    Super cool space with gaming nostalgia to it! There's quite a few rooms with bean bags and also a nice patio. The staff were super kind and helpful. I got the tiger ube and it was pretty good overall, the boba could be a bit better, a few pieces could be a bit softer. My partner got the cold brew boba latte and said that his boba pearls were better and soft and the drink could be a bit sweeter, but overall good. Definitely Instagram worthy!

    Super casual place with so much seating and a huge selection on the menu! We saw a sign pointing towards Matt's basement that advertised coffee and hot chocolate. We were walking around Stillwater at 6pm so a lot of the other coffee shops were already closed. It was pretty quiet and we ordered quickly. They mentioned opening a couple months ago and plan to host several events that they post about on their instagram. I got a hot chocolate and we all shared their chili. Both were great! We stayed for a bit and played uno, but they have several other games you can use during your time there. The seating was so comfy and really felt like a "basement" hangout spot. I'm glad we ran into Matt's Basement and hope to come back soon!

    What an incredible addition to downtown Stillwater! I stopped in for dessert after my birthday dinner and I was not disappointed. The owner, Matt, is so nice and helpful, and the chef, Ruby, is exceptional. We got three waffles - two Strawberries and Cream and one Traditional Boba Waffle - and two Strawberry Fields bobas. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it all was. The boba waffle was primarily mine, and the boba was fresh and flavorful, the waffle somehow crisp and pillowy, and the whipped cream and drizzle the perfect topping for it all. I also snuck a bite of the strawberry waffle, and wow, what a flavor explosion! The strawberry syrup was so delicious, and it had a drizzle of what looked like sweetened condensed milk. My mouth is watering just writing about it. The boba tea was so dang good. I honestly think this is the best boba I've had, and I've been to a lot of places. The seating is plentiful and varied. The beanbags are so soft! And, though we didn't have time to try it, the gaming is such a nice touch. I can't wait to come back to try my hand at N64 Duck Hunt. Prices are great. Atmosphere is great. Location is great. This is such a gem. Thanks to Matt for opening what is my new favorite place!

    Matt's Basement is a nice addition to Stillwater! I'm so happy that there's boba tea in the area now. The drinks are delicious and the addition of real fruit in the drinks make them special. The shop is cute with plenty to places to hang out and chill. There are ample spots to get cozy and stay a while. Ample seating on the patio as well. Service is amazing, answered all of my questions. I will definitely revisit when I am in the area.

    The vibe here is pretty cool. I had the Tiger Ube with boba pearls and the flavor was super flavorful and tasty. Very vibrant colors! Service was great! Very helpful with questions that I had, also very personable. Definitely a must stop when in Stillwater, MN.

    Came for dessert and was blown away how delicious the boba tea and waffles are.  Thanks guys great customer service also.

    Wow! Stumbled across Matt's basement tonight. We were looking for some dessert and this is a must stop. We tried the strawberry and chocolate chip waffles and they are fantastic. The kids got bubble tea as well which was delicious. You won't be disappointed if you swing into Matt's basement.

    Love this social place: pac man, piano, comfortable sofa, meeting room , and more. Plus boba tea!

    Strawberries and cream bubble waffle to-go!  Wish I had time to eat inside!  So cozy!

    Food, service, ambiance, this place has it all. The owner Matt is an incredibly cool guy too. Go here now! Highly recommend the popping boba teas and the strawberries and cream bubble waffle is to die for!

    Boba and place is nice. We waited 20 mins for boba tea when no one else ordered before or after us. Not sure what the wait was.

I want to start with the ambiance, because it really caught my eye upon arrival. First, there's a cute cardboard cherry blossom tree for great photo opportunities. Plus there are multiple shelves with items being sold. There are labubus, capybaras tumblers and many more adorable things. I had to fight the urge to buy them all! I ordered a bubble milk tea with light ice. Once I got the drink, I felt bad to even poke it open because of the beautiful design on it. It was vibrant and colorful, giving off the perfect spring vibe. After reluctantly stabbing it open, my tongue was met with a cold sweet milk tea and warm tapioca pearls. The temperatures contrasted perfectly, making it even more enjoyable. The staff were so kind. Multiple people greeted me upon arrival, and the person who took my order was super sweet and explained the difference between two drinks I was confused about. I really appreciated their patience for me. Overall it was a fantastic first experience and I hope to return here again soon!

    Cutest little boba spot in Apple Valley!…read more It is a summer must for those hot days. Vivi has its own set of unique flavors that I can appreciate. I like to steer away from typical flavors and try new things and Vivi delivers. Sorry I don't have pics of my order but we got the tiramisu milk tea with boba, mango palmelo sago and taro crème brûlée. All really good. The staff is really friendly, patient ( anyone who orders bubble tea knows patience is a virtue) ordering bubble tea is so unique to a person it just takes time. The staff members have great recommendations and also kindly showed me their snack section where I of course made a separate purchase of the VIRAL butter chips and a few more different flavored chips. I feel anyone with young kids or teenagers will enjoy this spot together. Happy Sipping!

If you like to slurp decadent, milky tea concoctions with gushy pearls up a thick straw, this place has you covered. As I was trying to choose from their plentiful offerings, a guy was on his way out with an armload of what I learned were the Soha's Tiger Milky which he knowingly and passionately recommended to me. I went with it and was not in the slightest bit disappointed. That's exactly the kind of dessert drink I was hoping for, and the size of it for that price makes it a great deal. I also got a cream cheese danish which had a really satisfactory amount of cream cheese. But there are tons of other things on this menu I want to try. They make their own Dubai chocolate and baklava, and they do açaí bowls, Vietnamese coffee, matcha, and a variety of smoothies and lemonades. Everything is priced much more reasonably than what I see in the cities. The dining area is clean, tidy, uncrowded, and pleasantly decorated for a strip mall space, and the barista was really friendly and helpful. They are available on Uber Eats and Doordash so you can order ahead or send out for them. They are open every day until at least 6pm (7pm on Saturday and Sunday). Tons of reasons for you to try some of their stuff!

She couldn't wait to take her tante (me) and Grammy (my mom) to her fave boba tea place when we were visiting the Twin Cities...and we're so glad she did. It's a cute place in a strip mall, on the border of Hugo and Lino Lakes. There's a huge menu and I was super intrigued with the milk tea options and the matcha, but my niece wanted us all to get slushies-so, of course, I did. I settled on the strawberry kiwi which was good, but sweet. Mom got the watermelon and it was really, really good. There's ample parking. The servers are nice. I look forward to more visits with my niece. She's got great taste!

It was pretty loud indoors due to it being packed, so we kind of wished we could have grabbed a table outside; their patio area was adorable! Our server Karey was a superstar: friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable regarding the menu options. My mom said her eggs Benedict was the best she's had in quite some time. My sausage scrambler was loaded with sausage, mushrooms, peppers, cheese and green onions and it was very filling. My only gripe was when I looked at the receipt after we left and saw it cost $7.90 for two cups of coffee.

Heard great things about this restaurant so my girlfriend and I had to check it out. A bit busy (which is a good sign), but the 5 minute wait wasn't too long. Many good options to explore, but I just had to check out their country fried chicken. Main star was the gravy; it was delicious, seasoned well, and was filling. The hash browns were crispy and cooked well. The steak itself was good, a little dry personally. The crust could use more "crunch." Even when sauced, the underlying crust of country fried chicken should maintain some structural integrity rather than being soggy. Nevertheless, I was satisfied. Be sure to check this place out. Would love to try the other items offered on the menu.
