I guess I'm still on a boba crawl because how did I miss this boba cafe. I was getting food in the plaza and was like, 'I feel like some boba'. Did a Yelp search and voila, it was right next door. Lol. I ordered a fruit tea on their self service kiosk. Wasn't busy so as they prepared my boba tea, I explored. Some of you may be excited to know they have the mini-claw arcade and a token machine. I'm not sure if it's trendy but I have noticed these machines popping-up everywhere. This boba cafe wasnt busy during lunch so ordering was easy. Not much interaction with staff but maybe thats on purpose. I do appreciate the message on my cup, 'don't forget to smile' It's nice to know there are still boba places to discover. read more

I was super excited to try out Presotea, And I tried it two times now. On my first visit I tried a jasmine tea, which is my baseline for comparing Boba shops. I substitute the dairy or opening, made it less sweet, with less ice. I added boba, And was disappointed because the bubble was not sweetened and there was a lot more food than expected compared to other boba shops. The pearls are also smaller than used to. My other drink was a white peach tea, also. For both milk teas that I received, I could barely taste any tea. Those teas we are also very lightly sweetened when I requested for less sugar. I think that full sweetness actually would be enough sweetness for me since I usually get one level last week anyway. For the third drink, I ordered a enemies coffee, At my second visit, I tried signature fruit tea and the hojicha winter melon tea with pudding. The signature fruit tea was 100% sweetness and was not really sweet. I had also asked for the size. For the winter melon milk tea, I opted for the regular dairy option, which made the drink creamier than the first drinks. I had full sweetness for the string, which was pretty sweet considering that there are winter melon pieces in there, which would be a burst of sweetness. Overall the shop is very clean, plenty of seating. Service was pretty friendly! Overall, this is a solid boba shop for this side of Elk Grove! read more

Came by on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty. It seemed like most people were waiting on their drink orders. They have two touch screen kiosks to place your order. I got the oolong milk tea with grass jelly and thought it was just okay to me. Still on the search for the best oolong milk tea. Service was quick and fine otherwise. No issues with parking. Couple of tables and seats if you want to hang out and sip your drink. read more

We were in town for some errands recently and I wanted some boba. Elk Grove seems to always have new boba spots popping up, and Presotea looked pretty good from what I read. I wanted a spot where I could sit and use the WiFi for a bit and thankfully Presotea had some limited seating. The WiFi was pretty fast as well. There were a few groups of friends hanging out, but most of the patrons were ordering their boba to go. There are specific deals for each day of the week (besides weekends), and we went on a Monday, so all milk teas were 20% off! The ordering kiosk was easy to use and the same format as the majority of other boba shop kiosks I've been to. I went with the hojicha milk tea while my husband went with the strawberry matcha latte. Both drinks were ready in less than 5 minutes, and we sat down to enjoy them. The boba was a bit too soft for my liking, but the hojicha tea was great. I took a sip of my husband's strawberry matcha latte and it had a pretty good flavor. I would have to agree with other reviews that the tea here isn't the best I've had, but it's still pretty good. They also have some snacks, but we didn't order any. I'd consider returning the next time we are in the area to try some other drinks they offer! read more

We came here mainly for the Pokemon card show on Saturday. The place has 5 vendors and nice ambience. We of course ordered drinks too. They have substitution options on the kiosk which makes it easy. The drinks are about average but the fast ordering and drinks preparation fully make up to it. Price is also comparable to competitors. The newly closed down Teacup was our drink place before. It they held more card shows in the future we probably will be back more often as we rarely go to this plaza otherwise. If only there is a Pokegym here it will be perfect! read more

They have 2 self service kiosks to order on. Picked our drinks and waited for them. Drinks out pretty quick as they were not busy. But the drinks are really bad. The Vietnamese coffee was undrinkable as it tasted super burnt. McDonald's makes better coffee than this. Passionfruit tea tasted like water with a hint of passionfruit. No tea flavor at all either. Mango tea was the only decent one as it had some taste and was palatable. Plenty of other boba spots in EG that are way better so do not waste your time or money here. read more

Today I had the pleasure of working with Lindzie and Shellie. They were both so sweet, attentive and fast with making their drinks. I usually order a wintermelon hojich but they also introduced me to the signature fruit tea. I enjoyed my time here. Although I miss big boba theory, the ambience and vibe here is super cute and homey. They even have kiosks for ordering as well as claw machines!!! read more

3 reasons why I come to this boba place. 1. Wintermelon milk tea. I spontaneously tried the wintermelon drink here and I was hooked. I love that they actually put little pieces of wintermelon in the drink. I like the texture. I haven't tried very many wintermelon drinks but this is one of the only places I'll order it. 2. Avocado smoothie. It's literally one off the best in the area. I recommend getting it 100% sweet which is a lot for me. I usually get 50% with my boba drinks but I think the sugar helps make the blend more smooth. 3. Miniature claw machines. Im addicted to those *dumb* claw machines. Dumb cause I'm so addicted and I keep getting suckered into trying them out. But the truth is that I do love the thrill of playing it! Also it's not impossible to win things there. I have definitely gotten a few of the prizes. :) read more

