    Mango Green Tea and Rose Matcha Latte
    Vincent P.

    I stopped by here for some drinks before hitting the road. Since I'm out of town, I was interested in giving RareTea a try. It was very refreshing especially for the hot summer day. We got the Mango Green Tea and Rose Matcha Latte with boba. Both drinks were delicious and made for a great drink for the road. If you're looking for a place for boba, this spot is a good option!

    The tea was good! All the staff were super welcoming and the restaurant is beautiful and clean, thank you!

    This RareTea was located next to a sushi restaurant which makes a really good combination. The servers were super sweet and our tea came out really quickly. I got a large strawberry milk tea smoothie for $6 which is a pretty good price. It was sweet and refreshing! My friend ordered a kiwi fruit tea which also looked good as well. The store was cute and had modern decor.

    I'm usually not all that crazy about boba but wow this was delicious. I got oat milk rather than fresh milk and it was just perfection! The lady working there was sweet and helpful as well.

    I have been to this location several times and have always enjoyed their drinks. Rare tea used high quality ingredients you don't find at the run of the mill boba stop like organic milk. The macaroons are on the small side and a tad too sweet for me so I would stay away from them. This location is out of the way so lines are generally not a problem not to mention they are inside Satori Sushi so if you are craving some food this spot is an awesome combo.

    Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk ~ $6.00

    As the reigning Duchess of Rare Tea, I owe this business an excellent review. This specific RareTea location opened within this last year and has surprisingly dominated my boba patronage since its opening. Before this location opened, Rare Tea was not a boba shop I frequented. Now, it's only boba shop I go to. They have a variety of great quality teas as well as regular milk teas, fruit drinks, snow cream drinks, and matcha drinks. Here are some of my favorites: From the Teapresso Brew section, I love the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with organic fresh milk with 75% sweetness. I also love the High Mountain Milk Tea with fresh milk. From the Snow Cream section, the Strawberry Berry Snow Cream is the best! It's one of my favorite drinks and a great order during the summer. The snow cream is a little salty but adds an addicting flavor that compliments the drink so well. This drink does have tea in it, which means there is caffeine. The Caramelized Brown Sugar Boba Milk is one of their most popular drinks and it is very tasty, but it is VERY Sweet unless you lower the sweetness level. The brown sugar boba itself is extra sweet and therefore, I would recommend lowering the sweetness level of the drink to either 75% of 50%. Also, this drink has no caffeine. Other drinks - The Strawberry Milk Tea was just okay. It was not the most flavorful drink. I also tried making my own Oreo milk tea by ordering the Teapresso High Mountain milk tea and adding Oreo topping and boba. It was good, but it might be better/cheaper to order the Oreo milk tea as is. The only drink I really did not like was the strawberry smoothie. It tasted very artificial and I was pretty disappointed. Toppings - Boba and most toppings are $.75, but crystal boba and brown sugar boba are $1, and snow cream is $1.50. Overall, Rare Tea is an excellent boba shop that has graced the South Natomas area. They share store space with Satori Sushi (same owner), but have their own counter. You can also dine at Satori and order the milk tea, which will be brought to your table. The shop is clean, but there is no where to sit with a table if you are only getting boba. The staff is polite and accurate with orders.

    We have had Raretea maybe 5x or so at DOCO. Now we get one in Natomas! Good drinks. Not the best but better than many currently in our area. They share the place that is new too, Satori Sushi. I didn't get a drink this time but the other 2 did and liked it just the same as at DOCO. Nice to have a better boba spot added to Natomas that has less than stellar boba. Deluna and Tea 18 trump the rest here.

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - 1st time we tried via DoorDash - 2nd time we tried in person as a boba stop on the way home THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in an unsuspecting neighborhood plaza, can be easily overlooked - once in the plaza, you realize that RareTea is located inside Satori Sushi and Teriyaki Grill THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - RareTea is on the left side and Satori Sushi and Teriyaki Grill is on the right side - clean - modern THE MENU: - specialties - teapresso brews - milk teas - fruit teas - uji matcha - snow cream series - smoothies - not necessarily on the menu, there are some pastries/snacks showcased in the glass case adjacent to the cash register WHAT WE ORDERED: - Okinawa milk tea with brown sugar boba - mango smoothie - kiwi fruit tea with aiyu jelly - NOTE: like a lot of boba spots now, you have the option to change your ice level + sweetness level THE TASTE: - all of the drinks we've had have been good; refreshing and sweet CUSTOMER SERVICE: - warm and welcoming - swift

    Mango slush with lychee jello and handmade taro with fresh milk and boba - doordash
    Paula T.

    Doordash review - 20% off on your first order (up to $5 off) I received my order in less than 30 minutes, which is fast. My default drink is the mango slush with lychee jello - it has the perfect amount of sweetness and the lychee made it even more refreshing Homemade taro with milk - there's actual pieces of taro in it so if you're a fan of that, you'll have to try it. Top it off with boba and bam, it's a winner.

    Caramelized Brown Sugar Boba with Oat Milk
    Eliza G.

    I've loved RareTea ever since I was first introduced to it from a Yelp Elite event at the DOCO location! I was going there for awhile until I realized this way more convenient Natomas one exists! There is ample free parking and it shares a space with the cutest sushi restaurant. Now I've been coming here almost every week because it's so easy to haha. Taro Milk Tea with Boba is always on point and will always be my number one favorite. 2nd favorite so far is the Caramalized Brown Sugar Boba. I got it with oat milk since dairy isn't my friend and it tasted just fine with it. RareTea hands down makes the best boba balls, the sweetness and chewiness are consistently perfect. What I think would compliment the boba drinks would be that I wish they sold egg puffs! They have a rewards program if you type your phone number in at the cashier. 1 point = $1 and at 50 points you get $5 off.

