Ordered an acai bowl, was informed their bananas were not ripe. I proceeded to get a bowl, no discount gif the missing ingredient, I'm not sure if banana is in the acai base, but the acai base itself lacked flavor. The topping were minimal. I would not get this bowl again, there are much better options available. read more

Sip + Spoon is located inside the food court in Tacoma Mall. The employee working was very friendly and helpful in helping me decide what type of drink to get. 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! read more

Ordered the. Oolong sea salt crema. Tea has a good flavor, I like it. Sea salt crema is strange-- it was thick like cream for a cake, also tasted like cream from the cake Also I had weird rubbery brown particles in my drink I spat out... that's weird... I did not order any toppings. read more

I tried Sip + Spoon for the first time a few days ago. I got the cookie butter slush with added Oreo dust on top. It was delicious ! I want to go back and try all the other drinks they have. Awesome place to get drink to sip on while shopping around the Tacoma Mall. read more

Mango lovers over here !!! I haven't really tried any of the other option, but the Mangonada is super bomb. In other words, it's amazingly fresh and satisfying. You have other option as well to add on, but I just ordered it as is and It was perfect. They were always quite busy whenever I go , yet they were able to execute on time and drink came out still tasty and refreshing . I was worried it would be run down like the other places I have been. This is probably my third or fourth visit and it never gets old . I probably should try a different flavor hehe. Otherwise , when it doubt and it's your first time and you love mangos . Say no more and order mangonanda :P. They used a really sweet tangy mango on top that and it goes so well with the mixture of the drink. read more

Place is located in the food court area. It hits the spot for me when I don't have time to go any where else for boba. I usually always grab one from here. All the cashiers are friendly and patient when I have a hard time deciding. I also come here to grab some macarons even though it is slightly pricey here and also not particularly fresh. But its good enough for the kids. Most of the drinks I have gotten were tasty and a quick wait. read more

Finally decided to try this place since I was grabbing poké next to it (I usually go to Sharetea). I decided to mix two flavors for the Fruit Tea and got a Strawberry and Passionfruit green tea. I added tapioca and strawberry fruit bits, and adjusted the sugar level to their lowest, which was 25%. My fruit tea was good and flavorful, tasted just how I expected a strawberry passionfruit tea to taste like. The tapioca texture was good, and I like that they have the option to add fruit bits (they also offer mango bits and peach bits). read more

Inside the mall, at the food court. Lactose intolerant and dairy free drinkers rejoice, this place uses dairy free powder creamers for their boba. Which is why I was able to drink anything here the other day. Prices range from 4.00 to 6.00 depending on what you put in it. I ordered a mangonado with boba in it. It was way too sweet. Next time I will ask for 1/4 of what they added into the drink. My friend ordered a hot oolong boba tea, and she had asked prior if it would be sweet. The worker said no, the drink was way too sweet. Which is why I am giving them 3 stars. I think it's hard to gauge sweetness, but they should have a chart to comply like other boba businesses have for the customer's preference. The mangonada does not come with a tamarind straw, but it is worth the extra 1.50 to purchase it. Especially if you like your mangonadas sour! And the extra .50 for boba add on is wonderful. read more

Absolutely delicious! Fast and friendly service. I decided to order the Mangonada and boy was it the best decision I made all day!! It's really good! This drink had real mangoes in it and the mango was chopped perfectly to drink with the straw. Great presentation and amazing drink. They have tons of different options and even serve Macaroons and ice cream. Next time I come back, I definitely want to try the Boba Ice cream. MUST TRY! read more

Customer service 10/10 Experience 10/10 Price 7/10 This isn't a hate review, I would go back. The reason for my 3 star is flavor (I can only speak on one item) I ordered a honey milk tea and you would expect it to be sweet, tasted like just straight up black tea not a grain of sugar. Apart from that great place, maybe just invest in some sweetener??? read more

