Got an Americano but the person who was taking my order (seemed like an owner) didn’t even ask if I wanted iced/hot just gave it to me iced when I forgot to mention it. When I asked how are the small/medium cup sizes she seemed annoyed and had
lazy mannerisms like she couldn’t be bothered with me. It was $6 for an americano! That was sweetened without my choice! Which is ridiculous. Owner was like do you need change? As if she just expected no change. Horrible service.

You have to go here! So cute on the inside, clean and pleasant. The boba tastes so good and authentic. Service is friendly. Most underrated boba place in the twin cities. My mom and I will be back!

This fall Bambu alongside two other companies will be providing the desserts for the 3 Day event. Going with everything local in twin cities. A good friend fawns over Bambu! Both are foodies so I trust their disclosure wholeheartedly; giving the benefit of any doubt; I am so excited to try their goodies especially for the upcoming event; coronavirus interrupted our initial dates and were going to be simple and use cub foods bakery; however, the group has grown for this event and so has the mind. Great smells and very cozy set up! Will update review on food after the sweet feast with my pal here!!

I stopped in here yesterday and ordered the #3 Awesome Trio. It had red bean, white bean, mung bean paste, taro paste, pandan jelly and coconut milk. I would say the most notable items in this drink were the pandan jelly, taro paste, and mung bean paste with the pandan jelly probably being my favorite. It was noodle like in appearance, slightly chewy, and texturally pleasing.

This drink was heavy on the red bean and white bean which you could probably tell from the images on the website, but I am typically a fan of sweet beans so I didn’t mind this too much. I did not see white beans on the menu for this drink so I am not sure what was going on there. I’m not sure if I didn’t mix it up enough or if it was just heavy on the beans, but I was just eating spoonfuls of beans at the end since they clumped together and would not fit through the straw. Otherwise, I thought it was pretty good and had a nice mix of flavors.

If I was to stop by again, I would probably try the taro lover as it has most of my favorite ingredients. I have also seen some people knocking the customer service here, but the lady who served me had good customer service! The parking in this area is probably going to be a struggle, but I lucked out and got a spot right in front of the establishment. It is a little pricey but it is a fun treat to get here and there throughout the summer.

It took about 15 minutes to get my coffees and sandwich. Worth the wait.

Bambu always hits the spot with its wonderful variety of drinks. The ube waffle is spectacular—crispy, light, and just the right amount of sweet. I love coming here just to relax with a good drink, a pastry, or dessert. The service is always friendly, which makes the experience even better.

Cute little cafe. Decided to
Swing by around 2 pm because I was craving Vietnamese desserts/beverages.

Service - the lady was super sweet and explained to me the drinks I was curious about. Also explained that I could adjust the sugar levels.

Ambiance - clean with a few cafe style seats inside.

Food - ended up ordering two drinks (#6 and #12) with 25% sugar level. Drinks are definitely quality with lots of delicious stuff inside. For what you get, the prices are very reasonable. There were also some lychee and coconut jelly which I’d be curious to try next time, along with the mochi pandan waffles.

We used to love going here. My hubby was a huge fan of the mangonada and I loved the matcha w/mango boba. Unfortunately, the reason for us no longer going is the customer service. The younger asian lady was ALWAYS In a bad mood and rude!! (I think she was one of the owners) :/ I hated the way she treated my husband. Talk about horrible customer service! We got to the point and discussed whether we should go or not, having to deal with her crusty attitude. I see from other reviews we werent the only ones she's had an attitude with. If you dont like dealing with people you're in the WRONG industry! The older lady was always sweet and we always hoped she would be the person ringing us up. Honestly, having this feeling about dealing with that rude individual wasn't worth it. So, we've decided to give our business to other boba shops. There's definitely a lot of amazing ones around the Minneapolis area. Goodbye Bambu!
