Folks... Go here. Great coffee, great treats, great staff. The big green S place close by has huge lines and messes up my drink often, so I tried this place in December. I've been going here ever since.

Cute little cafe with super good bubble tea! I got Taro milk tea with tapioca and they got the light sweetness and ice I asked for perfect. The taro isn't neon purple so I love that it has less artificial colors. Tasted great! They have coffee and lots of cute little cakes and snacks.

While visiting Tacoma I decided to have a fruit tea at ui cafe for a nice warm sunny weather and this cafe is wonderful along with the order of passion fruit tea I tried out the croissant almond cake they are both delicious, the staff member is friendly and has great service skills. The bakery and beverage selections are very good this cafe is a chill place to relax and enjoy your beverage, I'm looking forward to visit in the near future. I highly recommend.

Cute little spot that just opened up in the neighborhood, decided to try it out. We both ordered smoothies and were able to swap out milk for dairy alternatives. Tasted amazing! Definitely gonna come back to try some coffee and tea.

Needed some caffeine midday, took a gamble on a new place. Not only was the lady very nice and helpful with all my questions, when I told her I needed a sweet treat and asked her choices. I got a free mini cake to try! That was a 10 out of 10 the Matcha with strawberry I ordered was immaculate, it was smooth. It was fresh. It was the right amount of sweetness Will be stopping at this place every time I’m in town!

All right, so I've been here about two or three times now, and I've tried a few different things. First off I wanted to say the drinks are very good and the place is VERY reasonably priced. Well worth it especially considering most places are DOUBLE the price. I will mention, that today, my tapioca pearls in my bubble tea were a little off today. A little too hard and chewy for my liking, but I believe this to be a one off experience that might have happened because I had a late order before closing. This is not normally the case and would be surprised if it happens again. 5/5 stars still. The price for the drink alone makes me happy lol
