This is a mid-sized boba tea shop that also sells waffles and mochi donuts! Their drink menu is huge-- 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. read more

The previous time we were here was for a yelp-specific event so I did not write a review about the establishment. 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 also have a variety of other items on the menu, and of course the donuts. The staff were nice and friendly, fast, and overall good! I would give them a try! read more

TOMO Tea House - Top to bottom: Churro, Key Lime, & Strawberry Matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - University Place, Washington

really cute spot with decorative pillows on the couch underneath a floral photo op moment that makes any picture look good! Like the bright white lights because all photos that you take are clear and turn out nice. I like that it was all pink. I also like that there is a lot of parking spots as it is located by other shops, restaurants, etc. drinks were yummy and boba tasted just fine. Nothing that had me in awe as much as the decorations here. Service was okay. They were nice, but when asked questions about orders, they would just shrug. Not really knowledgeable on the menu, but maybe because we came late at the night before closing time, so staff was sleepy and ready to clock out. Kiosk is right next to the cashed desk, which I thought was inconvenient because if there were multiple people in line, it would be hard to differentiate with who was in which line read more

I'm on vacation in Washington visiting family and friends and my best friend and I planned to meet at our favorite bar in University Place but she got held up at work an extra hour so I had to figure out somewhere nearby to go in the meantime. I just happened to drive by Trader Joe's and noticed a sign that said "TOMO Tea House" which must be somewhat new as I had never seen it before when I lived in Washington a couple years ago. I decided to check it out. They have dubai chocolate strawberries which I love but of course they're very expensive (like $15 for a cup) and I wasn't willing to pay that much for just one item here today. I ended up going with a couple mochi donuts and a latte instead which came out to about the same price as the one cup of Dubai strawberries would have. I got the rose latte hot and with almond milk and chose the cinnamon bun and banana donuts. The rose latte is very good. It has a beautiful floral flavor but isn't overly perfume-y like some floral flavored drinks are. The cinnamon bun donut is very delicious! It's exactly what I expected. The banana one is tasty but is very lightly flavored compared to the cinnamon bun one. Right after I ordered, a teenage couple came in and ordered a dubai strawberry cup and the boyfriend of the couple asked if they could do a banana dubai cup for him which they were able to do and OMG- I should have done that!! It looked absolutely divine and now I wish I came in and ordered just a couple moments later than I did so I could be behind and say "I'll take what he had!" But oh well, it's alright cause I got 3 items for the price they paid for one of those cups LOL Next time I'm in the area though, I'm coming back and I am getting them dubai bananas !!! read more

I don't even care if I sound biased because I LOVE kanaf... but this place just did something to me The Dubai cruffle??? Yeah... I get the hype now. It was insanely soft, like melt-in-your-mouth type soft, and the strawberries came in clutch with that fresh balance. Nothing was overly sweet or heavy -- everything just worked together perfectly. Only tiny note: I lowkey wish the chocolate and whipped cream came on the side because if you're a slow eater (me ) it can get a little soggy. But after the first few bites you genuinely stop caring because it tastes that good. NOW THE DRINKS. I got the brown sugar boba with crème brûlée and my friend got the matcha strawberry with their strawberry jam -- and when I say I almost stole his drink... I'm not joking somehow both drinks were equally amazing in completely different ways. Like I still wanted mine AND his. Important detail: they let you choose your sweetness level for the matcha + strawberry jam drink (which I loved because you can really customize it). 75% = perfect balance 50-75% = safe zone 25-50% = if you don't like much sweetness (I wouldn't go lower tbh) BUT for the brown sugar crème brûlée -- you don't pick a sweetness level, and honestly it doesn't even need it. It already hits exactly how it should. We got 2 Dubai cruffles and 2 (16oz) drinks for about $40 and I'm telling you right now... worth every single cent. I never understood why people get attached to boba spots or cafés like that... until now. I still wouldn't call myself a boba person (I didn't even finish the pearls at the end ), but the drinks alone completely sold me. Already planning my next visit -- and I'm more than happy to keep supporting this place anytimeeee read more

