I was walking by and don't remember seeing the store before. I saw the flavors in the window and thought I have to try. I like the flavors of tea that are more fruity and refreshing. I purchased the tea in bags and couldn't wait to go home and try. I LOVED the Kona Pineapple which was everything the sales person said it would be. If you like exotic flavors of tea you can't find in stores then this is the place. I will definitely go back. read more

Just stopped in today. Such a great place. The women working there was so nice and knowledgeable. Showed us around explaining all the hugh amounts of different kind of tea. I had a wonderful coconut ice tea to go. I also bought some tea to make at home. She explained how to make the ice tea. Great place will be back to try the pumpkin chia read more

I am in a book group and we just finished reading "The tea lady of Hummingbird Lane" Through the book there is discussion about "Pu'erh" tea which has the prime variety only grown on a mountain in Yunnan, China. It turns out that Adagio is one of the very few locations carrying this prime tea. Walking into this shop I was impressed with the great variety of teas that are available there. In addition to straight tea they carry an amazing assortment of seasonal flavored teas as well as teas for special flavors or occasions. The store also carries a complete assortment of all you need to brew and serve tea from casual drinking to any tea ritual you desire. Come and check it out. you'll be amazed in what they have to offer. The clerks are very helpful and knowledgable about their teas. You won't be disappointed with the stop there. I'll be back. Can't wait to try some of the other teas. Gordon G read more

What a good experience for me and my wife for our first time at Adagio teas. We didn't know what we wanted to try because of their array of options, but the sale rep that was working with us was very patient and sure made up feel welcoming. We are looking forward to another visit soon! read more

I've been shopping here for a while and the service is still top-notch. Love their teas! The "smelling jars" of tea have been removed because of COVID, but if you still want to smell the teas they will put them in a little sample cup for you to sniff. They still do teas to go, you just have to consume them outside (a small price to pay!) To anyone who wants to give them a hard time for insisting you mask up, Adagio does have an awesome website for online shopping. read more

Extremely friendly staff is always willing to help you find what interests you, and will happily brew you samples if you're not sure what you like. Repeat customers also get VERY nice discounts and freebies. (On my last visit, the clerk snuck in two free seasonal tea tins as a thank you!) Product selection is enormous. Even if you're completely new to tea you're sure to find something that sparks your curiosity. They offer tons of tea collections based on everything from seasonal flavors (like spices or sweets for fall and winter holidays) to nerd fandoms (tea inspired by Harry Potter) to the local color. (A set of Chicago themed teas) I will be buying from them for a long time. Extremely well run little shop. read more

went in for the first time in several years and had the most helpful sales associate! they helped us navigate all of the kinds of tea to get us what we wanted, and then gave us great samples. read more

Wonderful store with very helpful manager. I was able to quickly get a last minute gift and pick up something for myself. Thanks!

Really yummy tea- I bought herbal iced honeybush tea and even my kids loved it. I also bought loose chamomile and honeybush to take home. Will be back :) read more

Great teas and friendly knowledgeable service await you. One of the best blood orange teas I have ever had. read more

I passed by Adagio while shopping. The friendly staff welcomed me and showed me the fruity-tasting teas that I was looking for. They also have a sale table with additional 20% off. I am sipping blood orange iced tea while writing this...tastes sooo good! Friendly staff, easy to navigate store, cheaper than Teavana and quality products! read more

Adagio Teas - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

This place really provides a nice tea shopping experience. They have their teas organized very nicely and they have spots set up so you can have a sample before you commit to buying! The associate "Teresa" was so helpful to me in making my choice of tea to buy. I'm a really really indecisive person and I wanted caffeine but I love bursting flavor so I had to choose between mate and black and I got to sample a couple mate but went with the black sampler AND I got a bonus sample tea to take an try at home which was awesome because it was one I was really interested in getting too but wasn't included in the sample pack! I highly recommend coming here if you're new to tea and want I try it out. Also the prices are very reasonable so no reason not to try it out if you haven't already been here. read more

Very knowledgeable and helpful person behind the counter. Went above and beyond for service. And we love the new tea she introduced to us.

