Jodo Tea - mango cloud and heart eyes - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We stopped by Jodo Tea for a quick drink on the way down to Portland, giving us a caffeine boost for the somehow 5-6 hour drive down (that's normally ~3 hours). This was at 3PM on Friday and it wasn't busy at all inside. We were the only customers, and after ordering at the single kiosk (the employees are happy to answer questions, though), we were on our way. Classic Milk Tea, 50% Ice, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($6.25) - The milk tea is very sweet even at half sweet, although not to the point of being cloying. It's probably equivalent of 100% sweet at the average boba shop. The tea itself is a little malty and there's a milky and caramelized flavor mixed with a slightly herbal spiced flavor. It's very foamy on top and has pretty good body. The boba is a little firmer than I like but not bad. It has a pretty good bounce, but rather than being smooth on the outside, it's quite craggy, pitted with craters. The boba is clearly sweetened well, which probably added to the base 50% sweetness. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Jodo Tea is a good place to pick up boba in Tacoma. It serves decently flavorful tea with bouncy pearls. I certainly don't regret visiting for a much needed drink to deal with the traffic! Bathrooms - Single unisex room read more

Found another hidden gem in Tacoma when stumbling upon an ad to try their matcha lattes! It wasn't too bad; however, I'd want to order their signature teas or slushes to try next time instead. The place is a cute spot to study or catch up with friends, though, if you are looking for a not-too-busy spot in the Tacoma area! read more

Jodo Tea - matchas! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Jodo Tea had their one year anniversary back in April. To celebrate their anniversary, they had a buy one, get one free deal! I don't come here often, but the times I have, it's always a friendly and positive interaction with the employees. Since the last time I visited, they have a few mini claw machines inside. Still keeping up with their simple and clean interior! After finishing a workout at LA Fitness, my sister and I walked over to order a Strawberry Matcha and Hokkaido Dream with boba. The Strawberry Matcha is made with 2% milk, but can be substituted with oat milk for an extra 50¢. The Hokkaido Dream is a creamy black milk tea with caramel and vanilla. These two drinks are in their signature tea portion of the menu, minus the boba. My sister added the topping to her drink. Both drinks were delicious in their own way. read more

I saw a TikTok a month or so ago posted by the owners of Jodo Tea saying they recently opened but haven't had much customers. So I commented, asking if they had Thai tea (blended) and they replied they did... So finally being in the area, stopped by today and glad I did! When we walked in, I was glad to see that there were customers and am hopeful service has picked up for them because based on service and product - this is a much needed addition to the area! I, of course, ordered a Thai tea blended drink with brown sugar boba. It was flavorful and blended perfectly - no chunks of ice or undistributed flavor (where all the flavor sinks to the bottom and there's none left once you get towards the end of the drink). The flavor was uniform throughout. My only issue was the drink was overly sweet but being my first time trying, I didn't think to ask for it less sweet but next time I definitely would order at 50% less sweetness. The brown sugar boba were fresh and chewy. Overall, glad Jodo is a little closer to me and in the Tacoma area as my original go to was in Puyallup and that's a far drive just for boba. Definitely recommend and would be back to try other drinks! read more

Jodo Tea - Sunset Signature Fruit Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

An easy storefront for boba tea pick up in Tacoma, WA. Bubble tea has become a road trip essential, but sadly I've struggled to find great options outside of Southern California. I did my research and landed on Jodo for my tea fix. After some intense debate, I ordered the Strawberry Guava tea with light ice and medium sweetness. I also added in honey boba as a topping. The Jodo team crafted my bevy perfectly. Not too sweet, but the green tea wasn't bland either. I liked the boba, but thought it could be a bit chewier. read more

First time here today, as this was on my list of places to check out! The store is in an unassuming strip mall right by Starbucks on 72nd and where Hosmer ends. But more accurately in between Angle nails and Edible Arrangements. Parking can get a little difficult since it can be a high traffic area, but there are a few dedicated spots for 15 min parking so you can grab and go. The drinks were pretty good! I love places that let you choose the ice and sugar levels. The staff was super friendly and the store was clean. Go get your Jodo on! Peep the menu below and give it a try! read more

Great new boba spot in Tacoma! I was super excited to try this place out and made an appearance for the grand opening. The overall vibe is a casual and modern ambiance. Nicely decorated with minimalistic design. The cashier that took my order, Anna, was very friendly and helpful. Customer service is nothing short of amazing here. I ordered the sunset refresher with lychee jelly and classic milk tea and they both tasted great! Such good flavors. The sunset refresher was, in fact, very refreshing and flavorful. The milk tea had a nice taste with a subtle, yet delicious black tea flavor. The boba tasted super fresh with great texture. Excited to come here again! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! All I can say is the vibe is there and the drinks are good. It's small and quant but it's fairly new so it will take some time to get there. I have never really stayed in store too long and usually take my drinks to go so I'm not really a good judge for that. They also have a new system that allows you to order without talking to anyone, if you're introverted. Their TikToks are funny and that's also what keeps me going, granted I've been going here since they've opened so I've loved them from the start. read more

Jodo Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I wanted some bubble tea, and my cousin brought me here since it was on our way home, and I haven't tried it yet. I got the Lychee Blossom and the Ruby, and my cousin also got the Lychee Blossom. We both got the crystal boba in our Lychee Blossom, and for some reason, it had a weird aftertaste. And the texture of the tapioca was okay. The flavors of the drinks were good. I think it may have been a weird batch for me, and I will probably give it another try. read more

Always have a great experience here. I haven't tried all drinks but I know I been here more than once all times I have a great experience. They also started a punch card that allows you to get a free drink once you purchase 9 then your 10th drink is free! Great customer service as well. read more

Jodo Tea - Creamy Taro - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I tried Jodo for the first time and I don't know if it was just a bad batch of drinks or what... but our taro drinks were BITTER... Really unfortunate and disappointing as we paid almost $8 a cup. In addition, one of our drinks had a neon pink dot in the drink (not sure what it was but it definitely wasn't something edible). I won't be coming back because of this poor experience. read more

Jodo Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

JODO TEA is a cute boba shop. They have a very aesthetic sign for your IG pics too. Drinks are tasty and they even have oat milk for the lactose intolerant and/or vegan community. They also said their milk teas are a non-dairy base. Staff seem friendly. I can see myself going here whenever I'm craving for matcha boba or after/before I visit Wapato Park. Tip: Be mindful when driving to/from the location. Because of the location, it can be hard to leave when it's busy. But I didn't find parking to be a problem when I went in the evening. read more