TOMO Tea House - Brown Sugar Creme Brûlée Milk Tea & the Dubai Croffle - Bubble Tea Near Me - University Place, Washington

Went for a Yelp Event and ended up buying for my husband to try! He thought it was alright, but I absolutely loved the Pandan Milk Tea with an ube donut to match. He got the Thai Tea. The donut tasted like a mochi donut. Was not too sweet and wasnt heavy. Wish there was more of an ube taste to the donut though. The Pandan Milk Tea kind of reminded me of Buko Pandan. It had a strong coconut and sweet flavor that I honestly appreciated and loved. My husband thought the Thai tea was way too sweet. They offer a 16 oz and 24 oz for all their drinks. Overall, I will definitely come back! read more

We were in the shopping center and thought a little sweet treat would be nice. They let us try the mochi donuts before deciding. I ended up getting the Strawberry Croffle and my friend got the Funnel Cake Mochi Donut. The Croffle definitely needs the strawberries for a little freshness to it and they paired perfectly with it. We both enjoyed our treats and the person behind the counter was friendly and answered all of our silly questions. read more

I was so excited to try this local spot with the Dubai chocolate strawberries. Of course I couldn't help but order other stuff too. Walking in, the aesthetics were nice, the pink, rose gold and the floral decor were so fitting. I was super disappointed that the strawberries were half full and not sweet. The mango sago drink was watery with chunks of ice and not full either. The service needs improvement. Not a smile, barely acknowledged and when our order was ready, it was slid across the counter and the server just walked away before I grabbed it. I wasn't even handed a straw or spoon. Hospitality was lacking. Not returning as the prices were high for a lack of customer service. read more

Super friendly staff! They've got a new strawberry rose mochi donut. Love that they brought the coconut matcha cloud experience to the area! My friend got the brown sugar milk tea but didn't realize you had to add your own toppings and that it didn't just come with tapioca. Love the cutesy shop and I bet it's very visually aesthetic with the perfect bright lighting- unfortunately I went after dark. read more

Omg, if you love creative drinks, coffee,or Vietnamese tea, then you need to be here. This cafe is beautifully decorated. So much fun. Reminds me of all the cute cafes I visited while living in Korea. It's just waiting for vloggers or to bump your selfie game. But more importantly, the drinks and mochi donuts are SO good for any age. I got a coffee with egg cream and my kiddo got a coconut water with strawberry cream and oh my gosh, I wish I could afford to go there everyday. read more

TOMO Tea House - Bubble Tea Near Me - University Place, Washington

Kept seeing friends post this spot, so had to give it a go. This location is inside the same strip mall area as Trader Joe's, but more near Mud Bay. The shop has a couple tables outside and a couch and a few tables inside. You order at the kiosk which there are two. This location has things from mochi donuts to croffles to the Dubai strawberries. The staff was friendly. . I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry and Mango and Cream & Thai Tea Creme Brulee drinks. The mango and cream was the loved product . The Thai Team Creme Brulee was not as expected and tasted more like when you just brew the actual tea and throw some cream in there. So if you're expecting Thai tea flavor from like a Thai restaurant, this wouldn't be it. read more

Recently had tomo tea cater drinks, mango sago, donuts and Dubai chocolate at my daughter's birthday. The process was simple and easy. Placed my order 2 weeks before the party and picked up my items the day of the party. Everything was ready and packaged very neatly. My guest was all very impressed with the drinks and dessert. Everyone was asking where we got the drinks and donuts. Was very happy with the service and how simple and easy it was to place my order. Will definitely be using them again for future parties. read more

Yesterday, a woman was begging around the shopping complex trying to get food for her children. She was crying and desperate. I went to Safeway to grab her baby formula, but when I went back to find her, I saw her and her daughter slip into TOMO, asking for help from the guests there. I thought for sure the gentleman behind the counter would tell her to leave. Instead, I heard him kindly offer her something to eat for free. These are the kinds of businesses we need in our neighborhood, and I will be stopping in more often! Absolutely gold star behavior and if I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! read more

The Mochi donuts here are delicious. Service, as always, was outstanding and friendly. Brought the family and we tasted the Carmel Biscotti and Chocolate Michi donuts.

