    Black Sugar Boba + Pearl Coffee Latte
    Stephanie B.

    This is the best boba I've had! You can order at the counter or at one of the 3 kiosks they have. Service is quick. The drinks come with a sealed top that you poke the straw through. The flavor is amazing, but not too sweet. I like the contrast between the boba and tapioca pearls. You can have both in your drink or either separately. It is visually appealing. It may be a tad pricey, but worth it for a special treat!

    Gave me a broken mango ice cream and would not replace . Can't comment on service because it's all Digital Touch screen. Drinks were fine but really it's China town, go anywhere else.

    Sweet chili cutlet with fries
    Erik B.

    This was my second time stopping into Tiger Sugar. I had dropped by Chinatown to grab a couple of gachas for Christmas and all of the great smells wafting around must have got to me because I found myself really hungry. That's when I remembered that I had been wanting to go back to Tiger Sugar because that first time I only got boba. I enjoyed the drink a lot but was bummed that I didn't have the appetite for one of their cutlets during that first visit so I was looking forward to finally getting to try the huge fried chicken that continually to popped up in my feed the past couple of months. So this time around I ordered the Sweet Chili Cutlet, Fries and Drink combo with an iced black sugar boba and pearl coffee latte with cream mousse. The combo is on the expensive side at $22 but the proportions are decent. If anything I was wishing the boba was bigger. The drink was great once again and exactly what I look for in a sugar and coffee bubble tea. I was kind of torn on the cutlet though. While I appreciated the size and amount of meat it had I felt that the breading was kind of lackluster in some bites and I think I would have preferred to just have the chili sauce on the side as opposed to slathered all over. I think the chicken was definitely worth a try just to satisfy my curiosity but I do wish it had left more of an impression as far as seasoning goes. The staff are courteous but mostly focused on getting the orders out which is fine because they have multiple kiosks which make ordering pretty easy. The interior is actually pretty nice but was not exactly inviting this time around. Maybe it's better in the hot months but it definitely had grab and go vibe with all the empty space. I will definitely be back for the boba but I'll probably check out other places before I make Tiger Sugar my chicken cutlet destination.

    This is a small shop, where most of the folks were having bubble tea and chicken cutlet. Both looked delicious. But I went for a couple of pastries. All pastries I had was really good. A chocolate bar with fruits on the top was my favorite.

    Quick and good tiger sugar flavor. Store is clean and can be busy depending on time of day. The boba is cooked very well.

    Got the Black Sugar + Red Bean Latte. Tasted really good, and price is reasonable compared to other boba places.

    Very small place, 3 self checkout screens, its a combined shop with chunky boss. Order was fast, under 10min Its okay

    Tiger Sugar is one of the most consistent boba chains that I have tried around the country. They are famous for their brown sugar syrup that is added into their most popular drinks, and for good reason. You place your order at the kiosk in front and wait for your number to be called. This location offers soy milk as a non-dairy alternative, which is great. Not all TS locations do this so I can verify that this is one of the good ones. My drink was made well and just as expected. I asked for 1/2 sugar since the syrup is already very sweet, and that is truly a good call to make. Order modifications can be tricky on the kiosk. They allow you to enter a note (such as me requesting to swap out a jelly for boba in one of our drinks), but may ask to clarify with you before making the drink.

    First time trying Tiger Sugar! They have two kiosks at the register area for self-ordering. They were super busy when we were there on Saturday night, so the line took a while. But once at the kiosk, ordering is easy and fast. A bunch of my friends are lactose intolerant, so they appreciated the free alternative milk option. There are a few tables within the store, but when the line gets long the place feels very crowded. The drinks are all really good! I tried the mango sago, which was loaded and delicious! It was a bit pricey, but it also comes in a default large size. I would definitely come back to try other drinks.

    The drinks were amazing. Three of us enjoyed all of our drinks. There is a slight wait but it was worth it.

