"Wow!!! This place was incredible and we didn't feel overly stuffed when we left after lunch. My hubby had the Mediterranean Vegetable soup and shared my cashew chicken salad sandwich, it was all deliciously fresh.Our server was very attentive without being intrusive. She was amazing,Cleanliness in a restaurant is crucial to use and Good Earth was meticulously clean. It had a great vibe.It was a rainy day but I hope next time we can enjoy their gorgeous patio area for dining."
"Best cheesesteak I've had in years! Owner was amazing--service above and beyond! We had a cheesesteak, fries, their homemade BBQ sauce and the coleslaw--they did not sleep on the coleslaw, it was fantastic! Will definitely be back!"
"Great presentation on the dishes, tasty, fresh ingredients in a cute stylish space. Friendly staff. Street parking or free parking lots down the block."
"I'm obsessed.Originally came here for a takeaway latte and it was so delicious we had to come back to check out the vibe and we were not disappointed.The iced vanilla latte is absolutely delicious. I believe I heard someone saying they make their own syrups. My friends also had the hot and cold mochas and a chai - all delicious.We also shared a caramel roll - OMG, I need all of the rolls all of the time. One of the best I've ever had. Ever. The build your own breakfast sandwich was good, as was the turkey lunch sandwich, spicy breakfast sandwich and the monster cookies (flourless!) - and now I got a cinnamon roll as takeaway to try something new! (Mostly because the caramel rolls were sold out today!) The service was friendly, accommodating and inclusive. The vibe is very Portland-esque which is lovely as I miss the PDX culture. I'll be back (probably more often than I'll ever admit!)"
"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"
"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!"
"My first time buying bubble tea in Woodbury. It was great! I love the little jellies."
"Wanted to try a new bubble tea place and stumbled upon this place while doing errands.The place is very cute and has a good variety of bubble tea flavors, milk tea, green tea, smoothies, and slushies. They also have poke bowls and food as well! I tried the rose green tea and it was delicious, great flavor and not to sweet, also the cups were so cute and had elephants on them I definitely will be coming back to try more flavors"

Yelp Review: Good Earth CaféDespite its high prices, Good Earth Café is probably the least expensive dining option in the Galleria--though that's not saying much. The food is undeniably good, but they seem to cut corners in ways that are hard to overlook.For example, I ordered the bison stew, which sounded amazing on the menu. When it arrived, it was 95% vegetable stew with only two tiny chunks of bison, probably weighing about an ounce each. I brought this up with the server, who told me that's the "intended portion size." Really? At these prices, I expected more than a glorified veggie soup.We also tried the wild mushroom shepherd's pie. What we got was essentially a 3-inch stack of mashed potatoes with less than half an inch of mushrooms underneath. And the mushrooms? Hard as shoe leather. While the flavors were decent overall (minus the mushrooms), it felt like the portions and execution didn't match the price tag.Oh, and they charge an extra dollar if you want your beverage without ice. Seriously? Nickel-and-diming your customers is never a good look.Good Earth Café has potential, but the combination of corner-cutting and unnecessary upcharges left me feeling a little shortchanged.

Great vibe Plantains were amazing. Vegetarian I am and grateful they had dish's for me. Flavors fell a bit short (bland) for me on both the rice and veggies. Margaritas were delicious Cheers

I've been coming to Carma coffee for the last 5 years now and it is my all time FAV coffee spot! Not only is the coffee amazing but they have amazing breakfast and lunch and yes they have gluten free options! My go to is just a plain oat milk latte and a gluten free veggie delight and it's always so freaking delish and not only that but the staff is AMAZING. So kind, welcoming and warm.

Super thankful to have Ding Tea in the cities. They have a wider range of drinks, and especially toppings, than most places here, so if it's your first time be adventurous and try something different! My go-to is Wintermelon Milk Tea with Aloe, and it hits every time. Note that they don't do standard tapioca, but the golden boba they make in-house is a great alternative. Pro-tip: check out the posters in the hallway to see what their latest drinks are! The menu isn't updated with these, and they can be really creative. Service is quick, and the interior is serviceable for dine-in. They have a very nice photo wall as well! Definitely check out Ding if you're even a passing boba fan.

This location opens until 10 PM and it's a little more than your average tea bar. There was no line and hardly any wait time when I arrived a little after 8 PM. Services was quick and friendly. Anime and cartoon merchandise are available for browsing as you wait for your order. There are tables and chairs inside and outside to enjoy your drinks.I sat outside. The con is the tables and chairs are near the entrance without any wall so you hear every vehicle that passes by.I ordered a mango green tea with mango jellies. Tonight's drink came generously with the jelly. It's a littler sweeter than I anticipated. Now that I'm thinking about it, the darker coloring of the drink makes me wonder if I have gotten a mango drink instead. I'll have to come back and get another mango green tea drink so I can compare notes here later.

