Nice 2 Meet Cha — Restaurant in Maple Grove

Variety is the spice of life, and at Nice 2 Meet Cha, there is plenty of variety...and spice! I've been to Nice 2 Meet Cha quite a few times now and every single time it's been great. My daughter enjoys the Dirty Strawberry drink and the California bowl. I've had the Fire bowl, which is fantastic. My wife always builds her own bowl. I've also built my own bowl, choosing the soba noodles and spring mix as the base. I really enjoyed it and will definitely order it again. The soba noodles were a tasty option (particularly when coated with poke or yum yum sauce!) and the spring mix was very fresh and crisp. Definitely do try to build your own bowl as there are lots of delicious options from which to choose - spicy salmon, edamame, spicy mayo and yum yum sauce, kimchi and seaweed salad, and chili flakes and dried cranberries to name just a few. The staff are friendly and helpful too, so don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. For example, today I ordered the Thai Milk tea (which is freakin' amazing), but I wasn't sure if I should have boba with it. I asked the person taking our order what she recommended, and she said the boba are very good with the Thai Tea and very popular. I liked the boba. The drink was so darn good. You're crazy if you don't try one, seriously. I also appreciate that you can set the sugar level, such as at 100%, 75%, or 50%. I ordered mine at 75%, which was nicely sweet but not overwhelmingly sugary. I can't say enough good things about Nice 2 Meet Cha. Behind a great restaurant, is an owner, manager, supervisor, cook, server, cashier who collectively care about the quality of the food they serve and the service they provide. Nice 2 Meet Cha is well run, and it shows. The staff should be very proud of the work they do and the food and drinks that they create and serve. Thank you! So, do yourself a favor and give them a try. I know I'll be going back soon....and who knows what I'll try? Maybe a Coffee Milk Tea? Thai Tea Slush? Because, you know, variety is the...

I can't emphasize how much I love this place! I've wanted a local bubble tea shop for years and I'm so happy one is finally here! I've tried all of the other places with bubble tea nearby: Song, Kung Fu, Lotus, Ichiddo Ramen etc. None of them stand up to Nice 2 Meet Cha. I go in weekly and always look forward to it!

I always get the Thai Milk Tea with brown sugar boba and it's excellent. Many of the other bubble tea places nearby have stale, flavorless boba but not here! Here you can tell it's fresh and with real brown sugar rather than pump after pump of high fructose corn syrup. It's soft and flavorful and comforting. I also appreciate that you can change the sugar level of the drink, since only a few other places offer the choice. They have slushes, sparkling drinks, hot drinks, milk teas, and some seasonal options!

The atmosphere is nice and cozy. I always come here with my friends and do schoolwork at the tables while we drink our tea. I've definitely become a bit of a regular! :] I've been going here for about a year now I believe? Time flies! I love doodling on the board they have while I wait for my drink. I never have to wait long, even if there's a line!

As for the food, I don't always get bowls but I've never been disappointed! They pair well with the drinks and have slips where you can write what you'd like in your bowl if the options on the menu don't sound like what you'd like. The food is flavorful and fresh.

What also makes me love this place are the employees. Some have been here since I first started coming and they're so kind and welcoming! This place is so down to earth and I've never once felt out of place. I've gotten friends and family hooked!

Nice 2 Meet Cha is a local gem and I'm so glad that I know about it. I love...

My husband and I visited during their soft opening and we were very impressed with our experience!

The inside was cute, clean, and modern. The staff members, even though the store was busy and it was their first day open, were all nice and professional.

I am very particular about my boba drinks, and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the signature milk tea with boba, and my husband got the matcha tea latte with cheese foam and crystal boba. Both of our drinks had a great balance of tea, sweetness, and creaminess. The cheese foam was good and added a complementary layer of creaminess and savoriness to the matcha latte. And our respective toppings were the perfect consistency and had the amount of chew, softness, sweetness that we would look for.

Some day I'll try the poke, but from what I could tell the ingredients looked fresh and there was a lot to choose from.

I'm super excited to try out more items on their menu, and I'm so glad Maple Grove now has a great local boba tea...
