The Lime Stand

Posted on 7/27/2025 Visit - Only available Fridays and Saturdays: Taiwanese Peanut Ice Cream Burrito. Service has been consistently friendly and quick both times I visited since they opened. This is a cute little stand offering to-go orders only, located at the corner of NE 15th Ave and Alberta St. There’s a bus stop right in front and free street parking throughout the neighborhood. I got The Wingin It both visits, and The Hustler once. The drinks were refreshing thanks to the freshly hand-smashed lime added to your tea as you order. For someone like me who typically drinks strong, bold teas, this was different, the lime flavor definitely overpowered the very lightly brewed tea. On 7/27/2025, my son joined me and got The Wingin It as well; he mentioned he should have asked for a second smashed lime to get a stronger citrus punch. The menu is simple, with a specialized focus on Hand-Smashed Lime Tea. All drinks are $7, and you can choose one or two limes smashed in (no extra charge): -Tea Base: Jasmine Green, Thai Green, Hibiscus (Decaf), Oolong -Flavors: Plain, Passion Fruit, Lychee, Strawberry -Toppings ($0.50): Passion Fruit Popping Boba, Strawberry Popping Boba, Lychee Jelly While the tea experience is unique and refreshing, I wouldn’t drive across town for it. But I’ll continue to support them whenever I’m in the neighborhood. At $7, it’s comparable to most drinks these days, and a fun twist if you like lime-forward drinks. No restroom available on site.

What a great place for boba drinks. It is located in a newly developed area. All drinks appear to come with many slices of lime wedges. If you are a lime lover, this place is for you. We had a custom drink with Thai green tea, lychee flavor and jellies. The other drink was from a pre-made menu. Both drinks are quite sweet but they were just right if you let the ice melt a little.

Limes are probably my favorite fruit; alongside other favorite fruits of mine (habanero, tomato and avocado...yes, those are ALL fruits!), you'll find me pretty content at any Mexican restaurant, for obvious reasons. But it is also the best fruit with with to make a tasty beverage, if you ask me...I will absolutely demolish a limeade when I find one. Sadly, they are not all that common. Thankfully, the Lime Stand has emerged to fill that gap in the market. Located in a "sneeze and you'll miss it" space with a street-facing window just on the corner of Alberta and 15th, these madlads are serving up all manner of citric concoctions of tea and limes, juiced, mashed, shaken and stirred, to which you can all manner of flavors and toppings...well, bottomings (like boba or jellies), really, but you get the idea. Light, refreshing and tart (without being overly so), The Lime Stand is, for me, as someone who doesn't drink much else than water or an energy drink, probably by favorite beverage bartering business in Portland. It may be a little hard to find, especially if you aren't specifically looking for it, but they're serving up drinks here that are too good to miss!

Very refreshing. Cannot adjust sugar level but they are on the sour end, it’s good but not the best lime teas i have

I love grabbing these teas at the farmer's market, the service is quick and they're really friendly! the tea is freshly brewed and the lime makes it super refreshing in the hot weather. my favorite is the slacker but I've had some sips of other flavors, too. I've heard good things about the elusive summer strawberry flavor but it's always sold out. maybe one day! 👀🍓🍋‍🟩🌞

So absolutely good!! I swear there is not a bad flavor! They are all delicious and refreshing! They were super nice and we got to try a couple samples too! Can't wait to come here a ton over the summer.

DELICIOUS! Super cute spot with six full time flavors plus a few rotating specials. We had a hard time figuring out what we wanted but settled on The Slacker (hibiscus tea, lime, sugar) then watched in awe as our drink was crafted with human and machine powers combined. It was a perfect balance tart and sweet and the most thirst-quenching beverage we’ve ever consumed… grateful they have punch cards cause we will be back. The folks here are super kind, knowledgeable and you can tell they truly care about their craft. Which makes sense - these lime teas are the best! Located on NE 15th just north of Alberta, super convenient location (though parking may be tight if you’re driving) - this is more of a grab-and-go explore (or head home and get cozy) spot than a place to sit indoors.

They have the best smashed lime teas. The owners, Jimmy and Elaine are the nicest people and are very passionate about their drinks.
