The Dirty Boba soft serve is the best of both worlds! Craved a boba down the street, but came here to find ice cream.

The ice cream has so much ice, not as good as before. They changed the name from milk cow to sweet cow, the ice cream is not good now. It doesn’t worth the money, go to McDonald’s you could buy 2 bowls and taste better.

Another stop on the Pasadena Boba trail (see list). This spot it interesting because it has a heavy soft serve element so you can get a wider variety of treat in addition to the standard Boba drinks. Ordering is entirely by a touch screen or via a qr code. This proved to be an issue when baes request for almond slivers on her excellent mango sorbet was not honored. "SC: We don't do toppings on special items like the Mango sorbet".A: but we ordered them on the app.SC: that was just a request. You can't actually order toppings in the app.A: maybe just give me a small cup of almonds?SC: OK, just give her the almonds.I thought it was strange that the pushed back on what seemed like a pretty simple request, after all, they do offer sliced almonds on OTHER soft serve items, just not the mango sorbet, which is a special item.

Excellent tea with boba (the clear boba are really neat to eat too). The mochi strawberry milk tea is to die for. I’m not a huge fan of the soft serve of any kind but folks I’ve been with think it’s good. Service used to be so-so but there is a new person there lately who is super kind. Whenever I order from home they have it ready within 5 minutes. We have so many choices for boba here but this is one of the best I’ve tried.Parking: Parking is on the street but if not there too long it’s free and usually there are spaces - if not on the main main street then definitely on the side streets.

Ordered Thai milk tea normal everything. I usually prefer when they put a lot of ice because it’s usually really sweet but tasted watered down. Not enough tea flavour. Milk amount was good/okay. Drank it as soon as I got it. Service was quick and friendly but I used the kiosk. The cups are nice and sturdy, Sad they took away their outdoor patio.

Little boba and ice cream shop near my college. Decent prices and good flavors. Size is a little lacking tho.

If you blink, you may miss it--so don't blink. Look for an innovative approach to your favorite ice cream offerings with a bit of Asian flair. Sweet Cow cafe is right across Colorado from Pasadena Community College. I was greeted with a warm smile and my questions were answered graciously. My chocolate shake was delicious, crafted with care and especially refreshing on an unusually warm afternoon. The presentations of the standards are eclectic. Street parking makes it easy to slip in and sip out. Stop in!

Aesthetically, such a cute boba spot! I went on a Saturday night and my party was the only one there. It wasn't busy at all! I ordered a milk tea with boba (25% sugar) - I would say it was good, and it was $8. My friend ordered a matcha latte with boba, and it tasted like milk. Can't say they were impressed. Regardless, if you're in the area, it's a pretty cool spot to study in or meet with friends.

Cute & aesthetic cafe! Great for studying, or work.Servers are kind, and will always make great suggestions. Their menu has a good variety of sweets, so you cannot go wrong with anything there.

My experience was just okay..Drinks: - Tiramisu milk tea w/ boba: 6.8/10 Despite ordering it at 100% (regular) sweetness, I just felt like it was lacking in terms of flavor. It wasn't that sweet and honestly tasted kinda water down. The flavor didn't really resemble tiramisu and the boba was kinda hard. - Ice cream Jasmine milk tea w/ boba: 7/10 I would say this tasted a bit better than the tiramisu tea as the jasmine milk tea was a lot more flavorful. The ice cream definitely added to it too but the boba was still kinda hard. - Mango green tea w/ lychee jelly: 7.8/10This one was personally my favorite as it was refreshing and didn't taste waterdown. I could taste the mango and it was just like what you would get at other stores, nothing spectacular but still good! Tiramisu: 6/10 Similar to the tiramisu milk tea, I felt like the flavor was just kinda lacking. The coffee flavor wasn't strong and it was just disappointing as a tiramisu lover. The cup was quite small in comparison to the price tag of $7.75 (w/o tax). Service: It took quite awhile for the worker to make our drinks despite no one really being around. Ambiance:It's a cute place to sit and study at as there were quite a few tables and sitting areas. The shop itself isn't that big but there was still seating. The decoration was cute!

The Dirty Boba Soft Serve was delicious! It came out very fast and the guy serving me was very nice. When I came in it was empty but the place felt very cozy. I'll definitely be coming here more regularly after my classes!
