    best boba shop in slo probably! located in a huge food hall with a nicely sized parking lot. drinks were 10/10! be warned that 60% is already really sweet. service was great & the workers were chatty & friendly. super clean and decently quick. would come back to try their matcha and milk teas! 6 drinks were around $40.

    All right, I confess! I'm totally addicted to Sequel Thai Tea, especially with Boba in it! Could anything be better? It's like dessert for breakfast. I love chewing on those sweet tapioca balls that add so much excitement to a cup of tea! Thai tea has always been my favorite, but when you add Boba to it, it's the cherry on top! Or should I say the Boba in the tea! Always fun to come here and get a cup of tea and wander around the San Luis market enjoying the thrill of a dessert tea!

    This is located inside a food court. They have so many drinks on the menu that sound good. It was hard to pick which drink to order. I wanted something refreshing, so I ended up with the jasmine guava. It was a solid drink, and it came out pretty fast after ordering!

    Warm, soft, chewy boba! The perfect texture I'm looking for in boba. The regular milk tea is lacking in flavor and a little too watery for my taste but the hochija has a stronger flavor that pairs well with the boba. The creme brûlée drink is creamy and sweet; it pairs very well with the boba. Good customer service and the ordering line is very convenient to just grab and go. I would recommend this place overall!

    Made a pit stop to SLO on a NorCal Roadtrip because I heard good things about their cold brewed tea. It's not bad for the area, as I can taste the tea without the milk or sugar overpowering the drink. Customer service was great, they added extra pumps of sugar due to my 60% House Milk Tea being a bit bitter for my taste. Plenty of outdoor seating for people with dogs!

    Sequel was honored with 1st place as the "Best Boba Shop" according to the 2025 Poly Picks. I initially figured it was because there weren't too many boba shops period around the area but after trying it a few times, I can confirm this wasn't the case. Sequel is located in the SLO Public Market which definitely increases foot traffic. What better to pair with a bowl of poke, chicken sandwich, or pizza than a refreshing cup of boba? Service is definitely friendly, some might even consider it intense. I've been here a few times and both times I was greeted very warmly and to feel free to ask questions. The associates tend to just sit/stand while staring directly at you until you order which is kind of intimidating. (Conversely Sweetie Cup Tea House has questionable service so that's the other extreme.) Milk Tea Creme Brulee: The tea was brewed perfectly and really came through despite all the creaminess of the drink. I had the sweetness reduced and if it wasn't for the tea, I would find it too sweet. The boba is nice and chewy. Mango Coconut Crema: A good choice if you're in the mood for a creamy smoothie vibe and want something uncaffeinated. A very rich drink, I think I'd request to reduce the crema swirl if I was to order this again. Creme Brulee: Both the creme brulee options are great if you want to have a drink that comes with boba. This is a great uncaffeinated alternative of the milk tea creme brulee. To be honest, I do prefer the tea-involved version because this really just tastes like sweet creamy milk depending on who makes the drink. I wish the brown sugar flavor was a bit more pronounced. For a nearly $10 drink, I would hope it had more complexity to it. I'd like to come back and try some more caffeinated drinks earlier in the day but I usually find myself here mid-day or early evening when I don't wish to consume anymore caffeine.

    Hands down, the BEST boba spot on the Central Coast. I'm from LA/OC and it's been SO awful living here without any good boba. I've been disappointed by every spot from Santa Barbara to SLO. However, I'm so glad that we came across this tea store! The Banana Milk and the Crème Brûlée Tea was so good. (The Banana Milk has real banana blended in it too!) I would even go as far to say that this spot would compete down in OC! We're so excited to come back to try the other flavors!

    I am picky about my boba and this definitely did not disappoint. I was able to adjust my sweetness and the boba was fresh! So refreshing on a windy Sunday.

    Sequel Tea is the best you'll find in the county for boba and milk tea! I moved out to this area several years ago from Sac and could not find anything great, until Sequel came along! I've tried almost all of the flavors- milk tea, fruit tea, matcha lattes, and specialty drinks- they're sooo delicious! It's been exciting to see Sequel grow over the years. The owner and staff are so friendly. Hands down, one of my go-to spots!

    Roasted Oolong Milk Tea

    The cashier was very polite and the service was quick. The tea is excellent--probably the best you can find in SLO. We ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea, which had the perfect balance of milk, oolong, and sweetness.

    Today, I ordered a Jasmine Cream top that is being advertised as a 22oz drink and ordered no ice. I've ordered my drink with no ice before and usually I get a bit more than this (about 70-75% full), but their cups are still not filled almost to the top. This was already questionable but today when I received my drink, literally half of the cup is only filled. When I got my drink, I asked the cashier if this was all the tea that I'm getting. He gave me a beaming smile and said "Yes." I gave him an incredulous look and then immediately left. I understand you guys use a measuring system, but so do other boba shops. I know this personally because I've worked at one. I have never seen a boba place do this before. They will fill your cup almost to the brim. Even corporate Starbucks doesn't do this. I got home and measured the volume. With the cream top, the drink filled up a little over a 350ml measuring cup which is approximately 11.8 fluid oz. 12oz when I'm ordering a 22oz drink and you're charging $6. If 22oz refers to cup size rather than liquid, that should be clearly stated--because what's being served is materially less.

    We ordered the dark roast hojicha with cream top and it was absolute perfection. The sweetness was perfectly balanced. The boba was fresh, soft and satisfyingly chewy. And that cream top was rich and smooth. Truly a drink worth savoring to the last sip.

    FOOD: They only serve drinks but a good amount of options!…read moreThere are milk teas, matchas, fruit teas, coconut clouds, peachy refreshers, milkshakes and a Vietnamese cold brew. I ordered the banana matcha latte and my bf got the Vietnamese cold brew. The Vietnamese cold brew ended up being sweeter than my matcha but that not a problem for me because I do not like my drinks sweet. A good hint of banana in my drink but mostly matcha. The banana matcha latte is available for a limited time only unlike the Vietnamese cold brew. SERVICE: We were the only ones at the store during our visit but the service was quick. There was only one person taking orders and making the drinks at the time but even then I thought she did it in a timely manner. AMBIANCE: Plenty of space and a cute instagrammable install photo-op against the wall. Plenty of seats available and some games available for groups visiting the store. There is free wifi available as well. The music playing in the background was not playing too loud. I feel like the store is still pretty empty and needs some more decorations but otherwise a good space to get some work done while enjoying your drink. Will definitely come back and try the other drinks!

Walking in you're greeted with cute cafe music taken from animal crossing. In fact, they have a video of a cafe scene of the animal crossing game playing to really set the cutesy aesthetic. The milk tea is good. They don't have as many choices when customizing sweetness, but their tea isn't too sweet at all. I enjoyed a strawberry matcha and my wife enjoyed a passionfruit green tea. Both were good. The boba was nice was good and fresh. Service was fairly quick. The girl was very sweet and offered to remake our drink if we didn't like it. We enjoyed the drink very much. Definitely a place to come and chill, study and even get a little work done.
