I wanted to try Che & Cafe after seeing all the hype on social media, especially because of how unique their drinks are! We tried the Taro Sago, Matcha Crème Brûlée, and Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie. Everything ended up tasting delicious and I really liked the amount of toppings, although it did feel like a lot by the end. The Taro Sago could've had more ube flavor, and the Matcha Crème Brûlée was decent and the croffle addition was definitely a nice touch! The Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie had good flavor, but the sticky rice was pretty hard and made for a lot of chewing. I also wanted a little more mango. It was definitely on the pricier side for a cafe, but the portions and toppings make it understandable. Since they had just opened, it was pretty crowded, but service was still quick and the ambiance was cute and inviting. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu since there are SO many unique drinks to choose from! read more

Stopped in after seeing they a banana pudding matcha. The line was pretty long and they had kiosk ordering only at the time. With how large the menu is and so many types of customizations the line took forever. Probably needs 1 more kiosk or reduce the menu down a bit. I ended up getting a sakura strawberry cream croffle and the banana pudding matcha. Both were good. I'd definitely like to come back to try the dessert drinks but not sure I can do the 1 kiosk ordering thing again if it's busy. Also the screen was really gross with all the figure prints. Should have a sanitizer post next to the kiosk. It is a really cute and cozy cafe. Despite the road work going on in the area it is pretty easy to get to and there's plenty of street parking. read more

The Mango Sticky Rice drink is hands down my favorite in the area! I won a complimentary drink during their grand opening, and I'm very happy to have given this place a try! It comes with a scoop of mango ice cream on top, fresh mango chunks, and sticky rice at the bottom. Every sip you get a little bit of everything. The coconut flavor from the rice at the bottom along with mango from the smoothie and ice cream. The only downside is the parking. It's mostly street parking with very limited spots nearby, so finding a place can be a little frustrating. They also take a while to make the drinks since they're usually busy whenever I go, but the wait is definitely worth it! I'd happily come back again for that Mango Sticky Rice drink! read more

Wow is this place packed to the max & well worth the 10-15 min wait! This time I got the Mango smoothie sticky rice (mango smoothie, mango ice cream scoop, fresh mango cubes on top of a layer of sweet sticky rice. I saw everyone order it last time so I had to give this a try. It was absolutely delicious. This will be my go to smoothie drink. If you like mangoes and sticky rice, this is the perfect smoothie. All the drinks are one size but you can upgrade to a large, it's only $1.50 more. That's a great deal. You can order at the register or at the kiosk. There is no parking lot. Street parking o my & gets really busy during lunch / dinner times with all the restaurants nearby. read more

This place took over the old Bambu... it has remnants of the old Bambu menu but also more extensive matcha and coffee menu. My friend and I loved the desserts we got - Sticky mango rice smoothie and Avocado paradise. Both were perfect sweetness and had a great balance of toppings. Took off one star due to the wait here. They only have one ordering kiosk... which causes a long line. It is also frustrating that people aren't deciding what they want while they are waiting to use the kiosk - maybe offering paper menus would help with that? A lot of the delay is the singular kiosk and people dilly-dallying once it is their turn on the kiosk. Once you order though, your dessert comes pretty fast. read more

We ordered using the kiosk, which was quick and easy. The space is on the smaller side and fills up fast, so we ended up taking our drinks to go. It was pretty busy when we visited, so there was a bit of a wait for our drinks, but the woman who handed us our order was very kind. She apologized for the wait and thanked us for our patience, mentioning that it usually doesn't take that long. I ordered the mango sticky rice smoothie, and wow, it was so good! It wasn't overly sweet, and I loved that there was actual sticky rice at the bottom. I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The flavor was unique, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. I've already told my husband that I want to go back because I could seriously drink this smoothie every day. Highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Ordered a Matcha Banana Pudding at 25%. It was still pretty good but sweeter than what expected. Used to be bambu which looks like they still have some of the drinks they used to carry. I'll have to come back and try more. read more

