Original acai
Char I.

I ordered acai bowl and it is not on a bowl, it is in a cup a first for me. The acai is FROZEN and in blocks like so hard.. Really disappointed for the price as well I regretted I did not go to Lolo's.

Booba wall

I've been going to bubble tea labs for a while. I go between the Libertyville location and the gurnee location. They never disappoint, no matter the location. My favorite and recommendation is the brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar jellies. I love how chewy the jellies are. The service is usually pretty quick once you order. They have self paying kiosks that will take your order and ping the barista. This location had a super cool boba wall and gave me trendy vibes. Will definitely be back.

Wall art

Bubble tea lab is tucked away in a small strip right by Wildberry. We stumbled upon Bubble Tea Lab after seeing their large sign outside. And wanted to see what it was all about. When we walked in we saw this super cute wall art and their large variety of beverages. We decided to try the banana milk tea and the strawberry milk tea. The banana milk tea was a bit too sweet for my liking (mainly because bananas are usually pretty sweet) but my husband loved it. I really enjoyed my strawberry milk tea, I got it with boba and strawberry jelly to amplify the flavors. It was delicious!

thai milk tea

I haven't been here much because the few experiences i've had here haven't gone well. The year or so ago I was here last, the boba was really flavorless and unenjoyable, but I heard it was under new management since then so I was interested to try it again. The place is really cute, and is pleasant to be in. Service varies for if you'd like to order it off a kiosk provided or in person with a cashier. The reason I gave it two stars is because in my experience, the boba hasn't improved. My friend who I went with got the mango smoothie, and although they really enjoyed the flavor, the car filled with a pee-like smell. My partner was not a huge fan of the boba and said it had an aftertaste, as well as their slushy's consistency as it was more soupy than smoothie like. I am a huge boba lover and I would totally recommend somewhere else like milkcow or kung fu tea personally.

Mango milk tea with boba, and taro milk tea with boba
Fabiola R.

I've been a loyal customer of Bubble Tea lab for quite some time and it's great to see the service and quality of products improve over time. I recommend ordering the iced milk teas over the slushee in order to get more flavor in your drink, there is also an up-charge for the slushee. One of the best milk tea locations in Lake County! Go to drinks: Coffee milk tea, taro milk tea, strawberry or mango milk tea!

Bug inside of my smoothie.
Claire L.

There was a bug in the mango smoothie that I ordered, looks like a fly or something. The employee was also grouchy, would not come again.

Brown sugar boba
Karin P.

It's ok, you have to use a kiosk to check out if you're paying with card. Which kind of sucks because the person deferred me to that but I wanted to ask her questions about the menu being my first time in. Oh well. I used to get brown sugar all the time in Singapore!! It was my favorite so I figured I'd give this place a try. Got brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba. It was a little off to me as expected an the boba was jelly not tapioca which kind of ruined it for me. Also it was damn near $8. Sheeeeeesh. I don't think I'll be a regular here.

Taro smoothie with mango pops, instead of boba. Love the syrup on the side!!!

Love the concept of this place, create your own drink! Was so excited to see the mango and strawberry pop options instead of the traditional boba!!!

Avocado Banana with boba smoothie
sarah t.

Just visited the Bubble Tea Lab in Libertyville. I ordered an avocado, banana and oat milk with boba. It tastes like ice milk. Couldn't taste the avocado or banana. It seem like they only use powdered flavor and not real fruits and vegetables. Definitely can't be healthy. I'd rather have the real produce in my smoothies. 20 minutes after drinking this imitation boba tea, my mouth and tongue are very sore feeling. Must be all the powdered produce they use. Going to have to take some Benadryl and never go back there again!!!!! Horrible place.

Aesthetic: it's pretty cool, bright, manga shelf Smoothie: we ordered the Taro blended bubble tea with tapioca balls. Lacked flavor, tasted like ice blended with a teaspoon of powdered taro. 0/10 recommend. Customer service: dude barely acknowledged us when we walked in. Probably said a total of 5 words to us: AirPods in, head down, very short interaction. We don't expect much but this was by far the bare minimum we've ever gotten as far as customer service goes. Save yourself the $ and disappointment and just drive to the mall and get your bubble tea there. Or to liquid fusion.

Matcha Milk Tea
David S.

Had to wait for tapioca but that's completely understandable. On the other hand, the texture of the tapioca was not good. It also had a very weird taste to it. I had ordered the matcha milk tea. The taste of the matcha was barely there. It tasted very artificial and it was over diluted with milk. The decor of the place was very nice though and the cleanliness of the place was good.

Experience: My girlfriend and I were walking around a nearby trail when we were in the mood for bubble tea. Being that we live in the city, we were not expecting any bubble tea places nearby. To our surprise, we came across Bubble Tea Lab and it surely did not disappoint. Note: This review was completed during the COVID pandemic, and therefore, my experience is truly based on pick up and limited interaction with the staff. Parking: There is a lot located right in from the Bubble Tea Lab. Once you arrive, a staff member walks to you and give you a menue. So you stay in your vehicle the whole time. Very safe and clean and experience. Worth: This place is definitely my Top 3 places for bubble tea! I am just so sad it is so far from Chicago. The tea was very milky and delicious (As pictured below). If I am in the area, I will be sure to always visit and a grab a drink. 100% WORTH!!!!

In love with the brown sugar milk tea!!! Love the convenience of ordering at the window as a way during covid. Will always go back and try others.

This was first time going to Kung Fu Tea and the experience was better than I imagined! It's…read moredefinitely the cleanest establishment I've been to in regards to "fast" food! Clean enough to eat off the floors. The tea was delicious but I'm just not a fan of tapioca balls regardless. My sister in law said they were the best they've had and they drink boboa tea all the time. It was also nice to see that they use fresh ingredients instead of being so processed. We got the Oreo milk (lactaid) drink and my family got the oolong tea! Both were great! I'm not sure if we will come back but that's only due to the fact that we're not boboa tea people! If you are one of those people this is the place to go!

I ordered online a taro almond milk with tapioca pearls . When I picked it up, drink was brown…read more Usually this drink is purple. It was so incredibly sweet and I asked for 70% less sweetness. When I brought it back, the man working behind the counter was very kind and he said he will change it for me and the reason the drink is probably so sweet is because almond milk is already sweetened. He then said the reason he gave me brown sugar Boba is because the regular tapioca pearls were not done cooking. I'm not sure why he didn't tell me this before he gave me the drink. Either way he remade the drink and used regular milk powder, but this still tasted nothing like Taro And the drink was brown in color . The tapioca balls are very low quality also. Taro is supposed to be PURPLE
