Kind of pricey and there's definitely a lack of flavor. Conveniently located in woodfield which is a plus. read more

Chill Bubble Tea - Matcha Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I was pretty skeptical about this place and their boba because (1) I'm from SoCal so I'm pretty picky about my boba (tapioca pearls) and (2) I failed to find a boba spot while I was the city. My nephews and I bumped into this spot during a random afternoon trip to Woodfield Mall. We were pretty excited since finding a boba spot is like finding a needle in a haystack out there. The quality was surprisingly good. Maybe it's because I'm not used to having fresh, quality ingredients being used. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but for the quality it's very worth it. The options on their menu are pretty basic but they make it work. I was reading through some of the other reviews and people have complained about them being understaffed. My visit was in late-July/early-August so I'm not sure if it was because it was a busy day at the mall or because they actually improved in that area. read more

Chill Bubble Tea - Strawberry bubble tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I never got a tea. Why? Because the women behind the counter refused to help anyone in line. When asked she turned and looked at us, turned back around and continued washing out the blenders. She never said a word. The people in front of me eventually left and I was stunned as to what was even happening. This women with black braids and hot pink highlights was the rudest person I have ever encountered in customer service. Never going here again. read more

One of my favorite bubble tea places the only thing that I don't enjoy are the prices the basic flavors are around 5 for a large but I usually get the creations with mango and pineapple and it costs around 7 which I'm definitely not a fan of so if you're looking for a cheaper option I would go to coffee Haus or gravitea. But the quality and the actual tapioca is wonderful and a great mall drink read more

Chill Bubble Tea - Cookies and Cream bubble tea with extra tapioca - Bubble Tea Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Pros: short line, quick service, tasty flavors. Cons: the employees look like they're being held there against their will. They look so bitter. I mean I hate the capitalist machine as much as the next person but don't take it out on your customers. We're just trying to get a little sweet treat before we head back to the grind. In all seriousness though these people look miserable, I like their product but I feel like I'm desecrating their sacred safe place by buying a freaking bubble tea. I'm not one to tell others to smile, but can you at least make me feel like I'm not committing 5 cardinal sins by ordering a drink? read more

They never have cool blue just take it off the menu already waste my time every time I come here

The drink is good if you don't mind waiting in line for at least 20-30 min. It is a "one-lady-shop", the same lady took the order, prepared the drink and then served. read more

Absolutely disgusting! Ordered a Thai iced tea and it was way too sweet. Looked like it was made with some clear liquid and powdered flavorings. It was really bad. I would've gone back and asked for a refund, but we were already in the car. I threw it out after a few sips. Never again! Avoid this place! read more

LOVED it! I'm a huge fan of smoothies with boba rather than a milk tea, and this was phenomenal. I got the Lychee flavor and my friend had Watermelon. She said it tasted like a perfect jolly rancher. Mine was awesome as well, and the boba is good quality. I go here every time I shop! read more

I'm a simple girl who grew up in a city known for baseball, toasted ravs, gooey butter cake, that giant inverted catenary some call the Arch and homemade frozen custard commanding lines the length of a football field. My go-to concrete flavor at Ted Drewes? Marshmallow - forget chocolate, swirls, sprinkles or other edible dazzlers - just plain marshmallow. So imagine my excitement when I quickly eyeballed Chill Bubble Tea on my way out of Woodfield mall and noticed the Marshmallow Puff flavor bubble tea sign. Fine: for this, I can endure another two minutes in the shopping hell (yes, hell) of fame. The sweet, mildly rich concoction didn't stand a chance. By the time I reached the Des Plaines Oasis, it was all gone... I struggled to coax the remnants from the cup but cheap engineering put a premature end to the cause. Ahh... what we had, it was good while it lasted! Marshmallow. Can you believe it? I'm still shaking my head. read more

Really, really gross. The boyfriend and I stopped in Woodfield's Apple Store and on the way out I picked up a strawberry smoothie from here. It was 60% ice, 30% syrup, and maybe four strawberries. The syrup tasted off, like it'd been sitting out too long, and the drink was really sugary and gross- not at all fruity. I will not order smoothies or teas from here again- I'll just stick to Joy Yee. read more

