This boba shop is seriously one of my favorites. The taro is my absolute favorite , it's so creamy, perfectly sweet, and just the right consistency every time. The staff is always friendly and it's so cute inside. If you're a boba lover, this place is a must try read more

I've come here quite a few times since my initial review and always had a pretty good experience. Today was not one of them. I ordered ahead and surprisingly my drink was ready before the pick up time. I said Hello to the staff member who didn't acknowledge me but did work on packing up my drinks. Although I would expect a worker to greet customers as well as say a cordial thank you TO their customers, she did not. I even initiated the Thank You after she set my drinks in front of me but again she did not even say You're Welcome. Wish I got her names. Not a good look for this place. read more

The Rose lavender tea is delicious. Even the plain jasmine green tea on ice is quality! Delicious. Friendly and fun Boba shop in Napa! My son worked at Boba shops in SF while in high school so he knows his stuff. He says it is legit. Parking is not easy. but you can try to park at the high school across the street or park on the residential side streets and walk a bit. Worth the walk read more

Sweet Straw was the first boba shop that popped up in my map when I was looking for a boba shop near my hotel. The shop is hard to miss - there's a neon pink sign that reads, "Hella Open." The menu includes a variety of traditional and seasonal tea beverages. What I really liked is that Sweet Straw doesn't up-charge for alternate milks. While I visited in the evening (after 5 PM), there were still a handful of customers waiting to place and pick up their orders ahead of me. Overall, it took about 10 minutes to prepare my order of 4 drinks because only one person was taking orders and making the drinks. The mango matcha with oatmilk was delicious! I've never tried mango and matcha together before and wasn't sure what to expect, but the sweet mango purée nicely balanced the matcha (which can sometimes be bitter). While I loved my drink, my friends who ordered the Thai iced tea wished they could have adjusted the sweetness lower. Overall, I enjoyed my beverage and appreciated that Sweet Straw was still open when I had a late-in-the-day boba craving. read more

stopping by with a bunch of children for some drinks...browsing menu above the order counter...told to get in line to the right...children placing different orders one-by-one for blended drinks, fresh milk drinks and fruity drinks...majority of the drinks are $5.50-$5.75 medium to $6-6.25 large...drinks came out pretty quickly, so probably mostly all mixes and syrups...took a large vietnamese iced coffee drink...it wasn't as strong or potent as most vietnamese iced coffee drinks, but it had the sweet coffee flavors of one...$6.25 for a large under the special tea section...it had too much ice and too little drink, so ask for less ice... read more

Sweet Straw - Wintermelon Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Napa, California

Five stars because of the service and customization of drinks. I asked if I could add different flavors for my drink and the employee helping me explained to me that I could add different syrups at no extra cost. I got a strawberry mango jasmine milk tea with boba. She gave me a sample of the drink and I asked if she could add a bit more strawberry flavor. My drink tasted great. Great service, I will return! read more

I've been to Sweet Straw a few times for drinks. I usually get the matcha drinks. I like the strawbery matcha latte. It's not too sweet and balances well with the strawberry flavor. The boba is not as soft and chewy in comparison to other places. There are not other places that serve boba in Napa, so if you're craving boba, this is tge only place you'll find it. The staff were nice and were quick with orders. read more

Sweet Straw - Strawberry Matcha Latte with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Napa, California

Cute place! Seems popular as it is only one of the few boba places in town. Ordered the honey daze with boba -- their drink isnt anything special but I would have to recommend getting their boba. It's very soft, chewy and sweet! Workers were also great. They did make a mistake on my friend's drink but they fixed it right away. Great boba photo-op with the background!! read more

Sweet Straw has been so hit or miss lately. ;(. I normally love the Strawberry Matcha Lattes (one of my go-tos) but last time it was kind of disgusting. Then I got the horchata ice blended and the only part I like about it is the boba. There's too much of a spice in it (I want to say cinnamon but not sure) and both times I don't feel comfortable asking for a redo & if I were to... 1. I'm busy 2. For the horchata the whole thing is premade for the day (thus why they can't substitute the milk into oat milk). I'm just so disappointed today but it is what it is. The other 2 times that were good (so past 4 visits is a 50:50 ratio of yum to yuck) was the "Storeo" which is a strawberry-oreo off menu thing they can make. But IDK, I feel like that drink is too easy to make/not mess up. I want good quality for all drinks. read more

