Tea Monster

Quick place to stop by for a simple drink like tea. Especially the location is inside the Block37 mall . It's a good place to get the drinks before you heading to their parking garage. This mall also is a place for Blue line & Red line CTA. Teas were made very quick and just exactly what we want, less sweet but regular ice

After a climbing session, a refreshing boba drink was just what I needed! Tea Monster and Jian are housed in the same space in the pedway of the Block 37 mall complex. I went on a weekday around noon, and they were getting a good amount of traffic. The 3 employees were definitely working hard, and I was pleasantly surprised that the wait wasn't as long as I anticipated. Although the jianbing looked good, I only had time to order a drink.I ordered the genmaicha with less sugar, regular ice, and tapioca. I was impressed by the strong tea flavor and the soft boba. The sweetness level was perfect. In addition to pure tea drinks, they also have smoothies and fruit teas. I would recommend this boba shop if you prefer strong tea flavors!

Definitely try this if you're curious. It's both savory and sweet. The crust is sweet and crunchy, but you have the egg and the ingredients (of your choice) for the savory part. It's in the middle of a downtown mall, so don't expect any ambiance really. My only complaint is that it can take a LONG time to get your food. I do hope that improves because I do like this!

All the way at the very lower level of Block 37 on the way to the train. Cute little Boba shop.The boba was very soft and chewy. I got the Brown sugar, dirty boba. Less sweet. Ordered on a kiosk. It took a little over 7 minutes, and there were no people there.

Pluses: Kiosk for ordering. Specify less sugar, less ice or tea versus milk. Con: cream top is commercwhipped cream

This spot is in the basement of block 37 near the entrance for the blue line train. The mango dirty boba was extremely refreshing and delicious on a warm summer day. Don't go if you are in a rush. I waited about 10-15 minutes on a Saturday night around 6:30pm and wasn't in a rush. Current hours online say they close at 6:30pm, but I'm unclear if that time is correct due to the fact that they were still accepting orders close to 6:50 when getting my order.

It was our first time trying out Tea monster and it was a wonderful delight! Their boba is not overly sweet like other spots and their Jianbing is really good. It was also our first time trying that time and it has a wonderful texture and also flavor. I would recommend! They were busy so service is a bit slow but there is a kiosk to order. The ambiance is very cute and aesthetic for photos and a cute date!

The dirty taro latte was amazing. I got it with less sugar, and that was the perfect level of sweetness for me. The taro flavor was decently strong, and the pearls were chewy and flavorful.

Great bubble tea/fruit tea/smoothie spot conveniently located at the Washington Blue Line stop/Block 37 entrance. I noticed it a few days ago as I was headed from the Washington blue line stop to the pedway. I decided to try it today and had a great mango smoothie. I ordered at the kiosk and received my smoothie quickly. Love the cute cups! I plan on making it a regular stop and next time I'll try a jianbing and fruit tea.

New bubble tea place in Chicago that opened inside the Washington Blue line stop. You have to walk down into the station, and Tea Monster is in a booth outside of the fare stations right by the Block 37 subway entrance. The hours have been a bit unpredictable - hours online and Yelp haven't always matched what's posted on the window, and they've been closed a few times when I've come by. There are kiosks outside to order automatically, and every time I've come by there's been a small crowd with a 10-15 min between ordering and drinks. There's been the same guy there everytime making the drinks who is very nice. Service can be slow especially if there's a lot of orders since there's only one person mixing the drinks.Drinks at Tea Monster are great and it's no wonder it's already very popular. Menu is extensive and has a lot of unique options like brown sugar ginger tea and fruit tea with cheese foam topping. Original milk tea is one of the best in Chicago. Definitely come check Tea Monster out.
