    I love good boba, and I love a good tea shop even more. My go to downtown tea shop was impossible to find parking for, so I stopped by E Tea to mix things up. Parking was definitely easier, but the experience was not what I had hoped for. The staff wasn't very welcoming, and I had a few questions about the tea menu. The lady on the other side of the counter kept walking away, and I finally just placed my order. I was rather surprised, as I had been here before for an event ( which was great), which is why I returned this time. I ordered the fresh taro with boba. I found the taste to be off, and it had a pungent taste, something that I'm not accustomed to tasting with taro. I also ordered the black sugar milk tea for my mini me. I took a sip, and was equally as unimpressed with it. It definitely tasted better than the fresh taro, but not omg I need more of this. The interior is still on the verge of looking boarded up, or going out of business. It's not. It's how they've been rolling for the last few years. The prices are the same as other tea houses. I'm not sure that I go out of my way to stop by here again, especially when there are so many tea shops with better tea, and much better service.

    Staff was super friendly. It is tucked inside the same space as vegan deadly sins. They're menu is extensive and oat milk is the default milk. The Thai tea wasn't super sweet, which I liked. Would definitely go back for a beverage.

    This darn COVID has sure changed the world as we know it. Local downtown Sacramento neighborhood businesses have been knocked about. First with the civil demonstrations and then losing their bulk of customers to teleworking. I started to re-visit my local downtown lunch haunts, I visited E Tea a few days ago. E Tea is a boba tea shop AND vegan eatery located on the corner of 14th Street and I Street. It's across the street from the Memorial Auditorium, a block away from the Sacramento Convention Center, and in the other direction a block away from the Wells Fargo Pavillon ( old Music Circus). I dropped in recently to grab weekday lunch. The staff was awesome, very welcoming. I haven't been here in over a year and a half, so I was totally stoked to see that they added a vegan menu. It was impressive. Lots of choices. I ordered General Tso chicken plate and a vegan Thai iced tea with boba. I didn't want the tea to be made with half & half so I asked the cashier for his recommendation on milk options. He recommended soy rather than oat or almond. It was delicious, I couldn't tell that it was non dairy. I asked for my order to go. They do have an indoor dining area as well. Let me tell you, I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. So when I tasted the "chicken" ... by golly I was impressed that it looked and tasted just like chicken! Even the tactile texture was spot on. The General Tso sauce was flavorful and they even mellowed the heat down on the sauce for me as I requested. Customer service is top notch here! The bowl was topped with green salad, pickled cabbage and served with brown rice. Yum! It was a pretty good serving size. Plus they gave a complimentary fried spring roll. That little sucker was tasty. Crisp golden fried exterior and the shredded veggies were seasoned really well. One of the best I've ever tasted. I'm still thinking about it as I write this. Yum! As I mentioned, this shop is located in downtown. This ain't the suburbs. So there is no private parking lot, it's street and metered parking. It's not a cutsie over the top destination spot. When I was figuring out what rating to use with my review, I thought to myself, is this place an asset to the neighborhood? Does it have good food? Is the customer service good? Is the pricing good? The answer to all of them was an outstanding YES! And change the word " good" to "excellent "! #downtownsacramentoweekdaylunch

    I've been staring at E Tea from the tap room across the street, telling myself I need to try it, for months. Usually it was while drinking beer and eating chicken wings, so bubble tea didn't seem like a very good paring. Anyway, I finally put down the alcohol and fried food to make a stop. I really wish I had before. The staff was really cool and the bubble tea was delicious. They have a collection of One Piece anime posters hanging in the shop, so I asked an employee about them. He proceeded to geek out on anime while I was waiting for my tea, which turned into a good conversation. I'm an anime nerd, so it's nice to meet a kindred spirit once in a while... Not that I had to wait very long for my drink. My mango slush drink arrived quickly. It tasted like fresh perfectly ripened mango. For real! It was just like a nice juicy mango I bought in Hawaii one time. There was a good sized serving of chewy boba at the bottom. The best part, it had a heat-welded plastic film on top for a lid. The fun kind you can jab with the giant pointy straws when you drink them. It made for a great stop. I was really impressed. I'll definitely be back to jab some more drinks!

