smoothie, but I don't remember if I defaulted to whole milk or asked for an alternative. My total ended up being $14.31. All the smoothies are served in 20oz cups, so as of right now you can't change the size. The smoothie was very banana forward, as I expected whenever a smoothie has banana in it. The smoothie was good regardless and tasted very fresh. One suggestion I have to make it easier for the staff and customers at Belly Smoothie is to write down the customers name on the cups. There was a bit of confusion when solely the drink names were announced for customers to grab.

I came here wanting to try the Strawberry Matcha Latter but found out they can't make it into a ice smoothie, so I decided to try a Ice Blended Pick 2 - which I got Strawberry and Mango with lychee jellies. The texture of the ice blended drink was smooth and creamy, there were not chunks of ice like other places tend to have. The flavors were spot on! The drink was the perfect combination of both flavors merges together and the lychee jellies were flavorful as well. My fiancé got the Strawberry Tea with lychee jellies and he enjoyed his drink as well. I'll definitely be back to try different drinks!
