“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“

“Kandy Krush Melt was an absolute delight! The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in — warm, friendly, and super attentive. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and felt welcome. The food? Simply amazing. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful too. You can tell they put real love into everything they do. We left full and happy. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great vibes, great people, and even better food!“

“Their Jasmine Hot Tea with egg nog boba was delicious!!! Loved the cup with heart stopper ❤️. So cute. This hot drink has been the best hot drink I’ve tried this year! To top it off I noticed they had games you can play, so this is great for a group of friends or family! Also plenty of parking!“

“This is such a great addition to our village. Great place for family to gather and have a yogurt, Boba tea, smoothies or my absolute favorite, Vietnamese Hot Coffee. Don't forget to support local businesses.“

“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!“

“Got to meet Peter at a wedding last night! Such a great idea. They must have made about 500 boba drinks in 3 hours. They were in and out quick, no mess, smiling... I'll definitely be by the shop to check it out!“

“Am avut experiența de a încerca băuturile acestui brand de băuturi, am băut foarte multe alte băuturi de la alte firme și este o diferență extremă. Băuturile chiar sunt fără coloranți, zahărul este foarte,foarte puțin iar aceasta firmă merită din plin maximul stelelor posibile !! Felicitări conducătorului și să o țineți tot așa !!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“It’s very tasteful and packed with flavor. The bowl of noodles looks very colorful and the essence of aroma smells really good. The broth tastes rich simmered perfectly, with layers of yummy spices, and slow-cooked amazing melt-in-your-mouth tender beef. For sure, a must try. A top 30 chicago food item!!“

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

“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!“

“love hello jasmine! we’ve been coming here consistently since august and really appreciate the atmosphere since it’s so pretty and calm. also, the drinks are sooo good with so many flavors to choose from! this drink is the passion fruit and i love it sm!“

“I ordered a peach yogurt with crystal boba with strawberry bursting boba, and it was DIVINE!!! My friend ordered a strawberry yogurt crystal boba lychee jelly and mango bursting boba and they said it was like they tasted a slice of heaven. (The employee also played KPOP DEMON HUNTERS >:0 and it was such a vibe!!“

“I was excited to see that they had updated their menu with new food and drink options for fall.

I tried the roasted oolong milk tea which was interesting. I'm always on the lookout for something that emulates the complex flavor of coffee without the jolt of caffeine. I personally would recommend doing 50% sugar and 50-0% ice as the tea flavor isn't very strong. I'm hoping I can try one of their chai drinks next time.

I also brought home the new mango Belgian waffle and was a bit disappointed. I was hoping for something lightly sweet as a snack, but no this is *very sweet* and firmly in a dessert category. The waffle itself seems both undercooked and grainy with sugar in some spots, and hard and dry in one spot like they were microwaved. Personally I'd rather have just a plain waffle made fresh, or at least to skip the mango syrup. But maybe I don't have the same taste as most customers :)

Lastly I was disappointed to see AI photos for their menu options. I feel like it's false advertising, and personally I'd much rather have actual photos or no photos at all.

Still, I prefer this bubble tea shop over the others in the area since they seem to use real tea and ingredients instead of cheap flavored syrups. I hope they can continue to improve!“

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

“Great bubble tea spot! We always come here when we're in the Wicker Park area. The lady working is very nice and she can even make a custom bubble tea if there's something you want that's not on the menu (like a lychee peach smoothie, mm!) What a boss. There's seating and washrooms. They're also friendly, fast, and the bubble tea is delicious.“

“I absolutely love this Boba Heaven location. Everyone is extremely patient, very helpful when ordering and always providing a warm welcoming environment. Special perks go to Jim hes definitely an amazing guy. I overall love the vibes of this place, and I will highly recommend going to this location...Plus they have so many varieties, which is great in my book!!!!!!“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“I love the drinks and food“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Love the dim sum! Great service didn’t wait long at all! A place I will go back!“

