    Big Kahuna Cherry/Lime shaved ice Hawaiian style
    Jessica B.

    We aren't from the area but decided to stop in for a treat. It was clean and has a cute vibe. We were greeted when we walked in and our order was made pretty quickly. We ordered the Big Kahuna Shaved ice Hawaiian style. It was huge and was so delicious. The ice cream in the middle is a game changer and the condensed milk Topping is just perfect! Will definitely be here again!

    Came here on a nice sunny afternoon to get some shaved iced and wow 10/10 hospitality was great and the 2 workers were so nice was waiting outside and they brought out tables and chairs, very nice, shaved ice was great with vanilla ice cream. Definitely come by they have a big menu

    The best quality matcha drink in the area from SLO to Santa Maria! My new go to boba place in town!…read more The last time I visited this location was almost 2 years ago when it was still the old boba shop with a different owner. According to the new owner, they're not associated with the last one in any way. Chapter 25 has its own theme that I love which is "kindness". You'll see stickers, art works, and signs both inside the store and outside that promoting kindness. I am obsessed with matcha drinks and matcha anything! If the place offers matcha drinks or desserts, I'd have to try it. From all the pictures on Yelp, their strawberry matcha seems like the most popular item, so of course I had to try it my first time here. The matcha is ceremonial quality, whisked and made as ordered, then pair with fresh strawberry puree pieces and milk. I have tried matcha drinks/latte from pretty much every coffee shops around that offer them, Chapter 25 is hands down the best one! Glad Chapter 25 is here. I just have to control myself and not come here more than a couple times a week lol.

We called to check if chapter 25 was open and Jeff was kind enough to answer. They were closed but was willing to serve us. We ordered the lavender tea and it was delicious. Just for the service I would've given 5 stars. But lavender milk tea is one of my favorites and they did it very well. Jeff is in the new owner of Chapter 25. Glad to see young business owners like him. Wish him the best and I hope everyone can support :)

A couple of errors on our drinks (no ice when asked for extra ice, and no sweetener when asking for 100% sweetness), but nothing major, still good flavor/quality and just asked for ice on the side. The matcha drink was actually a good strong flavor. My niece's review: "this place is very preppy I give it a 6/7"

I usually try to reduce sweetness where I can because I add sweetened toppings (even if it seems negligible)- this was the right amount of sweetness and I'd try to do 0% if I could next time. The boba is nice and chewy. The egg pudding keeps its shape and added some extra sweetness to the drink as well. I wish the tea taste was stronger but I've had worse. Rose Milk Tea (+boba/50% sweet): Tastes like how a rose milk tea should. (Similar to 85 degrees). Meets the standard for how floral this drink should be. Service: Kiosk makes things easy and you could order in-person as well. Our drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time, not too fast that you'd question if it was just premade slop, but not too long where it would be annoying. Ambiance: It does feel very cramped and cluttered inside. There's some tables (not many) if anyone wanted to stick around and/or study. There are a variety of figurines, urns, teas, pins, etc. that are kind of everywhere around the shop. It's like a gift shop almost. Many signs saying not to touch the merch. The interior feels especially cramped because there isn't much waiting room if you like your personal space. If it doesn't ruin the structural integrity of the place, I don't know why they don't make changes to the inside. There aren't too many good boba shops in this general area but thankfully Sweetie Cup Tea House is one of them. I will definitely return.

I love chewing on those sweet tapioca balls that add so much excitement to a cup of tea! Thai tea has always been my favorite, but when you add Boba to it, it's the cherry on top!

It was our first time there so we asked for recommendations since they know best. I took the recommendation of coffee cream top matcha and my boyfriend got the mango white peach tea. I noticed that the workers that were preparing the drinks used scales to measure everything out so all the drinks are consistent! Drinks: Coffee Cream Top Matcha (7/10): The coffee cream top was very delicious! I tried a little bit before I mixed it and yum! I was sad when I mixed it in because I couldn't taste it anymore. I did wish the matcha flavor was more prominent after mixing. It tasted like straight milk and brown sugar to me. If you ever had brown sugar milk with boba, it tasted exactly like that. The boba was chewy and soft though! Best boba I've had in SLO. Mango White Peach Tea (4/10): I'm sorry but this one wasn't really good. The syrups overpowered the tea entirely and personally, it was so sweet, it made my throat hurt.

    Delicious! Very reasonably priced! Great, friendly service! it's a must visit!…read more We have passed by here many times, but the place never seemed that appealing from the outside. Located right at the corner of a V intersection, but the parking lot is tiny, maybe enough for 6-8 cars max. The inside is not any bigger. With about 6 tables total, it's actually never completely full every time we have been here. What surprises us each and every time is the amount of to go orders they get! Literally, at least 1 call in/walk in/online order every 10-15 mins! Having been to several Thai restaurants on the Central Coast, Tasty Thai is the cheapest so far out of all the ones we've been to here! Their portion is also good for at least a couple dollars cheaper per dish compared to anywhere else! With the exception of the Panang curry, which has great flavor, but just too watery like a soup and not enough veggies/toppings, every single dishes we have tried here have been great to excellent! Our go to dishes every single time are satay chicken 10/10, beef salad 9/10, pad see ew with beef 8/10, and we would make the effort to try a new dish for that second entree. Excellent mom's and pop's restaurant! Give them a try! You will not be disappointed.

    Went for our first time after having this place on our places to try list. It did not disappoint!…read moreThe food was great! I got the fat noodles and had them done spicy.

    FOOD: They only serve drinks but a good amount of options!…read moreThere are milk teas, matchas, fruit teas, coconut clouds, peachy refreshers, milkshakes and a Vietnamese cold brew. I ordered the banana matcha latte and my bf got the Vietnamese cold brew. The Vietnamese cold brew ended up being sweeter than my matcha but that not a problem for me because I do not like my drinks sweet. A good hint of banana in my drink but mostly matcha. The banana matcha latte is available for a limited time only unlike the Vietnamese cold brew. SERVICE: We were the only ones at the store during our visit but the service was quick. There was only one person taking orders and making the drinks at the time but even then I thought she did it in a timely manner. AMBIANCE: Plenty of space and a cute instagrammable install photo-op against the wall. Plenty of seats available and some games available for groups visiting the store. There is free wifi available as well. The music playing in the background was not playing too loud. I feel like the store is still pretty empty and needs some more decorations but otherwise a good space to get some work done while enjoying your drink. Will definitely come back and try the other drinks!
