“Boba was so good! Sizes were a bit small though. The place was very very dirty and there were some young kids alone being very loud.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian because it’s boba.Dietary restrictions: Lots of alternatives for dietary restrictionsWheelchair accessibility: Not very accessible because it was a very small space.“
“This place is amazing. I'm a ways out but I still drive all the way over here to get my loose leaf tea. They have jars of loose leaf tea you can smell before deciding what to buy, which is helpful for trying something new, whether getting it as a drink or getting loose leaf tea for home. The tea tastes great and the atmosphere of the place is cozy and cute. I like to get a personal size tea pot and stay a while. And they have so many tea options, I could never get bored with their options. If I lived closer I'd come every day.Dietary restrictions: I have celiac disease and have never gotten sick here. I don't get their food though so I can only comment on their drinks.“
“This place is amazing! There's always a bit of a line and for good reason, but it moves along fairly quickly. Self order at touch screen and they call your name out. Great rotating selection of melt-in-your-mouth, always soft, mochi dough donuts with some staples like the taro and black sesame -- you can't go wrong, but those two and the strawberry are my personal faves. I also love the Thai tea and stir fried boba!“
“This place is a gem. The people there are absolutely amazing. We've been there over a dozen times now and we always leave completely satisfied. The chef often comes out and asks what he can do differently to make the food better. They even remember our names and spice level preferences!“
“Bought fresh doughnut holes and a syringe of filling to inject into them- this will be a blast with the grandkids! And I bought a bacon and egg croissant- the omelet was delicious, the bacon generous... but I wouldn't have cared either way because the tender, flaky croissant was sooooo delicious!!!!! Highly highly recommended!!Parking: Parking directly in front of establishment. Quick and easy in and out!“
“First time here, we were greeted within moments of entering the shop. Lots of choices, staff were very patient while we made our decisions (6 drinks). Drinks only took a few minutes to prepare and we were on our way. The kids love all things boba, and the boba servings were very generous. The husband usually isn't into these kinds of drinks, but really enjoyed the matcha latte. I think he was pleasantly surprised. Quality of the drinks were on point and I think the prices were very fair. We will definitely stop again next time we're in the area.“
“Ice cream was god they had a lot of fun flavors. A little overpriced for what you get in my opinion. The guy working was nice and explained flavors and made recommendations. They had good amount of seating and some kids seating as well. Great place to go a hot day.“
“Best Vietnamese in the Twin Cities, period.I can't believe they've in Minneapolis for 11 years, and it took me until last week to discover this prize of restaurant. The food quality is so good here and you can taste the love and integrity in every bite of every dish. We had the chicken Pho, shrimp spring rolls, and the mock duck bahn mi. Everything was outstanding. So fresh, flavorful, and the best part was after eating that large meal (great portions), I felt really good and I could tell that everything I ate was really nourishing. Fresh, bright, delicious... I applaud you, My Huong Kitchen.The woman owner came over to us while we were paying our bill (such good prices, btw) and gave us each a piece of delicious monk fruit. So sweet.Will be back, undoubtably!“
“Since my family moved from Minneapolis to Crystal last summer, this bakery is a place where my family have began to frequently visit.A really calming atmosphere to either study or relax and chat with friends.I got a mango smoothie along with some cookies, the smoothie was excellent and was a more mild sweetness that I really enjoyed.The cookies were alright, but were better than I did expect.Overall, I really like this place and is pretty close by to where we live. Definitely worth to give the place a try!“
“Always quick! This location is accurate 90% of the time. Sometimes they miss certain customizations but that’s simple human error. It happens. This time around everything was perfect! Would be nice if they had some seating but I understand the space is limited.“
