    I arrived around 1p, and sadly, a lot of the options were gone. Get there early! I'm not sure if the items are made in-house or elsewhere. Nonetheless, what I got tasted fine. However everything seemed to use the same base, milk bread. Before going I didn't realize that would be the case. The loaf of milk bread was good and I was able to use it many ways. Room temp with whipped and berries, toasted like texas toast and used for a po' boy inspired sandwich, as toast with breakfast... I enjoyed it. In addition to the baked goods (sweet and savory options), they also have a variety of drinks which I didn't try.

    I love how they have a cute bakery section along with the drinks, a lot of boba places don't have that. The staff was also kind and really fast with the drinks. I of course had to go get some bread and try a few things and I loved them! My favorite is the coconut heart with the soft milk bread and coconut flavoring! I got the avocado pomelo sago smoothie and I loved it! It has a few pieces of mango and what tasted like rice pudding in it (I was surprised) and it was delicious! My partner got the brown sugar boba and said that it was the right amount of sweetness and the boba was made really well. Overall, great pit stop if you're driving by!

    Coconut heart! Sweet and delicious!

    This is located at a strip mall and it appears they are expanding, which is exciting! There is plenty of parking! The inside of this place is SUPER cute! There are benches to sit at while you wait for your drink to be made but no additional seating inside. They sell sweet and savory items as well as bubble/ milk teas. Everything was packaged individually. I got 2 sweet bread options. They tasted like a Hawaiian sweet roll but ever better!! The coconut on both just made these taste amazing! The butter cream on the inside of the coconut butter cream bun was light and airy! It tasted like a whipped butter and was amazing with the bread! The strawberry milk tea had an overly fake strawberry taste and I didn't care for that much. I would happily go back and try another flavor. The service here was so/so and I felt rushed when trying to order my drink. No one was smiling or felt approachable. The adorable decor and packaging made up for that. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to try! Can't wait to see their expansion!

    4.25* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 4* 04/08/2023 Saw this place after dropping my wife off for shopping and given my voracious sweet tooth...I had to check it out! Since Bubble Tea was in the name I had to try it, going with a recommendation with half the sugar from my server. The bubble tea was very good and I'd recommend it - there are flavors and sweetness levels to suit any taste buds. I especially enjoyed the sweet breads from the display case. I brought danish-type of bread with peach filling and another with coconut filling to a party and everyone who tasted it liked it and asked where I got it. In addition, I bought a loaf of the Coconut Sweet Bread and brought it home - it had great coconut flavoring with just the right level of sweetness, making great sandwiches for several days. While I didn't try any on this trip since we had just eaten lunch, they also offered a number of single-serving savory offerings, which would be great for lunch. Definitely a place that you'll want to try if you like Bubble Tea or sweet breads! If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

    Mango Milk Tea with Boba
    Kripa M.

    A cute little place with a bakery located in a strip. I went early on a Sunday morning so there was still plenty of bakery items to choose from. I got three different things from the bakery and they were all delicious. Also tried the Mango Milk tea which was also delicious. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again.

    Ooh la la, sweet percent has everything you'd want to satisfy a sweet tooth craving and more! The inside is welcoming and adorable. The service was quick and easy. And the pastries were DELICIOUS! I tried the cream bread rolls and they were fluffy and addictive- highly recommend roasting them for a hot sec in an air fryer - you will not regret it! As for their boba teas - I tried the plain milk tea and it was sooo refreshing. If I'm ever in the area again I'll certainly be back!

    Expanding to twice the size ... coming soon!

    Location: strip mall easy access Inside: clean with wonderful bakery smells Drinks: broad assortment of flavors (They use powders, not fresh -1 star) Future: They are expanding to double their size. Definitely worth a visit!

    this is where my love for strawberry milk tea began.. SO GOOD! i was surprised by the oreo bun i thought it was gonna be either too much or not enough but it was just right lol my favorite out of the buns i've tried so far

