Cool Tea Bar

I prefer this one so much more than the one on Mack Rd! The area is a lot less ghetto and the shop itself is super spacious with many tables and chairs to sit at comfortably without being too crowded by other groups. Their drinks are a little hit or miss sometimes, but that can be due to the new workers who don’t have enough experience making drinks yet. My go to here is normally the Peach Green Tea which is typically not too heavy if you’re looking for something refreshing! a lot of their typical teas are super light and refreshing after a big meal or for a hot day! I love to come here to study just because they always play really great music and it’s never really too overpacked with people since the shop is so big compared to other Cool Tea Bars!

I like how each Elk Grove boba place different from the next. Cool tea bar is great and has a different taste then the others, in a good way. Even there basic drink taste good. The price is great for the size you get.

one of the best boba places in Sac!
Favorite: #1 (Roasted Milk Tea) and #3 (Jasmine Milk Tea). They have boba/​pearl now!
clean and sparkling; they always have samples on the counter when you arrive. friendly staff who always smile and chat with you.
quiet enough to study, but they also have games there for you to play. lots of seating!

As a fan of the Sacramento CTB location, I was really excited to see one open closer to me in Elk Grove.
CTB has a really nice and open environment that’s very welcoming to customers. There’s always a staff member sweeping or wiping down tables, and cleanliness always goes the extra mile for me. They also have several games such as Uno and Connect Four for customers to play while they enjoy their drinks.
The staff is very nice, and I’ve never had a problem with any of them. They are always quick to greet customers and they make drinks quickly and efficiently.
My favorite drink is the Jasmine Milk Tea and CTB always delivers. I will say that their boba isn’t my favorite (too squishy for my liking), but I rarely get bubbles in tea anyway, so it isn’t much of a loss on my part. The drinks are also very reasonably priced when compared to other boba shops, and you get to choose the amount of sugar in your drink (but I will say that there is a severe lack of any other kind of customization, which is slightly disappointing).
All in all, CTB is my favorite spot for boba in Elk Grove. I highly recommend it!

Decided to pass by here since I was visiting my home town & saw that there was a new Boba place surprisingly so close to the residential Franklin area. With that being said, if you know the Elk Grove area. this might not be the best location because it’s very hidden.
I give this place a solid 4 stars. Good drinks, good service, and is open late!
I got the oolong milk tea with Boba and it was pretty good! I would def recommend getting a large cause its only 50 cents more and its way bigger portion. You can also choose your choice of sweetness, which I really like when it comes to milk tea. The menu is very simple lacks a bit of selections compared to other places but not too bad. The workers seemed very attentive and were quick with their service which is a big plus! Like a lot of boba places, they have a lot of board games for a group of friends to play and I really like the music they play here (lots of r&b). As for the décor, it’s VERY clean which is a big plus but it could use some décor work but I’m not surprised it lacks a bit since it just opened.
Mind you all its right next to Franklin High… so I would assume this place would be filled with a bunch of high schoolers during the peak time school gets out so be aware of that if you know what I mean. lolll.

I was craving boba today so I decided to stop by this new location in Elk Grove. As I walked in I noticed that this area was much larger than the one in sac. It was also very quiet and there wasn’t any customers. The employee taking me order was also very kind and offered samples as well. Their ‘Tea balls’ are known as ‘pearls’ and they are black instead of their signature white balls. I ordered a honey green tea 25% sweetness with boba and grassjelly and overall, it satisfied me.

One of my favorite boba places is finally in Elk Grove. YES!
This location is much bigger than the Sacramento one. I love that it is open to midnight despite being located in the middle of neighborhoods. I’ve visited on multiple occasions at night and business seems to be doing fairly well.
The Roasted Milk Tea with grass jelly (#1) is always a safe choice. I’ve had some inconsistencies with flavoring for drinks, but they are still good overall.
Regular size is pretty much a large at other places. Super worth the money!

This one is bigger than the other location on Stockton and 65^th. This place is in the same place as wrap and roll. I noticed that a lot of kids come here at night. It’s probably because school was out at the time. Everything was bigger. A wider counter, a wider menu. Everything was just bigger. Obviously because the place is more spacious than the other one. This location offers games for kids/​teens to come in and hang out. Which is not bad at all. It brings in business.
The menu is exactly like the other one. You can add what they have only if it’s boba/​jelly. For example if I want honey lemon tea instead of just honey tea, they can’t do it. Which is ok because that’s their rules. Drinks taste the same. I still only enjoy the mango green tea. Milk ‘teas eh, maybe I’m just over it. Too powdery? Too sweet? Not enough ice? I’m so picky. But everyone else likes it.

