Pros: Lots of free parking; great hours compared to other bubble tea places; size large is actually large, which threw me off a bit, but a nice surprise; drinks aren't bad, but I've had better--pretty average place Cons: N/A read more

One of my favorite Boba places! I almost always get the #1 which is Roasted Milk Tea with Grass Jelly. The milk tea has a strong flavor and the grass jelly is so soft! The servings sizes are also bigger than usual, so a "Regular" is like a large and a "Large" is like a supersized boba (32 oz). The large is enough to share between 2 people or quench 1 person's boba thirst for the rest of the day. Service is friendly and the store is a nice space to hangout and catch up with friends. It's also conveniently located in a plaza with parking. Definitely will drop by again whenever I'm in the area and craving boba! read more

I recommend getting their Kumquat Fresh Lemon Tea--it's refreshing. I came in for Chinese New Years and they gave us a small Envelope! Also, they do samples if you need to try their beverages. read more

Cool Tea Bar - Happy Chinese New Years! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I rate it as a 1 star purely on the jasmine milk tea. I taste no green tea, I taste all milk. I am a big milk tea fan and the tea has to be strong and equal out with my milk. I am not a sugar fan and asking for 25% sweet was still too sweet and it tasting mostly like milk made it taste like I got a milk tea and not a green milk tea. Highly dissapointed. Everyone raves for this place, but I don't. read more

3.5 stars for good roasted milk tea with grass jelly. A few notes: -delicious grass jelly -the regular size (~24 oz I believe) is a large at other boba stops, hence the higher prices -sweetness can be adjusted at several levels -no actual boba or fresh fruit drinks available -no food read more

6 months or so later from my other review, I am STILL obsessed with this place. Sometimes it is a let down that they run out of toppings (which equals minus a star) but eh, I started to get the Tea bar milk tea (my absolute favorite) without any topping - of course extra sugar please - and I realize that less is more. Sometimes it is nice to drink a smooth drink with no interruptions. I prefer t-balls over boba now also. But anywho, thank you Cool Tea Bar for taking all of my money. Even though they close at midnight sometimes they run out of some milk teas around 10 also..... read more

Love their cool balls and roasted milk tea. Get a large! It's only 75 cents more but worth it. Unless you're on a diet then space the drink out lol read more

Ever since I moved to the Bay Area I have a new perception of what fruit and milk teas should taste like. Coming back to Sacramento, my standards are quite high and Cool Tea Bar definitely fits my expectations. My go-to flavor is the mango green tea with lychee. Also a good tip is to ask for less sugar, you get more of the tea taste without feeling so bad about your sugar intake. I love their prices and I love their drinks. Definitely one of my favorite tea places in Sac! read more

Cool Tea Bar - Mango green tea with lychee jelly, half sugar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I really really love this place. I've had a lot of boba, and I think this is the best place in town. If you don't know which boba you want, they give you samples! I always get the Jasmine Green Tea Large with boba or grass jelly in it. $3.50 for regular size and $4 for the large. Boba is 50 cents more. Honestly, just the get the $4 large with boba. It's the cheapest I've seen around for that size. It's massive and soooo worth it. Their drinks are pretty consistent. I've been here probably over 10x's and it has tasted the same. One time it didn't, and I asked the guy to add in more sugar. He realized later that they didn't add creamer and gave me a new one. So yeah, super great customer size and pretty consistent taste in drinks. The only bummer I would say is that sometimes if you come late, they run out of some drinks. I like their roasted milk tea and oolong tea, but it's a disappointment to not have the jasmine green tea sometimes. Overall, this boba place is awesome and I will always come back to it when I'm in Sac. Totally recommend it to everyone. read more

Went in for Chinese New Year and finally the taro is back. I cannot get enough of it. At least this time the person who made my drink remembered to add sweetness. It seems like there are new employees everytime I walk in. Just an observation. read more

I've been coming to this place for years and never had a problem. I normally don't write reviews anymore but I guess I needed to do so today. My husband went and placed an order this recent Monday for three large number one with boba and a mango 101. We have been craving for milk tea for awhile since we've been on lockdown due to the virus. When my husband came home with the tea and we started to drink it we were soo disappointed. The tea tasted like watered down milk.. There was no sweetness to it what so ever. I called the store to voice my complaint a few times. They didn't pick up so I left a voicemail to have them return my call. Today is now Thursday and they still didn't call back so I called again yet to no one picking up. Never again will I do my business here. I was trying to support my local businesses through this tough time but I guess this place doesn't care for it. read more