“I usually go to the waffle bar in Lakeville, so this is my first time here. The first thing I noticed of course is the lack of cotton candy, so already lost one point there for me. The waffle was also lacking, I think maybe dive it's late the machine probably hasn't been cleaned much throughout the day. The staff was really nice though and the ice cream is always good.“
“Genuinely this place was awsome. So pink and cute! I will admit nothing was windblown, but overall a very good place to stop for boba and waffles. I recommend at least trying 1 of the waffles, they are easy to share with friends and family ❤️“
“Becky goes above and beyond serving the community! Products are excellent quality and so yummy. I feel so great after the pre workout and like to add a shot of aloe to it!!! She took time to answer questions I had in detail and has a wonderful boutique inside as well!“
“My mom and I came here for some bubble tea. It's very cute on the inside, and service was friendly! The drinks were made quickly and the prices were reasonable. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because both of our drinks were pretty sweet. I got milk tea and my mom got a fruit tea. I'm usually a sweet tooth, but it was very sweet even for me. Next time I come, I definitely will ask for less or no sugar.“
“Rating only for service and drink. With so many bubble tea stores these days it can be difficult to ascertain which to go to especially if you are new to bubble tea. Well, whether you are a veteran to bubble tea or a newb you will find something to enjoy here. We decided to try the dragonfruit passion fruit tea with Boba. It was delicious.“
Donut Shops • $
“Swung by for dessert after dinner at Hot Pot City. The ordering experience at the kiosk was super easy! I just wish there were other options for sizes - maybe I just didn't see them? I appreciate when places let you pick your sweetness level. I ordered a chizu taro latte with 25% sweetness at the recommendation of a friend and it was delicious! My husband ordered a hazelnut with the stir fried boba. They unfortunately were out of the boba, but the kid at the counter was very sweet and offered us an alternative. I'll definitely be back and will be ordering a donut as well!“
“Best flavor and texture of Mochi donuts I've had in the twin cities. They do a great job of quality and freshness. Family-owned outlet of a chain. They also have some pre-made bubble teas and Korean cheese/corn dogs that I didn't try. The pistachio donut was my favorite of the three I tried. The lemon raspberry was nice - the glazes were sweet with a little tartness. The Nutella donut was by far the worst - tasted like bad cheap chocolate-ish icing with no hazelnut flavor at all. Watch outs: the Nutella donut is glazed with bad plain chocolate icing, and it's implied that you can only buy multi-packs of donuts. You can buy a single donut, but have to ask specifically for that.“
“Adorable! Located inside the Highland Lunds and Byerlys, this Caribou is spacious with loads of table seating and large windows providing natural lighting. Special shout-out to Taylor who was my barista on Halloween in the early hours who was alert, peppy, generous and kind. She even had her personal recommendations up on a little board which I was ecstatic to try the latte with 1 shot of maple and a 1/2 shot of pumpkin. Super delicious! The space was clean, full of merchandise and served with a positive attitude. Thank you Taylor and Caribou!“
“Love this little boba shop on Nicollet Mall. I find the location very convenient and the staff are always super friendly. The h2O is my favorite in the summer to pick up on the way to peavey plaza and in the winter it's accessible through the Skyway system. The Creme Brulee makes a great winter drink :)“
“I came here and got a taro slush one time! That is my go-to order at almost every place. I really really like the interior and can see myself coming here to study. It is very calming and fun inside. Also, the service was so good! The workers were very nice, respectful, and caring. Honestly, the taro slush wasn't the best, but I can't hate too much because they did their best. I could taste the individual ice chunks inside it, though. I'm sure their other orders are really good! Overall, a good experience!“
“The food here is absolutely delicious! Our order came out in less than 15 minutes even with the restaurant bring super busy! The food itself was great quality and fresh!Parking is a little tricky to find since it's in Dinkytown but there's a parking garage with free parking less than a 5 minute walk away!“
Bubble Tea •
“Another afternoon boba adventure. Tried this Feng Cha. This dirty boba (brown sugar boba) is tasty. I like their passion fruit with lemon drink; it quenched my thirst. If you go to this joint, do park at Fresh Thyme parking lot and walk around the building to enter Feng Cha (which is facing University Ave (it’s a free parking).“
