One of the ordering machines was not working and the employees were trying to fix it while keeping up promptly with the stream of orders coming in otherwise. The drink was strong and nutty and each of the donuts were really good. I really enjoy how the icing on each of them was flavorful and not too sweet. If I had to pick only one I would go back for the black sesame one time and time again.

The store was super cute inside and pretty packed - we were there on a Friday close to closing time. We ordered right when we got in and then probably waited somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes before receiving our order which was pretty quick considering how crowded it was. I decided to try something new and got the Ube Organic Milk Drink (New). The color was a beautiful rich purple and the flavor was incredible. For those of you who have never had anything Ube flavored, you are really missing out and I encourage you try! Overall a great shop to stop!

Multiple people have told me to try Te'Amo. So when I was out and about in Riverdale, I stopped in…read more There was only 1 other group in front of us but they did order 6 drinks, so it took about 15-20 mins before our order was up. I could only see a little bit of what they were doing behindnthe counter but I was intrigued to see that the cups were all clear, and then they seal with the gold topper. I guess I thought the "can" was painted. I also got a Mochi donuts because you can't NOT get a mochi donut. It's fun to eat each ball separately and the texture is firm yet airy. I got both an Oreo smoothie and donut because I will always choose Oreo! The only thing that was slightly annoying is the wait. Only 1 person making at the drinks. Maybe I saw 1 person help out from the neighboring Chi Mak chicken place for a couple of minutes. For the first time, okay...I wasn't prepared. But even waiting 15 mins for Starbucks would be a nope! I got place to go and things to buy.

The Richfield location is my favorite, I love walking here during lunch. My favorite drink is Jasmine Milk Tea snow with Boba and herbal jelly. The tea is fragrant, not too sweet, flavorful and the boba is always cooked perfectly. The special thing about this location is that they serve Taiwanese street food, my go to is the popcorn chicken- you get a choice of original, spicy, garlic, curry or Cajun- I always get a mix of the garlic and spicy, have yet to try the other flavors. Be forewarned, spicy is actually spicy, so ask for less spicy if you just want a kick. It comes in a paper bag, similar to what one would get when ordering mini donuts but with popcorn chicken, 2 skewers to jab a piece of chicken with. I always ask for a little bag to put my chicken in so I can easily hold it, eat it while drinking my boba and walking. It's really meant to be the "street food" experience. There are 2 ways to order, at the kiosk or at the counter. There is a bar table along the window with chairs to sit, swings long one wall and a few tables closer to the back. Most usually take their boba and go. Additional tip, be sure to get a stamp card, once it's filled you're eligible for a free boba tea.

There was very loud music playing which was very distracting…read more The drink was good almond iced tea but I ordered from the kiosk and thought I got the wrong size. The employee initially ignored me and then said she couldn't do anything she went based on the ticket. I just didn't appreciate how rude she was. Another employee was wheeling a large garbage can right near the table I was seated at and through the front door to empty it. I thought that was strange.

On Thursday's and Sunday they have an added selection of vegan doughnuts and on Wednesday they do gluten free!! This is a small location but does have some seating if you want to eat your doughnuts right away. They do have coffee as well but I didn't try that this go around. I got a strawberry filled/ strawberry glazed vegan doughnut- it was delicious! I wouldn't have known it wasn't made without dairy, butter or eggs at all! The doughnut was light and fluffy! The jelly inside didn't taste fake and had big pieces of real strawberry! Soooo good! I couldn't help myself and did get their pistachio Cronut (picture a croissant and doughnut had a baby. This was not vegan) it was soooo flaky, had the perfect amount of sweetness and was absolutely amazing! I have had cronuts before and would have liked to see this one thicker but honestly it was soooo good I'm not sure I missed the height. I already want to go back and try other flavors!! Sooooo tasty! Definitely check this place out!

I'm not usually fond of filled donuts, but theirs are light and fluffy with a filling that just melts in your mouth. Though $6 a donut felt a bit steep (or maybe I'm just cheap), it feels worth it and an elevated enough experience to justify it! Even better was finding out that I'm located right up the road from their storefront in St Paul! I will be seeing you again very soon, SoYen :)

Arguably best poke I've ever had?? Have never been to Hawaii so can't compare there…read more This is actual authentic Hawaiian poke with the fish already marinated, which is superrrr rare in the Midwest. You can choose from things like Hawaiian style, Lao style, shoyu, spicy, etc. I got the shoyu tuna, spicy tuna (which is minced, my fav), and spicy salmon. Shoyu tuna was probably the weakest, but even then it was amazing. Every bite was so fresh, toppings are truly unlimited, and the portion sizes are incredibly generous. Service is super quick, and the store itself is very clean and minimalistic.

Parking situation can be tight depending on when you go but it's definitely doable.

We got a couple donuts and I got a London Fog latte - all of which were delicious. We also picked up an assortment of cookies - my brother-in-law and I love to sample unique foods, but particularly baked goods. We also picked up a couple cupcakes for a picnic we planned to have at the falls later in the day. Everything as good - there was a coconut oatmeal cookie (I think) that I loved. Part of my experience at any place is always customer service along with the food. It matters to some but doesn't matter to others. I will say, it was really off putting because the two people we came across to help us seemed put off by a couple questions I had and when I asked for their recommendations. There was no line behind us, not a single person, and we went back and forth on some flavors so maybe that upset them. I don't know what it was but it left an unfortunate impression.

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.
