My only qualm (which is really only relevant to a small percentage of people) is that a lot of their ice cream flavors have bananas, which I'm allergic to. Still had lots of other options to choose from.

The sweet husband and wife team complement the cheery brightness of the tea shop. Tea options include brewed with or without the nondairy creamer and toppings are an assortment of brown sugar boba, chia and more. Try the puffs with cream filling, coffee cake, or the decorated cheesecakes. I paired my roasted oolong tea with a strawberry cream puff. The tea was brewed just right, bringing out the strawberry cream enrobed in the delicate puff. Definitely worth the trip and the treat!

I am a boba fan for life…read more Emily and I booked a trip to Bloomington to try some breweries and she mentioned she never had Boba before so.... luckily there was a Boba place around where we were going. The outside of Boba for Life looks unassuming but once you step inside, you are treated to a visual smorgasbord of art on the wall, BOBA written in tile on the floor, random odds and ends for sale against the wall, and a friendly bobarista. Emily got a strawberry/mango tea and I got the dirty brown sugar boba. The lady was working alone so our drinks took a hot minute to make due to prior people waiting and a lady coming in to place an order. Emily and I browsed the eclectic interior while waiting. Along one wall was a lot of their options painted on the wall. Some of them looked interesting but one of my complaints is that I couldn't quite discern what each drink consisted of. The wall nor menu kind of hinted at what each one contained. There was a few things I wanted to order but just didn't know what they contained. So, I settled on the dirty brown sugar as it sounded like a safe option. We got our drinks and booked it to our next stop. We tried both each other's drinks and I dug the mix she came up with and she dug my brown sugar boba. She did point out that the entire bottom of my drink was brown sugar so I took that as a cue to mix it up a bit before continuing my drink. Aside from the interesting interior, I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try any of the other drinks now that I know what we are working with. Plus boba is fun. It's like a drink and a snack all at once.

So expect somewhat bland flavour but has many things going on but in a subtle way. The place is amazing value for money. We are a lot like really many items but just over $110 for 6 adults. The beans were truly amazing. I was a little disappointed with Dan Dan noodles. I expected better. The cauliflower was excellent and so was the fried rice. The tofu tom houn soup were average at best. One thing I would call out is that all dishes were super oily. So expect oily dripping food here. Overall a good mix and variety. The atmosphere is below average - not the best looking place. So ambience is pretty average. I went on Saturday night - the order took really long time ~45-50 minutes. I think they can do better than that.

The crème brûlée layer is really creamy and light. it complements the Thai tea perfectly without being too heavy. The matcha latte was smooth and well balanced too. They offer two boba options (brown sugar or honey), we went with brown sugar and it was cooked perfectly. Ideal QQ texture, not too soft, not too chewy. Also, this spot is just a quick walk from campus, which made it feel extra nostalgic. definitely brought me back to my U of I school days. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet and want to raise that A1C by a few points!
