I come here waaaay too much, it will become your new addiction. The tapioca boba is so good! I love their milk teas and Thai tea. They also have a fun punch card where you can get your 10th drink free!Dietary restrictions: Offer multiple milk options

Had someone drop off various boba teas from here as a treat and they were so delicious. The Thai iced tea and brown sugar were both a perfect combo of the drink and chewy boba.

I’ve been craving some Popcorn Chicken, so I thought I'd try this place on UberEats. Unfortunately, the chicken looked like fast food nuggets, and it was so dry and tough that I felt like I was doing jaw exercises. The sweet chili sauce they gave me was only half full, and the seasoning was so bland that I had to resort to using ketchup. I think I'll pass on ordering from there again. 1-star for effort.

Some of the best boba in the city! Besides great service and rewards programs, they also have awesome snacks options - the Taiwanese chicken bites being the best. It's a perfect salty pairing with the not too sweet boba. I recommend the Oolong Milk Tea for a more umami flavored boba!

Super quick Boba Tea. I wanted a treat before getting back to work. I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Tea 50% sugar. I was satisfied with my drink and quick service. This location is super easy. Right off Western near Police Station and Marianos. Plenty of free parking. Inside there are two kiosks or you can order at the cash register. I liked that my order was done within two minutes. Some places take forever to make your order when it wasn't that deep. Will be back to try their fruit teas!!!
Ten Cafe is located off of Western Avenue and Roscoe (Roscoe Village) in the strip plaza; watch out for google maps giving iffy directions to this destination.Ten Cafe is super cute and aesthetically put together with their friendly staff who know their stuff. Customers that I experienced in my short visit are a mixed bag, however; laid back and casual but there were also some suburban Karen vibes present but that’s neither here nor there. Our order for a party of three consisted of seaweed salad, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, chocolate rolled ice cream with boba topping and two types of boba; taro milk cloud w coconut milk and passion fruit popping boba and Brown Sugar Boba Tea with Tapioca boba.I would love to see a kids menu option here (it would help immensely by helping to avoid decision fatigue ) as well as caffeine free boba drink options for those who don’t love tea but enjoy boba.

I went to Ten Cafe with a few friends 2 days ago. I ordered a chocolate rolled ice cream, Mango milk tea with Tapioca.The ice cream was so delicious and great presentation! Milk tea was fresh also tapioca was perfect. Me and friends enjoyed all the food and drinks.Will come again soon!
Had the Thai Coffee, best cold coffee I've had. The seasoned French fries were perfect. The chicken 'bites' were excellent and the shrimp was delicious, cooked to perfection. On vacation from near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Will return upon next visit to the city of Chicago, Illinois. Thank you, owner and all staff. :)
Food is always amazing. Favorites are popcorn chicken, shake shake fries and the Takoyaki.

My sister-in-law was in the mood for popping boba all day so we stopped at Ten Cafe on our way home. The interior was clean and nicely decorated throughout with a good amount of small tables and seating available. They have two kiosks near the entrance for ordering but the staff kindly asked myself and others who came in while the kiosks were both being used to order at the counter. My brother got the purple grape oolong tea with lychee popping boba and his wife got the passionfruit green tea with passion fruit popping boba and they both really liked theirs although she did say that the drink was still a little sweet for her taste even at 25% and that she'd probably order 0% sweetness next time. I usually get brown sugar drinks when I go to boba places but I was intrigued by the Yunyueng (coffee milk tea) options so I went to the counter to ask for some more information and they gladly explained them. The staff member let me know that the drink I was ordering was considered strong by some but I went ahead and decided to give it a try anyway. They also explained that there was a 5 min wait on regular tapioca pearls as they were finishing up a fresh batch but I didn't mind. The drinks of myself and 5 other customers were made very quickly once the pearls were ready. The Yunyueng did have a strong black tea and coffee taste that was quite bitter at first but once I stirred up the boba/syrup I grew to enjoy the mix of flavors. That being said, I'd probably order a brown sugar drink if I find myself at Ten Cafe again. P.s. We didn't get any food but the options did look pretty appealing if the photos on the menu are really indicative. My nose noted that something was being fried on my way back from the bathroom and it smelled so good.
This boba is transcendent ???