    Stumbled across this place while I was working in the area, as it goes when you see boba shops you crave it so I had to check it out. Had no idea it was a vegan spot which was super cool to find out while ordering I had dairy free options. I decided to try out some chow mein as well for the occasion and I was happy I did for how quick service this spot seemed to be it was restaurant quality. Good flavor and the noodles were nice and thick with crunchy veggies. I will be back to check out more of the menu soon !

    This little spot was pretty neat to stop in at. While on a "let's try new vegan spots" adventure today. This was stop #1. My daughter was attracted to the Cow sign on the building, as she LOVES cows and she is also Vegan. Clean and small location with a great friendly staff. They offer a pretty good sized vegan menu. We chose the Sweet n Sour "chicken" options. Very flavor in covering up the "vegan" side of things. Had pineapple & bell peppers. We also ordered 2 of their drink options. I had the mango green tea and she had the Thai tea with almond milk n boba They were great in letting my daughter know, that lol f she had any questions to let them know and that they could accommodate her in her drink order as well. I'm sure we will be returning here our next trip to Sacramento more options for us to try out

    Look they are ready for us

    On the first bracket I vote E Tea. 900 15th St, Sacramento, CA 95814 You can get a reusable bottle or recyclable cup with a plastic lid heat set on. Low waste. I like this better then the double lid by their competitors. Cute isn't going to save the earth. The decor is minimal due to prior riots and future protests. Menus are above the register. There are many drink and food options. I ordered the mango smoothie. I took the standard sweetness and it was perfect. It was smooth, no ice chunks. It was so tasty and the perfect size, there is only one size. I wi be back. We also ordered the fried egg rolls. Very crunchy. They include a sauce. They hit the spot. Enclosed were 2 complementary sesame balls. I'd order them again. They were warm and perfectly toasty and filled with just the right amount of bean paste

    Veggie chow mein

    Chow mein was absolutely delicious! Big portion and very fast despite being pretty busy, and the prices were reasonable for what we ordered. Winnie the Pooh was also good, I was hesitant because they only serve green tea which I don't favor, but the strawberry and mango overpowered it and the drink was really good. My friend ordered the matcha milk tea which was nothing too special but not bad. The wall of One Piece wanted posters was an adorable addition. Would not recommend sitting by the doors because there was a cold rush every time it was opened but aside from that the tables were all nice and clean! A good place to grab a drink and some food near the SAFE Credit con center

    I came along this place because of Yelp! Thanks Yelp boba bracket. Lol. Never once have I heard about this place and was pretty excited to find out it was not too far from my work. So definitely had to share their goods with my coworkers. Surprised that this place had only 3.5 stars, by the service I got--I received everything in a timely manner and the people was very nice. The Winnie the Pooh wasn't sweet, and the taro & brown sugar was just right. I loved how it came with their signature cup for just 50 cents extra. Definitely will be back!

    Thai tea smoothie with almond milk
    Kristine K.

    We finally got to check this place out for the Boba Bracket, after driving by many times admiring the cow logo! We got the Thai tea smoothie with almond milk (not fully non dairy as the smoothie has vanilla ice cream, which I thankfully can have) and the matcha milk tea with egg pudding. I liked that my Thai tea was not too sweet at the 50% sweetness level and my BF said the egg pudding gave a nice cereal milk flavor to his matcha. We appreciated the friendly staff, cute cow decor, and spacious interior.

