50 Best Bubble Tea near Niles

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.“

“I went to this new boba place that finally opened with my mom. There was one person working there. The drinks were awesome and the lady was nice! The only problem is that there is no pricing on the menu, and we ordered 3 drinks that ended up almost $30. Really expensive. This place isn’t an every day stop and go, but a nice treat once in a while. Would recommend!“

“Ivan, the love of my life, the light in my darkest days. “Do you know CPR? Cause you took my breath away”….. is what this amazing employee told me when I came in one afternoon to order. Ever since I’ve never eaten any other meal without thinking about that one meal from Mochinut. 11/10 best place ever would recommend to everyone“

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

“The owners are so wonderful and the environment is GREAT. Service was amazing and overall just a good place to go for a sweet treat with your family or just yourself lol“

“Before entering Chicago, I was thirsty and happened to buy a drink here by chance-it turned out to be a fantastic choice! I was blown away by how delicious it was. I ordered the passion fruit tea, which had jelly bits that added a fun, popping texture. It was so tasty! I highly recommend trying this spot when visiting Chicago. You won’t regret it!“

“Came in with a friend who had never had boba before. The owner(?) recommended her a flavor and offered to make her a different kind if she didn't like it. She had brown sugar, I had taro, and my wife had a caramel latte boba. All were delicious! We also got the mini pancake bites which were fantastic. The owner(?) was super nice and gave us free water as well. If it wasn't a 40 minute drive for us we would be here all the time!“

“So many flavors to try. Tried the Taro milk tea and Lychee Like You with boba today. So good. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken has a great flavor - definitely try it!“

“This was such a nice surprise! Excellent tea, and absolutely delicious croffles. Nothing too sweet, and all of it high-quality and speedy. Clean, friendly, cute, and it has a make-your-own ramen pack area with a staggering variety and fresh toppings!“

“Having recently moved near the area, I finally decided to check this place out. I absolutely love trying new boba shops, and I am thrilled that this one is so close by. Great atmosphere with cute decorations and plenty of seating. There was only one worker behind the counter at the time who greeted me as soon as I walked in. She was so sweet and made my drink very quickly.

As for the boba itself… it’s great! I got a brown sugar boba milk tea which I was glad to know was non-dairy (despite my love for all things dairy, I am lactose-intolerant. Booooo). The milk tea itself was great. For a brown sugar drink, it wasn’t too sweet at all, which I liked as I usually get my drinks with less sweetness. However, the tapioca was a little hard, a result of it either sitting out for too long or being chilled. I’m sure it would’ve been a thousand percent better with the tapioca’s real chewy texture, but I suppose I can’t complain since I walked in on a slow Wednesday afternoon.

Great shop overall, and I surely will be a regular!

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“I've been twice, and both times were lovely. it's both a fun and relaxing atmosphere and is a great place to just sit down and relax.“

“I had an absolutely amazing experience at Straw & Bubbles Boba Bar in Glenview! From the moment I walked in, Jenny greeted me with such warmth and kindness, instantly making me feel welcome. Her friendly and attentive service truly made my visit special. The atmosphere was inviting, and the croffles was beyond delicious—perfectly crafted with great flavors and the perfect texture. I left feeling so happy and satisfied! This will definitely be my go-to spot for boba and croffles, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic drink , croffles, and even better service!“

“Ume Tea is hands down my favorite boba spot in Evanston! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I’ve tried a bunch of places, but their brown sugar boba is consistently top tier—perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the space is clean, modern, and super aesthetic. Highly recommend if you’re a bubble tea lover or just looking to try something new!“

“Absolutely love their tea. It is a much needed treat during study sessions. �“

“Legit bubble tea! Hot fresh takoyaki! What a pleasure.“

“My favorite boba spot! I love this chain. I tend to get the peach slush with cheese foam, and recently tried the yogurt with crystal and it was yummy - trying to branch out and try their other drinks and so far nothing has disappointed me! The mozzarella sticks though.....I have been looking for amazing mozzarella sticks for years and I think I finally found the perfect mozzarella stick. Of course to each their own, but do not miss out on trying them!“

“i love this small business 😚 they’re always super friendly and kind. my fav is the brown sugar milk tea and their thai tea is also yummyyyy ◡̈ come support their cute small business!!!“

“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!“

“The Taiwanese popcorn chicken is amazingly good and a fulfilling snack! The popcorn chicken is definitely shareable for 2 people. The mango lemonade drink was certainly refreshing for a hot summer Chicago day. The black tea boba milk tea was nicely balance in terms of taste and sugar. The milk tea wasn't too sweet at all, which I like. The amount of tapioca pearls you get is adequate for the size.

TBaar is one of THE only few places that actually have good boba tea.“

“Best boba I’ve ever had, amazing!!!“

“Delicious Taiwanese Street food & Boba tea! The coffee Boba milk tea is my go to drink!
Tried the pork dumplings, got them spicy, they were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The Korean spicy sauce ?? Very much enjoyed the grilled Taiwanese sausages! ?“

“My daughter is not a burger person , Boba Burger is one of her favorite places to eat!!! #Makayla from Chicago PD“

“I love the drinks and food“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“The popcorn chicken and egg waffle were very good. Excellent place to hang out and enjoy some bubble tea and great snack foods😋!“

