    Creme brulee milk tea
    Victoria C.

    I kept seeing this place popup all around the Chicago area, so we decided to grab some drinks while we were in the mall. We ordered on the app to save 10% off your first order, but service was quite slow as they said their system wasn't working properly. I decided to go for the creme brulee milk tea and my family got lemonades in their can. The cans were hard to open as we broke off 2 of the tabs, so we had to ask the staff to open them up. It would be a great concept if you wanted a better seal to take out, but need to be careful when opening. The brown sugar boba was boba jelly, which was disappointing as I was expecting the chewy tapioca boba. The fruity lemonade drinks that we got with popping boba were better, but nothing expectional. Overall, it was a refreshing drink to cool us down in the heat.

    It's not the best tea I've had but when you're craving boba it hits the spot. They definitely use syrups and not fresh fruit, but when you've had a disappointing dinner experience before it, sometimes you just need a pick me up.

    Cute place near Millennium park! Walking distance from all the touristy places in Chicago. Great place for boba recharge after walking around the city!! Crème brûlée was good! I would recommend doing less ice otherwise it'd end up being super watery! Ube matcha was mid and so was the mochi donuts. Not a lot of seatings and they can get packed with tourists time to time!

    The Location is inside the mall on the 4th floor at the end of the food court.Self service on a large tablet makes it easy to order what you want with zero rush! I tried the favorite Mango Free Squeezed Lemonade with popping Boba! Absolutely delicious I would get it again!

    This spot is located in the Northbridge Mall food court. We came at 7:30 on a Sunday, even though the mall closes at 7. You can still get to the food court through a few elevators around the mall, but it's definitely less than ideal. After we got our food, a security guard kicked us out since the mall was closed. The food itself was pretty good though. We tried the ube basque cheesecake, which was delicious. I also had the strawberry milk, and without any changes, it really hit the spot. I didn't really care for the bottles it came in--the top of ours actually broke when we tried opening it. I'd definitely prefer regular bottle caps. Other than that, this is a nice spot for dessert and tea.

    Love the canned drink so you can walk with it. I stopped in for tanghulu fruits. Everything was fast and delicious despite them being busy.

    Came here for a post lunch bubble tea and while initially excited to try the drink, I'll say it was pretty average and nothing amazing. A bit expensive for the size, but the aesthetic and taste were fine. I didn't actually like the can honestly, but that's more of a personal preference. Drinks also took a bit to come out which was strange since we were the only ones waiting in the area. Overall, I thought this spot was fine, but I probably wouldn't come back.

    The place is located inside the mall. You can order via the 2 kiosks available. I ordered the Mango Lemonade and it's made in the can. For the price, it's expensive 'cause I finished that drink in seconds. The drink was really refreshing and pretty good though. Make sure to mix it well, otherwise it'd be a bit sour. Recommendation(s): - Mango Lemonade Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Accept Apple Pay - Located in the mall

    Hit the spot on a hot day and in a very convenient location. If you're eating at Lao Sze Chuan next door they will actually deliver to your table. I tried the Strawberry Fresh Squeezed Lemonade and it was very refreshing.

    The kids and I wanted bubble tea so this was one of the bubble tea places we went yesterday. The containers where they place the drinks were unique. It is similar to a soda can set up. The kids each got their own drinks of which they liked. I got myself the mango dessert. The dessert is good, not overly sweet.

    FLAVOR (3/5): Didn't really like their boba or tea here. The tea tasted a bit bitter and the drink itself tasted low quality. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (3/5): This location is located in a food court area which you need to take an elevator and walk through a restaurant to get to. The cups are jars but otherwise the rest of the storefront was lackluster. SERVICE (3/5): They are understaffed and unable to make certain drinks on their menu because of it. Drinks too a long time. TAKEAWAYS: Really disappointed in their chain, Chicago just has no good boba and this was the only option in the River Walk area.

    I visited a while ago. The boba is good but nothing special. The cashier/bobarista working that day was super kind though, they offered me a bag to carry the boba even though I didn't ask for one.

    Love their strawberry matcha

Since I recognized the TBaar name, I figured it would be the safest option for reliable, quality boba. I visited on a Friday afternoon and the shop was surprisingly empty, with the three workers apparently excited to have someone walk in the shop. The inside area is small and there is no seating available for those wanting to casually hangout while enjoying their drinks. The area didn't seem to be the safest considering the activity witnessed outside, so it is probably best to not offer seating. Since it was warm, I ordered a large matcha smoothie (75% sugar level) with tapioca along with a large piña colada smoothie (75% sugar level). I inquired about the "white pearl" on the menu thinking it was white tapioca but it was actually agar jelly so I opted out of that; the male worker seemed annoyed when I asked and responded minimally. The drinks were ready in about five minutes. The matcha smoothie did not have a deep green color I was expecting, usually indicating the drink was diluted or watered down, and I was correct. I was aware that TBaar did not specialize in matcha, but I would've expected more matcha flavor instead of mostly tasting sugar or milk/non-dairy creamer; the 75% sugar level chosen should not affect the amount of matcha used since matcha powder should not have sugar filler. The tapioca was a little too soft for my liking and it would've been nice to have a little more in the large cup. The piña colada smoothie tasted a little better but definitely tasted like it was flavored with artificial syrup. For the River North area, TBaar is a decent option for boba. However, for better quality boba I would consider traveling outside the area, especially if a place that offers safe casual seating is preferred.

    This is one of my favorite matcha spots in all of Chicago! It gets pretty busy sometimes, so expect…read morea wait during their peak hours. It will get a little loud too if it's crowded, so be sure to listen to your order name or number in order to grab your drink at the delivery counter! Probably my 3rd or 4th time visiting, but the drinks always hit the matcha itch each time I love the Strawberry Matcha Latte since it brings a good level of sweetness from the strawberry puree but also the bitterness from the matcha. The matcha has such a deep flavor that with any of the specialty lattes, you don't lose any of that matcha flavoring to the add-ons. The Mango Matcha Latte is also very good! You get a lighter mango taste (in comparison to having a stronger strawberry taste), and you can still taste the depth of the matcha flavor. Even after the ice melting after time, you can still taste the matcha as if it was not watered down. That's how you know you're getting premium quality matcha. tl;dr If you haven't tried Gathers...you're missing out on some delicious matcha.

I LOVED their menu because they have a good mix of boba, matcha and other decaffeinated drinks. Boba prices are good too, and regular drink is around $5.5 on average. I got mango matcha and I can tell it's a high quality matcha. Even towards the end, the matcha didn't get watered down much (see one of the pictures). The mango didn't taste authentic, but good quality matcha made up for it. Ube monster was also tasty; it has Oreo crumbs on top. The sweetness was just right. Service was fast and there are so many self-check out stations.

They have a good amount of seating upstairs, so we didn't have to split up, which is always a plus when you're traveling with a bunch of people. It was also only about a 7-minute ride from our hotel in downtown, making it an easy lunch stop. One thing I really appreciated was that you order at the counter. For a big group, this made life so much easier because everyone could order exactly what they wanted and pay separately. No awkward math at the end trying to split the bill. The staff were all really sweet and patient with us, and our food came out pretty fast considering how many people we had. I ordered the Bun Cha Ha Noi. It was decent, but if I had one complaint, it'd be that the grilled beef patties needed a little more seasoning. Everything else was good, but a bit more flavor would've taken the dish up a notch. Overall, I'd come back. The convenience, quick service, friendly staff, and plenty of seating made it a great option, especially if you're traveling with a larger group.