There is literally nothing bad you can say about Adagio! I loved the entire experience. I think the assistant manager was working the day I visited and she brewed up a bunch of great samples for the store, but also eagerly offered to brew up a sample of anything else that we felt like trying! All the teas smell/look all natural and fresh, they come packaged in airtight tins or resealable bags, and the prices are not outrageous either. I love that you can order online, but I will really miss the store experience. Adagio, please move to Houston! read more

Such great customer service by Kayleigh, Anna, and Sabrina!! It's 98° right now so this ice tea that I am sipping on is totally saving me! read more

Adagio Teas - Berry creme compote so yum, fruity, and tart! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Summary: 10:00 (when doors opened) on a July Tuesday. Two large iced matcha teas with milk. 8.50 (with Yelp app coupon) Friendly service, clean facility and quality product. ------------------------------------ My mom and I went to Adagio before an appointment and were very pleased by the experience. We both ordered a large iced matcha tea latte, which was then made from scratch using traditional matcha bowl and wooden whisk. The matcha teas are naturally more expensive, however very worth it. Using Yelp check in, the sales person honored 5 dollars off even though the coupon was for a free regular tea, with a discounted total coming to 8.50. Adagio offers lattes using soy or almond milk (we ordered one of each). We were able to sample other teas around the store while waiting and also said hello to the store beta fish, Wilbur. In addition the sales rep/'tea maker' mentioned a preference for less ice, which made for a stronger tea and better deal. Overall a very calm and friendly experience if you are searching for a summer cool-off treat, tea lovers gift or an excellent loose leaf selection. read more

Super fun! Clean, modern, and spacious, with tons of room to browse. And by browse I mean sniff all the goodies. Seriously, every single tea they carry is set up in a jar on the top shelf, so it's easy to open and get your tea sniff on. Below each jar you grab the stuff to buy, and they offer sample, 1.5 oz, and 8 oz sizings for purchase. So ya, you can get everything from your try-on to your buy-bulk on. They also have a cute selection of tea accessories if you're looking for a gift and can't decide on a specific tea. Bottom line, If you're ready to OD on tea sniffing, this is your place. read more

Can't say enough good things! I have gone here 3 times for tea tastings and it's been a wonderful experience every time. For 30 bucks me and 2 friends went and tasted 5 different teas, got to ask tons and questions and chat for over an hour, and ate free cookies and chocolate made with their tea. Then we got to take three really high quality tea pots with strainers home in any color we liked. I recommend it to anyone! My mom and great aunt absolutely loved it as well. The staff is very knowledgable and passionate. As for just regular shopping, the prices might look intimidating to some. Trust me, I drink at least 3 cups of tea a day, and this is the only tea I've found in a brick and mortar store that is actually the quality it claims to be, and I've found its actually much cheaper and easier to navigate than the places that are pricier, such as teavana. I had been shopping online getting fandom blends like reichenbach recovery and spoiled snake AKA Draco Malfoy, two that I drink almost daily, and even family that don't enjoy the media the tea is inspired by still love those blends. You can buy some of those in the store too! And they make amazing gifts and come in very cute tins. If I could give them 6 stars I would! read more

I went in for the first time today and fell in love. The people were incredibly helpful when it came to picking out the perfect tea for myself. My boyfriend picked out 2 and I picked out 2 making the 4th one free! They also gave us free samples with our purchases and let us try whatever tea we wanted. Definitely a great place and I will be returning. read more

I planned to stop in for a quick bag of tea, ended up spending close to 45 enjoyable minutes which felt like hanging out with friends. The staff was INCREDIBLY knowledgable about the teas and eager to discuss them and let me sample them. They really know how to build your interest in the tea-drinking way of life and an appreciation for good teas. It's a nice oasis within the mall. read more

Great place for tea, conversations with friends. Wifi speeds can be better but decent.

