    Bubble tea

    Good bubble tea--refreshing, flavorful, and just the right sweetness. Definitely worth a try!

    Best bubble tea mural ever!
    Stephanie A.

    Woot! So glad to find this sister location for the spot I already knew in Midtown. They will gladly switch around flavors/boba from what is listed on the menu, so I was pleased to wind up with a peach black tea with traditional boba and it was lovely. I suspect most people get their food to go, but there is seating available and a terrific boba tea mural ??!! on the west wall.

    For a midwest boba cafe, it's alright. I really like jasmine milk teas, so I'm always searching for it at bubble tea places. Normally, I wouldn't stop by to get a milk tea, but my boyfriend and I happened to find $15 dollars on the ground while we were loading up groceries. We got two drinks for $10.20, so the price isn't terrible, but it is still considered a treat.

    This place is awesome! Hidden in an older little strip mall area, this really is one of those hidden gems you hear about! The place quickly filled up with a big line after we had arrived. Which seemed like a great sign! Had a cool mural on their wall which is a big eye catcher as soon as you walk in! Decently priced and well worth the small wait! I had a Chai Tea with boba and it was like tasting a craft store in a cup! Amazing!

    My daughter loves boba and has been looking for a place in Omaha or Lincoln to try onigiri, so we were so excited to try out thirst tea! I love that it's easy to get to with plenty of parking. There was lots of available tables and seating when we walked in at lunchtime. The drink menu is extensive and they had our favorites (taro milk tea with boba, and strawberry milky with boba). I really liked that there were two different sizes of boba - a lot of places only have one large size. For the onigiri we ordered the yoshi, spam, and shrimp tempura. My daughter liked the shrimp tempura the best, and I liked the spam. They come nicely wrapped up so they would be perfect to take in a lunchbox if you're not eating there. They also come with a side of sauce that is slightly spicy (it was too spicy for my daughter but I loved it). While we were there we also ordered some edamame and soft serve ice cream. The ice cream comes in a cup or cone and they have several toppings to choose from. My 4 year old got a taro and coconut swirl in a cup with Oreos and strawberry pocky. I loved the flavor of the ice cream, and can't wait to try a charcoal and matcha swirl next time!

    Stopped in for some boba chai tea today. Service was good, fast and the chai bobba was very tasty. Been to the midtown location but today was my first time here on 76 and Dodge. Was all good.

    This is the second thirst tea location to open in Omaha (the first one is in Midtown Crossing). The location is right next to the Asian Market, which is both smart of them and convenient to all of us. With this addition and Meisu Cafe next door, I am hoping the whole area turns into a little Asiatown. Wouldn't that be so cool?? This Thirst Tea has easy and free parking, but weird that the different locations have different availability for the menu. This location has soft serve, but no traditional teas. Apparently Midtown has the opposite. I feel that if an item is not served at the location, it should not be on the menu. Also, with competitors yumchaa and kungfu tea within a 5-10 min drive, its tough to love them as much as I used to when they were the only option. I think in order for them to stay popular they should really consider adding "sugar customization" to their drinks. I'm still a fan, but I would like to see some improvements and growth for this awesome tea franchise.

    Tiger Milk Boba

    Definitely our new favorite Boba place in town! We live in Elkhorn so we rarely make the drive East especially if it's just for drinks. After having Thirst Tea, we will definitely be making the drive to get the Boba here. Came in on a Saturday afternoon at 3 and even at that time there was a steady stream of traffic. They whip up Boba faster than any place we've previously been (in all fairness, only 3 other places). It's obvious they have a system and run like a well oiled machine. My girls got a mix of mango slushy bobas, dragon fruit tea boba, and I got the Tiger Milk boba. All the flavors were great, however, our unanimous favorite was the Tiger Milk Boba. I've had it in different places and states and it's honestly the right mix of sweet, flavor, and bubbles here. I think my girls wished they would've gotten the same thing :) Only drawback was the food came out significantly later than the bobas which is understandable, however, we didn't care for the chicken wings. Would've liked them MUCH crispier. Eggs rolls were fine too. I would say stick to the Boba if you come here. You can for sure expect me and my crew to be back!

    I tried the ice cream and really enoyed it (got the Charcoal and the Thai Iced Tea). I think would be cool if they offered a "small" size as the cheapest entry point is $5 for ice cream (I think). If I'm in the area, I would come back.

