    Brown Sugar Boba and Pandan Tea
    Anthony V.

    Bought the pandan and brown sugar milk tea, both with tapioca boba. Both drinks tasted like watered down milk tea. Boba in the pandan was old and hard. Boba in the brown sugar was slightly soft and the drink had a hint of brown sugar but still tasted like straight up watered down milk tea.

    Oreo Brown Sugar Boba with Milk
    Selena S.

    i got the oreo drink and my bf got the mango slush and they were okay. I didn't like that the oreo one didn't come with tea and i basically paid $6-7 for oreo crumbs and milk, but it was good nonetheless. I enjoyed the mango slush better and it came in a cute heart shaped cup as well. i wouldn't recommend getting the oreo drink.

    Thai tea with coconut milk
    Tigui D.

    Always a great experience at this location! The people who work here are helpful. I've been at this location more times than I can count and I'm always pleased; so many options to order from and it's always delicious. They have two kiosks where you can self order and pay. In addition to a few places to sit, but the place is very small, always clean and welcoming.

    Avo Coconut Smoothie, Fruity Lover Tea, Roasted Oolong Tea

    I had the roasted oolong tea with boba. The boba texture was great and the tea was perfectly sweet at 50% sweetness. My friend got the avo coconut smoothie at 25% sweetness. This drink is delicious and worth trying! I would get this one next time.

    Taro Milk Tea
    Tiffany F.

    Got the taro milk tea with brown sugar boba and it was delicious and creamy. The shop is small but cute, with adorable places to take pictures and squishmallows to lounge with. Service was fast and nice.

    Really like the choices of add up. Especially the sago! Goes really well with the coconut dragon fruit drink! The coffee latte also really good balance. Just a bit slow. Kinda pricy though. Almost 10$ a drink

    Such a cute spot to pick up your favorite Boba. The restaurant is whimsical with flowers all over the walls, ceiling, and chandeliers and cozy seating. We ordered three teas, all of which were very yummy. You can mix and match the different milks, control the amount of sugar you want, add more topping. Really customize it to how you want it. The menu shows all of the top teas however there is a kiosk that you can order from that has more tea options than what's on the main menu.

    Mango Paradise Smoothie, Taro Lover Smoothie
    Jessica T.

    So good!!!! Reasonably priced, and came out quickly. I got the Taro Lover smoothie with tapioca and it was delicious. Some places are hit or miss with taro, but this place has it down. I also love the heart shaped cups! I would definitely come back here.

    Fruity Lover Tea Strawberry Fantasy Smoothie

    This is one of best boba places i've tried in Chicago. I have a pretty high standard since i'm from the bay area and i'd say this is pretty comparable. Kellen was so sweet to me when she took my order. I was a little confused with the types of toppings but she was able to answer them with such ease and expertise. My drinks were made so fast. I literally was just going to chill in the booths for a bit but they were already done. Exactly what I needed today

    Tao Special Tea (Assam) Coconut Milk with Dragonfruit
    Jordan F.

    Somehow I hadn't tried this place yet despite it being pretty close to home. We got the dragonfruit and coconut milk drink and the Tao special. The dragonfruit and coconut milk drink was really good. It was primarily coconut milk and sometimes that can be overpowering, but it was light and pleasant. I do wish it had a little bit more dragonfruit in it though as that part wasn't very obvious. The Tao special wasn't anything special. The flavor was good, but it was really just an assam milk tea. With the name I assumed it would be something unique and interesting, but it was quite boring. Aside from the drinks, I ordered online for pickup. They weren't particularly fast, despite not being that busy when I got there. The store was cute with some very instagram-y decor if that's your thing.

    Stopped by with friends after the Dim Sum and Drag show at Furama. Very cute and cozy place. Ordered on a kiosk and only waited a short time. I enjoyed my drink and so did my friends. We grabbed a table by the window and chatted. Steady business and quick. Pretty decor for IG photos. Some seating but not a big place. Bathroom in the back. I would return.

    Strawberry Fantasy Smoothie
    Katie L.

    Great boba spot in Uptown! Workers were friendly, easy ordering system, and our drinks came out timely. Boba was tasty and the cups our drinks came in were so cute! Pro tip: order 25%-50% sugar since these drinks do get sweet! They have a lot of seating (mostly booths) and an area with a pretty flower backdrop. There's some board games at the front of the place, so you can spend some time here!

    Thai Milk Tea with boba and coffee jelly
    Nicki C.

    Small shop but quick service! Order at the kiosk and drinks are ready in less than 10mins. Thai iced tea was delish, strong but sweet and creamy. Loved the boba and the coffee jelly. We also tried the fruity tea which was tasty and refreshing!

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.

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!

    BAMBU on North Broadway completely exceeded my expectations. From the outside it looks casual and…read moreunassuming, but once you step inside, there's a lively, colorful energy that instantly lifts your mood. It's the kind of place that feels welcoming whether you're meeting friends for a relaxed dinner or just stopping in because you're craving something flavorful and different. The menu is what really makes this place stand out. There's a creative mix of Vietnamese-inspired dishes and modern fusion options, and everything tastes intentional. The ingredients are fresh, the herbs are vibrant, and the flavors are layered without feeling heavy. I appreciated how balanced everything was -- nothing overly greasy or overwhelming, just clean, bright flavors that keep you going back for another bite. Even the presentation shows care, which adds to the overall experience. The drink selection is just as impressive. Whether you're in the mood for something refreshing and fruity or a more classic option, they've clearly put thought into crafting beverages that complement the food. It's not just an afterthought -- it's part of the experience. Service was another highlight. The staff were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to offer recommendations when I asked. They checked in often enough to make sure everything was perfect but never hovered or rushed us. That balance is rare and really appreciated. Overall, BAMBU delivers more than just a meal -- it delivers a full experience. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, solid drinks, and attentive service. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be bringing friends next time.

    A neighborhood staple and always busy. However, I am also realizing that the service is slow, which…read morecauses the place to get backed up and in turn, causes there to appear to be a flood of customers. Prices are about $7-10 per drink. I really like #10 Bambu favorite: Coconut milk, pandan jelly, red tapioca, and grass jelly (and then I add coconut meat for an additional $10). My friend loves the pandan waffles and always wants to come here for it when she visits.