I freaking love the Nearby function on the Yelp app. I can't tell you how many awesome places I've discovered just because Yelp thinks I would like it. I was sitting in the middle of Woodfield Mall thinking about how I can no longer afford half of these stores due to my new "budget" that leaves very little (no) money for shopping. I was about to have a mild meltdown until Yelp said "You know what? You're a great person that deserves good things in life. You should go for a bubble tea right now." To which I replied, "You're absolutely right, Yelp. Let me go find this place." The menu is huge. It's hard to decide which flavor to get because there's just so many choices. However, when I saw the chai bubble tea, it was settled. I asked the girl working if all the smoothies include the tapioca pearls or if I had to pay extra (looking back, this seems like a dumb question but whatevs) and she said they were included. I did see a little sign on the register that said there's an extra charge for the flavored bobas (kiwi, strawberry, etc) I was also promised a free smile that I never got. Hmmm... The bubble tea itself was really delicious. It was creamy and blended really nicely--no ice chunks at the bottom! The tapioca and chai paired really well together, so I'll have to order this more often. Also: don't forget to use your 10% check-in offer from the Yelp app. I totally forgot to and felt silly asking for a $0.40 refund; although, that would have been $0.40 I could have spent shopping. read more

I hate coming here and forgetting the most important thing... THEY DON'T TAKE THE STAMP CARD HERE!! Also, the past two times I've been here there's been something off about their particular bubble tea. The worst of which has been last time which has been that the bubble tea was not at all frozen, it was all just a liquid mush that was lacking on its normal flavor. And with the little plastic thing on the top you don't get as much product as you would if you would go to another establishment with a cap. I know that people are raving here, but if you haven't experienced Chill at other locations you can't see what you're missing! They always seem to be really lacking SOMETHING at this location, and I suppose it's because it's IN a mall base, rather than at the Village Crossing location for example in Skokie which is in a strip mall but still its own standing business. It's nice that they have one of these in the mall though. read more

I have known about this place for awhile, and I knew that I would love it when I eventually tried it. But I didn't because it is a good 30 minutes from my house, it is annoying to park in the JC Penney parking lot and make a trek through prom dresses and a perfume counter to get a bubble tea. I had a bad day that started out a dentist's office and I needed a reward for being such a trooper. I found myself only about 15 minutes from Chill, and this was my ticket to tapioca. There were lots of choices, not as many as Joy Yee - but they had my favorite (almond) and others that I had never even imagined. Some were made with fresh fruit, some weren't. I ordered a large almond with tapioca and a couple of minutes later I was presented with heaven in a cup. Years ago I had gone and visited a friend in Texas. It was there that I discovered bubble tea like this. The kind that comes in all sorts of flavors and is sealed with a plastic lid. I instantly fell in love and haven't found anything similar...until now. This was near identical to my Texas bubble tea and fear consumed me. I would be driving 30 minutes away to get my fix many more times. I am planning my next visit right now in my head. I want to branch out and try more flavors - but I don't know if I can give up the almond. I hear that there is a punch card and a Yelp check-in offer. I will find myself here again and again and I'm not ashamed. read more

The bubbles are frozen. The girl that worked there told me that they use a non-dairy powder milk substitute for the blended drinks. I thought that was gross but maybe normal for bubble tea places since she was so honest about the answer. So I opted for the fresh fruit smoothie and they actually used real fruit (hence the name). Not bad but nothing great. Ba Le in Argyle has much better fresh fruit bubble tea. read more

I love Milk Tea Tapioca ... 'nuff said I absolutely despise the idea of going to Woodfield Mall, but no one else does Milk Tea and when I am craving it, I will actually haul my butt to the mall, park, walk in and order my drink and I leave!! Seriously ... try the milk tea ... it's on the sweeter side, but so yummy!! It's 4 stars because it's in the mall (did I mention I hate Woodfield Mall)?? read more