    First of all....For all the reviews that mentioned the boarded up windows, thank you!!! I would have been so lost without y'all!! I found this store with no problem since I knew what to look for! Now onto my review! I stopped by E Tea after work for a nice treat after a long work week. E Tea is store #10 of 16 I have visited part of the Boba Bracket. They have a deal with check in that you show to the cashier. E Tea is on the corner of I St/15th St. The woman at the register was helpful and was knowledgeable of all the drinks. Any drink can be made vegan!! Also, drinks can be adjusted with the level of sweetness to your heart's content except the Winnie The Pooh. I went with the Matcha Milk tea with boba (#5) with almond milk. Not sweet (my choice) , but, didn't skimp on the matcha flavor! It was a nice drink!! The woman tells me they have lunch specials, when I was browsing the Vegan Deadly Sins menu. Everything looked and sounded appetizing, but, I really was craving some vegan pizza!! They were out of take home menus at the moment. I'm going to make a visit to return this weekend to try out their food!! Cannot wait! Covid19 precautions: no indoor/outdoor dining, employees wear masks, masks are required before entering, sanitizer available by the register and at the pick up counter. Despite the wooden boards, the decor they had going inside was cute with the mini cows and their boba board. I will return!

    My neighborhood boba spot. I love stopping by for a to-go drink when I have a craving. Quick service, and they have a rewards card (10 punches for a free drink - I'm on 8!). Not the best boba I've ever had, but it's reasonable for the price, location, and (my personal) convenience.

    03.28.21 windows boarded up but they're open
    May A.

    Yelp Sacramento's Boba Bracket Voting is already done for the Boba Bracket and there is a winner but we were still able to enjoy the 25% off deal until the end of March so with 3 more days to go until March 31st we made our way to Sacramento today. The outside isn't attractive. The shop has fully boarded up their windows to prevent theft but it's what's in the inside that counts. Enter using the side door. Hubby's free boba drink from the Boba Bracket was from E Tea. He chose Winnie the Pooh between the two drinks. I chose to have the Coconut Paradise using the 25% off Yelp check-in deal. We asked if they could substitute the lychee jelly with boba and they were happy to do it for us. The drinks would've been perfect if they were blended but neither hubby nor I forgot to ask about it. After getting our drinks hubby and I switched... now I had the Winnie the Pooh drink (made with mango milk layered w/ strawberry green tea). The fruity treat was delicious with just the right sweetness for me. The drinks were not as cold as we would like them to be, though, but still good. Too bad I couldn't make adjustments on the sweetness level and ice on the mango drinks. The two young gals were friendly and helpful and we had a pleasant experience here... would love to come back for #24 next time (mocha coffee smoothie w/ boba). Review #2163

    Boarded up storefront, but they are open!  Entrance is actually on the side.

This led us to Bingsu Tea in Natomas on Del Paso Rd. This shop has plenty of parking as it's a pretty big shopping center that it shares with many other businesses. When you walk in,the shop has the cutest interior design,little tables on the right side of the store,cute little design touches on the left. Ordering is mostly handled by two kiosks on the left. Menu is pretty lengthy but since we came here just for the Bingsu dessert dish,it wasn't too tough to decide. I've been here two times now and both times I got a Bingsu dessert dish. The 1st time we got a Oreo version and the 2nd time we got the Strawberry Mango version. Each ran about $14.30 I'm a little out of my element when to comes to this dessert as I'd never had them before but I will tell you this,both versions were excellent. Not too sweet,which was a surprise,the ice cream and the shaved ice on the bottom worked together flawlessly.A drizzle of condensed milk added a nice touch and enhanced the flavor profile. Between the two I think I preferred the strawberry-mango version but it's really close both were really high level. The Oreo version definitely hit right if you're in the mood for chocolate sweetness. The desserts are big enough to share-we shared with 2 people on the Oreo and 3 people on the strawberry version. In closing, I 100% recommend this shop if you're ever in the Natomas area and want to try out a pretty unique dessert experience-I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Taro paradise milk tea supposedly uses real taro, but my Asian mother said there wasn't enough of it in the drink, making the taro flavor light and diluted from the milk. I cannot vouch for the quality of this beverage, but it's a bit disappointing to hear it fell short. Strawberry smoothie was a hit and my grandpa happily finished it all. He's not easy to win over so imagine my surprise when he reported that it was a really good drink. Unfortunately, we weren't able to try the bingsu despite it being such a hot day, but this won't be our last visit. We will return for more!

Overall everything was ok but maybe we'll be back to give it another try.