This place was really good, by far the best place I've had in awhile. There is a choice of how sweet you want your tea to taste. This was my first time here so I wanted to try the milk tea with grass jelly, I also tried 120% sugar which was really good. This location has a few tables and a few high seats to hang out with your buddies while you enjoy your drink. They have a clean bathroom for both sexes in the back. They accept cash and card payments. I would highly recommend giving this place a shot. Ive attached a picture of my drink, as well as a picture of the menu on the door. A very good vibe coming in here and the dude at the cash register was very friendly. read more

Cool Tea Bar - Regular grass jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Sorry guys dropping stars because of: A) wait time...it took 20 minutes to order 1 drink. Why do I have to wait for 6 people dancing around having a milk tea sampling party? It took the cashier 10 minutes to make TWO different teas for tasting. Then she got 2 orders wrong, and held up the line even more by letting each person sample their drink...again. I'm all for customer service and letting people try the teas, but maybe move it to the side or help the people who know what they want first? B) need to separate where you pour the tea and where you wash the shaker. I know it's just water but the idea of cups lined up in the sink, tea splashed everywhere, then water from you washing the shaker splashing in the drink was just an unpleasant sight. read more

This is my favorite go to boba spot in the Sacramento area. I usually come here after eating at Boiling Crab (other end of the plaza) to just hangout and cause I'm already in the area. Their drinks are always up to par and consistent which I like. I've tried a variety of drinks from oolong milk tea, roasted milk tea, matcha milk tea, passion fruit green tea, and Jasmine milk tea but my favorite drink is the Jasmine milk tea. Ever since I tried that drink here, that's all I ever order. I'll add egg pudding occasionally and upgrade to large which is only 50 cents extra when I cave for the extra quench of thirst. Service is great here. Workers are really friendly and talkative. The wait for your drink never takes too long unless you happen to come in right after a large party. If you ever want to try a drink, don't hesitate to ask! read more

Really good place to visit if you're in for some refreshing drinks. Came here during evening and there weren't many customers but the place filled up quite quick. The environment was nice and customer service was exceptional. They'll give you a choice and offer different variations of sugar and ice as well, which can definitely add a twist to your drink. My GF and I went with the roasted milk tea and matcha milk tea. There were a lot of suggestions for the roasted milk tea with grass jelly, but personally I liked the green matcha milk tea better. The downside of it was that we got it with the white/clear boba which I didn't like. Overall it was a nice place and I wouldn't turn another visit down. read more

My sister and I came late one night, probably at around 10pm. We ordered a couple milk teas. The cashier was very unpleasant. He barely said anything to me and barely acknowledged me. He then just turns around n started speaking to his coworker - kinda ignoring me. Also, he was really happy and animated while talking to him, unlike the way he was speaking to us. When we had our drinks, it was gross. It was extremely sweet. We ended up just throwing it away. I really wanted to like this place because of the comments. Oh well. read more

Order: #1 Large Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea. grass jelly was delish and perfect consistency but for some reason I really smell egg custard in it....weird. The milk tea was refreshing and delightful. I would come back for just the milk tea and no grass jelly. The store shop smells horrible!!!! Like the smell of melted plastic, I hope that's not an ingredient in our drink. Drink is good, service is adequate but definitely not a comfortable hangout spot. read more

Plenty of parking, no lines and fast service ! Ordered the roasted oolong milk tea w grass jelly and red bean tea w pudding. The large is gigantic by the way ! I stuck with a regular size just bc I knew I would end up finishing a large if I did order one. I noticed there was a powder in Tupperware labeled" roasted tea" on it. I'm not sure if my order was tea mixed w that powder or that powder alone ? It taste good though and I would be back again if I was in the area. 30% sweetness is the lowest amount of sugar allowed but it wasn't too sweet. read more

I been here several times , and I always say I'm going to order something different , but end up with my fave Matcha green tea ! Yassss so good , I get it in a large , it takes me forever to finish but it is so delicious. Thank you Cool Tea Bar for making my day a little better with each sips. read more

Cool Tea Bar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

One of the best boba places in Sacramento in my opinion. The workers are very friendly, the music is nice when you walk in, you get great vibes as soon as you step in the door. I also like the art on the walls and the pictures and all the games they have for guests. The Jasmine milk tea is the drink I usually get and it's the best In town in my opinion, it's also great they have the percentage of sugar you want to put in your drink because a lot of boba places don't have that. When it comes to Jasmine Milk Tea I'd never go any other place. read more

Probably one of the best places I have been for boba. My go to here is always the kumquat tea with aloe. The sweetness and tanginess is just right. I have also tried their jasmine milk tea and it tasted very refreshing and just had the right amount of sweetness. They also have different card and board games for you to play while you wait for your drink or just to kill some time. Every time I am in Sac, I have to at least stop by once. read more

