I do like the fact that they will use black or green tea with any of their drinks. I'm not a green tea fan, so that's an important option for me. I got a black fruit tea with pineapple and passion fruit with strawberry popping bobas. The tea had a perfect blend of flavors and the boba was cooked just right. We also got a cookies and cream smoothie with tapioca. My son said it was the best one he's had! He also got a banh mi. He said it was good, but not great. The pork could have been more flavorful and it needed more cilantro. Overall, I recommend this place! Give them a try!

This was our second time trying the West St. Paul location. The only reason we even gave it another…read moretry is because the Woodbury location closes at 8pm, and this one stays open an hour later. We walked in and the young lady behind the counter was friendly, but just like the first time no strawberries for the Berry Splash Snow Biing. That's two times now, same issue. What really frustrated me though was trying to call ahead before making the trip, only to find out their phone number is disconnected. When I asked about it in person, I was told their phone just doesn't work anymore. It's hard to serve customers if they can't even reach you. In the end, it was another wasted trip, and my very last.

Can't think of the last time I'd seen that. My go-to order is the overflowing grapefruit, half sweet, light ice and I add strawberry. It's the perfect balance of sweet, tangy and refreshing. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by! I usually swing by after shopping at Fresh Thyme.

(The jasmine apple green tea with basil seeds is divine) There's a lot of variety and plenty of options to personalize (sweetness level, toppings, etc). There's kiosks to order and pay for a quick stop. I love their $3.50 daily specials that they rotate monthly! For a bubble tea place, they're surprisingly affordable! I call it a win when I don't have to pay over $9. The workers there have been kind and helpful with recommendations. Seating is limited, so maybe grab a drink and walk the neighborhood or pop into Fresh Thyme for a grocery run.

There is a self-order kiosk or you can order at the counter. Food was mid in all honesty. The Strawberry Matcha Ice Cream was probably one of the biggest misses I have ever had. It is vanilla ice cream with strawberry jam at the bottom, and whisked matcha (still warm!) on TOP of the ice cream, making it a major spill hazard. This was pretty disappointing since we were expecting actual matcha ice cream (and maybe it was wrong of us to assume so). I wish the kiosk had images of the items for ordering though...didn't seem like there were any and you just had to hope that what you're getting sounds intriguing enough just by the name. Boba Ice Cream (brown sugar syrup) was okay. The brown sugar syrup was what was saving the entire thing. It's aesthetically cute, but it doesn't wow me. Def a cute spot, but it's only Instagrammable foods. Not worth for the taste though :(

We got the 6 for $18 variety box: fruity pebbles, churro, taro, circus cookie, strawberry, matcha. My favorite was the fruity pebbles and matcha. Fruity pebble had the perfect light crunch as a topping and the vanilla glaze wasn't overly sweet. With the matcha it wasn't too strong of a flavor which I like and prefer. It had the right amount of matcha flavor. Taro was good but the flavor was quite mild. Wish it was more taro forward. You can never go wrong with churro flavor as it's just sugar and cinnamon. It is a safe pick. Circus cookie did not remind me of the glazed circus cookies at all. Not bad and not overly sweet but definitely not reminiscent of glazed circus cookies. The strawberry was something. There is this top layer of strawberry dust which was overly sweet but it did taste like strawberry. If you're looking for something sweet and tart then this is for you. As for the texture, I love that the mochi donut was very light, airy but still had that chewy mochi texture you're looking for, but not overly chewy. I also love how they're ball shaped donuts so it's very easy to share and try all of them without having to take bites from it. You do have to order from the kiosk so it may take a minute to order especially on a busy day. Though when I went it was quite busy, the workers did a great job getting the drinks and orders out in a timely manner.

It was quite busy when I was waiting to order and waiting for my drink.
