I come here quite often when I'm in the west suburbs. I think it's the best boba place in the area. I've tried quite a few already. I love their matcha slushie. I add red bean to the bottom. It is very similar if not better than the one at Kung Fu Tea. My husband has ordered a variety of bubble teas and has enjoyed all of them. There's a kiosk to order at, and the service is really quick. The decor is cute, so that helps! read more

We got milk tea with red bean, and wow(!!!) I was blown away. Didn't realize this combination would taste so good. Never got this combination before, so it was a surprising hit. 100% sugar worked for me here. Sweet but not too sweet. Our kids, on the other hand, got the peach yakult with mango boba and we will not be getting this again. Yakult on its own is super sweet already. It was so sweet that my three kids said they enjoyed it but only managed to finish half the cup before saying they were done. They were all sharing one cup, too. Despite the one miss in that drink, I really enjoyed the milk tea here, so we may be back if we're ever in the area! Staff was nice here. We ended up hanging out outside when their store closed. They had a bench outside we could sit at. read more

The classic milk tea with red bean topping was really good - we got it with 100% sugar, but it wasn't too sweet and had a nice flavor. My kids got the peach yakult with mango boba - I probably wouldn't get this again since it was a bit too sweet and artificial-tasting, but I think it would probably be the case anywhere, I just hadn't had it before. The size is decent for the price - I would recommend getting large since it's 50% bigger for only $1 more at the moment. I'd stick with the classic milk tea here going forth. read more

Cute store in a strip mall with a few tables. Seems under appreciated so I'll be adding my support here! Good variety of drink options. The signature milk teas are all non-dairy based. They also have fresh milk based drinks, fresh/fruit teas, foam topping, yakult, and smoothies. There's even a soy milk drink with soy milk pudding! Most drinks have 1 topping included in the pricing and with the sky rocking boba prices nationwide, their prices are much more affordable. You can add more toppings for extra fees, lots to pick from. The store also offers ice cream and ice cream based desserts (aka milk shake type). They also have whole ice cream cakes, cute coconut milk puddings of various flavors (peach, taro, etc), tiramisu, slices of cake, mochi, etc. I got a brown sugar crystal agar signature milk tea to save for the next day (crystal agar doesn't harden in the fridge as much as regular tapioca pearls) and a peach coconut pudding. Service was so quick. Highly recommend this hidden gem! Hope their business booms. read more

Wow!!! This place is definitely a hidden gem in Glendale Heights. I wish I would've visited this place sooner so they can take all my money. The service is quick and on point since you have every customization option at your fingertips through the kiosk. Everything from the amount of sugar, ice level, amount of boba and flavors into your drink. The entire store is very clean and many cartoon characters placed around the store. There are only 3 tables, 1 bench and 4 chairs, so it gets filled up pretty quickly. The ambiance is soothing and relaxing. Spend your money at this local small business, they are also next to a comic book shop and sushi spot, so you can make an entire evening out of it. read more

Finally a Boba place in the neighborhood. They have been open for a little over two weeks. The staff is super friendly & service was fast. The time I went wasn't busy but if it is busy, they prefer customers to use the kiosk for credit card payments. Otherwise the front counter is where to order if you are paying with cash. Very clean and bright environment! Some of the items are not ready yet to order but I'm sure they will be soon! I ordered the Ginger milk tea with lychee and Milk tea with lychee. Freshly made! Will definitely be back to try the different flavors. Just wished they had more milk substitutions like coconut milk :) read more

Brought a friend who had never had boba before and I admit I was nervous because abuse I had never been to Boba Calico... but wow! So blown away. I ordered a passion fruit tea, my husband got the Thai tea, and my friend got the brown sugar (all with tapioca as the topping). Tapioca pearls were the right balance between squishy and firm, and the milk teas were flavorful and just the right sweetness (we all ordered 100% sweetness). If you look around you will see the space has a lot of menus and the variety is amaaaazing! We already want to come back and check out some of the food/dessert items they had. Inside it feels like a normal, cozy coffee shop. We live about 20min away but always come on Sundays for the Costco nearby... excited to come back this weekend :) Highly recommend if you're looking for good quality boba! read more

I absolutely love this place. It's a very lowk place and suprisingly not a lot of people know of this place. But this place needs so much more hype. The prices are reasonable and taste so good. I recommend the Oreo milk tea with Oreo cheese foam 100% sugar it's so good. Hope they expand more! read more

We ordered the grape and strawberry Tanghulu, and both were incredibly fresh, perfectly crunchy, and absolutely delicious! The customer service was outstanding--everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The ambiance was just as impressive: clean, cozy, and a great place to relax while enjoying a sweet treat. If you're looking for fresh Tanghulu, great drinks, and excellent service, Bobar is definitely worth visiting. We'll absolutely be coming back!

