For example, the Kungfu Tea in Libertyville, their tapioca pearls are so inconsistent. Sometimes I go and they're mushy and other times, they're so hard like rubber bullets; they're never made correctly and perfectly every time. That's where Te Amo comes in the picture. Their tapioca pearls are consistently good. They also have really good flavor combinations and the drinks are made with care. Along with the boba tea, they also sell mochi donuts and basque cheesecake!

Always passed by here finally decided to try it. I ordered a hot ube dalgona with oatmilk, 25%…read moresugar (lowest it allows). It was still a bit too sweet, I would've picked 10% if it had that option. The foam is a bit sour and bitter, kinda shocking. But not until you get to the actual drink part, it's actually not bad. The light bitterness throughout was really good. Both ube and dalgona flavors come out. But I might try to go with more simple/purer flavors, one at a time. I find mixed flavors a bit too much, since not all mixed flavors go well together. Might just go with dalgona by itself next time or ube creme brulee alone. Also, I think the drink I had would've been better cold, as the ice would cut the sweetness to half if I waited long enough. I would've ordered a cold one but cold would've exacerbated my cough, so hot it is. Also wanted to add that the boba were done well, not under or overcooked. The tapioca itself had a nice toasted sugar flavor. As for service, it's mostly a self-service kiosk. Ordering is pretty easy and straightforward, and they have Apple Pay. Interestingly the ordering system is through Chowbus, they text you your order number.

They'd clearly never been before and were asking about sugar free options (since everything has fruit, I'm found the question silly), but the employee was very patient and kind. Definitely an enjoyable experience and I'll be back!

The menu has a large selection of flavors and flavor mixes along with fresh fruit and loose tea options. We opted for the chai tea smoothie with tapioca and flavored jellies, and a watermelon smoothie with tapioca. The reason I am giving it a 4 is because the flavors were not very representative of what it should actually taste like. The chai was not very similar to chai and the watermelon was more like bubble gum. They were both good but just not as expected-flavor wise! But there are so many other flavors to try out so we will be going back. The prices are the best I've seen for boba tea ever & you can save a dollar if you check in with the app so that's nice! The worker was friendly although she was very busy and the shop was cleanly.

I especially loved that it was not overly sweet, allowing the natural flavor of the mango to truly shine.
