This was brought to the clinic as a gift for us, so I can't speak on the service or ambiance of the establishment, but everything we tried was delicious!!! We had a matcha smoothie, which had a sweet, strong matcha flavor - my favorite. We also had a mango smoothie, which was very refreshing. For food, we tried a bubble waffle, which was topped with strawberries and vanilla wafers. So delicious!! read more

We were getting delivery from a nearby restaurant and since some of the dishes were spicy I wanted to get something sweet to balance it out. Sweet Sip definitely met our expectations that day. I got the dark and stormy milk tea which came with honey boba. It was interesting to see that you could add free toppings to your milk tea which you rarely see elsewhere. I added the passion fruit jelly and pudding. Unfortunately there were no options in the delivery app to adjust for sweetness or ice so we got the drink as is. It was very well made but was sweeter than I'd prefer (my sweetness level is 70%). However because our accompanying dinner was spicier than expected, the sweetness of the drink actually helped us! I also ordered the mochi eggpuff with pandan flavor. I'm not sure if I could taste the pandan but the eggpuff was delicious. Again, sweeter than I'd typically like but the texture was great - crunchy outside with a chewy mochi filling. We had leftovers and it heated up excellently the next day in our simple toaster oven. This was intended to be a fun add-on to our meal and turned out to be quite essential - glad we tried them out! read more

We happened to come here after looking for the closest dessert spot still open nearby at 10pm, and were so happy to have found this place! The Thai tea ice cream was the perfect level of not-too-sweet, with good Thai tea flavor still. The banana pudding egg puff was also very nice and the components worked together well. I would gladly come back. read more

Decent drinks, and good service. Sweet sip sells drinks (milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies, coffee), egg puffs, ice cream, and macaroons. The boba was good. The milk tea itself was ok. Some drinks taste more artificial than others. There are a few tables inside, and it wasn't too busy on a weekend afternoon. Service was good and the drinks were made fast. Most people seem to order their drinks and leave. I would rate it a 3.5/5, rounding up to a 4/5. read more

Cool watching them make the rolled ice cream. Never had it before and was a little gooey for my taste but a fun experience :)

Came here with my family (my cousins and uncles) and we desperately needed to get some refreshments while touring Boston. WOW, the selection and flavor had us floored! It was so good we ordered it for delivery at our airbnb one more time before we left. Im from the West Coast and this is better than most boba shops there. My uncle had a peach drink he loved, the viet iced coffee was sweet and strong, and the Okinawa milk tea with cheese foam was my favorite. The second time around I got a strawberry banana smoothie and OH MY GOD, I didn't think a boba shop could have this much range in their selection Highly, highly recommend, definitely our first stop whenever we're in town! read more

Got the order wrong twice and when we noticed the flavors were wrong, they still wanted us to pay for the wrong order...

Sweet sip and tastes here. Didn't know anything about rolled ice cream until recently. Sweet Sip was recommended by a student I work with and it is a good spot to go to if you are looking for or need a sweet treat. The fresh mango was indeed fresh. You definitely can share a rolled ice cream bowl with someone easily and still be satisfied. I recommend sharing because the portions are generous and sharing makes the treat worth it money wise especially if you are money conscious &/ want to enjoy this treat more than once a week. For one rolled mango ice cream with fresh mango on top it was $7.25 read more

So you got your replacement hip And the coldsore faded from your lip Now it's time to go drink Some good boba, I think And you'll find some right here at Sweet Sip! I really like this place! I wasn't expecting to because something told me that I wouldn't love the drinks here, but then I went ahead and I got the Strawberry Black Tea with Boba and I really enjoyed it! It had big chunks of strawberry in it and it tasted very fresh and very real and wasn't too sweet and I enjoyed all the sips and all the Boba and I'll definitely come back here again and try some of their other products. They have Vietnamese iced coffee as well (it's a Viet area) and plenty of other stuff that I want to try. They seem really friendly and it's definitely cool to have a little locally-owned place that is not corporate. Next door is the wonderful Bambu but I still prefer to come here and give all the money to little family businesses, and honestly, I love their products here. So if you take a sip here, it'll be SWEET Like my tan tattoos or Barbie's FEET So many Boba places here it's really NEAT Some on this road, some on the other STREET Don't leave without paying, that's DECEIT And I don't have friends who lie and CHEAT Unless it's on your boyfriend at a fancy RETREAT In fact, this weekend, that's where we'll MEET WHAT read more

