While exploring Navy Pier, we came across TE'AMO Boba & Dessert, and it immediately caught our…read moreattention 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!

A cotton candy vending machine? Was I somehow teleported to Japan when I walked through the door?!…read moreI did not partake, but still think it's insanely cool! For reasons unknown even to me, I went for a hot, black, unsweetened oolong black tea. No complaints here, rock solid oolong tea without adulterants (the adultery will come on a later visit, now that we've established the base is great!) I also ordered a Lotus Croffle. It would not be out of character for me to wail like an FS Modulator 6024 about a lack of layers in the croissant. Then again, I do not expect a french pastry chef to be working in the back and not pulling their hair out over putting their creation into a waffle iron. That said, the dough was enjoyable and tasty, with the cream and lotus topping being luscious, luxurious, and lickerous. I also greatly appreciate it being cut into bite-sized chunks rather than ending up a croffle salad on my clothes. My one big note: if you don't count the windowsill, there is no seating of any kind within. More than that, the only garbage can is in the foyer. While the staff don't mind if you eat sitting on the windowsill, if you want a proper sit-down experience, you won't find it here.

It's just a beautiful, feminine space like even the bathroom was decked out in pink! I loved it. While there, I got a sandwich and strawberry matcha. I really enjoyed both. It's honestly made me crave strawberry matcha since then. There was one girl there working, and she was really helpful in explaining the difference in drinks to me. Can't wait to go back!

While in the West Loop on a warm weekend I was craving a refreshing drink. I did a quick Yelp…read moresearch and Matcha Cita came up. When I arrived I was amazed at how large the space was for a matcha shop. The counter to order was very long and there were plenty of tables of chairs available and they weren't cramped close to one another. The menu was located on the far back wall and the font was small so it was hard to look at the menu while ordering at the counter, but fortunately nobody was behind me in line while ordering. I ordered three drinks to try different things. First was the Pink Señorita with strawberry, pitaya, matcha, and coconut milk. Second was the Pistachio Honey Latte with pistachio, honey, and choice of matcha according to the menu, though I wasn't given a choice of matcha. Last was Bluetiful which included blueberry, blue spirulina, collagen, matcha, and vanilla almond milk. Pink Señorita was probably the more flavorful drink of the three although something about it the strawberry gave off an artificial taste. The Pistachio Honey Latte had a nice pistachio flavor that didn't overpower the matcha. Bluetiful was the least favorite drink since it didn't taste like anything at all; it had an interesting blue color but other than that it tasted like heavily diluted matcha with no hints of blueberry or vanilla almond milk or anything at all. All of these were ordered in 20 oz cups and I felt the price of $8.95 was a bit steep for each of the three, especially considering that the drinks didn't all taste quite as expected. By no means are the drinks from Matcha Cita authentic Japanese style matcha drinks, but they provide a bougie twist on classic matcha similar to other higher priced smoothie and juice shops. I did notice it was unsanitary for the barista to touch the garbage bag behind the counter as if she was about to throw out the trash, take my order at the register, and then start making the drinks without washing her hands, but I didn't want to make a scene and call her out on it; at least she wasn't touching the ingredients directly with her hands, I guess. If you're craving a unique type of drink on a hot day in the West Loop, Matcha Cita is an option but it may be better to stick with the basics and try to watch the barista making your order behind the counter to ensure proper food handling practices are performed.

A Taiwanese bakery. How could a place that loves Michael Jackson be bad?…read more Salted Egg Yolk Bolo Bun流心菠蘿麵包: Calling it "流心"(runny) isn't quite accurate; it's a bolo bun菠蘿包 (pineapple -shape bun) with a salted egg yolk filling, but it had an authentic, old-fashioned flavor that made me feel like back to childhood. The crust was thin and crispy, with a large air cavity, making it very soft and fluffy. The salted egg yolk has just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, and wasn't too cloying. Garlic Cheese Brioche Bun蒜香奶酪麵包: Perhaps its more Taiwanese name is "八蒜包" (Eight Garlic Bun). Its appearance and taste were very similar to those I've had at Taiwanese bakeries in mainland China. The cheese and garlic flavors were very strong, but the bread itself was slightly coarse. Hojicha Latte: The whole milk was very milky, but the hojicha flavor felt a little weak. However, it's already great to find a tea latte that's not very sweet.

Suuuuper soft & chewy bread filled with purple rice and taro. The textures were amazing. Best baked good I ever had. It's pricey but SO worth it!! 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Service here is just okay, nothing special. There's also a small seating area in the back that is open until 4pm!

Both came out in pretty quick time even though it was a busy Saturday evening. Loved the cream soufflé! It was something different that I wanted to try and it wasn't too sweet which was amazing. The soufflé was so fluffy and hot and fresh. The cream inside was sooo good! Everything was well balanced together and the float was also great. Only downside is that it's a really small place. So inside felt very cramped and crowded.

Kari's Rating 8.5/10…read more TLDR: -Any combination you want is possible -Single bathroom for patrons with Dyson dryer -appreciative of the different drink combinations They had considering I thought it was only Matcha milk tea Came as the first people on a Saturday, although we took 25 minutes to decide what we wanted, the cashier was really good at giving recommendations and she said we were able to do almost any combination mixing match of flavors. We ended up getting the Matcha smoothie with red beans on the bottom, as well as a matcha float with Ube soft serve. My friend got the Matcha smoothie and said the Matcha was a tad bitter, but also a little too much he said that the Matcha and the ice wasn't really well mixed. Therefore it tasted a bit icy, but he agrees the overall flavor was all right, but he probably wouldn't get that if we came back. On the other hand, my Ube and Matcha float was absolutely delicious. I knew I wanted the Ube soft serve over the Matcha soft serve because I'm very picky with my Matcha, but I also didn't want to get Matcha tea as well as the Matcha soft serve as I figured that would be a little bit too much. I would literally come back just for the Uber officer, it was perfectly sweet, but not overly sweet and the texture was extremely creamy and soft, perfect for a hot day. I'll definitely be coming back just to get that and I also appreciate the server, giving us her favorite combinations and suggestions. It was extremely crowded by the time we left the place literally opened at 11:30, so you know the restaurant has a good reputation already in the community! We will definitely come back!