I was very impressed with the vast knowledge of Sabina, the sale person. She was friendly and went above and beyond to guide us through the vast selection in the store. We left the store with some exotic teas and felt like a tea guru. read more

The staff is very friendly and they have a great assortments of teas. I love their herbal blends

This place blows Teavana away! It is set up so that you can examine and smell each tea before purchasing, whereas at Teavana you have to ask an employee to take a tin from the wall and waft it your way. Adagio also has a much better selection of tea, both the regular unflavored, and the type with pieces of fruit and flowers. The prices are also MUCH cheaper than Teavana. Check in on yelp for a free cup of tea to go! read more

Bought teas for a gifts and one for my family to try out. Store look clean and organized.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Jason is incredibly knowledgeable on the subject of tea, and if it's not busy he's happy to educate you on the subtleties of the different crops. The pricing is very fair, and after you finish the 10 glasses of tea from your tasting, there's enough caffeine in your system to blast past the designer strollers to your next destination in the mall without actually touching the ground. If you want blends that taste like Chanel number 5, scoot on down to Teavana. If you want single source heirloom Chinese teas hand harvested the same way they have been for centuries by artisan masters, Check out Adagio. It's essentially the difference between a Mondavi blend and Chateau Montelena Cab reserve. read more

I am by no means a tea connoisseur. I drink it and enjoy it but I don't know the difference between an oolong and a black tea. I only brew loose tea because I happened on the cutest little teapot a few years ago. But I want to know more, so I was mildly excited about checking out Adagio. I had no expectations except the great reviews on Yelp and they proved to be completely accurate. This place was awesome! When we walked in we were cheerfully greeted and after a few minutes to breath and take everything in the lovely person behind the counter determined we were first time visitors and gave us a pleasant and non-pushy explanation of why Adagio is so wonderful. Like we couldn't already tell by the well laid out inventory, canisters of loose tea just inviting you to open and smell and touch and pots of fresh brewed tea steaming all over the store begging you to sample. We sampled everything that was out, ordered a Matcha latte with soy milk and a cup of Mocha Nut Mate, both recommended based on our taste descriptions and both delicious. We ended up purchasing several bags of loose tea (buy four get one free!) and they even made us a custom blend. I told the salesperson we enjoyed a certain name brand "cold care" herbal tea, she looked it up online, made some notes on ingredients, consulted Adagio's own book of herbs and conversed with me about the medicinal properties of each item. We agreed on a combination of items and I watched her measure and mix my blend right in front of me. Can't wait to try it the next time I'm feeling under the weather! All in all a terrific experience. They may just make a tea connoisseur of me! read more

Erika was soo amazing! She gave my young daughter who happens to love fruity teas, a decaffeinated "gummy bear" flavored tea. She basically gave her a field trip in the store and showed her the experience of making tea. he was so kind, patient, and offered us such a surprisingly fun time! If you do in, ask for Erika! Oh, and the tea was delicious! read more

The #ThaiChai was made w real cane sugar, brewed while I shopped in store. Delicious!! The service was really great & friendly. The sales lady even showed me how to make a really great tea! read more

I have been to this Adagio tea location three times for a tea tasting. While each visit has been pleasant, the most recent one was the best. The manager, Laura, let us try four different types of tea after teaching us about the origins and processing of each distinct tea type. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and really made us feel at home. There was no pressure to buy anything. The tea lesson was entertaining as well as informative. I prefer adagio tea over other loose leaf tea that I've tried. I haven't had a bad cup of tea from adagio, and I've been drinking their tea for a few years. I HIGHLY recommend this company and this location. read more

Visited Adagio for the first time today, and couldn't have been happier with my purchases! Shane helped me out, and his charisma and knowledge definitely influenced my buy. Great prices and delicious tea. Also recommend Papa's Natural Honey! Yum. I will definitely be coming back here. Huge selection and reasonable prices. read more

Great selection! Jacob really helped us out on what to get and what kind of teas to try. We spent an hour there just enjoying our time.

