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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I love bubble tea lab! Brown sugar milk tea is so bomb and the boba is soft & perfectly cooked unlike other places ive been to. + im always welcomed and met with good and quick service. Love it!!! read more

At first the place was okay, it's not the best boba you can get around Libertyville, more mediocre. The boba is overpriced to start with, it's a 8$ drink for something that probably cost 1/4 of that to make it. The service is lacking and the people behind the counter are rude and not welcoming at all. When I asked for clarification on the menu the man behind the counter got irritated and rude. They messed my order up and when I asked for a remake the man behind the counter just gave a look and walked away. (Most of the time they have earbuds or headphones on and don't bother taking them off to speak to you as well). Don't bother with this establishment there is plenty of better places to get boba and small businesses in the area. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We've been here a number of times and when they are open, the drinks are good. But we have been there twice during open hours and no one is there. Lights are on, open sign is lit, but doors are locked. Arrived today at 11:20am (store hours said open at 11am). Lights were on and the open sign illuminated, plus the open sign in the window, but the doors were locked. Waited a few minutes and no one came to the front desk. My kids were disappointed and I'm frustrated as I took time to drive there. read more

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!!!! read more

The gentleman at the register was curt to say the least. I requested a latte and asked if he could add caramel, only caramel macchiato. I guess I don't understand the "Bubble" concept. Instead I got a mocha latte that taste like chocolate milk. Delicious chocolate milk, but not a latte. The reason I was there is because my granddaughter is a bubble tea fanatic. She order Peach Bubble Milk (?) with mango jelly. She LOVED it! If it were only me I would give it three stars because of the cold response of the cashier and the chocolate milk, albeit delicious milk, non-latte. My granddaughter would give it a five. So I compromised. Enjoy! read more

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. read more

While exploring today me and my son went to bubble tea lab in Libertyville and our experience was awesome. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They suggested us the drinks that we would love based on our choices after asking tons of questions and their suggestions absolutely did not disappoint us. Both me and my son got to enjoy some delicious drinks and took some cute photos with some cool backdrops. Would love to go back with friends one of these days read more

Very hit or miss, Not worth the $8+ to risk it. Last time we went the tapioca was hard lol. I wanted to like it but it misses more than it hits unfortunately. read more

Loved this place! I've drove past so many times and finally got to stop in tonight. We got the brown sugar bubble tea (w tapioca and coffee jellies) and the Frappuccino (w tapioca). Both really great. The menu has tons of options and there are tons of jelly and boba flavors. The workers were very friendly and very quick. There is an outdoor walk up window that they assist you at. Can't wait to go inside it looks very nice and bright. read more

This place is great!! Today came in and as I'm ordering the young guy behind the counter was taking my order then as I stop to look what else I'm getting I turn to look he's on his phone texting... It's just unprofessional read more

Aesthetic: really nice interior super nice when you walk in Drink: their drink is honestly... hit or miss.. sometimes it tastes super great and sometimes it tastes watered down. I have visited several times. I noticed that when you order bigger, the flavor is less concentrated than when you order smaller. Service: Service can also be inconsistent. There are days where they are super nice and days were it's alright. I do understand that they probably have long days Overall, It's not that bad. I would still get bubble tea here. Their bubble tea is good when prepared properly and not watered down. I just think that when it comes down to it, it's just that the flavor can be inconsistent. read more

My experience here was completely lackluster. The employees were nice but did not make a lot of effort to greet or be personable with customers. That is okay, but i do prefer being acknowledged. The prices of the tea were fair but i did not like what I ordered. I got the mango lemonade with boba. The boba was inconsistent and seemed old. The mango flavor must have been syrup or powder but it tasted like cheap candy. I did not get a hint of lemonade. I didn't even bother taking a picture because the drink fell flat. I was looking forward to finding a new boba tea spot but this is not it. I like the vibe of the establishment but the quality is not good. read more

It was always a pretty good spot for drinks they've definitely upgraded the staff and drinks and the whole atmosphere, pretty surprised they only have 3 stars but it's never been an issue for me they messed my drink up once but quickly fixed it really without an issue. It's a place I always recommend. Also the food they just started making the bowls are read more

Delicious smoothie's very quick did not have to wait staff was very friendly and caring

Good menu selection and not too confusing. Got a mango lemonade (was on the sweet side) wasn't bad. A passion fruit lemonade with mango bubble (tasted watered down honestly) Brown sugar milk tea with mango bubble (wasn't good at all. Mainly tasted like milk and brown sugar. A good aunt of the mango bubble was already popped so that sucked. I wouldn't recommend the place honestly. read more

AMAZING! I enjoyed the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, tasted just like one of my favorite bubble tea spots in Chinatown! Perfect level of sweetness with the brown sugar drizzle. They have a huge variety of flavors. Very friendly and efficient staff. Cute sitting area inside too! read more

The bubble tea isn't really bubble tea. Its milk with ice and some powdered flavor. I still tasted nothing but milk, ice, and tapioca. This is not what I call bubble tea. They have no fresh flavors due to covid, which I never heard of before, but they maybe could've added more flavor to enhance the flavor of coconut, but it was nothing close to the many bubble teas I have drank over time. I was quite disappointed, and I hope that the owners see my feedback and work on improving their drinks. They do NOT carry bubble tea. Please be advised. read more

The service here is very good. The worker is very kind and friendly and had very good recommendations. The smoothies we got were delicious!

Best boba in the area I'm from grayslake but I enjoy coming here. I love the the sushi burritos too! I would recommend the beef burrito or spicy tuna. 10/10 read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, my daughter ordered a peach with strawberry boba. As we got into the car she mentioned that the drink was really concentrated tasting. This is the same drink she always gets. I also said we ordered a large not a small. We went back in the store and asked if this had been made correctly....maybe it was too concentrated because it was in the small cup. One of the two young persons behind the counter said maybe we took the wrong drink...?? We asked if it could be remade because it was so concentrated as we've ordered this several times before. He just gave a look and walked away. We will never support this location again. read more

Was visiting a couple minutes after closing and the lady had already closed up shop, but still warmly invited us in and took our order. The boba was so good, the customer service was great, and the store is great for Instagram photos! read more

Product is good. But the reasoning for the 2 stars is the service. Super slow. Almost as if I was at the DMV. Also they seem bothered all the time. As if they don't want to be there. If you need something quick drive past to another place. If you don't mind waiting for ever than come on in. read more

I've been here 3 times now so I've finally been able to determine this place is just okay. The actually milk tea is pretty good, a little on the sweet side unless you get the coffee milk tea which is delightfully bitter. What really is the let down is the boba. I don't know if they make it themselves or are using pre-made or what, the boba is not that soft gummy texture, it's so chewy and tough! Very similar to the boba you get in the canned bubble tea drinks, which you expect because it's canned...you do not expect that from a milk tea shop. I really encourage them to revisit what they're doing with the boba because it wasn't just one time, it's every time I've been. read more

Love the walk up window! So easy to order and loved the recommendations! I've been driving by for weeks and finally got the chance. Ordered the mango milk tea blended which was the right amount of sweetness and super delicious when its blended. For sure going to try to get the brown sugar blended next time we visit! read more

Amazing drinks and lots of fun. Good selection. You can watch them make the drinks. There are bar stools and a table, but no other seating.
