I was so excited when I saw Presotea on Yelp! I used to go to the locations in SoCal, so imagine my pleasant surprise when the very first NorCal location turned out to be in Elk Grove. I had high expectations because I enjoyed the drinks in the past and loved that their other locations oftentimes had great promotions or deals going on.
When you walk in, there are people taking orders and two mobile order tablets as well, which makes ordering easy. There are a few tables too for people to sit at, but it is still a smaller space overall. Presotea has a large variety of drinks, including fruit teas, teas, milk teas, Vietnamese coffees, and others. I decided on the hojicha milk tea, 50% sweetness, less ice, and panda boba. The tea flavor itself was good and strong, and I enjoyed the combination of black and agar boba. The drink was a tad bit on the sweeter side for my preference, but next time I'll just get 25% sweetness. The cashier wasn't quite sure whether or not the creamer was nondairy when I asked, but they do allow substitutions with oat milk or another alternative for an extra cost. The prices are reasonable, and they also have a point system.
The (I believe) owner of the shop also came around to check in on us and ask how we enjoyed the drinks, so that was nice of him. Overall, I'm glad Presotea has made its way up here, and I'm excited to keep coming back to try their other drinks! Hopefully they will have just as many good deals as their SoCal location too.
