This was my third or fourth time at Northeast Tea House. Great tea selection, wonderful atmosphere, and floor seating (as well as tables/chairs). They offer some fun sweet treats as well (not permanent menu items necessarily).
This is such a great place to have in the neighborhood. It has an incredibly calming atmosphere and offers a very unique experience. Great for those wanting to try something new or those who know exactly what their taste is. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience, incredible atmosphere, and extraordinary quality.
We stumbled into the Northeast Tea House after smoking a blunt, and it was like stepping into a calm, warm hug. The woman working there was great and gently guided us to a cozy spot, offering us a cup of soothing tea.
The quiet atmosphere, soft music, and incredible tea quickly brought us back to ourself. We left feeling clear-headed and calm. Highly recommend this place for anyone who needs a peaceful escape!
This is a store that separates itself from the rest. Providing a unique atmosphere and product. My recommendation for anyone visiting Minneapolis with any interest in Matcha. Truly blessed to have this shop in our city
Matcha was good! Definitely high quality, although I wish they had more varieties. Desserts were both yummy—we got the matcha cheesecake and red bean mochi.
Great experience and very helpful and friendly!
The tea house is quiet and charming, with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. They have a thoughtful policy of discouraging electronics that make any noise or clicking sounds, like laptops, which helps maintain a peaceful environment. However, tablets and phones with touch screens are welcome, allowing for a relaxed, technology-light experience.
I visited with some friends to try authentic matcha tea, and while we may not have the most refined taste for traditional teas, I found that matcha may not be “my cup of tea.” It was chalky, dry, and quite bitter, which might be true to its authentic flavor but wasn’t quite to my taste.
That said, it’s definitely worth trying, especially if you’re curious about traditional teas! The service was attentive and friendly, though the prices felt a bit on the high side.
Parking: Parking is difficult to find. One will have to find their own street parking spot.

I love this place the staff are always pleasant and helpful. I don't get my tea from any where else since I've found them I'm no tea expert but I love all there diffrent matchas the spring sencha and I just tried there Moa Feng which I thought was excellent. Plus they have a rewards program every other time I go there i get $10 off so that's cool.

All the servers are so kind
My favorite place in Minneapolis!! I come here a few times a month. It’s very calming - a unique place to relax or meet a friend.
I try a different tea every time and usually get a little snack to go with it. I’ve never been disappointed!
Incredible place!

I’m usually a big fan of tea houses, so I was excited to try this one in Minnesota for the first time. Unfortunately, the service was a letdown, and I didn’t feel particularly welcomed. While the Matcha was good, the Puer tea lemonade was underwhelming—I could barely taste the tea.

I will preface my review by saying that we got tea to go. The atmosphere was super nice in this tea shop but that's where the positives end.
My duck poop ice tea ($7.64) tasted like sugar (the syrups they used) with a small hint of tea, which I could not even tell the tea was duck poop. My local boba tea shop in Chicago does better than that (they also have duck poop iced tea and they're not a high end tea house). I thought this was my bad for picking something iced that had syrup in it. Sadly, this was the best drink out of the 4 we got.
My two other friends got hot tea and they only tasted water. This is because the person preparing the to go teas simply poured the hot water through a sieve containing the tea leaves into the to-go cup like he was washing the tea. There was no seeping, no timer, and no 2nd pour of water through tea leaves.
I would avoid this shop if you are getting anything to go. I'm surprised at such a low standard of preparation in such a nice teashop even if it was to go.
I will also say my 4th friend that got the 2nd iced tea (iced jasmine tea) got a refund after she complained on square - when she went up to the counter they only said sorry, he showed her jasmine tea flowers after she said she didn't get any jasmine flavor in the ice tea.
