    Coconut dragon fruit boba
    Ed D.

    The decor here is really nice and comfortable for a boba place...lots of very comfy seating. The selection of boba is unique and good. I got the coconut dragon fruit and the boba tasted so fresh. The service was good. The cashier was nice to give suggestions. We sat and just talked and enjoyed our boba.

    This place is so good! We had jasmine and brown sugar milk drink - both are excellent. Staff made great recommendations. Nice vibe too!

    Cute little spot! There was a wait at the sushi spot next door so we stopped in for drinks. Great customer service. Drinks came out quickly. Big variety of drinks from Boba to tea to coffee. I would recommend! It did get a little noisy in there.

    Came here while we were waiting for our buzzer to go off for the sushi place next door. It seems like a very "hip" place. It was extremely busy for a small place. Luckily, we were able to find a seat. There were several people who had to stand and drink/eat. The place has a dim, modern, but calm feel to it. The tea was really good. Mine didn't come with the balls in it, but the flavor was really good. The sizes are large, too. The staff was friendly and working diligently to keep up with the orders. I'd come back again if we're in the area and are grabbing sushi again.

    I've been back to this cozy boba shop multiple times since discovering it a few months ago. Staff is always friendly and willing to advise/help with menu options. Drinks are fully customizable & always ready within a couple minutes even on a busy day. Our drinks have always been consistent, very well crafted and not overly sweet (sweetness level is customizable in every drink too). Our favorites so far have been the coconut matcha (so good!!!) and oolong tea w/ cheese foam. Although, I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu here. I always leave Vannie's House looking forward to being back again!

    If you had told me 20-some years ago when I had my first bubble tea in Austin, Texas that there would one day be a bubble tea shop on practically every corner, I'm not sure I would have believed you! But that day has arrived, and we are seriously spoiled for choice for bubble tea in the Naperville/Aurora area. Vannie's has been here for a bit but I hadn't had a chance to try it out until now. Every shop's offerings are a bit different and they have a variety including fruit teas, milk teas, cheese foams, etc. I tried a "lava" drink, which I had never had before: Specifically, the Brown Sugar Butterfly Pea Iced Lava Milk. I had only ever seen the butterfly pea flower used in tisanes or to color lemonade a bright sky blue; combined with the milk, it made me think of bantha milk from "Star Wars"! The bottom of the glass was a delicious sludge of the brown sugar "lava" -- and yes, it is hot (or at least warm); combined with the iced drink it's an interesting combination. A small drink was over $6, which seemed a bit pricey compared to other places in the area. The setting is dim, cozy and plant-filled, with a large neon sign proclaiming "You are BeauTEAful" on one wall. This parking lot is a bit zany on weekends, so be cautious!

    After a long couple of hours at the mall I was feeling pretty drained and stopped by Vannie's for my usual Brown Sugar iced coffee with boba. I was surprised at how chill it was given the usually bustling atmosphere but then realized it was closer to the end of the day. This spot has kind of spoiled me when it comes to boba because their iced coffee options are the best I've tasted. I appreciate that the drink is consistently tasty with perfectly chewy boba every time I go. I've sampled a taste from the drinks of friends and family and those have been well made too. Staff is always friendly and willing to give suggestions and the service is usually quick so don't be too off-put if you arrive and there is a long line.

    To start off, this boba spot has the best atmosphere! So calm and warm, I love how welcoming it is! You can easily cozy up here and really enjoy your drinks. I ordered 2 Brown Sugar Milk Teas for $13! The price was so affordable for amazing quality and delicious boba! Also, the service was very lovely and polite. Certainly will be pinning and revisiting sometime soon!

    I love this place this is for boba fans and they have stamp card!
    Michael N.

    The drink is amazing and the service was not bad it was a little quick which was awesome and it is relaxing inside!

    Allison K.

    Absolutely loved this Boba shop! Interior was beautiful, the boba was probably one of the best I've had in a while, and the drink overall was amazing! Sode note: I definitely recommend mixing the drinks well to make sure the sweetness js evenly distributed. Will be coming back!

    Salted Cheese Tea Vanilla
    Lauren K.

    Amazing boba tea spot! Vannie's hands out punch cards for free drinks once you've come back a certain number of times. I personally enjoy the Salted Cheese Tea Vanilla W/ Tapioca, as well as the Pina Colada Slushee W/ Lychee Jelly. Ladies working at the order counter have always been extremely kind and helpful! The interior is also very cute- There is a photo opp towards the back wall.

    Dragonfruit lychee
    Stephanie W.

    Vannie's House is my favorite milk tea place around! The pink color from the dragonfruit lychee drink was pretty and it tasted great too. The customer service is always top notch and the interior is perfect for a photo op or a cute place to meet up with friends!

    Gina S.

    I had my first visit today. It wasn't necessarily my favorite Boba tea I've ever had but that might just be because of my personal choices and not really knowing what I'm doing! I also didn't know I was supposed to shake it up and I will do so next time. The place had a good ambience, it was clean, and there was a really wide and interesting selection. I will definitely be back!

    Hello Yelp Friends. Is there a Tea place similar to Vannie's here in Chicago? I need some recommendations.

    Hello! I am wondering for your milk teas, what kind of milk do you use?

    Hi Katie! Thank you for reaching out. We use either whole milk or non dairy creamer for our milk teas! Please feel free us know if you have any questions while at the store!

    Given COVID restrictions, are you able to sit inside as of June 2021?

    Hello Aileen! Thank you for your question. As of right now our dine in is still closed until further notice. We will have official announcements on reopening dine in hopefully in the very near future! In the mean time we hope to see you soon!

    Are they allowing dine in, if I wanted to spend a few hours studying here?

    Hello there! Our dining in is open Mon- Thu with a 1 hour limit duration per table!

    Do they have dairy free options/substitutes?

    I know they have almond milk

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 got our fill of freshly cooked Taiwanese food before stocking up on your Asian groceries, walking off a full belly at Park to Shop (Aurora). My husband ordered the pork belly bento box meal that comes with a drink of choice. We got the passionfruit tea qq and by we it's really just me; a fruit tea all to myself :) I ordered the curry beef brisket bento. This option was not available for a "meal" that comes with a drink in the price. All bentos came with a soy braised egg (the yolk was jammy and perfect) and some pickled yellow daikon. The food was freshly prepared to order. When you walk in, there's actually several options to order. You can 1) order at the kiosk by the cashier 2) place your order with the friendly woman behind the desk or 3) sit down at a table and order using the QR code at each table. The space was modern and clean, with a few tables near the front entrance that would fit a party of 4, but mostly tables and chairs along the side wall that would fit 2. Seating is similar to what you'd see at a standard cafe (like one that serves espresso/coffee drinks) so it might not be the best place if you have a large party and want to sit together. There was a friendly men and woman who were cooking in the kitchen and taking/servers orders, respectively. It was definitely a mom and pop vibe, which I love and am happy to support their business. Taiwanese noodle soup is on their menu but it's "coming soon." Once their noodle soup is being served, we will definitely be back to try it. It would be perfect during the colder months. Five stars!

It was hard to finish the bowl, although the portion size was generous. It probably didn't help that we were seated next to the kitchen, and the doors would swing open every few minutes and smells of dish soap would waft through. I usually love Pho Noodle Station, especially the location in Champaign, but this was a disappointing experience. Not sure if the stores are related, but I wish the quality was as good as that location.

My order usually is 1) eat something delicious in the food court or right around Pacifica Square, then 2) walk off the food by grocery shopping. Be sure to peruse the sauce aisle!
