    Cool neon signs
    Eugene B.

    I'm glad my daughter is a big fan of good matcha! She found this GTB and boy am I happy she did. She took charge of ordering our drinks while I got to soak in the vibe. It's simple and clean with accent custom neon sign messaging on mounted on a few walls. The clear drink cups creates a clear canvas for the colors of the drinks to shine through. Aside from drinks, GTB sells products for making amazing drinks like matcha. My drink actually contained real orange pulp and and orange slice that looks like had been burnt a little for that unique flavor... I could be wrong but it sure looked like it! Perfect for a summer thirst quencher.

    This place hits the spot! I was craving literally Hojicha and black sesame which they had surprisingly enough! Though the matcha drinks looked really good though! I can't wait to come back and try them! Anyways the hojicha was perfectly made but they only had oat milk available for non dairy option. Hojicha tea went so well with the black sesame! You can really taste that black sesame. I can drink this all day! Service was quick! They have kiosks to order from. Ambiance- chill vibes. It does get pretty busy here!

    Mango Matcha CREAM

    Tried the mango matcha cream drink at Gathers Tea Bar and it was honestly a solid pick. Nothing super over-the-top or crazy, but just really well done. The matcha had a nice smooth flavor without being too bitter, and the mango added a good amount of sweetness that balanced everything out. The cream on top tied it all together and gave it a nice texture. Overall, just a really solid drink I'd definitely get again if I'm in the area.

    Strawberry Matcha CREAM

    The Strawberry Matcha Cream was easily one of the best strawberry matcha drinks I've had. The strawberries tasted fresh and natural, and the earthy matcha cream balanced the sweetness really well. We ordered it at 50% sweetness, and it was perfect. Definitely a 9.9/10 for me. The Assam Black Tea was just okay. 6/10 The tea flavor was a bit too weak for my taste, but I really enjoyed the boba and jelly toppings, which added a nice texture to the drink.

    Quick trip to Chicago and we wanted tea... wow, Gathers was an excellent choice. They have a big menu and the drinks are really refreshing. Space also has some seating area. Street parking available in front of the store. We didn't pay since we were going to be in and out, I grabbed the sesame hochica latte and the peach oolong. I am a fan of real flavorful tea Please come and create your own adventure.

    Theee BEST strawberry matcha latte I've had this far. Matcha was high quality and very green in color. Sweet but not too sweet. Oat milk alternative and different boba and toppings available. Customer service was excellent. We were greeted by multiple staff members upon entry. Street parking available. We'll definitely be back. Recommended.

    Gathers is always a great choice! For matcha, jasmine green milk tea, hojicha....they have a revolving menu of seasonal orders that I am always nervous to try but have heard great things about. The boba is always perfect and drinks can be customized to your liking. The store is aesthetically decorated and great for pictures (except for the crowds of people). I love that their cups have illustrations by a local artist. It's a must to try!

    The matcha powder I bought (pictured) is really good both by itself as a hot tea as well as in iced lattes with whipped cream. It makes an excellent bright green foam. I will get another container soon.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte and Mango Matcha CREAM
    Linda C.

    Came here on a Saturday around 4pm and we were able to find parking quickly. We waited roughly 20 minutes to order cause it was decently packed inside. Definitely order the cream version of the matcha latte. It's soooo good. I ordered 2 drinks: strawberry matcha latte with oat milk and a mango matcha latte cream with oat milk. The regular matcha latte has a stronger matcha flavor and the color is a dark green while the cream has a lighter cream color but the matcha was perfect amount. The cream is so much smoother. I will definitely be coming back and trying the strawberry matcha latte cream version.

    Gather's Tea in Chicago was amazing!! The drinks were really delicious, and I loved the vibe too. The mango matcha cream is so good!! I really love it and would definitely come back again heheheh

    I loved this cafe! The matcha was so good. It was the perfect amount of sweetness mixed with matcha. I ordered through a kiosk so I didn't have much interaction with the staff but they made the drinks well. The drinks did take about 20 minutes to come out but they were really good. I would definitely come back.

    not a fan of their matcha. we got a black sesame matcha but we tasted the matcha itself before mixing. it's very vegetal and tasted so much of grass and spinach. it has slight umami and bitterness, but just didn't sit well with the black sesame as well which was very grainy

    Strawberry Matcha Latte and Black Sesame Matcha Latte both w/oat milk
    Amy C.

    Takeout/online order: First off, I underestimated how popular this place is! We tried to order at 3pm on a Sat & they were not taking online orders until 4. Once were were able to place our order, it did arrive quickly. We ordered larges of the strawberry matcha latte and the black sesame matcha latte, both with oatmilk. I will say, they were quite delicious! I would give the strawberry matcha latte a 4.5/5 and the black sesame a 4/5. Both at 50% sugar I believe and they were still sweet, but not too sweet. I really enjoyed the strawberry puree and the fragrance of the black sesame! Some of the matcha does shine through which I appreciate, instead of the flavors overpowering the matcha taste. Both of the lattes were a bit on the thicker side and leaves a slight film in your mouth, which I personally am not the biggest fan of, but otherwise if I'm ever in the area I would return!

    How many grams of matcha do you use for the lattes? Does the larger size have the same amount of matcha and just more milk?

    Hi Kim, our 16oz lattes have 2 tsp (~5-6 grams) of matcha. Our 24oz lattes have 1.5x more matcha and milk.

    Do they use powdered milk?

    Hi JJ, to keep with authenticity, we create our drinks based on the origins of how it was created. Our Japanese matcha lattes use a whole milk and our Taiwanese classic and premium milk teas use a non-dairy creamer.

    The only downside to Tuesday's visit was that we came around 8 and they had run out of golden boba for the day.

    We stopped in here after visiting the gachapon arcade upstairs and immediately noticed how clean…read moreeverything was. The whole shop is really cute, too. 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.

    This was a cute little boda shop to stop by! They have ordering kiosks that you can use to place…read moreyour order or you can order at the counter. 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!
