Ten Cafe — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Ten Cafe is located off of Western Avenue and Roscoe (Roscoe Village) in the strip plaza; watch out for google maps giving iffy directions to this destination. Ten Cafe is super cute and aesthetically put together with their friendly staff who know their stuff. Customers that I experienced in my short visit are a mixed bag, however; laid back and casual but there were also some suburban Karen vibes present but that’s neither here nor there. 🫠 Our order for a party of three consisted of seaweed salad, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, chocolate rolled ice cream with boba topping and two types of boba; taro milk cloud w coconut milk and passion fruit popping boba and Brown Sugar Boba Tea with Tapioca boba. I would love to see a kids menu option here (it would help immensely by helping to avoid decision fatigue ) as well as caffeine free boba drink options for those who don’t love tea...

Sometimes their boba aren’t really flavorful and just hard and taste like they’re simply boiled. HOWEVER, their lunch (?) deal is a great deal. You get a bubble tea and fried chicken & fries.

I don't really recommend their mango milk juice? Because it tastes very artificial and powdery. But recommend getting...

I was here once on my own and while the tea was good, I got super nauseous and threw up after finishing my drink. I chalked it up to a coincidence. However, I came back today with my husband and we both had a boba and both got nauseous after drinking some of it. My husband couldn’t even finish his, he had to pull over and throw up. Not sure if the boba is undercooked but something is up with the drinks if they’re making us sick. Unfortunately we won’t be returning even though like I said the drinks themselves are good. Just a heads up that I’ve now experienced this twice, I was really trying to give this place a chance because I was so excited to have a boba...
