Lemon Jasmine Green Tea
Precious B.

The iced Rose Latte with Milk Mochi, Sago and no sugar!!!! Absolutely amazing. I feel like this drink was personally made for me. I love it. No other drink and snack shop makes this unique drink and the only problem I have is the fact it doesn't have an option to make it LARGE. My heart is absolutely happy. Ever since this place got new management it has improved immensely!!! The cool owner is super friendly and I think that's what makes this place stand out amongst all the cute drink and snack shops in Argyle. I love this location and so does my son and his cousins. I ordered today, and got the opportunity to sample a potential new menu item and it was absolutely delicious. There isn't anything to hate about this place. Customer service is on point, food and drinks are on point and the place is cute and spacious. I highly recommend Uni Uni Argyle they have great quality cups for their drinks and that's another thing I love. A lot of places serve you drinks in cheap cups. Uni Uni has strong cups and lids, perfect for your ride and won't spill out the cup. Thanks for the great conversations every single time I've gone here. You guys rock.

Firstly, shoutout to the staff. There was two of them and they handled a dinner rush like pros. When we got there and ordered there were only a couple of people ordering and by the time I had gotten out of the bathroom the lobby was full. Secondly, the decor of the place is pretty cool. Great Wall design, mini arcade, very instagrammable. In terms of drinks - we liked them a lot. I had the Lovebirds Tea with Coffee and Tapioca and that tasted pretty good, and I love coffee so that was good for me. And my wife got the uni fruit combo Jasmine green tea and she liked that as well. Well come back next time and order food too!

Came here on a Thursday around noon and it was empty. I self order for my things. I got my drink quick and Japanese rice ball came a little after. Service was fine, girl at the front was friendly. My drink was really good and just the perfect amount of sweetness.

Got the peach watermelon Jasmine Green Tea Yakult with 30% sugar and less ice. I thought it tasted quite watered down and everyone that I was with also said it wasn't very good. I don't taste the yakult either but it taste like water with a hint of watermelon and mainly jasmine flavor. Service was okay and lot of seating.

Pinapple smoothie
Em K.

Stopped by Uni Uni and got a pineapple smoothie, which was solid and refreshing. I've heard their bubble tea is what they're known for, so I'm looking forward to trying that next time. The place has lots of seating, which is nice you can sit down and enjoy your drink rather than fighting for a spot. Seems like a great hangout spot and I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

What a fun experience going to a pop up here. I ordered the Grapefruit Mango Sago drink at 70% sweetness and it was PERFECT for me. They have delicious snacks as well....and the whole atmosphere was super chill and cool. The service was super quick and also super friendly. I don't live close enough, but I know if I'm in the area, I'm definitely coming here for some Boba!

Pu'er Milk Tea with Milk Mochi (Regular)
Minerva H.

I got the pu'er milk tea with milk mochi. I wish the tea flavor was a bit stronger and for there to have been more mochi. Value isn't great either - it's pretty small of a drink for over $7. This location is pretty spacious though, good for doing work.

Katsu Curry
Andrew d.

I'm a fan of their bubble tea and was excited when I saw Katsu Curry! Super disappointed that they put a whole lemon wedged squeezed in the curry - I'm ok with it on the side but it over powered the curry

Soy Milk Black Tea Latte
Steve A.

Got some bubble tea from this place on Argyle. It looks like one of those cartoonish bubble tea shops, and it is. Uni Uni has a few locations, including this one in Uptown. Has many teas to choose from. There's milk teas, as well as some non dairy milks to use as a substitute. A good place for an Asian business. It's among the many of these along this street. The inside isn't that big but has more than enough tables. A lot here to get. It's about $6 for a latte. Last time I got the Soy Milk Black Tea Latte. It was pretty good without being overly sugary and helped me to get cool. The rest of the menu features teas with the cheese foam that's on top. Has a lot for those who like bubble tea and other coffee. It's closed Tuesdays. There's milk teas as well as some that are okay for vegans.

Olivia B.

