They have a small set of games that can be used for social time with friends and the setup with distinctly different areas allows for patrons to enjoy different vibes depending on where they sit. As for the drinks, I love the use of actual fresh fruit in the smoothies, which is distinct for anyone who has been disappointed by powders and syrups elsewhere. The other drinks are also made with high quality ingredients and allow for sugar and ice levels to be changed as needed. The prices are very good for the Chicago suburbs and the sizes are generous (especially the Extra Large!). In addition to smoothies, they also carry a selection of teas, cheese tops, fruit teas, tea lattes, flavored yakult, milkshakes, and more. This is one of the spots that you can find authentic Asian flavor combinations that you only expect to see in Chinatown, Schaumburg, or Naperville. Overall, one of my favorite bubble tea spots in the area and definitely worth a visit if you're nearby.

Their desserts are just as impressive. The banana pudding is creamy, fresh, and perfectly balanced.

My sister suggested Blackberry Market in Glen Ellyn for lunch. They have a great selection on their…read moremenu for both breakfast and lunch, and they also have ready-to-go items in a refrigerated case. I had the pick two, which was a half a sandwich (grilled cheese) with a half salad (kale Caesar). The salad was so good! Fresh, crisp and lightly dressed. However, the grilled cheese was pretty sad. I opened it up and there was hardly any cheese. It was just like eating two pieces of grilled bread. They need to improve on that for sure. I also had their 12oz wildflower latte which was very tasty, but served lukewarm and not hot. If the milk is not steamed, it will bring down the temperature of the coffee. I like my specialty coffees served hot. I do have to say every staff member we came in contact with was friendly. They seemed happy and were there to help and answer questions. You place your order at the counter, and you receive a number which you display at your table. There are two dining areas with tables and a few booths to dine at next to where you place your order. Members of the staff bring your order to the table. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Even with the sad grilled cheese sandwich which was disappointing and the lukewarm latte, I would definitely go back to Blackberry Market again to try other items on their menu. I'll pass on the grilled cheese, though.

No wonder this place is crowded - the food and drinks are delicious!…read more My husband and I loved the coffee croissant donut, hash brown bread, and Korean iced milk coffee. Prices are reasonable, especially the drink. You get 24 oz for only $4.09 which beats an iced latte at most places. They'll warm up any items for you by request. We ended up taking everything as is, though, because we like pastries cold or room temperature, and we used our air fryer to heat up the hash brown bread the next day. The only thing I didn't care for was the cream cheese pastry. I love cream cheese but there was some flavor added to it that I didn't like, so I would skip all cream cheese items here in the future. My husband didn't mind it, though. We'll definitely be back because we like how you can take your time choosing the pastries at your leisure, the interior is bright and inviting, the employees are kind, the prices are reasonable, and they open early (7 am).

I wanted to like this place, I really did, but after two visits I'm done…read more My first visit was back in January so I was unfamiliar with the ordering process. When I approached the counter no one acknowledged me so I said hi and an employee said hello back but didn't offer to take my order, so I assumed I needed to order at the tablet which is located before the seating and counter area. While placing my order, multiple people walked past me and ordered at the counter, so that was a little confusing. Those people were eating inside, though, so I thought maybe you need to use the tablet for take-out and order at the counter for eating in. To be honest, I'm still not sure. I assume if a person approaches the counter the employee should do more than just say hello and keep working, especially when I had to say it first, so that was a bit off-putting. I had perused their menu before my trip and wanted to try the breakfast pizza but when I saw it in person it looked old and dry so I decided to try the rice crispy treat instead. Well, it was so hard I had to microwave it when I got home just to be able to eat it. While it didn't taste stale, I don't think you should serve a rock hard rice crispy to someone and ask $4.50 to boot. All that said, the iced latte I ordered was exceptionally good, so I kept that in mind for the future. A few days ago I went back and ordered the same exact latte (via their app this time), just in a larger size. It tasted nothing like the one in January. Not only that, but after taking a sip and inquiring about getting some packets of sugar, I was told there were some around the corner from the counter. All I saw was fake sugar in packets and Sugar In The Raw in an open container with a spoon. Maybe I missed where the regular sugar was, I don't know. The whole area felt really disorganized and dirty which was a turn-off. For what they charge I expect fresher food and a consistent drink experience. I want to support small businesses but this place makes that hard. I won't be back.

Stepping into this charming tea room to celebrate National Celiac Awareness Day turned out to be an…read moreabsolute treat. My birthday gift card finally was put to fantastic use, and the entire experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. The atmosphere is undeniably adorable, setting a cozy and welcoming tone the moment you walk through the door. Weekend reservations are a must here, with seatings available at 11:00am and 2:00pm. We booked the 11:00am slot for three of us on a Sunday, and parking was a breeze with a lot conveniently located right across the street. You prepay when making the reservation, which conveniently includes a 20% gratuity upfront. They feature a seasonal, prix fixe three-course menu that comes with one tea of your choice. To make the most of it, the three of us each selected a different tea so we could sample and share. As someone navigating celiac disease, finding a safe and accommodating spot is always a relief. They cater to gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets for an additional charge. What really stood out was that the gluten-free options mirrored the regular menu. Every single course was utterly delicious, proving that dietary accommodations don't have to sacrifice flavor. Whether you're marking a special occasion or just craving a lovely afternoon out, this spot is a gem. Highly recommended!

They also had a few Christmas tea pots for sale. One was so cute I could not resist and bought my daughter an extra Christmas gift. The owner/chef came out to talk to us for just a few minutes. She explained that this was their 24th year! Amazing. She also stated that she travels and often the recipes she makes for the tea house are inspired by these trips. I believe the menu is changed every month. Our server, Gilbert was great. Very helpful and also described each delicious food item on our plate. Be sure to get reservations if you plan to visit. Absolutely love this place! Can't say enough great things about it.