I enjoy boba. A lot. So does my son. He did great on his test so I wanted to give him a treat and decided to come by here and get him a blended mango slush. They let you customize so he didn't want the creme and less sugar and it was perfect. No cash only machine pay. Services were quick and so nice. The ambiance is great for teens who want to hang out and there are some claw machines they can try their hand out. I think my teens would like this place. I will share with them my take on it but for sure my son loved his mango drink. Go here you will be happy! read more

I recently stopped by Presotea with my family after lunch for an afternoon pick me up. Their menu is extensive and offers a wide variety of drinks. I ordered a hot wintermelon milk tea since the weather was really cold today. The flavor was perfect, but the drink itself was lukewarm, which was really disappointing, hence a 4 star review. Otherwise, my family commented that their drinks were really good and not too sweet. Presotea is a great place for a casual meet up if you are in the area for boba. It is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Will be back to try their other items! read more

Good tea - better than most. Really disappointed in the brown sugar boba; it is poor quality. It was tasteless, the boba was also falling apart leaving my throat irritated. On top of this, they charge $1 for toppings. read more

Clean interior with easy parking infront. Signature fruit tea is basic, solid B with a strong tea taste with light fruity notes. Boba pearls were a bit too mushy for my taste and tasteless-could have used a light honey taste. I'd consider returning if I'm in the area and craving boba-but would probably opt for Rose Tea or the new Yi Fang instead. read more

Haven't stopped by for a while so we popped in on our way home. I just found out they have weekly specials now, so I'll be sure to take advantage of these before work next time. It's also their anniversary so they are currently having BOGO 50% off as well as a deal with Oyster Bar where if you buy $20 here, you get $15 gift card for Oyster Bar. Thanks to the great deals, I got 6 drinks for just $28 today and even the $15 gift card. The champagne milk tea is my favorite in this batch. It's very light like jasmine milk tea and I think a hint of grape in it. It's very light and refreshing and I highly recommend read more

I decided to give Presotea another try since my last visit wasn't quite memorable but also it was grand opening weekend. Probably not the best time to come since it was hectic and busy. I stopped in today because I saw on social media they had drinks that looked delicious and refreshing. What caught my eye was the Sakura Milk Tea. This was an interesting take on Sakura Milk Tea because this version has peach flavors & strawberry puree. I'm typically accustomed to the traditional Sakura MT which has floral notes. Presotea's version is an interpretation of spring, I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It essentially tastes like strawberry milk. Light, in bloom, and refreshing. I think I may have detected some tea notes but they were subtle. I didn't get any add ons (toppings) with my drink and the only customization I did was adjusting the sweetness to 70%. Overall, I did like it but it would be nice to add a bit of floral notes for it to be a true Sakura MT. I'm wanting to try their other drinks such as Taro Cloud and the Ali Shan Milk Tea (also not 100% on that spelling but something along those lines). I came on a Friday afternoon around 5 pm and there was one group already sitting & enjoying their drinks. Orders are placed at the kiosk and card payment only. I was greeted and the bobarista was sweet. Wait time wasn't long because it was just me and my drink came out quick. The bobarista also did let me know as she handed me my drink to let her know if anything else is needed. read more

Another boba shop in Elk Grove that's like a hidden gem. It's not in a larger plaza so unless you're seerching for boba on yelp it may be very easy to miss this place as I've never been into this plaza until now. Great unique flavors and items to choose from. Orders came out quickly. Prices were fair. Order using the kiosk. Will be one of my go to spots for jobs moving forward read more

I am always around this shop really early in the morning so I never got a chance to try them until today. You order at their kiosk so I don't know if you can order with cash, but the kiosk provides really detailed descriptions of each item on their menu. Their fruit teas sounded the most interesting so I got their Blueberry Midnight. You can adjust the settings of the tea during the order. The drink was pretty refreshing and I liked the crunch of the seeds in it. I noticed there is a Presotea app but I couldn't find this location on the app. Would love the earn reward points with having to scan the QR code. Service was fast and friendly. The small shop was nice and clean with a decent amount of tables inside. I'd probably come back in the future to try their other flavors. read more

I visited Presotea as a participant in Explore Elk Grove's Boba-licious challenge. I have tried many drinks here but noticed a new drink - Sakura milk tea. I looked at the online menu for the ingredients (in order to redeem the promo for the challenge I had to order at the register not the kiosk). The Sakura milk tea is a white peach tea with strawberry purée. The combination sounded perfect as those are two of my favorite fruits. The drink was better than I expected and it has become my favorite fruit based milk tea option. My sister loves a good blended drink. She choose to order the Mango Cloud and it had a refreshing mango taste with a nice blend of cream. Also keep an eye out for their previous months' top three favorite promotion. If you follow on Instagram they will post the top three drinks from the previous month. Order any of them M-F, all-day you will get 15% off. August's top three drinks were: 1. A-li-shan Milk Tea 2. Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea 3. Taro Cloud read more

Service was a bit too long. Place was cute but it was very busy when I came. Didn't not try any food.