    Complimentary donut!
    Brian K.

    The first thing I notice about RareTea is that it's located in a nice new building with plenty of parking. The interior looks new, was spotless, and had plenty of seating. The staff offered me some suggestions and I decided on a brown sugar milk tea with boba. The flavor was new for me and I really enjoyed it. My drink had drizzles of liquid brown sugar running down the inside and smooth creamy consistency. It tasted like black tea, milk, and of course brown sugar. It was a great combo! The boba was on the chewy side but had a good flavor. There were some complimentary Halloween donuts for customers when I arrived. There was one decorated like a cauldron which was a nice treat. Overall, my visit was a good experience.

    Iced Thai Milk Tea with boba
    Leah B.

    The Thai milk tea was great tasting. The boba had a good boba texture. The cups are nice; heavy duty!.. you can take them home and use them again. They were super fast. I ordered and had my drink in hand in less than 5 minutes. They share the space with a sushi restaurant. Must try next time, it smelled really appetizing!

    There is an option for non-dairy milk and then oat milk. Is it non dairy creamer or another milk like almond or soy?

    Their base is a non dairy creamer

    Are gift certificates available?

    Yes, but only through an online voucher, not physical gift card.

I ordered the taro latte with pudding, mango coconut pudding, spicy crab, and tator tots. Taro latte was 70% sweetness and was still kinda sweet. That was on me though. I typically order 50% sweet but this was my first time here so I only went slightly less sweet than the base. The mango coconut pudding was really good but also slightly sweet for me. The spicy crab rice ball was delicious. It was hot when it came out and didn't have too much mayo. The tater tots were super hot and crunchy. Not too salty either. Definitely coming back to this location!

We especially excited to try the instant ramen maker. We walked in and ordered in the kiosk. The menu had different teas, mochi donuts, dumplings, corndogs, and other snacks. However, after ordering we noticed the ramen wasn't on there. We asked the staff and they said the ramen maker wasn't working so that was disappointing. They were also out of something I ordered and they were able to refund me. The drinks and food took a bit to come out. The wonton and dumplings were ok, but the soup it came in was pretty good. The taro drink and mochi dog we got were good. Inside was very picturesque with a good amount of seating. The ramen wall was impressive and had a good selection. It served more for a decoration that day than for eating. But we loved the cute tree and floral wall. They also had some games for you to play with while waiting. Overall everything was ok but maybe we'll be back to give it another try.

This led us to Bingsu Tea in Natomas on Del Paso Rd. This shop has plenty of parking as it's a pretty big shopping center that it shares with many other businesses. When you walk in,the shop has the cutest interior design,little tables on the right side of the store,cute little design touches on the left. Ordering is mostly handled by two kiosks on the left. Menu is pretty lengthy but since we came here just for the Bingsu dessert dish,it wasn't too tough to decide. I've been here two times now and both times I got a Bingsu dessert dish. The 1st time we got a Oreo version and the 2nd time we got the Strawberry Mango version. Each ran about $14.30 I'm a little out of my element when to comes to this dessert as I'd never had them before but I will tell you this,both versions were excellent. Not too sweet,which was a surprise,the ice cream and the shaved ice on the bottom worked together flawlessly.A drizzle of condensed milk added a nice touch and enhanced the flavor profile. Between the two I think I preferred the strawberry-mango version but it's really close both were really high level. The Oreo version definitely hit right if you're in the mood for chocolate sweetness. The desserts are big enough to share-we shared with 2 people on the Oreo and 3 people on the strawberry version. In closing, I 100% recommend this shop if you're ever in the Natomas area and want to try out a pretty unique dessert experience-I'm sure you will enjoy it.

That guava cloud is thicc and velvety, full of guava flavor. It paired beautifully with the floral notes of Jasmine tea. I would definitely return for this. Taro paradise milk tea supposedly uses real taro, but my Asian mother said there wasn't enough of it in the drink, making the taro flavor light and diluted from the milk. I cannot vouch for the quality of this beverage, but it's a bit disappointing to hear it fell short. Strawberry smoothie was a hit and my grandpa happily finished it all. He's not easy to win over so imagine my surprise when he reported that it was a really good drink. Unfortunately, we weren't able to try the bingsu despite it being such a hot day, but this won't be our last visit. We will return for more!

The Americano here is easily the best I've had--bold, full of flavor, and not watered down like you get at a lot of bigger chain spots. You can tell it's made with intention. It actually tastes like coffee is supposed to taste. The pastries were just as impressive. The Biscoff cheesecake was rich and balanced without being overly heavy, with that warm, caramelized flavor that really stands out. The blueberry muffin tasted fresh and real--not overly sweet, just done right. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone. The music is calm and relaxing, the chairs are genuinely comfortable (not the typical stiff coffee shop seating), and the entire space feels less like a business and more like sitting in a welcoming home--a nice home where you actually want to stay awhile. But what really sets this place apart is the experience. Abdul didn't just take our order-- he genuinely engaged with us. He was friendly, thoughtful, and took the time to explain the concept behind the space, including how it connects to the location and atmosphere. That kind of interaction is rare, and it completely changed the tone of the visit. This isn't a place you rush in and out of. It feels built for conversation--for sitting down, slowing down, and actually connecting with the people you're with. It's a refreshing change from the typical coffee chain experience where everything feels standardized and transactional. Another standout is that the menu is halal, which makes this an easy and welcoming choice for anyone looking for halal options without having to second guess what they're ordering. If you're looking for more than just caffeine--if you want a place that values community, comfort, and real human connection--this is absolutely worth your time. This place reminded me what a coffee shop is supposed to be.