Popped in around 5pm and they were out of matcha and alternative milk options. I had wanted to try the strawberry matcha but since that was a no go, I got the strawberry green tea. You can't adjust the sweetness fyi. The drink was good and it had a lot of fresh strawberries. I also got the dirt cup donut and the matcha strawberry donut. The donuts were good, matcha better than the dirt cup. These are different than mochinut and dochi because of the frosting. Service was good, they tried their best despite being out of things. Interior is spacious and very pink. read more

The wife and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed few menu selections as a sweet treat. She ordered the Mango sago and I had a mango bubble tea. Both were good but the mango sago was insanely amazing. Apparently they sell out of this item early in the day because we snagged the last one and it was barely noon. Service was friendly and we loved the decor. This place is probably very popular in the summer months as they have a few outdoor tables and it would be fun to sip on drinks and wander the shopping center. read more

I've been here a couple times now and had a few items and they're actually pretty delightful. I saw they had the Dubai chocolate strawberries and was super stoked to try it...

It had zero hint of pistachio anything, mainly just crunchy and dry. read more

Came for a yelp event, ordered 4 mochi donuts, a Thai tea, and mango green tea. The inside of this shop is adorable with lots of photo ops! There are two kiosks to order from or they also have very knowledgeable and helpful staff available to answer questions and place your order as well. Service was quick and easy, I ordered at the counter and just kept pointing at donuts to add to my variety box. I must admit, a couple hours later and they're all gone, my box is empty and here I am, writing this review and planning a return. The matcha and taro mochi donuts were my favorites! I also tried the churro and funnel cake which were good as well. I loved the crispness of the outside and the gooey, soft center. The drinks were just as delicious as well and a great pair to the donuts. Like I said, already planning my return and looking forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

So I had the previous location bookmarked and then saw they changed to Tomo Tea House so they were on my bookmarks for quite some time! However, I had the honor of being selected as a Yelp Elite to get a free mochi donut and drink here and when I saw they were also dog friendly, I was super excited to stop by! We arrived on a Saturday later in the afternoon and it was really busy but we were able to find parking as they share parking with several other businesses. We entered and we were welcomed warmly by staff and our dogs were also welcomed and given whipped cream cups. The interior is perfect for photo ops or selfies, we took several pictures of our dogs! There are tables and chairs inside and outside which was nice. I loved how comfortable the seats and couch were. I also saw they had some games that you can play such as Uno, Jenga, and more! There is also a self-order kiosk near the order area which is great for introverts like me but the staff was so friendly that I felt comfortable ordering from them. As I was staring at their menu on a screen, the cashier kindly let me know that they have a menu at the register as well as a menu to glance at which I appreciate as I didn't bring my glasses. Their menu is pretty extensive but not overwhelming and they had a showcase of their current flavors of mochi donuts on a display. After much careful consideration, I was ready to order and when I brought wanting the pandan milk tea, a different employee mentioned that it is very sweet and that they can't really adjust the sweetness on that and offered to give me a sample to see if I'd like it or not. I appreciated that greatly as I'm not into overly sweet drinks but it was the perfect amount of sweetness. We ended up with the wintermelon milk tea, pandan milk tea, and dirt cup mochi donut. Once we got our drinks, I was very pleased with the ice ratio as other places just add way too much ice and there isn't much to drink. However, the ice was just the right amount and the drink was very refreshing and the sweetness was perfect on both our drinks. We also really enjoyed the dirt cup mochi donut, it felt like we were eating a chewy dirt cup. We look forward to coming back in the future as we were very pleased with the service, taste, and overall experience! read more

Cute little boba/dessert spot tucked away in a busy grocery hub. It recently took over from another similar concept, "Bober" and rebranded to Tomo. They have both a kiosk and person at the register to take your order. I have visited at least three times since they've been open. I purchased their mochi donuts for a Halloween potluck and received a lot of compliments on how delicious they were. I have also tried their drinks here too. They have my husband's favorite drink, mango sago. Most recently, I came in to try the viral "Dubai" chocolate offered at this location, Dubai cover strawberries. I'm obsessed! I inhaled it on the ride 10 min ride home and was done before we pulled into the driveway. $15 well spent. Definitely worth the trip if you are in the area and craving a sweet treat. read more

