The flavor was strong and brewed well. The the smoothies were thick and smooth. I liked that a non-dairy creamer powder is used in the milk teas. Dairy usually upsets my stomach, so I was glad that I could enjoy these sweet treats. The service was friendly. We had a large group but they managed to prepare all the drinks in a fairly timely manner. We had some little kids in our group of 20+. The kids were so loud, making unnecessarily loud squeaking noises with their shoes and ran around, but they were so gracious towards us.

The Caramel Macchiato Slush tasted like a candy bar in a cup. The slushes were a great cool treat for summer. Watch out for the sealed top, one of ours was not sealed properly and spilled a bit all over the floor. I liked the wall mural and themed artwork. It was a nice melding of cultural images and modern city life. It was simple, minimalistic but left an impression of being bold and vibrant. We will definitely visit on repeat!

We were absolutely heartbroken when our favorite bingsoo cafe closed, so my friends and I were on a…read moreserious mission to find a worthy replacement. Then--by pure luck--we stumbled into Hangout Cafe after dinner next door, and WOW... this place saved us. They have an amazing selection of drinks--coffee, tea, bubble tea, bubble milk tea, and bubble milkshakes--but let's be real, I was there for the bingsoo. Choosing was tough because everything sounded incredible, but I went with the strawberry bingsoo, and it was next-level delicious. Light, refreshing, perfectly sweet... 10/10. The service was fantastic, the cafe was clean and cozy, and there's even a parking lot (major win). We left already planning our next visit. Safe to say, we've officially found our new go-to dessert spot. Cannot wait to come back--HIGHLY recommend!

It was a pretty chilly morning, so I was definitely in the mood for a cup of hot coffee. Around Cafe is one of many shops around the station, which makes it very convenient. I can see myself becoming a regular if I lived in the area and had to take the train into Chicago for work. It's a nice little mom-n-pop store that's set up nice and cozy. I had a cup of espresso matcha latte, which was exactly what it sounded like. Definitely hit the spot for me. The place probably had maybe 5 to 7 tables for seating and most of them were occupied despite it being pretty early. Lady baristas were all very nice and lively, which made the atmosphere nice also. This was my one and only visit, so I don't like to settle on a verdict yet, but if I'm in the area, I can see myself visiting in the future.

But I did think the drinks tasted great, I liked the cups, and the seating area/location was really nice! Would recommend if you are looking for a cozy place to hang out and you don't mind waiting.

(I wish they had a loyalty program or punch card of sorts for her because of her affinity to the store!) Last night, she had a taste for bubble tea so we took her after dinner and we had some pleasant surprises in our drink choices! My boyfriend got the Cookies and Cream milkshake with oat milk ('cause dairy) and it was thick, delicious, and had a strong ratio of milk to cookie in it. Last time my parents took my daughter, I tried a Coconut Purple Berry tea and added tapioca. It is tea, coconut milk, and like, chunks of guava--delicious. I can tell you my daughter's go to is a Taro Milkshake which is milk and taro blended--very delicious! The presentation is appealing--it looks like white clouds in a purple sky. Other drinks I have tried include their galaxy lemon tea, a sort of ocean lemonade (?), etc. My daughter also lives for their croffles--I know she has had matcha, tiramisu, plain, etc. Last night's choice was matcha and there was not a crumb left in the box. Ordering is easy on the kiosk, and the staff is quiet, but friendly. I have been there with different sized groups at different times of day, and the food, drinks, and service are always consistent. Sometimes it's packed, sometimes it's not. Driving back home, I wanted to yell at all the youths in that green siren logoed coffee shop to drink something better across the parking lot, but I did not. I hope Straw & Bubbles continues to find Mount Prospect to be a good home!
