We walked in and no one else was in there. Didn't even get a greeting as we walked in. I still said hello And no response. Perhaps he didn't hear me. There's one table to sit at with 4 seats and the rest is high sits at a "bar" area. my daughter ordered the magi green tea with boba and the veggie gyoza. She gives her items 5/5. I ordered the passion fruit green tea and yes that was good but I also had the popcorn chicken. They def give you a decent amount but it didn't sit right with me. I smelled burned but didn't taste like it. Not sure if it was the seasoning they use. In any event I didn't finish the chicken due to it upsetting my stomach.
The bubble tea was a really good price, but the milk tea mango flavor did not taste really mango like. It tastes more like artificial mango candy flavor. And it was a little watered down before the ice melted. But the was good and the tea came out very fast and it's a decent serving. Free open parking lot and close to Bibibop so eat there and come here for a snack after like ice cream (rolled) and bubble tea and other Asian appetizers fun food. Plenty of seating and the claw games.
The place is located in a strip mall that has a ton of businesses. It is located in the last wing of the mall between the Chipotle and the Bibibop. You can easily miss it if you're not looking close enough. When you do find it, you will be pleasantly surprised. When you walk in, you are greeted by their menu and the offering area. They specialize in bubble tea and rolled ice cream. They have a variety of teas, both herbal and fruity teas as well as ice blends. I opted to go with a matcha ice blend with boba. It was very flavorful and I wanted more after my serving. I definitely enjoyed my drink and looking forward to returning and tasting other items on the menu.
Super quick Boba Tea. I wanted a treat before getting back to work. I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Tea 50% sugar. I was satisfied with my drink and quick service. This location is super easy. Right off Western near Police Station and Marianos. Plenty of free parking. Inside there are two kiosks or you can order at the cash register. I liked that my order was done within two minutes. Some places take forever to make your order when it wasn't that deep. Will be back to try their fruit teas!!!
Post completion of my run, I discovered Ten Cafe after a search of restaurants with 'Boba Tea' via yelp. Ten Cafe just happened to be ranked number five within a radius of the area I was in, and along my route which made it very acceptable to choose. I ordered their grapefruit green tea online via yelp after scrolling through its menu. Ordering online via the yelp application was very convenient because by the time I arrived to pick up my drink, it was ready behind the counter upon my arrival. Ten Cafe itself sits within Roscoe Square amongst a plethora of businesses and restaurants that I am very familiar with. And the parking is free, and shared with a number of spots available, even directly outside of the storefront. I just could not resist sipping my grapefruit green tea after getting inside of my vehicle. It was so freaking good! My taste buds were surged with that delicious grapefruit and green tea combination I salivated for once I saw it on the menu. And I finished it off before even driving out of the parking lot, tehehe. Since I am now familiar with Ten Cafe, I would gladly order from again, which would more than likely be in the same fashion post completion of a run nearby. Recommendations: Fruit Tea (mango green tea, passionfruit green tea, grapefruit green tea, peach black tea, lychee black tea, purple grape oolong, or pineapple black tea. ~ Yabba dabba doo! ~ Thomas G
My sister-in-law was in the mood for popping boba all day so we stopped at Ten Cafe on our way home. The interior was clean and nicely decorated throughout with a good amount of small tables and seating available. They have two kiosks near the entrance for ordering but the staff kindly asked myself and others who came in while the kiosks were both being used to order at the counter. My brother got the purple grape oolong tea with lychee popping boba and his wife got the passionfruit green tea with passion fruit popping boba and they both really liked theirs although she did say that the drink was still a little sweet for her taste even at 25% and that she'd probably order 0% sweetness next time. I usually get brown sugar drinks when I go to boba places but I was intrigued by the Yunyueng (coffee milk tea) options so I went to the counter to ask for some more information and they gladly explained them. The staff member let me know that the drink I was ordering was considered strong by some but I went ahead and decided to give it a try anyway. They also explained that there was a 5 min wait on regular tapioca pearls as they were finishing up a fresh batch but I didn't mind. The drinks of myself and 5 other customers were made very quickly once the pearls were ready. The Yunyueng did have a strong black tea and coffee taste that was quite bitter at first but once I stirred up the boba/syrup I grew to enjoy the mix of flavors. That being said, I'd probably order a brown sugar drink if I find myself at Ten Cafe again. P.s. We didn't get any food but the options did look pretty appealing if the photos on the menu are really indicative. My nose noted that something was being fried on my way back from the bathroom and it smelled so good.
Ever since I visited Japan, I have been obsessed with takoyaki. Ten cafe fulfills my takoyaki cravings. They are served piping hot with Japanese mayo, bonito flakes, takoyaki sauce, and the gorgeous squid inside. I have tried their boba, and it's mediocre. I got the mango boba and it tasted like medicine. The staff are really nice though, and my food usually takes about 10 minutes to be made, so I will keep on coming back here, but only for the food. Their store has Taiwanese and Japanese cultural influences shown by the decorations and the asian shows playing on the TV. They just recently renovated their store, and added 2 rows of gacha machines, which is a really fun place for teens.
We got a jasmine milk tea less sugar, black milk tea 0 sugar, and a taro milk drink (I don't remember the correct name for the last one). We were happy with the baseline milk tea drinks but the gimmicky taro drink tasted mostly of milk. It wasn't bad but not worth getting either. I like the parking lot and friendly service.
Personally I enjoy the Asian street snacks more so than the boba drinks! Drinks: Passionfruit green tea - 3.5/5 - green tea with mostly sweet passionfruit flavor with slight tart; other tea shops throw in the tasty passionfruit seeds making it more legit/authentic... ought to do the same here Purple grape oolong tea - 3.5/5 good but not outstanding Thai tea - 5/5 - this tea is a standard classic that you essentially can't mess up Food: Taiwanese popcorn chicken - 5/5 - I really liked the texture and taste Takoyaki (breaded dough balls filled with piece of octopus) - 5/5 - excellent quality; I love the texture Gyoza pork vs veggie - 4/5 - enjoyed both of them; perfect texture; you get 8 pieces usually just of one kind, but they were nice enough to split half and half for me Ambience: Decent sized tea shop Service: Fast and friendly
Boba tastes always good here. But I'm not coming back. Today I went to the bathroom and really want to gag. First of all, it smells like very old frying oil. Would definitely never eat there, as it's clear they use the same oil for far longer than they should. The bathroom is absolutely disgusting and covered in dust. I can not imagine that their kitchen is any better or that they wash their hands in that filthy bathroom. Just gross! You need to do better as a business. You can not serve people food and drinks in conditions like this.
I absolutely love this place! They were playing One Piece which is my 15 year old son's favorite anime lol. I ordered the taro ice blend, lavender milk tea, brown sugar boba milk tea, and two orders of takoyaki to go. The service was fast and the place had good vibes and super cute decor! I'll most definitely come back with my son.
Ten cafe has a variety of milk, fruit, ice blends, rolled ice, and some food items. I got the Thai Iced milk tea and it was delicious! There's lots of seating space and parking available. Will definitely be coming back to try the matcha milk tea.
We have been coming here on a regular basis over the last few years. The offerings and the layout have evolved. Unfortunately they get rid of almost all the tables in favor of the toy machines. They also no longer have the meal deal. With all that being said, we continue to come back as their drinks, ice cream and food are consistent. My kids love the shake shake fries and the popcorn chicken. We could go somewhere for lunch or dinner beforehand and they somehow will make run to eat here. Major plus - there is parking in the plaza! read more

