It’s a great spot to grab something sweet and quick. The vibe is casual and fun, perfect for a little treat. We also love that they have a ramen wall for self-service, which is such a unique touch!

They also offer a nice variety of bubble teas and coffees to pair with your croffle or ramen. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for tasty desserts and drinks in a relaxed setting. 🧇🧋🍜“

I'll keep this place on my radar when I come back!!“

“Very nice service and very clean would go again but the donut was a little bit too sweet. I love the tiramisu though 10 out of ten would get again.“

“Went to pick up a sandwich next door at Firehouse, while waiting for it to be made I walked over to this MilkTea shop. First time having anything Boba, so I went in and had a few curious questions about the teas, drinks, extras ect. The cashier was super nice, answered all questions, I got the Chocolate Boba Milk Tea and I thought it was great. The tapioca was good too. The place is very clean, neat, the bar area was also tidy and well kept. I saw there was a screen off to the side where you can order in case there’s a bit of a line at the cashier which was nice. Will be coming back to get a smoothie or something different from the selections next time.“

“First time here and my boba was delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful choosing a drink. I will definitely be back and bring my daughter!“

“I love all of your amazing drinks!!!“

“It is a nice and clean place for boba. Not really a fan of the prices but they are sort of reasonable. Brown sugar boba is a 10/10, tapioca was squishy but the drink itself was sweet. Could do better with their sanitary ways. Would recommend!“

“Soooo Good..!!!! 💯💯💯👻👻👻👻👻“

“The team here is super friendly and very responsive. I usually get a response through email in 2-3 hours. Whenever I need inventory, they let me pick it up the next day at the Warehouse. When they deliver, it’s always on Thursdays and very reliable. Great company to deal with!“

“I got a pumpkin spice latte with brown sugar boba and the tapioca was super soft, chewy and warm! They’re also doing a Barbie collab right now which allows you to get a free Barbie straw topper if you get one of their Barbie themed drinks; I tried the Barbie Pink-Ade last time and it was refreshing!“

“I got the Amore crepe with bananas and a scoop of strawberry ice cream. The fresh crème on this thing was beyond delicious. I have not enjoyed a crepe this much in many years. Although the place was very busy my crepe was ready in 5 minutes. They also did not skimp on the ingredients.“

“Tried this location this past August mainly for the sake of my 9-year-old son who loves CBT. We just got done eating dinner so naturally I have to ask him what he wanted for dessert.

Just like any other Chill parlor, delivers the same consistent taste which isn't necessarily the best tasting bubble tea but definitely not the worst either.

I've heard some ppl describe it as the McD's of bubble tea being it's not deemed authentic like other higher quality Asian chains and originated from Chi-Town.

Honestly it's not that bad at all and the older of my 2 sons claims it's his favorite brand in which case it was the very first bubble tea he drank (Taro) just before his 3rd birthday at the Hawthorn Mall location.

We live pretty far northeast in Lake County in Beach Park but if ever in the area again and my son gets that craving for CBT, we'll be back in. Hope for continued success & prosperity for the owner(s).“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“We stopped here on a whim while we waited for a tire repair at the local Firestone. Super friendly staff. Lots of customers coming in to place orders. My husband daughter ordered fries chicken and chicken tenders with fries and they did warn us it would take twenty mins because they cook them fresh to order. They were the crispiest, tastiest, flakiest pieces of chicken. The fries were awesome too. I had a single chicken taco and it was fresh, flavorful and delicious! We also ordered some bubble tea blended drinks that were good. I'm glad we stopped here.“

“Kurimu is a very unique ice cream shop. They have lots of unique flavors that are very delicious. You can sample flavors before making your selection. It's hard to make a selection because everything is so delicious. The staff here in my experience have been very welcoming. I visit Kurimu every time I am in the area and they never disappoint.“

“When you come in you feel right at home, with orange hues, warming smells and decorative pieces from the culture it can make anyone excited to see what taste will enter their palette.
Every dish you can taste the love poured into it. They are accommodating to any dietary restrictions such as gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and so on.
Thank you for taking me on this beautiful culinary experience.

Much love.
All is Victory!“

“Best pho north of Chicago!! We will definitely come back even though it’s about a 30 min drive for us! Great service and great food!“

“Their horchata boba is very flavorful! They also provide board games to play while enjoying their tasty treats, adding to the cozy atmosphere :)“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“
