The drink menu had a great plethora of choices and we opted for the strawberry slush with strawberry popping boba and the rice oolong fresh milk with boba. The cups were adorable and very strong! I think that's what makes a great drink shop; great quality cups and high quality drinks. My husband's strawberry slush tasted so good. It had this nice creamy strawberry aftertaste that we were both instantly addicted to. The service was great and the drinks were delicious! We will definitely come back again and again.

Bread could have been better, but not the worse. The crispy chicken was the star of the meal! I'll definitely have that again. Great crisp and flavor. I got it with Boom Boom sauce and it worked great. Fries were good, and so was the milk tea. The cinnamon sugar waffles though were a total let down: very dry. Extremely disappointing All in all, a good local option and will definitely order again.

I wasn't impressed with the bread itself but we all have our off days but it would probably have taken this to 5 stars. I also had couple of the waffles to go and this is where things kinda start falling apart a little and literally. They came on a stick but you couldn't really hold the stick up as the waffle was too heavy so I didn't understand the concept. It still had good flavor though. They Ube waffle was different but I didn't feel I tasted any "ube" like I am not sure it added anything except the color. I had the smoothie as well and that was very sweet and didn't taste natural so that I didn't like but I am sure others might. I definitely would have preferred a more natural smoothie. Inside the store its kinda cute for teens to hang out. So overall I recommend this place. Food : 4/5 Service: 4/5

Some color would be nice, but this place is clean and there's a lot of seating. I ordered a hot coco ube coffee and customized it to 50% sweet using the kiosk. There was only one person working here when I put the order in, but someone else came in later to help. My drink took a little time, but the space made the wait tolerable. Glad to see a nice variety of different boba drinks here and having the option to dial down the sugar. It's nice to see some real coffee and tea offered with the fruit drinks, smoothies, and such. You can also get bubble waffles here which are always a good choice. Novatea should be your regular boba spot, if you're in the area.

My wife's Ube drink had a richer flavor than others because they used pieces of the actual fruit. I enjoyed my waffle ice cream as it wasn't the typical waffle cone; once most of the ice cream was gone I ate the rest like a sandwich. The inside was also spacious and comfortable. Its location in downtown Lemont was also a plus as we took advantage of exploring it and the trails along the I & M Canal to burn off the calories we just took in.

I wanted to write a review because I worked here for about a month before being suddenly fired…read more The owner is nice, but her husband, who manages everything, created a very uncomfortable work environment. He frequently brought up politics, demographics, and "statistics" at work in ways that felt inappropriate and often came across as biased. It wasn't the kind of environment I expected from a workplace. I personally chose not to engage with these conversations because I was there to work, and I try to keep my personal beliefs separate from my workplace. However, being repeatedly exposed to these types of comments from management made the environment feel unprofessional. I also noticed that he would tell us certain employees had quit, but after speaking with those employees, I learned that was not always what happened. This made me feel like there was a lack of honesty and transparency in how situations were handled. One comment that really stuck with me was when he told me and another young female employee that we'd be prettier if we spoke more intelligently and that men would like us more. We are both very young girls, and that comment was incredibly inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. I was also told that if I came in early every day, I would receive a $1 raise. I did exactly that, and I received the raise on my final paycheck. Just a few days later, I was fired. It was confusing to be recognized with a raise and then immediately let go without being given a meaningful explanation. I was told I was being fired because I supposedly had an attitude with a customer. When I asked what had happened, I wasn't given a clear explanation and was simply told they had decided not to continue my employment. I work hard, take my jobs seriously, and I rarely leave negative reviews because I know everyone is trying their best. I didn't contact them afterward because I felt I had already been treated disrespectfully. After the way I was spoken to and the lack of honest communication, I didn't feel another conversation would have changed anything. As a customer, I also found the food to be average, especially for the price. Before I even worked here, my mom and I had cheesecake from the café on a few different occasions, and every time it had a noticeable freezer-burn taste. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. Based on my experience as both an employee and a customer, I would encourage people to support another family-owned café instead.

It's nicely situated and I couldn't help but think how much of a nice scene it would be at night with the patio lights on. They have a modern design and everything was very clean with plenty of tables and spaces for plenty of people. Hopefully they have outdoor seating to make use of the patio out of front in the warmer months. Although a number of the sweet pastries and cakes sounded really good as well as the drink options, I ordered an iced mocha and a feta and spinach puff to go. But then I saw a turkey and cheese croissant was available too and I switched to that. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. There was a hiccup with my order from changing the pastry at the last minute but they were quick to give me the correct pastry and even let me keep the other one which was nice. I'm sure I will be back again.
