**Chicago Exploration Series** Let me start by sharing my criteria for rating bubble tea shops: **Decor:** Well, isn't the added value of a café to post aesthetically on social media and show off a premium vibe? 😏 **Comfort:** Since we're sitting down anyway, comfort is definitely a must! **Value for Money:** If a latte costs $13, I'm going to call it out! 💸 📍 **Gathers Tea Bar** This bubble tea spot is located near the University of Illinois Chicago. Without further ado, let me just say—this is my top favorite in Chicago! 🏆 🧋 **Bubble Tea Review:** The brown sugar flavor in the boba is absolutely on point! As someone who pays close attention to the balance between milkiness and tea aroma, I can confidently say that Gathers nails every aspect I care about. The boba isn't overly sweet or just chewy without flavor—it's perfectly Q and hits the sweet spot. The milk tea is harmoniously blended, and you can even choose real milk paired with their imported tea leaves. One sip, and you can tell it's a cut above many American-style bubble tea places. 👌 ☕️ **Drink Variety:** Their drink menu is incredibly diverse! From the most authentic bubble tea to matcha and smoothies that everyone in the U.S. seems to love—this place truly has it all. It’s a one-stop shop that meets every craving, delivering both variety and top-notch quality. **9/10** 🌟 🪞 **Decor & Ambiance:** The overall decor features a wooden industrial style—which, well, totally won me over! That said, the space feels a bit spacious and could use a little more creative touch. But honestly, it's still a solid, no-fuss vibe. **6/10** ✅ 🛋️ **Comfort Level:** I’d rate comfort pretty highly here! They have a long sofa where you can sit and wait for your drink. It’s clear the owners put thought into the customer flow and experience. **7/10** 💺 💰 **Value for Money:** Considering this is the best-tasting boba I’ve had, I’m more than happy with the experience. Even if a cup costs $10, I’d gladly pay for it! No regrets here. 🥤💖 Have you tried Gathers Tea Bar yet? What’s your go-to bubble tea order?