I just had a fabulous tea tasting experience with a friend of mine here. Elliott was great and very informative. We learned a lot and had a very nice time. I thought we would only be there about a half hour but we spent an hour and a half tasting and learning. I would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys tea. read more

I'm still loving this store. If you like tea, this is the place for you. The tea is sold pre-packaged, either as loose tea or tea bags. This means there is no waiting around for your turn to choose and smell containers of tea that are inaccessible behind a counter. Each tea is in a jar which you may open and smell, immediately above the pre-packaged product. The staff will also happily make you a cup of tea to sample. You can also purchase a to-go tea, and there are various sorts of accessories as well - cups, tea pots, even little cookies. There is also a store not far from the shopping on North Michigan that is worth visiting if you're in the city and not in the north suburbs. read more

Great friendly staff (without the pushiness of teavana). Great store layout. I like how they offer loose leaf and teabags of the same flavors so you can choose your favorite form. I also like the "fandom" aspects. I'm a huge sf&f buff and didn't expect "fandom" blends being offered in a tea store. I also enjoyed being able to sample a tea I was worried might trigger a mild but allergy I have. I was indeed allergic to it after trying but because they let me try it first I didn't buy a whole tin of it before determining I was allergic. (For reference I think its the hazelnut flavor in the Aquarius blend I'm allergic to.) I've been to teavana, David's tea, and TeaGschwendner in person and so far I like this tea shop best. read more

Love this place! They have a HUGE assortment of teas, honey, and other items for the tea connoisseur. They also have a great rewards program and even give you free samples! Highly recommended read more

I can't go to Old Orchard and NOT come to Adagio Teas. There's just no way. I've been a fan of Adagio Teas since it first opened. From the moment you walk in (after tasting the delicious free samples of teas outside, of course), its a wonderful browsing/shopping extravaganza. The layout and design of the store is ingenious, encapsulated by the gorgeous lighting and the manner in which the teas are displayed. All in see-through containers, of which you can pop the tops and get a whiff of any and every blend of tea you desire. The staff is always warm and inviting. I'm consistently blown away by how knowledgeable they are about their stock. They'll even know altered/discontinued teas when I mention I'm looking for them and are able to recommend something similar. Its because of them I never leave this store empty handed. Adagio is a far cry from its direct competitor, Teavana, which I always found to be outrageously expensive and difficult to traverse. You don't have to be a tea snob to appreciate what Adagio has to offer. From sample sizes to 16 oz. bags, from loose leaf to full leaf and tons of utterly gorgeous teaware, even if you're a complete noob, there is something for everyone here. read more

Went for a couple tea tasting through Groupon - Great experience overall! Illeana was very knowledgeable of the teas and made the tasting informative and fun. Loved trying the three teas we got to pick. She also showed me a whole new world of tea cookies that actually have tea in them so I purchased a couple of those. Only downside was that while we were sitting at our tea tasting, there was a plate of cookies in front of us and a customer walking by thought they were samples and took one of our cookies. We weren't offered a replacement cookie considering that there were only 3 cookies. Happy with my purchases and will come back to try more! :) read more

What a lovely store this is. It would seem that Adagio has put as much thought into its retail outlets as it has with its products. Everything has been designed to enhance the experience of shopping there as well as ensuring that you can continue the same high level of tea enjoyment at home. I sound like an advertisement, don't I? The fact is that I was very impressed with this place, and the willingness of the sales staff to work with me to find teas I enjoyed. From small containers of tea on the shelf which you're encouraged to sniff, to actually having a small cup brewed for you if you want to sample the teas which interest you, Adagio seems to be focused on ensuring that you get exactly what you like. If you love tea, this is a place to come and commune with the leaf. read more

This place deserves a shout out. One employee served us a free "tea flight" so we got to sample four different teas. He spent a lot of time with us explaining the different teas, beyond what we already know. We had a vanilla rooibos, which I purchased, as well as black pearl tea, mocha nut matte and vanilla green tea. All the teas were delicious and "properly" brewed. Apparently this made all the difference because the black tea was the smoothest I've ever tried. The place also offers meditation and tea classes, and the best part for an extra few bucks per oz, you can make your own tea. Alex Tea, yum yum :). read more
