Tai Chi Bubble Tea - Chicago

Contrary to another reviewer's experience, I requested almond milk instead of the half&half typically used and had no issue getting a vegan milk tea. The vegan options are limited but delicious and the packaging is cute. I would definitely return.

The milk tea cannot be made vegan, but the fruit and fruit teas, as well as the smoothies, are vegan. The jellies and boba toppings (excluding yogurt boba) are also vegan. The milk crush and zhang zhang milk can be made vegan by choosing a plant milk base (currently soy or almond). The rice bowl offers better value for money compared to the sushi burrito, as it can be filled with a variety of mix-ins and toppings, potentially providing two meals in one. Vegan sauces include Thai Sweet Chili, Eel Sauce, Yuzu, Ponzu, and Chili Hot Sauce. It is unclear if the Mango sauce is vegan, but the others are not suitable for vegans.

Unlike the experiences of other reviewers, I specifically requested almond milk instead of half and half.

The menu at this restaurant offers a variety of vegan options including fruits, infruit teas, smoothies, gels, boba bobs, milk shreds, and zhanging milk with a vegetable milk base. Some vegan sauces available include Thai sweet chili, eel sauce, yuzu, ponzu, and chili hot sauce. However, it is unclear if the mango sauce is vegan. Other sauces are not suitable for vegans.

To start, I really like the location of this restaurant. The area is charming and great for strolling. It's conveniently located next to UIC, so there are always plenty of students nearby. The cafe is spacious and has a cozy lounging area upstairs.