“Very cutely decorated inside! I ordered the Melon Tea with added popping boba and jellies. I usually don't like when the tea is too bitter but this flavor was perfect! I also should have asked for no tapioca boba but they were very fresh, so not too chewy (which is usually my problem). Would highly recommend.You might have to wait a minute for your drink to come out but it is worth it!“
“I stopped by the Eden Prairie mall Niko Niko, previously known as Chatime, on opening day 9/23/23. I was so excited to try the new Oreo Cookie Crunch with Sweet Cream and wow it was incredible! Loved all the other drinks too: dragonfruit green tea with rainbow jellies, mango green tea, and a signature milk tea with boba.The new branding is super cute and there are lots of desserts and snacks!“
“I love the motiitos, but service was not very fast and the cups the drinks come in are rather fragile (my friend had one cup explode when dropped and the other cracked when they squeezed it too hard). Other boba shops have more resilient cups.The chairs in the store were disorganized, which detracted from the overall atmosphere.“
“Let me start by saying how much I love Sencha. I only recently discovered Sencha in the Summer of 2023, by taking a community education class about bubble tea! In that class, not only did we get to learn about where bubble tea originates, but we got to explore different kinds of tea as well. The biggest bonus of this class, learning how great HOT bubble tea is. It is a cozy winter drink that is worth trying. I love bubble tea, but the thought and care that Sencha puts into sourcing great tea, is wonderful and I would recommend anyone go. This will be a regular stop of my household once we can bike over there, which should be soon as we have not really had a winter. Lastly, the service is great at Sencha. You can ask questions, ask for recommendations, and try new things without judgement. Tea is a big world and Sencha makes it accessible.“
“We stopped by after having a late lunch next door and were not disappointed! A great variety of offerings all done on one of two order kiosks. So many options! Drinks and unique snacks. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea with strawberry popping boba and my friend ordered a latte with Oreos and strawberry popping boba. Both were delicious! I can't wait to try different offerings“
“The only reason I put 4 stars, is because they use paper straws. I get saving the environment, but I had how soggy my straw gets trying to enjoy my drink. They then switched to paper cups now. I can't see the pretty ribbons of brown sugar anymore. Their paper cups and paper straws makes the drink taste off and I always have to transfer it into a different cup to enjoy.“
“It’s a reliable chain. This location is very busy, but they’re quick to make your order, and staff is helpful. Love the post-it wall, fun to read while you wait for your order. I get my tea at 75% sweetness because they tend to make it on the sweet side.Parking: Free shared parking lot with other businesses right in front of the store, plenty of spots available“
“I absolutely love this place! Run by teenagers with great attitudes.. I was weary ? when I saw the kids in there and barely anyone who looked over 18, however... they proved me wrong. They were smiling ?, helpful, and the calamari was cooked better than most restaurants around.. a little heavy on the spicy seasoning, but it definitely was delicious! The drinks are made very well, and the atmosphere is so fun with the swings that can hold much weight, so anyone waiting can have a swing and chill. Great , great vibes!!“
“I was very surprised to see a tii cup location here so ofc we had to try it! My go-to is always a jasmine milk tea with boba, number 2 sweet and less ice. The flavors did not disappoint, rich but with a bold tea flavor. The decor surprised me as well, compared to most other locations around the twin cities, it looked very clean and nice, not worn out at all!“
“UniUni Tea is located within the Legendary Spice restaurant. They offer various milk teas, fruit teas, and smoothies. I like the serving size because it’s sold for a good price. It’s also delicious and a good treat so go and treat yourself.“
“This place owns the bragging rights to the best beef noodle soup selection in Edina. The cuisine is listed as Taiwanese not Hong Kong style which is an excellent departure from the usual wonton dumpling fare. As it was a Monday, the service was quick even with a party table of ten people seated before us.“
