Crema's Take
“Soul Sweets is a hidden gem in Scotts Valley where the boba truly shines—reviewers consistently praise it as the best quality in the Santa Cruz area, with creamy milk teas you can customize to your exact sweetness preference. Beyond the exceptional drinks, this cheerful spot serves up creative soft serve, fish-shaped taiyaki, and quality pastries in a family-friendly atmosphere that keeps people coming back as regulars, even if the slightly out-of-the-way location means you might wait a bit for your order.”

I think this is the best quality boba in santa cruz area, it is so delicious. Sometimes you will wait a little longer but it is worth it. The only thing is, if you order the taiyaki its usually a long wait because they dont keep the waffle irons hot. However when I have taken the time to wait for them they are really tasty.
Specifically came here as they advertise all these exotic and cool flavors of soft serve… that is a lie. for example, if you order the chocolate chip soft serve, it’s vanilla, with a bunch of chocolate chips just thrown on the top of it- The only actual flavors of soft serve they have are vanilla and pineapple. they don’t even have chocolate . Super lame.
Soul Sweet - The Dessert House in Scotts Valley is a cheerful lively pop music sweet stop for ice cream, boba teas, and they even have Taiyaki (it’s like a pancake pressed in the shape of a fish 🐠 & filling with custard , sweet bean or chocolate). I had the Thai Iced Tea with boba (tapioca balls). This is a nice place for kids or a freshmen after a movie at the yr Cinelux theaters near by! This location is hidden, just go towards the back & it’s on the side of Ace Hardware & besides Eric’s Deli. (This used to be Rita’s but they closed)
This out of the way Boba Bar has great selection, friendly atmosphere, and pretty good flavours. I hope that they are able to succeed despite being nearly invisible from the street, as it is one of the better Boba locations in the community, and serves snacks to boot! (More places should have an arcade machine like this~)
Yay a good boba place in Scotts Valley! Definitely will be a regular! I love milk tea but sometime they can get too sweet. I love that at this place you can adjust your sweetness level to match your preference. I tried the sea salt cream for the first time and the flavor surprised me at first, but it really grows on you as you get the perfect mixture of salty and sweet. Their snacks are also delicious! I can't wait to try all the flavors, and I will for sure be back to try the rest