Presotea offers high quality and authentic tea drinks! Every cup is brewed to order, so you're definitely getting fresh drinks every time! A-Li Shan milk tea is my favorite! The tea was nice and creamy and you can definitely taste the tea flavor. The boba had the perfect texture, soft and chewy without being mushy. The house coffee was strong and it had the perfect amount of sweetness (I got mine 50% sweet). Mango cloud was creamy and refreshing. White Peach Oolong tea had a strong tea flavor and subtle peach notes. You cannot go wrong with any of these drinks! read more

Their milk teas here are one of the best in Elk Grove! Their teas are so aromatic and provide so much flavor to the drinks.

Great quality, I'll be coming back to try their other drinks :)) read more

While visiting the Sacramento area, our local friends -- who are boba aficionados -- took us here and told us it's one of their favorites. I deviated from my go to green milk tea order and tried their gembmaicha milk tea with 30% sugar and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. My husband got the green milk tea with boba and 30% sugar and liked it. It would say the taste and quality reminds me of Sunright in the Bay. We got a mango cloud drink with 30% sugar for our kids, which was creamy and chock full of fruit; I didn't even get boba for them the way I normally do because I felt there was already enough going on. They accidentally messed up one of our orders and left out the sugar completely, but our friends took it back and they fixed it without any problem. Great customer service and I'm sure I'll be back the next time I'm visiting my friends. read more

After seeing this place pop up in my Yelp feed repeatedly, I figured I'd check it out and see what it was about. Presotea takes over a previous boba tea type shop that I'd been to once before (don't remember it's name off top, because it has been some years). But this place definitely seemed new and exciting. Going to a new place with so many options can seem very overwhelming at times, but luckily my son and I were the only patrons in at the time. So we were able to look over the different options and ask the employee as many questions as we needed. Which were graciously answered, and recommendations were given as well. My son decided to go with a Strawberry Mango Slush with Boba, and I chose a White Peach Oolong Fruit Tea. The guy at the counter before making our drinks asked how sweet did we want them, which neither of us were sure of. So he gave us both our drinks at 70% sweet, so making them more or less sweet is an option. My drinks was pretty good, and I really like the dress Passion Fruit purple at the bottom. Plus the White Peach fruit tea also has fresh orange and apple slices in it as well. Which is a really nice touch. Before leaving instead of ordering at the counter, I used the kiosk option as noted by the employee at the counter. Just to see how easy it was to use. And picked up my girlfriend a Popping Strawberry Bubble waffle. There weren't any pics on the stores main menu, at the kiosk, or on Yelp of their waffles. Making it a little more different to know what the bubble waffle would look like. And my girlfriend had thought it might come with fresh strawberries, but it instead comes with strawberry pearls...hence the "popping" strawberry name. She was a little disappointed as was I but, she was still ok with it. More images and or better descriptions would definitely go a long way, for those who don't frequent here. Like me most eat with our eyes, and like the posters and the "Top 10 drinks" and the TV screen. More drink & food pics would help. Overall: Good drinks and atmosphere and friendly employees. If I'm in the area again and I'm in the mood for a sweet and refreshing drink. I definitely may just stop in at Presotea again and try something new or something familiar. read more

Hmmm, with all the great reviews, I'm wondering if I ordered the wrong thing or if they were having an off-day when I visited. Presotea is another boba tea place in Elk Grove. In my opinion, there's no such thing as too many milk tea choices so I visited with high hopes. Clean and bright inside, staff greeted me immediately, and I placed my drink order on their self-service kiosk. Honestly, I really hate kiosks - they're impersonal, annoying to use when adjusting drink preferences, and take away the opportunity for staff to provide great customer service and engagement. But, I'm sure this element is supposed to increase efficiency?! Anyway. I ordered one of their signature milk teas: A-Li Shan Milk Tea with boba. Full sugar, no other adjustments. I have no idea what the tea base was - other than some kind of black tea. The drink lacked tea flavor. And the boba texture was overly soft - one of my pet peeves when it comes to boba texture. $5.85 + tax + tip and I ended up throwing it away because it was that bad. I won't be returning. I also started receiving advertising texts from Presotea. There may have been some fine print at the kiosk about receiving ads from them but this is too much of a stretch for having no choice but to use their kiosk for ordering. read more

They have amazing deals depending on what day you go! Sometimes the teas are too sweet and sometimes they are just right!

