We've stopped by several times and have never been completely happy with the drinks, but we wanted to keep giving this place a chance and hopefully find something we enjoyed. Unfortunately, our most recent visit will be our last. We ordered the Flaming Crème Brûlée Pearl Milk and paid $8 per drink. What we received looked nothing like the drink advertised in both the name and the photo. There was no crème brûlée topping. When we asked about it, the staff first told us that the brûléed topping mixes in once the lid is put on. We were then told that they can't actually do the crème brûlée topping with to go lids. Had we been told that when ordering, we would have chosen a different drink. The staff appeared young and extremely busy, and I did not want to create a scene or make them uncomfortable by demanding a refund. Instead, I asked for management's contact information so I could address the issue directly. I have now reached out twice and have received no response. Based on our experience, I would pay attention to the one star reviews. read more

Excellent quick easy all the choices in the neighborhood!! Service is 5 star fast friendly and highly customizable read more

Inside was very cute and aesthetic. Lots of variety for drinks on the menu and they also had sweet and savory snacks to select from too. Service was very fast and friendly. The cashier was super nice! The drinks were terrible. I got the strawberry lemon delight and it was very bland. It tasted like water. No lemon or strawberry flavor at all. My sister also said her tea tasted like water and didn't taste like tea or even milk. Overall disappointed by the drinks. read more

Great service! The two girls in front were darlings. Plenty of parking and great atmosphere/aesthetics. No one in my group finished their drinks, my partner got his drink remade at the lowest sweetness level and still couldn't finish it. They add sweetness to the boba which adds to overall sweetness. The drinks are flavored with syrup which isn't uncommon but made the drink sweeter and gave it an artificial taste. I can't say that the boba really scratched my itch, I didn't find it refreshing or yummy. I should've tried the more popular options. I hate leaving bad reviews but I cannot recommend this spot, maybe the three drinks I tried were just not good options so if you do want to try this spot, I would try a different drink with 50% sweetness. read more

Satr., 9/27/2025 - Stopped by Sweetea to try them. Our first time here. Address is 8505 Madison Ave # 180, Fair Oaks, CA 95628. It's in a small shopping plaza. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) plenty of parking. 2) place was quiet and clean. 3) there's games you can play while waiting. 4) cute little place. 5) Cons 1) only one person working. 2) there was only 1 person ahead of us waiting for his 1 drink. Took the guy behind the counter a good 25 mins ish to make our taro smoothie and Thai Milk Tea. 3) their bathroom wasn't working. :'( 4) Taro boba smoothie was REALLY sweet. Too sweet. Thai Milk Tea was watery. I could barely taste the Thai tea in it. Very disappointed in both our drinks. Conclusion This is a cute little area. Clean restaurant. They had games you can play while waiting. Tables looked clean and white. Nice large parking lot w plenty of parking. Sadly, bathroom wasn't working, only 1 person working, our Taro Smoothie and Thai Milk Tea was not good, no smile or greeting when we walked in. ;) As cute as this place is, this will be our 1st and last time here. But it may be a lot better experience for someone else. read more

Great chain! We have now been to this location, and the one in Auburn. I'm a matcha person myself and theirs is good! I like a boba place with tall cups where you can adjust the sweetness, and where there's plenty of boba. They also have things that don't have caffeine for people who are sensitive to caffeine. How nice to see such nice, friendly boba places popping up everywhere around here! :) read more

Love this boba place, I got a milk tea with only 20 percent of sugar and it was amazing. read more

Botched drinks at a boba shop in this day and age? Errr..... Hong Kong milk tea: 50% sweetness = heavily watered down. Barely milky. Thai milk tea: insanely sweet for something that was supposed to be at 50% sweetness. Tasted very artificial as well (though most likely because of all of the sugar). Hokkaido vanilla waffle: eh, just alright. Small cannoli-shaped spongy pancakes with cream filling. Refrigerated & pre-packaged. Looks and tastes like something that is within the realm of an 85°C Bakery Cafe. Not really warm service. Lady at the cashier was very quick on ringing me up my price total before I completely finished my order. Was hoping for good things here especially with the very cute branding and all, but with the fairly strong boba game currently in the Sac area this spot is a skip. read more

