    Green Tea Honey Toast
    Sydney S.

    First, the bubble tea is nothing special. I do want to try their special drinks, though. Where this place shines is the desserts. These are the best Asian desserts I've ever had from a cafe!! The bingsu is just excellent, creamy and fresh and delicious. Red bean is classic, but the mango one is also amazing and includes juicy mango. The honey toast is one of the best desserts I've had in my life, though. The bread must be good brioche, the ice cream is great, and the whole combination is mouth-wateringly sweet and creamy. I'm dreaming of coming back here again. As you can see, I've been at least 7 times and come by whenever I'm in the area.

    Black Tea Macchiato

    Yay, a new boba tea spot in Lowell! Sweet Journey is located in the downtown area so be prepared to parallel park and run into a lot of one way streets just to get there. And if you travel by foot there- thumbs up to ya! It's super clean with very minimal simplistic decors with a lot of empty spaces which they totally could utilize the space with a couch and a coffee table to make it more appealing towards the crowds who wants to hangout and play the board games there (a few selections available). It sure was awkward when I was the only customer in this big empty room. Black Tea Macchiato- The combination of the sweet (coconut?) milk with a delicious bold flavored iced tea is my kind of drink. Definitely coming back again for this. Jasmine Tea Macchiato- Tasted pasty and bland. Oh powdered drinks. Original Waffle- It was dry and not fluffy. Very strange texture for waffle balls. Overall Service: Polite quiet kids. I was basically in and out.

    We are bubble tea lovers and this place is now within our top 2 in the area. Flavors were good, not too sweet. The strawberry waffle was very tasty!! We enjoyed everything we purchased and will be back soon!

    Lychee Tea with lychee jelly & mango popping boba

    I love love love Sweet Journey! I have been coming here since I was attending Middlesex in 2017! My favorite is the Original black milk tea with boba but today I decided to get the Lychee Tea with mango popping boba and lychee jelly (never disappoints me). They also have a program where you earn rewards towards a $5 off purchase. I will always come back to Sweet Journey! Plus, I love my friends there since we're on first name basis Great to know that they get to know their customers!

    Lots of options to choose from! Always check hours before you go. I've gone on a normal day and they were closed. Late hours so I always have to wait to go with the family later in the day. The waffle was okay, kind of bland. Maybe I'll try a different one next time. The strawberry was very sweet, FYI. I hope to see other flavors soon!

    The Matcha Latte was heavenly!
    Joyce W.

    Yoooooooo! I grew up in SoCal where I drank boba DAILY and Sweet Journey definitely hits my snobby boba cravings! We got the Matcha Latte (hot) and it was deliciously rich. It felt like I was lost in a luxurious pool of green tea goodness. Rich, flavorful, ever so slightly bitter, this was a kickass Matcha drink and I couldn't have been more satisfied! We also got an iced taro milk tea with grass jelly and it was the sweet escape we needed. High quality and generous, I'm salivating just thinking about it. But my fave part was probably the egg waffles! They have the waffles in original, chocolate, and matcha variations! I ordered the original one and it paired so well with our sweet drinks! Made to order, the waffles come out pipin' hot with just the right balance of crispiness and chewiness. LOVED the slightly denser texture that gave each bite an extra sweet oompf! Will 1000000% be back for more sweet journeys!!

    Pasta to go- tomato sauce with sausage
    Jailene R.

    I went to sweet journey for lunch for the first time. They had advertised pasta to go for $5.55 which is a steal around here. I ordered the marinara sauce with sausage and a passion fruit bubble tea on the side. The pasta lack luster. The sauce was ok but could have used more seasoning. The sausage was more like a keilbasa when I thought it was going to be a ground pork sausage (but I should have asked before ordering, so thats my bad). The bubble tea had very little flavor. I've had passion fruit bubble tea from other places here in Lowell and usually the flavor is strong, sweet, and sour. But this one had a much stronger tea flavor. Inside is cute and they have waffles available too. All in all it wasn't spectacular and it wasn't horrible, just so-so. I would try again (especially their waffles) and see how that goes.

