"The aroma is incredibly sweet as soon as you walk in! There are plenty seats inside for patrons. Service was rendered very quickly and the milkshake was delicious! The quantity was perfect for two people to share"

Waffle Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (220) • $

"Photogenic Waffles [Minneapolis MN]While driving through Downtown Minneapolis we spotted this dessert place and pulled up in a small private parking lot. The interior is not very big with a few table seating. We ordered a Banana Cream Waffle, a Strawberry Whip Waffle (two separate because they didn't have a dessert that had both the strawberry and banana in one), we also got a PB Love Signature Bubble Waffle. We shared the desserts so we can have a little bit of everything. Delicious treats! I tried their specialty drink the Butterfly Lemonade (lemonade pea tea and lemon slice) simple yet refreshing! It came in a souvenir glass jar w/ twist top. The two gals behind the counter were quick and before we can say "waffles" our desserts were ready! Friendly and fast service! Satisfy that sweet tooth and head over to Waffle Bar! Instagram: @wafflebarmnReview #3183"

Tasty Pot - Minneapolis

★★★★☆ 3.9 (203) • $$

"I usually don't choose to eat hotpot but I went here with some friends and I am starting to change my mind how I feel!! I've gone here once before and didn't love it but I will definitely would come back. I got the beef hot soup. It contains a variety of food like like napa, beef slices, enoki mushrooms and more. I liked that is was already a set rather than everything being a la carte. I also added instant ramen because I loveeee anything with noodles. I shared it with a friend and it was a pretty good portion for the two of us! They do have different sizes to choose from as well. The service was good and everything came out fast and efficient. If you are a hotpot lover I would check this place out!"

Indigo Tea Co.

★★★★☆ 4.3 (108) • $

"I've been here a few times with friends, and it is such a fantastic bubble tea spot. They have a ton of options, and they all taste amazing. Some of my favorite things include:- The bamboo straws: so fun to drink out of and honestly better than plastic straws- The environment: so relaxing and cute, and it's fun to look at the shop items while waiting in line- The timers: after you order, they give you a sand timers and tell you to come back to the front when it finishes. It's surprisingly accurate, I have never had my order not be ready when I went back, and they're so cute and entertaining.All in all, a really ambient environment perfect for studying or catching up with friends with really good boba, and I'll definitely be going back."

"Desserts and bubble tea. Service is quick unless the moon cakes those wait, but still recommend ambiance chill hangout"

Waffle Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (89)

"The Waffle Bar is not just your average waffle bar. The owner definitely takes care and prides himself in the flavors of his product. From the delicious creamy ice cream to the fresh baked cookies and freshly made waffles. The ingredients are nothing less than fresh. The flavors are definitely consistent. I have yet to taste any stale toppings so I congratulate the owner on doing that. It's hard to find somewhere that sells ice cream and it's toppings where it doesn't have either stale sprinkles or ice cream with freezer burn. Waffle Bar is definitely a fun family friendly place where there is something for everyone. Favs!#1 Cookieapolis with Vanilla ice cream! Highly recommended!Salty Unicorn S'mores MoreThai TeaNext trip we're definitely trying the Chick in a Cone! It looks delish!"

Poke House & Tea Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (85)

"This is a pleasant spot for a quick fresh meal, quiet and brightly lit with natural light; came and caught up with my auntie for an hour and a half lunch. Hits the Poke itch in the inland Midwest - keep in mind that the refrigerator poke bowl with stale rice at nearby Whole foods costs the same.The reason I'm leaving a stellar review though (even though their bathroom is temporarily out of service) is because of the very kind and friendly staff - I left my purse there by accident and retraced my steps but didn't realize until the next morning it must have been separated from me there, and they were immensely helpful and cheerful in reuniting us! Nothing went missing.I'm glad this simple spot is conveniently located between me and my auntie"

Ding Tea St. Paul

★★★★★ 4.5 (74)

"This is one of my go-to boba places in the Twin Cities. Consistently efficient service & good boba. I get their signature milk tea with 50% sugar & their golden boba always seems fresh & perfectly chewy. It's still on the sweet side so may go down to lower next time. I tried their apple tea recently and that was refreshing too but I prefer the milk tea more since it's less sweet. The inside has cute decor & it's been a good spot for mtgs though seating is limited. I love that they have a free parking lot in the back too. Def check this place out!"

