"People weren 't lying when they said best smoothies ever! My husband use to go here when he worked in the area, and always talked about how creamy and delicious the smoothies are. I finally got to give Bambu a try for myself and wow, I am so impressed! Bambu is located in Uptown, with lots of pay to park around if you are driving. It 's also just a block or so from the Argyle L stop. This stretch of town is also known as 'Asia on Argyle ' or 'Chicago 's Little Vietnam ' as there are some incredible Southeast Asian owned cafes, restaurants, and businesses to explore!Bambu is really adorable, small, and clean on the inside. The walls are lined with gorgeous images of the beverage options. The selection is VAST, and with each drink, there are many customizations to really make it your own. I wanted to keep it simple for my first order, and decided on the coconut taro smoothie with no additional boba toppings. The drink was made in just a few minutes (I was the only one in the cafe) and was the gorgeous lavender shade I expected. It tasted even better than it looked! It was so creamy, and neither flavor overpowered the other. I can 't wait to come back throughout the summer and try more flavors! This is truly a little gem in Uptown, and I 'm so happy to have discovered it."