Love love love Sweet Sip! I've been going here ever since they opened up a few years back and have not found another dessert place that has the broad type selection that they do and all their desserts just hit the spot! It's my go to place to bring people when we're craving something sweet since they have something for everyone. - froyo - macarons - bubble tea - rolled ice cream - egg puffs/waffles - don't want bubble tea but want other refreshing drinks? No problem. They have mangonadas, all sorts of lemonade blends and fruity drinks, smoothies, etc. While you really can't go wrong with anything on their menu, I especially like their mangonadas and always get their froyo since there is literally no where else to get froyo in the area. read more

I was really looking forward to trying a new boba dessert place in Dorchester, but this place sadly did not deliver. Upon arriving, I noticed they had a large variety of options to choose from on their menu and was excited to try everything. We ordered a pandan egg waffle and the matcha strawberry latte. The pandan egg waffle was okay, but the matcha strawberry was practically inedible! It was so chalky and difficult to swallow. When we shared this with the cashier, he said we would have to pay for another drink because we "already drank it". I was so disappointed that I immediately went over to tbaar in Quincy and got another drink Plenty of other boba places in the area to try with great customer service! read more

Not too many decent dessert places around Dorchester. It's hard to find that unicorn . This is not one of that place. It got a decent extensive menu of smoothies , coffee , teas and roll up ice cream. Nice setting decor inside with several seatings and tables . The smoothies are little bland and the froyo are decent. Nothing special . Maybe next time I'll try other smoothies or Viet coffee. read more

This place is one of my guilty pleasures. I discovered Sweet Sip via Grubhub and I have yet to be disappointed. I've ordered many of the smoothies/boba combos and they all have been excellent. I've also had the macarons and they are pretty good but the star of the show is the smoothie. I definitely recommend. read more

They load up with toppings, super great and delicious place! Like nothing I've ever had

Me and my children decided to try this place out. I got a mango madness rolled ice cream and a passion pineapple butterfly tea. The drink was light and refreshing. The first sip caused that little zippy feeling at the back of your jaw (which was fun). The rolled ice cream was delicious. It was smooth and creamy and loaded with mango flavor. My kids boy loved what they got. I will 100% be back to this place. read more

Best taste and price for vietnamese coffee in Dorchester. Service was great as well. They gave me a pink straw, which made my day lol.

Just go to Bambu next door. This place is a low quality boba/dessert place. Everything tasted bland. The tea tasted watered down and lacked flavor. The boba did not taste like boba, it tasted like plastic, as if they purchased cheap premade boba. They have a decent seating area with board games but unfortunately their boba tea lacks flavor. The one thing that does look cool is the frozen ice cream unlimited toppings. I didn't try their ice cream so I can't vouch for the taste. Next door is Bambu and their boba tea is some of the best I've ever had read more

Amazing staff, amazing drinks, and amazing service! Love coming here and to the Braintree location.

Today I ordered a Mango Sobert with mango popping boba, mango jelly, and lychee jelly. I was charged $9.36 because of the added toppings, but before today the toppings had always free. I told the lady there, but was told that toppings had always been charged for froyos. I also told the lady about how the toppings were always given free before, but she wouldn't change the price. Since I was buying for someone else, I couldn't say no to the unfair price. I think that the workers should look over prices because some say toppings are charged for froyo and others don't. This was very confusing and costly, and has definitely been my worse visit. read more

