    Love the daily specials they have each month! Prices are affordable compared to other places around UMN. Space is slightly small, but seating has been always available for me.

    The daily special,  there's a list of daily special drinks on the counter or on social media

    We were craving some bubble tea and noticed a store nearby. This store is kind of hard for parking, they face a busy street. We parked down the street and walked there. They have a daily special price for certain drinks $3.49, limit 1 drinks per person until they run out. The drink changes daily. Cute store and clean cafe. Has few tables and chairs to dine in. They also offer desserts- individual cakes. They specialize in tea, so some drinks will taste more like tea and not sweet like other Boba teas from other stores. My daughter ordered the lychee oolong tea which was perfectly sweet. However the thai tea was not. They added more sweetener into my drink until I said perfect. They girls were nice and added more to my liking.

    Another afternoon boba adventure. Tried this Feng Cha. This dirty boba (brown sugar boba) is tasty. I like their passion fruit with lemon drink; it quenched my thirst. If you go to this joint, do park at Fresh Thyme parking lot and walk around the building to enter Feng Cha (which is facing University Ave (it's a free parking).

    This was my first time and definitely not my last either. Drink: 4/5 I ordered the small classic milk tea which was milky, sweet, just perfect for me. The boba was the perfect texture too! My husband ordered the kiwi basil green tea. Again, perfect for him. I do appreciate the strong green tea, they didn't cut corner on that. Service: 3/5 It was slow Sunday morning and so I was surprised at the wait for our drinks. Took almost 10-15 minutes for the friendly staff to make it. Ambiance: 3/5 Super small and chic shop with 4-5 tables and chairs. We didn't dine in so no idea how comfy the chairs were.

    A cute little boba shop right off the metro green line & next to fresh thyme! They used to be located in Dinkytown but recently relocated! Relocated or not, their drinks are still tasty and they're still busy. I got the Kiwi Basil Green tea ($5.50) and I am super happy to say that you can really taste the tea quality! One of the key things to look for in boba drinks is the tea flavor and quality and they nailed those. They also have a large variety of traditional boba drinks (like milk tea, thai tea, taro, etc.) but also unique ones which I will be back to try! The pricing is pretty standard, not too pricey not too expensive. And the place is a little smaller. Only a few tables so I wouldn't plan to hang out in here. Definitely one of the higher ranked boba places I've had in the Twin Cities!

    Feng cha will be one of the boba places I will always go to if I ever want any boba near by. I have gone to feng cha more than I can count. Feng cha menu is small but does have a lot of options with a cheese foam. Feng cha dirty boba strawberry is good. The inside is small, but it has room for you to sit and study (before covid). Feng cha thai tea is always good and nothing can go wrong with that. I got the fruit tea there and it always satisfied my taste bud.

    I'm familiar with the Feng Cha brand but haven't been to one in person. I came with my partner shortly after they opened up, and we were helped right away. We were the only ones in there, and the girl behind the counter was friendly and shared the paper version of their menu with us where they have the 10 most popular drinks and the regular menu with all of their drinks from pure tea to milk tea to drinks with cheese foam etc. She did misunderstand my order, which is probably also my fault for not telling her that I wanted the boba that's included in my drink and that I wanted to pay for the pudding ingredient on top of the boba already in my drink. She thought I wanted pudding instead. She was really friendly when I told her, she gave me a scoop of the tapioca separately, where I ended up loving in my drink. I was able to put the tapioca in myself after removing the lid, taking a few sips to make room for it. She also honored my partner's request for the breeze drink to be made without cheese foam. The quality of the tea is high and reminds me of TeAmo back in Chicago, and I also love how high quality the cup is and is definitely something I notice as I needed to remove the sticker lid. Their tapioca was super fresh, chewy, and had the perfect amount of brown sugar marinating it. While the tea is high quality and the service is great, I prefer the traditional boba shops. However, it is a place that I will recommend to others as they have something for everyone and a place I would return to when I'm in the area next.

    Newest bubble tea place in Prospect Park. The establishment is super clean and welcoming. Loved the seating area. Super cute for a date. The staff was very nice and helpful. Plenty of tea options for beginners.

    Thai tea with the cheese milk foam. Tea = 2.5/5. Foam = 4/5
    Emily Z.

    3.5 stars if I could... I usually go for Thai Tea or black milk tea wherever I go, and both were underwhelming here. Lack of flavor for sure. However, the "cheese" milk foam was the best... I love cheese milk foam and have been looking for it all over the cities. I'm so glad this place serves it, as well as salted foam. I wish I could've just had a whole cup of that because it was the star of both drinks I got. However, I think the $1.50 to add it is a little steep... In my experience, I've seen $0.75 to add it so this is DOUBLE the amount for the same amount of foam. Granted, it is tasty and I did pay for it (twice, ugh) but still... Should be cheaper. Especially when the drinks start off kind of high already. It would be so easy to get a drink that's $6 or more here with a topping and a foam. Kind of not worth it when the tea is mediocre. Try it if you want the foam, but go to other places for their tea.

