Boba Teas were great. But what left us wanting to go back was their Portuguese Egg Tarts. Soooooo good. Definitely a must stop next time were in Franklin, TN.

The la mian noodles are super yummy. I ordered the spicy one and it’s really hot but could still taste the flavors. Bubble tea is also my other top favorite. Bobas are well cooked, not overly soft or hard, just right with enough chewiness. Price is good too. Another favorite is Portuguese egg tarts. Pricey but good when you don’t feel like making them yourself! 😉

On a Saturday morning at 11 am, we were the only ones there. Take-out-only due to the pandemic. I ordered the spicy wonton soup, small cherry pie, Portuguese egg tart, Japanese cheesecake, and taro boba tea.The wait wasn’t bad, about 10 minutes. The service was friendly (I think it was the owner), and he gave menu many options, which I really appreciated. Service was 5/5.I really liked all the food, though the Portuguese egg tart wasn’t quite what I was expecting. The crust was super flaky, but the inside was a little more like pudding, and not as firmly set as I’m used to.The Japanese cheesecake was just to my liking. It’s right in between the crumbliness of a traditional flour cake and the creaminess of a cheesecake. It’s sort of a weird texture if you are not used to it, but I love it. It’s a little expensive, but well worth it. I’ve considered making it in the past, but a couple Youtube videos later, found it too overwhelming to even bother with.The wonton soup was the only hot dish that we tried, and it was perfect: Spicy, fragrant, and piping hot. A little hard to eat in the car, but worth the effort.The cherry pie was flaky, buttery, and the crumb topping had a nice little bite to it. Well worth the four dollars.Lastly, the taro boba tea: Not bad, but I’ve had better. The boba was a bit more firm than I think it’s supposed to be.Absolutely worth checking out. I will definitely visit again.

The woman in the bakery was so sweet! I loved my pecan pie- but I wasnt a fan of the coconut boba... it just tasted like milk. But other than that, I enjoyed!

Best pies and tarts EVER! This chef can cook!!! They are also one of the very few places that sells Bubble Tea in Franklin. Clean, up to date atmosphere, convenient location. Open Sundays too! Great place to bring visitors from out of town or get pies for holidays, church gatherings and special occasions! Prices are very reasonable too! (See photos for details.)

Sweet Dreams have great pork noodles. And the vanilla milk boba tea was amazing. It does take about 20 minutes for the noodles to be ready but it’s worth it! I recommend it!

Just average drinks and perhaps the minimum level of acceptable customer service. The staff seems super paranoid about Covid and only operate through a window and self made (albeit decently) speaker and mic. They dont accept cash, which I assume is due to the possibility of Covid being on the cash. Then they very briefly open the window to take your card for payment while wearing disposable clear gloves, and to hand off your drinks, then quickly close it as if the customers might violently spew disease at them at any moment. I get being cautious, but this feels way over the top, especially considering the latest new case data in TN.

Taro tea was good but even though i was the only person in line, the woman was rushing me to decide on a snack, and even tried to make the decision for me saying “get this, it’s good” and ringing it up when it wasn’t what i wanted. i decided not to get a snack at all and to only get the tea. i gave her my card and it declined and i told her to swipe it again bc i know it has sufficient funds, she said “it doesn’t work” and handed it back to me and shut the window. soooo beyond rude and i was very excited to try this place.

Just ok nothing really special tried the Japanese cheesecake but it was really nothing spectacular.For 14.99 I think I think is too high for just an ok cheesecake.

Review №15

This place is in my top two of best bubble tea in middle TN. Milk tea with bubbles and egg custard is the bomb! Most similar to Taiwanese bubble tea stands 100%. Only complaint is my call ahead order was not prepared until I got there and reminded them of order. Worth the wait though since they were busy! Its my go to for when the bubble tea craving hits.

My husband and I visited this bakery for the first time last weekend. We arrived there shortly after opening with no other cars in sight. The bakery had set up a take-out window at their front door area, prohibiting customers from setting foot inside. I actually liked this set-up very much as I have been reluctant to enter stores/restaurants due to the pandemic. After reviewing the menu, we ordered the highly coveted Portuguese egg tarts and a few other items. We expected to be given our pastries shortly after placing our order, but were surprised we had to wait nearly 15-20min before hand. Considering it was our first time there, it was off-putting that the lady who assisted us did not mention anything about an extended wait time. We noticed a couple other ppl who arrived after us and observed they too had to wait. One person only ordered 1 item and still had to wait for a bit. When our order finally arrived, we were extremely annoyed with the overall wait time considering that its a bakery, where all the pastries should have already been prepared and ready to go. I would have definitely given this place a much lower review, HOWEVER, its saving Grace is that the Portuguese Egg Tarts, the Moon Cakes and pies I ordered were absolutely divine!!! The egg custard was silky smooth, rich and perfectly sweet. The top was slightly carmelized and the delicate flaky crust blew my mind. As much as I wanted to rate them a 1, I simply couldnt because I was so impressed with my entire order. Instead, I am giving Sweet Dreams Bakery a 4, nicking 1 star because of the wait time. Regardless, I highly recommend this place. 💖

Best Milk tea boba place near Nashville is in Franklin TN. A real Asian flavor, mine was a little too sweet but next time I will order less sugar, in general is the best one I have tried . I have been tasting all the boba places in Nashville and there is one that I like and that one is OK. I’m so sad this one is too far from my home but I’m sure every time I have come to Franklin I will definitely go to Sweet Dreams Bakery & Bubble Tea.

