Delicious Boba, but half of my drink was ice. I should have ordered light ice since the last half of my drink tasted watered down (weak). Here, the Boba is the large tapioca balls and the Pearls are the small tapioca balls. Both Boba and Pearls were very soft and flavorful. The Brown Sugar Signature Tea was also very good until my ice melted. Service was good, but only one person was working so we were lucky there wasn't a line when we arrived. There are only seats for two people to sit inside, so I would not call it comfortable while you wait for your order. The restaurant was clean and minimalistic. I enjoyed my cute Hello Kitty cup. read more

So glad we revisited! They DO allow you to adjust the sweetness. Not sure if they changed their rules or if we got the wrong information the previous visit a few years ago. we tried the brown sugar milk tea 50% sweet and the brown sugar milk 100% sweet. Both were delicious! And boba has a good chew. read more

I stopped by this shop after work and the drink totally made my day . The roasted milk tea had a deep tea aroma and the sweetness was just right. The boba pearls were warm and chewy, exactly how I like them. The shop was clean, calm, and had nice background music. The staff were patient and helped me pick the right topping. I'll definitely come back again soon! read more

I was in Dinkytown and was craving boba (I always crave boba) and was excited to try a new place! Looked on Yelp and Tiger Sushi had great reviews, so that's where we went. I got the matcha black sugar boba milk and was so disappointed. The drink tasted like milk with boba. The boba was good, but I was so disappointed with the drink itself. read more

Reminds me of NYC. I'm so happy this is here in the Midwest. I love this place so much compared to other boba places. I really love their selection of drinks. The flavor is def there unlike other places. The brown sugar drink is soooo good. The service is always so nice and place is pretty quiet. The only downside for me would be the location. So difficult to find a parking. I hope they can open more locations sometime in the future!! :) read more

Tiger Sugar - Brown T5 black sugar boba tea latte with cream mousseXL - Bubble Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

First time to Tiger Sugar. It was strange that they would have a self ordering stand and I was a little confused at first about ordering at the counter since the self ordering was at the front of the line. We did the self ordering. There's not much modification for the drink. The taro drink I had seemed like there's chunks of taro but after a few sips it just taste like powder. The mango drink was a little tart and not very sweet. I like the little chunks of mango. The paper straws are a little hard to drink from for little kids because they suck on the straw and then it doesn't keep its shape to drink through anymore. read more

Stopped at Tiger Sugar on a weekday afternoon. Fortunately got there right before a big rush of people. It was a little tough to understand the differences in the drinks and options from the signs, but the staff answered our questions. Ordered the original and it was only OK. Sweet and creamy, but it lacked any flavor depth - pretty much just tasted like milky brown sugar. I was hoping it would taste like what I tried in Taipei, but it was definitely missing something. And, there was an odd combination of larger boba and smaller pearls, which didn't go that well together. Not sure if I'll go back, but if so, I will be sure to ask for the boba only. read more

YES!! Honestly, I never understood why this place got so much recognition and hype when I've had other comparable brands! Heck, I even stood in line for 2 hours once for a different shop. This place really does a great job with their brown sugar boba! When I think of brown sugar milk all I can think of is the amount of sugar and sweetness that I am about to consume, but Tiger Sugar, while still sweet, I felt like they aren't reminding me to schedule a dentist appointment. I really enjoyed the mini boba mixed within the regular boba, there seems to be some sort of boba variation with every sip. They use horizon whole milk as their standard (my favorite milk), but you can definitely get a dairy alternative! If you aren't someone that likes milk products, they do have tea drinks as well! With tax they come to be about $6 a cup, which is pricey for the size, but it is worth every sip (even though I completely smashed this in like 5 minutes). I would definitely come back to try their other brown sugar drinks! read more

This boba place is a treat! It's relatively new and my sister turned me on to it. It was delicious and the perfect cool drink for a warm afternoon! We got the No. 1 and it was pretty sweet, but otherwise the flavor of the drink and texture of the boba were both phenomenal! They didn't appear to have seating, but this was a great stop since we were in Dinkytown and wanted something cool to sip on as we walked around. read more

Nice place. Good service and drinks. Only thing sucks is the location because it was hard to find parking and get to it.