I ordered a matcha ube milk tea, popcorn chicken, brown sugar pearl fresh milk, and soft serve swirl through their website. They don't actually have soft serve. It was ready about 10 minutes after their website said it'd be. You have to ask for straws even though their drinks don't have sip lids. I didn't taste any actual matcha, ube, or tea in my drink. The chicken isn't like other boba spots - it was a weird coating and spicy (not noted on their website at all). The boba was nice and soft though. The cafe seemed clean. The drinks came in a cute reusable bag. Will I be back? Probably not. read more

Super cute place! Every time I come, the customer service is amazing and they are very nice when we are in! The food and drinks are also very delicious! read more

I love this place because they have smoothies and they are delish I usually get matcha or taro flavor and they both are yummy and the Taste is fresh read more

Picked up a Matcha smoothie with custard and Boba today. It was delicious. I like how they cut the custard into smaller bites instead of big lumps. I've never had it that way. Service was great also. Would definitely come back and recommend. read more

Yummy. I went out of my way to come to this place. My friend brought me this crazy strawberry concoction. I had to go back. Went back & tried the brûlée...loved it! read more

First time going to this Boba spot. Pretty nice inside and drinks were good. Andrew helped us out was friendly he was on his own, but made the drinks pretty quickly. We got an earl Grey milk tea , a taro, and matcha. Matcha was not too strong flavor tho. Not too much seating inside, but it was fine. read more

Went here and picked up an Earl Grey Milk tea and Horchata Boba tea. Yum! They are nice, it's delicious and the cups are cute

Sweetea is a fun spot in a convenient location. The shop itself is small, but the service is quick and the parking lot is sizeable. It is really nice inside, and I like that they have a unique menu. I go for the matcha with crystal boba tea, and I love that they ask what sweetness level I want, as I prefer less sweet matcha if possible. I also like to try different desserts. Their cheesecake was okay. I wouldn't get it again personally, but it wasn't bad. I have had the cream puff as well, and I would definitely get that again (at least, after I've worked my way through the dessert menu). I do agree with a review that says the drinks are small for the price and compared to other boba places. The taste, at least of my drink, makes it worth it, especially since I do not go here often. read more

Decided to try Sweetea Boba on Madison Ave in Fair Oaks. Walked into store and found menu to be easy to read, decided on the mango smoothie with mango star jelly. The service was prompt and quick. I was the only customer there at that time. Ambience was so-so, place was clean. read more

My daughter loves this place! They even have fun little board games to play. I recommend it for a quick treat!

I have now ordered from this place twice because it is delicious. I have had the taro boba with ube and oat milk both times. It is creamy and just the perfect compliment to any dish. My daughter had the Strawberry Bubbling and also loved it. read more

Stopped in at Sweetea around 4pm on a Sunday as I arrived a bit early for my hair appointment in the salon nearby. It was decently busy, as there's only a few sitting tables, and this location is kinda narrow. The employee who took my order was very polite, and as I had seen high ratings of the drink on Yelp, I ordered a large matcha milk tea with boba. Wait time was minimal, especially considering the people who ordered ahead of me had purchased multiple drinks and some food, and there were only two people working. The total for my drink was about $6.75 before tax. I absolutely loved my drink! It was so yummy, and it comes in the cutest cup! The boba wasn't as chewy as I prefer, but I'd much rather it be a little soft than overly firm like I've had at some other boba shops. I can't wait to return when I get a chance! I want to try the Hong Kong milk tea, peach bubbling, and something from the creamy series eventually. Sweetea was too busy for me to take a photo of my drink near it, but it has the cutest area for photos too. Definitely one of my favorite boba shops in town! read more

It's sad to say that this place does not do boba justice. I was really excited to try this out hoping that it would be delicious, since I am a boba connoisseur....haha... all jokes aside, it just didn't make the mark. Here are my reasons: 1. the quality of the milk tea I ordered was watery. And it had so much ice! 2. For the price, the cup was like a Starbucks "short"or maybe even a "demi" which are the 2 smallest sizes weighing at 3 to an 8 oz. What they were charging, you could get a regular at a T4 or less. 3. The employees didn't know the ingredients of the drink, what type of milk, etc. There were good things about the place such as the brightness, the color scheme of their interior. But overall, it's about quality. And when it comes to boba quality, we just can't mess around!! I hope it gets better, I may come by and try it again. read more

