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

Beyond the basic beverages at this Oswego cafe. Candy Cloud is a colorful place to hang out or get…read moresomething to go. It has plenty to sip on including coffee and lemonade. Also a few things to eat. The prices are too high but great stuff. A lot of menu items available. It's got a couple of order screens where customers place their own orders. There's a crap ton to choose from so the line can be a long wait. Beverages are the main things to get. It's about $5 to get most of the coffees, which are cold or hot. We saw a lot of interesting ones. I got the Matcha Latte. Pretty typical but there was the right amount of sweetness. Has some food. Mostly basic stuff. It's about $2 to get a hash brown. Yes that is not even a couple of hash browns, but they taste pretty good though. It's about $5 to get a few pretzel bites. The beverages are obviously better than the food in terms of price and quality. For sure it's got lots to choose from. It's in front of the one strip mall with Target and some other stores. There's a pretty limited amount of space and only a few tables.

Hopefully they will cancel their contract with them, as I had a $45 order, 90 minutes after ordering and getting longer and longer delivery times, DoorDash canceled the order. I called and was told they could only refund $11 of processing and tip fees. When I called Candy Cloud to get the other $34 refunded, I first found out that DoorDash did, in fact, pick up our order, before canceling it w/o refunding me. I had gotten the manager of the Oswego IL location, and she was phenomenal!.... offered to remake the whole order and have one of her staff deliver it to us. Considering that this offer only costs them money, for a mistake (or theft) that DoorDash made, it only reiterated what I already knew: DoorDash is HORRIBLE; Candy Cloud is AWESOME!!!!! Love them so much!!!

They also sell more items than frozen yogurt however, I didn't get much of a chance to look into the other options on the menu. How you pay in regards to the frozen yogurt is dependent on the weight of your cup. I believe they measure by ounces, so my cup was about 11 oz and I paid $7.74. I got the cookies & cream flavored yogurt, I added butterfinger pieces, granola, and shaved coconut. I also added a wafer in there as well. It was delicious! I don't usually eat frozen yogurt, so I was pleasantly surprised! Because it was my first time here the staff was exceptionally nice. They explained how everything worked and was beyond patient with me. If you ever in need for some frozen yogurt, stop by here! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

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.