I got the taro cloud milk tea with boba. It was $5.75 and with boba, it was an extra $1. It was so good! Must try. Taste like taro for sure. The presentation is nice. Also got the red bean milk cloud. It was $5.75. Must try! It taste like red bean but not too overwhelming. It's the right amount of flavor. I highly recommend coming here for boba and milk tea. The staff is really nice. You can also order through the machine located in the front of the store. The vibe in here is pretty cool read more
Love this cafe! This place is clean and the staff wear face masks at all times. The customer service was good! They have a good selection of milk teas and ice cream! We ordered in store and we waited for 3-5 minutes to get our entire order. We ordered the matcha lady, Oreo lover, matcha milk tea with matcha milk cap and taro ice blend. Oreo lover - the name says it all! If you love Oreos then you need to get this. Matcha lady - had the perfect ratio of matcha and sugar! Would definitely get this one again. Matcha milk tea with matcha milk cap - went with 25% sugar! The matcha flavour comes through better with a lower sugar level. But if you are someone who doesn't want a strong matcha flavour then I would suggest going for 50% sugar level. All their ice creams have eggs in them! Definitely not an option for egg allergy. Instead you can for their ice blends! Perfect for the summer heat. Price - priced just like any other bubble tea spot! Worth it. Definitely recommend this place for some good bubble tea and rolled ice cream. read more
I was surprised to see a new Bubble Tea and Rolled Ice Cream Cafe in the area! What a great addition. I'm a huge fan of Bubble Tea. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy it, and I've been drinking it for about 6 years here in Chicago. There are a ton of places that suck -- but this is not one of those places. I've only tried the following so far: Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with boba (many times) Taro Milk Tea with boba (a couple of times) Matcha Lady Rolled Ice Cream (once) And yes, it is delicious. It is worth trying. I love how perfectly soft the boba is and how healthy/natural the drinks taste. I'm not a fan of synthetic tasting/ hyper-sugary drinks. Not for me. The Matcha Lady is also delicious and comes with some fun toppings. Huge fan. A few tips: - Yes! there's the option to ask for less/more ice or less/more sugar! Let them know what you like. I do it all the time. - You can order ahead and pick up! That saves you waiting time. - They have stamps cards! If you're a regular like me, that gets you a free drink every now and then. Cool place. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more
I've been here a few times and had so many good things. The rolled ice cream is really great and it's a lot so bring someone to share. There's great bubble tea, including taro, my fave. And the popcorn chicken is so good!! Love it. read more

I really like it and will be ordering from them again. I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. Amazing! Sweet enough - the boba slightly added sweetness. Very good bubble tea! Portions are pretty decent too. read more

So delicious and authentic. Have to get rolled ice cream and boba tea every time! They roll the ice cream right in front of you. I'm glad they seem popular because they deserve it. No matter how many orders they have it's always quick service. Beautiful esthetic in the shop as well with different anime playing on the tv while you wait. I've gotten the pink berry rolled ice cream almost every time I've gone just because it was the first one I tried and loved it so much. This time around. Got the Taro with mango boba, just as tasty! read more
So I've been here 4 times already and I gotta say it's a great addition to the neighborhood! So far I think the best on the menu from the ones I've tried so far is the brown sugar and the original milk tea with regular tapioca! Both were not insanely sweet and the tapioca texture was chewy! All to my liking. I did try the matcha and Thai tea ice blend but it wasn't my cup of tea (no pun intended) and were kind of watered down unfortunately. The crystal boba is more like gelatin. Again just be open-minded! This boba cafe has a lot of potential! Hence the many options availability! read more

I highly recommend the brown sugar milk tea and highly discouraged you from ordering the taro milk tea. The taro milk tea looks pale and almost translucent. Tastes like watered milk with a heap of sugar, not milky at all. The brown sugar milk tea is on point. Will come back for that. read more
