Had a craving for Milk Tea & this was the closest during my drive up north. I got a Lavender Milk…read moreTea & it was competitively priced at $5.60 plus something like 75 cents for boboa/tapioca pearls. Delicious, not too sweet. The highlight was my choice of the add on Cherry Boboa/Tapioca Pearls. Fun to chew. I liked the flavor. Great service, the lady was very helpful with suggestions. Note that there are 2 Bubblicious inside the mall. I had used Google to look for Bubble Tea and it brought me to the correct parking location without a walk. It's next to the Victoria Secret store. Ambiance wise, I'll say I don't like Gurnee Mills. It's a pretty rough crowd though it's just judging by appearances/vibe which always isn't accurate. There's significant police presence both inside & outside the mall. Even lots of K9 dogs inside the mall. This perhaps make it safe...There is very limited seating around the shop so more of a grab your drink & go or walk around.

5 stars for Bubblelicious in the Gurnee Mills mall…read more I tried them for the first time the other day - they have a variety of bubble teas, tea lattes, and fruit flavored teas. I tried the Watermelon Green Tea - absolutely amazing. It has a ton of flavor of watermelon but you can still taste the green tea too. Staff were also friendly and quick- I would recommend if you want to try some flavorful teas.

I came across this boba shop while looking for boba cafes nearby on Google Maps, and it looked…read morerelatively new, so I wanted to check it out. My fiancé and I ordered a thai milk tea with boba and a mango smoothie with boba. The drinks only come in one cup size, which is pretty large. The thai tea was good, but the mango smoothie was a bit icy and overly sweet. Of note, I asked for 50% sweetness on the thai tea, and my fiancé asked for 75% sweetness on the mango smoothie. The sweetness level on the thai tea tasted just right at 50%, so I can't imagine what it would've been at 100%. However, the mango smoothie was definitely way too sweet. We both liked the boba pearls. They were nice and chewy. Something to note: they do not sell just regular milk tea here, which I found interesting. They sell a milk tea latte* which the cashier explained is like your basic milk tea mixed with coffee. I would've liked to see a basic milk tea. Additionally, their taro milk tea is made from powder, which is pretty common. (Looking for a place that uses real taro though!) With regards to affordability, the drinks seemed a bit overpriced for what you get. They were around $5.50/drink and then an additional cost for boba (or other toppings). Finally, the inside was empty and quiet when we came, and there were several tables to sit at. The boba cafe looked pretty clean, and it is connected to Ohsio Sushi next door.

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. Drinks were good, the Ube matcha was good on sweetness and the Calamansi lemonade was on point. 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!

I saw bubble tea so very much wanted to try it. It was odd at first to see it called the O2 lounge…read moreso I still wanted to try this place anyway. To the right as you walk in is an oxygen bar with a rainbow of flavors to add. Straight ahead I saw 4 pots and the gentleman was kind enough to explain that every day they carried 4 different fresh fruit drinks that was available among other flavors to make bubble tea for the day. The horchata drink is always one of the 4 batches each day and the fruit drinks will vary. I love horchata so decided I wanted boba in it and had it blended like a smoothie and it was delicious! There's room to sit and drink and they serve alcoholic drinks as well from beer and wine to specialty cocktails with fresh fruit drinks, pineapple and coconut water too. They carry tea, coffee and hot chocolate. They make snow cones and smoothie bowls. It's a great place no matter what your mood. You gotta try it!
