It is very similar if not better than the one at Kung Fu Tea. My husband has ordered a variety of bubble teas and has enjoyed all of them.

I'll definitely be back again to try the other drinks on the menu. Maybe even the seasonal drinks!

I was in the downtown Lombard area yesterday with my mom for Mother's Day and we were looking for a…read morespot to get something to drink in the warm weather. We stumbled across TruLē and decided to check it out since we both love Boba/tea. The inside was small, but super cute. They have two self ordering kiosks when you walk in & you can also order at the counter. It was very clean and bright inside as well. I asked for a custom version of one of their existing teas and they were gladly able to make it for me! I asked for a mango peach green tea. My mom got a mango strawberry smoothie and we were both super satisfied with your drinks. Their green tea brew is some of the best I've had, it was light but had a great floral taste to it as well. The next time I'm in Lombard I'm sure stopping at TruLē will be one of the stops from now on.

Love this spot! Outside of the quality drinks this place has some fun walls that can be used for…read moresocial media pictures and comfortable furniture to enjoy. 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.

I ordered a Kashmiri Chai... Smooth and balanced with almond milk and pistachios crumbles. It was refreshing but didn't replace my desire for coffee. Lol. So, I later got a small black coffee which was excellent and didn't taste too strong. A variety of dessert options and meat pastries. I was torn between tres leches milk cake or the pistachio. I got the pistachio which was yummy. Just what I needed to feel satisfied without it being too sweet. I spent about 4 hours studying while enjoying my drinks. I would definitely return especially since they stay open to 1am. A late night cozy Tea Cafe experience worth having. I wondered if they dimmed the lights as it gets later? Lol

Friendly service and good pancakes, but drinks were disappointing…read more The good: mini pancakes are made to order, and come out super fast and hot. They are light and fluffy with good flavor and fun topping options The bad: they don't have milk. So if you order any milk tea, you get a non-dairy milk powder so the drink feels and tastes watery. And fruit flavored drinks are made with syrups that vary in how artificial they taste. But the boba is fresh and appropriately chewy, and the staff is friendly. Would prefer for a more authentic boba place though.

The cheesecake was delicious: dense and not overly sweet. The waffle was also good, just slightly chewy with a green pandan custard filling. The staff were very friendly and told us all about the different drinks on the menu, but we just went with water because I had already had my allotment of caffeine for the day. Cute decor including paintings from local artists for purchase and giant bubble teas! It was a bit warm inside but there's also outdoor seating if you would prefer that. We will definitely return to try the Japanese cheesecake!

Heaps of Love is my favorite. The place is great during busy times as well, impressed how quickly they can get through a rush. I love the board they have to the left when you walk in because it helps to see what flavors are available without having to hover over the coolers. It gets boring with the same old offerings at other ice cream places.
