    Matcha latte, Oreo latte bubble tea , taro bubble tea - all so good. Popular place ! My kids want to come back for the crepes.

    Pineapple peach smoothie

    This was the most delicious boba I've ever had! Service was great I would definitely return

    Brown sugar crystal agar milk tea, peach coconut pudding
    Kangni X.

    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.

    Strawberry peach tea w lychee jelly

    Ordered a strawberry peach tea with lychee jelly, it was very good. 25% sweet was very sweet, keep that in mind when ordering. Only critique is I wish they had aloe and the drinks are a bit pricey, but will return!

    Lychee with Mango & Strawberry Jelly

    Tried their mango lychee jelly and also lychee smoothies with strawberry popping boba! Everything was so good and fresh.

    Watermelon milk tea

    I accidentally arrived before opening. they were so sweet and still took my order. i drive from Bensenville to here that's how good they are.

    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.

    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 :)

    Avocado Smoothie, Grape Green Tea with Lychee Jelly (made with strawberry popping instead) matcha ice cream, and Coconut Pudding with Boba

    See all

I looked up highly rated Vietnamese restaurants and found Tasty House 1 in Carol Stream. This place is everything we anticipated it to be. The location is nice and has parking in front, inside is super spacious and had a relaxing and breathable ambiance. We ordered a family appetizer platter that came with all the delicious Vietnamese appetizers like: spring rolls, bbq marinated meat, fried eggrolls, grilled jumbo shrimp, meat wrapped in betel leaf, lettuce, noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, daikon, jalapeños, two dipping sauces: peanut butter hoisin and Vietnamese fish sauce. Another appetizer we got separately was the fried calamari which had a great crunchy texture, the absolute best! For our entrees I decided to build my own pho and chose tripe, rib eye steak and quail eggs. My husband got the spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue). This is honestly the best Vietnamese we've ever had in our lives!!!! I'm so glad I found this place. Awesome service, food and atmosphere. Zero complaints everything was very fresh and perfect. Our hearts left super happy.

There is a separate vegan menu with half a dozen things on it, and other than the drinks and desserts, pretty much nothing on the regular menu is vegetarian. (The papaya salad, which is on the vegan menu, is a ringer: it contains fish sauce.) You've got your choice of various fruit lemonades, bubble teas, popping bubble teas, jellies, etc. Desserts include flan, Vietnamese yogurt, coconut jelly - none of which you'll be eating onsite as you'll be too full after your entree. Portions are on the large side - even the papaya salad is a meal. I got the peach lemonade, vegetable spring rolls and the tofu, vegetable and noodles, which turned out to be a soup, basically Vietnamese ramen. The spring rolls are tasty and come with peanut sauce; the vegetable broth was savory with lots of baby bok choy, plenty of noodles and cubes of fried tofu - it was even better with some of the homemade hot sauce, which I highly recommend. The lemonade comes in a bubble tea disposable cup and contains tiny pieces of fruit - very fruity, not very citrusy. Service was friendly and very personable, which helps if you're serving 16 people. All of whom were happy.

Great flavors and well seasoned…read moredishes, their burgers are great, their rice bowl is great, their fries aren't too good, but their onion rings are awesome. The puddings are also craveworthy and sooooo delicious. Highly recommend the banana. But steer clear of the wings... the sauces are bland and they're smaller side, not worth the money imo. Note: the burgers are cooked to a medium rare or medium by default, so ask for it cooked extra if that bothers you. 2nd Note: the owners are Muslim and this location does "soft close" at noon for 30 minutes for mid day prayer. If you're dining in, you can stay, and if you order online they ask you knock and the non Muslim staff will bring you your pickup order, Overall, with a mostly good and fairly priced menu, friendly staff and a nice and clean restaurant with a good vibe, I think this a hidden gem in the area.

We arrived around 11:30 am on a Saturday and there was no wait. We ordered and tried the following: 1) Shrimp egg rolls 2) Tofu banh bao 3) Small pho, beef broth, brisket, beef meatballs - We specifically order the pho for my girls and they both finished it without a single drop of broth left. 4) Small pho, vegan broth, tofu and mushrooms - Most Vietnamese restaurants do not have a vegan broth option. My mom is a vegetarian so this was definitely a surprise and ideal option! 5) Bun Dau Mam Tom - This can be a mess to wrap the fried tofu, steamed pork, rice noodles, and shrimp paste in lettuce. Everything went well together and the shrimp paste has a slight kick to it. 6) Soft shell crab fried rice - The soft shell crab is crunchy and came with a generous portion of fried rice. We had plenty of fried rice left. 7) Vietnamese iced coffee - My parents generally prefer the Vietnamese coffee hot however Pholicious only serves them cold. 8) Egg coffee - Rich and creamy! We did not try the banh mi but we did buy a bag of freshly baked baguettes to go. Each bag comes with three baguettes. If you buy one bag, it is $3. However, if you buy two bags, it is cheaper at $5. The baguettes held up really well for our home-made sandwiches.

I stopped by when passing through the area for a coffee and to check out dt Bloomingdales new addition. I loved that this was located in an older house and had seating both inside and on the front patio. The gentleman working was filling a sub order before helping me. There was minimal signage posted so I got to ask about what they had to offer. I decided on an iced lavender latte and two donuts to go (biscoff & cannoli). Everything was ready in minutes which was great! My coffee was strong but had minimal lavender flavoring. The donuts were the real win! $2 for each, great flavor filling, and super soft! While the coffee wasn't my favorite in the area, I'd definitely come back to try other baked goods and the sub sandwiches!

I tried a cappuccino and a pistachio brioche donut. The cappuccino was the perfect temperate of hot but not overly hot. Quality wise I also enjoyed the flavors and texture of this cappuccino. That pistachio brioche donut?!?! The 1 I had must have been freshly baked bc goodness it was delicious and warm. HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH, full of flavor, light/delicate and just oh so goooood.