One of my favorite boba spots in Elk Grove. I’m really happy they finally opened up! The Florin location wasn’t too far but this is way more convenient. The milk tea is my choice as usual. I get regular sugar because I have a sweet tooth! Their boba is good and fresh! Sometimes I don’t get it because there’s so much and it takes away me enjoying the drink itself. This location takes a little bit longer but they are very kind and the place is spacious and there’s board games!

5 stars for the regular milk tea. The flavor is unlike the milk teas I have been to recently, the place on Big Horn & Wandering Boba truck. This one has a unique & yummy flavor. And high fives for tasty perfect chewiness, texture & sweet boba as well. It’s close to work & as long as this place is here I doubt I will visit the other places again, it’s that good!
3 stars for the price. The small was too big. I don’t want to pay $ 4 for a drink. However, I placed my yummy leftover drink in the fridge and drank the tea the next day. Balls were hard the next day, so I spit those out. But I was glad to have more tea for the day after. They had an even bigger size that looked as big as a half gallon of milk. Next time I will opt for no balls. Or less balls.
4 stars for the lady at the register. Cant rememebr anything special, but I would def remember to Unilocal it of she was rude. So that’s a good thing. No news is good news, as they say.
5 stars for the samples left out for us to try. Regular boba tea & I can’t remember the other sample but it was surprisingly good. It was some wierd flower I think. Hibiscus maybe? But it was good. Felt very earthy and Chinese drinking it.
4 stars for layout. Was kinda cold and empty in there, but I appreciate the wi fi attempt (but password didnt work), games present (jenga & connect 4) & many chairs & tables.
YES I would go back. I wanna try the jasmine milk tea, my other usual drink.

The best thing about this place is the size. It doesn’t feel as crowded as the one on 65^th but its a pretty good place. The first thing you notice is the different types of tables and seating and then the order counter. It is much longer and offers a «wait» area if that is what you want to call it. Staff was really friendly and the drink I ordered came out in a decent amount of time (knowing the prep. everything right then in there I know it will take a little bit of time).
The one thing I don’t like about this place is the location, specially at a night. This was the only place that was open with the other small business closed and its way out in a residential area.
Other than that is pretty cool and chill place to be.

If you come here come and get the large, it is only 50 cents more and so much bigger. Also you need to try the cool balls which look like white boba. This was the first place I ever had white boba and it was delicious. I think I prefer white boba over the normal tapioca boba because if I dont finish my drink I can put the white boba tea in the fridge and it would still be good the next day.
I came here with some friends because they wanted a snack while we were hanging out. The place seemed pretty big, unfortunately we brought games and wanted to play games in the little room in the back but the lights didn’t work. The staff was attentive and offered us various samples of the tea. I really like the roasted milk tea and the mango tea. The service was decent and I believe it was about $ 4.50 for a large roasted milk tea with white balls.

Looks like we also have one in San Jose now, but I got the litchi green tea and there was nothing wrong with it. Got a regular, which was huge, and the larges looked massive.
They had no pearls, but that’s okay, didn’t need them anyways. Tasted good and lots of seating. Was packed full of youngins lol.

Stopped by on a Saturday night. Ordered a large #1 (grass jelly roasted milk tea at 30%). I saw the price difference and thought, why not… it’s only fifty cents more. Ha! Yes, it was only some coins more than regular; but large… was l-​a-​r-​g-​e! Definitely got my money’s worth. Love the drinks, the option to select sweetness, the fact that they’re open until midnight, and the great customer service!

Talk about friendly service and a commitment to customers! We were able to try out almost every combination of ingredients without feeling that we were wasting their food or being Greedy!
We were welcomed with the fast feel good music at a sound level appropriate for conversing at normal chatter. The place has a simple futuristic industrial feel with both bar and sit down tables. They obviously want peeps to stay awhile and relax… and maybe order more drinks! There’s free Wifi and board games to help out with this. Only a sofa is missing. The tables and floors were impeccable and I can see this tea bar being a hang out place with its close proximity of the Jr. and High School.
I am writing this as I’m enjoying drinking their most popular Roasted Milk Tea with a bunch of good stuff. The ingredients taste fresh with no hard boba or over powered sweets to over compensate for a lack of original Tea base.
With the popularity of Boba, I’m unsure what makes this place unique other than the proximity to my home… Thus I’m giving it a solid 4 stars. Maybe they can add Macaroons or Fish balls or sofa… I don’t know but I’ll come here for my boba fix and contemplate it more in the future.