Odd first impression. First off i walked in to the overwhelming odor of fish - not in a good way - and obv that was such a displeasant experience. Second, the menu seemed different than what I usually expect from a boba/bubble tea place. I usually order strawberry or honeydew milk tea. The menu at the kiosk didn't have these options. I ended up ordering a "special" strawberry milk tea with milk mochi. I'm not sure what milk mochi is tbh. Also for $8, the cup is really small. I get bubble tea from time to time and it's almost always in a 20 oz+ cup. THAT SAID, the girl working put a lot of effort into making this drink, even muddling fresh strawberries. The drink itself isn't quite what I usually get and love. It's okay but not what I was expecting.

Smoothie joint, smoothie joint, smoothie joint, tehehe! Post completion of my run nearby, I discovered Uni Uni Bubble Tea Uptown - Chicago after a quick search of restaurants with 'Smoothies' via yelp. Uni Uni Uptown just happened to be ranked number eight within a radius of the area I was in, and not too far off from my route which made it very acceptable to choose. I ordered their large strawberry smoothie with cloud cream online via yelp after briskly scrolling through the 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. Uni Uni Uptown itself sits within what is referred to as Chicago's second Chinatown, West Argyle Street Historic District amongst a plethora of businesses and restaurants. During this visit, I was fortunate enough to find a parking spot as I entered the area which was pay by the plate. If you are not fortunate as I was, keep in mind that there is neighborhood parking, as well as parking off some of the side streets of W Argyle St. I just could not resist taking a sip of my strawberry smoothie after getting inside of my vehicle. Mmm, it was so good! Eeek! Brain freeze! Ya'll! And on top of being charmed out of my panties after my first sip, these taste buds of mine were surged with that cold delicious strawberry smoothie flavor that I love and desired. Since I am now familiar with Uni Uni Bubble Tea Uptown - Chicago, I would gladly order from again, which would more than likely be in the same fashion post completion of a run nearby. And besides, it allows me to once again visit the West Argyle Street Historic District. Recommendations: Uni winter special hot drinks (brown sugar ginger rose black tea); Signature smoothies (banana smoothie, strawberry smoothie, mango smoothie); Flavored yogurt with crystal boba (strawberry yogurt, peach yogurt); Flavored yakult (peach watermelon jasmine green tea, passion fruit jasmine green tea, lemon pineapple, kiwi); Fresh fruit tea (grapefruit jasmine green tea, uni fruit combo jasmine green tea, navel orange jasmine green tea, pineapple jasmine green tea with passion fruit, strawberry orange jasmine green tea). ~ Yabba dabba doo! ~ Thomas G

White Peach Yogurt with Crystal Boba
Aishah P.

Dropped by for a quick boba date and tried their Yakult peach drink! So yummy!! Nice and sweet and refreshing. Perfect for the summer. This location is not as interactive as the Uni Uni in Chinatown but I'm lucky I'm a few blocks away since it's super quick and convenient.

Fruit combo Jasmine tea
Tu Anh N.

My experience here is always immaculate! From the tea, foods and the people that handle my orders, fabulous!! Chef kiss! Their drinks are always on point and it is so beautiful too. When you are in argyle, stop by here for some amazing drinks!!!

Got the basic assam tea to try and it is very average. It's too creamy so the flavor of the tea is masked. I came for the tea not the cream.

Here are my pros amd cons: Pros - Its a local business - Quite - Great selection of pastries, sandwiches and bread (food was DELICIOUS) - They have wifi - Plenty of room to do my work when I want to get out of my house - Everything is made in house Con - Customer service. I didn't go there to get red carpet service, however I did expect a simple hello. Unfortunately, I felt like I was bothering the girl behind the counter. I walked up, said hello, and all I got was a stare. I mentioned that I have never been there before, in the hopes that she would make a suggestion. Not a peep. I asked her about the blend of coffee of the day. She literally said...."Its the coffee of the day". - Long story short, she didn't want to be there, didn't care about customer flow. Almost everyone that came in had to wait for her to stop talking to the back of house bakers. Almost never smiled. Its to bad that she wasn't taking her job serious. That place if great and I recommend going there. My hope is that the owner reeducates the employee on how important it is to simply say "welcome" or "hello". Many small businesses are closing down in this neighborhood. Customer service one of the easiest ways to get people to come back.

