I love the milk tea here. Best in Chicago Chinatown. I like how the tea is strong but not overpowering and there's a good balance between tea and milk. read more

I've had Molly Tea before but they never fail to exceed expectations with the deep tea flavor in all their drinks as well as high quality taste. I tried the Jasmine, and I've had the matcha, and I like that you can really taste the tea. Nothing is overwhelmed and the flavors of the sugar and milk all complement each other. I wish I lived closer because I'd visit all the time read more

Tea was decent but took so long even though there weren't too many people there! Also, it's expensive for what you get. Options are also pretty limited. Not sure if I'd go back. read more

Matcha jasmine milk tea had a fragrant tea flavor that was delicious. Peach tianguanyin oolong tea had a light refreshing tea flavor. Didn't taste a strong peach flavor though. Service was fast and the staff can speak Chinese. Ambience is beautiful with cute photo opportunities and a self checkout kiosk. The entire store smells has a light jasmine tea fragrence which was very pleasant. read more

I've never had Molly tea before, but I'm glad I came in! The drinks were great. Though the place was very busy, they were pumping out drinks very quickly. I didn't have to wait long at all. The drinks are VERY expensive however, though most tea places like this are. Two medium drinks were 17 dollars. Consider the pricing if you're coming in. read more

Drinks were good, not too sweet, and customizable. Service was fast even on a busy Thursday. Ambiance is aesthetically pleasing but limited seating if you have a big group. read more

I love a good opening bogo deal! A lot of people but the line moves really fast! Overall pretty sweet, would get 0% sugar next time. Crystal boba seems a little different than normal not sure why. Jasmine milk tea was too floral for me. White champaca on the lighter side, and gardenia was just perfect. Closing thought - All the drinks tasted like milky floral drink but no tea. read more

I ordered Molly Tea a few times now- the most recent time, I got their jasmine milk tea and their jasmine mango smoothie. Love their jasmine milk tea- I get it with regular ice and 50% sugar, because I don't like my drinks super sweet at 50% is perfect. As other yelpers have mentioned, this is a solid choice and is consistently good. I personally think their jasmine mango smoothie is the sleeper hit on the menu though!! I get it also at 50% sweetness with regular ice and it's plenty sweet. It's the best mango pomelo sago in the Chicagoland area in my opinion - I've had some great versions on the west coast, and this rivals some of the best in LA. So glad we have Molly tea here in Chicago - will be back for sure! read more

In my experience, the staff here are extremely rude. They send out text messages promoting a collectible pin, but when I made the trip, placed an order, and opened my bag, the pin wasn't inside. Instead of offering an apology, the barista simply said, "It should be inside, but here." This kind of behavior reflects very poor service. If you're short-staffed, hire more people. If you're unhappy with your job..?especially during promotions...perhaps reconsider working those shifts. Why employ someone at minimum wage for an hour to serve customers with such an attitude? A franchise exists to attract, not drive away, customers. The whole point of the pin promotion is to create a fun, memorable experience, yet I left feeling deeply disappointed. read more

I love Molly Tea. I first had it when I was traveling in Asia two months ago. If you love jasmine milk tea then this is the place where you will find the best jasmine milk tea ever. On grand opening day, I waited like an hour for my drink, and thought it was totally worth it. This is probably the best milk tea place in Chicago Chinatown. I tried other flavors, but at the end of the day, I still think their premium Jasmine milk tea is probably still the best. I love the fragrance/consistency of the tea. I think their price is fairly reasonable for what you're getting. I will definitely be back whenever I am in Chinatown. I think I would enjoy it more without the whole crowd on their grand opening weekend because I love the little space that they have inside where you can sit down and have a milk tea with your friends or it can also be like a super cute date place. read more

I finally got to try Molly tea! I went for a few recommendations : premium Jasmine milk 70% sweet, peach oolong milk 70% sweet, and Gardenia ice tea 0%. Milk teas are floral, milky and not too sweet. The Gardenia hit the spot, super smooth and refreshing. It was a great treat from Chicago!! read more

The drinks are good. They have a floral note and their recommendation of 70% sugar with less ice is good. But my goodness if I want drinks from this place I think I'll just order online for delivery. I walked in and they have a promo going on with some cart by the entrance and signage for where the line starts wasn't clear. I ended up standing by some girls for 5 mins when I finally asked if it was the line and they said "no" and that they were waiting for their drinks. Basically the entrance was crowded. When I got to the registers to order, the girl who stood there looked at me, then walked away. Zero acknowledgement. Another girl was doing something with the register and acknowledged me about a minute later. The register that she used for some reason wouldn't take my Apple Pay so we had to switch over to another register. I ordered two drinks straight off the menu. I feel like I waited 10-15 mins for my two drinks. There were three orders that came after me that got their drinks before me. There were 10 people behind the counter, 3 people working intensely, 2 people working, and 5 just standing around. I'm not sure if they were in training or what but they just stood there. Getting my drink, the girl just kinda stared at me and slowly gave me my drinks in a bag. Honesty it was such an odd experience. Also, the promo thing they had going on gave out card stock and the bag design is awful because it'll just cut into your hands if you carry anything in it. read more

First of all, I'd like to praise the organization of the grand opening! For obvious reason, there's a wait on the orders cause everyone was there supporting the grand opening! but the business was prepared and have many people to ensure a smooth process from ordering to getting your drink so kudos to them! I also love the design of the business, it's modern yet classy, definitely will be an elevated experience to be in their shop enjoying a nice cup of jasmine tea. We ordered the jasmine matcha tea and the premium jasmine tea with whipped cream, they tasted pretty similar with a strong jasmine floral scent. The tea itself isn't super strong so it was refreshing. They recommended 70% sugar as their tea isn't very sweet. I opted for 30% and it was perfect for me. They have a great selection of tea and they all sounded very tasty and refreshing, I'd love to try out the other tea selection too! read more

Waited 45 minutes for two drinks, were doing all the orders that came in after us. We asked one time with the guy and three times with the woman and nothing. They finally admitted that they missed our order and started making the drinks. Completely ignoring us and said sorry without meaning any of it. Gave a super ugly keychain that i really don't need as a gift. Thanks but no thank you. Costed me 20bucks for the two drinks and 20bucks for parking read more

Wow this shop was luxurious! Everything from the cups to takeaway bag screamed quality, and the tea itself was excellent to match. Ordered the premium jasmine milk tea and the flavor got better the more I drank. read more

Really fast for Molly tea location. I've tried the one in Flushing and had a really long wait but this was reasonable, maybe 5-10 min wait.

The service is fast and professional and the products are good. I love the atmosphere considering how busy it always is I don't know if I'd recommend it as a study spot but definitely a cute little place to sip quality tea. read more

I would say worth the hype online. We went here on a Tuesday evening. Totally no line. I had their white champa tea, something like that. And my friend had their classic jasmine tea. It was very flavorful! It's like drinking flowers. Very refreshing. read more
