If you are looking for great customer service, high quality drinks and a place to catch up on work or hang out with friends outside in the nice California weather, this is the place to go. It is a smaller café but I really enjoy the atmosphere and the fire-​pit outside. Drinks tend to run on the sweet side but their chai is wonderful and they are very helpful in recommending new things to try. Try their white mocha frappé with boba, you won’t be disappointed

Might be the best mocha I’ve had in the Five Cities area. The service was good as well. If you just want good coffee this is the place to go. If you want to sit down and relax maybe you should go to another coffee shop.

Best service and ample selection. Boba is just the right texture. Since we stopped by for dessert, we didn’t get to try their coffee selection. Definitely will stop by next time when we are in the area.

I drive from SoCal to NorCal often and everytime I do, I have to stop by Black Sugar Café to order their «All That Jazz» coffee drink and buy some of their gourmet rice crispy cakes! They have so many different kinds but I love the Oreo flavored one the best! The All That Jazz drink is a warm espresso drink with a creamy and smooth hazelnut and Nutella marriage of flavors and it so good, especially in this cold weather! Kim was my cashier and not only was she really fast at making my drink, but she was so sweet and made me feel right at home. I love this sweet little shop and cannot wait to be back!

I always keep coming back to order the blended Thai iced tea with boba. Y’all, it tastes amazing. I’m not a Thai iced tea expert in at all but damn, this is the best one I’ve had. It’s sweet and reminiscent of a lucky charms marshmallow but is cut with a sharp vanilla to make it not overwhelming.
Also, DAT BOBA DOE. So sweet, perfect consistency, and they always load up my drink with boba! Some places literally give enough to coat the bottom but they always do at least two heaping spoonfuls!
But what keeps me coming back is the service. Every time, super friendly and polite women who welcome me in and give me the best drink. And like I said before, they don’t skimp on boba or flavor of tea!
Next time I go, I want to try the blended matcha or the milk tea! (JK totally going for the blended Thai tea boba, hehe.)

Hello stranger,
I was just a traveler staying for the weekend. I was craving some Quickly yet there wasn’t any for 100 miles. As soon as i was about to give up hope, i saw tour flashing boba sign on your store window.
Alas, is this fate? I stop by and visit you and you give me a smoothie that cured my ailing heart.
The matcha green tea was an absolute blast. It tasted as if the green tea has always been there even before the store began its wonderful business.
And don’t get me started on the Thai tea… it was… let’s say… .er what’s the best way to put it?
Oh i know, AMAZING. Everything a thai tea was supposed to be, was present. I loved it… yet my heart breaks again for I know i will be longing for your thai tea again my friend. Anyone in need of a boba treatment, come here. They will take care of you in both taste and love.
Sincerely,
A fellow traveler who will return

Boba Thai tea disappointment :(
We are so spoiled in Vegas with all of our great tea houses and this location was the only one anywhere near us in Pismo. We took a shot and unfortunately it didn’t work out. Luckily this was the only thing that was a let down all weekend.
The Thai tea was insanely sweet & bitter. The boba were total mush with zero flavor. My friends didn’t like their drinks either & after a few sips we threw them away.
On a good note the little shop is very cute and the girls working there were very friendly. Too bad the drinks we ordered didn’t match the rest of the place. I appreciate the attempt but it was a major fail with our choices. Also Unilocal offers $ 1 off any drink over $ 4 with a check-​in and those freebies or savings are always appreciated.

Definitely the best boba in the area that I’ve tried yet. I typically order their Thai iced tea with boba both blended or over I’ve and both are super good. I ordered boba one time in the morning and it did taste like perhaps it was a day old but all other times I’ve had it it’d tasted fresh! My husband orders the strawberry smoothies with boba and the smoothie leaves something to be desired… it just doesn’t taste strongly of strawberry. He hasn’t ventured out and tried their other smoothies so hopefully he can find something else on their menu he likes since I drag him here often for my boba fix.
All the employees we’ve encountered have been super nice and provide great customer service!

I have had the chance to come here and try several things. Each and every time I have been impressed. I have even tried to challenge the Baristas asking for a combo of flavors. Every time they are more than willing to oblige me! So far I have had two great pinini sandwiches, the green tea, Thai tea, Pina Colada, and mango boba. I have also tried several hot and cold specialty drinks and I love them all. My favorite two are the Lucky nut pistachio frappé and the green planet green tea macchiatto served up with a nice slice of one of their awesome cheesecakes.

Some of the best chai I’ve ever had. I got half spiced, half vanilla chai. Staff is super helpful and friendly. If you don’t know what to get just ask them.

By far the best boba spot in the central coast. I live in the Bay Area 9 months out of the year so I’m used to excellent quality boba, but when I want to get boba in the central coast I’m always disappointed by either the quality of the taste of my drink, lack of boba balls, and the unreasonable price. At black sugar café, the drinks were so delicious and they were not stingy on their boba! I got the black sugar latte one and it was to die for. I finished the drink within minutes since it was so good. My cousin ordered the almond slush boba and that tasted delicious too. The staff were so informative, and friendly too. I would definitely recommend coming here. I don’t even live in arroyo grande, but I’d definitely make the trip.

My boyfriend was craving boba while we were out of town at the beach and this place popped up on Unilocal with good reviews.
We decided to give it a try, although he really liked his drink (Taro smoothie with boba) my Thai Tea smoothie with boba was just okay. The boba here does taste fresh even though we got there 45 minutes before closing.
My rating would be higher but we got two desserts, it came out to being $ 6 or $ 7 per dessert and they definitely were not worth it. My boyfriend really wanted the cheesecake because he’s a huge fan but he didn’t like it and neither did I. It fell short of satisfying how appealing it looked.
Probably would go back, just for the drinks and definitely not ordering a (Star fruit)? smoothie again.

I was Looking forward to going here because of the great reviews, although they had no marshmallows to make the hot chocolate drink that was fancily shown on Unilocal,the little chocolate moose cheese cake was handed to us in a to go container with no chocolate or Caramell topping on it, we had to ask the girl to add it, well she only added the chocolate & we had to again remind her to add the caramel. The frozen sea salt hot chocolate seemed a little chalky. I did enjoy my green tea boba drink. We may give it a try again since there is not a whole lot places that sell Boba drinks in Oceano. Il ad pics but don’t let them fool you.

I have been to a lot of places for boba. Black Sugar is my favorite. I can’t go more than two or three days without one.
The staff is very friendly and helpful in creating my favorite boba. (Milk tea with boba, coconut jellies and flan) YUMMY

YUMMM!
Love everything about this cute little gem! I couldn’t decide what to order because the names of the drinks made me want to try them all! Over the rainbow w/​a twitchy add shot? YES PLEASE!
I also recommend the Thai Chicken Panini! Delicious. The perfect amount of contrasting flavors to keep my mouth wanting more… and more.
Check this place out, you will not be disappointed.

I am updating my review to three stars unfortunately due to the fact that lately they have been out of many ingredients for the boba drinks and the Black Sugar Latte. I was in there today and wanted that latte and was told there wasn’t any custard. It was only 1pm and they’re already out? Really? I still love this place but they need to make sure they have enough ingredients made for the entire day.

Very nice place! The food is great and the drinks are wonderful! The one thing that I think everyone should at least try ounce are the Boba frappé’s! They are one of the most interesting drinks i’v ever tried! Plus the prices aren’t to bad, however I do feel that the Boba drinks could go down in price a bit. $ 4.50 is a tad high in my opinion. Over all I would highly recommend trying this place out!
