And the Dubai chocolate croffle was crispy, buttery, and pure dessert decadence. The vibes were clean and cozy, the staff were super friendly, and I already have my eye on their smoothies for next time. Mauritius Tea, you officially won me over!

This is a mid-sized boba tea shop that also sells waffles and mochi donuts! Their drink menu is…read morehuge-- with awesome customization options that include having no ice in your drink (a $.75 charge), and they sell a 24 oz size. The mochi donut flavors that I saw were : funnel cake, churro, taro, cookie butter, and coconut fudge. You can order using the self service kiosk and use Apple pay, which I prefer to do. Menu prices are about the same on DoorDash, which is great considering there are sometimes huge markups to balance out their fees. (Cost): $4.85 + tip (Location): It is in a very busy shopping area near Trader Joe's and Safeway. There is plenty of parking, but the area gets extremely packed, I prefer to park a bit away and then walk there. The area is very nice-- I would describe it has middle class to upper middle class. I love how beautifully decorated this shop is. Seating consists of a medium size couch, two benches, some seating by the widow l, and a table with 3 chairs. (Service): Excellent! Despite being busy working on items, the employee greeted me as I entered and was very polite when he gave me my order. What I didn't like was how rude one of the delivery drivers was. He greeted them and they simply shove their phones in his face without saying anything after yelling for him to come from the back. I hope drivers like that learn some manners or are removed from the shop. (Food): 16 oz Thai Tea Creme Brulee (5/5)-- according to the self checkout machine this drink is quite popular and I can see why! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, and the boba wasn't too soft or firm. I only wish I had gotten the bigger size.

This time, however, we were in the area and decided to go here after our dinner with some friends. There are lots of tea places around and this one is up there with those that I would go to.

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!

There's a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a bit longer rather than just grab and go. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive. Now to the drink the banana pudding matcha was the highlight. It struck a great balance smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The banana flavor came through naturally without overpowering the matcha, which still held its earthy, rich profile. You can tell care went into crafting it. Overall, a solid experience. Great drink, clean environment, and friendly service. Sen is definitely a spot I'd return to.

The drinks were solid I went with the Sakura strawberry matcha, which had a nice balance of floral and sweet without being overpowering. My wife got an Americano with coconut juice, which was unique and surprisingly refreshing. Service was great right from the start friendly, welcoming, and quick. You can tell they're putting effort into the customer experience even while still new. The space is what really stands out. It's clean, modern, and interactive they've got a photo machine where you can take pictures and pin them on the wall, plus chalk provided so you can write or leave messages on their blackboard-style walls. It gives the place a fun, community vibe that makes you want to hang out a bit longer. They also offer desserts, chips, and even have a drive-thru, which is a nice bonus for convenience. Restrooms were clean, which is always a plus.

There is a parking lot for the cafe. It's a a small parking lot and the cafe itself is small, too. There is some seating available and outlets! A cute, cozy place to study. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha with oat milk. My sister ordered the iced ube matcha with oat milk and a honey cake. The matcha was impressively very green. I didn't ask if it was ceremonial matcha. However, given how green the drink stayed after we mixed it, makes me assume it is ceremonial. Loved the strawberry matcha! Very sweet and strong! Service was great! The girl working was nice and made sure to confirm if I wanted an ice drink, the type of milk, and informed me that the oat milk was an extra charge. Will definitely be coming back to try more drinks soon!

While I have cafes I prefer in Lakewood, I wanted to try something new, so I found EM Boba & Coffee after looking up places online I ordered the Vietnamese coffee with the egg cream topping. I go to quite a few Vietnamese cafes in Seattle, so I have my standards. Unfortunately, their coffee did not meet my standards at all. The coffee tasted like it was made straight from one of those Vietnamese instant coffee packets. I do drink that here and there at home, but it's not the kind of taste I want from a cafe. The egg cream was pleasant though and helped make it taste better. I probably wouldn't come back for the coffee, but I'm still interested to see what the other drinks were like.

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!

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.