Being located next door to competitor Bambu is either a brilliant business tactic or just plain foolish. On our first visit, I discovered Sweet Sip was simply UnderRated! FYI, Ordering counter is located on the left side, while pick-up is directly at the front as you enter... Cute ambiance, plenty of seating, TV for entertainment. Friendly and patient employees. They provide a decorative seating area where you can take all the IG worthy and selfie pics your heart desires lol. Evidently, the paper flower arrangements change seasonally?!? The menu consists of a vast variety. Great prices and they offer unlimited toppings. Score! Really wanted to sample the rolled ice cream but after my huge lunch, my bloated tummy could not handle any more food. :-( Do visit on an emptier belly! With so many drink choices, I was a bit overwhelmed. The Butterfly Drinks looked really appealing, however I opted for a Matcha Milk Tea. Basic but delicious! Even my beau, who is not all too familiar with bubble teas enjoyed it. Just the right blend of milk, tea and Matcha. I could still taste tea! My sister ordered the Chamango and Thai Milk Tea. If you're contemplating on the Chamango, Get it!! Best mango shake I've had at a bubble tea shop. The included tajin did give it an extra kick. We were a bit disappointed with the Thai Milk Tea. We asked for no ice and clearly they did not fill the entire cup, as pictured below. Kind of felt cheated. If this is specifically how it's comes without ice, they should inform you prior to ordering... read more

A friend brought me here and it was my first time. I was a bit nervous, but I'm glad I went. It's a cute and aesthetic spot. I see people come here to do their homework or hang out for fun. When I got there, the first thing I noticed was hard working employees. They were so focused on getting orders right and making their customers were content. That's how I knew I was going to have a great experience there. They do not only sell milk teas, but also rolled ice cream, macaroons, and egg puffs! So go! I got a winter melon milk tea with boba. It was amazing! read more

Highly recommend rolled ice cream. It's a rather laborious process to prepare but the wait time is definitely worth it. A Sweet Sip employee will use a pair of spatulas to slice dice and roll the ice cream flavors you choose. I've become a huge fan of their strawberry green tea combo. The ice cream is super dense and rich- almost like enjoying creamy fudgey denser Haagen Dazs. One spoonful in your mouth takes a while to melt bc it's so dense so you can almost chew the ice cream- a very unusual but pleasant experience. Try their pandan egg puffs. Savory custard pastry that is chewy inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. There are a bevy of smoothie and milk tea options with all sorts of fillers to enjoy (sip chew sip chew). No attitude or hipster pretense here. Just young hardworking people enjoying their work happy to put smiles on patrons faces. read more

I finally had a chance to try Sweet Sip last night! I arrived with my equally as enthusiastic friend. Sweet Sip's menu is extensive, offering sweets such as rolled ice cream, smoothies, boba tea, and baked goods like macaroons (a bunch of flavors to choose from). There is plenty of seating here and lots of cute decor. I tried the Joker (~$4.80 for a regular size), which consisted of matcha milk tea (yum) and strawberry jelly. My friend had the Rose Lychee Butterfly Tea drink (~$5) and a passion fruit flavored macaroon (~$2.50/ea.). The Joker drink was pretty good! I loved the distinctive layers of matcha and milk. The strawberry jelly wasn't that visible unless you twirled your straw around. I would've also liked more of it in my drink! The cashier reminded us to stir our drinks after we got them, and she was right- after several sips,​ I managed to drink most of the milk (white layer), which left me with a lot of matcha flavor that was on the verge of bitter. After letting it dilute and settle a bit, it got sweeter again. So, the lesson here is... **ALWAYS STIR THE DRINK AFTER TAKING PICTURES OF IT!! ;- )** The matcha layer is very thick and concentrated! My friend's butterfly tea was lovely and beautiful! Each layer blended into one another and encompassed the colors of a sunset!!! She really enjoyed it and also loved her macaroon. They give you a loyalty card after your purchase. If you buy 8 drinks/rolled ice cream, you'll get your 9th one for free! I'm excited to try one of the butterfly teas the next time I visit! read more

I've been here a handful of times and always have a pleasant experience each time. So far I've only had their milk teas and rolled ice cream and both are really good. I love that they have so many different flavors for the rolled ice cream. You can even combine 2 flavors and make it custom! And you get unlimited toppings! Their ice cream rolls have the perfect creamy texture that I enjoy as some other places that make rolled ice cream ends up kinda being icy. Last time I went the tables next to us had the egg puffs with ice cream on top and that looked bomb so I'm looking forward to trying that next! read more