I saw social media posts about this place and decided my boyfriend and I needed to go ASAP. I love matcha and love a place that offers a bunch of fun flavors! We got there and it was VERY busy but it also was still considered their soft opening I think. The space is quite small but it was clean and well decorated. The had a little stands with different asian snacks which I thought was fun. The menu is pretty big but, I decided to get the banana matcha & my boyfriend got a pandan Viet coffee that came with a little waffle. The wait was a little longer because it was so busy but not horrific. We finally got our drinks and my boyfriend ate his waffle which he said was good but, just a waffle. As for the drinks, my boyfriend enjoyed his coffee and said it was good! The matcha was really good but it was more so a dessert than a matcha. I drank it incredibly and strangely fast and realized how much ice and toppings were in the cup. I think they definitely could do with a little less so you get more of the actual drink because for the kind of expensive price, that was simply not enough of the actual drink. It was also extremely sweet which was pretty expected, but the matcha itself was lost completely flavor wise. I want to come here and try the desserts instead of the matches! read more

The service was quick and everyone was really nice. It's a cute little shop and perfect if you want to sit down to work. The drinks was amazing and if you like tricolors, I highly recommend getting the house special. It's a great dessert to eat and has a little bit of everything in it. Me personally, I just like weird food combos. read more

I was coming here before the swap over when it was Bambu and I'm happy to say that I really enjoy the soft opening. I came during the lunch hours so it wasn't overrun with people. The staff and owners are still the same people who are sweet and kind. Of course parking in the Eat Street area is always challenging. I got the Coco Island because it was similar to something I liked on the old menu, they gave me more grass jelly and I loved that! The Mango Sticky Rice though! 10/10! I would definitely come back for it again! For some reason I didn't think it through and tried to drink it with a straw and forgot that the sticky rice will get stuck, so recommended to use a spoon. Overall, I think the change is good and I'm excited to try the new drinks on the menu! read more

This is one of the few places that offer Vietnamese dessert drinks in MN and when they were Bambu I love coming here for their pandan waffles and desserts. Now that they have changed name and is no longer under Bambu, it seems their stuff opening week is going slow since waiting time is over 30 minutes to order and get your order total. I like that they have now added the self order station. Most of the menu items are the same with different names. It seems their most popular dessert drink order when we were there was Mango Sticky rice. Will have to come back to give it a try. They set up in the dining area is a little more crowded than before so more space to sit with comfy chairs but not a lot of moving room throughout the space. My Coco Island dessert drink was great. They didn't have strawberries as part of their toppings for the waffles but my daughter still enjoyed her waffle with vanilla ice cream. The pandan is less sweet this time. Prices are a little higher but it's read more

I went in today for breakfast. I was with a party of six. We were seated and took our orders. I noticed tables seated after us and orders placed after us were served before us. I got up and went asked the waitress that tables seated and orders that were placed after us were receiving their meals prior to our and was wondering if our orders were placed. She stated " smaller order are served before a larger order. So, if you are going with more than one person I would suggest you rethink if you want to eat there as you are less important or your time don't matter or seems you are less hungry than the party of two because you came with several people. No consideration that maybe I agreed to breakfast at later time for my party. I am just as hungry and just as valuable as your party of two. I did express my opinion it is not fair and should not be punished because I came with several people and not right. She then a tex. Like she had the right to be upset by my feelings of how I was being treated less than because I came to breakfast with more than one person. Don't claim to be a family restaurant when you only respect a table of 2 that not a family restaurant. read more

Really delicious. The mango sticky rice drink is the way to go but there's a lot of fun things to try. Be warned that the wait times can be a bit long though. read more

Love this place but I wish the sticky rice in the mango sticky rice drink had a more coconut sweet flavor. Instead it has little to no flavor and kind of throws the whole drink away. read more

Got there at 6:45 waited in line for 10min and the person at the register told another worker to turn off the open sign, mind you they close at 8. They're very busy and people are waiting for over an hour just for one drink. Anyways I was next in line and the worker just stops taking orders,so I go ask if they're still taking orders and she says no. How unprofessional like at least tell the people that's waiting in line!! Making me wait like a dummy smh. They need to keep up with their demand or they'll lose business. Always loved this place but they're always so slow. Can't do business if you're slow. Hope they do better next time read more

Place is small, services is way slow! the drink was ok, but not worth the wait, Also way expensive!
