The Tea Garden is one of the best places in Uptown, hands down! Cute corner location on the outskirts of Uptown with a fun, fresh and young atmosphere.

They have a huge selection of teas, bubble teas, lattes, coffees, coolers and shakes. You can pick a million different combinations and never have the same thing twice. I personally like the lychee black tea with tapioca pearls (bubbles). Sometimes I get lychee jellies too if I’m feeling ambitious (also available are mango, pineapple, green apple, passion fruit, tri-color, coffee and strawberry jellies).

The staff is always friendly and helpful and the scene is always lively. It’s a fun place to relax with friends, refresh after a walk through Uptown or to sit and study (free wi-fi) or read. Togo is always an option too. There isn’t a ton of parking, mostly street. The small lot next door allows Tea Garden patrons to park in a couple of spots during certain hours of the day, so mind the signs. There are also 3 other locations at Grand Ave in St. Paul, Stadium Village and the Downtown St. Paul Skyway.

I love the tea Garden, it’s so yummy! As a matter of fact, I was there jsut today. Their coolers are great! I have to go every month and most of the time go with my church girls. I remember one of the ladies ordering green tea, she loved it. I tired, and it was good! =P Can’t wait to go again!