I live in the neighborhood, so this is my boyfriend and I's favorite spot to grab boba close by. I've been coming for the past 2 years and they are consistent with their drinks. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because some of their drinks are a miss and just taste meh to me (I was a bubble tea barista for a while). For example, the Mangonada is good if you are into that, but selling it with green apple or passion fruit just doesn't make sense to me! It was not my favorite thing I have ever tasted (passion fruit). Also the service is quite slow, even when no one else is there. This was a constant even pre-covid. Speaking of covid- They have a plastic barrier between the customer and workers, I never feel like it is packed in there and there's space to wait outside as well. I don't feel nervous coming in to grab a drink. They provide hand sanitizer as well! read more

I stumbled in here by accident, I supposed to go next door for dessert, I didn't realize this place exist, so when I asked for the desserts I wanted, they said they dont have it, it's only drinks and ice cream, I was confused since I saw it on here, but I went ahead to order drinks, while waiting, I looked at the wall, then the receipt, I stepped outside and looked at their sign "Sweet sip" oh shoot I went in the wrong store, so of course I went next door to have my desserts fix. So back to this place, I liked their drinks. Butterfly colorful drinks look pretty and refreshing, it's a bit sour, would be better if it's sweeter, matcha milk tea & other milk teas were good, egg puffs were soft and tasty. Staff are friendly. I'll definitely come back for other drinks. read more

After reading all the reviews for this place, I was really excited to try it. But to be honest, I was a little disappointed in the drinks we got. The Joker matcha drink we got had a powdery taste to it...and overall both drinks we tried just tasted standard, nothing special. We just expected better...compared to other boba drink places we've been to. But they looked really pretty though, for pictures! BUT on the other hand, aside from the drinks, we haven't tried the rolled icecream or egg puffs so....I guess need to do this place justice and come back to try those one day... read more

As much as I wanted to like this place, I ended up being really disappointed and don't think I will come back. I love bubble tea and I trekked all the way here from the last stop on the other end of the Red Line because I saw on Yelp that this was a new place with good reviews. Unfortunately I was told that they didn't have any boba for the drink toppings when I ordered. I came here at noon and I think they open at 11am. The pricing structure for the drinks is also very frustrating: you get unlimited toppings in your beverage for one flat price. I only like boba and not the fruity / juicy stuff like popping boba, jellies, and aloe, so I ended up just getting a drink with no add ons. No toppings and all toppings cost the same... I wanted a milk tea first but prefer having it with pearls so instead I got the green tea smoothie. The smoothie was made with matcha powder, ice cream, condensed milk, and what looked like pandan syrup to give it a greenish tint. It was very bland and had an unpleasant gritty taste to it, likely from the matcha powder. I couldn't finish it and tossed about 1/3 in the trash. Staff are very nice but it isn't enough to warrant a return. read more

I'm a little torn about Sweet Sip. Their drinks are creative and unique, so kudos to that. I also like that they offer some of the special drinks hot. Price-wise, it's a little steep compared to other boba shops. Unlimited toppings doesn't appeal to me-- I like milk tea with just boba. Overall the drinks are on the sweet side, but they prob do customizations. The boba was too soft and could be more chewy. The matcha pancake/egg puffs were crispy on the outside and too dense/not fluffy enough on the inside. Just doesn't compare to the egg puff lady in Chinatown :( Service was pretty slow, nowhere near Teado or Kung Fu Tea efficiency. The place was empty and we waited 15 minutes for our drinks so I can't even imagine what the wait is like when the place is packed. Overall I give them 3.5 stars. I'll be back to try their signature drinks and rolled ice cream. read more

If you're looking for a place to get dessert then sweet sip is a great place to stop by if you're in Dorchester. Granted it's next-door to Bambu but take into consideration that they are different.

It's also really nice that rolled ice cream is a set price of $6.50 with unlimited toppings and for just $3 more you can add pandan egg waffle!! read more

The sunset butterfly was also flavorful, with a mix of orange pulp, strawberry syrup, and tea. It's really good but make sure to mix it well or it will be a little too sweet. It reminds me of my mom's home made honey orange juice! read more
