Tea rooms and juice bars in the West Loop, Chicago
The West Loop's tea-and-juice scene is small but distinct — a dim sum-and-tea counter inside the Chicago French Market, Meli Cafe's juice bar in Greektown, and Jamba Juice counters in two of the neighborhood's food courts.

Frequently asked questions
- Are there any proper tea rooms in the West Loop?
- The dedicated tea-room format (loose-leaf service, multi-course tea) isn't well-represented in the West Loop today. B.I. Tea & Dim Sum inside the Chicago French Market is the closest format — proper Chinese tea paired with dim sum.
- Where can I get a cold-pressed juice in the West Loop?
- Meli Cafe & Juice Bar in Greektown is the dedicated juice option. Both Jamba Juice locations also offer juices and smoothies in office-building food courts.
- Is there matcha in the West Loop?
- Matcha is on most independent coffee shop menus (Meddle, Groundswell, Bisous Chicago). For a matcha-focused café, the neighborhood doesn't have a dedicated option today — check the coffee shops list.