ChaYes Tea

★★★★☆ 3.9 (93) • $

"The strawberry bing on its own is lightly flavored. Definitely not overwhelming in flavor and not at all sweet. Just subtle strawberry, which pairs nicely with whatever you decide to add on. The mango was so fresh and ripe, it was absolutely delicious. The peaches, during peach season, were canned which was disappointing. And the chocolate sauce drizzle was a good compliment. 2 people couldn't finish this but we both enjoyed it. They were out of a lot of options and flavors. We did come near closing so maybe they ran out after a busy day. They are adding a large selection of food to their menu in a couple of weeks."

Sencha Tea Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (88) • $$

"Great service and affordable price. Lots of space to chat and do homework. Seems like a great little spot to hang out with friends."

Dog Park Gourmet Hot Dogs

★★★★★ 4.7 (49)

"Having driven by Dog Park Gourmet Hot Dogs in Chanhassen for two years, I was intrigued. Just hot dogs? How does that work? So we stopped in for what turned to be a pleasant lunch.Entering "Dog Park" in Yelp's search tool is hard to find on Yelp, even after playing with the interactive map. I hope Yelp will expand the search options to include "Dog Park," as this boutique cafe at 7828 Market Blvd. in Chanhassen turns out to be a one-of-a-kind eatery that offers an interesting array of hot dogs and other sausages with all the "fixings." Each item has a canine-appropriate name, such as "Bull Dog," "Chew Toy," and "Dog Catcher". Also on the menu are Italian beef sandwiches, a variety slushies, bubble tea and other tea varieties, lemonade, and juices.They're delicious, reasonably priced, and worth a try. The owner is a pleasant fellow who explained their offerings and happily agreed to a few customizations. Nice customer service.The only complaint I have is the lighting, which casts a purple-blue hue to everything, including the food. Odd for a food establishment, and not very appetizing. I've corrected the color balance on the attached images as best I could.As for this chow hound (sorry, I couldn't resist), I'll definitely be back"

Simplicitea

★★★★★ 4.5 (51) • $$

"A quiet established tea/coffee shop with near minimalist interior. The modern plant filled shop is warm and cozy with counters along the large windows. There are tables and the atmosphere filled with New Age type music. The chalk written menu board is loaded with more tea choices than I've seen elsewhere, so this place is highly specialized in milky tea drinks. I, however like coffee and ordered an Americano from the brief coffee choices. Served at proper temp the brew was on the bland side. Still drinkable just not up to my memory imprint of other places where I sip and say, "wow"!If you are a tea aficionado this is your place. If you like a quiet place to contemplate your life's ebb and flow this is your place."

GoCha Teahouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (61)

"I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. I have never had a more perfect boba. Perfectly cooked!!! The inside was big and cozy. I ordered inside and it was ready in 2 minutes! Best boba spot in Minnesota I've had so far!"

Tea Time

★★★★★ 4.6 (42) • $

"I seriously did not expect to find boba in Rochester. In fact, I am inclined to say that this may be the only place that has it in all of Rochester?I actually noticed this shop several months ago, but I didn't go in because it was much too cold for me to even consider iced drinks at the time. Now that it's warmer, I decided to stop in since I had some business to take care of at Avis next door.The menu isn't so grand when compared to some other shops, but adequate enough. Majority of the time, I drink any type of iced tea unsweetened when it's offered. But on that day for whatever reason, I got the Kumquot Lemon Green Tea with the "less" sweetness level, and it was sweet. Crazy sweet. On top of that, I got strawberry popping boba when I didn't ask for it, so that took the crazy sweetness to a whole different level. I think it was a misunderstanding when I asked what it was.Not sure if I'd go back again, but, I sincerely hope that this business continues to prosper. The folks of Downtown Rochester seem to appreciate Tea Time being there."

Sushi Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (60)

"They've upped their game since I last tried them. New and flavorful options available. The chicken wings were deliciously airy and crispy. The seasoning is heavy and salty but you can easily shake some off if you don't want it. Not sure if the main draw for people is the sushi or the boba but both have some great options to try. The best part about this place is their food packaging. You can tell that they think about the consumer in how they smartly pack their items. Fried items have a stream vent to allow items to stay warm but still crispy. I've yet to retry the hibachi grill items but may give it a try again some day. Definitely a good option for the area."

Song Tea & Poke

★★★★☆ 4.1 (41) • $$

"Finally a poke place in Blaine. I tried the volcano house bowl which has tuna and salmon fish. The spicy sauce is amazing. The portion size is pretty big. Cute clean place in the strip mall. Stopped in around 5ish and the place was buzzing with people and to go orders. I noticed a lot of people grabbing boba teas (should've gotten one). Definitely will be back!"

