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.

DaBoba? More like DaCustard!…read more Wanting a little sweet treat, I stopped into Daboba for a Roasted Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea. I initially attempted to order at the kiosk, only to discover doing so comes with a 3% fee vs. ordering with a human. It's not about the nickels, it's the principle of the thing! I instead placed my order with the clerk - less ice, less sweet. Though it wasn't very busy at the time, the drink came out relatively fast. The service overall was friendly, too! Now, about this beverage... if I'd asked for a "surprise me," I'd be happier. This is because on its own, it was respectable and unique in its custard-like consistency. However, given that I'd ordered a milk tea, where neither the appropriate consistency nor tea notes made an appearance, my happiness and satisfaction levels go down. To give some credit, the beverage I received wasn't too sweet, and had a slight velvety mouthfeel. It was unique and interesting, unlike anything I had ever had before. Final verdict: there is no shortage of boba tea shops around, especially in Chinatown. If you're going to do something different, power to you. However, don't say you sell one thing, and sell another.

I usually go with strawberry but I wasn't sure how tart it would be.

While exploring Navy Pier, we came across TE'AMO Boba & Dessert, and it immediately caught our…read moreattention with its colorful drinks, mochi donuts, and impressive selection of desserts. It ended up being the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy a sweet treat before continuing our walk around the pier. TE'AMO is known for using premium ingredients, including organic milk and freshly brewed teas, along with a wide variety of desserts ranging from mille crepe cakes to mochi donuts. We ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, Thai Milk Tea, Chocolate Mille Crepe Cake, and a Cookies & Cream Mochi Donut. The Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, with chewy boba pearls and just the right amount of sweetness. The Thai Milk Tea was smooth, bold, and refreshing with its classic spiced tea flavor. The Chocolate Mille Crepe Cake was light, silky, and layered with delicate chocolate crepes, making it an excellent dessert that wasn't overly heavy. The Cookies & Cream Mochi Donut had a wonderfully chewy texture with a soft interior and a delicious cookies-and-cream topping that made it hard to stop at one bite. If you're visiting Navy Pier and need a refreshing drink or a sweet snack, TE'AMO is definitely worth a stop. The presentation is just as impressive as the flavors, the desserts are fresh, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. It's a great place to recharge while enjoying one of Chicago's most popular attractions. Highly recommended!

A cotton candy vending machine? Was I somehow teleported to Japan when I walked through the door?!…read moreI did not partake, but still think it's insanely cool! For reasons unknown even to me, I went for a hot, black, unsweetened oolong black tea. No complaints here, rock solid oolong tea without adulterants (the adultery will come on a later visit, now that we've established the base is great!) I also ordered a Lotus Croffle. It would not be out of character for me to wail like an FS Modulator 6024 about a lack of layers in the croissant. Then again, I do not expect a french pastry chef to be working in the back and not pulling their hair out over putting their creation into a waffle iron. That said, the dough was enjoyable and tasty, with the cream and lotus topping being luscious, luxurious, and lickerous. I also greatly appreciate it being cut into bite-sized chunks rather than ending up a croffle salad on my clothes. My one big note: if you don't count the windowsill, there is no seating of any kind within. More than that, the only garbage can is in the foyer. While the staff don't mind if you eat sitting on the windowsill, if you want a proper sit-down experience, you won't find it here.

A Taiwanese bakery. How could a place that loves Michael Jackson be bad?…read more Salted Egg Yolk Bolo Bun流心菠蘿麵包: Calling it "流心"(runny) isn't quite accurate; it's a bolo bun菠蘿包 (pineapple -shape bun) with a salted egg yolk filling, but it had an authentic, old-fashioned flavor that made me feel like back to childhood. The crust was thin and crispy, with a large air cavity, making it very soft and fluffy. The salted egg yolk has just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, and wasn't too cloying. Garlic Cheese Brioche Bun蒜香奶酪麵包: Perhaps its more Taiwanese name is "八蒜包" (Eight Garlic Bun). Its appearance and taste were very similar to those I've had at Taiwanese bakeries in mainland China. The cheese and garlic flavors were very strong, but the bread itself was slightly coarse. Hojicha Latte: The whole milk was very milky, but the hojicha flavor felt a little weak. However, it's already great to find a tea latte that's not very sweet.

We came around 12:30noon and got a huge bread haul at this bakery.

Suuuuper soft & chewy bread filled with purple rice and taro. The textures were amazing. Best baked good I ever had. It's pricey but SO worth it!! 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Service here is just okay, nothing special. There's also a small seating area in the back that is open until 4pm!