The boba drinks were really good. Next time i will be trying the poke bowl. But it somewhere hidden, but it the closest you can get in the suburban area . I would recommend trying it!

"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."
"The acai bowls are amazing!!The vibes are welcoming and laid back!!!Parking is easy and the cups have sturdy lids!!!!"
"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."
"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."
"Decided to stop being lazy on a Saturday and get lunch. We drove by this place and decided to check it out before going to eat. I ordered the berry beautiful açaí bowl and I was IMPRESSED! Honestly, I don't even like açaí bowls and really just wanted to get a cute picture of it, BUT I ate the whole thing and wanted more. It's very yummy and it actually comes with a lot of berries and fruits, unlike other places I've been to. The honey to top it all off is the icing on a cake. I really didn't expect a small town juice bar to actually be this dang good! They have a lot of different juices, smoothies, salads, wraps, and coffee! Definitely worth checking out! My only problem is that it closes at 4 on Saturdays :/ Wish it stayed open longer!"
"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."
"This place is so cute and a welcome oasis in the business district of Mankato. They have fresh squeezed juices (2 sizes), custom smoothies, smoothie bowls, and some to-go items. Prices are comparable to what you would find at a co-op or health food store in MSP. Good quality ingredients and products used (I read the label on the protein powder that I added to my bowl). The seating area is cute and has lots of small tables. They have some magazines to read and guest wifi. Clean bathroom. They also have free fruit infused water I'd be a regular for sure if I lived in town. Would be a great place to meet a friend or to go on a day date. They also have a few tables outside on the sidewalk."
"Wonderful service, good shakes and quick bites. Breakfast sausage was surprisingly spicy and no napkins included in bag though.For a drive thru only establishment you'd think they'd include a few napkins when they give you your items. I'm sure if we had asked for napkins we would have gotten them but drive-thru establishments are so grab and go that we hadn't thought about it. The drive-thru window is weirdly high up, great for trucks but for my compact car we had to reach up to grab our things, so exercise caution if you're getting a bunch of hot drinks! What we got:-their seasonal Peppermint Mocha Blender-everything bagel with egg cheese and sausage -breakfast bacon burrito with a side of salsa includedThe peppermint Mocha Blender is blended with a little ice-cream to give it a creamy consistency. It has a very smooth mouth-feel with minimal blended ice crystals compared to a Starbucks Frappuccinos. I personally like having a lot of blended ice in my coffee based frappe shakes but the mocha blender wasn't bad. The espresso coffee taste was much stronger than I had expected. My husband who is not a coffee drinker by nature loved it and didn't mind the strong coffee flavor.The everything bagel with sausage egg and cheese was very good. The everything bagel had ample amount of seeds and seasonings giving a nice strong garlic flavor. The egg was a scrambled patty that was spongy and typical for premade sandwiches. The breakfast sausage was very spicy, I found myself reaching for water more than I normally would. I would not recommend the breakfast sausage patty if you don't like spice.The breakfast burrito was a little underwhelming in appearance. I did not see or taste a lot of bacon bits in the burrito but my husband liked the salsa packet that it came with. Our bill was 17 dollars for 3 things. Everything was priced normally for this day and age. Compared to Starbucks, it was negligibly cheaper. Would recommend if on the road and in need of a quick treat. Personally, I prefer Starbucks but I can't hold that against Scooter's."
"Got the brown sugar milk tea and taro bread. The bubble tea was delicious and the pearls were perfectly chewy. This place is much better than the places that make their boba with powders.The bakery is small but offers some good flavors. I got the taro bread. The bread was fluffy and sweet. The taro filling on the sweeter side.This place has vibes that remind me of Tous Les Jours.You can order from the touchscreen kiosks or at the counter."
"Novios Cafe is Rochester's hidden gem! The best breakfast place and coffee shop in town! The caramel rolls are to die for and they have a variety of pasteries made fresh everyday! They roast their own beans and every coffee drink I've gotten has been excellent! My go to drinks are the Iced caramel macchiato and the cortado! The breakfast sausage egg and cheese biscuit sandwich is amazing as well! They serve lunch and dinner too and you can get breakfast all day! The staff is always friendly! My favorite spot in Rochester for any meal of the day!!"
"My daughter and I had a beautiful dining experience in Albertville Minnesota!! We enjoyed our coffee and blueberry muffin!! Highly recommend it!!!"
"Really cute place, came here during lunch and got the Ube Taro Vietnamese Coffee, a box of Balkava and some brown sugar boba milk mochi. The Coffee was absolutely delicious and cute looking, the baklava was pretty good and nutty! I honestly didn't really like the mochi but it wasn't too much of a loss due to it only being like 90cents each. Overall the employee was really sweet and nice, making sure my order was the way I wanted and it came out super quickly!"