Im from out of town and is a boba tea fanatic. I was quite impressed that it was good.I hate due to COVID we couldnt go inside. I wanted to try some bakery, I eat with my eyes so I have to see the items. Ill definitely stop by again if Im ever in the area.

My husband and I have visited this bakery dozens of times for sweet treats and bubble tea. I typically get the classic milk tea with boba pearls as a smoothie, and it is always blended well and tastes wonderful. I haven’t tried their food options yet, but they look delicious so I’ll update my review. I would highly recommend!

Finally, authentic east asian dishes. From the spicy wonton soup mixed with chilli oil, to Sichuan spicy chicken. Really cant get closer than this. The wonton soup was spicy, starchy, filled with meat, and fantastic.Also got original milk tea with lychee bubbles, very sweet and refreshing. Will be back for sure.

This place is wonderful. The spicy chicken is so tender and moist. Authentic Chinese chicken with a dynamite sauce (and a very large portion). Don’t just come here for the bubble tea and the egg tart (also OUTSTANDING). As a Chinese person, I give this place five stars. I just wish I could have tried the pies as well.

WORST SERVICE. DO NOT GO HERE ON LUNCH BREAK. Online ordering appears functional but is not. In person ordering took 30 minutes waiting outside the store to receive 1 drink and 1 order of dumplings. Served 4 people with larger orders after mine before I received mine. Extremely disappointed. Do not bother with this place.

Review №31

We ordered a few bubble teas to go, and thought it was a bit weird when people were coming and going with their orders when we still hadnt gotten ours after 15 or so minutes. After bringing it to their attention they whipped them up quickly and offered us a complimentary bakery item, which was very thoughtful. Unfortunately, the teas just werent great and one was made wrong. Additionally they were a little watery for milk teas and kind of soapy tasting. Glad we only got the regular size.

I cant say enough GREAT THINGS about this place. First, the ownership is incredible. They come out each and every time were in there to talk to us about our experience with their bubble tea, pies, and egg tarts. They genuinely care about our feedback, how fresh their pastries are, and they are very concerned about the customer experience as well. How many places even do that anymore? This family run bakery has top notch service that never disappoints!Second and even more importantly though, the food is incredible. We ordered a chocolate chip pecan pie for Thanksgiving, and it is one of the best pies Ive ever had. It stayed fresh well beyond even the first day we had it, and you can tell that both the recipe and the time taken to bake it were followed very carefully.My wife is from Taiwan, and she has been looking for a bubble tea place in Nashville, and she is delighted to have found this place. I love the combination of pastries Im familiar with as well as the different cultural ones my wife loves from growing up back in Asia that I have been able to try.I highly recommend trying this place. It wont disappoint you, and you will be back more than once! I cant wait to get my next pie!

Review №35

Any expectations I had for this humble store in Franklin were vastly exceeded by the quality of product available.Sweet Dreams tea is a cut above similar stores, their beverages always taste fresh and delicious reflective of intensional product decisions.They provide sweetness customization and are one of the few stores to have grass jelly as a textural option.Cheesecake. Do not pass up on their cheesecake. Not foolishly marred with fruit or candy, this impossibly light dessert changed my perception on what cheesecake should be.One of many delicious pastry options.Their wantons are also worth mentioning. Although not on their menu (last time I visited) they are tasty, comforting, aromatic and an affordable light lunch option, just ask!Sweet Dreams direct approach to sales may rub some the wrong way, however their products are well worth any awkwardness.

First time visiting Sweet Dreams Bakery & Bubble Tea. I had my two kiddos and Sister with me. I walked in at around 7:40 p.m. like an annoying customer being they close at 8:00 p.m. I asked if it was too late to serve four and he did not hesitate one bit! We have been here and there to different Bubble Tea places, Sweet Dreams has the BEST by far. Great and friendly service. Definitely worth the drive from Hendersonville. Will be back again very soon!

The boba are just right, which is hard to find, especially in this part of the country. There is no Thai Tea which I think is a boba staple. There is also no Vietnamese Coffee, either. Less of a staple but still my favorite boba drink. The coffee milk tea that they do have is pretty good but could be stronger. I look forward to trying this place again.

Id been searching for a local bakery for Chinese-style pastries and breads for literally over a year and had just about given up hope when I discovered that Sweet Dreams had opened up shop in Franklin! The shop is very well-appointed and sells a few varieties of Chinese baked goods (pineapple buns with sweet custard / 菠蘿包, savory meat-and-scallion bread, taro bread, pastries with mooncake-style sweet bean fillings, and egg tarts / 蛋撻), as well as a wide selection of 4 and 9 (by pre-order) Southern-style pies and bubble tea. We tried a little of everything - the Chinese pastries/buns are just like the ones I grew up with (from Bostons Chinatown), the pecan pie was scrumptious and measures up to my favorite area pie shops, and the bubble tea was solid with customizable toppings and sweetness levels. The owners are super nice and welcoming, and theyve curated a unique style of decor that melds together a modern Southern aesthetic (lots of wood and a sliding barn door) and Asian design elements. My wife and I will definitely be back! My only selfish wish is that their business grows to the point where they can open a second branch in Nashville proper so we can drop my more often!
