I was looking for coffee nearby and saw this place had that and Taiyaki! So I had to visit it. Hands down, Sweet Reef has the best boba in SLO county! The first time, we got a Vanilla Latte and a Strawberry Matcha. The Vanilla Latte had the perfect balance of sweet vanilla flavour without losing the good coffee taste. I asked for a less sweet taste on the Strawberry Matcha and I loved it. The second time, I got a Brown Sugar Matcha with boba and asked for a stronger matcha taste. I was not disappointed! The drinks taste so good, the boba is super chewy. We also tried the Cheddar Cheese, Cookie Butter and Red Bean Taiyaki. They were all good, but the Red Bean Taiyaki was my favourite in flavour. The dough was just a little bit too dry with the Cookie Butter combination. Shout out to Rola and Ayten for their excellent service. They made the drinks exactly the way we wanted them, we got our drinks super fast and they were very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Will definitely come again next time...

Their tapioca pearls are 4/5 because it varies on their chew and I prefer soft and chewy. You get a lot of boba as a add-in. I get...
Read moreVery small shop, it was very warm inside, smelled musty, and only a few bar stools to sit inside. Nice staff. One of the drinks we got had a cracked cup, guess they didn't notice when handing it to us. It leaked everywhere and I let them know to which they transfered into a new cup quickly. I'm a boba lover and our drinks tasted watered down, not much flavor. Boba wasn't brown sugar as poster claimed, they just tasted like regualr boba. The boba was chewy and soft. They forgot about our tayaoki so we waited a bit longer than expected. Tayaoki was just ok, nothing like the ones from Somi Somi. Batter texture...
