50 Best Bubble Tea near Skokie

“The guy running this place is just great. He was super accommodating. Even went so far as to tell me that the freeze flavor I selected wasn't the best. Said he would let me try it, but if I didn't like it he'd make me something else (Thai Tea Freeze... Funky... Just like he said). He was true to his word and made me a lavender freeze for no extra cost that was totally delicious. I'll definitely come back. 100 stars for quality of customer service.“

“i love this small business 😚 they’re always super friendly and kind. my fav is the brown sugar milk tea and their thai tea is also yummyyyy ◡̈ come support their cute small business!!!“

“such polite staff and delicious drinks. this was my first time there and they were so patient while I made up my mind lol“

“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“

“Their Jasmine Hot Tea with egg nog boba was delicious!!! Loved the cup with heart stopper ❤️. So cute. This hot drink has been the best hot drink I’ve tried this year! To top it off I noticed they had games you can play, so this is great for a group of friends or family! Also plenty of parking!“

“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 just wanna say their bento boxes are sooo good. Like whoever making them back there putting their all into it cause it’s so good and perfect. They are also well accommodating to request. Everything taste so fresh. Staff is also really nice and attentive!!!“

“There was a really bad accident this morning ...a car flew into the store and destroyed everything and now boarded up. for anyone wondering...no one was injured thank goodness...they are temporary closed until everything goes back in place... for the person who left a 1 star review because they closed...Shame on you! There are high school kids and young adults working there..someone could've been hurt or injured..things could be worst! To post a 1 star review without wondering why is the most ignorant thing I've seen.. ..we hope sharetea comes back up and running again soon!“

“So came across this place on my walk and love boba tea so I stopped in. I got the chicken sandwich and fries for a great deal ($8) and I must say I’m very impressed. The sandwich taste fresh, I got less spicy spice level and the chicken is nice and juicy. The sandwich has some really good flavor. Not hard at all which I love cause I hate getting sandwiches with hard chicken. I paired with a spicy mayo.

Just earned a new customer. Love the indoor seating as well and they got free wifi!

Thank you!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“Organic and not powdery at all! Very sweet so I recommend 50% sweet to start. Kinda expensive but worth it! Their boba is made in a special marinade so it’s better than the average!“

“So happy I stumbled upon this place! I ended up coming here two separate times during a weekend trip because I liked it so much. The first time I got the classic banh mi and an oolong milk tea. The banh mi had the perfect ratio of toppings and I had no complaints with it. The milk tea was a little sweet for my taste, so next time I think I would ask for less sugar. The second time I came I tried the vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken skewers. The fish sauce is garlicky and spicy and everything tasted fresh. They also have sugarcane juice which was delicious. The service here is excellent and the staff is so friendly! Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back to try more of their menu.“

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

“I was just passing through on a solo trip and saw how cute this shop looked on the outside and decided to duck in! Super cute and cozy atmosphere for being a smaller shop, featuring super cute croissant waffles and the best peach oolong tea I've encountered. And I've tried A LOT of Bubble Tea places. I'll keep this place on my radar when I come back!!“

“Soooo Good..!!!! 💯💯💯👻👻👻👻👻“

“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.“

“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!“

“Place fell off drastically. It used to be so good

UPDATE: They invited me back for a free drink And sincerely apologized for my last visit not being great. Can confirm this spot is still good! And the customer service is great.“

“I love this specific location of Uni Uni because the staff are sweet and helpful. Today I walked in and the store was pretty empty except for an employee and a man who I think was a supervisor or manager. He was loudly berating his employee because she said he shouldn’t allow people to come in after closing and continue to order when they need to close the store and be out on time. He insisted that respect goes both ways and cited employees reading or being on their phones while it was slow. It was pretty disappointing to hear someone of authority equate these two actions when one forces employees to do extra labor and one is relatively harmless. The drinks I ordered came out quickly and the girl behind the counter was the sweetest. I hope their managers treat them better.“

“Honestly when looking at reviews, I disagree with all the negative feedback. Working with customer service has really taught me customers are never fully satisfied especially if they’re picky and just plain miserable. If you don’t like something why go and spread hate. The place is clean, affordable, and delicious 10/10 would come back. Keep up the good work. Plus it was my first time coming and they gave me this free little reusable bear water bottle 🙂‍↔️“

