    Donuts
    Les R.

    Amazing donuts! Tbaar is a cute little shop located in Chinatown on Wentworth Ave in Chicago. I was walking down the street after a meeting and passed the shop. It grabbed my attention so I decided to make a swing in. TBaar had donuts, bubble tea, juice, and smoothies. You order and pay from one of the two kiosks and your food is ready in a few minutes. Quick and friendly service and the donuts are simply amazing. Would recommend and would love to try out some other menu options.

    Well, time for dessert in Chinatown. Like many restaurants here, the interior is small and comfortable. You order on a kiosk as well. Tbaar sells rolled ice cream, donuts, and teas. We ordered uba donut and matched tea. After waiting 12 min in a not very busy time (we were one of only 2 groups in line), we finally received our donut. They forgot thebtea...half our order. We waited another 5 min for the tea. The tea was pretty good, but the donut not so much. It was fresh baked, but didn't taste good. We love ube but this donut didn't taste good. The establishment is clean, but the service is bad. If you want tea otbdessert, we recommend the Orienyal Tea House just 2 minutes away.

    Rose Garden

    My cousin and I ordered the rose garden rolled ice cream. Delicious! You can really taste the rose in it. My sister ordered the taro milk tea boba, which she equally enjoyed. We also ordered the mochi, which I have never had before. For me, the brown sugar was too sweet. The matcha was good, but I felt that the ube was lacking in flavor. When we arrived, there were a few people seated, so we were the first ones in line. As we were leaving, the line started, but it wasn't a bad wait, since they do have 2 kiosks where you can also place your order. I am not sure if they have central air or if it was out because it was warm when we entered and the staff had a fan at the counter. Despite this, we decided to stay there. Seating could be more comfortable with cushions and tables could be cleaned when customers leave.

    The seating area was nice and cozy.

    I was super excited when I saw they had mochi donuts and decided to order some. Unfortunately I was disappointed as they weren't good at all. Not sure if they just weren't fresh because we went around 7, but I couldn't even finish them. Giving 2 stars because the place was cute and I like that you can order at a kiosk. However, I've never walked into an establishment and not been spoken to at all. No hello, nothing, even after standing at the front looking at the flavors available we were never acknowledged. I understand wanting customers to use the kiosk to order, but human interaction will always reign supreme. You never know how a simple hello or even a smile that acknowledges you now have a new customer in the building can change someone's day. It always disappoints me when establishments fail on the easiest parts, simply acknowledging your customers

    Been to this TBaar a few times and I really liked it because the space is always relaxing and perfect to chill out with friends after a meal. Their milk tea was so-so but they have a variety of different flavors to try as well as lemonades and smoothies. They also started recently selling Mochi donuts that I would like to try one day and rolled ice cream too!

    There are a couple of rolled ice cream places in Chinatown. I don't quite get the appeal. It's just so gimmicky. It's always really dry and hard, which is the opposite of what you want ice cream to be. I've also had their doughnuts here and not super impressed with those either. They don't taste very fresh. Not sure where they buy them, but I assure you they're not made from scratch or made on-site. What I do love getting here are the milk teas though. Those are why I return. Order at the kiosk and wait your turn. Service is fairly orderly even on busy days. The place is always very clean and the staff friendly.

    Honeydew milk tea with boba
    Ariana G.

    My rating is solely on the milk tea flavor that I chose. I chose the honeydew milk tea because I wanted to try something new and I love honeydew.... however this flavor was ehh. I wouldn't get it again and now I know. I've tried the other location by Loyola University and I had a more positive experience there. I'm sure their other flavors are better but I just chose the wrong one. Also their boba was smaller than normal? Just a side note. I visited this location during the Chinese Summer festival at the time. It was very very busy and all the employees were working hard!

    This is a cute place in China Town. It was clean, and ordering via the kiosks was easy. We saw a sign outside the establishment for mochi donuts, and that is what enticed us into the shop. We ordered two mochi donuts. They were $3.50 each, and with tax & tip we spent $9 for two fairly small donuts. We are glad we tried something new, but the different bakeries in China Town have a much bigger variety of tasty treats at a better value.

