I'm so glad I discovered this cute boba shop in the neighborhood! There was a snow storm when we visited but that didn't stop us from celebrating Tulip's Tea Turning Two! The shop owner was so sweet, helpful and overall seemed very grateful for us stopping in. At the time of our visit, the business was offering a buy one, get one half price deal so it was the perfect time for us to try their drinks. I ordered the black sesame and ube boba and my bf had the caramel banana. Both drinks were so yummy and satisfied our sweet tooth carvings on a snowy day. I know this spot will hit once the weather warms up. Can't wait to come back and try their other flavors! read more

This was such an unexpectedly refreshing experience! As someone who has spent ten-plus years combined in customer-facing roles, I know firsthand how hard it is to remain positive and cheerful. The woman working behind the counter at Tulips Tea was a brilliant ray of sunshine. She was incredibly friendly, kind, welcoming, positive, and enthusiastic--the kind of customer service I don't recall having received in an obscenely long time. The tea was very good as well! I ordered a Caramel Thai Milk Tea, iced. It had present, delectable, Thai tea notes, as well as sweetness and richness from the caramel. It was also well balanced, without being an overload of milk or sugar. I got this one with boba, of course; which was high-quality too. Finally, the vibe inside is cute! It is a smaller space, so there isn't a tremendous amount of seating. Now, while the tea wasn't completely mind blowing, it was still excellent! Combined with the customer service, Tulip's Tea on Tuesday delivers not only on alliteration, but also a phenomenal experience. read more

Such a CUTE spot and the barista was so so sweet. I got a regular iced matcha latte but they had so many options, like ube matcha or strawberry. It's a smaller space but it does have some seating with a very charming and colorful vibe. 100% coming back to try their other matcha flavors. read more

Tulip's Tea on Tuesday is by far my favorite place to get bubble tea in the city!!! They have an extensive menu of teas and a lot of personalization options. The teas and ingredients within them are so high quality! You can tell they are made with care. They also have fun, seasonal options on the menu, so keep an eye out for those! Definitely check out some of the pastries and crafts available. I've been able to get a few knick-knack gifts for friends here. You can't go wrong with any sweet treat here! The owner and employees are so sweet! The decor is so cute within the shop. The shop sometimes hosts a variety of cute craft classes. I am so happy to support a local business where the owner and shop itself love the community and their customers. read more

A fantastic place for coffee, bubble tea, and more! The owner provides the best service I've ever had. She is incredibly outgoing, will literally run over to help hold the door open, and make sure you have what you need. More people need to know about this place. I've had a few different drinks but my favorites are the Iced Strawberry Hojicha Latte and the Iced Cinnamon Banana Caramel Latte. The inside is very cute, well kept, and am pretty sure they host little events. Not too many chairs, but enough for a small group if you want to stay for a bit. read more

This place officially has my heart. I came here off of a friend's recommendation and it is amazing. The owner is so nice and amazing and really embodies customer service to the max. I always get the strawberry matcha and the drink is very customizable. I appreciate that the drink is consistent and I know what to expect. This is a cute spot to chill and hang out for a bit with friends but note that the space is a bit small so it can get pretty crowded easily. Please stop by and definitely support local small businesses! read more

This tea shop is SO cute! The owner was the sweetest & so friendly. They package the drink in the cutest little carriers and the decor is lovely. I got the rose matcha and it's probably the best matcha I've had in the city. It was so fresh and perfectly sweetened without being too sweet. The signature milk tea and caramel thai iced tea were also incredible. I would go here all the time if I lived closer, I want to try all the drinks! read more

It was "sole-crushing" to watch. The staff noticed and it didn't look like they tried to "put their foot down" to get him to stop as he's a regular and buys I guess a cup of coffee or another drink. Honestly, his behavior is just "un-toe-ward" for a coffee shop. I love this place, but management really needs to take a firmer "stand" when patrons treat the furniture like their personal living room. Those feet. They stare at me. Wiggle at me. Wink at me. Toy with me. Distract me. I want to sit near the window but it's not possible with those feet exposed and waving their toes at me. I cannot bring friends here any longer. I'm mesmerized and anti-mesmerized by them at the same time. The toe knows. The toe knows all. Update: Surprise. I haven't seen him there recently. Maybe the staff have said something to him. I can hope.

