The Sweet Corner

Hi Boba Friends!

I went to 3 (yes, 3) different milk tea shops this week just for you! The first one that I went to was The Sweet Corner, which is located in the back of Vietnam Town on Story Rd. in San Jose. I love the atmosphere of Sweet Corner with its French inspired theme.

I have been here multiple times, but my review will just focus on this visit. I went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy with all the tables filled. The interaction with the cashier was quick and friendly. Their menu is full of different drinks and Vietnamese desserts, but I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with regular boba and 100% sugar. The drink was just right, not too sweet or bitter. You can definitely taste the tea in the drink compared to other places. I did not like the boba - it was too chewy and hard for my taste. The outside of the boba was soft, but once on the inner side, it was not fully cooked. (For reference, my favorite boba is Tpumps boba.) Overall, I would give my drink a 3.5 out of 5 rating.

There are a couple of downsides to Sweet Corner. The first one is that the credit card minimum is $10, so come with cash if you are not looking to spend $10 on drinks or desserts. They only have one size (which is decent), but the prices are a little high. For only one size, the drink I got was about $4.25 - this is definitely considered pricey in the San Jose area.

Look forward to my upcoming reviews on 2 other shops soon!
