The iced raspberry white mocha had such a good strong espresso flavor to it which I really enjoyed. The one thing was that this drink was particularly too sweet for me and I'd probably ask for it less sweet next time if possible. I've been looking for spots to study which this place offered free wifi and two big tables with outlets which is a plus! However, the cafe ambiance had more of a hangout feel to it and less for a place to study or work in which is okay, but definitely to note for some. The music was a bit on the louder side.

Absolutely awesome coffee drinks. Locally owned. Great service and excellent beverages. I didn't even know they were here. I'm not a fan of Starbucks or Dunkin. I prefer the smaller roasters and these guys serve Mutiny coffee. They are moving up by the train station in Des Plaines on April 25th. Definitely gonna be pat of my routine.

It's alright people say this place is like it's good or something ngl the place look aesthetic but the drinks, need to improve the Thai tea was not sweet or creamy but watery and bland. The outside of the shop looked dirty need more, cleaning and no trash?. I'm just surprised how it looked on the outside and the drinks.

Brew Lounge located In Des Plaines, IL is a cafe/lounge. I went on a Saturday night, and it was super busy. Most tables were filled with people drinking various drinks. Some people were playing table tennis and others were playing on the Nintendo Switch. I ordered Calamansi Juice with lychee jelly. This was a great drink. There was a combination of sweet and sour but it was well balanced. I personally don't like drinks super sweet, but ordering 100% sugar wasn't too sweet for me. I haven't had the best experience with boba-like drinks in the suburbs, but this place surprised me with a good experience. The staff were super friendly, and I would go again in the future.

Lots of options to pick from. Everything from espresso drinks to milk tea, to boba, and fruity drinks with calamansi (a Filipino citrus fruit). Truly a little something for everyone... I ordered my go to- brown sugar milk tea with boba and a frozen taro. Both were equally delicious. The brown sugar milk tea had just enough brown sugar to milk ratio. I'm not a fan of too much boba, so I went easy on it and it was plenty enough for me. It had the right chewy consistency, which I also appreciate. Hard boba can ruin your drink- and luckily this place did not disappoint. The place is lounge like, with plenty of seating options, including some couches. They also have ping pong tables set up. Service was friendly. And the overall vibe was very chill....

Came here on a Tuesday night and it was packed!! We barely got a seat! I love the artwork around the place as well! There is also a ping pong table and a game station with consoles hooked up! Ube boba w lychee jelly: was interested in how Ube would be different from taro which would usually be my go to! As expected they are very similar, maybe the texture was not what I was used to? I got a regular and it was enough to satisfy my craving. The amount of lychee jelly was very generous as well! 7.9/10
One of my favorite places to get an ube milk tea! Recently renovated and has a cool interior

We drove pretty far to try Brew Lounge and we were a little disappointed overall. What we ordered: *Ube milk tea 5/10 flavor was good but not amazing. *Green milk tea 3/10. flavor was off and a little bitter *Brown sugar milk tea 3/10 Texture of the boba was ok but was too sweet even after trying mix it. There's so much on the menu that I'm sure we could try again and see what else they have.

I have been to Brew Lounge a few times. I really like the concept of this place. I ordered a brown sugar latte which tastes very good but it wasn't hot enough for my preference, so if you want hot coffee make sure you say "extra hot please". I have also tried their frozen boba drinks; the coconut, pineapple coconut, and ubechata. All three are good but my favorite is ubechata. However, if you are planning to stop by in a hurry and are hoping to get your drink quickly, you probably aren't. They take a long time to get you your order since there are only two people behind the counter taking orders and making them. Also they open pretty late on Saturday mornings so I have to go somewhere else for morning coffee.

Play coffee house and drink Place filled with young folks addicted to videogames and I think there is a pool table one or two over there. The place seems unique and is connected to a pizzeria and I guess if you're extremely young this place on the weekend will be appreciable. There is however not much CD and so the place seems crowded even when it's not really crowded
