Just found my new favorite bubble tea spot in the neighborhood! I usually get bubble tea when I'm in China town or uptown neighborhood but was surprised when I found this place without having to take a drive. Ordered pickup online and my first order was ready in just a few minutes. I had the mango smoothie with Lychee popping boba. Smoothie was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the teas. read more

The drinks are really good. It was my first time being in that place. The lady was nice and variety of selections on tea. The dragon fruit was really good and like to stop in there next time. read more

The boba was 10/10-- arguably some of the best boba i have had within the chicago-land area. Did not taste powdered or artificial-- and the sweetness was just perfect. Service was kind, nice ladies working at the front. However, this being near a college i was hoping it would be a nice place to study-- but it was not. No wi-fi, the tables and the ambiance are sub-par, no outlets, and it was freezing in the seatings the provided. It's not the dirtiest, but it's not the cleanest either. Would definitely come back for their drinks but not to study in the cafe :(( read more

Love love love this boba place. The atmosphere inside is very chill with games you can play with and enjoy while drinking your boba. The workers are all so kind and sweet. The cashier was giving me her honest opinion when I made an order and I really appreciated that. The drinks are delicious. The tapioca is good and not bland. Definitely coming back here to try out other drinks. read more

Gosa Tea - Lychee Tea with lychee jelly and tapioca - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I have a lot of bubble tea spots in my area; but I've wanted to try Gosa's "Ocean Milk" because it's an eye catching drink to me. I ordered a large Ocean Milk with brown sugar boba; it was pretty pricey for a drink at $9 and some change. The majority of Tea spots price their drinks within the 5-6 dollar range so I was pretty blown away how a milk tea could cost about $10.00 for one. I got my drink and it sure looked beautiful with the blue, white, brown swirls that resembled the Ocean. It didn't have much of a flavor and I tasted more of the brown sugar boba. The drink is beautiful from the aesthetic point of view but flavor wise; it's nothing to rant and rave about. The boba was also a little too soft for me and not the texture I usually like. I'm glad I got to check this off my list of things I want to try. I probably won't come back because the drinks here are pricier and the milk tea spots in my area make excellent milk tea options for a much affordable price. They also don't have self ordering kiosks where you can control and customize the drink to your liking; you have to verbally order over here. read more

Yano I was so excited to finally have a boba spot near my house, but it didn't live up to my expectations sadly. The overall store is so cute inside with all the decor and new furniture. I love that they even have games for customers to use while enjoying some boba. I ordered the roasted oolong milk tea with boba and my boyfriend got the taro milk tea. Their cups are not your traditional cups which I thought was nice for a change. But let's get to the boba... The overall quality of the milk tea was ehh. It was very watered-down and the flavor was lacking. The boba was way too soft. I'm not sure if you are able to adjust the sweetness level at this place. And I paid like $15 for 2 drinks which is pricey especially for the poor quality. read more

Gosa Tea - Brown Sugar Boba Milk (includes tapioca) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great atmosphere. Love the music. Staff is fast and polite. Ordered the chai tea. Very excited to try it!

I wanted to like "Gosa Tea" really bad because my neighborhood could use a bubble tea shop like this. However, I could only render 3.5 stars. Based on the mathematic rule, I rounded up to an integer. Therefore, it defaulted to four (4) stars for this review! First of all, "Gosa Tea" used a catchy bright yellow as the primary color for their decors. Chairs and booth seating seemed to be comfortable for people to hang out and relax. However, I would say their beverages were the weakest link. I was not sure if the sugar level could be customized since I never asked. Drinks came out on a sweeter side, and I tended to like mine without much sugar or without sugar at all. In addition, the sugar often times saturated to the bottom of the cup. I would say shake it well prior to consuming it. I believe I ordered brown sugar matcha bubble tea every time I came. I hated to say it was just an ok and did not wow me whatsoever. I would be willing to give other items a try, yet it would require some customization in order to suit my tastebud. Once again, "Gosa Tea" is a very cute bubble tea place, and this attractive business should stay in the neighborhood as long as it can. Nevertheless, I will be dishonest if I say I am a fan. There are competitions in other neighborhoods in the city and some of them are indeed my preferred choices to go for my treats at this time. read more

Update a lot new drinks for every season. For awhile, I see so many options now. Fast, great service. The remodel at the counter makes store more bright and organized. read more

Gosa Tea - Strawberry Milk Tea I forgot to take one earlier lol but I love it - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The boba is amazing, I don't think I've ever had such great boba. After my boyfriend taking me here I refuse to go anywhere else. It is delicious! We always get and recommend the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea and the Mango Smoothie with boba! Service is good could be a little better but overall good. And the ambiance is really nice, they have fun games you're able to play and enjoy. Although I do have to say part of the place is covered in boxes which isn't as pleasing. read more

Good but way too pricy. We had the taro tea with taro pudding & cream cheese... really good. Thai tea with Boba also good. $17 for two drinks was just too much for two bubble teas. Enjoyed drinking tea while playing Jenga tho! read more

Very cute little place, still feel the same! The tapioca is fresh, and the bursting boba is amazing! I've tried the mango and honey flavors and love them. I usually get the peach milk tea and the honey lemon green tea and they're phenomenal! However I have tried other fruit teas and I've never had one I disliked! They also have some games for you to play while you wait for your drink, or hang out. Everyone is very kind and the drinks come out quickly ! read more