    I love this place! It's my favorite place to go in downtown, Lowell whenever I crave for milk tea. The pearl is always soft, and they also brew their own tea. Many flavors to choose from and you can add any toppings you like with extra charge. I would recommend classic milk tea and taro. There are many desserts as like waffles, shave ice, honey toast and more. Regarding to level of sweetness with your drink, you can always request how you want it base on your liking. Great place for handing out with your friends. Would definitely recommend! Parking: parking can tough on busy day, but not impossible if you park a little far way in Downtown Lowell area (parking meter).

    Green Milk Tea
    Poonam S.

    3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up because there aren't a lot of boba places in Massachusetts outside of Boston. I came in at 5pm on a Friday afternoon and it was basically empty save for one couple. The drink that I ordered -- matcha milk tea with 50% sugar and no ice with boba -- was made extremely quickly as a result. The boba was softer than usual and very sweet, which I enjoyed. However, the drink itself was underwhelming. There were little streaks of matcha powder on the sides because it wasn't stirred well enough and the overall taste was not up to par with my usual standards given how weak, diluted, and powdery it tasted. Overall, I didn't mind the drink that much because it was competent enough for me to enjoy boba after not having it for a bit, but it could have been better. What I will say, though, is that the board games were a nice touch. The deserts looked pretty nice, too, and I'm hoping to give them a try if I ever visit again.

    Iced matcha latte
    Ellen H.

    What a Sweet Journey today, I went around 2/3pm on a Tuesday and no lines, only 4 other people there so I was a tad nervous. Was recommended by a local friend to come here so we thought we'd give it a try. I ordered the iced matcha latte, which is one of the most popular drinks ordered there, green tea waffle(original egg puff, iced green tea, condensed milk, almonds and whip cream), matcha and original egg waffles to-go. The egg waffles were fluffy and full of flavor. The drink came out beautifully and i had my fingers crossed hoping it wasn't one of those pretty drinks that didn't taste as good as they look, but it was amazing !!! I usually always ask for less sugar in my drinks, but i wanted to try the regular amount first, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness and tasted like real matcha. The gentlemen running the place were friendly. Not sure how long they have been open, but they should definitely put up a wall so we can't see everything going on in the kitchen up front, seems a bit cluttered back there. Also the place is really spacious and the walls are white so adding color wouldn't hurt. There's plenty of seating and tables to sit at, and games to play while enjoying your bubble tea, waffles, ice cream etc... parking: street parking

    Yum!!!!!! This was my first time trying boba tea and it was a refreshing treat. I'll be back again.

    Stopped by this coffee spot and really wanted to love it. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and…read morethe service was genuinely friendly: definitely a nice place to hang out. Unfortunately, what I ordered just didn't land. I got the seasonal campfire latte with protein powder and a matcha brownie. In hindsight, I should've kept it simple and skipped both the protein powder and the brownie. The latte tasted pretty chalky from the protein powder, and the matcha brownie unfortunately seemed stale, like it had been baked a few days prior. The vibes and service were solid, so not a total loss. I likely just ordered the wrong things. Maybe we'll give it another shot and try something simpler before we head back home to the West Coast.

    I have been to Brew'd awakening twice and liked it and would go again for the drinks but likely not…read morethe food. The first time I was there I got one of their seasonal ice cream lattes (like an affagato) and it was good two scoops of ice cream with espresso for $6 was a good deal and it tasted good as well the ice cream was good quality and the espresso was freshly and toasty. More recently I got their seasonal mango sticky rice matcha and it was very very good I would likely reccomend a matcha over a coffee if you were to come here. I had a baked good and it was only alright, I would skip it. The atmosphere is hit or miss, sometimes the artwork they have on display is nice but sometimes it is kind of freaky. It also is typically pretty hot and a little smelly with sticky tables. The staff could not be nicer though, they are very knowledgeable about the menu and are happy to help if you have questions and get your coffee ready quickly.