I ordered the night before and it came at lunch the next day. It looked small, but it was packed with flavor and quality ingredients. I ordered the large or extra large bowl. It had so many add-ons! I wasn't sure what I was ordering, but I wanted it to be authentic Japanese. The sashimi was yummy. It was my birthday week and I was going to celebrate! I ordered the suggested accompanying bottled drink. It was so flavorful and densely packed with tuna, octopus, seaweed, rice, wasabi that I was full before I knew it. I'd like to go to the actual restaurant sometime and bring a friend. read more

I've been to many boba/bubble tea places & this one isn't worth the hype or time. I've requested from plenty of tea places to put no ice in my beverage. Which instead they would fill the room with more tea. To name a few... braganza, sharetea, bubble island, jazen, gong cha. This "sip + spoon" doesn't even make the list. When asked to just fill it with ice anyway they threw attitude saying, "oh now you want ice??" Well yeah, didn't know you would leave me with a half empty cup. Never again. read more

Been here multiple times and the service is just horrible. Where is the work ethic of some of these employees?? After I paid for my poke, I told the cashier that I'll also be getting some boba. She tells me I have to go to that side to order boba. Ok no problem, I'll walk the 10 feet to my left. But she just lets me wait there while she chats with her friend who was behind me (her friend already had a pizza in hand and did not order any poke). Finally when she's done chatting, she walks over to take my order. After I paid for my boba, I told her that I was gonna sit at the table in front of their station so wave me down when my drink is ready. She finished making my drink but decided that it was more important to come out to the food court to finish that conversation with her friend. I walk back to pick up my drink and the male employee didn't know that my drink was in the holder ready to go. Obviously she informed him of absolutely nothing before she went out to socialize. Another time I was there, a different female employee decided to order her coworker to make my drink. He started to prep my drink before I finished paying which was nice. They were flirting with each other for a bit before handing me my drink. When I asked her where was my boba, she quickly responded that it was $0.50 extra. I told her that she JUST rung my drink up with that extra $0.50 charge in which she checked the label and blamed him for not adding any boba. What about more working and less flirting at work? read more

Extremely slow!!!!!!! It's unbelievable. Employees seem like they don't want to be working. Very dissatisfied. I had to wait 15 minutes for a AÇAÍ BOWL!! I will no longer be going here.. they leave their customers standing around and they don't even take your order. They spend a crazy amount of time in the back and not tending the register/front desk. Sorry but this place SUCKS!! read more

I was excited to try this place out but the hype didn't meet the experience. It was actually underwhelming, all I got was a peach black tea with some tapioca and it cost over 5, which I thought was a bit pricey. Maybe I'll have to give them another try with some other drink. read more

Let me just say that I try many boba places and this is by far the best one yet! I go there everyday & I love their drinks! The place looks very clean every time I go. I always get their Thai tea & their iced mango-peach green tea with lychee jelly and I leave wanting more! I also get their macaroon ice cream and it's THE BOMB The crew is awesome & they have great customer service. I'd definitely recommend this place to my friends & family! read more

I am from Hawaii and we have smoothie and açaí places all over the island. So I was very ecstatic when this place opened up. The smoothies are really yummy and since they opened they have been quite busy. They are located in the Tacoma mall food court. Since they have opened we have been here about once or twice a week. Will definitely pass on the good review to others and suggest coming here for a refreshing drink. read more

Finally a decent place to get legit bubble tea! The employees are super nice and helpful. I didn't know what I wanted to order because everything looked so amazing. The girl at the register ran through the menu with me and asked what I was in the mood for. I decided to get one of their fruit teas and a watermelon slush with rainbow jelly for my daughter. I can't wait to go back and try their milk tea and a poke bowl next door to them. So happy with my decision and glad the mall has added something new to the food court! read more

I was so impressed by the quality of what we ordered! Got an order of 253 Pitaya Bowl with coconut milk. It was yummy and could been a bit sweeter. Definitely was refreshing and had a good amount to share. I also shared a strawberry matcha latte with my boyfriend. We are die hard Boba Guys fans and so we were skeptical about the strawberry matcha latte at first. It was actually not bad! Definitely not fresh strawberries but it was still pretty good! I know I'll be back! Finally a somewhat decent bubble tea place in Tacoma! read more

