    I am actually quite impressed! Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there were a handful of people inside. It's beautifully decorated and has a lot of comfy and spacious seating! I love that there's a big comfy couch, and the tables and counters are wide. The tables and chairs and whole space was very clean as well. There's a TV and they were playing Adventure Time. It was a relaxed and casual vibe! Ordering was easy on the screens to the left when you enter the space. There was one person working and they were very speedy with making the drink! I ordered the taro coconut milk tea with egg pudding, 75% sweet. It was perfect!! Not too sweet, and you can taste each flavor distinctly. The taro and coconut really came through and the egg pudding had a lovely texture. I thought it was cool that when you order this drink they include one topping with no extra charge, and you can pick any of the options! For $8 for this quality and size of drink I was happy. I can't say the same for some other boba spots that sometimes are too expensive. This spot was just right!

    I'm not usually a boba person, but I had to get the coconut banana smoothie! I love anything banana flavor, and this definitely hit the spot! All the drinks come with 1 free topping so that's a huge perk. The service was good. The lady took our order and made the drinks SUPER QUICK. The ambiance has a very cute theme to it. It has a large amount of seating, and there's a nice floral theme going on. Would definitely come back here when I'm around the neighborhood!

    I really enjoyed the inside decor (very instagrammable) and thought the tea was just okay. I liked that there was a touchpad to order so you could take your time deciding. I did end up using their bathroom and wish that was cleaner.

    Nice selection of teas and it's quiet enough and cozy. The music is not loud thank you. Nice staff or owner. The coconut banana smoothie w lychee jelly was good it was just not real fruit bc we didn't taste any coconut flakes or banana particles ... maybe they were all part of the powder. The brown sugar boba was good and sweet enough. My favorite was the mango smoothie and I added lychee jelly. It was very refreshing, sweet with bursting mango flavor, and the best part is you can customize whether you add cream or not and the jelly and boba etc. The atmosphere is very nice with lowfi type music and the decor is pleasant and cute. Gender neutral bathrooms and just big enough to fit a wheelchair. Love the neighborhood as it's in the heart of all the fun food and clothing places. Great place for a first date.

    The space is so pretty. The smoothies were good and you can order on a tablet. They made them decently quickly. It was too hot so we got smoothies to cool ourselves off. They have some fans around the cafe. The price includes 1 topping for free.

    Coconut Banana Smoothie

    The decoration was so pretty the cups are so cute and the flavor I chose... I never had anything like it before and I'm still craving it . I'm pretty sure it was a bit pricier than your usual boba tea place but babyyyyy it was worth it. I got the coconut banana smoothie? Or slush whatever it was it was so good omg I never had anything like it and I think I got regular tapioca balls

    Not bad, the care is super cute if you go in person, and teas all get 1 free topping. However I still like gathers tea and Molly tea more due to their stronger tea leaves flavor, this place is good for fun drinks and if y like toppings! (And cute for a date)

    Strawberry Paradise
    Vanessa A.

    Super cute place, very girly. Would be nice for a hangout or date . Not a tea person but i got the Stawberry Paradise with black boba. It's refreshing! Only 4 stars because I would like to see more drink options for non-tea people (coffee/fruit).

    Pandan Tea
    Long T.

    Got the Pandan Tea with no adjustments, it was really good. The interior is very nice and aesthetically pleasing. Would come back and recommend to others.

    Lemongrass Peach Black Tea
    Allison W.

    Soo yummy. I recommend the Jasmine Milk Tea or the Lemongrass Black Tea!! The decor inside is also very adorable :)

    Rajesh R.

    Great service! I ordered the brown sugar boba. Only suggestion would to be possibly have different size options.

    Tao Special Tea (Assam)
    Minjae K.

    This place is very cute! I got the Tao Special Tea and it came out quickly and was pretty tasty. The interior decor is done really well and I think it's a great place to take aesthetic photos. Would go again!

    Pandan Tea
    Anita P.

    Pretty pricey but the drinks do come with 1 free topping! I wish my pandan tea was a bit stronger. The cafe itself is super cute with lots of floral decor and would be a nice place to work.

    I ordered the roasted oolong milk tea with brown sugar boba. The tea itself was good but the brown sugar boba was undercooked and inedible.

    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.

I've been doing work around Argyle for many years, but somehow never got the chance to check out Bambu, so I'm really appreciative to Yelp for giving me an excuse to finally stop in and experience this cozy spot. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how good it smelled! I love that fresh, warm waffle aroma, it immediately made me want to try everything on the menu. The staff were all incredibly sweet and welcoming. The menu is huge, with plenty of options to choose from, but I decided to go with the mango smoothie with red boba, which was really delicious. I also thought the origami kit provided by Yelp was such a nice touch and a fun little addition to the experience. I'll definitely be back to try some of their waffle offerings because there were so many things on the menu that caught my attention. I really hope this business continues to thrive and do well in the neighborhood. Thanks again to Yelp for the opportunity to finally check out Bambu!