Solid 4 stars! I love boba! This place has roasted milk tea, yummy! Although they don’t have a ton of toppings, they have a few of the popular ones. The tea flavors are really tasty! My drink was the no. 1 with the addition of coffee jelly, tapioca pearls, and egg pudding. Omg, it is awesome!
What service! It’s very accommodating, although the menu selections aren’t quite as vast as other competitors out there, they allow you to sample not just the boba or topping selections but they also let you try a little bit of the tea with the toppings! That’s new! Yum!
So walking in, the place has a very modernist style with their lighting and simplistic décor. The menu screens and the changing advertising screen breaks up the lack of décor. I’m sure it will be a matter of time before more pictures or décor will get put up; new business here.
I thought it was neat that these guys do school fundraisers too!
Since the drink tops are sealed, no messes on the floor. This place is very clean. The bathroom for women was closed so I have yet to check it out.
I’ll give them their 5^th star once they begin serving yummy treats/​snacks. I hope these guys are here to stay! Keep business in EG and come here!

Omg they’re finally opened! Today is their soft opening and the location is huge compared to the other ones! Very roomy with lots of seating; tall and short tables. The employees are very friendly and knowledgable although the menu is limited for this first weekend. They offer samples so it’s good for the newbies to CTB.
The grand opening is on Nov 17!!! :D love love love cool tea

Eff it yo I’m giving it cinco cuz my drinko was so delicioso ~
Long awaited opening. Twice the size of the one in South Sac. Literally a minute away from my place now. Too close for comfort, my belly says. *Yoda voice*
Always been a big fan of their Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea (Regular — $ 4, Large -$ 4.50). Today, we started with a couple of shots of their Mango Green Tea & Pearl Milk Tea. Hot dang it, everything was super creamy and refreshing; good thing I already ordered No. 1 before I wasted more time deciding.
So 5 stars. Why not. I’m in a good mood. It’s Saturday morning. I skipped breakfast for this. Still happy. My tastebuds rejoice.

Welcome to Elk Grove, Cool Tea Bar! It’s about time… I’ve driven by this location for months anxiously awaiting any type of announcement about grand opening. I was starting to think they changed their mind!
The location? Not the best. Well it’s the best for me because I live near it… but for them, it’s not a busy shopping center at all, unless it’s after 3pm on a weekday when the nearby high schoolers get out. But I’m not complaining — as long as I don’t go there during that time frame then I’m good!
As for the inside — it’s huge! It’s 2 – 3 times bigger than the South Sac location. It’s going to be a popular hangout spot once people hear about the new location opening.
We were the first customers for soft opening. They were very apologetic about us waiting while they set up. They even made us some samples while we waited. We tried the mango green tea (so refreshing!) and the regular milk tea. I’m always a fan of the roasted milk tea but the regular milk tea was surprisingly really good! It wasn’t your average milk tea. I’ll probably be here very often so I’ll have to get that one next time!
Can’t wait to see what’s in store for this new location. Hope they stick around for a long time!

My 11^th Grand Opening review!
Well it’s about time after how long when will this Cool Tea Bar in Elk Grove will be opened after their interior completion, and it did thanks to the soft opening weekend event today on 11/​14/​2015. As I headed back from Roseville, I was heading to the new CTB for a try, and wow! This place is very wide spaced, and cleaner than the Sacramento CTB location. They have plenty of tables available, so you can sit anywhere you want. The concept remains the same as most CTB has from Sacramento area to the Bay Area too.
The baristas inside this Elk Grove location is very friendly and totally cool as I welcomed there for the first time! No cons at all!
The drinks menu is the same as I mentioned earlier, so I ordered the CTB’s signature drink: the Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea. So far, that drink is very good! Much tastier than the Sacramento location. Not a bad drink at all!
There’s some few games available, so you can play it with your friends at anytime.
There’s also have plenty of parking spaces available too which you can park anywhere you want especially riding with a bike, walking, and public transportation.
To conclude, Cool Tea Bar in Elk Grove is the coolest, and the most awesomeness place that I’ve visited! Perfect for friends gatherings! A well, worthy visit! My rating: 5 solid stars!
