One of Aurora's (Chicago Suburbs) Best Boba Tea Spots!…read more After traveling around the world and tasting boba from Taiwan to Singapore, I can confidently say that Vannie House in Aurora delivers some of the best tapioca pearls I've had in the U.S. The pearls are perfectly chewy, fresh, and absolutely on par with the quality I've experienced in top-tier Asian tea shops. One thing I really appreciate is the tapioca-to-drink ratio. Most boba shops either overload you with pearls or drown everything in too much liquid. Vannie House nails the balance, every sip and scoop feels intentional and well crafted. I tried several drinks on my visit: M9 (modified with Thai Tea) -- Smooth, flavorful, and extremely well blended. A3 Orange Peach with Black Tea -- Sweet, refreshing, and surprisingly layered in flavor. Hot Chai Tea -- Rich, warm, and incredibly smooth. Easily one of the best chai teas I've had at any boba shop. The interior decor is also a standout, clean, modern, cozy, and aesthetically designed. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and enjoy your drink rather than rush out. Huge shoutout to Niko, whose recommendations were absolutely on point. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, exactly the kind of service that keeps you coming back. If you're in Aurora and looking for high-quality boba tea, Vannie House (my #47 Boba Tea Spot) is a must-try. I'll 100% be returning whenever I'm in the area.

The weird part was asking if i had a punch card and when i said no they didn't offer me one either? Either way, i got the taro strawberry smoothie and a hazelnut iced coffee. Neither of us enjoyed the drinks because they're very syrup heavy resulting in a drink that's wayyyyy too sweet. It just tastes like drinking concentrated syrup and powder blended/mixed with milk. Barely tasted any taro. Having some real ingredients like frozen strawberries with taro powder is what I'd expect at this price point. Not both ingredients being powdered and syrups. The tapioca itself was really good, soft and not too chewy. But there's just way too much of it, you're eating boba more than enjoying a drink. The brown sugar syrup that the boba sits in doesn't help with the additional sweetness in the drink. Wouldn't recommend for real drinks

The boba barista actually made a bit too much for each of us so he put the overage in smaller cups and suggested we trade so we could try both flavors. Good idea! I actually preferred hers; the mango raspberry was good but sweeter than I expected. Voltage is connected to Mr Broast chicken. If you're looking for a jolt of flavor, come here for your bubble tea!

Everest has both! I tried the lotus biscoff cookie butter avalanche (reg size) and LOVED it. The vanilla custard is creamy, delicious and has the perfect texture. I tried my husband's chocolate based avalanche and equally enjoyed the chocolate custard as well. ...I don't like that I'm admitting this.. LOL.. but I finished my entire sweet treat in 1 sitting while my husband had leftovers. This place had my self control out the window, it really is a great spot to end the night at. Andy's vs Everest? My vote is for Everest in all aspects. Service was quick, quality of desserts are top notch and the space itself is inviting with 25ish places to sit. It also has a very cute photo op spot!

We were pleasantly surprised to discover a business that could serve both of these needs so that we didn't split our group after having a delicious meal at Xi'an cuisine. The interior here is quite fun, similar to other spots in the Naperville area. There's several nice opportunities for creating social media worthy pictures and the amount of seating is fairly good for a dessert spot. The menu isn't the trendiest as it covers popular options for custard and bubble tea, but not the more unique options available in some other restaurants in the area. If it weren't located near a competitive market in the Naperville / Aurora area, this would rank a bit higher as you'll find more here than lots of spots in the Schaumburg to Oakbrook area. Presentation is a bit on the simpler side, but still fairly good. The quality of the ingredients was pretty good as well. Service wasn't super fast as there was only 1 person preparing all the orders, though the wait was surprisingly not too long. Prices feel a little on the higher side, but not unreasonable given the area.

We decided to try out the mango jasmine fruit tea which is one of their most popular drinks. The service was super quick and the drink was ready in minutes! The tea was a little too sweet for my liking but the mango and jasmine flavors were both very apparent! The prices are reasonable and there is tons of variety for everyone! We could definitely come back again to try out their brown sugar milk tea which was also on their very popular menu! Great quick spot for boba tea if you're in the area!

I don't come to the mall much any more, but when I do I always try to stop here. In my opinion, Ma Tea House is the most authentic bubble/boba tea you can get in the area (credentials: I've been to Taiwan!). The flavors are so strong and rich, they don't fill your cup up with 95% ice, and the tapioca is amazing. I've gotten a wide variety of drinks from here but my go to is the coffee milk tea with tapioca. Every other place I've been to that I've tried coffee milk tea at always falls short, I'm always comparing it to Ma's. I've also tried their Bao buns and liked them a lot! The people who work here are very sweet, I love interacting with them and I truly do believe they deserve the business. I know the Fox Valley Mall isn't what it used to be, and most of the anchor stores are closed, but I promise you this is a hidden gem tucked away in a vacant anchor store spot in the mall that's worth every penny.

Mango Passion is my go to, but their blended version was a bit different in taste than what I experience at other boba shops. Had more of a tart taste to it. The tapioca pearls were not all fully cooked, maybe was a last minute batch, IDK. We did get there slightly before closing. But, that was slightly disappointing. But, will give it another try not near closing and see if it can redeem itself from bad tapioca pearls.

The boba itself was good with a nice chewy texture, but the drink was pretty underwhelming overall. The cream on top wasn't very tasty, and the coffee flavor tasted a bit too artificial for my liking. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't anything memorable. Overall, it satisfied the craving for a drink, but I probably wouldn't order this one again.

We've brought traveling friends and family here, and it never misses. The portion sizes are fantastic--we highly recommend the Shrimp Spring Rolls and the Viet Taste Starter Platter, which is an amazing deal. For our main courses, we usually go with the V032 Pho Dac Biet (the broth is so comforting!) and the V070 Double 'B' Banh Mi. Occasionally, I'll opt for the V062 Marinated Pork Chop with Honey Sausage and Fried Eggs, which is always delicious. Located in Pacifica Square near the Fox Valley Mall, it's such a fun, cozy atmosphere. They usually play acoustic guitar covers of pop songs in the background, which adds a really nice touch to the experience. If you're looking for high-quality, consistent Vietnamese food, this is the place!

Everyone seems to most like the teas, but there's food. The prices are pretty good it seems. Came at lunch. It's a pretty cramped place. There's only a few tables. Bad for groups. It's about $6 for a tea. Has plenty of non dairy choices. The Oolong Milk Tea is made with coconut milk. Customers getting teas often get these to go. Only those also getting food seem to stay. Because we were hungry we stayed to eat. It's about $8 for the Faux Slider. This is a burger made with a veggie pad, and topped with cilantro, cucumbers, peanut crumble, pickles, and sriracha. A lot more food choices. There's appetizers like pot stickers, and there's rice bowls with choice of protein. Good teas and also food. It's located on Orchard Road in a plaza with a Panera Bread and close to other chain restaurants. There's some pretty good options for vegans and vegetarians.
