Try something new and adventurous at the popular Sweet Lab Boba Tea & Desserts. They have a variety of mouthwatering desserts from ice cream, milkshakes, milk teas with boba, and much more. Milk tea with boba (also known as bubble tea) is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in the 1980s and contain a tea base mixed with fruit flavor or milk with fun little tapioca balls also known as boba. There is an endless varitey of flavors you can choose from such as honeydew, strawberry, coffee, or even plain milk tea. Mix and match your own flavors if you’re adventurous! What makes them one of the top dessert places in Lodi? They also have unique ice cream flavors that you won’t find at your typical ice cream shop. One such flavor is ube, which is a vivid violet Filipino ice cream flavor prepared using ube (purple yam) as the main ingredient and has a mildly sweet and nutty taste to it. It tastes amazing! Another fan favorite is the honey lavender, which has a lavender essence infused in sweet honey milk!

Just like the milk tea, you can create your own ice cream combination. Put it in a cup, a salted caramel infused ice cream cone, a bubble waffle cone, or even a glazed donut ice cream donut sandwich. Get wild with your imagination and create the best dessert ever at Sweet Lab Boba Tea & Desserts.

Cold treats with a little boost tickling your fancy? You must make a visit to Mokulemne Brew House for their famously delicious affogato. Affogato is a wonderful Italian drink-dessert consisting of vanilla gelato and freshly brewed espresso–it’s a perfect treat on a hot summer day or those mid-afternoon work days where you want that little kick of caffeine. If you want to enjoy a little bit of local art with your desserts, take a stroll over to Tony Segale’s Double Dip Gallery where they showcase watercolor, acrylic, reverse gold leaf glass lettering art, pottery, and hand made jewelry. After 50 feet of the gallery you will find an ice cream counter serving 16 flavors of Gunther’s ice cream, a Sacramento favorite since 1940! This is another popular tourist site when visiting Lodi. Looking for more a more traditional dessert option to satisfy for sweet tooth?

Maybe you aren’t interested in anything cold to eat for dessert or just want something lighter.