I've been going to Cool Tea bar for years now and love their drinks, prices, and portions. But, their customer service is sooo bad. I went today around 2:00pm and the lady that was taking my order was extremely rude. She had a real bad attitude. A mixing cup fell and filled the cup with even more ice. She's had a bad attitude on other several occasions but today I was done. Every time I come here I always buy 4+ drinks. Might not come back until you train your workers to have better customer service. I will go somewhere else. read more

Been going here since it opened. For the price and the size of the cups, I wouldn't say it's bad. It's in a very quiet lot, which means you don't have to deal with a lot of noise. During the day, it's no trouble; but at night time, that's when you could get a little paranoid. But overall an amazing place!! read more

First time trying cool tea bar! Good prices and good serving sizes. The roasted oolong with pearls had a really light flavor unlike the normal flavor I'm used to. Not bad but could be stronger oolong flavor. Also, I'm not sure if they just ran out but the boba I got was the tapioca boba that is light brown, not the normal black color. Slightly different taste! read more

My go-to place for a jasmine milk tea because you can actually taste the tea!! Prices are decent too.

Went here yesterday after a long time. Got a large grass jelly roasted milk tea. Tasted really good in the moment, but ended up having really bad food poisoning the next night until today. Wasn't just me, but other people in my party who also ordered a milk tea got bad food poisoning as well. We think it might be the milk they used for the drinks. Maybe it was just sitting out for a while and wasn't replaced? Either way, we're still feeling the effects after a whole day. read more

This is a very nice bubble milk tea spot to go to. The sizes are great especially the large which I got only costing .50 cent more which is not bad at all. Come here if you really enjoy milk tea because the taste and size will not dissapont you. read more

Not the best boba, but okay if you're craving it on a late Monday night and other places are closed. Out of our 2 drinks (the jasmine milk tea with sweet boba and the oolong milk tea with sweet boba), the jasmine was the better tasting one. Overall, just okay. read more

Friendly service. Good milk tea options, but not a ton of normal teas for someone who doesn't love sweets like me. They do have some more unique options made with sodas and other clear drinks though! read more

I love coming to this place for my boba fix late night, it's open late (midnight)!! Parking is never a problem! It's located on Stockton Blvd in the SF Supermarket Plaza. Sam, a bobarista, is always smiling when he greets customers. He is really helpful when I can't decide on what to get. He offers samples and suggested that I try the cool balls with tea balls! I AM HOOKED! Tea balls are almost like boba, but they're white colored and cool balls has a diff texture, it isn't chewy, but kind of jelly and it's transparent. I usually get the Roasted Oolong with light ice, 50% sugar and grass jelly. Their grass jelly is so good!! I also like their Jasmine milk tea with cool balls and tea balls. I love their milk tea and teas here because it tastes like tea, none of that powdered stuff. Did I mention that a regular sized is pretty much a large size at other boba spots?! *Their large is good enough to share between two people (ONLY 50 CENTS MORE!). Drinks are always made and done in less than 2 minutes! read more

This place is pretty amazing simply not just for the drinks but the fact that you were able to sample their drinks. My friends introduced me to this place yesterday. I ordered a roasted milk tea with grass jelly. It was pretty darn good considering it was my first time here. The service is also pretty well. The worker there always had a warm smile on their faces. Overall good place to hang out and get some tea. The next time you come here, make sure to sample their drinks first. A lot of their drinks tend to be on the more sugary side, so it's important to try first then can decide on lowering the sugar or not. read more

I do have one regret coming here . . . and that's not paying the 50¢ extra for a large! The roasted milk tea with the grass jelly satisfied my craving and made me wanting more. I chose 100% for my level of sweetness which wasn't overly sweet and was perfect for my craving that day. At the time the size of the cup just looked enormous and too much for me, but after a long drive from the Monterey Bay area in heat that I'm definitely not used to I was HELLA thirsty. I should have just went for it! Place is bright enough to wear my shades with its bright pink and yellow walls and high shiny white tables. I was not a fan of the stool high chairs. With me being vertically challenged and wearing a short skirt that day, it made it uncomfortable to sit in. Loud, explicit music was being played which I didn't mind (honestly, I kinda enjoyed it! Lol) I guess it gears towards their high school/college crowd. Service was friendly and bathrooms were clean. Location is kinda sketchy. Lots of parking but its in an Asian plaza, so you know what that means . . . lots of Asian drivers. Just deal with it! read more

