Way too sweet and not customizable. Since there's plenty of empty slots, it'd be great if they can put in some options like "less sweet, half sweet, less sweet no boba, half sweet no boba, etc" read more

Honestly wayy better than I expected. We need more of these places and learn from Asia!! It was better than some of the boba stores I visited on my trip. No boba, but jellies and it's basically a giant refrigerator. Great service and chill price read more

After purchasing one of your teas from the ATM, I was thoroughly disappointed. First, product came off as healthy. Frutose, corn syrup and colorings are toxic and cause diseases. Then, attempting to open in order to drink this concoction was next to impossible. NEVER AGAIN! Couldn't give a 0! read more

I stumbled across a Mycha machine in Koreatown and was intrigued, so I tried one. I had pretty low expectations for vending machine boba, but I can honestly say Mycha beats out some physical places I've been to! I tried the mango jasmine tea and it was delicious. The price was on the low end compared to other boba places here at $4.25. I love that the drinks don't contain ice since the machine keeps them cool - I was a bit surprised at how much drink I got for the size, then realized I'm used to ice taking a good chunk of the drink volume away! I'm definitely going back to try more flavors! I'm interested in seeing whether the drinks containing jelly hold up well. I would love to see more of these machines throughout LA! read more

Surprisingly good! I've had my share of bubble tea and this one really hit the spot on a sunny day. Awesome to have this in an area without much tea options. No tapioca bubble options, which makes total sense bc they'd get soggy. They have options without and with agar jelly. We got lychee jasmine tea and jasmine milk tea. 5.75 for the large and 4.75 for small. read more

Like most people in the US in contrast to people in East Asia, this was my first time buying (boba/asian) tea drinks out of a vending machine. I've tried the Jasmine milk tea and the mango green tea. Other options included oolong milk tea, mango lassi, vietnamese coffee. Good variety and decent quality. Depending on how high your standards, I think some may not like the milk tea. It had a faint familiar taste of proper Jasmine milk tea but was weak overall. I could barely taste tea if at all. Mango green tea was better. Not too sweet and decent tea strength. I'll be generous and give 4 stars but idk if I'll try more drinks in the future and need to update my review. read more

I love the idea of 24 hour food vending machines especially this one that sells boba! If you are traveling on the red or blue line you can get access to this yummy treat. It was a little hard to find but it on the lower level across from the grilled cheese restaurant. I ordered the jasmine boba tea which was perfect on that hot summer day. Next time I am in block 37 I will definitely grab me a boba to go since this machine operates 24 hours. read more

I was super intrigued by the concept of a boba vending machine so I had to check this out! I got the Thai tea, which tasted better than I expected for being in a machine. I do wish there was nutrition allergen information listed, either on the machine or the drink. read more

Mycha - Thai tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

When I was pregnant, a nice, cold bubble tea was what I craved for. I found this bubble tea ATM at the lower level of Block 37 near the red/blue CTA stations on Yelp. Eventually, I had to control my frequency of visiting this "store" because it would be too much sugar in my system if I didn't manage to find a way to stop myself! I think I have tried almost all the flavors they offer. There is not a ton of choices: 7 or 8 of them at a time, depending on availability. "Mango Lassi" used to be my go-to since there was no (or less) caffeine in it. Nowadays I'm not so choosy and am willing to take in all the caffeine to keep my energy going: jasmine oolong tea and taro milk tea are my favorites...among all other favorites...lol. Please note that not all options carry tapiocas in the beverages. However, the large straws made for lifting these bubbles are typically in stock, even though there have been occasions that these items were out for the night. I usually would come in the evening times before heading to work, so I have seen some drink options are also out of for the time being. The prices are right in my opinion. A small cup costs around 4 to 5 bucks, while the large one costs around 5 to 6 bucks. The only bummer is that nothing is customizable if you want less sugar. There is no ice in the cup, but all of the drinks are kept in a refrigerated condition and I like the temperature just fine. I don't think the machine allows cash transactions, but plastics and electronic payments are accepted. read more

Boba from a vending machine?! You know I had to try it. I was pretty skeptical but both the Oolong and Thai milk teas were pretty tasty and fulfilled our boba cravings! The Oolong came with little jellies inside too. It's a little hard to find but you need to go to the lowest level and it's in a corner right next to the the red line entrance. Boba was standard pricing about $5. read more

