While shopping around the Vernon hills area, we stumbled upon Bearology and noticed it was a new business that opened near us! It was located in a strip right by the Walmart. Once you walk int, immediately to the right you'll wait in line where you'll walk up to the register and place your own order, then you'll take a seat and wait for your name to be called. We decided to try the butterfly lemonade and the 24k golden drinks. They had tons to choose from that this decision took quite some time to decide. (All great options which was why it was SO hard!) The butterfly lemonade was yummy! I highly recommend stirring it because drinking because otherwise you'll only taste the lemonade (which is pretty sour alone, haha!) You also have the opportunity to add a jelly, we opted for the aloe jelly and it was nice and refreshing. The 24k beverage was more of a tamarind flavor. At first we were questioning whether or not to drink it because it was so shimmery and pretty. We decided to drink it because we could always go back! And it was delicious!! The beverages are served in glass mason jars and flasks! They are meant to be reusable, so you can bring them back and receive a discount to try other drinks. We also opted to get the large reusable boba straw too so we can help reduce waste! The cafe was pretty busy, and restrooms are not open to the public yet. All in all, it was super fun and we will definitely be back with our mason jars to try out all of the other drinks!
Been meaning check this place out for a while! Super cute drink shop with ample seating. Quiet ambience so great place for chatting up with friends. I liked they have self checkout portals, and that they don't use as much plastic! The glass containers can get you 10% off of the next order-- definitely will get me to come back, what a great incentive. They have many interesting options, but the one that really caught my eyes was the sesame smoothie. It can go right or very wrong, but I wanted to take a risk in trying. Black sesame smoothie with aloe vera and chia seeds-- this was a success! I love how it looks, first of all, the aesthetic is very enticing to me. To my surprise, it's not super sweet, which is amazing. The sesame flavor comes through, and so does a bit banana, interestingly. I personally really liked the texture of the chia seeds, so added that. The aloe also was really good, it's not the pulps you see in Korean aloe drinks, it feels like actual aloe chunks, and not the chewy jello type. Definitely not cheap, as the base was $7+ and with 2 toppings plus tips comes to $10. But I'd gladly back for a the same order. Though I'm excited to try other ones they come up with!
Cute place that just opened up recently across from Hawthorn Mall, right next to the Wal-Mart. The place is pretty big and spacious, with minimal decor except for the large pink flower wall, and bear. You walk straight up to the counter and they have 3 kiosk set up for you to place your order. You first select your drink, and then pick a free topping, and you can substitute your milk option (also for free) and adjust your level of sweetness. The kiosk was very user friendly and easy to use. Then you pay- not sure if they accept cash, but they do accept card and electronic payment (ex Apple Pay). Then you wait for your drink. I ordered a brown sugar frosted milk with boba bubble tea. The milk was like slushy, and the boba and brown sugar were at the bottom of my cup. I also ordered a strawberry banana smoothie. I love how the drinks were served in actual glass jars with a twist on metal lid. You can definitely reuse these at home, recycle them, or bring them back to the store and receive 10% off your next order. How environmentally friendly! You also have the option of buying a stainless steel boba straw for $$. The drinks I ordered were $7.50 each, a little pricey but you have to make up the cost for the glass jars somehow.
This place seems like it's mostly for the 'gram. They have a really nicely decorated interior and a cool bear logo. They sell their drinks in hip-looking mason jars. They also have a One Piece promo where you can buy sets of glass One Piece jars. Their boba didn't really impress me, though. We got the classic pearl milk tea. The boba was hard. The drink was a tad too sweet even with 50% sugar. The tea flavor was nice and strong, though. Pretty overpriced at $7-7.50 a drink, especially for a place this far out in the suburbs.
I personally ordered the strawberry and banana smoothie with boba. My sister and mother also ordered drinks. All three drinks took less than 5 minutes to be done. My drink itself tasted spectacular. Although, the boba had a little fragrance taste to it. It wasn't a deal breaker, but it was a little odd to me. My mother also ordered a Belgian waffle. It took a bit more time than expected, but not too long. There is only one worker here currently, and they give out great service and it is obvious that they are trying their best to make our experience a great one. The service is quick and the decorations are very enjoyable. There are claw machines that we tried out, and also a cotton candy maker that is currently out of order. There are many decorative flowers and other types of decor. The mood is very chill and this is a great place to hangout!
Obsessed with this boba place! I've had the banana milk tea and the strawberry milk tea here so far and both were fabulous. I love that they give you your drink in a glass jar, which is easily reusable. If you bring back your jar, you get 10% off; if you bring back 10 glass jars, you get a free drink. Fabulous!
Super cute place with lots of seating options. I ordered a coffee milk tea at the counter and got my drink pretty fast. I like the fact the milk tea come in a reusable jar. The milk tea has a good amount of sweetness and coffee flavor. I definitely would come back to try the other flavors.
Hands down the best milk tea in the area. I like the flavor of their milk tea because it's the perfect mix of tea and dairy. The flavor is always consistent every time I visit this location. Lastly, if you prefer a place with a nice aesthetic, I have not come across a better option in the area.
Seriously the best Boba place I've ever been to. So many cute variations and the best part is the glass jar the drink comes in!!! My kids loved the cotton candy vending machine! We got a flower bouquet. So unique I'm planing on coming back today to show the rest of my kids! Huge hit!!!
So happy that there is a new bubble tea shop in town! Easy ordering system. We ordered strawberry banana, black sugar, and jasmine milk tea with tapioca. I like that you can customize the ice, sweetness, etc. we love the glass jars it comes in! Also, it is a large space so perfect for groups! Cannot wait to try the other items!
I had the 24k gold drink which is a tamarind flavored juice. The atmosphere is wonderful and it is a wonderful gem tucked next to Walmart. The service is fast and friendly with all the options customizable at the touchscreen. The glass containers are reusable and you can get a discount when you bring them back to use on other orders.
I finally got to try this place at this new adorable location. There are very few boba places in the area and I'm so glad this place popped up! Not only is it very aesthetically pleasing inside with an adorable picture wall, the quality of the tea & boba are just as good! The customer service was also a 10/10 experience. I will definitely be back to try their milk teas next!
We tried the pink lemonade with mango bobas & the mango smoothie with jelly. Service was a little slow, it seemed like there was only 2 people there and only one was making the drinks. It was a cute setup inside with a cotton candy vending machine.

