50 Best Bubble Tea near Cicero

“Amazing drinks !! Definitely will be returning!!

Only concern is that there was only 1 girl running the whole place ( Was doing an amazing job by the way ) and it was not fair but also inconvenient because I had somewhere to be I just made a quick stop that turned out to take longer than expected.! Please be more mindful not only to employees but customers.“

“超正台灣滷肉飯、珍珠奶茶🧋氣氛歡樂滿滿😊“

“The owners are so wonderful and the environment is GREAT. Service was amazing and overall just a good place to go for a sweet treat with your family or just yourself lol“

“Before entering Chicago, I was thirsty and happened to buy a drink here by chance-it turned out to be a fantastic choice! I was blown away by how delicious it was. I ordered the passion fruit tea, which had jelly bits that added a fun, popping texture. It was so tasty! I highly recommend trying this spot when visiting Chicago. You won’t regret it!“

“We got the white champaca milk tea (30% sweetness) with crystal boba and it was PERFECT! ⭐️5/5

A bit on the pricier side ($8-9), but I was so impressed with the quality that I wasn’t even mad. A rare gem to find a boba place like this!“

“Super cute place! When I came in the big tablet was lagging and there were few people behind me, so I rushed with my order and well, I didn’t get what I wanted (not anyone’s fault). May this comment be gentle reminder, that if you anxious and not familiar with the menu - get on your phone and check it thoroughly without worrying of holding the line. They have big menu and on the website (not sure of that was on a tablet) they show calories and other stuff as well. Also on tablet I didn’t have an option of getting certain drinks on a toy cup, while online I had.
So if you overwhelmed, take your time!“

“Got to meet Peter at a wedding last night! Such a great idea. They must have made about 500 boba drinks in 3 hours. They were in and out quick, no mess, smiling... I'll definitely be by the shop to check it out!“

“Teamo has such a great vibe. It’s got this adorable panda and merch wall. The drinks feature seasonal options and were also donating a portion of sales to a charity. Tanghulu and mochi donuts are so colorful. It’s quite a large array of items, but I still come mostly for the drinks and the relaxing decor. I am hopeful that if these drinks get popular enough they will be as cheap as they are in Asia“

“This is such a great addition to our village. Great place for family to gather and have a yogurt, Boba tea, smoothies or my absolute favorite, Vietnamese Hot Coffee. Don't forget to support local businesses.“

“So many flavors to try. Tried the Taro milk tea and Lychee Like You with boba today. So good. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken has a great flavor - definitely try it!“

“I've been twice, and both times were lovely. it's both a fun and relaxing atmosphere and is a great place to just sit down and relax.“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“love hello jasmine! we’ve been coming here consistently since august and really appreciate the atmosphere since it’s so pretty and calm. also, the drinks are sooo good with so many flavors to choose from! this drink is the passion fruit and i love it sm!“

“It’s very tasteful and packed with flavor. The bowl of noodles looks very colorful and the essence of aroma smells really good. The broth tastes rich simmered perfectly, with layers of yummy spices, and slow-cooked amazing melt-in-your-mouth tender beef. For sure, a must try. A top 30 chicago food item!!“

“Went to pick up a sandwich next door at Firehouse, while waiting for it to be made I walked over to this MilkTea shop. First time having anything Boba, so I went in and had a few curious questions about the teas, drinks, extras ect. The cashier was super nice, answered all questions, I got the Chocolate Boba Milk Tea and I thought it was great. The tapioca was good too. The place is very clean, neat, the bar area was also tidy and well kept. I saw there was a screen off to the side where you can order in case there’s a bit of a line at the cashier which was nice. Will be coming back to get a smoothie or something different from the selections next time.“

“Glad to have found a good Vietnamese restaurant in River North. My husband and I go there at least twice a month. We love the pho there, I especially love the pho bo vien. Their vermicelli with grilled chicken is also great, very refreshing during the hotter months. I keep ordering their bac xiu coffee so I haven’t gotten around to try other drinks on their menu yet.“

