The name is super cool and my coconut milk tea is delicious!! I love the way they cook their boba. It's the right texture with a nice chew that I love. Service was quick and excellent. One thing I will honestly point out is something another review posted below. The teas are advertised at a certain price and when you pay they charge you a few bucks more. I got a small drink and it came out to be 7 something I thought it would be $5.50. That's one thing that I caught as well. Make this place your go to for your boba cravings!!

I was shocked to see how empty the cafe was, especially on a hot day. The quality of the bingsoo was great and really hit the spot! We ordered the injeolmi and strawberry flavors and both were very tasty! I would recommend this cafe for those looking for authentic Korean shaved ice around Chicago.

I had the lychee fruit tea I enjoyed that the tea wasn't overly sweet though they do not ask your preferred sweetness level, they do ask your preferred tea. There's a couple of tables to sit down at and at the time we were there, there was no one else there. We were were welcomed to sit down and relax. The owner was friendly and seemed to enjoy talking to the patrons. Shortly after we were there, a family with a dog came in and it appeared they were dog friendly as the dog was welcomed also (in the arms of its owner). There were TVs placed through out along with today's hit music in the background. Parking was easy to find though it is in a strip mall and so that can vary based on the neighborhood businesses. I have no reason not to want to come back if and when I'm in the area.

I discovered Kandy Crush Melt via yelp after I searched 'Boba Tea' within a radius of me while in…read moreSkokie. Ranked number two at the time, it became an instant bookmark for me being that I absolutely love boba tea drinks. And honey, it was a must visit once I discovered the Oreo Shake which literally made my mouth salivate! Thanks to Ashley S, who shared a picture of it via yelp. I visited post getting off of work prior to driving towards Edens Expressway; its location sits not too far from downtown Skokie, an area that I frequent. I honestly feel like you have to be in search for Kandy Crush Melt because it sits off of Oakton St, yet on Kenton Ave. In my opinion, there needs to be some sort of signage off of Oakton Ave that would capture the interest of individuals driving along Oakton St. Even though I knew what I wanted to order before visiting, I took my time looking at the menu, just to confirm the items. And when I was ready, the employee took my order, and I ended up ordering the Oreo Shake as visited for. As I waited, I was given a free sample of Mini Pancake Bites which were freaking delicious! I finished every bit of what was given because I had not ever tasted anything as delicious as that Nutella syrup. Immediately after finishing off the Mini Pancake Bites, I began taking sips of the Oreo Shake which I must say looked wonderful! Eek! Brain freeze! Tehehe, these taste buds of mine were surged with that delicious Oreo taste as anticipated. From then on, every sip was a mouthful of joy as I drove, resulting in a slight grin that not even traffic on the Expressway could break, I kid you not. There was a point while driving along the Expressway that I questioned if I would be able to finish it off; thinking to myself that it was good that I ordered a medium size Oreo Shake rather than a large because that shake, good Lord; the medium was definitely enough. Being that I had a great experience, I would gladly order from Kandy Crush Melt again when in the Skokie area. For future orders, I can surely see myself ordering via yelp in order to make it an in-and-out visit while on the go for sure.

My fav drink ever basically converted into a creamy milky smooth soft serve cup. I wish they'd keep this flavor forever cuz I'd go every day if I could tbh.
