    This is our go-to for boba when we visit Omaha. Our family visits so often the staff know their order. The drinks are always amazing and the staff is friendly and efficient. Its central downtown location makes this an easy place to grab a boba and snack.

    P1. Strawberry
    Olyvia K.

    I have been coming to Thirst-Tea for years and always get the P1- Strawberry! It is so so so good! My boyfriend also loved it. It is strawberry with strawberry popping boba. I have also come here throughout the years with friends, and they are normally very fast even when it is very busy! The place isn't very big, so there isn't much seating. I normally always go grab it and then walk around Midtown/downtown. They have tons of drinks options and they are willing to give suggestions if you are unsure of what you want to get or would like! I really love Thirst-Tea and will definitely continue to keep coming! If you want some amazing boba tea in Omaha this is a great place to go to. You won't regret it!

    Always a delicious experience. Today we stuck with just a snack after school. I got a Yoshi onigiri (kani/crab and seaweed) for the first time. My go to is usually the kimchi one. This was a pleasant alternative and definitely will get again. My youngest got the seaweed onigiri and enjoys the kick from the house sauce that comes with each one. My oldest decided on the avocado onigiri today. It did its job convincing him something different is actually wonderful sometimes and converted him into an onigiri lover even asking for a second one. Prices are decent for what they offer. The vibe is always chill when we come even when they had a line out the door. Today was a small crowd of just us as the previous customers left. They did open up their indoor seating which was closed down and dismantled last time we came in so we got to enjoy eating in. I will say there was a weird odor in the building today not typical to our visits. However that won't deter us from coming back.

    Yummy and fast drinks. Love the view of downtown, as well. I recommend the Tiger Milk.

    All the guys in Omaha are really really thirsty, but all the girls avoid them by hanging out at Thirst Tea! Now this was not my FIRST TEA It's deffo not the WORST TEA And once I was IMMERSED TEA I really enjoyed THIRST TEA Sometimes I think I'm CURSED TEA My Bubble (tea) has BURST TEA And all my dreams DISPERSED TEA At least I still have THIRST TEA It's not limp like FRED DURST TEA Not big like my BRATWURST TEA And I got dragged here, was COERCED TEA But I still enjoyed THIRST TEA I came in here on a Wednesday morning... no, it was the day after. It was a Thirstea morning. Pretty nice and spacious bubble tea shop located on the wonderful and gorgeous west end of the lovely Midtown Crossing circle west of downtown Omaha. The products aren't amazing but they are pretty good and there's lots of cute customers and various different interesting menu choices. It's a good Boba shop and I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to bringing Barbie Here and exploring to see if they are more towards the five or more towards a 4-star, as I was torn between these two ratings. But because it is in Omaha I will give them five stars. Because it's really not got a lot of great options around here so it's good that they are of a pretty good standard I know you've probably been to like Thirstea thousand other boba places, but this one is worth your time!

    Coconut Milk Tea with Boba
    Chad C.

    My favorite spot in Omaha for bubble tea! Whatever you are looking for in terms of bubble milk tea, they will have it. There are two locations, but I can only speak for this location....it is always friendly, quick, and never out of boba. Thirst Tea has quickly become my favorite for bubble tea for one main reason... consistency. I have never been here and been disappointed by being out of boba, or sub-par quality. Some of the other bubble milk tea shops around Omaha are great, but are often out of boba, certain flavors, but never Thirst Tea! Thirst Tea offers all the flavors (coconut, taro, lavender, strawberry, mango...etc) plus so many specialty flavors (too many to list!).

    Passion Fruit, Chai, Milk tea

    Went to thirsttea quick between classes! We were in and out in less than 10 minutes. My friends enjoyed the milk tea with boba, chai tea with boba and passion fruit with boba. I thought my boba was a little over cooked, a little mushy!All were good, quick service, friendly staff, many options. They have more than their staple drinks too with a few appetizers, I will have to try next time!