The flavors here seem really limiting but if you like coffee flavored and cream boba teas then this is a cool spot to check out. We tried the mango sago and black sugar boba w tiger jelly and cream mousse. I didn't find the mango sweet enough, but could be nice if you like your mango not as ripe and less sweet. You also get a larger drink going with mango. The black sugar one was definitely up my alley, so I enjoyed that. I think the tiger jelly's were too hard tho esp mixed with the soft pearls. Threw the textures off for me. Overall I would go back and try something else. Price is comparable to about anywhere else in the area. The one with pudding mixed in seems intriguing. read more

I. AM. OBSESSED! Absolutely so delicious! So glad it made its way to Minneapolis. I saw people saying it's too sweet. I do not agree at all and I don't like overly sweet things. Make sure to shake your drinks very well as it disperses the sugar throughout. Otherwise, all you'll get is sugar and then just milk and that's not the way it's meant to be drank. Service is honestly fine. Seems like a lot of college kids work here. Never really had an issue. My only thing is I wish they had a larger size! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for so long but don't have one where I live. When I heard Minneapolis has one, I knew I had to try it. It definitely did not disappoint and was one of the best boba drinks I've ever had. I wish I could have gone back and got more! Highly highly recommend if you love boba. read more

Tiger Sugar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm normally not a brown sugar of person. Honestly? I've been pretty let down by it. I like the nuttiness and caramel taste of it, but often times, I feel like I'm one drink away from developing some Type II diabetes based on how sweet it is. Or, it doesn't even taste any different from regular boba that I'm confused as to whether I even ordered brown sugar boba. No more. Not with Tiger Sugar here. Not gonna lie, I did struggle a little deciphering the menu. Basically, it boils down to this. If you're going for brown sugar boba, there are an assortment of different options, that have slightly different variations - do you want pearls? Coffee? Pudding? Jelly? Chocolate? Pick whatever you like. There are some options that don't have brown sugar boba, but if you're coming here in the first place, why? Ordered just the classic brown sugar boba with creme mousse and pearls, and let me tell you - the hype lived up. The boba are actually in different sizes, which was kind of a textural delight, and the taste itself? I could actually taste brown sugar without it being overwhelmingly sweet. I would 100% go again. read more

I don't usually order brown sugar milk teas because they can definitely be too dense and overloaded with sugar, but after trying Tigar Sugar in NYC, I was more than excited to hear that the chain was coming to MPLS, because I found the options here quite lacking, even coming from PDX where there already were not many. I came on opening weekend so it was definitely crowded. The store was small and didn't have electronic order kiosks like in NYC, and maybe this was just during opening weekend to improve efficiency, but a lot of items on the menu were crossed out/not available. I have tried the #1 with and without cream mousse (didn't taste a big difference) and also the green tea latte. Of note, there's no option to customize your sugar level here. While this may sound scary (maybe just for me, who usually orders 30-50% sweetness at best), trust in me telling you to trust their process. The drinks will come out with perfectly soft chewy brown sugar boba, and the drinks will not be as sweet as you were expecting. Their boba is definitely the best of all the boba chains I've tried, and the drinks have remained consistent in quality every time I've been. read more

This is a global chain but so glad to have this option in MN! Top two best bubble tea places in the area. I usually have gotten the classic brown sugar drink but opted for a black tea with cheese foam cap and no regrets! Utterly delicious and simple bliss- highly recommend!

Tiger Sugar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This was my first time as a customer after a Yelp Elite event and I was jazzed! I brought a friend with and unfortunately things felt a little meh this time around. I ordered on the kiosk and there's a section to write in requests. I wanted less boba (they mix boba and pearls and it can be a lot) and was able to type it in without an issue. Almost immediately I was called to the counter and asked if I didn't want any boba. Confused I said I wanted some but not as much as normal. The employee told me they could do that. Honestly that makes no sense. Last time I was here they scooped it in by hand so why couldn't they accommodate this request that every other shop does? I went with the brown sugar milk tea with the chocolate malt powder. I don't think I would get it again. After vigorous shaking I was still sucking up clumps of malt powder. I will saw the longer the drink sat the more the clumps disappeared but normally I wouldn't wait that long to drink. The place was packed and they were pumping out drinks quickly. I'd return, but probably stick to the OG. Also, keep in mind this place doesn't let you customize your drink. read more

I had the signature brown sugar boba milk just 2 weeks ago in TX and was delighted to see one in Minneapolis. Had the matcha boba milk and the cup wasn't even full, like one inch til the rim. The taste of the drink was ok but it wasn't creamy at all. It was hot on July 4th and the store's A/C wasn't working properly since most customers were complaining how hot it was. I was sweating while standing in the store and it was very uncomfortable. Took about 15 minutes to get my drink with two workers there. I understand the staff shortage and had no issues in waiting but at least give me a full drink when you charged over $8. The paper straw was too short for the cup and hard to get the bobas. read more

Surprised to see Tiger Sugar in Minneapolis and it was a hot day. I first had Tiger Sugar in Taichung, Taiwan in 2018 and then in Hong Kong in 2019. Also had it in Houston, TX in 2021 and now in MN. Every Tiger Sugar should share the same formula and there is no adjustment to ice and sugar levels. Today, I had the matcha milk tea XL for $8.29. I usually get the #1 the signature brown sugar boba milk with cream mousse. The matcha isn't as creamy as #1 and the sweetness is definitely toned down. Bobas and pearls are sweet and chewy but the cream mousse was missing. While I'm an eco conscious individual, I'd hope they change the paper straw vendor because the straw was too short for an XL cup to stir to begin with. I had the drink for 5 minutes and the top of the straw got really soft on the top where it was hard to suck up the bobas. Poor material and design, IMO. Glad to see a familiar brand in MN. read more