Vending machine boba!! I love the idea of this - the ability to get bubble tea 24/7 is great. They also have other Asian snacks too. I'm also pleasantly surprised that it's restocked every day for freshness. The pearls aren't typical tapioca (which makes sense because those would get hard after sitting for a while) but it was still tasty. I'd be excited to see more customization options but overall, I'm a fan. read more

Really bad Mango Lassi - couldn't have more than two sips cuz of how bitter it was!! Disappointed. A small cup was $4.75 which isn't too bad but the quality/taste of the drink itself was extremely artificial. read more

Surprisingly good boba for a vending machine (even better than some boba places I've been to). Keywords: vending machine - I wasn't expecting that when I first heard about a boba place in the mall. (It's located at the lowest level across from Gayle's grilled cheese, by the redline pedway). Have never had issues with it needing restocking when I've gone during the afternoon or early evening. I've had the oolong, taro, and vietnamese coffee - all were pretty good (oolong is my favorite). It's typical pricing for boba even if it is in a vending machine instead of a real shop, but the taste is comparable so I'm fine with it. If you like to customize the sugar in your boba, obviously this isn't for you, but it's pretty good and convenient for the area. read more

Been here a few times now and you know what, it's pretty good! So far I've tried the roasted oolong bubble tea and the mango lassi and both were solid. The flavors could be a little stronger, but I appreciated the modest sweetness levels and that the bubbles had a good texture (and I think they were the healthier agar agar variety? Don't quote me on the "healthier" part, but they definitely were not the usual tapioca type - more jello-like). It's also nice to see the ingredients listed on the small sticker on the side of the drinks, and that they're all lactose-free. The size of the drinks is pretty decent for the price (~5$), too, and the machine seems to get restocked frequently. If you come at a good time there are quite a few different drinks available. Hoping to try the Vietnamese coffee or Thai tea on my next visit. read more

Good drinks. Taste fresh. Made daily. I love when drinks are cold and have no ice. Got the Vietnamese ice coffee and Jasmine milk tea. Direction: block 37, go all the way downstairs to the pegway(blue line / red line lightrail), look for the yellow amazon locker, Mycha machine is next to it. read more

I did not realize it was a vending machine. I walked around 37 Block for 20 minutes before realizing it was this tiny vending machine tucked in a corner behind the famer fresh machine. I was dubious about quality, and very worried that the lid would give when falling out of the machine, but all was okay! I got the vietnamese coffee. The straw was a boba straw, not a regular one, which was expected yet a little dissapointing. Overall it was good. I'm still nervous about some of the quality, but I think it was priced fairly and it's defintely convenient. Wish it wasn't tucked into the downstairs corner of a mall. read more

Don't make the same mistake that I made...this is a vending machine and it was totally empty when I arrived so ready for some boba! read more

Mycha - Empty - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Grab and go bubble tea is my new favorite afternoon treat. Love the jasmine milk tea, the oolong milk tea is also pretty good. The bubbles are agar and I really like the texture. My drink is always cold and refreshing. The only bad part is that sometimes I come by when the vending machine is empty! Would love to see more go up around the city. read more

I am a self proclaimed boba snob. I was honestly skeptical about milk tea from a vending machine, especially when I haven't found milk tea to my liking from store fronts in downtown Chicago. Most milk teas that I have tried are usually too watered down (so you cannot taste the tea flavor) and/or too sweet. Mycha actually blew my expectations. The tea flavor was strong, but not overly powerful and the sweetness was a tad sweeter than I would like, but not overly sweet. The price was very reasonable. While I appreciate some of the drinks had agar boba, I would have loved the teas to have tapioca (honey boba); however, I know boba doesn't stay good in a drink for too long, which is probably why there weren't drinks with the traditional honey boba. This is my go-to when I am in downtown Chicago. I hope they bring some vending machines to San Francisco. They also have five star customer service--I had an issue on my first visit and they were very kind and fast and went beyond the call of duty in making sure all was right. read more

Surprised how well it tasted for a vending machine. It's on the basement in the corner, so only complaint was it was hard to find. Price was fine, 5$ for a drink reasonably sized. There's a boba place that was 8$ across the street for "fresher" but I was happy with this for 5 and would gladly go again. No service or ambiance to speak or since it's just a vending machine read more

Such a cool idea! Vietnamese coffee from a vending machine. While it wasn't my favorite coffee it was good enough that I would return. The drink was fresh and the machine was easy to navigate. Next time I will try another drink. read more

