Linda A.

Bella Boba in Naperville is such a cool and trendy place to enjoy a drink with friends! The service was excellent, and the young woman working there was friendly, quick, and clearly knew how to make a great matcha. My matcha was absolutely a 10 out of 10-fresh, delicious, and perfectly made. I highly recommend stopping by Bella Boba, and I'll definitely be back!

Ube matcha  Mango lava
Marissa G.

I had the ube matcha which was very tasty- too tasty because it made me want to drink it too quickly. My partner had the mango lava which he did not like, stating it tasted like frozen mango smoothie and not fresh mangos. I tried it and it just tasted like a mango smoothie to me with lots of sugar. The place has a couch which is always a huge plus for us as we like to cozy up and read. Not sure if I would come back though honestly, I'd have to try some other drinks because otherwise there wasn't anything that stood out to me amidst the sea of boba tea shops that have sprouted

Strawberry Milk Tea
Melanie B.

I never thought I liked matcha drinks until my daughter had me take a sip of her strawberry matcha from Bella Boba. Now I want one every week. It's so good. Especially with strawberry popping boba. It's a really cute shop and popular on social media. it's obvious that they take pride in that fact. But they should. There are great backdrops to take pics of your drinks, and before you shake them up, the drinks are really pretty. And of course they taste really good. My single only complaint, in the handful of times I've been here, is that they gave me a regular straw with my drink that had boba in it. The straw was too small to suck the boba up, so it all collected at the bottom of my cup with the ice. Had I been in the shop, I'd have just asked for a different one, but I was driving when I realized it. So no popping boba for me. Sad face

Coconut cloud matcha, Strawberry matcha, Regular matcha
Chloe C.

Bella boba is a super cute shop with a nicely decorated interior. I came around noon on a weekend and there were two workers there. My impression is that this place is more focused on milk based drinks rather than tea drinks or fruit teas based on the way the menu was structured (not being able to choose tea type!). I came in a group of two others. It was not busy in the store and the workers started on our drinks immediately. We ordered the coconut cloud matcha, the strawberry matcha, and a regular matcha. I would say that the matcha here has great taste, but it would be perfect if there was just a little bit more in the drink! We all agreed that we liked our drinks, but the only thing was that it tasted a little watered down to our liking. I see that the store has seasonal drinks, and I'm definitely interested to try them! Overall, I would say the matcha is good -- probably the best in the area despite what i said above. I'll definitely be back to try other drinks.

Strawberry Matcha
Ryan T.

Bella Boba was a pretty average tea shop- cute corner for pictures, 10-15 chairs, and one worker at the front. What sets them apart is the flavor. Very well made blueberry lemonade as well as the strawberry matcha. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out once or twice for the vibe, and for a good drink while the weather heats up.

They have delicious Ube cookies and the employees are always very kind . They have games to play and a patio area . Most importantly DELICIOUS DRINKS

Roasted oolong
Eugene W.

Naperville has GOOD BOBA??? I grew up with just Joy Yees and later Ma Tea House. The Gongcha in Hmart sucks, and the Vivi by Park to Shop isn't great either. (Edit: oops, I guess the Vivi closed. The Sharetea isn't good either) This is the first good boba store I've had in town. Wowee! The roasted oolong had a really nice and strong tea flavor. The tea to milk balance was great. Boba was chewy and fresh. Half sweetness was perfect. The store is also clean and super cozy. I'll definitely be back!

This place has become our go to boba place in the suburbs. The ambience is really cute with comfortable seating. They also have game boards. We ordered mango milk tea boba with lychee jelly the first time we went. The staffs prepared it real quick and were courteous. The drink was perfect. The second time we ordered their taro milk tea with boba pearls which has become our most favourite drink. It's exceptionally good and a must try when you visit bella boba.

Passionfruit Green tea
Miller G.

If you like a good drink no matter what you are feeling ( coffee, tea, juice, boba ) and you are in Naperville then I HIGHLY recommend Bella Boba. Service is excellent and quick. My first time there, the young man taking my order was very helpful because I couldn't decide ! The drinks are always delicious and the vibe is great. Good decor with good space that you can chill, do work or hang out with friends.

Mango Passionfruit Green Tea
Jason L.

Bella Boba might just be my new favorite boba spot in the Naperville suburbs -- especially for their Mango Passion Fruit Tea, which blew me away. The use of fresh fruit purée (instead of the artificial syrups you'll find at some downtown spots) really makes a difference. It tastes vibrant, refreshing, and honestly feels better for you. The decor is what you'd expect from a modern boba shop -- clean, casual, and Instagram-friendly -- but what stood out was the outdoor seating and plenty of parking (a win for the burbs!). Only thing to note: their loyalty point system requires a higher spend before you earn a free drink, so keep that in mind. But honestly, with teas this good and tapioca pearls that are consistently soft, chewy, and flavorful, I'll keep coming back regardless. Great, friendly service. Highly recommend!

Strawberry Matcha
Fabiola R.

Stopped by for sweet pick me up and was welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed a delicious matcha drink. The location shares a large parking lot with other businesses and the business itself is simple, clean, and nicely decorated. Since this was my first time, I asked a staff member for a recommendation and went with the strawberry matcha which was delicious! They have a variety of milk teas and refreshers.

Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Herbal Jelly
Tim F.

As bubble tea places go, Bella Boba is a solid option around the Naperville area. The first time I was there, I had come from watching a friend's pickleball tournament and had a friendly conversation with one of the baristas about their drinks and a bit about the place (not sure if it was the owner or not). In my most recent visit, I was very happy to rediscover that they are one of the few places that offer herbal/grass jelly as a topping! They also were offering an interesting summer drink called pomegranate lemonade (which I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of). I opted to try that and also ordered a roasted oolong milk tea with grass jelly for my wife. I appreciate that they also allowed the customizable sugar level options (which most bubble tea places have these days, but there are some that don't!). I ultimately much preferred the milk tea over the refresher, but I'm generally not a big fan of refresher type drinks anyways. Surprisingly the 50% sugar on the refresher actually made it much less sweet than I thought, maybe almost not sweet enough (YMMV). Based on my first experience with Bella Boba, they're willing to help you adjust your drink to match your preferences. I just opted not to do that since I was on a time crunch that day. The roasted oolong milk tea was great though and exactly what my wife wanted. Interior decor is nice and there's a small wall section meant for snapping an instagram photo with a boba sign and some aesthetically pleasing decorations. It's also great that they have an instagram presence @bellabobanaperville where you can find out about any promotions or new drinks they have.

March drink - Thai green tea with Irish cream cold foam and boba
Athena R.

I've been to Bella Boba a few times and always get their roasted oolong milk tea. Their roasted oolong milk tea has a strong flavor of oolong tea and the boba has a nice chewy texture. I recently went there to try their March drink, a Thai green tea with Irish cream cold foam. The Thai green tea had a subtle flavor of pandan which is good because pandan has a strong floral taste if used to much. The ambiance is chill and cozy. The bubble tea shop also provides some board games, which makes it a nice place to hangout with friends. The staff is friendly and helpful.

OMG OMG... Get the Ube filled brioche donut!…read more I've been to several Tous Les Jours and this location is hands down my favorite. It's fairly large with several indoor spots to sit and stay awhile. The staff members were so nice!! I recommend coming earlier in the day to try and take advantage of everything being stocked. I came in on a Friday around 430pm and although the options were slim, I was able to get a few delicious items. Back to the Ube donut. UGH!! FULLY filled that I spilled so much of it on myself when I took the first bite. Worth it haha. The Ube actually tastes like Ube. AH! I cannot rave enough about how good this was. It was creamy, sweet but not overly sweet and so frickin delicious. The dough of the donut itself was perrrrrrf too. I actually came back the following day and got another 2 Ube donuts haha. I also got a red bean donut, a slice of the strawberry cloud cake a slice of the chocolate cloud cake and the soufflé cheesecake. I normally like red bean but I think bc the Ube donut was so good, it was impossible to compete with. The strawberry (and chocolate) cloud cakes were fluffy and not overly sweet. I had them the day after I bought it and both were still moist.

My husband and I stopped in Sunday afternoon and bought a bunch of pastries and two large drinks;…read moreone was an iced ube latte and the other was an iced honey ginger. The Ube latte was almost 7 dollars and it was literally all milk with zero Ube flavor at all, it was the most disappointing Ube latte we've ever had. The iced ginger looked like the Korean ginger tea jars they sell at H-Mart, nothing fancy. The name of the bakery sounds fancy because it's in French and there are locations all over Illinois. They sell French and Korean infused pastries and cakes that are a bit pricier than most. I think they should at least have nice boxes to put the pastries in rather than wrapping it up in plastic and stuffing it in a plastic bag. There weren't many options and service was eh. The lady who rang us up wasn't very friendly and ignored my husband a few times.

If I could sum up my experience at Abor Vitae in one word, I'd choose "Amazing."…read more As noted so well in other reviews, this little shop is tucked away in the NIU building on Diehl Road. And while it may be a little difficult to find it, it proves the maxim that good things are worth looking for (if that's not a maxim, it is now). The owner roasts his own coffee beans, roasts chicken in house, uses orgcanic greens, makes his own salad dressing, and makes soups from scratch daily. Plus, he serves breakfast, with all the accoutrements one would want. I enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee, some scrambled eggs with sausage, and an English muffin. It was all tasty. The star of the show, however, was the sample of lentil soup he gave me. As I was paying for my bill, I said to Ashraf, the owner: "I'll be back next week to buy some beans from you. And if I like your soup, I'll buy that too. Trust me." "I do trust you," Ashraf said. "And I trust my soup. You'll be back" He was right. I tried the soup that afternoon. It's delightful, flavorful, and made with love. I went back two days later, and bought my coffee beans, and a quart of lentil soup. This is my new favorite place.

All recent reviews are accurate. Great food, friendly service and very reasonably priced lunches…read more Why go outside if you're in the NIU building especially in cold weather! A nice touch, the owner offers free soup samples and everything is homemade.

Service was fairly quick, and there's decent seating inside, perfect for catching up with friends or relaxing solo with a drink.

It tastes just like authentic filter coffee from India, rich and perfectly balanced.

Definitely recommend this spot if you love authentic chai or South Indian-style coffee -- a true hidden gem worth visiting!
