Pearl Tea
4621 Point Fosdick Dr, Gig Harbor, WA
Crema's Take
“Pearl Tea is a beloved bubble tea destination in Gig Harbor that's earned serious devotion for their impeccably crafted drinks—especially their signature cream brulee boba milk tea—and their commitment to quality that extends to every detail, from perfectly chewy tapioca to remarkably clean preparation that even shines through in their seasoned waffle fries. The sweet, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely wonderful staff make it an ideal spot to linger with friends, though the small team sometimes gets stretched thin during busy hours. With a thoughtful rotating selection of light snacks that go beyond typical vending machine fare, Pearl Tea has carved out its niche as one of the best boba spots around, worthy of the long-standing loyalty it inspires.”

While I enjoy their teas, especially the cream brulee boba milk, they need to hire more staff. One person working both front and back is not enough…I was there for over 20 minutes, and there were still people who were there before me that had not received their items. I felt bad for the guy running around frazzled.
The tea is amazing, the tapioca is always perfect, and I personally feel like I can taste how clean all of their tools are in the waffles and fries especially. Honorable mention for the curly fries and the sauce, which in my opinion is the BEST curly fries I've ever had. Also, the one time I've come here and they were PACKED busy and my fries took a while, they gave me 3 free macarons to apologize which I honestly didn't feel like was necessary anyways since they were so busy the wait was expected. 10/10, I'll be here often.
This is probably one of the best boba/milk tea spots I've ever been to, and I've been around the world a bit. The decor is super sweet and everyone that works here is super wonderful too which is just a huge plus on top of all the great variety and quality of teas, smoothies and snacks. My wife even got a little custom drink mixed for her that we'd had at another place, and while they weren't certain it'd work as a milk tea they knocked it out of the park. It's just a really cute spot for a little stop on a date or if you just need to dip in for a refreshment
Absolute solid spot for a boba and a snack. The small snacks they offer I appreciate because it changes the typical bagged chips here. Their seasoned waffle fries are amazing and worth a try!
Pearl Tea has been my favorite bubble tea shop for a long time. The drinks there always taste so delicious and refreshing. There is a large selection of all different kinds of drinks so there’s something for everyone! The food is always so good as well. This is the first place I recommend to my friends if they want to hangout and have boba. The inside of the shop is so cute and comfortable. Plus the staff are so kind and they always bring a smile to my face when I walk in. I will always have good things to say about Pearl Tea. I love this boba shop.
