Bubble Tea near Gurnee

“Great staff, the bubble tea is a must have. Try it now if you haven’t done so 😊“

“We got a latte, chocolate shake (cost around $7.50) and taro milk tea ($6.50) with bubbles.Me and my kids enjoyed the drink. Taro was the favorite as usual. The shake is made from ice cream, milk and ice. So when you drink, be careful and sip little by little, otherwise you will get brain freeze)))). (This picture is from internet)“

“Highly recommend trying Merienda’s. I went there based on a recommendation from a friend. Loved the vibe, mom/pop, cute restaurant, with a lot of delicious options. Tried the spicy shrimp with garlic rice, pancit, ube latte with oat milk, pink calamansi lemonade, & mango cheesecake. Delicious! Will definitely go back to try other dishes. Very reasonably priced for the portion size. The guy at the register was friendly & enthusiastic with helping us select our entree.“

“Delicious boba tea! I had the Coconut milk tea with boba and my husband had the mango fruit with boba. This was our first time here! It was busy when we walked in with lines for those wanting to get there bubble / boba tea. There was a great menu of options to choose from and a nice sitting area to relax, and enjoy the drinks. Staff were quick and busy filling in the orders that were coming in. This is located in Chinatown near the Chinatown square. Great spot and delicious boba teas! We will definitely come back when we visit this area again!“

“My wife and cousin bought drinks from this place. The young gentleman that made our drinks was very friendly and polite. After receiving our order we had to leave in a hurry as we were heading to a meeting. My wife accidentally left her purse containing her cards, cash, IDs and most importantly her medications on one of the seats inside. Unfortunately she didn’t notice that her purse was missing until later that night and the store was closed by then. Needless to say she didn’t get a good nights sleep as she was worried that she wouldn’t see her purse again. The next day she came back not really expecting anything but got a pleasant surprise when the young guy(not the same as the one who served us) that opened the store handed her back her purse with everything still intact. With the terrible things we hear and see in the news and oftentimes we experience ourselves, it’s amazing to know that there are still decent and honest people out there and especially in this store. Kudos to these young lads and to the people who raised them.“

“ALL THE BAD REVIEWS ARE NOT TRUE! This is an amazing boba stand and the customer service is just amazing! I have never been disappointed by the employees nor the drinks. I and my family are always so pleased to come by and stop by for a tasty drink! These people must have had bad days and twisted the story a bit, but no one I’ve ever known has ever had a bad experience! Today was still awesome and I enjoyed the boba I got today :))“

“Went with 2 friends 2 of us had Lychee Flavor, 1 had Matcha with Black bubbles. Prices a bit steep, but it’s not an everyday place. It’s for special events! We’ll go back!“