    Tiger sugar in Chinatown caught my eye when we were walking with the vibrant decorations. The place was very clean and it made me want to visit. We tired the boba which was amazing and also loved their collab with chunk boss chicken! We tried the family pack, the fries were a 10/10!! Loved adding spice to the chicken as well. I can't wait to go back!

    As a first timer, I was annoyed by how disorganized this place was. Customers were standing line waiting to order or wait for their drinks? Who knows? People told me just to order at one of the 2 kiosks. I wanted the hello kitty cup, how do I order that online? So I asked one of the servers behind the counter. She said all drinks come in a normal cup but it's all hello kitty. You can order a special hello kitty cup for $5. Then how you do order the hello kitty plushy cup holder? Well that you have to order at the counter separately and can't order at the kiosk. Everything was just so confusing. But overall I thought the hello kitty concept was super cute. As for the drink I got the taro w taro pudding and boba. I wasn't crazy about the drink. But did like the boba. If it wasn't for the hello kitty not sure I would go back.

    Hello kitty collab
    Jonna N.

    I've been here three times, and I definitely think that they worked out the kinks of all the busyness from opening. Originally there was a problem with the order line mixing into the pick up line, but they put in new point of sale machine to order. Super smart! It was calm inside when I went so I was able to hear and ask someone where to go to order. The workers were nice and courteous. Very good service. They were alert when I had to ask a question, too. I tried the Tiger Sugar x Hello Kitty collab which is the Hello Crush drink which was strawberry cream with boba and a brown sugar boba. The Hello Kitty cups were so cute!! The brown sugar was my fave. The Hello Kitty collab was like drinking a dessert which was fine. I haven't had a lot of desserts turned into drinks, so that was fun! Definitely start with their brown sugar boba then move onto the Matcha one when you get a chance.

My friends and I each tried their specialty drinks and i got an everything croissant. We had high expectations because everything looked so good on the menu. Unfortunately none of us particularly enjoyed anything we got. All of our drinks just tasted like milk (both iced and hot options) and my croissant was oddly sweet because of the filling and I didn't love that. The pastries are actually being shipped in from elsewhere (they have exactly the same one in coffee shops out in Naperville too lol). Which leaves nothing special here. It's also very small so it gets crowded and swamped pretty fast. You're really constantly stepping out of someone's way when you're just waiting for you order, so that's not ideal either. Likely won't return.

We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

We didn't have any questions on where to order or where to stand when waiting for a seat. The staff were friendly and helped us find a spot to sit at. Ambiance: classic cafe in a city. Loud chatter, but it's a vibe. Very colorful and fun interior with cool textural elements. We had a seat that was facing the street so it was fun to people watch as we sipped and ate. Food: amazing breakfast selection! We ordered the morning sandwich and barbacoa bowl. The morning sandwich had THICK scrambled eggs which were super soft and tasty. I could've used more salsa verde on it. The bread was barely toasted. I'd rate the sandwich a 3.8/5. It got the job done. The barbacoa bowl was "really good" according to my fiancé. A great source of protein, fresh ingredients, nice flavor, and great portions. He would rate it a 5/5. Coffee: I am a coffee snob so I am quite harsh when it comes to reviewing it. Their machine is a cute La Marzocco. Appropriate sized "for-here" glasses according to the drinks. Plus, they were really cute. Wide variety of drink selection from your standards to the more girly-drinks (if there is such a thing). We ordered a cappuccino and small hot mocha. Latte art 4.5/5, temperature 5/5, flavor 4/5. The espresso didn't stand out to me, very standard flavor profile. However, the chocolate in the mocha was delicious. It's more of a rich, dark chocolate. Nice thin layer of foam.

While waiting, we checked out the small coffee shop inside the gallery and browsed the furniture, which helped pass the time. Our wait was about an hour before being escorted to our table in the courtyard. Initially, we were placed at a low coffee table with couch seating. It's a cool lounge style setup, especially for drinks, but not ideal for a meal. It would have been pretty awkward trying to eat comfortably. We asked to be moved and were told that table preferences should be requested when joining the waitlist.
