I was looking for a great place to have lunch, and drove right past the boba tea sign, ended up having to do a U-turn to try out the Sweet Nation. Very happy I tried it, excellent selection and variety of teas, they also do all kinds of bobas. I only came in for the Boba tea and it was hands-down delicious. Also the attendant was very nice and makes it right in front of you.

We have been coming here since it first opened but had not been in several months. I am under the impression that it had changed ownership several months ago when I had last gone. At that time they seems disorganized and did not have everything in stock but that was understandable and I excused our order being slightly wrong. A year ago I would have rated this place five stars and could not think of any complaints. Tonight changed that. We had a simple order of two taro milk teas with brown sugar boba and a Korean corn dog. Our wait time was almost 30 minutes, which was near twice as long as any other time we had been here for the same order. Both of the taro milk teas were a sludgy barely light brown color, bitter, had very little boba and were 90% ice. The boba syrup tasted scorched and the the boba was nowhere near cooked fully. Other than our drink being slightly bitter and the issues with the boba, the actual milk tea portion had little to no flavor beyond tap water. Yes we did order 50% sugar (like we have always done here) but this had no sweetness at all. The corn dog was extremely hot on the outside but the cheese was not. The employees seemed significantly more dismissive than I've ever experienced here.
Overall, We will not be back unless we hear that staffing or ownership has changed which is extremely disappointing as this was our favorite local boba stop.

The owner/manager was very attentive after we had a bit of a negative experience with the flavor of drinks and wait so I updated my review due. A place that is attentive to customers after small mistakes is a very respectable quality and shows they care and know when they need to make improvements. We will definitely continue to comeback because we enjoy Sweet nation’s food and service. They were very nice about it after they reached out to us to make things right. Thank you Sweet Nation! I will continue to update my review more positively the more we visit!
Update: The boba is good again! This time it had great flavor and the boba was bigger and chewy! Definitely recommend this place! Noticed an improvement in the music today too but maybe I am biased haha.

That banana split is amazing and the store is a bit small but the girls make up for it. They're very nice

The service was terrible and I could go on and on and the food was served raw and and owner was very disrespectful to me and my family😤🤬 I recommend going to daylight donuts they have the best boba and great donuts✅ and it was served fast with only 1 worker and the atmosphere was kid friendly.

I love sweets and went in, hoping to find my happy place. I had my 3 kids and wife with me the first-time and only time so far. We tried $70 worth of different things; not knowing where to start, the churros where over cooked and too hard to eat. Nobody liked either of the 2 different smoothies. Had one the Fruit Cup things off the menu, the one with 🍌 and 🍓 with granola bits all overly covered with some kind of syrup or jelly. It was not bad. Thought it was missing something like ice cream or yogurt maybe, and without it, everything else seemed to be too much. They sell the bottle drinks that my kids LOVe like the ones they sell in Florida by the beach with the marble inside. The blue raspberry Lemmonaid and bobba were great. Didn't try any of the coffee's. Might have been a bad day or terrible ordering on my part. I'll try again sometime to be sure and hopefully fix this review because it's a nice chill place with great service.
We got the hot cheeto mozzarella korean corn dog, it was good for the first couple bites but you get tired of the flavor easily! i also got the cotton candy refresher with boba, it was amazing! my sister got a blue raz slush that was so watery it tasted like tap water.
All is amazing the man was nice and the place is a nice and chill mood and I always go there to get boba and look forward to going back❤️❤️
Great place I loved it!!