Ichiddo Ramen - Minnetonka

★★★★☆ 4.4 (33)

"The sushi was excellent. I tried several of the usual rolls like Alaska and Philadelphia and they were very well done. I had a couple of the fancier rolls and they are quite a meal. Overall this is a very good sushi place. I did notice that couples say side by side here and not across from each other."

Nice 2 Meet Cha

★★★★★ 4.5 (30) • $$

"I was looking forward to trying this place since I passed it months ago. It's a cute place with a nice ambiance. However, it had a funny smell. I can't describe it. It's not like anything I had smelled previously. This deterred me from trying food. I decided to just try a bubble tea. I ordered the Thai tea. The pricing structure was different than I had experienced in other places. Bubble tea where "bubbles" are extra seems odd to me. Like I've experienced other places, one can select the level of sweetness.Large cup not very large. The cup is tapered. Between that and being filled with ice, there isn't very much tea. the flavor was good though."

Freshly Leaf

"Cute boba place alert! I was recently up in the northern suburbs and made it a point to check out this new business. I was greeted by the nicest employee who helped me pick a cafe fav - the Supreme Signature Milk Tea. Pearls were fresh & chewy & the creme brûlée on the bottom was unique. Just make sure to mix that up w/ ur straw. I chatted with the owner a bit. Turns out they just opened this summer in 2021 & it's been super challenging but he and his fiancé have created a very cute place here. There's pokemon, hello kitty & more little figurines decorating the space. I also saw traces of the owner's Korean culture around in the Line Friends keychains & snacks like choco pies & turtle chips that you can buy. I hope they succeed so go try them out & support this Asian-owned business."

Treats Cereal Bar & Boba

★★★★★ 4.5 (28)

"Relocated to Blaine, treats has been steadily busy for a great summer stop during your day!Ample Parking and kind staff made this trip easy and fun! Treats specializes in cereal based ice cream as well as waffles, boba tea and serve Spyhouse coffee (drool).I went for their classic Treat tea with boba. I would say I was not really impressed. It was really sweet and taste reminded me of chocolate milk versus a milk tea. It did have ample boba which was nice! I also ordered their waffle with Oreos and Nutella. It was perfect to split between two people. It felt more of a kid vibe place but I do love that I can get spyhouse coffee local now! I'll be checking this place out again."

Lien Son Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (40) • $

"Tried the Orange Chicken combination, a little different than my usual OC, but still good. Definitely want to try a few other items on their menu. Will be back soon"

Hello Boba

★★★★★ 4.5 (25)

"This boba tea shop just opened. It is very clean and the staff was friendly.I ordered the cafe sua da which had the most amount of caffeine and was delicious. I also ordered the peachy breeze which is very refreshing.It was a pleasure to see the dog boba and he is the sweetest ever.I highly recommend this place if you are in the area."

Sakura Sushi & Hibachi Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (22)

"Sooooo fresh. Amazing selection of specialty rolls plus the usual suspects. They do not have a beer/wine/liquor license yet so they give you endless bottles of water. (Appently they don't have a dishwasher either so everything is served on paper plates or in to go containers.)We have tried a number of rolls. All have been amazing and again the fish is so fresh. Soft shell crab was fried in panko and very tasty. Calamari was meh. We haven't eaten hibachi but every sushi toll was great. Favorite so far the Sashimi Magic Roll. Sooo good. Ocean Roll, Tornado Roll Aldo amazing. They have a huge listing of specialty rolls. Tiny little place but huge menu! They also do boba tea and have a large selection of Boba tea too."

Best Taste of Pho Saigon

★★★★☆ 3.5 (35)

"We wanted pho on a rainy afternoon and found ourselves here. So many surprises from the time we sat down. A big family group was finishing up a meal, and another table looked like another family group had just left. The first page of the menu had familiar items like pho, but most of the menu had shellfish dishes I had never seen before, including shellfish salads. They also had balut, a delicacy I had never seen on a menu before. We just had to try the balut with satay, and our server kindly made sure we knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into. We also ordered okra with fermented tofu sauce and pho with all the fixings. I enjoyed the balut. The satay sauce made it seem like a simple duck egg with other things in it. The okra was grilled tender, and it went well with both the tofu sauce and satay. I was slightly disappointed with the pho broth, though. My spouse enjoyed it, but I thought it was much better with a squeeze of lime. The service was attentive and friendly, and the space was brightly decorated and well kept. There was a single large screen television with a music program. It seems like a nice place to take a family. One drawback: there aren't many choices for people who want a vegetable-centered dish. Still, I'd love to come back sometime and try some of the many shellfish dishes."