    Strawberry & Yogurt with Lychee Jelly
    Michelle C.

    I have been here once before months ago and it definitely seems like it's popular both times of day, midday and nighttime. You can order at one of two kiosks that are located at a relatively inconvenient area of the shop, so there begins to have a line of people in the middle between the tables which is a bit awkward. The kiosk system was easy to navigate and you get a text once your order is ready. Aside from their large drink options, they do have rolled ice cream and Mochi donuts as well! I got the strawberry yogurt with lychee jelly which was refreshing on a warm day.

    Pleasantly surprised! In search of something refreshing and sweet after we filled our tummies with food and just had to check out TBAAR. We absolutely loved this sweet dessert and drink spot in Chinatown. We loved the decor inside as well. Very hip! We enjoyed our selections and we got to see them make our rolled ice cream. Everything was yummy!

    See overpriced doughnut place, enter overpriced doughnut place, purchase overpriced doughnut at self serve kiosk, pick up overpriced doughnut from counter in plastic container. Consume over priced doughnut. Sharing is optional. Novelty aspect of overpriced doughnut is that if you do wish to share, you can pull it apart in balls to share.

    Very modern and clean inside for a boba place. Offered a lot of different options from drinks to snacks. There machine was broke at the time I got my boba for Mochi Dough but it's okay. They had rolled ice cream as well

    They get a little slow if there are a lot of people online. Fortunately, I came before a line formed. Taiwan Handmade Taro Balls A (herbal jelly + red bean + mised taro balls) $7 - Delicious! Great texture and you can get it with or without milk. I went with milk as recommended by the cashier and it was a good choice. Rolled Ice Cream #3 Cookie Monster $6 - The ice cream itself was good and could have stood by itself. There was only 1 oreo cookie on top (not 2 like in the picture). The mochi balls was a nice addition on top. There could be more comfortable seating, but we ended up sitting at the big hardwood table. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

Another positive is they can do a 100% nut free smoothie because they have separate blenders for people that can't have nuts and I think that's amazing. I've seen places that mix nut and nut free in the same blenders and that's so dangerous / frustrating. I'll definitely continue coming here

Originally on a mission for a smoothie, I was greeted by a friendly staff member and a much larger menu than expected. There is a slew of inventive food that all looked amazing, ranging from sandwiches to noodles and sushi. I opted for the Maca Picchu smoothie, a mini cranberry muffin, and an empanada. I was blown away by how flavorful everything was! The smoothie was creamy, lightly sweet, and very refreshing. The mini muffin tasted like a firmer version of edible cookie dough and was a perfect sweet treat. The empanada was not crunchy, but it was flavorful and the vegan cashew cream was incredibly smooth. I was really impressed not only by the taste of the food, but the texture and presentation as well. There is a level of detail and care that is apparent and really exceptional.

Sometimes when you're stoned you do the weirdest things and crave the weirdest stuff. I was scrolling on DoorDash for what felt like 67 years when I stumbled on Deep Purpl. Their menu literally screamed exactly what my munchies were demanding, so obviously I ordered everything. First up the Acai Bowl 20oz with banana, strawberry, kiwi, granola, organic honey, extra strawberries, and chia seeds. I am telling you this bowl changed me as a human. I had never had an Acai Bowl before and now I'm obsessed. Every fruit was fresher than fresh, the granola was a spiritual experience, and the balance of flavors was ridiculous. Then I got the PB Toast and I'm still asking myself why I hesitated to pay $6.99 for it. GAWD it was amazing. Crispy bread, peanut butter, banana, strawberries, blueberries, honey drizzle. The best $6.99 piece of toast I have ever had in my life. Because I clearly have no self-control I also grabbed the spinach and cheese empanada and malbec and beef empanada. No words. Everything was fantastic. Every single item was a joy to inhale and I will absolutely do it again. The DoorDash pick-up was super easy and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only minor gripe is they don't provide bags so I had to carry everything individually walking home, which was slightly annoying. But honestly the food, the vibes, and the experience? 10 out of 10. Will be back.
