Tea Restaurants near Skokie, IL

“We went for a Tea Tasting. Laura was our server. She was full of knowledge and educated us on new teas we never would have tried. Truly an awesome experience!“

“Had a great experience with my husband. It is a charming tea shop where the owners are so welcoming and often checking in on guests. Our hostess made tea recommendations for our afternoon tea and no drop was left in our teapots! Which speaks volumes because my husband is not a tea lover at all. Thank you Tealula!“

“We were very pleased to get great service from employee Simone. She was very knowledgeable, helpful. Pleasant to do shopping with outstanding service“

“the delicious waffles and crepes and delicious smoothies and REFRESHERS AND TEAS“

“I’m new to Chicago and work nearby. Been searching around for a good boba spot around the area and found this spot earlier today for lunch. Love that ube is becoming a thing and they had a good selection of drinks and dessert made with it. It paired well with my LUMPIA lol. Anyways, i don’t normally leave reviews, but this place deserved it for sure. The female that was working on the counter this afternoon was all by herself and I don’t know how she did it, but kudos to her. She made me a good drink. I’ll definitely be coming back and try their other selections for sure.“

“Great variety of boba and traditional fruit smoothies. I got the brown sugar boba, non dairy, made with black tea as well. PLEASE remember to shake it before you put the straw in it cause flavor is key here. Tapioca is made fresh you can taste it, tea brewed perfectly and it’s delicious. Atmosphere is so cute. I recommend this place to anyone who likes boba or anyone who wants a fresh fruit smoothie! Great variety of flavors and milk options which isn’t common!“

“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!“

“This is definitely a great place to be. There were a lot of people in the evening and they were having a lot of fun. The room itself was cozy and nice. The breakfast in the cafe was great. To be honest, I loved the place, it was full of energy.“

“I’ve had their tea before, and I can genuinely say the quality is on another level. Their blends are pure, carefully sourced, and full of intention — especially the Blue Lotus, which is incredibly rare to find in its authentic form. Many fakes are circulating out there, but this company is the only one in Chicago I’ve found that carries the real thing.

Some people might react to the prices without understanding the quality, dedication, and process behind each tea. These are not your average store-bought teas — those are often filtered or diluted. These teas are crafted to target specific functions within your body, offering you the full, natural experience as it’s meant to be.

If the price feels outside your budget, that’s completely okay — you always have the choice to pass. But it’s important to recognize the value of what’s being offered before criticizing it. There’s no hate in saying this, only respect — for both the craft and for people’s awareness of their own decisions. Quality has a story, and this tea truly tells it.

Just to clarify — their teas are sold by weight, not volume. Each blend has its own natural density, so some bags may look fuller or lighter even if they weigh the same. That’s simply the nature of real, unprocessed herbs. You’re still getting the full amount you paid for, measured with care and accuracy. It’s all about quality over illusion.“