After Brunch With My Neice This Morning I Asked Her If She Wanted Bobba Tea For Something Sweet & She Instantly Said "Siiii". HaHaHa So I Found This Place Here On Yelp. Read Some Good Reviews & Since We Were Close By We Decided To Stop By. The Place Is A Small Hole-In-The-Wall Right On Jefferson! We Actually Misssed It The First Time Around Since It's Between A Mexican Bakery & A Beauty Salon. There Is Only Street Parking So If You Are Lucky To Find A Spot Right In Front Of The Store You Should Be Good! We Were Lucky! The Customer Service Was Good. I Saw About Three Young Girls Running The Shop. The Drinks Came Out Quick. My Neice Got A Medium Bobba Thai Tea. She Said It Was "Spectacular". Keep In Mind My Neice Is A Bobba Addict So Mostly Anything With Bobba She Loves. HaHa As For Myself, I'm Not Really A Bobba Fan. However, They Do Have Other Drinks & Blended Smoothies. I Did Get A Tropical Blend Smoothie. It Was To Sweet For My Liking. I Did Drink Half Of It Though. The Shop Does Have A Small Very Instagramable Garden Wall With A Sign That Says "Treat Yourself" So Of Course The Neice Wanted A Pic In Front Of It. It Was A Really Nice Pic. Overall, Would I Come Back? Most Likely Not Since I Am Not Really Into These Kind Of Drinks. If I'm Ever In The Area With Someone Who Likes Bobba I Now Know Of A Place. read more

When the weather heats up I always start craving boba. I was visiting a friend in Napa and when I was planning my trip I saw this shop was close to her home and decided I needed to try it. There's a lot close by you can park to and walk over easily. I loved the energy of the restaurant--fun music, good vibes, and happy employees that seemed eager to please. Initially I wanted to get my regular Thai tea with taro, but they didn't have it on the menu. The employee was very enthusiastic about trying to create a custom drink, but when I saw the lavender milk on the menu--which I haven't tried before--I decided to go for that. My friend got a regular Thai tea with boba. They describe their drinks as tea-forward and I love that--I'm not a huge fan of super sweet drinks. You can customize sweetness, and though I normally go for 50 or 75%, I was happy with the 100% I got. My friend's Thai tea had a delicious roasted flavor. Excellent drink-to-boba ratio and we love the compostable straw. Bonus: they had really cute merchandise including affordable reusable straws. Loved this place and can't wait to visit again! read more

Spent a weekend in Napa and of course a road trip home wouldn't be complete without a boba drink. Found Sweet Straw on a Yelp search so we dropped by before heading out. I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with aloe vera and grass jelly -- really impressive. The tea taste was prominent and not too sweet. Really refreshing and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire cup on the drive home. I'm looking forward to trying something different the next time I'm in Napa. Would definitely recommend! read more

Kind of expensive but it's really a great place to get boba. It's fresh and tasty but with some long waits. You are able to pick your sweetness level. A pretty awkward location but convenient for the Napa High Students. read more

HELLA SMALL. Love the decor and their "HELLA OPEN" sign but that's it. They had like 2 people making drinks and neither of them was moving with urgency. The boba was old or something because it was hard. I got the strawberry matcha with oat milk and it just didn't hit the spot. The bf got the oreo with ice cream and they put the ice cream at the bottom? Is that normally how it goes? I've had my fair share of boba at different places, but this one just ain't it. read more

I'm so happy Napa has a really good boba spot! The place is small, and they're pretty busy! Constantly customers coming in. Nowhere to sit. The whole place smells like boba heaven! I got the Okinawa milk tea with boba and it's delicious! Their boba balls are the correct texture! I'm definitely coming back:) read more

This place looked nice but it took 30+ minutes to get our order. Everyone else's came out before us. The tea was warm with ice and you couldn't even lower the sugar below 50%. The staff was nice and inside was clean, but the tea wasn't that great. read more

I ordered matcha latte today and had a diarrhea after drinking it. My mother-in-law ordered Hong Kong Style milk tea and she said it's not authentic. read more

