Great tea place for boba and loose leaf tea lovers! We had the taro milk tea and matcha lemonade…read more The taro MT wasn't too sweet and the taro flavor was apparent. My friend said the matcha lemonade had more of a lemon and matcha flavor. We thought it was odd the menu board gave the option of "hot" or "iced" for lemonade since lemonade is never hot. Plenty of seating, most of which was open. They have loose leaf teas and other merch for sale. I bought a boba sticker for $1! Service was friendly. Only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that there was no AC (or it was broken?). Given how humid it was, the cool air would have felt good. I don't live in the area but would come back if I did, especially if the weather was cooler.

Review is for L2 at Tii Cup…read more Great drinks, great vibes, great service. Parking can be a pain but it's doable. Cute space to enjoy adult Asian inspired flavors above the regular Tii Cup. Drinks are good but don't skip out on the street food. The spicy calamari and fries go too perfectly with drinks.

It was so cool and the vibe was so fun. We sat outside on the deck and it was so perfect. Their drink menu was filled with interesting and unique cocktails. I tried the "What the pho" drink and it was so incredible! The drink tasted exactly like pho and it was so bizarre! It was really good and a must try!! The appetizers and entree were also really delicious! We tried the popcorn chicken, the garlic noodles, and the salt and pepper shrimp bowl. Everything was delicious!! Because it was my birthday, I got a free shot! What a nice gesture - so grateful! Our server was Jason and he was super attentive, friendly, and helpful. His service made our experience that much more enjoyable! I highly recommend this spot!!

The banana pudding matcha was sweet & creamy, and the ceremonial matcha was worth the $1 for the intense matcha flavor. It looks like the matcha is sweetened by Blue agave. The burn for you is a Vietnamese coffee with creme brulee, creamy, sweet, and reminds me of an egg coffee. Definitely was so excited to see the new menu and will be back to try more

I wouldn't personally order it again since there are plenty of other options to try here. The baristas were really nice when helping me decide between the 3 matcha latte options. I'll be back to try the poke (which my friends all enjoy here), other milk teas, and fruit teas sometime!

This time (and every other time), I treated myself to the Strawberry Dream--a heavenly combo of fluffy waffles, fresh strawberries, and the perfect drizzle of sweetness.

Waffle bar is a small place in an uptown that doesn't have a lot is seating but good ice cream…read more Located right in Lyndale across from the world street kitchen, it has a small parking lot and a few tables inside to have your ice cream. The first thing you notice is the smell of fresh waffles. And it's lovely. They have a selection of different creations and specials that you can order from. And if you are not in the mood for nice cream, they also have some interesting drinks you can try like bubble tea and smoothies. But try the ice cream. The ice cream is creamy and delicious and the creations, while not cheap, are very tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful and will assist you if you have questions or not able to decide. We like this place for a sweet treat or a special celebration.

Well thinking I would go to Pho Hua instead, I pulled intonthe Shuang Hur Grocer's parking lot thinking I'd grab a few things before heading north on Eat Street. Then I saw signs on the Shuang Hur building for a (new to me) Vietnamese joint in the same building. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! My Huong is an 8-top hole in the wall across the parking lot from the rear of El Nuevo Mariachi Restaurant. The place is homely, small, but brightly lit and plenty of day light through the picture windows overlooking Eat Street. It's a big contrast to Pho 79 type places that are dim and short on ambience. The clientele shows. Instead of just a bunch of Asians throwing down Pho, it's a mix like you'd see at Quang or Eat Street Crossing. I was seated right away, was greeted by a cheery Vietnamese lady, and ordered Hu Tieu Bo Khu (Beef Stew Noodle Soup.) It was a dish I haven't seen before even though I have been to so many Vietnamese places (see my other reviews and lists.) The dish came very quickly, and I was shocked that they didn't bring it with a veggie plate. Oh well. Well the best way I could describe Hu Tieu Bo Khu, its basically a pot roast over noodles. So the beefy broth like a less spicey version of Bun Bo Hue, with flavors of lemongrass and star anise, nicely garnished already with what would have been on a veggie plate. The broth was delicious, slightly sweet with the carrots, and the beef was fall apart amazingly stewed with deep flavor. There were other menu items like Curry Chicken pho and a Stewed chicken rice dish I'd have to return and try!

Add the ice cream!…read more I was driving through Minneapolis with a sweet tooth and remembered seeing this place before so made a quick pit stop. So glad I did! We got strawberry crepe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So good! The crepe was soft and fluffy and the cornflakes inside added a wonderful crunch. Since my son and I were sharing a sweet treat, I had to bring home a slide of crepe cake for my hubby. He chose the strawberry Oreo and he enjoyed that as well! The two employees there were both so welcoming and friendly! We'll be back when we are in the area again.

I ordered Crème Brûlée soufflé pancakes, they were delish!…read more First time trying soufflé pancakes, they were just as amazing as they look! Fluffy, bouncy, eggy, delicious. The pancakes themselves aren't very sweet which really balances the sweet toppings on the Crème Brûlée. When I visited, there was no line at 5pm on a Saturday so service was quick and staff let me know the pancakes would take ~15 min which was accurate. The space itself is pretty small so seating options are limited and a bit cramped. The price on the pancakes was a bit steep at 15.99 but would totally get these again because it's such a unique experience!
