This was an AWESOME spot in Navy Pier! We were getting food and noticed this place, and it was even on the InKind app so we get a welcome offer to use. Between the two of us, we split the Mango Coco Bliss and Ube Dalgona Coffee W/Boba. The mango drink was super refreshing and not overly sweet. The Ube Coffee was AWESOME - the coffee itself was super smooth and tasty, and I loved the boba balls. One thing I didn't love was how wasteful the single use plastic was - definitely not great on the environment. Besides that, really liked the drinks!
Such a refreshing stop at Navy Pier, especially during peak summer! Out of all the eateries in the area, we gravitated here to satisfy my friend's sweet tooth. I was already stuffed from dinner, but thought, "Hey, a little boba can't hurt right?" Side note: as a non-local, I found the name endearing... but is it pronounced the English or the Spanish way? The line itself made it clear this spot was a hit with both locals and tourists alike. Location: Nestled inside Navy Pier in a generic (but heavenly) air conditioned food court. Getting there/parking: Drive, Uber/Lyft, bike, walk, scoot... take your pick. Parking? No clue, I happily skipped that struggle. Atmosphere: It's a food court on a weekend at dinnertime. Translation - loud, busy, and packed with hungry humans. Drinks: The main attraction! Their menu was like taking a quiz with too many right answers, and I mentally deliberated my options like I was on a game show. I settled on the banana dalgona matcha with boba. The verdict? Tasty! Though the banana came through loud and clear, the matcha was more of a quiet sidekick. Food: A colorful spread of desserts with an Asian twist - mochi donuts, mille crepe cakes, coconut panna cotta... a girl can dream. A few items already sold out (not sure if they restock), so it seems the early birds really do get the sweetest picks. Service: Orders go through a kiosk touchscreen, then the crew behind the counter works their magic. My drink was ready in about 5-10 minutes, which was pretty quick given the line. Price: Under $10, which feels pretty standard in the boba world. Being a sucker for discounts, promo codes, and freebies, I was delighted to snag a first-timer discount through their app. Would I return? Absolutely - solid boba and a perfect pit stop whenever I'm back in Chi-Town.
We got a quick snack at navy pier at Te'amo and I would say the drink is good but the matcha bao and the blueberry cheese cake mochi donut were not good. The egg shaped drink is very cute but the drink tag was hard to remove. The service was decent. You order off a kiosk then they call out your order. They were near food court seating and it's on a busy Saturday so it was pretty packed and hard to find a table.
This is a strong 4.5. we self ordered our drinks one matcha and one Ube/dalonga (sp?). We both enjoyed. I especially love it was lightly iced. The packaging was awesome. My friend did comment on not liking the bamboo straw but as a person who carries her own straw I appreciate it. I also thought it held up relatively well. My biggest thoughts were around the self order. I loved that I could modify drinks to have hot/iced, sweet level, foams, and both milk and jelly varieties. I did love the flavors on the menu; there were even seasonal flavors. For me boba is still infrequent and new enough that I have questions and would have preferred to speak with some one. But they do attempt to educate while still offering the self order (i.e. there was a little cheat sheet explaining some of lesser known jelly options.) pricing was fair except for the non dairy upcharge which was $2.
The staff on was not interested in helping anyone in relied heavily on the understanding that you only order through the kiosk, they did not offer any friendly advice or assistance to anyone. The Boba was very gummy and stuck together, they were out of Japanese Sandos, and the mochi donuts were mediocre at best. We spent over $50 for some treats here and everything consistently lacked in flavor.
This is a solid spot for bubble tea and desserts at Navy Pier! Some of our favorites include the Basque Cheesecake and the Ube Coconut Pudding. I've also had the mochi donuts but those are more average in my opinion, so I would stick to one of the two desserts above!
Super convenient and quick turn around for all boba drinks. Order and pay at the kiosk and I waited maybe 3 minutes before my drink was made and ready to go which was outstanding. Ordered the creme brûlée ube milk tea with under 50% sugar--incredible flavor, the ube had a beautiful color to it, and the creme brûlée top was nicely salted. Highly recommend!
I tried the Everything Bagel Bao and it was good. The girl who helped me was very nice. She helped me decide to get the everything bagel Bao, it just had cream cheese in it so it kinda tasted like a super soft bagel with cream cheese. It's a cute shop in Navy Pier. The only reason I knocked off a star was because of the price, it was almost $7 for one Bao. If it was bigger then that price would be more justified.
It was like 7 bucks for a cup. Taste average. The price tag is probably for the vibe, gold and cute can/cup, pink napkins. A very girly store. And most of the customers are girls. This place sells like all asian/boba things. The boba drinks for one. They also sell boba plushy. Mochi donut (don't know if they're good tho). Coconut pudding- we were gonna get it but they're like 7-10 bucks, yikes. And fresh thai coconut. We had to give this place a try cuz they keep showing up wherever we go in chicago.
Delicious! I got the passion fruit yogurt green tea with boba & rose matcha latte with boba - fresh flavors and the passion fruit wasn't too strong nor was the green tea. Just a perfect mixture which is what I was wanting. Wish there was a little stronger yogurt flavor but I enjoyed this mixture. You're not able to change the sweetness but that's fine. It actually was perfectly sweet. - the rose matcha latte was delicious! Not very sweet but has the stronger earthy flavors. And the Rose is strong which is great and fragrant. Beautiful colors and great flavors - boba had a great texture to it. Con: there really isn't a size option. You get one size. Oh well. I'm glad I stopped by this location. It's right on the pier and didn't close early which was great. OH and you can also buy mochi donuts at one piece each - the ones I've seen in socal are mostly needing to buy a set at a time. They look delicious too.
After a great adventure downtown, we decided to stop by here for a sweet birthday treat. We ordered the strawberry milk tea and the chocolate crepe cake from the kiosk. We grabbed a seat while we waited, it wasn't long before we had our treats. Everything was so delicious.
After walking the pier we definitely needed some refreshments! It was so cute! The ordering is easy, it's just an ordering tablet. The drinks were all really good, but it wasn't as cold as we wanted. There was like 2 pieces of ice cubes. The bao and mochi donuts were amazing!
So friendly!! The staff gave great recommendations and I loved that they offer dairy free milk alternatives for no extra charge. I love the dalgona boba and the ube mochi donut!
While exploring Navy Pier, we came across TE'AMO Boba & Dessert, and it immediately caught our attention 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! read more
Local Chicago chain and I had to give them a try while I was here. We choose the Navy Pier location. I thought it was pretty unique to get my jasmine soy milk latte in a can. Neat! Enjoy outside and watch the sightseeing boats leave for Lake Michigan. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Seen quite a few of these stores while at Chicago. Given the location of this spot, I would say it is quite good. The drink itself I would say it is honestly pretty average but the amount of these bubble milk tea and desert spots in Chicago are quite limited so it was pretty good in comparison to the other options. There isn't much to be said about service since we order from a panel and just wait for the drink. The location is a great spot to just pick up the drink and just sit somewhere to chill. read more