“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.“

“The service was great. I enjoyed a Brown Sugar Milk Tea made by Octavian. They were the only worker at the time and were managing all the orders well. Despite being busy Octavian took the time to tape my drink up so I could carry it in my bag. Will visit again!“

“It's a convenient bubble tea shop inside of The Shops at North Bridge mall. The order kiosk is user friendly and easy to use. The drinks can be customized for individuals who have dietary needs. Highly recommend this place for bubble tea if you visit the Shops at North Bridge mall.“

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

“We ended up here twice on a recent visit to Chicago. Located in Wicker Park, Uni Uni is conveniently located between a variety stores. On our second trip, they offered to let us sample some of the toppings as we noted that my daughter wasn't a fan of the crystal boba that she got on her last visit. She ended up substituting the crystal boba for the strawberry popping boba. The drinks were delicious, the staff was helpful and the restaurant was adorable.“

“TBaar is a fantastic, refreshing neighborhood spot that consistently delivers high-quality, flavorful, and incredibly fresh bubble tea and juices. Every time I visit, the drinks are prepared perfectly, and it is clear they use fresh ingredients that make for a consistently delicious and satisfying treat. I place an incredibly high premium on kitchen cleanliness and service area maintenance, and I am consistently impressed by how tidy, well-organized, and professionally kept this space is—it is clear that they take immense pride in upholding the highest standards of hygiene and order, which makes every visit incredibly pleasant and comfortable. The staff is consistently friendly, efficient, and does a wonderful job of ensuring that service is prompt and that every guest feels welcome. If you are looking for a reliable, top-tier destination for a refreshing drink that prioritizes both quality ingredients and professional cleanliness, I highly recommend TBaar“

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

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“The donuts were not only cute in appearance, but also very delicious, with just the right sweetness and a variety of flavors available.
The atmosphere of the shop and the staff were also very pleasant, and I would like to visit again.
Thank you for the wonderful treat.“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“I love the drinks and food“

“The popcorn chicken and egg waffle were very good. Excellent place to hang out and enjoy some bubble tea and great snack foods😋!“

“The Banh Mi sandwich was honestly one of the best ones I've ever had. The lemongrass chicken was juicy and flavorful. The bread was exactly how it should be (crunchy outside, soft and fresh inside). All the veggies (carrots, daikon, cilantro, cucumbers) were fresh. The sauce was a perfect amount which brought everything together beautifully.“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.“

“highly recommended. She owned the Philippine resto next to mart and the food is really good and affordable.“

“Such a delicious treat in any kind of weather.“

“I still think about this place when I see coconut matcha anywhere. Stringria has the best coconut matcha latte and my other favorite is the watermelon jasmine tea with coconut milk. The coconut milk here tastes creamier and stronger. I cannot find these drinks anywhere else. Both are refreshing and delicious.“

“Drinks and efficiency are 5/5. Best fruit tea in the area. It’s super cute with the couch and flowering tree, there’s some games, and good music. Accessibility is poor tho. I am using a temporary mobility aid, and there’s a couple inch step before the first door, plus no button to automatically open the doors. The path to the bathroom today was also very narrow due to lots of boxes, and I couldn’t get my wheelchair in (at least today). Seems like fixable things; add a small cement ramp by the door, clear the hallway, add a door button. :) I really do love this place overall and have even gotten a cute plushie keychain here too!“

“Casual, affordable place. I had the wide noodle Pad Thai with tofu and it was good. Friendly customer service and no pressure. Go here if you want to relax and have some decent food. I've been here a few times. Oak Park is charming as well.“

“This is a great place to get food, it’s all delicious and not that expensive..“

“Very delicious and great customer service!“

“Best pho north of Chicago!! We will definitely come back even though it’s about a 30 min drive for us! Great service and great food!“

“Deliciousness, try Taiyaki. It is so good!“

“Very clean and aesthetic boba spot. Our server was Tonya she was very sweet and accommodating. Our family ordered Nutella Vanilla Bean, Mango boba, Horchata and passion fruit ice cream. All were great. Passion fruit ice cream is a must try!!! Love to see 🇵🇸 representation at our local businesses ♥️♥️♥️“

“great food I love the atmosphere and culture when you walk in .the server is really nice she shows great customer service skills and she is beautiful too but I will definitely recommend this to anyone“
