    I came here about an hour before closing and it was really busy, but the team worked through all the orders super quick. I ordered the crème brule milk tea with rose added to it. For rose to be added you have to have at least 25% sugar level. It was delicious, sweet, and smooth. I usually have fruity or very caffeinated drinks, so it was a nice change to pace to see a milk tea with slight flavor on the menu and I really enjoyed it.

    Tasty Bubble Tea! This particular location is located on the second floor of WaterTower Place making it perfect for sipping & shopping. The Ube Dalgona drink was yummy and accompanied with some delicious soft & chewy boba. They package their drinks in cute cans. The cleanliness of the tables was questionable though - they were all dirty and littered with wrappers / can covers.

    We stumbled upon Te 'Amo at Water Tower while looking for another spot and decided to give it a try. They offer a range of hot and cold beverages, as well as desserts, though we've only tried their drinks so far. My husband is a big fan of their hot Strawberry Dalgona coffee--he's ordered it both times we've visited. I've had the cold Ube Dalgona and the pumpkin spice Dalgona, both of which were absolutely delicious. This place has quickly become our favorite boba spot nationwide. The ordering process is pretty streamlined. While there are staff members available to answer questions, you place your order using touchscreen pads. It took about three minutes from placing the order to receiving our drinks. Fast and easy!

    Cute bubble tea spot at the mall. Great service, friendly staff and cute aesthetics. I'd stop by if I was in the area again!

    Very cute little shop right when you head up the escalators on the second floor. The bright colors really catch your eye! I have seen a few of the other Te'amo locations around the city, and finally decided to stop. We did not get any drinks which seemed to be their hottest items. The ordering was self service on a touch pad, and then donuts were already on display so we got them very quickly! They were very light and fluffy and almost melt in your mouth. They were a nice sweet treat. Next time I will definitely try a beverage to pair with another mochi donut!

    Mango jasmine oolong tea

    Got the mango jasmine oolong tea with boba. Tea tasted diluted with water and flavoring was so faint. For a $6+ drink, I expect to taste the fruit and tea flavor of my drink. The only redeeming quality was the boba pearls themselves were well cooked and had a good brown sugar chewy flavor. Also got the dalgona matcha w/boba and it had the same problems. Tasted mostly like milk with no perceptible matcha flavor and a hint of sweetness that alluded to the inclusion of dalgona. Basically just tasted like vaguely sweet green milk with boba. The can that the boba comes in has a tab to open that broke upon trying to open it. Terrible design as the can top also makes it unable to seal after opening so you take it with you without fear of spilling. Cup feels like it was designed for novelty rather than functionality. Service is good and cafe so cute, but the drinks are just not worth it.

    Lavender Matcha Latte

    I got the organic lavender matcha latte and I must say the packaging is very nice. They use clear plastic soda can like bottles with a golden tab finish. Barista was helpful and the matcha flavor was strong compared to other places. The boba was chewy and overall I enjoyed the drink. The only downside would be pricing as the drinks are a bit expensive.

    I finally tried Te'Amo and I am so happy that it lived up to its hype! The service was quick and easy. The line moves super fast regardless of it being inside the Water Tower. There's not a ton of seating right next to the space, but it's easy to find seating throughout the mall. The tea itself was SO good. We tried the brown sugar Dalgona Coffee and it was made to perfection. Not too sweet, the right amount of boba, and very caffeinated. I can't wait to try more flavors - especially their seasonal ones!

    Very cute little stand with a kiosk for you to order your favorites. My son loved the Oreo mochi donut. My sister loved adding lychee jelly and crystal boba to her green tea! Definitely a sweet treat!

    Got the brown sugar milk tea with regular milk and boba. It was great. Service was quick. You can order on the iPad quickly. Highly recommend

    Mango Jasmine Oolong Tea

    I got the Mango Jasmine Oolong Tea with 50% sweetness. The waitress was so sweet and I really enjoyed my experience here. The location also accepts inKind which is amazing. I loved my drink and I would recommend coming here for a quick beverage:)

    Kiosks
    Jill O.

    A welcome addition to Water Tower Place. This is a cashless location, where you can place your order with the digital kiosk. You can buy drinks, mochi donuts, pastries, coconut jellies, and retail items. We got a banana milk with an Oreo mustache, and a rose matcha latte. You can pick your sweetness, temperature, milk, and amount of ice, as well as additions like pudding, boba, or a cheese top. The drinks come in sealed pop top containers, making it easy to take on the go. Service was friendly and polite, and we didn't have to wait long. They were very patient with some of the other folks who were struggling with the kiosks. This location is on the second floor of Water Tower Place, where the old Starbucks used to be. It's colorful and welcoming. The pastries and tea blends on display are very inviting.

    After dining in the area on a warm day full of walking, I decided boba would be a nice way to cool…read moredown. 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.

    We stopped by TBaar on a hot summer day and were pleasantly surprised.
