My favorite is a custom pineapple mango smoothie with lychee jelly. Comfortable counter, table, or couch seating available in this small storefront space to simply hang out with free wifi, but I noticed most patrons took their drinks to go. Overall, great execution and introduction to these Asian style drinks to the neighborhood.

I decided to get the Forever boba tea. The drink was pretty good. Not too sweet and not filled with tons of ice. 16 oz is about $5 and 24 oz was about $6.

I ordered the mango mochi with whipped cream to go. They served me my drink without a lid? I was so confused and asked for a lid. I genuinely believed that they probably forgot that my drink was ordered "to go"... However, the worker passive aggressively told me that if I wanted her to put a lid on it, then she would have to "scoop ALL" of the whipped cream off... I'm not sure how she expected me to travel with my drink without a lid when I ordered it to go... I had to ask her if I could get a lid anyway... I guess they don't have dome lids? Lol Anyway... The drink was delicious. The only critique I have is that I wish they blended their ice better. There were random large clumps of ice throughout the drink. I really enjoyed the drink but my encounter was a little off-putting.

As someone who moved to Chicago from the Bay Area CA, this place is by far the BEST I've had in…read moreChicago/Chicagoland yet. We arrived on a Saturday around 7:30 and they started getting packed and had a wait by 8. They are cash only but if you forget they have an atm inside as well! Prices are so shocking! Each bowl was about $14 which is the cheapest I've seen a bowl of pho in a looooong time. Food comes out pretty quickly. We order the appetizer fried shrimp Rangoon, bun Bo hue, pho dac biet, and avocado smoothie w/boba. The base of soup for both dishes was AMAZING! Good depth of flavor and not lacking anything. The bun Bo hue had a ton of meat and they even have the pork blood cubes! Pho dac biet was lacking a quantity of meat but good variety. The only complaint I have is the Avocado smoothie was very bland and didn't have much avocado taste. The boba tasted old because it didn't have its chewy texture anymore. Will DEFINITELY be coming back for the food!!!

I am from California traveling to Chicago…read more I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The bun bo hue was flavorful, and the rice with pork chop exceeded my expectations. Best of all, the prices are very affordable compared to other places I've tried. The goi cuon is only $5.50 for two rolls, while other restaurants charge around $7.50. I highly recommend this spot. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash, although there's an ATM inside.

Straw & Bubbles Tea Bar is for sure my daughter's go to when she has a taste for boba/bubble tea or…read moreramen. She has been there with friends as well as myself multiple times. (I wish they had a loyalty program or punch card of sorts for her because of her affinity to the store!) Last night, she had a taste for bubble tea so we took her after dinner and we had some pleasant surprises in our drink choices! My boyfriend got the Cookies and Cream milkshake with oat milk ('cause dairy) and it was thick, delicious, and had a strong ratio of milk to cookie in it. Last time my parents took my daughter, I tried a Coconut Purple Berry tea and added tapioca. It is tea, coconut milk, and like, chunks of guava--delicious. I can tell you my daughter's go to is a Taro Milkshake which is milk and taro blended--very delicious! The presentation is appealing--it looks like white clouds in a purple sky. Other drinks I have tried include their galaxy lemon tea, a sort of ocean lemonade (?), etc. My daughter also lives for their croffles--I know she has had matcha, tiramisu, plain, etc. Last night's choice was matcha and there was not a crumb left in the box. Ordering is easy on the kiosk, and the staff is quiet, but friendly. I have been there with different sized groups at different times of day, and the food, drinks, and service are always consistent. Sometimes it's packed, sometimes it's not. Driving back home, I wanted to yell at all the youths in that green siren logoed coffee shop to drink something better across the parking lot, but I did not. I hope Straw & Bubbles continues to find Mount Prospect to be a good home!