YO, Cool Tea Bar is THE place to GO!!!!!! I love the name and how it fits perfectly to their description!! Cool: this place has a cool design! I love the color and atmosphere of the place! Very spacious!! Tea: the tea was delicious! I love that they let us sample the tea! We tried the mango green tea (yum!), roasted milk tea (double yum!), and jasmine milk tea (good), all regular sugar level (100%). I liked them all but I ended up getting the roasted milk tea with grass jelly!!! IT WAS mmMmMAZING!! They said grass jelly is made fresh daily and you can really tell!! For the size of the drink, the price is not too bad! Bar: So we came in a little later around 9PM and we sat there enjoying our tea when the server asked if "we mind if she can blast the music" and we're like sure... A few minutes later, she turned off the lights so it was dark and then turned on some other bright lights, music was very hip too. It felt like a "bar" environment. Anyways, must try!!! :D read more

Love seeing new tea shops pop up in Sacramento! However, I'm turned off by their "no boba" concept. I'm the type of person that has to have boba in my drinks so I wasn't sure how to feel. They also have a picture of a drink with sea cream, however, when I asked about it they told me that they didn't have it yet. C'mon now! I mean, you're really playing with my emotions here. I finally decided to just order anything. I got the roasted milk tea with grass jelly and t-noodles (which is supposed to substitute for boba). The roasted milk tea was decent, the grass jelly was really good but the t-noodles was a flop for me. Not a fan. Oh, and on another note. I saw on their screens that they have tea making classes for kids which is pretty darn cool. I'll give this place another try when they start serving sea cream. read more

I'm so glad milk tea places are opening up in this area! Cool Tea Bar has become one of my favorite spots to get milk tea in Sacramento. Their tea is customizable as most boba places are now of its ice and sugar level. The large cup is HUGE, and perfect for those days when you crave milk tea like crazy. I find that sometimes when I get milk tea, I'm usually halfway done with it by the time I get to the car, so it's nice to have milk tea that lasts til you get home! I've tried several of their milk teas including roasted, matcha, and jasmine. The matcha was a little disappointing, but I might just have high standards for it since I've found my favorite matcha milk tea spot. Both the jasmine and roasted milk tea are really good, imo, so which one I get completely depends on my mood. read more

Personally I think the milk tea here is the best in all of Sacramento. Even with all the new shops that opened locally. Music can be too loud late at night. I prefer to come in the afternoon when it is not too busy nor is the area not too dangerous. I had my car broken into right out in the parking lot late night when I was here. They offer fundraisers for organizations and are really helpful. Fast service, best drinks. read more

i wasn't a fan of this place at all before because they were missing boba. now they server boba and they call it coo t balls. one of my favorites to get is the number one with roasted milk tea and grass jelly and boba. but my all time favorite is the kumquat green tea because the flavor is very refreshing and not to sweet and not too sour but in-between both so i have found it my favorite drink at this place. i usually get the large size and its huge and it satisfy my thirsty cravings. i have also tried the cool balls which they have as a topping for the drinks and i think its pretty unique crunchy texture but chewy at the same time too. but as long as they keep the boba i am a fan of this place. during the weekends and holiday the wait could be long. i usually recommend during the weekday for the fastest in and out to get the drink quickly. I had came here a few times during the day time on a sunday afternoon and the wait was ridiculous long. i usually just leave and come back if i don't go somewhere else. lately i have came here a few times and they ran out of boba. one time i ordered 4 drinks and they forgot it inside and replaced it with cool balls without letting me know. i brought it right back in and had them make me new 4 drinks with boba. one time we ordered 2 drinks and one drink had boba and the other one didn't have boba. i only grabbed mines and sipped away and left the other one in the bag. when i got home i found out it didn't have boba. so i had to drive all the way back and ask why wasn't there was no boba inside. they said they ran out of boba, in my mind i was like wth?... should have told me in first place. they wanted to just give us the 50 cents back and apologize. i said no give me a free complimentary drink for the lack of communication and the drive back. then got my free complimentary drink the next day. one time i did caught that the boba were not flavored and was bland. i had to make a phone call and ask if they did. of course they would say it isn't. anyways sometimes the boba is off point. another time i went at night and they were out of green tea for the rest of the night. overall they always run out of boba. i have had so much different experience i had to share on here and update my review. i think they should have more boba shipped to them from taiwan instead of always running out of supplies. they do got their product down but when a customer drives all the way over there and running out of that item, it makes them mad and disappointed. now i have learn that it is best to call first and check before making a long or short drive just for the drink. i think boba is the main thing, when your a big boba fan and they don't have boba i don't want no other drink from them. the drink is only good to me because i love my boba. overall hope my experience helps for their improvements and hope it doesn't happen to you. thanks for reading and add of follow me on yelp. read more