We ordered from the touch screen and none of the drinks could be customized for sweetness and the coffee could not have boba added so I had to physically give extra cash to the employee after I finished my transaction on the touchpad. Strawberry matcha- way too sweet with a lot of jam on the bottom Vietnamese coffee- tasty Tang hulu- still frozen with ice dripping off it. Nothing like the picture lol Feel bad for the one employee who could barely keep up working the register and making all the drinks.

The Boba plushy key chains are also so cute. It was only one staff member present, but he was so kind. He took the time to explain the drinks and the process of making them.

Overall though, it's a great spot if you're craving boba and want lots of options!

We ordered the Pink Iced Matcha and the Injeolmi Cream Latte, and both drinks were delicious. The service was friendly, welcoming, and made us excited to come back again.

The weird part was asking if i had a punch card and when i said no they didn't offer me one either? Either way, i got the taro strawberry smoothie and a hazelnut iced coffee. Neither of us enjoyed the drinks because they're very syrup heavy resulting in a drink that's wayyyyy too sweet. It just tastes like drinking concentrated syrup and powder blended/mixed with milk. Barely tasted any taro. Having some real ingredients like frozen strawberries with taro powder is what I'd expect at this price point. Not both ingredients being powdered and syrups. The tapioca itself was really good, soft and not too chewy. But there's just way too much of it, you're eating boba more than enjoying a drink. The brown sugar syrup that the boba sits in doesn't help with the additional sweetness in the drink. Wouldn't recommend for real drinks

One of Aurora's (Chicago Suburbs) Best Boba Tea Spots!…read more After traveling around the world and tasting boba from Taiwan to Singapore, I can confidently say that Vannie House in Aurora delivers some of the best tapioca pearls I've had in the U.S. The pearls are perfectly chewy, fresh, and absolutely on par with the quality I've experienced in top-tier Asian tea shops. One thing I really appreciate is the tapioca-to-drink ratio. Most boba shops either overload you with pearls or drown everything in too much liquid. Vannie House nails the balance, every sip and scoop feels intentional and well crafted. I tried several drinks on my visit: M9 (modified with Thai Tea) -- Smooth, flavorful, and extremely well blended. A3 Orange Peach with Black Tea -- Sweet, refreshing, and surprisingly layered in flavor. Hot Chai Tea -- Rich, warm, and incredibly smooth. Easily one of the best chai teas I've had at any boba shop. The interior decor is also a standout, clean, modern, cozy, and aesthetically designed. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and enjoy your drink rather than rush out. Huge shoutout to Niko, whose recommendations were absolutely on point. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, exactly the kind of service that keeps you coming back. If you're in Aurora and looking for high-quality boba tea, Vannie House (my #47 Boba Tea Spot) is a must-try. I'll 100% be returning whenever I'm in the area.

Or probably because the service was truly horrible .The guy seems like he doesn't want to be there or he doesn't want to work anymore. The vibe i got was a very rude kind of vibe but not actually rude. But yeah I don't think I'm ever going back. The drink I got was okay it wasn't anything special that you would want to go back for. There are other places that can give you better drinks I was kind of expecting it to be in a cute jar but it was in a plastic cup and I was never asked if I wanted in any other containers. Anyway happy drinking!

The prices are okay for a local place. Basic looking with a counter to order at. It's certainly a popular place judging by crowds. The coffee is the main thing. A lot of cold and hot choices. Frozen things also like milkshakes. Lots of flavors of these. It's $4.75 to get a Latte. Refreshing. Has a few non dairy milk choices including coconut. It's about $10 for Avocado Toast. Basic looking but can add an egg. This already costs too much so piss off. As for the rest of the menu it's meaty especially with bacon. They also have chicken and fish options. For sure it's a great place for light meals. It's open at breakfast and lunch and there's a pretty great variety. This is located on Irving Park at Walnut.

This is the consistency of the tapioca is that of reheated old tapioca. I have worked at a bubble tea shop where they reheated tapioca and this is the same consistency. The tea itself is so watered down. The milk tea is almost translucent because that's how little content there is in it. I get there aren't many bubble tea places in this immediate vicinity. I'd recommend trying a fruit tea if you're really in a pinch.
