50 Best Bubble Tea near Skokie

“Just wow. Ali and his team is fire 🔥
We tried the mini pancakes with milk chocolate and strawberries and the peach mango smoothie we come here very often and get the exact same thing and love it absolutely. Ali goes above and beyond in terms of service. Will recommend it 10/10.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!!“

“This place just opened and its fantastic! The best Thai milk tea ive had. Most places it seems uses a Sweetened mix but here you actually taste the fresh brewed tea. And the tapioca boba has good flavor and the perfect texture. My daughter loves the oreo ice blend also. Tastes just like eating a cookie.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Soooo Good..!!!! 💯💯💯👻👻👻👻👻“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“This is one of the best Boba shops in Roger's Park. When I'm in the area, I enjoy taking a walk over to get a drink here. TBaar has an extensive menu of drinks and food. I enjoy having lots of options and the ability to try something new each time I visit. The shop is beautiful and always clean. The employees are friendly and hard working. On this visit, I ordered the Brown Sugar Bubble Coffee. It was really good. I have ordered milk teas, green teas and lemonade from here, all which have been delicious. This place is definitely a must stop if you want a great drink while in Roger's Park!!“

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

“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.“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Super cute spot with friendly staff!

Love the variety here of mochi donuts, Korean corn dogs, and drinks! They have a rotating menu of specialty flavors every week for the donuts. I really enjoyed the yuzu refresher-esque drink I had! It wasn't too sweet,

They have some seating in the front and in the back. Love they also host events with various groups in the area.

Metered street parking is available and public trans is accessible.“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“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.“

“I love the drinks and food“

“It’s WILD how good this place is. I’ve been literally dozens of times, always amazing. Haven’t missed once on something off the menu, but faves for sure are Rose Matcha with snow cream, Mango Green Tea both original and Passion Fruit. Staff is always so helpful as I bumble my way through trying something new 😂.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Very delicious and great customer service!“

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

“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!“

“This place is always a winner with their delicious drinks! So unique and so satisfying! Love all the textures and combinations! I would try everything if I could!“

“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!“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“Taichi Bubble Tea, Ramen and Poke Bowl is a fantastic spot that consistently delivers fresh, delicious, and high-quality meals. Whether you are craving a refreshing bubble tea, a comforting bowl of ramen, or a perfectly assembled poke bowl, their menu is consistently top-tier, flavorful, and hits the mark every single time. I place an incredibly high premium on kitchen cleanliness and dining 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 stress-free. The staff is consistently friendly, efficient, and does a wonderful job of ensuring that service is prompt and attentive. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality, and consistently clean dining experience!“
