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!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“The atmosphere was amazing, it was very cutesy and showed a lot of cultural things. The drink overall was good but there can be a few adjustments. 1. There should be a custom amount of ice, sweetness, or any additional notes for the drink. 2. The boba is good but is too hard and should have a more soft texture. 3. A kiosk would be really helpful with wait times, personal experience, and it could be someones preferred way to pay.“

“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!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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!

Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy drinks available“

“Really great triple berry yogurt smoothie. The tapioca boba has cores that are firm so if you like having squishy on the outside and hard on the inside bobas this is the place to get yours. This drink was nutritious and healthy. I could tell this was made with fresh ingredients. Waffles are cute and warm, go really well with the drinks. The staff is kind and friendly. Atmosphere is a nice spot for hang out with friends and for a short date, I mean short because it’s not the most spacious place so you can hang out and then go out haha“

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

“Easily my new favorite bubble tea place. The milk taro is delicious, probably my favorite from any bubble tea place. All the drinks look very unique and creative. The employee working provided very sweet, friendly service and even made us two croffles on the house! I had never had one of these before, but after biting into it, I was amazed! It had me smiling and wanting to go back inside for 3 more! Probably like my favorite waffle I’ve ever eaten from anywhere.
I can’t wait to go back soon to order a few more croffles next time. Thank you!!“

“My daughter and I decided to check out Eli Tea Bar last night and we loved the atmosphere so much! it is so cozy. We were there to watch all the talented beautiful performers at open mic night. The tea was fresh and so good I really appreciate that it's alcohol free and welcoming to people of all ages. We will definitely be back!“

“I LOVE their Fruit Tea! :D“

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

“Quick and friendly service. Smoothies and milk teas were all amazing everyone in my group enjoyed everything! Also I’ve never actually been to a place where I’ve enjoyed macaroons but these were great and left me wanting more. Great tapioca, the texture and flavor were by far the best I’ve had in awhile will be back soon. Highly recommend this place! Especially refreshing on a hot day!

Parking: It’s a huge parking lot so there will always be a parking space.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely a lot of fun choices for kids and the medium size is a perfect amount for them

Wheelchair accessibility: There’s no steps so it’s very accessible“

“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.“

“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'm glad I found this little gem. The own is super welcoming and kind. The coffee was the best I've had I'm a long time and the food was amazing! And the prices were on point. It's a tight space and that's my only complaint, but I'm not even complaining. Go here, you'll be happy you did.

Vegetarian options: Small menu, in general, but a few vegan options.“

“My granddaughter loves their Boba tea, as do I. My daughters grew up coming here during their grammar & HS years & now my granddaughter 10 Loves it.“

“This is the best boba shop ever! I recommend coming here if you ever stop by at Uptown Chicago! The place is so cute and adorable. The walls are nicely painted with characters and unicorns, very kids friendly too. I got the ancient brown sugar milk tea with tapioca, and WOW the tea is just perfect. I wouldn’t know what to do if this boba shop didn’t exist here. Best one in uptown, the other boba shop around here can’t compete with this! ❤️“

“The young lady at the register tonight was super helpful, pleasant, and patient. There was a chill, yet bubbling vibe. Took it to go, but in-store vibe was legit.“

“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! ?“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“As soon as we walked in for a late greasy spoon dinner, the folks were so welcoming! Also the best Seoul Hot Dog and Polish. Vienna Beef products makes this place even better for me. Try the chili fries, too. Unique menu especially for a place in a bowling alley! Definitely coming back—especially after bowling.“

“Best boba I’ve ever had, amazing!!!“

“I love the drinks and food“

“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.“

“Love their different selections of bubble tea, smoothie, and milk tea. A good place to hang out with friends and family.“

“Really good food. Great for when you know you need to up your healthy food consumption but also want some delicious food & sauces. Not expensive. I love the seating. Employees are always nice. Excellent value. Also, I am allergic to sesame and miss traditional sushi and this is an amazing substitute.“

“This is the cutest spot!! I’m obsessed with all of the pink interior! There was just one person that seemed to be working, but he was still quick, and he was very kind and helpful. I got the passion fruit green tea with boba and lychee jelly, and it was delicious! I got it with 70% sugar which was perfect. I also felt that the prices were very fair! I will definitely be back!!!“

“I would give this place 5 stars unless wasn’t for the chaotic pickup. The teas are super awesome tasting; I like how they are a bit less sweet than other places so you can taste the flavors and not go into a diabetic coma. The place is clean and I like how it smells. I feel like they just need to organize the picking up better. Sometimes the wait is long and customers get testy. I would say maybe write names on the order or call the names out because sometimes people try to grab the wrong drinks. But as far as the drinks go they are outstanding!“

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

“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“

“Best hot chocolate and coffee The best waffles tol“

“Delicious poke bowl! Fast delivery!“

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

“Asked the staff if their boba contain gelatin or not as I explained I’m Muslim and can not consume gelatin (as most gelatin made of pig) - they checked all their menu details and made sure it’s all vegan based except the one with honey coated) - I tried the passion fruit green tea with mango boba and my boys tried with cookies and cream and Oreo flavors, they were all good. Staff was helpful and inside was clean including bathrooms.“

“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!“

“LOVE THIS PLACE !! ALL TIME FAVORITE RESTERAUNT THE FOOD IS AMAZING ! THE STAFF AND PEOPLE WORKING ARE EXTREMELY NICE AND MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOMED AND TAKEN CARE OF !! LOVE THIS PLACE SOOO MUCH. A MUST GO PLACE, THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RESTERAUNTS BY FAR, ME AND MY BOYFRIEND LOVE THIS PLACE ? THE OWNER/MANAGER IS SO KIND AND ALWAYS TAKES CARE OF US, SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL❤️ WE LOVE THIS PLACE ! WOULDNT BE THE SAME WITHOUT THE STAFF ✅? FOOD IS WONDERFUL AND PRICING AMAZING EXTREMELY CHEAP FOR AMAZING QUALITY. EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS“

“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 is a gem of a boba spot! I stopped by during a campus event and was pleasantly surprised to find good & authentic boba in Evanston. You can really taste the tea they use which speaks to the quality of their ingredients, and the boba was pretty chewy. Overall, would definitely be back if I'm around town again.“

“If you want fruit based bubble tea, you go to Liquid fusion. There is no debate.
If you want tea based bubble tea, a lot of options are available. But I like happy lemon, because I think they have the best cheese foam. Creamy, salty, and sweet. No other spot makes better cheese foam.
Definitely adjust your ice and sweet lvl, 100% sugar is too sweet.
Jasmine green tea with cheese, or mango matcha is really good.“

“if you want the best treats in the area with free arcade games and board games, THIS IS THE SPOT!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Very nice Lunch! We had the Turkish breakfast for 2 persons! Very good food and more than enough. And the Turkish coffee I suggest ❤️

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to our kids

Wheelchair accessibility: All one floor!“

“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.“
