Crema's Take

Sencha Tea Bar in Uptown is a whimsical destination for tea lovers seeking creative flavor combinations, from their celebrated boba options to matcha drinks that inspire fierce loyalty among Twin Cities regulars. The space itself feels magical with plenty of seating and outlets for lingering over pastries and light snacks, though you'll want to bring a layer since the café runs decidedly cool. What really sets them apart is the genuine care in their beverage execution and customer service, making it equally suited for focused work sessions or leisurely friend dates—just come with realistic expectations about consistency and maybe a sweater.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Really good menu with a variety of flavor options. The pastries and snacks are also good, and there are items like stickers, pins, merch, keychains, etc for sale. Plenty of seating and outlets. It’s a bit dim so not great in terms of natural lighting, but it’s a good atmosphere…

The best boba tea place in all of the Twin Cities. They have the best options and the best flavors with great customer service and deals. Nothing like buy one get one free Tuesday that brings us in every Tuesday now! Thank you!

Wow. The atmosphere is so lovely here. Perfect place to bring a friend and chat or just curl up with a book and a drink. This place feels magical. Our server was very friendly and helpful! She also gave great recommendations like the winter melon to go with ginger in my drink,…

Bring a sweater! It's super cold inside and if you want to come in and do some remote work or a long chat, you might get chilly. Not sure why it's so cold inside. You have to plan ahead on coming here because of all the construction which is absolute madness. Lots of traffic…