My thoughts? Eh, it sufficed for the bubble tea addict in me. I had the Purple Oreo and the Tiramisu. The Purple Oreo was just a basic taro bubble tea. There didn't seem to be anything "Oreo" about it. I mean it was good and all, I like taro bubble tea, but I didn't see what made it Oreo. The tiramisu was absolutely delicious! I wish more places had that flavor. The tapioca pearls were cooked well, but were completely flavorless. Other places I've been to have somewhat sweetened pearls, but this tasted like absolutely nothing, making it odd to chew on. That's not even to mention how incredibly stingy they were with the tapioca. There was barely any in my drinks. If not for the delicious tiramisu and taro (because I'm still trying to figure out the Oreo part...and yes, I'm well aware of what purple Oreo is supposed to be), this would only get two stars. The customer service was pretty poor. My first visit, I attempted to get both drinks together. One thing about me and bubble tea: I never order just one drink. Here's how the conversation went: Me: I'd like a large Purple Oreo with tapioca and... Guy behind counter: $4.31! Me: Um...ok... Yep, he actually interrupted me to practically shout the price at me with a look that made it clear there wasn't going to be anything other than the one drink. Ok then. I actually went back later that night as I was determined to get the tiramisu. I walked up to the counter only to be "greeted" by a clearly unhappy young woman who just stared at me. I ordered a tiramisu bubble tea. The response... "Do you want tapioca in it?" Um, well, that's what the BUBBLE part of bubble tea is, so yes I do. It was pretty much thrust at me once it was done being made. She and the other girl there just looked incredibly uphappy, borderline annoyed/upset at having to be there. What an odd experience with rude employees. The place was also pricey. The $4.31 for the large purple oreo...a dollar more for the same size tiramisu. Not really sure why it was more expensive. Maybe I am just used to the place by me that uses much better ingredients, has only one size (Chill's size large), and sells it for under $4. Overall...eh. read more

Ok, I don't get the whole name/incorrect grammar thing, "Chill Bubble Tea"...one star deducted for that. =P While there are a variety of malls me and my gf can stop by to shop, we often come to Woodfield just so we can swing by here and grab some drinks. I have yet to have a bad one yet. The strawberry/banana bubble tea is great, although lately I have been getting the milk tea which brings back some childhood memories. I definitely have to say the quality of ingredients is the best yet, they use nothing but real and fresh fruits. Also, their tapicoa is the best I've had. I have to agree with Misty S., bad tapioca ruins the bubble tea experience and I've never had a bad pearl here. It's so good here we've been tempted to just buy a cup of tapioca! =P All in all this is a great place to swing by if you're at the mall and grab a great drink. Make sure to ask for Adam, he's been great! read more

I love bubble tea and I order a large mango every time. I have not had a bad experience here. Pricey, yes. But I love treating myself with this. read more

I am absolutely livid with the customer service, if you can even call it that. The girl who was working today (brown hair that I believe was curly but I can't be sure since it was up) was rude and cold. The customers in front of us were given tapiaco when they asked for none. She rolled her eyes and made a huge fuss about having to make a new one for them. The customer politely asked her why she had such an attitude about it and she just waved them off and said you can go now. Once it was our turn, I didn't even want to order but since we wanted for 10 minutes to be served, my friend and I ordered our drinks. I ordered a mango with tapiaco and my friend ordered a berry with no tapiaco. Well I'm sure you can guess.... my friend was given tapiaco in her drink. Why even ask if we want it or not if you aren't going to do the order as it was given? On top of that, I got no hello, no thank you, no type of acknowledgement of any sort. I am absolutely appalled that this girl is even allowed to work here with the attitude she gives the customers. I'm even more surprised there is customers that even want to be served. As for chill itself, I've had tons better and I will not be coming back ever again. Its a hot summer day, to have one worker only is a bit ridiculous. ETA: I went back to Chill and although the service was better, tapiaco was out which I guess is understandable if it was only out for a bit but it was out for an hour which makes me think there needs to be better preparations. All in all, it was a better experience but still not totally happy with the experience. read more