I stopped here during grand opening BOGO half off. I love boba tea spots this one is pretty much like all the others. I ordered the Matcha milk tea and I order a white peach milk tea. The Matcha was mid, but the white peach milk tea is refreshing and fantastic. The service is very slow and they did mess up one of my drinks but fixed it, but took 10 mins for me to receive it. I probably would stop by if I'm in the area to try the blended drinks. Over all I rate them a 3.5 stars. read more

Hurry! Buy 1 Get 1 50% off today only for their Grand Opening, according to their IG page. Presotea took the previous spot of Big Boba Theory on Laguna Blvd. This is an original brand from Taiwan. It wasn't too crowded when I got there around noon on Sunday. They have two self order kiosks. It's easy to place an order and drinks were ready within 10 minutes. I had the Brown Sugar Milk Pudding with 50% sweetness and less ice. The sugar level is perfect. Not too sweet and just right (for me). The pudding is silky soft. It was like a meal in a cup, kind of filling. I also got the lychee milk tea boba with same sweetness and ice level. That was really good too! Another great boba place in Elk Grove/Sacramento! We are getting spoiled with so many options! read more

First time trying this chain! It was ok, love the concept that it offers lots of different kind of tea but I think it lack of some adds on or modifying the drink .. for example if you have "Ceylon " black tea .. normally most Asian people will associate it with lemon/lemonade with Ceylon tea .. which is the golden pair! Tea was pretty good, tried their grape flavored black tea. And their mango cloud, overall is good. The place is a little hot inside ... probably should leave the door open or at least have some kind of AC /window read more

New year!! New boba spot, well technically they soft opened back in December but I just went back yesterday. So of the two times I've been there - I've tried the: A-Li Shan Milk Tea, Creme Brûlée Milk Tea, Taro Cloud, Blueberry Midnight & Signature Fruit Tea Of all the drinks we've tried my favorite was definitely the A-Li Shan & Creme Brûlée Milk Tea. They both weren't overly sweet and I love the roasted taste! If you're a fan of roasted milk teas you'll definitely enjoy these! ALSOOO their boba consistency is so good! It's the right amount of soft and chewiness. Loveee it As for the fruit teas, their signature one is more on the tea side and it's not sweet at all. Very subtle. It's great if you just want something light and refreshing. I enjoyed the fruit and lychee jelly. The blueberry midnight was really interesting since most places don't have blueberry flavoring. The flavor was very distinct! As for interior and service; the interior is super spacious and welcoming. They have smart devices to take your order if you're paying with card so I think that's great and efficient. Great service, the staff was super helpful and friendly. I believe they now offer bubble waffles too which is basically an egg puff! I definitely want to come back to try their white peach oolong & flan cafe frappe! read more

Could be a cute cafe to do work in with their trendy interior design. There's something I love about neon signs on a faux shrub wall with these new boba shops that come up. They have a kiosk inside to order from and plenty of seating options. It was pretty busy when I went on a Saturday afternoon, so the drink took around 10-15 minutes to come out. Ordered the A-li Shan Milk Tea with boba. The drink itself was okay, didn't really taste anything special apart from a typical milk tea, and the taste was diluted with a lot of water. The default size of the drink is the larger cup (16oz) but I would've preferred a regular 12oz cup with a more concentrated flavor. The boba was chewy and not too sweet. read more

Some friends and I went for their soft opening and we really enjoyed it! Since they just opened, there weren't too many people there (grand opening this Saturday 12/17) but there was still a steady stream! The employees were super friendly and helpful and you could choose to order at the counter or at the kiosk. They kiosk was cool because you could see how many people had ordered each drink! You can customize the sweetness, ice, add toppings and substitute milk (though there is also a cost). I got the brown sugar pearl milk tea at 100% sweet and as much as I like sugar, I probably would've enjoyed it more at 70%. My friends got the genmaicha milk tea which was also really good and I'd recommend! They do have a bunch of fruit teas as well as fruit milk teas and some coffees so I'd want to come back and try that! There is a parking lot outside when plenty of space so it shouldn't be a problem! read more

We came across this boba place and decided to check it out last night. Walking in, it had a cute decor on the wall. Definitely a nice picture spot if your into that stuff. Ordering was easy. There were staff to take your order, but also kiosk available. We opted for the kiosk and was able to choose our options within it. We ordered the lychee snow and the winter melon and hojicha milk tea. We were both surprised on how good each tasted. The winter melon had real bits within in. The lychee did come with lychee jelly as well. Definitely will come back. We enjoyed our drinks. Thanks! read more