Teamo Boba Bar is a women owned establishment, located inside the food court on Navy Pier. According to the locals, and my daughter too, this place serves very good boba. So we had to get some! Line was very busy when we arrived, but looked fast moving, so we got in the line. I ordered the Mango Lemonade boba with added Lychee. After ordering on the IPad on the counter, and paying for it on the same time, employees started working on it immediately and received it very quickly. The container was completely closed on the top. The straw was large enough for the boba and the chopped lychee in it. It made it very easy to enjoy the drink! I absolutely loved my Boba drink! read more
Cute spot in the navy pier food court. Needed something refreshing because the temps were in the 90s so we stopped here. Service is pretty non existant bc you ordered on a screen and they just hand it to you but I don't really mind bc at least I know my order was put in correctly. Unfortunately the green tea jasmine with lychee jelly wasn't great. The tea was over steeped so it had a strong bitter taste and the lychee jelly was overly floral. I honestly was fine with it bc it was still drinkable the can it came in was so freaking cute. Just wouldn't get it again. read more

Beautifully presented. Not too sweet even without adjusting the sugar and ice. Probably will try order flavors if I am at the Navy Pier. read more

A hidden gem at the Navy pier. A little difficult to navigate since they only have screens to order from but it's difficult to understand how the drinks are made because they come in a can top, but apparently the employee makes the drink and then screws on the can top, which was not clear. The drink themselves were awesome and I highly recommend them if you enjoy Boba. read more

Located inside the pier is a charming little spot to sit and enjoy a drink and a donut! I ordered a couple of items, including matcha, sunrise lemonade, and a strawberry smoothie. I also tried a few mochi donuts, including ube, banana, and matcha! Everything was great, and the service was fast! read more
Omg! A recent visit to the Chi had be at the Navy Pier. This location is inside the Navy Pier all the way to the back. You might miss it at first. I had the strawberry lemonade with mango jelly. It was delicious I think it was $6 since I added the jelly. Still very affordable for Boba. They make it and seal it with a lid similar to one used for soda. I watched them use a machine to seal the lid. Very convenient if you're on the go!!!! Taste was very good. read more

Easy to order using kiosk, fast service. Clean cute shop, even in the middle of food row at Navy Pier. Great variety of drinks which can be customized. read more
Great quality boba! We ordered a tornado tea latte which is a Thai tea with cheese foam and Oreo. We could taste the Thai tea, and it was creamy and not too sweet. The Te'amo 02 was surprisingly pretty good. It is lemonade with butterfly pea tea and comes with the crystal boba and strawberry jelly which goes very well together. It does taste slightly artificial but I thought it was good nonetheless. The drinks come in a can which is cute for pictures and the drinks are a little high, but they use organic tea and good quality ingredients. Drinks came out fairly fast. I will definitely come back as they had a good selection of drinks. read more

Very cute store with many different options to pick from would recommend if you're at Navy Pier Craving boba or desserts read more
We stopped by because my daughter HAD to try the boba that comes in a can that she'd saw in the window of another location. Being served in a can adds to the portability, but when you're drinking it immediately it's more just a cute cup. The mango lemonade was tasty but had a surprisingly fizzy tart taste that we did like, but were not immediately prepared. I think it was actually a nice change and would be refreshing on a hot day. The dalgona is delicious, particularly with added boba. The service was friendly and the product is fresh. We didn't try the desserts but they look nicely packaged to take home. read more
