TBaar Bubble Tea, Fresh Juices & More - Chicago — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Don't understand the raving reviews at all!! Awhile back I ordered the wheatgrass smoothie which was all ice so definitely not a smoothie but more a juice drink. I went yesterday and asked them about making sure I got the same drink but as a smoothie and not a juice or cup of ice. So I left again with what tasted like water with ginger and lemon. I had also added a shot to it and it cost me $13.00 🤯😡 Really? Don't waste your money. If u have a blender at home you could buy your own wheatgrass and make it the way it should be. These are ridiculous prices even for a great smoothie I wouldn't pay$13.00.. But I might pay $3.00 for it if I felt lazy and didn't want to make it at home. But i will NEVER waste my money there. Don't bother. Devon market is right down the street and makes a fantastic smoothie for half the price.

To clarify: it was not the taste that was as disappointing as that it was all ice and extremely expensive. It was not at all smoothie consistency. And I wouldn't have wrote this but I specificity asked her that it would not be all ice as that it happened on my 1st order and she said it wouldn't be. I suppose it's like a taco joint selling pasta. Pasta pro ably not that great. So as I haven't tried the bubble tea maybe I will...

I was excited to see that they had updated their menu with new food and drink options for fall.

I tried the roasted oolong milk tea which was interesting. I'm always on the lookout for something that emulates the complex flavor of coffee without the jolt of caffeine. I personally would recommend doing 50% sugar and 50-0% ice as the tea flavor isn't very strong. I'm hoping I can try one of their chai drinks next time.

I also brought home the new mango Belgian waffle and was a bit disappointed. I was hoping for something lightly sweet as a snack, but no this is very sweet and firmly in a dessert category. The waffle itself seems both undercooked and grainy with sugar in some spots, and hard and dry in one spot like they were microwaved. Personally I'd rather have just a plain waffle made fresh, or at least to skip the mango syrup. But maybe I don't have the same taste as most customers :)

Lastly I was disappointed to see AI photos for their menu options. I feel like it's false advertising, and personally I'd much rather have actual photos or no photos at all.

Still, I prefer this bubble tea shop over the others in the area since they seem to use real tea and ingredients instead of cheap flavored syrups. I hope they can...