The ambiance is okay, some areas look like they just moved in but have been looking like that for a while. The service depends on who is on the register. The drinks are a hit or miss. Sometimes they taste really good and at times, it either tastes bland or too sweet. Would be nice if they were consistent! read more

Boba is very tasty, tapioca is nice and warm. Service could be faster if you're the only one there but I understand you still have to make it. I come here once in a while on a hot summer. read more

Strawberry smoothie with mango popping boba! Super good. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Gosa Tea - Ocean Milk Tea & Matcha Milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The bubble tea here I had was good, icey cold sweet and chewy little boba pearls at the bottom. Overall very solid brown sugar boba! But it's kind of expensive for what you get. I paid about $15 for two brown sugar milk teas, no extras. Just the boba tea as they come on the menu. I can get the exact same boba from numerous places in the area for about $5 each. If I was really wanting boba tea, I would still come here to get it. But only if theater places I go were not open/not convenient. read more

Glad to find a bubble tea place so close to our home!!! Love it. Love that they brew real tea and not just do those powdered stuff. Wife and I are fans of bubble teas and would drive far just to get a good cup. Glad have this available close to us. Before the grand opening we tried the oolong milk tea and roasted oolong milk tea with boba (ofcourse!) It's good. Glad to be able to control the sweetness level!! Then today we went for the grand opening and got the brown sugar boba and passion fruit tea. Place: vibrant, clean (it's new) and updated. Parking is always a plus! Boba: perfectly cooked, chewy. Not hard. Not overly mushy sticky. Just right. And this alone deserves a 5 star rating. Fruit Tea: Yum! Mixed well. The passionfruit was not overly tart. Its just perfect. Milk Tea: Here's my only criticism. I think their blend is a bit too milky for us. Since they are brewing their own tea, it helps to maybe make the 'tea-taste' stronger and highlight that taste. Maybe i could just ask them a bit less milk? Not sure how to tweak my ordering to get my perfect cup. Anyways, still a solid boba tea place! Will still come back for the convenience! read more

About time that Portage Park area gets another boba tea place! I've never been to the physical store but I have ordered takeaway through GrubHub from there since it opens. It would be nice if they participate in the GrubHub+ program so I don't have to pay extra delivery fees, but I get it, with Gosa Tea being a new business. As for the tea itself, I find this superior to the *very limited* options around here. There are also some creative flavors which you don't get - for example, the chocolate milk brown sugar bubble tea which is kind of my favorite. I am sure I will keep ordering and trying different flavors! read more

Gosa Tea - Brown Sugar Boba Chocolate Milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered a matcha milk tea with tapioca and a brown sugar tapioca milk. Both were good. They only have tea options, no frozen fruit which I feel kids would prefer. My daughter did like their tapioca. They do offer a lot of add ons to your tea. I got the taro pudding which was tasty. The aesthetic of the place is nice. It would be a nice spot to meet someone or study/work. Service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be returning to try other flavors. read more

The teas were good, but the prices were a little expensive for the milk teas. It is a cute place though.

Loves the roasted milk tea with crystal boba. Made to perfection. Plus great service!! read more

Gosa Tea - Roasted milk tea with crystal boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was excited to find a bubble tea shop near by for a refreshing drink. I placed my order and paid. I go and pick up my drink and noticed they made a mistake. I shared my drink should have been with milk. They updated me that my drink option didn't come with milk. I asked why would he ring me up with my order when you guys couldn't make it? She went on saying they will give my money back or I can reorder. As I said, I would reorder 10 people came into the store and she said I'd have to wait for my drink order after them. I am upset about the situation and then she ADDS I have to WAIT after 10 people. Horrible service!! Tip: correct your mistake before the 10 people and make it right for the customer. At that point I just took my drink and left. The melon fruit tea was okay, which is the only reason I gave them 1 star. read more

Great tea variety, nice ambiance. Very cute store front. Prices are descent. Nice to have a spot like this nearby

The jasmine green tea with tapioca was smooth, reminded me of Tea Top or TP Tea. The pearls were also a nice softer-chewy type. Prices in the city are higher overall, but it's still a pretty hefty amount for a medium that's somewhat small. The interior is pretty spacious with board games, seems like a nice place to hang out. There are parking spots available. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area, prices in the city just seem high in general.. read more

Very good, my daughter is a regular and has took several of her friends to check out Gosa Tea.

Great place for tea, but the staff should be more welcoming to their customers. They don't smile, greet, or say thank you. Customer service goes a long way. read more

We are big fan of bubble tea, so decided to give this spot a try. There many varieties it's overwhelming but I had the brown sugar milk tea which was delicious, the boba was not chewy and cooked perfectly. My friend had the Strawberry Dragon Fruit Tea and I'm definitely going back for that one. So close to my house. I'm glad they are in the neighborhood! read more

I had the strawberry milk tea and the Thai milk tea will boba. Both were very good and I hope to try all of their items.

Its really good and a good small business to support!! The place is so aesthetic and I absolutely recommend if your going to be hanging out with friends! read more
