Really cute shop! Loved that they have kiosks to order efficiently. I thought the ramen wall was super cool, you get to see all of the variety of packaged ramens to pick from. I ordered the milk tiger sugar with tapioca and it was so good. It was super tasty and the flavors blended so well together. The tapioca balls also were the perfect texture and not frozen. Prices are reasonable and staff was friendly and quick!

Blueberry croffle and strawberry latte

The cafe is small Local Bubble tea shop but has extensive bubble tea options. The drinks are delicious and service was quick and kind. They even have Korean ramen bar so you can come in for a quick snack as well. They have small tables with some seats if you want to hang out with friends. Definitely recommended stop near the Glenview train station and the library

Brown Sugar Oatmilk Latte( 22oz olny)

Very cute little boba shop! You order on a kiosk so don't really have to deal with anyone and the boba is very good. The pearls weren't too chewy and the brown sugar boba mot too sweet. The ambiance is adorable and will definitely be a new neighborhood fave!

Nutella croffle
Connie H.

Ordered a mango cream ice upon my kid's request, and it was really good. I'd come back again to get this. I'm not usually all for drinks with whipped cream and the like in it (I usually ask for my coffees without whipped cream on top), it it was a good blend of the mango and cream that made for an interesting drink. We also got a croffle with Nutella and biscotti on top. I really enjoyed that as well. It was on the smaller side, but the perfect size for us, and came with a good price tag too. One of our friends got a milk tea, and she said it was gritty (maybe unmelted powder??) so I wasn't too hopefully about the milk teas, but may try it next time.

Such a cute shop! My brother and I stopped by to grab some drinks and croffles. The croffles and drinks were so good! I'll definitely have to come back again :-)

Let's start with prices. Prices are fair. The ones complaining that it's overly expensive, obviously don't know anything about the current economy. If you have common sense, you'll know that the price of everything has gone up - look at groceries and gas. Now, use that brain and look at the cost of eating out and buying boba teas. With that said, i ordered a strawberry matcha latte. It was very tasty, not too sweet. Remember people, if someone says everything is too sweet they probably didn't try out the whole menu. The croissants were delicious. I tried out mango and blueberry cream. They had just the right balance of flavor. Not sweet. Free street parking. They open later than some of the other boba places. Staff was nice, friendly, and attentive. Definitely not rude. I would disregard the 1-2 star reviews. They evidently don't know anything. If you work and can't afford a boba drink, then might as well stay home.

Matcha Cream and Salted Caramel and Butter Croffles with Matcha Latte and Strawberry Dolce Latte.
Karyn M.

Come for the croffles, stay for the tea This bright and cozy bubble tea place cast a welcoming neon glow as we navigated through the dreary downpour today. The two kiosks are easy to navigate and place your order. A handwritten note explained that espresso was not available today. We had a hard time deciding on which croffles to order but we settled on Salted Caramel & Butter and Matcha Cream. The Croffles are about four-bites size, crispy and light, with delicious toppings. I loved the Salted Caramel & Butter (three cubes of salted butter on top) and my friend enjoyed their Matcha croffle. There are lots of drinks to choose from and they offer regular boba, crystal boba, coffee jelly and other toppings. I went with the Strawberry Dolce Latte and my friend ordered a Milk Taro Tea. Mine had a pronounced strawberry taste with real strawberry purée, not too sweet, and nice chewy boba. My friend thought the Taro taste was good. Overall a super pleasant shop, no seating, but bright and clean with street parking.

Peach Oolong Tea

We randomly came across this boba tea spot today and it was great! I had never had a croissant waffle and they were delicious! My husband called it life changing. I had the peach oolong boba tea and it was really good and the person working there was super kind. I will definitely be back!

This is a very cozy and quaint place. They have 2 kiosks where you can place your order. I got the triple berry matcha latte with oat milk and the salted caramel & butter croffle. This if my first time having a croffle and it was pretty good though smaller than I expected. The matcha latte was not bad either. There is limited seating but my friend and I came during less busy hours so we were able to sit and chat. This place is more of a grab and go. A large group of people came in to place their orders and we made our way out to avoid the crowd. I'd like to come back another time and try their other flavors.

Cookies and cream

This is a cute tea bar in downtown Glenview. When you walk in, there are kiosks where you place your order. We had a longer wait for our order because there was only one woman working when we visited (her helper didn't arrive until later), but it was worth it. It's nice inside, but fyi there is minimal seating. There are benches outside the shop as well. It was a sunny day when we visited so we sat outside. The teas and croffles were delicious! This was my first time having a croffle, and I was in love. The tapioca is prepared so well - perfectly sweet, chewy, and bouncy. I will definitely be going back!

