“Good experience. It was busy, but we got our order fairly quickly. The food was hot and delicious. Pot stickers were perfectly crisp, the fried rice actually had flavor. Will be back for sure.Parking: Parking in the garage behind is free if you park less than an hour. There is an entrance to the restaurant from the alley.“

“We come at least once every two weeks and we love this place! Drinks are always consistent and the staff is always fast to make the orders, even in busy rushes.The only thing that sucks about coming is the parking in front! There is never any parking and we have to park down the block or sometimes a few blocks away! Not Sweet Monster’s fault though.“

“This place is amazing. The owner is extremely friendly and willing to share information about the coffee and food with no hesitation.I order an espresso every time, and I can full heartedly say that this is the BEST one in town. Not to mention the incredibly low price for the espresso. 2.49 for what I'd say is a triple shot is unbeatable. The coffee is from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee.Instead of going to larger chains, visit this cafe for a change! Supporting this little cafe goes a long way, definitely go give a try if you are in the area.“

“Rejoice! The place for some great Chinese teas had arrived near you! Yes, it does share the fad with the Taiwan born boba drinks. But our eye was caught by the nice website with images of nice teacups and ambiance. Only 23 miles away from home we discovered that the trip in a hot and still pandemic day was totally worth it. In few words owner, Shaolong picked the teaist vibes in us and offered us a great real experience of sharing a favorite tea - he introduced us to the wonders of Zhang Ping Shui Xian (漳平水仙). Unlike the real "black tea", the Pu-erh, this one also comes in bricks, yet is a type of oolong with an amazing floral scent. We were honored with 4 different samples which we are currently slowly and thoroughly testing (3 pics). And yes, the fermentation levels are different - some definitely will give you a great oolong taste, but others are just a unique elixir on its own. But back to the house itself. I see and hope for great unrolling potential. This could become a place for tea lovers and teaists in training. Why not theme days, classes, shared experiences, a club? We would join. The 23 miles are a drive, but there isn't much of a real tea-drinking place in our Chicagoland (unlike smaller cities in North America like Portland and Montreal). However, Living Water Tea House is a great promise and it totally won our full support! Keep the cups warm!“

“BEST MILK TEA IN CHICAGO! Absolutely delicious and never, ever disappoints. The quality and flavors are impeccable - it’s one of those places where you can tell the owners really love and care about what they do. The Banana Milk is my favorite - unreal flavors and unlike anything I’ve ever tried. I hope they keep it on the menu forever!“

“I’m not sure why all of these people are complaining…this is a cafe. You don’t come here to take a nap or have a party…Honestly, the revamp has been refreshing. The place is clean, the dirty/damp sofas are gone, and the menu has received a much needed facelift.Anyone who comes to visit, try the traditional Korean inspired drinks and the fruit croffle. Two thumbs up from a Chicago native.“

“Was craving boba tea and tried this place out today. Pleasantly surprised with the place and how simple and cozy it felt. Tried their Hokkaido with cheese foam and it was great - a bit too sweet but overall it was delicious. Do wanna say that it is a bit on the pricier side in comparison to other boba shops. Going to try other drinks from here in the future. Overall a good experience and no complaints.“

“This is my go-to boba spot in Niles. It's situated in the same plaza as Hmart, which is very convenient to stop by before or after grocery shopping. Plenty of parking space. Their drinks are always on point, consistently good! Their fruit teas are one of the best. My favorite is the very mango drink with pomelo. It's so refreshing! Their service is fast even though they're always busy. Bright room with plenty of table and seating space. Highly recommend“

“Not only is the place super cute and aesthetically pleasing - the staff is also very knowledgeable and friendly! I got the iced rose matcha latte with oat milk, and it is honestly the best matcha latte I’ve ever had!! The rose flavor was fragrant but not overwhelming or artificial tasting. It’s like drinking springtime! Light and refreshing, and definitely caffeinated - exactly what I was looking for and absolutely blew my expectations out of the water! This will be my new go-to coffee shop ☺️“
“Food taste delicious and authentic. You be surprise how many pho restaurants food does not taste authentic. Love the fact you can place your own order using the tablet and don’t have to wait for a waiter to come take your order which means faster service.“
“The customer service was excellent. The place itself was super cute. The staff was super friendly and the food was great. The matcha milk tea was delicious and milky and the watermelon tea was fruity and flavorful. I would recommend it if you want to try a delicious korean snack.“

“Am avut experiența de a încerca băuturile acestui brand de băuturi, am băut foarte multe alte băuturi de la alte firme și este o diferență extremă. Băuturile chiar sunt fără coloranți, zahărul este foarte,foarte puțin iar aceasta firmă merită din plin maximul stelelor posibile !! Felicitări conducătorului și să o țineți tot așa !!!“
“Islands Cafe was deeeee-lish and Asel, the woman who works there, was very nice, provided excellent customer service and is a really good cook! I got a chicken sandwich (that came with plantain chips and garlic oil) and a passion fruit tea with strawberry popping. O. M. G! Everything so good! My sandwich was one of the best pressed sandwich I've ever had! Asel toasted it perfectly. The chicken was cooked just right. Juicy and hot and cooked just the right amount. Cooked until done, but not overdone. All toppings were just the right amount too. The bubble tea was great as well. I can't wait to return to try their chicken with maduros, black beans and rice lunch special. Thank you Asel and Islands Cafe!“

“Grabbed an order to go since a warm March day. The order was easy to place but it took a while as they had several orders before ours that mistakes were made on. We tried the orange chicken and beef dumplings. The orange chicken was delicious and would have that again. The dumplings were good as well. Interested to try other items on their menu“

“Cute little boba spot found inside the 88 marketplace. I got a large brown sugar milk tea. I want to note that if you want milk tea the only size available is large and it comes with tapioca pearls (no additional charge). The milk tea was one of the best I've tasted. It's super creamy and not overly sweet. I believe you can also adjust ice and sweetness level, but I just got mine standard.“

“cutest little store with nice ambience and different music rotation everytime i’ve come in, so that’s fun and new! i’m sure i’ve had at least 100 drinks from top tao!! so good and so fresh; everything they make is wonderful! so many options for everyone; fruit lovers, creamy and sweet, or traditional boba style, there’s something for everyone here! my favorite for a while was the thai tea with double sago (even in the winter!!), but on a particularly sweltering day, i will go out of my comfort zone and get either the avo coconut smoothie with flan and sago, or the mango smoothie with cream and sago: one of the nicest creations in my opinion! anything taro is also delish (add flan for a new flair!), but for me, sometimes trying something totally new makes a bad day better <3 top tao 4ever!“

“I am a frequent diner at Wabi Sabi - it is a great place for dine in or takeout. Good selection of appetizers, sushi rolls, and entrees. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been fantastic, but I especially recommend the gyoza. Definitely affordable for sushi in the area. If you are picking up, food is usually ready 15-20 minutes after you call in even if the place is super busy.Parking: Paid street parking in Kedzie. Surrounding neighborhood streets have some free parking usually but be sure to check permit signs.“

“This was a very fun ice cream. I loved the fish cone. It was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I also had a boba tea. But the boba was not fresh and hard to chew. So I took a star away because of the boba, but the ice cream was good!“

“Sticks & Cones is an wonderful addition to Oak Park! A great location with plenty of street parking. The ice cream is phenomenal. The frozen yogurt too!! They have a bunch of other treats to snack on as well. A special surprise of an arcade with your favorite 80’s games await you in the back - which you can play for free. We can’t wait to come back ❤️“
