    Brown sugar boba with chocolate chips + strawberry mochi drink
    Clarissa C.

    An iconic boba chain all across the US!! I remember the lines used to be insanely long when it first opened in California, but we walked in to no line at all on a Saturday. It's combined with the fried chicken cutlet and cream puff shop, so there's some seating available. The decor is very tiger sugar! You order on kiosks, and grab it from the staff at the counter. I got the brown sugar boba with chocolate chip (bad translation on their end - they definitely meant Oreo cookie crumble lol). The first few sips were weird because I forgot to mix the brown sugar into the drink, so it felt a bit even alcoholic tasting? But after mixing, I thought this was delicious and I just loveeee any dessert that had Oreo crumble in it. A bit pricey though to be honest. My friend got the strawberry mochi drink, which surprisingly came with 4 different toppings in a very topping forward way. It had coconut jelly, rainbow jelly, boba, and more. The flavors were really nice here too!!

    Super quick service queue. You can fill out your order and then there is plenty of space while you wait. Didn't wait too long for my brown sugar boba! The boba pearls came out fresh and that is something I always notice right away. It was delicious and I'll be coming again.

    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!

    The taro milk was perfection - especially since I asked for it to be less sweet. The default sweetness for the brown sugar milk tea was too much for my taste personally, but still deliciously rich and creamy. The drinks were ready quickly.

    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.

    I got their unique ice cream that look like and taste like a mango I also tired their deep fried mochi balls

    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.

    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.

    Cute and busy cafe! We came midday on Saturday and everyone seemed to be here. Good vibes,…read morefast-paced and so many drinks options. 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 plushies sitting on the couch in the waiting area and a little floral Instagram wall that's clearly meant for photos. We also very much appreciated that they have a bathroom, which isn't always guaranteed in Chinatown spots. I got the large Fruity Party drink and loved it. It had slices of citrus floating in it plus a rainbow of fruit jellies at the bottom. It was both super refreshing and really pretty. I'd absolutely order it again. My sister got the medium kumquat lemon seasons tea. It was super strong and concentrated, which is just the way I like my tea. I learned that I liked kumquat kumquat so that's a fun bonus. We'll definitely be back next time we are in Chinatown.

They have a good amount of options but not too many that it's overwhelming. I got the mango green tea with fruit jelly at 25% sweetness and regular ice. As someone who doesn't love overly sweet drinks this was pretty solid, any sweeter and it would have been too much. The drink came out super quickly and there is a ton of space to sit inside if you choose!