Deliciousness

Return customer here. There bubble tea is consistent. Their classic boba is sweetened and has a good bounce to it . The staff is friendly. They have an interesting pastry that look like a waffle but taste like a croissant. We tried one and it was good.

Tikku G.

Hands down the best bubble tea I've ever had. Reasonably priced and quick ordering with the kiosks. It was packed on a Saturday afternoon but we still got our drinks in a reasonable time. I thought my Thai iced tea was slightly above average but the taro tea was incredible!!! It looked and tasted amazing so this will definitely be my go to drink here!

Milk Assam Black Ice
Stacey W.

Solid milk tea for the suburbs. We did a carryout order and brought it home to drink. The flavor was good for milk tea and it was not overly sweet. There was definitely a good amount of caffeine in it. I even saved one for the next day and it was still good.

Candy Cloud was such a fun little find…read more I tried the peach drink and it honestly reminded me of an energy drink but in the best way possible. It had that refreshing kick, but was definitely on the sweeter side, which I actually loved. Super flavorful and perfect if you're craving something fruity and bold. My sister got one of their coffee drinks and WOW... it was so good. Very caramel-forward with a strong, rich coffee flavor definitely a must if you're into sweeter coffee with a real caffeine punch. We went a little before closing, and I was lowkey expecting slower service, but they were so quick and efficient. Everything came out fast and the staff was still super friendly, which I really appreciated. They also have a surprisingly big food menu, which makes me want to come back and actually try more next time. That elote sandwich is already calling my name Overall, such a cute spot with great drinks and speedy service. Definitely coming back to explore more of the menu!

It was excellent at 50% sweet and ice. The floral notes of the tea came through, and the boba remained just soft and chewy enough to enjoy throughout the beverage. My partner picked up from the counter, and service was extremely quick. Their hours are pretty good as well, going into the evening (when my boba cravings hit the hardest). I love seeing how diverse their menu is, and I look forward to enjoying another beverage soon indoors to check out their decor!

Drinks can be customized for ice, level of sweetness and add-ins or toppings. It was fairly new, they said it had been open a few weeks, and they were friendly and welcoming. They offered me a free bag of matcha popcorn. I loved my strawberry coconut drink with boba -- nice tasting, light sugar and boba were soft chewy and satisfying. They use nondairy creamer instead of alternative milks. Hope that they will reconsider this. I was interested in food options and they said possibly in the future they will add items. Nice new spot for your bubble, fruit and milk teas. Will be back to try the coffee with coffee jelly!

I'm in love. Seriously, I'm in love. I have been looking for a place that offered dim sum and…read moredumplings for a while now (ever since I experienced them at Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone in Seattle) and I can honestly say that Seriously Sanji is a great place. My wife told me there was a dumpling place in Northbrook and took me there for a late lunch the other day. I know that she's not a fan of dumplings, but "took one for the team" and brought me there. We just ordered basic beverages, her a water and I a Coke Zero. She then ordered Pad Thai and I ordered chicken soup dumplings and chicken sanji. The pad thai came out first and it was a huge portion. She barely put a dent into it and it became two additional meals later. She said it was different than other places she's had it and that it was good, but different. I noticed the chicken pieces were huge chunks and the sauce had a little kick to it and wasn't thick, but it was tasty. I first got the chicken soup dumplings. Man, they were good. They're larger than the ones I've had at Din Tai Fung and The Dough Zone, but they sure are delicious. And since I prefer not to drive into the city and spend over an hour on the road to get downtown, to go find some other dumpling/dim sum place; I'm happy there's a great place in the suburbs near me. They rival the other two mentioned previously. Their sauces are great, the dumplings are great. The sanji was delicious. Heck, that's in their darn name. All of it was good. And this is my go to place in the suburbs now. The place is a cute. As you enter the vestibule, there's a dumpling with a body welcoming you in. The place is just all black and red and you wait to be seated. There is a container with chopsticks on each table, but the napkin is wrapped around a fork (most places you have to ask for a fork, so this is a nice change). I could use a knife for the sanji as they are quite big, but it's not a problem eating them without. Our server was very nice and helpful. There's really no place in the north to northwest suburbs that serves this type of food and you'd be foolish to skip it. I'll see you there soon. I'll be the one making the yummy sounds.