    Taro bubble tea with tapioca pearls, so good! @mneatsandtreats on Instagram

    I've been wanting to check out this Chinese bakery and bubble tea spot for quite some time so I was super excited when I was in the area for errands. I've tried other Asian self-serve bakeries like this and I have to say this one is one of my new favorites. Although the shop isn't in the nicest looking area on the outside, the inside was beautifully decorated and the smell of fresh bread instantly hits your senses as soon as you walk through the door. They have a wide selection of self-serve flavored breads that you can place on the tray and bring to the cashier. At the cashier they have a menu set up on an iPad as well as on the wall behind them. Makes it useful to browse through the menu without straining your eyes! I tried the Taro bubble tea with fresh tapioca pearls and it was sooo delicious. Not watered down and came in this nice hard plastic cup with a lid and hole for boba straw. The tapioca pearls were warm so I knew they were just made. They were chewy and perfectly sweet. As for breads I got the cream cheese filled bread upon recommendation by the cashier as well as the pineapple bread. Both were lightly sweetened, fluffy, and delicious. I wish I lived near here because I know I would probably come weekly! Highly recommend giving this place a chance.

    Love this Asian bakery! The items were fresh and thee assortment was huge! The teas were different from what I've ever seen or tasted. I got a "Cheese Jasmine Green Tea." I know "Cheese" sounds weird but it was the flavored cream or froth on-top of the drink and it was like the best part. Crazy! I would definitely come back and it's next to a handful of other Asian businesses as well as the large Dragon Star market.

    So pretty! These freshly baked goods are delicious.

    I saw this gem pop up on Instagram and immediately knew I needed to get there. Sweet Percent is a lovely Chinese bakery and boba tea/other drink spot. You'll find a case of fresh baked sweet and savory goods, and, a wonderful drink menu. They also do specialty cakes. I purchased a loaf of coconut toast and a fruity boom, more specifically, the Orange Boom. The drink had loads of oranges in it, and I think a magic elixir, because it was amazing. I took the coconut toast home and cut off a slice to eat plain. There's a wonderful hint of sweetness and you'll find some coconut flakes there as well. It's so good, ya'll. I absolutely can't wait to go back and try more of the beverages. The lovely person behind the counter was so friendly, and, she's the one that painted the fantastic mural on the wall. So talented! See you soon, Sweet Percent!

    So so so delicious! I got the pineapple bun and the bread was so fluffy and the filling was just right, not too sweet but the portion was great, and tasted delightful. I've been to many Asian bakeries growing up on the west coast such as sunmerry, 85 degrees, paris baguette, and let me say the one at sweet percent is one of the best I ever had and to compared to those mass produced chains. There's not many modern Asian bakeries to choose from in the cities so I'm glad that sweet percent exists and executes their buns with excellence!

    Do you take birthday cake order anymore?

    We do but it’s only fruit cakes and we only have limited designs.

    I have not gone to this place yet and am looking for a bakery that sells cute cake like in the photos provided. Is cake still a treat that is being offered here? Want to make sure before I make the drive. Thanks!

    Hi, we currently stopped our cakes and plan on resuming in the future. Thanks!

    Does anyone knows if they take cake orders anymore?

    Unfortunately we don’t do cakes anymore as least for now. Sorry for the inconvenience.… Read more

    Edit: Nguyen, appreciate the apology for putting the wrong name! I'm thrilled to give back that 5th…read morestar that Freshly Leaf deserves :-) Not only does Freshly Leaf have cute decor and merchandise, but they have great drinks. We both got the ube latte and loved it. We appreciated that they were able to customize drinks and asked questions to ensure the drinks were to our liking. Surprisingly the place wasn't packed despite our coming on a Saturday afternoon. Maybe next time we'll have to buy drinks AND merchandise. ;-)

    I really enjoyed this place! From the squish of the boba to paintings on the wall, everything was…read moreawesome! I ordered a strawberry milk tea with tapioca pearls. It came pretty fast and tasted great. The drink was really cold which gave a perfect contrast to the warm boba. When ordering you have a choice of less sweet or more sweet and different toppings cost different amounts. There are regular, special and premium topics that gradually go up on price. Compared to other places, this boba cafe is slightly more expensive, but because of the quality of the drink, I would say the price is worth it. There was another drink that sounded similar to the strawberry milk tea, so I asked a staff member. They seemed really uninterested and didn't really give me a clear answer. I assumed that they didn't know and asked another staff member only to get the exact same reaction and still not receive a clear answer. I had to search it up and finally I figured out the difference. The ambiance of this store might be my favorite one ever. There is a huge painting on a wall near the entrance that is so welcoming. The place is cute and cozy and reminds me of a board game night. There are tons of adorable boba themed games spread out on the tables. It's such a fun concept and definitely kept me entertained! Overall I absolutely loved this boba cafe and would definitely recommend it!
