Boba Shops in Chicago

Chicago's bubble tea shops are scattered across the city's neighborhoods and into nearby suburbs like Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, and Schaumburg, all of which count toward the greater Chicago metro area covered here. Chinatown and the neighborhoods along the Argyle Street corridor are especially dense with options, but you'll find solid boba spots from the Loop out to the western and northern suburbs. Chicago's drink scene tends to mix Taiwanese-style milk teas with a growing number of shops experimenting with brown sugar boba, cheese foam, and fruit tea blends. Winters here make a hot milk tea just as popular as an iced one in summer.