I'm a Boba Addict and I love Mochi Donuts. My husband is obsessed with Mochi Donuts as well. We first moved to Lakewood in August, when this place was still known as "Bober." We both got a box of 3 Mochi Donuts and it was delicious. I've ordered a few times on DoorDash when they rebranded to "TOMO Tea House." Again, mostly ordering those delicious Mochi Donuts as the priority and a drink. I finally came back in the shop on Sunday, 10/28 and got to try their Mochi Pandan Waffle. Oh my goodness! It was delicious. They do have to make them for you, so the wait can be about 10 minutes. I appreciate that it's made-to-order! I took the remaining slices home for my husband and he is in love! I also purchased a box of 3 Mochi Donuts, but clearly, husband thinks the Pandan Waffles stole the show. I also got myself a Surprise Cup, and I scored the Kuromi toy I wanted! What luck! I want to give a shout out to Emily, who was so helpful and kind. She was the only one working that morning when it was super busy but she was so personable. I also got to meet the owner, and she's so lovely! I will definitely be here all the time. Love, love, LOVE! read more

I was heading to Mudbay and saw this place while I was parking so I decided to give it a try! They were having network issues so they couldn't use their POS and customers had to order via the tablet. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea with boba, regular ice and sweet cream. I also got a churro mochi donut. I didn't really like either of the items. The brown sugar milk tea wasn't bad but I felt that it completely lacked the brown sugar flavor. I liked that they added a decent amount of boba and it looked really pretty. The mochi donut was cold, dry and just disappointing. I go to milkvue in gig harbor all the time and LOVE their mochi donuts bc they are always soft and the perfect amount of chewy. So to me, that is the standard. Tomo tea house really missed the mark for me on the churro mochi donut. The interior was super cute though ! Nice and clean and bright with florals galore. read more

I immediately came back to check it out. They are delicious. 8/10 would be a 10/10 if they would add more pistachio cream. But nonetheless it was very tasty and the berries tasted fresh!

This experience was less than desirable. Service: Understaffed, with too many customers and not enough workers. This is not the workers fault at all, but the wait time for most people who came before or after us was about 23-27 minutes. We waited about 25 minutes until getting three drinks which came after the orders of large groups who ordered after us. We also had to wait again to ask for a drink carrier. The shop has an okay food rating, and through the kitchen window you can see workers drink their own personal drinks while making customer orders, which doesn't help it feel any better. Putting this aside we tried to enjoy the three drinks we had. Brown sugar milk does NOT come with boba already, which is an odd choice when compared to other local shops, and the boba tasted more like honey soaked rather than brown sugar. Strawberry matcha drink was artificial tasting while matcha felt watered down. Ice melts quickly even in cold weather suggesting poor ice storage. Pros: Mango drink was decent! It was also a bit over sweet and artificial tasting but it was the best drink from the trio. The interior still has the old Bober Boba decor scattered around so it is still decorated. But not much. If you are in UP, I would recommend trying local shops or chains in Tacoma. read more

We had a great experience having Tomo Tea House cater mochi donuts and milk tea for my daughter's first birthday. The team was extremely professional and arrived early to set up.

I worked with the owner through the whole planning process and she was extremely responsive and super nice. Their pricing is also very reasonable compared to other places I've gotten a quote from. I'd highly recommend contacting them to get them to cater your next party. You won't regret it! read more

The tea wasn't bad, unfortunately, they only offer kids sizes for the signature drinks. I didn't know that from the electronic kiosk that I was forced to use. It literally has a kids cup on top of the counter, showing us the 16 ounce size. I thought I was spending seven bucks on a 24 ounce. But the staff there have the social capabilities of yard mulch. I'll probably make the drive somewhere else if I have a Boba craving. My brown sugar milk tea was semi sweet even though I spent extra for brown sugar Boba. read more