They move really quickly so you don't have to wait too long for your items. I've been going to Phlour for years and they've invested a lot into renovating the inside of the cafe. It's a completely different place since I first started visiting but the food has remained consistent. It does seem like they reduced the number of plugs which makes working from the cafe much harder. The music is also a little loud so I wouldn't take important calls from here but it's a good place to meet up with people. The pastries at Phlour are still top tier so I still visit to grab a quick pastry. The baked goods are on the pricey side but the cinnamon bun and quiche are worth it. Some of the other pastries are on the smaller side, so not worth the price but they are very tasty.

The Understudy Coffee And Books - Iced Vanilla Latte

Really great vibes inside: the coffeeshop and bookstore combo is the ultimate cozy pairing!…read more Didn't have too much time to browse at the bookstore, but I ordered a seasonal strawberry matcha latte and an americano from the cafe. The americano was nothing special but refreshing on a summer day. The seasonal strawberry matcha was a bit disappointing, due to the lack of matcha flavor (the color was not very vibrant, and the matcha powder itself was likely not super high quality or oxidized) and sweetness. However, I tried the strawberry corn cookie, and it was one of the most delicious cookies I've had. Corn in dessert has been one of my favorites, and the texture of the corn with the strawberry icing to make a sweet and slightly tart summer treat was incredible! Everyone working there was super kind, and if I had more time to hang around, I would definitely bring a laptop and work here.

On our way to class recently, we stopped by The Understudy Coffee and Books for the first time to…read morecheck it out. The coffee shop was bustling and almost full around 12:30 pm. We were lucky to grab the last small round table for two.  The pastry case was only 40% stocked at this point. We were happy that they still had our favorites -- 2 almond croissants ($14 for 2) and a cappuccino ($5 + $0.50 Oat Milk) to go.  The cashier was very friendly, patient, and welcoming. The decor of the store is modern and charming.  There were a variety of seating options, and many customers were working on their laptops while enjoying their drinks, giving the café a cozy yet lively atmosphere. The bookstore occupies about half of the space and features an impressive collection of books focused on drama and theatre.  If you are interested in theatre, this thoughtfully curated bookstore is for you. We noticed a sign indicating that The Understudy partners with Defloured Bakery, which also partners with a long list of businesses, including another coffee shop in the neighborhood that we frequent a lot. We have enjoyed almond croissants and other baked goods at that café very often, they were just as delicious and large, since they were sourced from the same bakery. However, The Understudy charged $7 for an almond croissant, while the other café charged only $4.50 for the exact same pastry. That's a significant price difference. The cappuccino was another slight disappointment. It was only lukewarm rather than hot, although I am not sure whether the oat milk substitution may have affected the temperature. Judging by how popular The Understudy was during our visit, it's clear that many people appreciate its ambiance, curated bookstore, and friendly service. If those qualities are important to you, you may find the higher prices well worth it.

Now that you all have gotten rid of the DJ table and added more chairs, it does feel more like a standard cafe! I'm looking forward to the menu changes. Thanks for your consideration! Previous review: I really enjoy their beverages and I keep coming back. That being said, there is almost no price transparency. The only prices they have on their menu are for the THC additions. I've mentioned this to the owner twice (he's a cool guy) but he has always sort of shrugged it off. It bothers me every time I'm in. Sometimes my latte with oat milk comes out different prices. Price transparency is so important for consistency . Not including the prices is a bit elitist, especially when the average drink is $6-$8. You should want folks to come in and comfortably order what they can afford. I hope this suggestion is taken into consideration. The drinks are good and like I said, I keep coming back but this has been a sticking point for me for a year plus.