“Bestbest the best!“

“My favorite boba spot! I love this chain. I tend to get the peach slush with cheese foam, and recently tried the yogurt with crystal and it was yummy - trying to branch out and try their other drinks and so far nothing has disappointed me! The mozzarella sticks though.....I have been looking for amazing mozzarella sticks for years and I think I finally found the perfect mozzarella stick. Of course to each their own, but do not miss out on trying them!“

“The bubble tea is amazing and delicious, but i was so surprised that you need to purchase the boba separately. So I ordered my bubble tea and thought that they are asking if i need extra boba, i pressed no, and it ended up having it with the tapioca balls! But the friendly staff fixed it immediately! Love it!“

“First time here and my boba was delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful choosing a drink. I will definitely be back and bring my daughter!“

“Legit bubble tea! Hot fresh takoyaki! What a pleasure.“

“Am avut experiența de a încerca băuturile acestui brand de băuturi, am băut foarte multe alte băuturi de la alte firme și este o diferență extremă. Băuturile chiar sunt fără coloranți, zahărul este foarte,foarte puțin iar aceasta firmă merită din plin maximul stelelor posibile !! Felicitări conducătorului și să o țineți tot așa !!!“

“This place is pretty, warm, has inside seating, is inside the mall in 88 market. It’s decorated nicely. The teas are well priced in that they are not overpriced. They make the teas fresh. It’s a $0.65 cent up charge for bubbles. So it’s very reasonable. Enjoyed the tea here and will return. Clean, pretty, nice freshly brewed tea and charge of bubbles or crystals are slightly cheaper than other places … tasted good.. can ask for less sugar .., nice seating even if it’s small … inside 88 market so nice to shop after or before tea. Inside is a nice ambience. It was also warm w heat blasting bc it’s still cold outside in Chicago like 35 degrees F. So it was cozy. Recommend Pure Tea.“

“Stopped in yesterday for the first time. Had the rose tea latte and it was the best I've ever had, hands down. I travel quite a bit, and have had rose tea lattes on literally all 4 sides of the country, but nothing compared to this! Can't wait to try more of their drinks!“

“Tea Monster has really great bubble tea. I got Lime & Passion Fruit Green (C1) and it was quite refreshing! The lid is also the best lid I’ve ever seen for bubble tea. It’s not a soft plastic lid that you puncture. It’s a hard top and it makes sure you won’t have any spillage at all.“

“Absolutely love their tea. It is a much needed treat during study sessions. �“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“Good desserts but fruits are canned fruits not freshly cut… I got the shaved ice with my friends. A big bowl with different fruit toppings. However, fruits taste like they’re out of a can. If they’re freshly cut, it becomes even more of a a question why the mangos, red beans, and pineapples taste like that. But friendly service, with free parking lot. Nice fun decorations for pre Halloween.“

“I went during the Agust D cup sleeve event! Very fun, social employees, and organized!“

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.“

“I was downtown craving boba at like 7pm, when a lot of boba shops were closed, and this vending machine came up on google, so I decided to try it! I got the roast oolong milk tea with agar and it was sweet and creamy and tasted the same as what I I would expect fresh from a boba shop. My only complaint is that I wish the different bubble teas were clearly labeled right in the vending machine. Instead, you have to go through and click on each one on the touch screen to find out what they are.“

“Rejoice! The place for some great Chinese teas had arrived near you! Yes, it does share the fad with the Taiwan born boba drinks. But our eye was caught by the nice website with images of nice teacups and ambiance. Only 23 miles away from home we discovered that the trip in a hot and still pandemic day was totally worth it. In few words owner, Shaolong picked the teaist vibes in us and offered us a great real experience of sharing a favorite tea - he introduced us to the wonders of Zhang Ping Shui Xian (漳平水仙). Unlike the real "black tea", the Pu-erh, this one also comes in bricks, yet is a type of oolong with an amazing floral scent. We were honored with 4 different samples which we are currently slowly and thoroughly testing (3 pics). And yes, the fermentation levels are different - some definitely will give you a great oolong taste, but others are just a unique elixir on its own. But back to the house itself. I see and hope for great unrolling potential. This could become a place for tea lovers and teaists in training. Why not theme days, classes, shared experiences, a club? We would join. The 23 miles are a drive, but there isn't much of a real tea-drinking place in our Chicagoland (unlike smaller cities in North America like Portland and Montreal). However, Living Water Tea House is a great promise and it totally won our full support! Keep the cups warm!“

