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.
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!
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!
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!!
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).
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.
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.

I was very excited to find out that there was a new bubble tea shop in downtown Lowell. I'm always glad to see new businesses open up there. I could see this place being a cool, new after school hangout/study spot for students from LHS and MCC. There's wifi and a bunch of classic games like Monopoly, Jenga, Uno, Heads Up, and etc. The shop is located right across the street from The Old Court. It is very open, clean and spacious. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The menu has a variety of teas, smoothies, and desserts. The price range is reasonable and affordable. Everything is listed between $3-9. I ordered the Jasmine Green Milk Tea and the Chocolate Shibuya Toast. I really enjoyed both, especially the toast! I highly recommend trying that. My friend ordered the Strawberry Waffle and I had a few bites. I love waffles and the waffle itself was delicious, but the strawberry tasted a little too sour. We didn't realize until halfway through finishing it that it was missing the almonds. Overall, I would definitely say Sweet Journey is worth a visit. I'll be back soon to try the other Shibuya toasts and the Bingsu Snow Ice. read more

Found this unsuspecting gem while strolling around downtown Lowell on a Saturday night. I have to admit, I was a little worried seeing as it was super vacant inside. The store itself is super white and kind of blah. They also have all their powders out in the open for everyone and their moms to see so customers know their fruit smoothies are probably not made with fresh fruit. I never get smoothies at boba places anyways - I just stick to the milk teas. I tried their jasmine milk green tea and thought it was pretty good! Good ratio of tea to milk...not watered down. Solid stuff. Their boba had a good texture too. I also opted for their "original waffle on the move" which is basically an egg puff bubble waffle with powdered sugar. I am such a sucker for those egg puffs and Sweet Journey did a good job with theirs. Sweet Journey is a pretty decent place to hangout at - they have Jenga and Cards Against Humanity. read more

I've been on a bubble tea kick of late, and this passion fruit with bobas is the best I've had. The bobas at Kung Fu are so sweet that I have to order half the normal amount. These bobas are perfect and you get that delightful texture with every sip. We'll be back to try the desserts! read more

Hi, I'm Agnes, I'm 6 years old, and I loooooooove unicorns! I love them so much that I'm going to find one to be my pet forever and ever! Today, me and my older sisters went off on an adventure, but all they want to do is boring older kid stuff... Ugh. Oooooo what's that place, "Sweet Journey!", that sounds like a place that is full of candy... and Unicorns looove candy!! When my sisters went into the bathroom, I sneaked over to Sweet Journey. As I walked in my first thought was, "AHHH! This is the BEST place ever"! They had games and lots of sweets....Mhmmmmm. I LOVE Sweets! After seeing the menu, I asked the nice man for the Big Fluffy Waffle with LOTS of Ice Cream. A few minutes later, he came out with the most beatifulest thing I have ever seen. I screamed, "It's So Fluffy I'M Going To Die!" It smelled like candy and was the bestest thing ever, and as I was eating a Burst came from the door. Three Minions came in riding a... "WHAT'S THAT!! A Unicorn!?! OMG! My Brain is Going to Explode!" The man behind the counter looked happy too as he gave us Sweets and Bubble Tea... YUMMMM! Well, that's it.... Agnes out, Peace! Hehehe :) IG: #bluehanky137 read more

I love boba so I could easily be biased but let me just say not all boba is equal so here is a review. I got the honeydew milk tea with mango popping boba, and two sips in I decided to write a review. This is totally worth the money, I came at a dead hour so I got my order in no time at all. I was on my way to school with some time to kill so I placed an order. I had been wanting to go in for forever but on my last day of classes is when I finally had the time. I loved it so much that when I got out of class early I bought two more orders and shared with my siblings. They loved it so much I didn't get a chance for a picture. I wish I had a place like this closer to home so I could order for delivery whenever I want. read more
I was surprised to find this little gem here. The service is very good. They have Internet that you can utilize to do work or study. I thought this place was very tasty in comparison to California. And I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area. I went here almost every day that I was in town read more