“Rejoice! The place for some great Chinese teas had arrived near you! Yes, it does share the fad with the Taiwan born boba drinks. But our eye was caught by the nice website with images of nice teacups and ambiance. Only 23 miles away from home we discovered that the trip in a hot and still pandemic day was totally worth it. In few words owner, Shaolong picked the teaist vibes in us and offered us a great real experience of sharing a favorite tea - he introduced us to the wonders of Zhang Ping Shui Xian (漳平水仙). Unlike the real "black tea", the Pu-erh, this one also comes in bricks, yet is a type of oolong with an amazing floral scent. We were honored with 4 different samples which we are currently slowly and thoroughly testing (3 pics). And yes, the fermentation levels are different - some definitely will give you a great oolong taste, but others are just a unique elixir on its own. But back to the house itself. I see and hope for great unrolling potential. This could become a place for tea lovers and teaists in training. Why not theme days, classes, shared experiences, a club? We would join. The 23 miles are a drive, but there isn't much of a real tea-drinking place in our Chicagoland (unlike smaller cities in North America like Portland and Montreal). However, Living Water Tea House is a great promise and it totally won our full support! Keep the cups warm!“

“This place is pretty, warm, has inside seating, is inside the mall in 88 market. It’s decorated nicely. The teas are well priced in that they are not overpriced. They make the teas fresh. It’s a $0.65 cent up charge for bubbles. So it’s very reasonable. Enjoyed the tea here and will return. Clean, pretty, nice freshly brewed tea and charge of bubbles or crystals are slightly cheaper than other places … tasted good.. can ask for less sugar .., nice seating even if it’s small … inside 88 market so nice to shop after or before tea. Inside is a nice ambience. It was also warm w heat blasting bc it’s still cold outside in Chicago like 35 degrees F. So it was cozy. Recommend Pure Tea.“

“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.“

“Pros:
-extensive boba tea menu
-ramen and poke options
-friendly staff

Cons:
-Poke bowls are small and they skimp on pretty much every single ingredient
-ingredients are old, oftentimes still a little frozen when they are served
-boba itself is pretty mid
-non optional tipping system when paying- if you don’t want to leave an electronic tip, you have to manually put in 0

Honestly the only reason I come to this location is because it’s the only poke and boba place within easy walking distance.“

“My favorite is the brown sugar boba and the thai milk tea. :) It's pretty consistent, I always ask for extra ice just bc drinks are always better when they're iceyyyyy and cold.

A few staff members seem like teenagers so they didn't really care if there was a customer waiting for their drink for 10+ minutes while they sat down and chatted.“

“Very delicious and great customer service!“

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

“Chi Tea is my absolute favorite spot near Loyola! Their taro boba is perfectly creamy, not too sweet, and the tapioca pearls are always fresh. I usually grab the Big Bird sandwich too—it’s huge, juicy, and filling enough to last me through classes. The staff is friendly and it’s such a nice break from the usual campus food.“

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

“I've never left a review on Maps before, but the service was so pleasant here that I felt compelled to!! The cashier was so friendly and greeted everyone who walked in + she was so considerate in preparing my order :) She also cleaned the tables so quickly after patrons walked in and out. So hardworking and sweet!! And my food was amazing 🩷🩷“

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

“It’s WILD how good this place is. I’ve been literally dozens of times, always amazing. Haven’t missed once on something off the menu, but faves for sure are Rose Matcha with snow cream, Mango Green Tea both original and Passion Fruit. Staff is always so helpful as I bumble my way through trying something new 😂.“

“Friendly staff unique menu. Very child friendly. Made good. Use of the space hot chocolate, fried chicken and donuts were out of this world delicious… overall a unique one-of-a-kind experience was had“

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

“Delicioso! Me encanta 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“This is my favorite place to order a birthday cake. You can customize outer cake layout with extra charge. I had their mango passion flavor mille layer cake for my dad's birthday. My dad loves it very much as the cake is not that sweet and beautifully layered at the inner of the cake. It tastes a mixture of mango passion flavor with a pitch of salty. The mille layer cake is a bit expensive but worth a try. Last two months, I ordered taro mochi chiffon cake for my mom's birthday. It is also not sweet and has a chewy mochi layer with taro paste and cream. I like the combination of the mochi with the chiffon cake together.“

“The mochi donuts were delicious—soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet. I also loved the variety of flavors and the unique presentation. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the visit even better. Definitely a must-try spot if you’re in Chicago, especially for anyone who loves creative desserts!“

“Super cute and yummy! Great spot for a family adventure or to chill with friends.“

“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!“

“Deliciousness, try Taiyaki. It is so good!“

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Amazing drinks !! Definitely will be returning!!

Only concern is that there was only 1 girl running the whole place ( Was doing an amazing job by the way ) and it was not fair but also inconvenient because I had somewhere to be I just made a quick stop that turned out to take longer than expected.! Please be more mindful not only to employees but customers.“