The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

Jennivee's Bakery has the cutest decor, but best of all, the cakes are absolutely delicious! For my…read morefirst visit, I decided to go all in on the ube theme and tried the Purple Velvet Cake paired with an Ube Latte. The Purple Velvet Cake was scrumptious! It's made with ube chiffon cake, macapuno (coconut) filling, and ube mousse. As soon as I took a bite, the cake practically melted in my mouth, it was so light, soft, and delicious! The slice was also a generous portion and was plenty to share with my husband and toddler, who couldn't get enough of it. The Ube Latte was also really good and paired perfectly with the cake. They have such a great variety of treats, including cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and so much more. I especially love that they incorporate popular Filipino flavors like ube and pandan, and I even spotted a seasonal calamansi offering. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back for more! There's still so much to try at Jennivee's Bakery, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

What a joy it is to visit Tulips Tea on Tuesday. Such a wonderful local boba and smoothie shop! The owner is incredibly kind, generous, and genuinely one of the friendliest people you'll meet. She is always so polite and respectful, even greeting customers with a bow, which really shows how much she cares about people and their experience. As a local painter myself, I also have to say the color scheme and design she created for the shop are extraordinary. You can tell a lot of thought and creativity went into the space. it feels warm, welcoming, and beautifully put together. You can feel the positive energy the moment you walk in. She also absolutely loves dogs, which makes the place even more welcoming. It's rare to find a local business with this level of kindness and hospitality anymore. Couldn't ask for a friendlier neighborhood spot. Highly recommend supporting this place! read more

A delightful coffee and tea shop that I couldn't recommend enough. The drinks are fantastic, the owners are kind and thoughtful, the packaging and is cute and delightful, and while I wasn't expecting food, both the food and drinks are VERY TASTY. Stumbling into this tea shop truly made my day brighter. read more

Tulip Tea on Tuesday is my new go-to spot for bubble tea! The owner is incredibly sweet and always goes out of their way to make sure you have the best experience.

Amazing service both in drinks and pastries. Terrible weather, but even after we forgot our cookies inside she chased us down on the snowy sidewalk to make sure we got everything we paid for. The store was super cozy and we were extremely happy to get precisely what we needed after so much snow. read more

Hopefully when I stop in again they'll have the white rose iced tea. I love how this place offers unique flavors that other tea shops don't have. I really enjoyed what I got today. They are also informative and let you know what drinks have zero caffeine, high caffeine or low caffeine, I think that's so important and it was great to see that. I read the bad reviews and I highly disagree. I've been to a lot of tea spots and milk tea spots all over illinois, I wanted something other than the same old boring brown sugar boba or matcha and this place delivered everything I wanted because they incorporate unique flavors and the result is magical. If you appreciate unique flavors like I do, come here!

I took a sip. Yuck! I waited a few minutes, thinking, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, and tried another sip. Yuck! On my way out, I brought my drink back to the counter. It was still warm. I told the guy that the drink was terrible, that it tasted like warmed up Hersheys syrup. He took my drink and said, "Oh I'm sorry about that." I paused a second; he had nothing else to say. He didn't offer to make me a new drink. Didn't offer a pastry. Didn't offer a refund. I'm out $6 and I did not get to enjoy a treat. We're urged to support local, but experiences like this remind me why I like to go to the consistent chain that ALWAYS remakes my drink if there's a problem (which their rarely is), no questions asked. Totally disappointing. Would not go back because my drink was terrible and the customer service didn't exist.

I got the 16 oz. iced latte which only comes with two shots of coffee, but I asked for an extra shot to be put in. The latte was fine. The espresso flavor was definitely very strong, but nothing unique or experimental. This is pretty typical of Counter Culture beans since they tend to stick to mainstream preferences. Overall, chill spot. The coffee is reliable, and the interior is cozy.