    My buddy and I are boba lovers and we normally enjoy it at least once a week. So it was natural that during our brief visit to Omaha that we would stop by and grab one to go before heading back to Chicago on our road trip. This spot is huge and clean. It looks like a great place for folks to come and study when other coffee shops become too packed to accommodate them. There were four people working in the back taking our orders and making our drinks. We honestly had our reservations given that this is Nebraska. But Thirst-Tea blew us away with its quality tea and chewy boba. I was a huge fan of their Oolong Milk Tea as it had the a great mix of both without being too sugary. The boba was very soft, and depending on your preference, can really be a good thing. Even after 30 minutes of getting my drink, it was still good! I love it when a boba drink is made well and can last long since it takes me a bit to drink. If I am ever back in Omaha, I will definitely make it a point to drop by this spot again.

    Went here around 1pm on a Sunday. There were 2 other groups in front of us. The service was quick. Decent vibe. It prob didn't help that the seating was basically non-existent (thanks to covid I'm sure). Both drinks with tax was under $10. I got the large D5 which is a dark lychee with aloe jelly. The dark is with black tea. A light would be with green tea. My bf got the M5 which is a regular size milky taro with boba. Both were really good. His milky taro with boba was particularly excellent. Side note: we both normally get 50-75% sweetness but both got regular sugar this time. It was NOT overly sweet like some places. We will definitely go back.

    Quaint little tea shop sharing the building with a couple other small businesses it seems. At least…read morethree in the one suite. Downtown Papillion is where they are; parking is free but scarce and scattered during busy times for the whole strip. When you walk in there is artwork along both walls of the hall for sale. To the left is entrance to Mama Winky's, the right is the tea and seating, and straight from the entrance is the Gachapon that opened today. Service is fast and friendly. They bring your drink(s) to you when they're done. I got the Smarty McFly with rainbow mochi bobas. It's good but not something I would order again just because the flavor didn't match my tastebuds well. The rainbow mochi is something I haven't seen before and was very tasty. My boy got classic boba with rainbow mochi and almond milk. I tasted it and would describe it as cake batter in essence. Will definitely be back for a different flavor soon!

I wasn't quite expecting the split-entry way, but it was reminiscent of many shops crammed into small "main street america" experiences we've had before, and it was a fun piece of nostalgia. The tea shop has a large offering of teas - iced, hot, caffeinated, herbal, boba, traditional, etc. We took a few minutes to browse before settling in a blue mango tea - iced, please! The tea was a refreshing pick me up on a summer day, and I'd recommend that one in the future. The workers were available to help and offer additional support. The space was more of an eclectic feel than other Omaha Metro tea stores - it felt like a set with the 3/4 height walls, and living room "art" from local artists, but they also had signs for game nights and a small selection of anime related goods. Overall, it was a cozy spot to sit for a minute or grab a pick me up before exploring the rest of papillion.

The flavors are supposed to mimic the Sonic flavors, but they're kinda bland/flat. I was really looking forward to the coconut flavor of the ocean water, but it wasn't strongly present; neither was the blue raspberry flavor. The cherry limeade presented both cherry and lime flavors, but they were weak/watery, and left a chemically taste in the mouth afterward. Both drinks had the overly strong taste and mouthfeel of artificial sweetener, with that bitter flavor at the end, too. I think the fizz is produced by chemical reaction rather than actual carbonated water, though, because the ocean water wasn't very fizzy and the drink was chalky, just like the magnesium powder you can add to regular water does. It tasted like that, too, in fact--more like the citrus flavor of a magnesium citrate supplement drink mix than the coconut-blue raspberry of a Sonic ocean water. The peanut butter protein balls were pretty good for a mid-day snack, though: you can taste the protein powder, peanut butter, and honey. Not bad. The mini Reese's Pieces were a little treat on top. I might be back to try the shakes, but I wasn't blown away by my first meeting with Nutrition 402.