This place looked super aesthetic from the photos, but the drinks were quite mediocre. My family and I came here and paid $7.50 for a milk tea with pearls. The milk tea tasted alright although it was not as strong as i would have liked. The pearls were....bad. Some of them were hard and not chewy as expected. I'm not sure if the pearls have been sitting out for a while or if it was undercooked to begin with, but that is an area of improvement I'd like to see. I do like the pretty glass jar the boba comes in though, and our server was very friendly and welcoming. Props for being eco friendly. read more
A friend brought me a Mango Dragon slush with boba. It was cool and refreshing, not overly sweet, although def more Dragon than mango. The boba was chewy and great! The returnable jar means I'll have to go back again (or send my friend). Ah, planning what to order next. read more
Always looking for new or different boba places to try! The place is so cute! Clean and bright! Service was great and the staff were friendly! They have waffles as an only option for food. Next time I come I will get that! Definitely will come back. The drinks we got were all yummy & refreshing! read more

First time visiting this location and I loved it! The quality, taste, and service reflects the service I have received at the Schaumburg which is an amazing trait to have now that they are opening more locations. What I really appreciated from this specific location was the environment and the open concept of the space (plus there's lots of parking). It's a well lit space, clean, and low traffic which made the space welcoming to sit and catch up with a friend or get work done. Overall I recommend this location if you'd like to sit down and enjoy your Bearology drink instead of on-the-go. Can't wait to visit again! read more

I came back wanting to give this place another shot, and I love it. We did get our drinks fast, and they were delicious. The staff as well was very friendly. I also loved the Cotten candy machine and overall the aesthetic of the place. read more

Omg this place is beyond adorable!!! Plus, reusable containers that give you a 10% discount when brought back? Yes, please! I got a caramel iced latte with boba, and Anthony got coffee milk tea with boba, and we got the brown sugar boba waffle to share. We also got the pink lemonade shimmer flask because why not. It was too pretty to pass up. They have a flower wall with their logo for Instagram pics and a cotton candy machine that makes the prettiest cotton candy designs. The drinks were on point, and the waffle was warm and tasty. Would definitely come back! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu! read more
If the branding doesn't convince you to come here then the milk tea should! Everything looks better in a glass jar and the procedure of ordering and receiving is fun! The flavors and tapioca were spot on. At the time we went there were special shimmer drinks that I'll definitely have to try next time we're in! Will definitely be back! read more

Omg it is the cutest joint ever. It's right next to Walmart that's probably why it's overlooked but people who know , know that they have the Best slushy drinks and smoothies ever and my goodness their signature shimmer drink. I went by myself to check it out before I take my kids and I am so happy to have found this gem. This is going to be our summer hangout corner. read more

This Bearology is my favorite Bearology location to visit! The taste and texture of the drinks are always consistent and the boba is always fresh! Compared to other locations, the VH location typically has less traffic and plenty of space to sit and enjoy your drink. Service is always great and staff is always ready to offer suggestions or answer any questions you may have. Aside from a variety of flavors and boba, they also offer other treats such as waffles and lemonades. If you're a frequent customer, you can bring your glass back for 10% off your next drink. read more
