Some noted
I just got this Mangonada at this place, and some of the ice are bigger than my finger.
Ran out of boba 20 min before close so we left in search of another boba location.
I tried this bubble tea shop for the first time and, unfortunately, I was disappointed.

“when i say im obsessedddd with boki’s ceremonial matcha!!”
when i say im obsessedddd with boki’s ceremonial matcha!!! i’ve tried countless matchas at different cafes in chicago, and the fact my local cafe makes such an umami rich matcha latte is insane!! the color is vibrant green and the flavor really reflects how good the quality is; you can also customize what milk and fruit you want- i usually opt for the strawberry jam in mine with an extra gram of powder!! it’s so good, im obsessed ꒰ ⸝⸝ ◞ ˬ ◟ ꒱ honestly i’d wanna gatekeep it because their drinks are just so good but everyone deserves to have a sip of it ꒰ ⑅ ´ ˘ ` ꒱✧ love love love it🩷

Usually order a lychee green tea with jelly, but this new matcha is a new favorite! Boki’s is an Albany Park gem and I love to visit with my teammates after dance practices.

Mango Matcha latte was wonderful :) I'm more on a sweeter side myself so I asked to add more syrup/sugar, but they recommended matcha to be drank with as low amount of sugar as possible so you're able to taste the "umami" flavor of matcha. The barista catered to my change in order and the ambience was good, definitely come back!

“Was craving boba tea and tried this place out today.”
Was craving boba tea and tried this place out today. Pleasantly surprised with the place and how simple and cozy it felt. Tried their Hokkaido with cheese foam and it was great - a bit too sweet but overall it was delicious. Do wanna say that it is a bit on the pricier side in comparison to other boba shops. Going to try other drinks from here in the future. Overall a good experience and no complaints. They even have a creme brûlée topping option which was quite delicious.

“Really cute space and a nice variety of options.”
Really cute space and a nice variety of options. The people there were super welcoming and friendly. I had the Kumquat Lemonade, which was a little sweet and very tasty. It's definitely exciting to have something new in the neighborhood!

“Tensions are definitely rising which is why you need tea time to calm down.”
Tensions are definitely rising which is why you need tea time to calm down! Boki’s Tea House in Albany Park is the perfect spot to sip on tea and get work done. The tea list is so vast they got teas your uncultured self didn’t even know were out there. They offer milk teas, milk foam, fruit teas, flavored yakults, Vietnamese coffee, and other non-caffeinated drinks. I got the peach orange lemongrass tea because I am a tropical person. The great thing about their teas is that you can adjust how much sweetness/sugar you want in them. So whether you’re into the purity of the tea or you like drinking a dessert they got a drink for you!

Great tea! They workers are also very kind and helpful! I wasn't sure what to order, but Hanna was very helpful in describing each drink. I highly recommend the Jasmine Milk Tea! You can actually taste the tea flavor and not artificial nonsense! You can also customize your sweetness level from 25% to 100% sweetness. If you want a little bit of sweetness, but still some savory goodness, I recommend 25%! The boba is also sweetened with brown sugar and honey which has another little kick of sweetness!