Can this beautiful little shop be any sweeter?! I couldn't help but smile at the 'Hella Open' neon sign in the window and again the minute I walked in. The fresh and hip design aesthetic sparks joy! I went a few weeks ago and tried the Boba Fresh Milk: 2 portions of boba, brown sugar, and choice of milk (think I had 2%). This might have been my second boba EVER...crazy, I know...and I really enjoyed it! It was a delicious, textural, filling and sweet afternoon treat! Owner Yesenia and her team offer an extensive menu of beverages and I look forward to trying others when I'm back in the area - Strawberry Matcha Latte, I'm coming for you! Make sure you take some photos of your pretty drink in front of the Instagram-worthy 'Treat Yourself' neon sign and green wall! Note: to maintain social distancing they only allow 6 people inside at a time (it's a tiny shop). I didn't have to wait when I was there on a weekday afternoon, but even if there is a wait, turnover should be quick. Wishing this one-year-old, women-owned, small local business continued success! Life is short, TREAT YOURSELF! read more

Went a few days ago with a friend and did not realize the time they closed. If I had to guess we showed up a few minutes before they closed which was completely our fault. Instead of the employee kindly saying they're closing soon or that they can't serve us since they were about to be closed, we were basically yelled at and told they were closed. There was still a line though so we had just assumed they were open. read more

After going horseback riding Hubby and I were craving for boba since it was super hot out. I was looking around for boba places but there doesn't seem to be many in Napa. I was able to find Sweet Straw through Yelp so we decided to go, since other places are either closed or further from us. Once we arrived we stood in line to order. It's a pretty small shop, but I love the décor that they had on one of the walls. Hubby ordered the mango fruit tea and I got the dragon fruit elixir. The drinks were really good! I read about them having a Vietnamese iced coffee drink there and wanted to try, but with it being so late already in the day when we went, I didn't want to end up not falling asleep later that night. Since it seems like this is the only boba place in Napa, we'll most likely be back to grab boba when we come visit again. I'm looking forward to trying their other drink items on their menu as everything sounded so good! read more

The best boba in Napa & beyond! The variety on the menu is just right. My favorite has to the strawberry matcha

Decent boba place! It's a cute little shop--there is no seating area, but the interior is decorated nicely. I love the green nature-y backdrop with the neon lights. Great for photos. I also loved the little Christmas tree that was up in the shop! As for the drink, I got the wintermelon milk tea with the cheese creama, and it was delicious. Maybe a little overpriced for how minimal the drink is, but still good nonetheless. I got the 75% sweetness level which was fine, but I probably could have even gone down to 50% sweetness. Overall not bad! read more

What a sweet little find in an unexpected location! The surroundings are mostly Hispanic shops (the bakery next door will entice you with AMAZING smells) so I was shocked to see a boba spot open up! Pleasant surprises continued as they have Hispanic-influenced options on the menu and I LOVE a good fusion. Aesthetic - 10/10 They don't have much space to work with but they don't need it! They've done amazing work with their hole-in-the-wall location from the absolutely inviting outside to the lush, trendy plant wall on the inside, I could not stop snapping photos. Staff - 10/10 The girls who helped me today were so sweet and resourceful! I've been to many boba shops and everyone mixes differently so they were a great help to guide me to the drink I want. Our order: - Thai Tea + boba (75% sweetness + less ice) - I'm used to Thai tea knocking my socks off with sweetness so I was sure to ask how sweet I should order it. 75% might actually not have been sweet enough but what's nice is that it didn't feel like an afternoon sugar bomb like a lot of places make it. The flavor was traditional Thai Tea and the boba was fresh and plenty of it! - Horchata (iced) - Who would've thought of horchata at a boba place?! My partner and I are obsessed with horchata so he had to try it and MAN IT WAS DELICIOUS. I was kinda jealous TBH and wanted to order one for my own! Check out this new(ish) local Napa spot but definitely go during the school day to avoid the teenager rush. read more

I ordered a blended cafechata with boba. The flavor was pretty good, but I would've preferred that it could've been ordered without sweetener/sugar and coffee grounds The coffee grounds throw off the flavor and texture. The boba itself could be cooked longer. It felt quite firm in the center and wasn't as chewy as I'm used to. They have lots of potential if they can improve on their quality production. read more

Quick service and person behind the counter helped with the suggestions. Tiny place, but cute. The drink was really good and flavor was what I expected with black sesame. The only reason I docked a star was that it's too liquid-y. Seems too watered down. read more

Sweet Straw - Black sesame Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Napa, California

I really want to like this place but I left feeling disappointed and still craving a milk tea. I decided to try this place again. I ordered the Taro Taro. Basically a Taro milk tea with taro chunks. Unfortunately, it tasted like water and taro powder. The chunks? The flavor? Lacking. The "chunks" were little pieces of taro but the boba overpowered it a lot so it didn't even seem like there were any in my drink. I still like their boba- soft, chewy and sweet, but the drink was still so watery and still lacked flavor. There was a weird watery after taste that didn't leave my taste buds until after I masked it with something else. The place is cute and it looks like a lot of people love their drinks but this place isn't somewhere I'd go to when I'm craving a milk tea and boba. read more

