While exploring Navy Pier, we came across TE'AMO Boba & Dessert, and it immediately caught our…read moreattention with its colorful drinks, mochi donuts, and impressive selection of desserts. It ended up being the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy a sweet treat before continuing our walk around the pier. TE'AMO is known for using premium ingredients, including organic milk and freshly brewed teas, along with a wide variety of desserts ranging from mille crepe cakes to mochi donuts. We ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, Thai Milk Tea, Chocolate Mille Crepe Cake, and a Cookies & Cream Mochi Donut. The Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, with chewy boba pearls and just the right amount of sweetness. The Thai Milk Tea was smooth, bold, and refreshing with its classic spiced tea flavor. The Chocolate Mille Crepe Cake was light, silky, and layered with delicate chocolate crepes, making it an excellent dessert that wasn't overly heavy. The Cookies & Cream Mochi Donut had a wonderfully chewy texture with a soft interior and a delicious cookies-and-cream topping that made it hard to stop at one bite. If you're visiting Navy Pier and need a refreshing drink or a sweet snack, TE'AMO is definitely worth a stop. The presentation is just as impressive as the flavors, the desserts are fresh, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. It's a great place to recharge while enjoying one of Chicago's most popular attractions. Highly recommended!

The crust was thin and crispy, with a large air cavity, making it very soft and fluffy. The salted egg yolk has just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, and wasn't too cloying. Garlic Cheese Brioche Bun蒜香奶酪麵包: Perhaps its more Taiwanese name is "八蒜包" (Eight Garlic Bun). Its appearance and taste were very similar to those I've had at Taiwanese bakeries in mainland China. The cheese and garlic flavors were very strong, but the bread itself was slightly coarse. Hojicha Latte: The whole milk was very milky, but the hojicha flavor felt a little weak. However, it's already great to find a tea latte that's not very sweet.

It's just a beautiful, feminine space like even the bathroom was decked out in pink! I loved it. While there, I got a sandwich and strawberry matcha. I really enjoyed both. It's honestly made me crave strawberry matcha since then. There was one girl there working, and she was really helpful in explaining the difference in drinks to me. Can't wait to go back!

While in the West Loop on a warm weekend I was craving a refreshing drink. I did a quick Yelp…read moresearch and Matcha Cita came up. When I arrived I was amazed at how large the space was for a matcha shop. The counter to order was very long and there were plenty of tables of chairs available and they weren't cramped close to one another. The menu was located on the far back wall and the font was small so it was hard to look at the menu while ordering at the counter, but fortunately nobody was behind me in line while ordering. I ordered three drinks to try different things. First was the Pink Señorita with strawberry, pitaya, matcha, and coconut milk. Second was the Pistachio Honey Latte with pistachio, honey, and choice of matcha according to the menu, though I wasn't given a choice of matcha. Last was Bluetiful which included blueberry, blue spirulina, collagen, matcha, and vanilla almond milk. Pink Señorita was probably the more flavorful drink of the three although something about it the strawberry gave off an artificial taste. The Pistachio Honey Latte had a nice pistachio flavor that didn't overpower the matcha. Bluetiful was the least favorite drink since it didn't taste like anything at all; it had an interesting blue color but other than that it tasted like heavily diluted matcha with no hints of blueberry or vanilla almond milk or anything at all. All of these were ordered in 20 oz cups and I felt the price of $8.95 was a bit steep for each of the three, especially considering that the drinks didn't all taste quite as expected. By no means are the drinks from Matcha Cita authentic Japanese style matcha drinks, but they provide a bougie twist on classic matcha similar to other higher priced smoothie and juice shops. I did notice it was unsanitary for the barista to touch the garbage bag behind the counter as if she was about to throw out the trash, take my order at the register, and then start making the drinks without washing her hands, but I didn't want to make a scene and call her out on it; at least she wasn't touching the ingredients directly with her hands, I guess. If you're craving a unique type of drink on a hot day in the West Loop, Matcha Cita is an option but it may be better to stick with the basics and try to watch the barista making your order behind the counter to ensure proper food handling practices are performed.

I noticed they had a special promotion for a grape refresher smoothie for only $3, which seemed like a pretty good deal so I figured I'd give it a try. The drink itself was refreshing and definitely hit the spot while walking around and shopping. It had a nice grape flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and the smoothie was blended well with a smooth consistency. For the price, it's hard to complain because $3 is a great value nowadays. Overall, it was a decent drink and a great budget-friendly option if you're already shopping at Gangnam Market and need something cold to sip on while browsing. The value is definitely there, especially at the promotional price, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to return specifically for the grape refresher smoothie. Not sure if I'll return to try other drinks.