According to Yelp, a 4-star rating says "I'm a fan!" Rightfully so, because I am a big fan of bubble tea, and any place that sells bubble tea better expect to see my glowing happy smiling face very soon, because that'll be the siren song. And any place that sells bubble tea, I am a fan of, fair and square. About this place though, the guy who took my order of Taro bubble tea was so nice and courteous. He really made me feel welcome. I purchased a small taro bubble tea which cost me about $3.80 or something like that thanks to the little blue booklet, the Passport to Savings, that the mall offers. I got 10% off my bubble tea purchase, but nevertheless, if I had to pay 10% more than the original price, it wouldn't have made me change my mind on it. Bubble tea is bait for me. Next time I return to Woodfield, which may be sometime in October, I'm hitting this place. No doubt about that one. read more

Since I ran to the mall when it opened so I could pick up some items I needed before the rest of the day, I kind of forgot to eat. Before leaving, I stopped here to get some yummy in my tummy. I decided to get the Orange Creme classic. It wasn't really yummy. The flavor was good, but not amazing. The balls were disappointing. Half the tapioca balls were hard and/or shriveled up. I was willing to forgive the flavor, but I can't forget the balls. I'm glad this location is exposing people to bubble tea in the mall but I've had sooo much better elsewhere. read more

Worse milk tea ever. If they have I'll give this a zero star. It's very watery and have only green tea flavor. I ordered a Jasmine milk tea.

A lovely cup of tea, in a slightly out of the way wing of Woodfield. It's worth the trek. Chill Bubble Tea does bubble tea. In fact, bubble tea is all it does. The shop is simple, sleek and clean, though it's nice to eye the giant tubs of tapioca in front of the shop. Their unique "thing" is to offer combinations of flavors for a few dimes more, which is how I ended up with a strawberry shortcake bubble tea (almond, vanilla, strawberry). They also have flavored tapioca, which I'll try later. In short, the smoothie part was nice and fresh, and the tapioca was perfectly cooked - a bit chewy but mostly tender. I was done with it on my way out of the parking lot. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back for another lychee-containing flavor; and I'm definitely ready to have some flavored tapioca as well. read more

After my first bubble tea experience years ago in San Francisco I was on a mission to find a bubble tea place in Chicago without having to haul myself to Chinatown. I was pretty excited to find out at Woodfield...especially since it is about 8 minutes away from my house! I have managed to make it to Woodfield once a week for this delicious smoothie treat. You can get your drink in almost any flavor with or without tapioca. If you like coconut you will really enjoy this flavor. I've tried the watermelon and it's not really my fav. It tastes like a jolly rancher...kinda too sweet for my liking. I have found a new addiction and don't mind telling everyone how wonderful it is. Thanks to groupon I manage to snag a large for only $3 bucks! And they have a "rewards" card. Buy 6, get the 7th free! Next week I shall try strawberry. read more

Love the Watermelon !! The staff is always friendly as well as efficient! My favorite stop while at the mall! read more

Chill Bubble Tea - Watermelon, pearls and mixed jellies. What could be better?? - Bubble Tea Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

So, I checked in through Yelp because sometimes I actually remember, and I got a voucher for some percent off! I think it was 10 but still, that's a good deal for doing pretty much nothing! They have a lot of choices, but the service is kind of slow. They had two girls working. One would take a bout 3-4 orders and set up the blenders with the ingredients and the other would work on them one at a time. It's probably just because it's so popular, but nonetheless, you might wait in line depending on when you show up. They have the cool little machine that heat seals the lid on top which you then get to poke with a colored straw of your choice. FUN read more

It's probably my fault for picking the weird flavors, but somehow I'm never fully satisfying my bubble tea cravings when I go to Chill. It makes me sad inside. Their tapioca is sub-par...sometimes frozen chunks or too chewy (aka hard as rocks). I tried a coconut Thai tea and it was pretty good actually, especially since I had no idea what I was getting myself into with the Thai tea...I was informed that it was like a black tea and opted in...but asked for a good flavor to mix in. I wanted watermelon...but deep down I knew that wouldn't work. I always want the weirdest mixtures. The girl working there told me to go with coconut and I did. Good flavor pairing. I guess they are pretty busy most of the time. We had to wait a minute for them to clean some of the blender things to make our drinks. No biggie though. **bonus - they have a punch card! read more

