I LOVE Argo tea & I can't live without it. As an avid tea drinker, it's an amazing thing to have so many locations around the city. I'm not a fan of chains, but this local Chicago company has won me over. I love their tea, tea drinks, tea bite bowls, quiche & even their coffee (it's illy!). It's also one of my favorite places to do work at. They'll give you 2 free hours of WiFi with a purchase.

What to order: Iced Fruit Sangria Tea w/Bubbles (their bubbles are vegan and just like fruit gummys), Teapuccino with Black Tea & Almond Milk & Almond flavor & the Spinach & Roasted Tomato tea bowl salad.

Tip: If you love tea, try it loose. Buy a tea strainer and buy loose tea, so you can make it at home or work. My fav kind is Gen Maicha (green tea with popped brown rice).

If you want to have your wallet stolen please go to Argo Tea on Rush. My wife I and visited this place for the first time this evening and her wallet was stolen right from her purse.

Oh and did i mention they limit their wifi usage to like 45 minutes after which you have to buy something else. They give you access to wifi upon purchase only. Starbucks anyone???

Overall absolutely horrible first time experience. I would avoid Argo Tea on Rush at all costs, unless you like having your wallet stolen.

I'm a big tea guy and I love this place. They do a lot of Starbucks-esque things, but with tea instead of coffee. While pretty much anybody can make a latte, the things these guys do are impressively creative. I recommend the Frost-Tea.

When it comes to tea, I only really like chai tea lattes. Their chocolate chai tea latte is superb. I imagine most of their menu is great too; I just haven't mustered up the courage to try anything else.

This place stands out as my worst dining experience so far in the 2 years living in Chicago. Sandwich was lukewarm and spongy. Tea was way overpriced for hot, flavored sugar water. Service was atrocious. When I'd finished my meal and went to use the restroom, it was locked. I approached the counter and asked to be let in. They then told me the bathroom code was on my receipt. When I replied that I'd already completed my meal and thrown out the receipt, blank stare and then they repeated that the code is on the receipt and they aren't allowed to give it out. What?! Maybe they should have TOLD me it was on the receipt in the first place then? As it was, someone was exiting the restroom, so I scooted over to grab the door, so I could use the facilities and get out. First time in an Argo Tea Cafe and no interest to give it another try after that experience.

I LOVE Argo Tea. My fav is Hot Green Tea Ginger Twist! Real ginger inside. Makes you warm & feeling good inside. Connors park has a fire place. Set is like a Conservatory. Super cute. Both spots are nice. Staff is friendly enough.

You know I was off social media for almost a year and a lot of my accounts I had closed down but it's been over a year and a half since I've been here and this location has really improved even more than it was when I used to come here before. Love the renovations they have done to it and not to mention the food is delicious. If you work downtown and need a place to have lunch or if you are a tourist downtown and looking for some really great tea and food I can tell you one of my favorites on tea is the hibiscus ginger ale and I always love the quiche's when I come. The Kale salad is yummy as well. All there foods are fresh and the service is fast and the people there that work there always make you feel welcomed here.

And of course when I give a great review I will give a great review because The Richlatino Chicagorican Fedora Hat wearer that speaks Spanglish and not Spanish can guarantee you won't be disappointed by the food, the beverages, and the bakery which is yummified to the Tea! So for me Argo Tea gets 5 Stars Richlatino Style

This location was a quiet & cozy spot for us to enjoy a simple date. We frequented Argo Tea at least 3 times while visiting Chicago. Nice tea selections and small bites to eat. My husband really enjoyed their oatmeal raisin cookies.

My first visit, and I am impressed. This is my new favorite mocha--super-smooth, not a hint of bitterness! The baristas are really friendly. A regular customer came in, had forgotten her money, and they offered to let her pay for her usual drink the next time she came in (she declined). Also: vegan donuts.

I've been coming here since this place first opened, and it's only improved with time. They redid the interior decor and moved the coffee/tea bar towards the middle (it used to be in the back). There was a kind of "lawless" atmosphere in the early days, but it seems more secure now. The staff are always friendly and drinks are as good as at other locations.

Awesome place with delicious tea! The associate suggested we download the app to take advantage of "app-y hour"- for $2 off each of our teas AND a $3 credit! Lots of outlets, free Wi-Fi, cool AC. It was just what we needed after a hot day around Chicago!