Amazing service and setting highly recommended will be coming back again and again! Never been here before my first time was great I will be retuning as a regular customer! read more

Can't speak for the tea, just a delicious Oreo blended drink. Super excited to see they carry lactose-free milk and alternative dairy options. I requested the drink to be 25% sweet, which was plenty with out tasting too subtle. The service was friendly and quick, the person who took our order and made the drinks was very personable. I appreciate that. The dining area was clean and felt sterile, but not bright or boring. I loved the cute touches of the cat ears/face on the lid. I'd definitely go back! read more

This was a great pit stop for a sweet drink. The service is probably the highlight here. The server up front answered my questions about sweetness level and had a genuine smile, which goes a long way for me. I loved the clean open decor inside. My drink was not my favorite, but I suspect I ordered wrong. The boba itself was perfect. I'll probably be back and try something else. read more

I don't know what it was but I had a bad feeling about this place on this visit, the first 2 times everything we ordered was good, It was when they first opened I went in there and ordered a milk tea extra sweet with light ice with the lady worker, it's as if though she didn't listen to nothing I specified, the drink was full of ice and the sweetness level was barely noticeable but the killer part was when I got in the car and I was gonna put the drink in the cup holder the flimsy loose top on the drink came off and the whole drink ended in my lap and car seat, thanks for giving me a drink with a loose cap.....NO! I won't be back!!! read more

Was in the area eating with my brother, so we stopped nearby to grab milk tea. We ordered oolong milk tea with honey boba, oolong tea with cheese foam and earl grey milk tea with honey boba. I got the oolong milk tea 50% sweet and surprisingly regretted it because I had to ask the cashier to add back the 50% sweet. Most boba places I've been to, the drinks are way too sweet for me so I usually get my drinks less sweet. Surprisingly, the drinks aren't too sweet to begin with, which I appreciated. Giving this boba spot a 3.5 stars because my brother and sister thought their drinks were just okay. The workers were super sweet to accommodate my taste buds though!! read more

Came here mid day Saturday and it was completely empty. Two ladies working were extremely nice and patient as we had no idea what we wanted to try. I literally just told them my daughter likes sweet and matcha and they had ample suggestions. We decided on a Matcha Rose, a Brown sugar Milk tea and a Matcha milk tea. Our favorite was the Matcha Rose as it had a cream cheese topping (a bit savory) and dried rose petals. We also got churros and a cream pastry cake we forgot to take a picture. Will definitely be coming back for a weekend treat as week days are always very busy with the local high school crowd. read more

Service was so terrible. Not greeted upon entering and waited about 3-4 minutes before being told someone would be with us to be able to order. Waited an additional 6-7 minutes and still nobody took our order. No idea what the workers were doing but ultimately couldn't even place an order. read more

There aren't that many boba spot in this area, so I was very excited to find this spot near where I live. I ordered the strawberry blossom with oat milk and it was over $6. I took off one star cause I felt this place was more expensive than expected. The drink was very delicious! The staff was very friendly and told me they have non dairy and lactose free options. The inside is clean and cute, there seems to be a decent amount of sitting room for a few groups, but I went on a rainy day and was the only person there. I'm excited to keep trying their drinks. read more

So happy they are in our neighborhood. We love boba and travel to Bubble University often which is several miles away. Today was our first trip and we all poured our drinks out when we got home because the milk/cream seemed curdled and the drink had no sweetness. It was a grainy texture, like maybe they didn't mix the powder well or the milk was bad. Someone new is making these drinks because they should be good- they were not. We usually order half sweet from boba places, I ordered regular and there was no sweet. So disappointed. I hate to leave a negative review - we are so happy you are here, hoping someone in charge reads this. We will try again in a few days. The decor looks cute! Ordering was swift- menu was great- Can't wait for them to iron out the kinks in recipe! read more