    Large peach oolong tea with double matcha cheese foam and boba!
    Steph T.

    I admit it... I'm addicted to this place! I've been coming here almost everyday for weeks now! The matcha cheese foam is simply divine!!! I've tried many flavors but my favorite would have to be the peach oolong tea! You must get the matcha cheese foam... it's one of the best tasting dessert toppings I've had to date. The service is great- you call over the phone and the girl is friendly, you pay, then walk in and grab your bag togo! They pack it perfectly and they are consistent. This place is my favorite bubble tea spot in Minnesota :)

    Went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Ordered two drinks and decided to get a cake. I loved my fruit drink, the cake was good, fluffy and light. I'd come back for the boba tea.

    Feng Cha just opened recently and I've already seen people around the prospect park neighborhood walking around with delicious-looking bubble tea, so I had to give it a try. Located under The Link, this is a prime coffee, tea, bubble tea, and dessert place for anyone in the area. Their dirty bubble tea was incredibly unique/ delicious and the foam on top mixed so well with the sweet brown sugar drizzled all over the cup. The decor is modern on the inside and I could see myself studying here one day! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area, especially their dirty bubble tea.

    Black tea with matcha milk foam, less ice
    Heather K.

    It was my first time in Minneapolis and I was waiting for my flight. No matter where I am, I'm always on the hunt for boba (I should really know by now that there's just places that lack good tea). I wanted to try something else other than KFT and found Feng Cha. Located inside the restaurant named Pagoda (dim sum/Chinese food restaurant?). There were people (owners?) inside that weren't speaking Chinese though but I'm guessing that's what they specialize in from their menu. Anyways, I'm guessing prior to COVID, you'd enter through the restaurant to get to the tea shop. They do not have a separate entrance. From the window, I saw two tables dedicated to the tea shop. It's located on campus and there's paid street parking in front of the restaurant. You just wait outside/in your car for them to call you as the hallway to order/pick is extremely short and narrow. Ordering: It's a bit cumbersome to order so if you're going to call in your order, do it way way in advance... like before you even get dressed to leave your house because it takes a good minute for the drinks. I think you can order online to make it easier, but I'm from out of town so can't comment on it. 4 stars from my fiancé for his matcha milk foam black tea. He expected boba but didn't explicitly ask me sooo no boba for him. 1 star for my salted milk foam black tea and 1.5 stars for his drink... maybe. He really enjoyed his drink and said it was the best of two, black tea and matcha. I personally couldn't really distinguish any matcha flavor and I LOVE matcha. Didn't adjust sugar (couldn't see the adjustments available from the menu taped to the window) and only asked for less ice. Surprisingly not sweet at all, but also weak tea flavor. The tea tasted like it was fresh brewed and didn't have enough time to seep. Staff was 5 stars - super friendly but it just took a long time for the drinks, I probably waited 15-20 minutes. Maybe the milk foam is made to order? The girl was super apologetic and running back and forth. I didn't mind waiting and was about to tell her to slow down lol.

    Amazing boba! The taste of actual tea is noticeable in a good way, of course. Only downside is the lack of easy parking.

    What's the difference between milk tea and the breeze collection?

    Breeze is like smoothie.

    Do they have offer milk substitutes, like soy or almondmilk?

    I apologize we don’t have milk substitutes. But we have decaf milk tea and some milk tea are using lactose milk to make it

    Wow! Restaurant Alma(not the cafe)…read moreCan't believe it's taken me years to visit here, I had an amazing 3 course dinner here with the wine pairings All the dishes were fantastic and my friend and I shared all of our dishes so we could experience most of the menu The service here was truly excellent from coat check to our server Miles who was super friendly and knowledgeable Everyone we encountered was so passionate about the food it made me feel good especially as the quality was so high! There wasn't anything I didn't like except dessert was not included in our meal so for extra $ we did split one and was delicious They did send me home with some mini coconut macaroons which was a nice touch Ambiance - was lovely sitting at the counter, restaurant was full but not crazy loud for a Saturday night! The menu changes seasonally so I'll be back in the fall to try that Parking- free street parking If your looking for a high quality tasting menu book here

    It is very good. It may not be outstanding, hence the 4 stars…read more This is a review specifically for the restaurant side, and you're going to have to sort the cafe/hotel/restaurant ones. A lot was on point. They had super interesting wines by the glass, the appetizers were outstanding, my duck breast was served with a perfectly smoky pepper reduction, and it was fun watching the open kitchen. We also appreciated the creativity of the uni spaghetti we were served. They do a no tipping/hospitality included model, which is nice to know what you're getting. But also, a lot was a bit off. Water took 10 minutes to get even when all the waiters were waiting for the kitchen to plate the next course. Cocktails were uninspired, basically just the flavors of the classics but with extra price. Dessert was additional, and honestly I think if you're going to do a prix fixe (which I love), do it as appetizer-main-dessert. Said uni spaghetti was creative, but lacking in balance, especially compared to the pear-nduja bruschetta (lovely) and said duck breast. I walked out feeling not unhappy, but not anywhere near one of my best experiences.