“I love the drinks and food“

“Great bubble tea spot! We always come here when we're in the Wicker Park area. The lady working is very nice and she can even make a custom bubble tea if there's something you want that's not on the menu (like a lychee peach smoothie, mm!) What a boss. There's seating and washrooms. They're also friendly, fast, and the bubble tea is delicious.“

“This little shop is a perfect stop on your stroll along the Magnificent Mile, or on your way to Millennium Park. I am a long time lover of Boba! I decided to go with the Strawberry. It was refreshing, sweet and delicious! The Mango Popping Boba was fruity, tasted like real Mangoes. Service was friendly, fast, and the shop is kept very clean. I will be back for more!“

“Went today for the very first time and I absolutely love it! The prices are very reasonable and it tastes so good! Definitely will be returning.“

“great selection and customer service“

“Love the dim sum! Great service didn’t wait long at all! A place I will go back!“

“Omg all food was amazing … Worth every penny and more .. the staff super friendly and attentive..!! Kudos“

“Very delicious and great customer service!“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“Delicious boba tea! I had the Coconut milk tea with boba and my husband had the mango fruit with boba. This was our first time here! It was busy when we walked in with lines for those wanting to get there bubble / boba tea. There was a great menu of options to choose from and a nice sitting area to relax, and enjoy the drinks. Staff were quick and busy filling in the orders that were coming in. This is located in Chinatown near the Chinatown square. Great spot and delicious boba teas! We will definitely come back when we visit this area again!“

“The tea is great, but here's a few things to know :)

- You need a phone number to order,
- Doesn't accept cash, so you have to pay with card,
- Even if you have a coupon, you need an account to use it.
- The fruity teas are good, boba too, normal tea is good as well, but I don't recommend the milk foam that you can choose as a topping. Last time I picked it, it tasted sour/salty, which either means it was spoiled milk or somehow the foam was in contact with salt (?) honestly couldn't finish my tea cuz of the taste 😭

All in all a chill cafe if you know what to order!“

“My favorite is the brown sugar boba and the thai milk tea. :) It's pretty consistent, I always ask for extra ice just bc drinks are always better when they're iceyyyyy and cold.

A few staff members seem like teenagers so they didn't really care if there was a customer waiting for their drink for 10+ minutes while they sat down and chatted.“

“Legit bubble tea! Hot fresh takoyaki! What a pleasure.“

“Amazing place to chill and hangout with friends and to do some of your homework“

“I've never left a review on Maps before, but the service was so pleasant here that I felt compelled to!! The cashier was so friendly and greeted everyone who walked in + she was so considerate in preparing my order :) She also cleaned the tables so quickly after patrons walked in and out. So hardworking and sweet!! And my food was amazing 🩷🩷“

“The seasonal specials are not only creative but delicious! Tried the Carmel apple cider sundae. In a word fantastic! Worth the trip from Schaumburg! Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend. See you soon!“

“been here a few times, each is better experience that the last, attempt to try most of their items on menu. So far, my favorite is their Mango smoothies with cloud cheese, as drink. Their cloud cheese is really good and a balance of salty taste with the sweetness of the mango, the tapioca in the drinks is plentiful but not overpowering the water content. I had it in other Chinatown restaurants, some had too many tapiocas that my teeth were tired chewing them. Cuckoo is not. Their Don (Japanese rice bowls) and their bibimbap (Korean rice bowls) are excellent. Have not decide which is better because each have their own uniqueness and tastes; I had 2 types of their bibimbap before and only 1 type of their Don. So far, I am leaning towards the Don but there is excellent amount of veggie in their Bibimbap, which is ideal for weigh concise person. Wish they have a loyal customer rewards style of drinks incentives, much like some restaurants, for example, buy 9 and get 1 free drink, or some % off after 5 drink purchases, and give customers an advertisable nice pocket size reward card to keep track of their purchases. That may also work with food item purchases as well. Crossing my fingers that this may happen soon. With summer in Chicago, cool refreshing drinks is ideal and as loyal customers, return for more drink purchases with rewards will be even better.“
