Still five stars all of the way and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

I understand that it will be fine for some but I much preferred the casual service/pay ahead model. The menu has also changed, I was bummed to see the Goat Cheese Panini got axed.

Descriptions of the milk teas included sweet, salty, good, and pleasant. The quality of the Vietnamese coffee was dark and smoky, just like I like it. But it came with jellies on the bottom which I wouldn't have requested and don't like. Otherwise, the place was pretty dead and they were out of my first two coffee choices, which were egg and ube.

I got an iced white chocolate americano with cream and it was seriously the best coffee I've ever had. The syrup, to coffee, to ice, to cream ratio should be studied. And not to forget the fiesta breakfast burrito... served with a small packet of cholula and garlic cream cheese. I inhaled it and literally dreamt about it a few nights later. I soon came to find out that the burritos are fresh, never frozen, which is so awesome. You can definitely taste it. I also got a Wide Awake Cafe hoodie and LOVE it. It's made with high quality material -- thick, soft, and so freaking cute. This business is obviously curated with love because everything is at the top of its game.

I really like the employees because they were always friendly, polite, and understood that many of us were traveling to work and were in a hurry. Unfortunately, I had several negative experiences with the person who I was told was the manager. On multiple occasions, she was standing inside taking inventory while there were long lines on both sides of the building. On one occasion, the customer in front of me politely reminded her that people were trying to get to work and that inventory could be done during a slower time. Her response to that customer was rude and dismissive. I initially chalked it up to a one-time occurrence and continued coming back. Then, on another visit, she was the person working the window. When I pulled up, she asked, "Can I make you your white chocolate mocha or something?" I politely explained that I had never ordered a coffee drink there and that I always get one of the energy drink along with the other four ladies riding with me. Her response was simply, "Whatever. What do you need?" That interaction was the last we all stopped by there. It's unfortunate because I genuinely like the other girls who work there. They have always been friendly, professional, and considerate of the fact that customers may be on their way to work and need timely service. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because one employee's attitude can make a big difference in whether customers choose to keep coming back.

They had the Christmas Cookie Chai as a holiday special, though, so that's what I ended up ordering. Phenomenal taste and just the right temperature right when I received it. Also, since Cafe Elite is a chain, I think they are able to have slightly lower prices than other one-off coffee stands. Great work, team!

As someone who has had boba across several states, Tacoma generally doesn't really have the best…read moreboba options, so Bobalust is definitely an anomaly. 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.
