Niko Niko Boba

Niko Niko Boba is a bubble tea store at 2819 Nicollet Ave in Minneapolis, MN, serving drinks for people looking to enjoy boba in the city. Its menu includes signature milk tea, banana milk tea, and drinks with brown sugar pearls. The customer feedback available is mixed, so a visit may suit someone who is curious to try the drinks and has time to order without rushing. The shop is open every day, Monday through Sunday, from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it an option for an afternoon treat or an evening stop.

Some customers highlight the flavor of the signature tea and banana milk tea. One reviewer was pleasantly surprised by the pairing of pureed banana and black tea, especially with brown sugar pearls, and described the pearls as pleasantly springy. That combination may appeal to anyone interested in a fruit-forward milk tea with chewy boba rather than a more familiar flavor. Brown sugar boba also appears in customer orders, although reviews do not establish that every drink can be customized with the same toppings or ingredients.

Sweetness is worth considering when choosing a drink. A customer who requested 50 percent sweetness felt the finished teas still tasted very sweet, while another described the drinks as tasty but overly sweet. If you prefer a less-sweet beverage, you may want to confirm how sweetness adjustments work when ordering. The feedback suggests that expectations and the taste of the finished drink may not always line up, so checking the details at the counter can help clarify your preferences before the order is prepared.

Reviews also describe uneven order accuracy and wait times. One customer reported receiving mango popping pearls instead of the requested pineapple and brown sugar boba on two separate visits. Another described a lengthy wait while two drinks were remade, even when there was no line. These are individual experiences, not a guarantee of what every visit will be like, but they suggest allowing extra time and checking that the drink and toppings match your order before leaving. A separate reviewer said the shop did not accept cash; payment options can change, so it is sensible to check what is accepted before visiting.

For people comparing boba options around Nicollet Avenue, Niko Niko Boba offers recognizable choices alongside the distinctive banana-and-black-tea combination noted by customers. Its Minneapolis location and daily hours make it straightforward to plan a visit, whether you are stopping by alone or meeting someone for a drink. The overall rating is 3.9 from 46 reviews, reflecting a range of experiences with taste, preparation, and service. Come with a little flexibility, communicate any sweetness or topping preferences clearly, and take a moment to confirm your order at pickup.
