Bubble Tea Lab in Gurnee is basically a nerdy boba lover's dream come true. Picture this: you walk…read morein and it's got that effortlessly cool vibe.... manga on the shelves, board games galore, and even a giant whiteboard begging for you to doodle on it. We rolled up, got comfy, and sipped our way through a taro slush, strawberry milk tea, mango milk tea, and a strawberry smoothie.... every single one hit just right. No gimmicks, no drama, just top-tier boba and good vibes. If you ever wanted to sip bubble tea while pretending you're in an anime café, this is the spot!! Best day everrr!!

The soda was a little treacherous as it was sealed like a milk tea and exploded a little when I stabbed it but was absolutely delicious and they offer toppings for this just like any other drink and carbonated boba offers a truly unique experience.

Smells and tastes like cheap corn syrup but some palettes are into that I suppose. Sigh, I pray that one day we will have an authentic bubble tea place, And why are the bubbles extra rubbery here. Undercooked in my opinion.

Ube pancake with the ube butter and coconut jelly was made just right. The Galbi topsilog was good. Very rich marinade, not what I like, but on this plate with the garlic rice it works.

Customer service was very good, the guy behind the counter saw us looking at the menu and asked if we'd like to hear about the specials... and they checked on us although at the table even though it felt more like a self serve style diner. Overall, good spot to get a quick fix for Filipino food craving.

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.

Almost as if they've been there a bit too long. Had a very... wet residue on the frosting & the dough wasnt as soft as expected. I've had mochi donuts before, so, I knew what kind of flavor & consistency I was looking for. Same with the boba tea. The pearls were a bit too tough & didn't taste quite right. The staff was very welcoming though! & it seemed like a nice little spot for teens/kids to hangout. It wasn't a horrible experience, just not my favorite.