Freshly Leaf -Maple Grove

★★★★★ 4.5 (21)

"If you're looking for a spot after lunch or dinner, this place is the perfect spot. Drinks are fresh and satisfying. The tea itself is rich and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. But then there are these little pearls that are chewy, slightly sweet every sip is like a new experience the textures, it's the perfect pick-me-up and just so satisfying. I would definitely recommend checkout this spot. Service is quick and very friendly from the staff. Bright and lots of room to hangout while sipping a drink."

Songtea & Poke

★★★★★ 4.6 (20)

"been here the past 3 days for this strawberry matcha latte 25% with oatmilk the fried shrimp is good and the yum yum sauce is sweet & sticky"

Oh My Swee-Tea

★★★★☆ 4.3 (22)

"Phenomenal! Chi, one of the owners, is the sweetest and you can tell she puts her love into making the tea. The place is clean, welcoming, and has amazing options! I have got many teas here and all are amazing!"

Ichiddo Ramen-Apple Valley

★★★★★ 4.7 (16)

"Fantastic ramen. I ordered extra noodles and the server recommended I also get extra broth. They weren't kidding, the extra noodle was a full second serving.The broth was delicate and flavorful.I added hot oil about halfway through and will probably do that from now on. Not overpowering, but definitely a spicy kick. It turned the broth orange!Highly recommend."

Mochi Donuts And Boba Tea

★★★★☆ 4.4 (18)

"This is an up-and-coming business. I foresee a booming success in their future. Their doughnuts are fantastic. My favorite is the black sesame doughnut. It sounds savory, but it's sweet, though not overly so. The texture is chewy and airy all at once. The bubble tea that they serve tastes different than what I'm used to at a Taiwanese bubble tea place that I frequent, but that's to be expected and it's fun to explore different kinds. The cups that they put the drinks in are of good quality and can be saved for later at home. The staff were super friendly, and I told them that I hope they apply to get into the state fair. There is an Instagram style photo op spot on the wall, but the atmosphere overall is very plain and sterile. However, I imagine that will change over time once they gain more traction. Five stars!"

Bellas Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18)

"This is a great, old school ice cream shop. The owners are super friendly and the ice cream, donuts, and coffee are GREAT!Not a chain and they are struggling to get it off the ground due to Covid and also all the construction going on for the new light rail line.PLEASE seek them out and patronize their store - it's small local businesses like this that make Hopkins unique."

Song Tea & Poke

★★★★☆ 4 (15)

"My 9-year-old son and I came here for a date. I had never been here or to a similar place before, and I had no idea what to expect. The place was pretty busy at 4 on a Monday, but it moved pretty quickly - we waited about 15 minutes. There was only 1 person working, but she was quick and diligent. We ordered the Volcano bowl and a Thai Milk Tea. We split both. The bowl was good. I wouldn't say the bowl was spicy, but we liked it. We both enjoyed the tea. I was a little unhappy with the music. It was loud and it was singing inappropriate music while we were waiting for our food. I don't expect to love the music that is being played when I'm out, but I do think it should be acceptable for all who are listening."

Ton Ramen

★★★★★ 4.9 (9)

"Hidden culinary gem in albertville Mn of all places. I'd eat off the floor on here the entire place is spotless. food and service are top notch! this is what this community needs are more gems like Ton Ramen where service is standout and the food speaks for itself. come check em out. we lovvvvvve this place."

Ippin Ramen

★★★★★ 4.6 (10)

"The long awaited ramen place is finally here and the food is not disappointing! The atmosphere is cute with a Japanese decor theme. While the menu isn't huge, it has a little of everything for both novice ramen eaters to veteran ramen connoisseurs (well, almost). The noodles are nicely cooked so that they are slight chewy and not mushy... all the fixings are well thought out. The egg yolk from the ramen is slightly sweet which pairs really well with the flavorful broth for example. The pork is also slightly charred to bring out the smoky flavor. The servers will happily offer forks for the chop-stick challenged, and they can helpful if you are undecided. This place is perfect for the snowy winter of MN!"

Bubble Tea House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (9)

"This is a nice place to come with friends and get a tea because they have little games set up at every table, it is so fun! I got an iced Vietnamese coffee with tapioca boba, it was sweet but still tasted like coffee. I paid around $7 for it. Service was good and there is parking outside the building."

Sweet Percent

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"I have personally tried their tea. Absolutely amazing as they are using real fruits. The restaurant is super neat and clean. I'd personally highly recommend!"