    After catching dinner nearby, I decided to have a dessert tea at this location. Thirst Tea Cafe does not allow for inside seating, you approach the front counter, look at the hot or cold drinks, and make your choice. I went with U8: Bruce Lee with lychee. It's dark with a passion fruit taste that allows smal pieces of lychee to float into your mouth and creates an enjoyable after meal liquid fruit that isn't overly sweet. I noticed snack food is available to order besides the drinks and ice cream. It's similar to the Kung Fu tea down 72nd and Pacific but more to offer in variety in my opinion. Overall, a good stop on a week night in Midtown Omaha.

    Vanilla charcoal soft serve with matcha pocky & oreo crumb

    So excited that they finally opened..., been dying waiting for them to open since last year :D Love it too that I don't have to walk too much to get to them like at the Midtown location, which is really helpful in extreme weather conditions or when you have kids. They also have a graffiti art work on one of their walls which pretty cool (according to my son :)). Menu wise, they have all of the drinks and snacks that they serve in the Midtown location with additional soft serve ice cream which they don't have there. We tried the vanilla charcoal flavor with red velvet cone and we are not disappointed, it was gone within 5 minutes... However I must say $7.13 (after tax with $0.50 extra for additional topping) is kinda pricey for a dessert. They are definitely going to be my new go to location for sure as I know that they have good bubble teas and they close to my house too :).

    The Asian Market has one of the best selections I've seen--whether you're looking for fresh…read moreproduce, hard-to-find sauces, noodles, snacks, or specialty ingredients, they seem to have it all. It's the kind of store where you can go in for one thing and end up discovering five new favourites. Everything was well-stocked and organised, and the freshness--especially in the produce and refrigerated sections--really stood out. You can tell they take pride in what they carry. I really liked that they carried a wide range of various cookware, utensils, pots, cups, dishes, etc. They have a very good seafood selection and it is all fresh too. I wouldn't be hesitant in buying seafood from here and I'm from Florida which should say something. I was looking for some green loose leaf tea and the staff was also friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. If you're trying to cook authentic Asian dishes at home or just want to explore something new, this is the spot. They also have a wide variety of Asian medicinals and makeups. I really enjoyed the little eating area and cafe style counter to buy lunch and drinks (boba and other Asian specialty drinks) at as well. Omaha is lucky to have a market like this--definitely worth the visit, and I'll be coming back often.

    Overall 3.5, but rounded to a 4…read more As a visitor from out of state I was pleasantly surprised by the variety in this market. Prices were good compared to what I see in ABQ New Mexico. Lots of different Asian sauces, products, and other items. It gives me a feel of a 99 Ranch Market. There is a section of claw machines, which is rigged. Even though we did win some prize, some machines were kind of sketchy, one machine did take one of our tokens. There is a takeout/restaurant in the back, it was pretty busy while we were there. They had pre made banh mi to grab on the go, banh mi, is something that should be eaten fresh when possible. This place is pretty big and we'll organized. This is the only Asian market I've been to out here, but I think its pretty good being out here in Omaha. The cons is that the parking lot is tight, the layout of the registers are not in a good spot, when its busy the entrance way gets super congested and makes you feel cramped. The claw machine took our money and some of the machines with the good prizes didnt work. But its good to know there is a well stocked Asian market in the area.. for when have considerations to moving to the O

    This is an adorable little ice cream shop in the Aksarben neighborhood…read more Very cute and colorful inside, with bright green and orange walls - and a cute as sin little penguin mascot in the corner holding his own rolled ice cream! I had been to a few rolled ice cream shops before, so I knew what to expect in this experience. The staff were amazing and it was so cool to see them do the rolling of the ice cream and add in the chosen toppings perfectly. On our first trip there, I had the strawberry shortcake flavor combo and my husband had the Oreo cookie combo. They were both so neatly created with the toppings telling you just what treat you got, very noticeably. No mixing up your ice cream here! Our second visit, we got the s'mores mixture, which came with so many brightly colored marshmallows (like in Lucky Charms) and my husband got his Oreo one again (don't mess with success, I guess). Freezing Thai is a great little treat shop to try out, especially if you've never had rolled ice cream before. Next time I will try the shakes or coffee drinks, for sure!

    After a savory lunch, I wanted something sweet. Luckily this ice cream shop was couple blocks away…read more We walked down the shopping area and came to this cafe that shared the space with fried chicken restaurant. Order at the counter or kiosk and just hangout while they make your order. You're able to watch them smash the ice cream and roll them. I was still full and ordered just bubble tea.