“Soooo Good..!!!! 💯💯💯👻👻👻👻👻“

“This was the second time I came here. The first time they didn’t have all of the food items. Now, you can have dinner and dessert at the same place. They only have one kiosk to order from. Most of the time they were in the back. The people are actually very nice but their customer service skills could use some work. When I asked for extra spoons, I didn’t receive any sarcastic or snide remarks. I ordered just an iced milk tea (Thai) with brown sugar jelly. The results are very decent, not the best. Price was fair. I had a sample of my partner’s bingsoo. They come in two different sizes, the cup one is for one person. The other one can be shared between 2-3 people. Fresh ingredients and good ice cream. They have tables and booths for groups and couples. Ample seating. They also have some props for taking pictures with.“

“This boba place is the BEST I’ve had since moving. The sign makes it totally unassuming though. The interior is quite nice compared to the sign, but I’m so glad I stopped by. Their mango tea was so refreshing and I love the little fruit bits that made it taste like fresh orange. And their brown sugar boba is sooooo good please try“

“Delicious poke bowl! Fast delivery!“

“Fantastic! Went here for the first time and was not disappointed.

The ordering process is different, you fill out a form when you walk in and give it to the counter person.

Don't worry, they have patience with newbies.

Food was fresh and tasty, quantity was not lacking either.“

“Amazing place to chill and hangout with friends and to do some of your homework“

“I go there a lot with my brothers & sisters! I went with my new puppy recently & they let us in and loved my baby as much as we loved the atmosphere & customer service. A young asian worker with red highlights at the time served us and deserves a raise + the owner is so sweet too~ thank you so much & go to KFT 11/10“

“We love supporting local business in the city of Des Plaines! This was a gem that we found today and the coffee was delicious. The employees of River Woods Funeral Chapels had the LaVie En Rose and the Mocha. We loved getting to know the staff and making friends in the lobby. Parking was also very convenient. This will be our usual place to get coffee!!!!!! Des Plaines Local Guide“

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

“Legit bubble tea! Hot fresh takoyaki! What a pleasure.“

“The seasonal specials are not only creative but delicious! Tried the Carmel apple cider sundae. In a word fantastic! Worth the trip from Schaumburg! Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend. See you soon!“

“Ordered Möge for the first time around 9 pm on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised how good everything was prepared and packed
First and foremost the packaging has to be the best quality amongst bubble tea stores in Chicago - so thoughtful!
We got brown sugar boba w cheese foam and we absolutely looooved the taste
Now I’m excited to try many more items on the menu“

“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!“

“This is the place you want to go for when you want to authentic Vietnamese food. We got the Grilled Lemon Grass Beef Banh Mi and man that sandwich didn't have the right to be THAT GOOD. Everything was delicious, from the the warm and crispy Baguette, to the perfect beef, the correct toppings and man the ratios were so so good!
We ended with a couple of coffees and the experience was completed perfectly.
Now the service was just the cherry on top! Everyone was nice and helpful and just wanted us to enjoy our quick bite. Anytime i'm anywhere near Chicago, i will be stopping by here for sure.“

“been here a few times, each is better experience that the last, attempt to try most of their items on menu. So far, my favorite is their Mango smoothies with cloud cheese, as drink. Their cloud cheese is really good and a balance of salty taste with the sweetness of the mango, the tapioca in the drinks is plentiful but not overpowering the water content. I had it in other Chinatown restaurants, some had too many tapiocas that my teeth were tired chewing them. Cuckoo is not. Their Don (Japanese rice bowls) and their bibimbap (Korean rice bowls) are excellent. Have not decide which is better because each have their own uniqueness and tastes; I had 2 types of their bibimbap before and only 1 type of their Don. So far, I am leaning towards the Don but there is excellent amount of veggie in their Bibimbap, which is ideal for weigh concise person. Wish they have a loyal customer rewards style of drinks incentives, much like some restaurants, for example, buy 9 and get 1 free drink, or some % off after 5 drink purchases, and give customers an advertisable nice pocket size reward card to keep track of their purchases. That may also work with food item purchases as well. Crossing my fingers that this may happen soon. With summer in Chicago, cool refreshing drinks is ideal and as loyal customers, return for more drink purchases with rewards will be even better.“

“This place is always a winner with their delicious drinks! So unique and so satisfying! Love all the textures and combinations! I would try everything if I could!“

“I usually dont review, because I dont like to stop and do it.. but in this case, it was so good, that I had to... I was amazed at how much delicious flavor they packed into my burrito and philly steak.. definitely a top burrito joint in country, for me.. likr top 1 or 2.. im a truck driver, and have eaten at Mexican reataurants all over the country.. and this place will be on my to-do list, now, when Im in Chicago area. Absolutely delicious.. even had to lick my fingers!“

“Such a delicious treat in any kind of weather.“

“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!“

“I came here with my mom today for lunch, and we were both pleasantly
surprised. We liked the cute atmosphere ,the cleanliness, and most importantly, the food!!! We got the lunch specials! It includes an appetizer/soup/main meal. It was a great price for great food!!! We will definitely be back here again soon.“

“I have ordered dozens of sushi burritos from this location for years and they are always delicious with large portions sizes that make the cost worth it. Sadly, this doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. This burrito is really small compared to every other I’ve gotten and you can tell by how much paper was left over and wrapped at the ends. It seems the seaweed wrap that is being used is smaller and that’s disappointing.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outdoor Café absolutely blew me away!

I ordered a custom boba tea with Coconut Matcha and Strawberry, and it was an instant favorite. The flavors were perfectly balanced, creamy, and refreshing, with just the right sweetness. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy. The staff was friendly, fast, and genuinely passionate about their drinks. This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves creative, high-quality boba. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“
