Sooooo yummy, Diego is my favorite he always makes my day! Will come again! thank youuu

$9 for a small drink? The quality has gone down so much since the new ownership. I hope they are seeing the more recent reviews, the drinks have become pretty bad and the taste does not justify the cost. Cashier was not even focused tonight for whatever reason, ordered a blueberry Matcha, but not sure why he put strawberry. Hope it becomes the place that it once was known for, I will definitely not recommend people to be checking this place out anymore. What a shame. At this point, I would recommend people go to Happy Lemon. read more

Sol Boba - Ordered a blueberry Matcha.. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Really disappointed, especially for a nearly $7 drink. The cup size versus the actual amount of drink you receive is honestly ridiculous. There was an excessive amount of empty space at the top, which made it feel very misleading and poor value for the price. It also was not like this before the new management took over. Portion sizes and overall value have definitely gone downhill. read more

Place is under new management as of 3/1/26. Still tastes good as the first time I tried them years ago! Ordered the Thai tea and Honeydew with coffee jelly. Taste is different but in a good way and still enjoyed both. Cashier was nice, greeted us when we enteted. Took about 2 minutes each for each drink to be ready. Overall, we recommend! read more

Sol Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Stopped in at Sol Boba after a quick shop at H Mart. Sign says new management! Shop had some other customers but we were helped right away. I was looking for less sweet taro milk tea so they recommended the ube milk tea (with the note that they don't have sweetness options but it's not too sweet!) - with boba! My ube milk tea with tapioca pearls was sooo good, my husband and son thought it was great too! The boba was so soft and yummy! I will definitely come back. read more

Sol Boba - Ube milk tea with tapioca pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

I tried Sol Boba for the first time since I was in the area for some groceries and banh mì sandwiches 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! read more

Got the strawberry Matcha here and it was OK as you can tell from the color, the flavor wasn't too strong, it was more milky with a weak Matcha flavor. I'll come back and try their boba drinks. read more

They must've remodeled since the last time I've been in. Cute little shop with a pub table and tall stool seating as well as tables with one side having a chair and the other being bench seating. I ordered the barley milk tea half sweet and no toppings. The drink was refreshing and light. At the time I ordered I was the only one in and the time from ordering to getting the drink was very quick. read more

This place is a small shop located in an outdoor shopping center next to H-mart. It's very quaint and the jams are top notch! The service is fantastic but please be patient as there is one guy who is doing it all. I ordered the brown sugar latte with boba and a s'more's croffle. The latte was very creamy and delicious and the croffle was not too sweet but balanced with the waffle. Please go here for boba! read more

I love coming here for the barley milk tea and trying out their seasonal flavors! The grapefruit ade is one of my favorites. They've remodeled recently giving the interior a great and chic vibe, however, this is more of a grab and go place rather than a place to go and hang for a bit. The drinks are great, but service is hit or miss. One thing to note is the drink carriers here are quite flimsy and you always have to carry them from the bottom to avoid the drinks slipping through which defeats the whole purpose. It would be better if they offered a bag instead of the cardboard holder. +1 Vibe +1 Taste +1 Presentation +0 Service +1 Value read more

Delicious milk tea! They can't adjust the sweetness on all the drinks but they will work with you to customize your drink how you want it. I really liked the ube milk tea with boba. The price is around $7 per drink. read more

Sol Boba - Menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

I have been going to SolBoba since it first opened. It was truly one of my favorite boba places in Tacoma for a long time. Their drinks are well crafted and delicious. I usually get the oolong milk tea and you can really taste the tea which is what I look for! However, the service here has gone downhill. The location is meant to close at 8:30pm but staff started putting up chairs/mopping the floors around 7:00pm! It felt like they were ushering us out. I can understand staff wanting to get ahead of closing tasks but this was disappointing. I saw recently that the management has changed so hopefully the service will improve in quality. read more

Clean vibe but milk tea was like another mediocre boba. I got matcha and barley milk tea. Matcha was ok but barley milk tea was super watered down. It felt like barley water and they added some milk to it. I did not care for it. Service was slow but nice which is why I gave 2 star and not 1. read more

MUST TRY! So far I've tried the matcha strawberry and the brown sugar Oreo shake and both did not miss! The Oreo has to be the winner. The staff are always quick to answer my questions so ordering is seamless. Seating area isn't super large but they keep it so clean and there's always room to sit and enjoy your drink. :) read more

Used to be my go to place for boba since I love supporting small businesses. But unfortunately the customer service has gone down hill. There was a mishap with the drink carrier and it broke causing 4 drinks to drop on the ground right in front of their store. I went back in and showed that all 4 drinks were cracked and not drinkable. Even kind strangers outside asked if I was okay and offered to help get the broken drinks off the floor. Intially, the store offered to make the drinks again, but what blew my mind was that they changed their mind and wanted me to repay for all the drinks in order to get them again! I used to buy 4 drinks all the time here and got boba at least once, if not twice a week and never had issues before. I left with no drinks in hand since they didn't want to make them again and they stated "They are a small business, and can't afford to make them again". Wasted $25 and my time. What a shame since I referred so many people to this business. read more

I ordered the mango and strawberry slushies with boba. The overall taste of them are a bit watered down but are definitely refreshing. I personally like the taste of the tapioca pearls more than the slush. The service was pretty fast and the person making the slushy was friendly. Their menu options are more creative such as coffees, even offering affogato which surprised me. The overall location is modern and comfy. read more