This spot happened to pop up on Yelp and I decided to hunt for it inside the mall. BOBA VENDING MACHINE! Genius idea ! Now, at this point you're probably wondering -- how does this work? How does it taste? How much does it cost ?! Surprisingly all the stars were aligned and I think they did a great job executing this genius idea. I believe the drinks are made fresh (within 24-48 hours). The date made will be labeled. It tasted great! I'm a boba connoisseur. This isn't the BEST drink I've ever had but it's good enough where I'd be a returning customer. If this was a drink from a real life counter I'd grade it a 4/5. There was an assortment of variety from Thai milk tea, jasmine milk tea, viet coffee, and mango lassi. We ordered the viet coffee and mango lassi. While the viet coffee wasn't super authentic, it tasted good for a vending machine. I actually liked the mango lassi a lot. It didn't taste very syrupy or overly sweet. The product is solid. They also offered both small and large sizes. The small was about $4 and large $5. Different drinks will vary but they're all around that cost. I thought the cost would be a lot higher given the convenience. I think that price is very reasonable. I am looking forward to this idea being scaled all around the states. Great job! read more

Very mid quality, teas are too sweet. Taste like watered down juice. I got the lychee jasmine and the sugar leaves an uncomfortable aftertaste. The vending machine is located on B1, walk straight ahead if going down from escalators read more

If you want 24/7 Boba Milk Tea, THIS IS IT!! It was honestly hard to find, but searching for it was definitely part of the fun. The vendor seems to stock these fresh every day (the date code on the cup shows when it was made!). Check the video of my experience: https://youtu.be/V1UDPb5w2sY read more

Fresh, homemade tea with no preservatives, delivered through an innovative vending machine! What an experience to be able to get a high quality product through the convenience of a vending machine. The owners care about the overall customer experience which translates to everything from their beautiful logo, marketing campaign and fair prices. Highly recommended! read more

The convenience of it is amazing but the quality is just meh. Something to note I did come here randomly at like 1 am so I doubt I got anything freshly made or of the highest quality. Also it's a little tricky to get to after hours since you have to actually go in the subway entrance but I think the concept is amazing - who wouldn't want to get boba at all hours of the day? read more

I don't recommend! I got the jasmine Tea and it tasted disgusting. It looked old and the boba was hard. There was barely anything in the vending machine. I wasted $5 for this gross drink read more

My friend and I were walking around Block 37 looking for this vending machine as the idea of vending machine boba greatly piqued our interests. After 30 min of wandering around, we finally found it near the red line door. However, my friend was immediately turned off by the prices -- the boba costs just as much as it would if you bought it from a cafe, around $6. We ended up not buying anything from the machine. To quote my friend, why would we pay the same exorbitant prices for boba that we can't customize (sugar levels)? read more

Key note: this is not a coffee shop. This is a vending machine in the basement of a mall.

Always delicious to enjoy! I really wish there was more locations to buy! Please bring more vending machines to Los Ángeles.

I loved the mango Milk tea it was delicious but the vending machines cash function didn't work

This was a really cute concept but the boba quality really could be a lot better. My milk tea tasted super artificial and was too sweet, while my friend's taro milk tea wasn't sweet at all. Also the drinks weren't as chilled as we would have liked or expected given that they're sitting in a refrigerated vending machine. read more

Cool concept, but maybe not say it's 24/7 if they there's a possibility of them not restocking late at night. At 1am it was empty.

This is absolutely awesome! As a boba addict, it's tough when the craving hits but the stores are closed. Now, this is no longer a problem. Flavors are tasty too, oolong, jasmine, mango lassi! :) read more

I ordered a roasted oolong milk tea I didn't like it and I honestly wouldn't recommend it to people.

This is the coolest invention since the internet!!! There is a 24/7 milk tea machine in Block 37 on state street! It was kind of hard to find but you can enter block 37 through the Washington or Lake red line entrance on State or Dearborn and you'll see the machine on the bottom floor next to the Farmers Fridge machine. There's also a security guard there 24/7 who can direct you. It was a bit of an adventure finding it, but that is part of the fun! Anyways the machine was fully stocked when we got there at 2 am and it had a range of the classic flavors, from matcha to Thai tea, oolong, mango lasi, coffee, and jasmine. We tried the matcha, Thai tea, and oolong. The match and Thai tea were great but the oolong was very watery and lacked any flavoring. Also none of them had boba in it, probably because the tapioca doesn't stay fresh long. Each drink was around $5, so pretty on par with regular milk tea shops. The milk tea definitely lacks something without the boba to chew on but if you are craving that milk tea at all hours, it's nice to know this is there, I just wish there were more locations! read more