Finally got to check this place out while in town. Service is the typical mall service of young & busy people. Nothing out of the extraordinary. I got the açaí bowl which they offer different topping choices. You can also chose the base such as apple juice or coconut milk to mix your açaí. I learned that there was way to much honey which created a glaze over the toppings and a sweetness overload. If I do return, I'll probably try a boba drink instead. read more

Ordered 6 drinks and had no issues with wait time. Probably the closest to legit boba/bubble/tapioca tea in the Thurston/Pierce County area. And not as expensive and overpriced as a competitor down the road. The woman who took my order was really nice along with the gentleman who was expediting the drinks. Will return here more often =]. read more

FINALLY got to try this place out a couple weeks back. I tried one of their fruit teas where I got to choose to mix two flavors. I asked the cashier what the sweetness level was because every place is different. After some debating I opted to go with 50% of the sweetness and it was just right. I also had a poke bowl at the poke place next door to them, which was really good and fresh! Their cookie butter slush and honeydew slush look amazing ....I will definitely be back to try other drinks. Thank you Tacoma Mall for adding some refreshing establishments to the somewhat outdated food court. read more

I haven't tried everything iv only gotten drinks and the teas are good I really like strawberry black tea which has more of a tea taste and mango green tea which is more fruity however there shakes are so so. The cookie one is kinda chockey when it comes to texture and it's not to die for and macha is a no for me anyways it's like dirty seaweed and strawberry mixed won't help at all but there watermelon blend is good. Don't forget to chew the boba iv heard of a story where a girl didn't and it didn't end well. As for anything else, I haven't tried it yet. read more

My daughter gets a bubble tea everywhere she goes, restaurants, festivals, food truck events and etc. Came here, Tacoma mall location and order a tea with tapioca. It didn't taste anything like she has gotten at several different locations. I understand you are not Starbucks, but should have some similarities, right? Daughter took ONE drink and couldn't drink anymore. I brought it up to the girl that made it and she was more than willing to accommodate (it was obvious that not more than one taste was taken from the drink, their lids are sealed on!) but then a different girl, Pam swiped the drink and went to the back room. Most likely to taste it herself. Seconds later, Pam came back up and told my daughter, "NO, that's right!!! We aren't making another one!!!" Wow!! Being rude to me is one, but directing towards my daughter is another!!! It's just too bad because this is the third time I tried this place and it's safe to say I wont be returning and I would tell others there are other places to get the same bubble tea, if not better but most importantly, BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! These restaurants in the mall change over and over, therefore, I hope this one is gone soon and replaced by a restaurant that has manners and care about customer service!!! Shame on you!!! Your customer service is not ok!!! read more

I would recommend apple juice if you want a tart flavor, but I personally preferred the coconut milk. I'll definitely be going back for more!

Not a bad addition to the Sunrise Village Shopping Center. While I'm sure this side of Meridian welcomes a unique addition there's still some finishing touches and things that could be worked on. When entering they have 2 sides a Drinks side and a Poke side. Having a sign (which may even be in the works I'm not sure) separating the two would be helpful. Also this location has pastries and sweets on the digital menu but they aren't displayed anywhere. So when I saw Macaroons it was disappointing to not see what flavors were available and having to ask and hold up the line. I also asked cashier what a particular drink may taste like she said she wasn't sure. I always think it's important for staff to try and taste so they can help with the experience of customers. A little underwhelming at the amount of Jelly given with our teas but the Açaí bowl was very good! Overall not bad, a bit pricer than Melody Boba on Meridian near the mall. Staff was polite and efficient. They don't enforce the mask rules so to each it's own. Enjoy! read more

Delicious! And great service! Their poke bowls are yummy and their Thai iced tea is too! Guy at the front was super friendly as well!