I saw this place as I was walking through Woodfield mall. I've seen other places advertise bubble tea but I had no idea what it was. I'm still not sure that I do. I told the guy working there I had no idea what bubble tea was. He asked if there was a particular flavor I liked. Being a strawberry addict, that was easy. What I got a strawberry icee with some chewey nuggets of tapioca at the bottom. I'm still not clear on where the tea comes in to this. Confusion aside, it was very strawberryey and tasted pretty good, although a bit on the sweet side. The tapioca - I'm still not sure. Not really any flavor. Just a chewey bit of goo. I still just don't get it. Overall it was pretty good, but I just don't get it. I guess I need to try one somewhere else to see if that helps me understand it. read more

First time trying this place. I ordered a large green tea w/tapioca. The flavor was alright but the tapioca was so hard and didn't taste right. As stereotypical as this sounds, but I'm asian and I've tried bubble drinks from many different places and this place was just metiocre. Ehhhh... read more

I got exactly what I was looking for when I came here! I LOVE boba tea and they serve it! They were quick and it turned out delicious!! Their chai tea was AMAZING! It is a great place to stop by when shopping at the mall, or to just go in a grab! It is so convenient that they are located near the Woodfield entrance! read more

The tapioca pearls are like little bits of happiness. The strange girl who works there, and you know who I am talking about is odd but I can deal. Why does she find it neccesary to ask me everytime if i want tapioca, of course I do. This place has become a mall ritual for me. read more

My wife is a big fan of bubble tea so we tried this place when we went to Woodfield Mall. We ordered 2 large and 1 original (small) bubble tea, however, we ended up getting 3 small bubble teas. The guy who made bubble teas were insisting that we ordered small ones, however, he was not the one who took our order and it was because of the communication between the cashier and the guy. And the taste of the milk bubble tea was mediocre. The milk bubble tea was a slush type, so if you are a fan of a real milk bubble tea in liquid type, you should make it sure before the order. Overall, very unpleasant experience. read more

Great bubble tea. Red bean is my favorite. Seems to be a non stop job so be friendly to the workers. They deserve pleasantries.

This was a great 1st experience with bubble tea. The gentleman working the kiosk was courteous and gave us time to decide on what we wanted without being pushy. He made or drinks quickly and they were delicious. Now we only wish we had a place like this where we live. If you havent already you should try it. read more

Delicious bubble tea! Favorite spot in Woodfield. The vanilla milk tea is my go-to and they get it spot on every time. The fruit slushees are great too! Sometimes the line is quite long but it's worth it read more

Come on -- this place rocks it. Get a mango large bubble tea ... it's like eating 10 mangos through a straw...another plus is they have these giant stoves and you can watch them cooking raw tapioca pearls all day...there's always someone stirring those big pots....but the tapioca is soooo fresh, chewy, and warm. never frozen or nasty like most places I've been...HIGHLY recommended...DELICIOUS! read more

Chill Bubble Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

The staff was friendly and the price was about as expensive as you'd expect for a small business with big mall overheads. However, the quality of the tea was unacceptable. The green tea lacked flavor and the Thai tea was made using a cheap mix, rather than the customary black tea/condensed milk blend. The tapioca was okay. Sorry Chill. I felt like I had wasted my money. read more

Bubble tea is delicious and this is by far the best I've ever had. They use fresh fruit which is fantastic and the tapioca balls don't get hard fast like they do at other bubble tea places. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the service. It is almost always very slow and the workers are extremely hard to hear. I swear they whisper instead of talking. read more

This location in woodfeild mall is honestly kinda better than the one at village crossing, but eh! I love chill bubble tea. Me and my sister a lot of the times go there at village crossing, where they have a storefront. This location has a somewhat bigger menu, however. Anyway, make sure to stop by, and btw, only sexy people tip ;) read more
