Favorite boba shop in all of Chicago! I've had bad experiences with other boba shops and chains where products and service are inconsistent. Top Tao truly stands out for their superior product, tea itself, always consistent in flavor and service, you can truly tell this business is concerned over the quality of their brand and their presence in the community. Would drive over an hour if I had to just to get boba from this shop in specific. Highly reccommend, support your local businesses. You will not be dissapointed.

I really enjoyed trying this place for the first time. The drinks were great, the staff was awesome. I wish I could give it 6 stars... oh wait ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing. The teas are very delicious. I enjoy how you can also adjust the amount of sugar added to the drinks. My favorite is the Pink Grapefruit with Lychee popping boba with 50 percent sugar-definitely try it out!!

Lots of fun flavors. Easy to order at the counter, via the kiosk or before you get there.

I ordered the Fruity Lover and it used to comes with a variety of fruits. It was my favorite, but now it only has orange and lemon slices for the same price.

Top Tao is my go-to boba place in the north side. All of the staff SLAY— everyone is always so sweet and welcoming, and you can tell a lot of thought has been put into their extensive menu. There’s a drink to suit everyone’s taste. Thank you for serving my sister and me our boba fix besties!

I looooove their fruit juices !!

The taro coconut milk tea was decent and paired well with the coffee jelly.
The boba options and the fact you can select the sweetness level is big plus!!

I've been here a few times now, and after today's visit, I will not be returning. Not only was the bubble tea extremely mediocre each time, but Janet was very rude and her comments were uncalled for. She called that my drink was ready, I come over to get it, and instead she ignores me for another customer while I stand and wait. I wait for a few minutes but after long enough I just go to grab my drink since I don't have 5 minutes to wait for her after she already announced that it was ready, after which she basically tells me I should've waited even though she already told me it was ready. Horrible horrible behavior and she really shouldn't be wearing such revealing clothes while at work. It's quite unprofessional and I think she just needs to show off her stomach to distract from her ugly face and rude personality.

the large size is LARGE. a bit pricey, but you're paying for the free toppings and the big sizes, so it's worth it imo. I got the (large) Dragon fruit kumquat fruit tea, amazing. huge. my head for scale.also: bathroom was nice and staff was friendlyedit: came back again, got more drinks, all amazing! from left to right of the four drinks, it's: mango crema smoothie, guava passion fruit juice, fruity tea, and taro coconut milk sago. (names not 100% accurate lol). ALL WERE SO GOOD! 10/10! will be coming back soon to try the rest of the menu ?

Order by touch screen, super fast, clean bathroom. The boba was super chewy and fresh and the tarp was very flavorful. A little grainy but expected.