Super excited Tiger Sugar opened in Dinkytown. This is the bubble tea I remember from Taiwan. The bubbles are perfectly cooked in brown sugar. They use real milk (vegetarian option available too) instead of the powder stuff at many places. Mixed together, the drink is full of flavor and a significant elevation from the often artificial or watered down taste of subpar boba places. They have a relatively small menu but it is done well. There is no option to customize sugar and ice levels but they already got it just right for us. My only qualm is I didn't like how they mixed large and small boba together. (It certainly adds interest and texture, so this is just a personal preference thing.) Next time I think I am going to try to request large bobas only. There is a kiosk in the store for quick ordering. No seating. Street parking. read more

Came here for their grand opening last weekend and despite the 40 minute wait, I definitely think it's worth it! I got the original tiger sugar brown sugar latte and it was delicious! They use a cream mousse instead of a milk base which gives the drink a creamier texture. The bubbles were also the perfect texture -- chewy and slightly sweetened. I'd recommend coming here in a few weeks when it's less busy! read more

The first time I came here, I drank it and thought "this is good, but I think I like boba with tea in it rather than a brown sugar milk drink." I still stand by that statement as I do prefer milk tea over brown sugar boba. However, as the weeks went by I've ended up frequenting Tiger Sugar more than any of the other boba shops in the area, and I think that speaks to the quality of their brown sugar boba. Their selection is pretty small for a boba shop (aka revolves around brown sugar boba), but honestly if they only had their #1 signature drink that would be sufficient. I've gotten the variations with boba+pudding and boba+black jelly, but I think I still like their #1 (boba + pearls) the best. I also was afraid the first time I was here that it would be too sweet since I usually adjust to 50% sugar for my milk tea, but it wasn't as sweet as I thought. Definitely could be a miss for someone who likes their boba 0-25% sweet or appreciates the bitterness of the tea flavor in their drink, but I would definitely give Tiger Sugar a try. read more

My first Yelp elite event! I do love Boba Tea and sometimes have a hard time finding it. Street parking but found a place right away since we were there maybe not during busy hours. I had already looked at their menu online so kind of knew what I was going to order in advance. Their drinks do look as nice as their pictures except that the Tapioca pearls sink to the bottom as that was the first ingredient I saw her put in, she charged me I think $6.00 after I had handed her my paperwork showing it was suppose to be covered for an elite experience, she read and reread the paperwork and looked puzzled then she did clear out the register and made the tea and handed me a cute bag with goodies and apologized for her error, no biggy! I ordered their #1 signature drink, Black Sugar Boba + Pearl Milk with Cream Mousse. It was in my opinion just ok. It does smell slightly like burned brown sugar when you walk in but nothing tasted burnt. The pearls were fantastic though, huge and chewy and they give you a large straw they the pearls don't plug the straw. I noticed there's another Boba tea place directly across the street which I would think they must be fighting for attention, they were empty when I got there and when I left, hope they make it! Cool that they have a machine that seals a lid on it for to go orders. I would probably try again if I was in the area sometime, but wouldn't make a special trip for it. Thank you for letting me try you out! It was appreciated. read more

This place has delicious, refreshing bubble tea. I came here with a friend on a hot August day before we began to walk around the University of Minnesota's campus, and was wowed by not only the high quality of the bubble tea, but the overall atmosphere inside too. For reference, I ordered their Tiger Mango Sago - so refreshing! Service is very friendly, and the drinks are made relatively quickly yet still so good. While the store itself was quite empty (there is minimal seating space inside), there were lots of cute decorations inside and the interior felt very homey and cozy. Must be great for U of M students to come in and have a little break from their studies. Will definitely be back here when in the area again. read more

Definitely a different taste! Creamy, chewy pearls, and absolutely delicious! At first, I was skeptical about it as I am not a huge "sugar" or brown sugar person, but OMG I DID NOT REGRET!

Really good bubble tea store! I'm thinking it's because of the brown sugar that they use that makes it so good!

Went here right after class and was in a convenient location. The actual boba was tastier than the surrounding bubble tea places! Would go again read more

This is the best flavor of boba tea (imho) and this place makes it perfectly! Service was fast and friendly too.

Gave it a try because it was nearby. I got the #1; a unique brown sugar taste. My daughters got the F2 and enjoyed the Crystal boba.

Their drinks are good although they are too sweet to me. However, their customer service is so bad. The cashier didn't greet or ask me what drinks I wanted. She just stood there and added in order whatever I pointed to. Finally, she asked "anything else?" That was it. The barista was even nicer than her. She handed me my drinks and wished me a happy night. She should be the cashier instead!!! Plus, I don't understand why they only sell half of the menu? Everything else was crossed out! read more
