Some of my all time favorite boba! I've gotten variations of their brown sugar milk teas and it has hit every time! You order at a kiosk so minimal interactions with the actual workers, but they're very quick in getting orders out. This place has a very girly atmosphere, lots of pink and grills so if you're looking for a good photo this is a great place for it. Lots of comfy seating as well! read more

I am actually quite impressed! Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there were a handful of people inside. It's beautifully decorated and has a lot of comfy and spacious seating! I love that there's a big comfy couch, and the tables and counters are wide. The tables and chairs and whole space was very clean as well. There's a TV and they were playing Adventure Time. It was a relaxed and casual vibe! Ordering was easy on the screens to the left when you enter the space. There was one person working and they were very speedy with making the drink! I ordered the taro coconut milk tea with egg pudding, 75% sweet. It was perfect!! Not too sweet, and you can taste each flavor distinctly. The taro and coconut really came through and the egg pudding had a lovely texture. I thought it was cool that when you order this drink they include one topping with no extra charge, and you can pick any of the options! For $8 for this quality and size of drink I was happy. I can't say the same for some other boba spots that sometimes are too expensive. This spot was just right! read more

I'm not usually a boba person, but I had to get the coconut banana smoothie! I love anything banana flavor, and this definitely hit the spot! All the drinks come with 1 free topping so that's a huge perk. The service was good. The lady took our order and made the drinks SUPER QUICK. The ambiance has a very cute theme to it. It has a large amount of seating, and there's a nice floral theme going on. Would definitely come back here when I'm around the neighborhood! read more

I really enjoyed the inside decor (very instagrammable) and thought the tea was just okay. I liked that there was a touchpad to order so you could take your time deciding. I did end up using their bathroom and wish that was cleaner. read more

Nice selection of teas and it's quiet enough and cozy. The music is not loud thank you. Nice staff or owner. The coconut banana smoothie w lychee jelly was good it was just not real fruit bc we didn't taste any coconut flakes or banana particles ... maybe they were all part of the powder. The brown sugar boba was good and sweet enough. My favorite was the mango smoothie and I added lychee jelly. It was very refreshing, sweet with bursting mango flavor, and the best part is you can customize whether you add cream or not and the jelly and boba etc. The atmosphere is very nice with lowfi type music and the decor is pleasant and cute. Gender neutral bathrooms and just big enough to fit a wheelchair. Love the neighborhood as it's in the heart of all the fun food and clothing places. Great place for a first date. read more

The decoration was so pretty the cups are so cute and the flavor I chose... I never had anything like it before and I'm still craving it . I'm pretty sure it was a bit pricier than your usual boba tea place but babyyyyy it was worth it. I got the coconut banana smoothie? Or slush whatever it was it was so good omg I never had anything like it and I think I got regular tapioca balls read more

Not bad, the care is super cute if you go in person, and teas all get 1 free topping. However I still like gathers tea and Molly tea more due to their stronger tea leaves flavor, this place is good for fun drinks and if y like toppings! (And cute for a date) read more

I know there are a myriad of boba places around Wicker Park, but this is my new favorite. It just depends so it's shiny, new, clean, and has self check out kiosks for people like me who have social anxiety when ordering and like to look at pictures. The menu is pretty robust and have a lot of very dessert-like drinks that are very picturesque. I think the top reason I'll come here from now on though is the decor--everything from the plush seats to flowers on the ceiling is an Instagram-like set, perfect for photos. read more

Such a cute place to be with friends or just chill and read. The interior was so aesthetic and I loved the flower decorations. The pink and lights were balanced so it wasn't too pink or too bright. The server was very kind. She got my drink quickly (granted it was empty when I went to get boba) I got the Peach Lover fruit tea with crystal boba and regular sweetness. You should keep regular sweetness since this place isn't extremely sweet but just enough to hit that boba craving. However, the peach tea tasted slightly more orangey than peachy, so I was kind of disappointed, but it was still good. I'll probably try another drink from this place because i wanna try the other drinks! 8/10 read more

Called just to ask if I can place an order, I wanted to order it and pick it up so I don't wait while it's being made and I was going to pay when I got there. After they picked up the call there were seconds of silence before a male voice said a confused sounding hello, and after I replied saying I wanted to make an order he just hung up on me. At least explain you don't do orders ahead of time or something, don't just hang up on your customers. I went in person later and he was intently watching some Valorant human games competition on tv even while making my drink, and before I even grabbed my drink he moved further behind the counter and immediately was on his phone. read more
