    Bubble tea
    Divija G.

    Good bubble tea--refreshing, flavorful, and just the right sweetness. Definitely worth a try!

    Best bubble tea mural ever!
    Stephanie A.

    Woot! So glad to find this sister location for the spot I already knew in Midtown. They will gladly switch around flavors/boba from what is listed on the menu, so I was pleased to wind up with a peach black tea with traditional boba and it was lovely. I suspect most people get their food to go, but there is seating available and a terrific boba tea mural ??!! on the west wall.

    For a midwest boba cafe, it's alright. I really like jasmine milk teas, so I'm always searching for it at bubble tea places. Normally, I wouldn't stop by to get a milk tea, but my boyfriend and I happened to find $15 dollars on the ground while we were loading up groceries. We got two drinks for $10.20, so the price isn't terrible, but it is still considered a treat.

    This place is awesome! Hidden in an older little strip mall area, this really is one of those hidden gems you hear about! The place quickly filled up with a big line after we had arrived. Which seemed like a great sign! Had a cool mural on their wall which is a big eye catcher as soon as you walk in! Decently priced and well worth the small wait! I had a Chai Tea with boba and it was like tasting a craft store in a cup! Amazing!

    My daughter loves boba and has been looking for a place in Omaha or Lincoln to try onigiri, so we were so excited to try out thirst tea! I love that it's easy to get to with plenty of parking. There was lots of available tables and seating when we walked in at lunchtime. The drink menu is extensive and they had our favorites (taro milk tea with boba, and strawberry milky with boba). I really liked that there were two different sizes of boba - a lot of places only have one large size. For the onigiri we ordered the yoshi, spam, and shrimp tempura. My daughter liked the shrimp tempura the best, and I liked the spam. They come nicely wrapped up so they would be perfect to take in a lunchbox if you're not eating there. They also come with a side of sauce that is slightly spicy (it was too spicy for my daughter but I loved it). While we were there we also ordered some edamame and soft serve ice cream. The ice cream comes in a cup or cone and they have several toppings to choose from. My 4 year old got a taro and coconut swirl in a cup with Oreos and strawberry pocky. I loved the flavor of the ice cream, and can't wait to try a charcoal and matcha swirl next time!

    Stopped in for some boba chai tea today. Service was good, fast and the chai bobba was very tasty. Been to the midtown location but today was my first time here on 76 and Dodge. Was all good.

    This is the second thirst tea location to open in Omaha (the first one is in Midtown Crossing). The location is right next to the Asian Market, which is both smart of them and convenient to all of us. With this addition and Meisu Cafe next door, I am hoping the whole area turns into a little Asiatown. Wouldn't that be so cool?? This Thirst Tea has easy and free parking, but weird that the different locations have different availability for the menu. This location has soft serve, but no traditional teas. Apparently Midtown has the opposite. I feel that if an item is not served at the location, it should not be on the menu. Also, with competitors yumchaa and kungfu tea within a 5-10 min drive, its tough to love them as much as I used to when they were the only option. I think in order for them to stay popular they should really consider adding "sugar customization" to their drinks. I'm still a fan, but I would like to see some improvements and growth for this awesome tea franchise.

    Tiger Milk Boba

    Definitely our new favorite Boba place in town! We live in Elkhorn so we rarely make the drive East especially if it's just for drinks. After having Thirst Tea, we will definitely be making the drive to get the Boba here. Came in on a Saturday afternoon at 3 and even at that time there was a steady stream of traffic. They whip up Boba faster than any place we've previously been (in all fairness, only 3 other places). It's obvious they have a system and run like a well oiled machine. My girls got a mix of mango slushy bobas, dragon fruit tea boba, and I got the Tiger Milk boba. All the flavors were great, however, our unanimous favorite was the Tiger Milk Boba. I've had it in different places and states and it's honestly the right mix of sweet, flavor, and bubbles here. I think my girls wished they would've gotten the same thing :) Only drawback was the food came out significantly later than the bobas which is understandable, however, we didn't care for the chicken wings. Would've liked them MUCH crispier. Eggs rolls were fine too. I would say stick to the Boba if you come here. You can for sure expect me and my crew to be back!

    I tried the ice cream and really enoyed it (got the Charcoal and the Thai Iced Tea). I think would be cool if they offered a "small" size as the cheapest entry point is $5 for ice cream (I think). If I'm in the area, I would come back.

    After catching dinner nearby, I decided to have a dessert tea at this location. Thirst Tea Cafe does not allow for inside seating, you approach the front counter, look at the hot or cold drinks, and make your choice. I went with U8: Bruce Lee with lychee. It's dark with a passion fruit taste that allows smal pieces of lychee to float into your mouth and creates an enjoyable after meal liquid fruit that isn't overly sweet. I noticed snack food is available to order besides the drinks and ice cream. It's similar to the Kung Fu tea down 72nd and Pacific but more to offer in variety in my opinion. Overall, a good stop on a week night in Midtown Omaha.

    Vanilla charcoal soft serve with matcha pocky & oreo crumb

    So excited that they finally opened..., been dying waiting for them to open since last year :D Love it too that I don't have to walk too much to get to them like at the Midtown location, which is really helpful in extreme weather conditions or when you have kids. They also have a graffiti art work on one of their walls which pretty cool (according to my son :)). Menu wise, they have all of the drinks and snacks that they serve in the Midtown location with additional soft serve ice cream which they don't have there. We tried the vanilla charcoal flavor with red velvet cone and we are not disappointed, it was gone within 5 minutes... However I must say $7.13 (after tax with $0.50 extra for additional topping) is kinda pricey for a dessert. They are definitely going to be my new go to location for sure as I know that they have good bubble teas and they close to my house too :).

    The tea was great and our order was ready very quickly! It feels like a newer business but I'm sure they will grow into their space!

    Food was great. Service was awful. Probably won't be back. Kind of a bummer. The tea is good. Food is good. Bad service.

    I've been coming here for decades since I was a kid. I've tried a lot of the flavors, but the…read moreflavor of their hot caramel melting through their vanilla bean ice cream absolutely cannot be topped! This has been and always will be my absolute favorite ice cream treat that I've ever tasted. The caramel is served hot, which slightly melts the ice cream for a perfect texture. The flavor of the caramel is very clearly homemade in the best way! The ice cream itself is also purely homemade, made from heavy cream that coats your mouth in the best way. This is truly the best sweet treat you can find, and a must try for any anyone else who is a fan of caramel!!