I was surprised to find boba in NAPA! Didn't have really high expectations for this place since Napa is more known for their wine than boba. I got the wintermelon milk tea and strawberry matcha latte. Both drinks blew my mind! They turned out so much better than I thought it would be. You can actually taste the matcha in the matcha latte. The staff was so super nice and drinks came out quickly! WOULD DEF GO BACK IF I'M IN THE AREA! read more

Sweet Straw - Wintermelon Milk Tea with Soy Milk! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Napa, California

For the first boba spot to open up in Napa, I think it's definitely a start and a cute place to pick up a drink without having to go all the way to American Canyon or Vallejo. It looks like their matcha tea lattes are fresh milk teas are popular but I myself have high expectations for boba. It's no boba guys but it's good enough to fulfill a craving if you're in the area. The staff was really nice and they adhere to social distancing. Parking isn't too bad, you can find street parking but Jefferson is somewhat of a busy street. There's a little parking lot close by. The store is very small and no places to sit if dining were to be open again so it's a mainly to-go spot. I got the strawberry matcha latte with boba. It had pieces of strawberry and it was good enough for me as a new boba spot. I would stop by to support local business while I'm in the area. read more

Sweet Straw - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Napa, California

Craving boba on a recent trip up to Napa Valley, we quickly checked Yelp and Sweet Straw popped out as a clear winner. Large selection but not overwhelming - CHECK! They actually had us at the strawberry matcha latte and taro taro. There's a decent amount of street parking right in front or in front of the other stores on a big but not too congested street. We ordered their strawberry matcha latte with soy milk, 50% sugar, and less ice. The drink was well-made and was served in this cool cup with a rounded bottom. The flavors in this drink were great! Better than some of bay area boba places serving a similar drink. We also ordered their taro taro milk tea with taro chunks. Can't get enough taro! I ordered it as-is but probably should have asked for 50% sweetness. It was a bit sweet but still delicious. Love the chunks of real taro! Friendly staff and clean. There's a selfie wall with a neon sign 'Treat yourself". Reminds me of Parks and Rec's "Treat Yo Self" episode!. Of course we had to take a selfie there with our drinks! One more plus...the "Hella Open" neon sign on the window!! LOL That bumped this up to a solid 5-star review! read more

This was my third time to visit. I can confidently say that they did get better from once they first opened to now. The first time I went I don't think the workers knew what I ordered. I didn't get any milk in my tea even though I asked for the oolong fresh milk tea. After the second time I was over trying it, but the third time they redeemed themselves. The craze over this place has died down and I haven't seen long lines out the door. Usually only two parties can be inside at a time since it is small. My milk tea didn't have that much of a strong tea flavor, but you can taste that it was there. The boba was cooked well as it should be. It had a chewy texture, but wasn't difficult to bite. I also noticed that the boba wouldn't stick to each other which in my opinion is just as important as the chewiness of the boba. I did go when they first opened so the boba I had was still warm. I do like at this place you can adjust the sweetness level and ice. Most places that is standard to have now, but still I'm glad they have it. This is the first tapioca spot in Napa so for it being the first it's not bad. If I was in the area and craved boba I would go again. read more

Super cute boba place in Napa! It might be the only one around actually! I could not find another one. This one is strategically placed right in front of Napa High School, which I think it's pretty smart! I had the Lavender Milk Tea with 50% sweetness and 2% milk and it's pretty good! It's not super mild with lavender taste so I can tell what drink I actually got. The only thing is that place is super tiny and really built for to go orders only. There is no tables inside and the parking is street parking along the main street (Jefferson). Other than that, it's super cute! read more

Sweet Straw - Lavender Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Napa, California

Milk tea/boba is not the drink that Napa is known for by any means. This along with Napa's small Asian population makes is hard to find any boba spots in this city. Despite all this, I was surprised by the quality of the lavender milk tea I tried. I ordered with 50% sugar and light ice which is the perfect balance for me. The lavender taste was light and not overpowering as I've noticed with lavender flavored drinks in other coffee/boba locations. I'll definitely be going back to check out their other options. This shop is small and located right across the street from Napa high school which makes it a great location for their business to stay afloat. The parking is mainly any street parking you can find on the busy Jefferson street. read more