A unique Korean study spot and boba place! They also offer 15% military discount. Plenty of parking. Free WiFi. Hmart and numerous restaurants are within walking distance. A few outlets with tables. Open until 10 pm! Fantastic grey-white-brown aesthetic and music choice. Spend the day here to study. The downside is that they open a little later than desired (11 am) but otherwise love this place. Keep in mind that they charge extra for no ice (even though it's not listed as part of their pricing). I ended up ordering their mango hibiscus tea with lychee jelly and no ice. That ended up being around $9 total without military discount. Mango hibiscus tea: gorgeous colors. Perfect about of tartness mixed with sweetness and light enough to feel refreshing. Would order again! read more

It's been a while since I last visited here so I'm gonna update my post. The workers here were friendly and efficient on making drinks. I stopped by here after shopping at Hmart. This time I decided to try their mango matcha which I thought was very good. They make their own mango puréed so the taste was very flavorful and aren't artificial. Too bad I couldn't adjust the sweetness level since it was a bit sweet. Overall, a nice solid boba shop for a quick boba fix. read more

I hardly give rating on anything. I buy milk tea all the time. This is the first time in my life where this has happen. I always ask for no ice on my drink. This is not my first time here either. I bought two drinks and this is what I received almost half gone on both drinks. Let the pictures speak for itself. LOL read more

I ordered barley milk tea. I noticed there was no sugar so I went in and they remade it for me. Service was speedy and they had no problem remaking it, they were super nice about it so I bumped it up one star, unfortunately where it lacks is the attention. Because now I have a brown sugar milk tea and not a remake for my barely milk tea. I don't want to go in a third time, because now it's just too awkward for me. Also both drinks, the ice was full to the top... read more

Legit Good! I'm a boba milk tea addict. I also hate fake places that uses only powder and not a single tea cup is brewed. I can tell ya: this place is awesome. Before this place, I've only been introduced to the Slushy-type of Honeydew boba. This is the first time I've ever had Honeydew Milk Tea like this. Apparently, its very common in Taiwan, yet I haven't come across it until now. It's addicting. I have not had any bad drinks/flavors here. Definitely a new favorite spot for me. read more

Second visit to this Boba place and it didn't disappoint once again! Ordered the Taro Slush and an Asian Pear Slush with Crystal Boba. Paid $14.00 for the 2, so it was a bit pricey. But taste-wise, it was great! Received very good customer service as well. read more

The only reason this place is getting a 4 star is because of the limited options. Sadly enough I personally don't like coffee or tea so I could only choose from the slushes they had. I got the strawberry mango slush with tapioca and mango jelly. Usually when I go to boba shops they obviously have tea but they sell some sort of creamy smoothie. Unfortunately here they did not have a smoothie, but I am not disappointed in what I got! The person who was taking my order was very sweet and worked with me when I needed to do cash then card. The place itself is super clean and chic looking, a hidden gem in Lakewood for sure! I will be going back again because I see so much potential read more

This will be the 2nd time getting a drink here. The people are friendly, and welcoming, they said "thank you", to every person walking out the door. The disappointment: the boba was overcooked. You can't be serving overcooked boba, if you're a boba shop. The beverage was sad after the first sip. read more

Today was a good day to get boba tbh. Upon walking in, the two guys working were really friendly and quick. The torrents of was clean and no complaints on the ambiance. We got the Oreo taro slush w/ tapioca pearls - it was pretty good. The Oreo brown sugar latte was good but I hate when they don't fill it to the top. If we're paying $16 + tip for our 2 drinks, don't short us on the drink... it's unfair. The 3 stars is also for the tapioca. The tapioca were super mushy, tiny and almost burnt tasting. I would give it a try again one day, maybe it was a bad day for them. read more

Craving for boba out of nowhere but feels like puyallup has nothing good. We found this place through Yelp and they have pretty high rating and I know why! This place has so many cute decorations and it feels so clean. I love that matcha latte can choose sugar level and ice level. I got 25 percent sugar and they are good amount of sugar level for me! My fiancé loves his drink and he always hates drinking boba! I'm super surprised that he loves this place and he got brown sugar Oreo milk tea. To me this drink is too sweet for my liking but he likes sweets so this is perfect! The service was great, she was honest about that some drinks are not able to change sugar level and she recommended me the matcha latte. read more

Definitely one of the best boba spots in the Tacoma area no doubt about it. This has only been my second time going to Sol Boba, and so far I've had some really delicious drinks! The first time I came here I got the Asian Pear Slush, and wow. Just wow. This drink was SO good and tasted super refreshing and not too sweet! I tend to drink fruit teas these days and their Asian Pear really hit the spot. Also it's rare to find this flavour too, so I was excited to see this on the menu. Second time coming in, I ordered the Tiramisu Latte. I needed a caffeinated kick and this about did it for me! With no adjustments it wasn't as overly sweet which brought out more of the Tiramisu flavour. Enjoyed this drink a lot! The space itself isn't all too big and the interior is very simple, but I do like the artwork on the wall! Overall would definitely come back again and again when I am around Tacoma read more

Ok y'all I just moved down from Seattle like 2 weeks ago and I'm guilty of coming to Sol Boba like 6 times now... I'm like totally addicted to their Oreo Taro Slush. Like you had me at "oreo" but "taro" too? Don't do this to me. Literally I will lay in bed and be like "omgsh that oreo taro slush tho..." And here I thought I was going on a diet THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE BOBA... but .. I can't help myself. It makes it worse when my best friend and her hubby wants some too.. because then I can't say no! Haha. Their purple flurp or something was the first I had. For aesthetics I really liked it but don't get me started with that oreo taro slush.. I'm telling you! I'm such a sucker for aesthetics ... and the SWIRL! Oh my gawd. Stahhpppp... I was hesitant about loving to Tacoma with the foodie community but .. Sol Boba knows what's up read more

SO GOOD!! Honestly this is probably the best boba I've had in the Tacoma/Lakewood area so far.

The cashier was also extremely friendly and our drinks came out super quick! read more
