“My family loves this place. The staff is very friendly. The food is spectacular and the smoothies are spot on. The have a Vietnamese iced coffee is SO YUMMY! It's linked to a bowling alley, but this should have it's own stand alone location. I fear the location maybe "hiding" this gem. From the outside, you would not expect to get the kind of food quality and gourmet flavors this place is serving up. If you like burgers, this place should be on your Bucket List.Kid-friendliness: My kids have always been treated well. No side eyes. The place does not have a kids menu, but if needed, you can always split the burger. They are huge. And the fries can be shared because they have huge portions.“
“One of my favorite places in NW suburbs! ♥️Love everything about this coffee shop — the welcoming atmosphere, their smiling faces, tasty beverages & pastries ?If you live nearby, you have you stop by!If don’t — you miss a lot!“
“I love supporting local businesses, and being a local to DP it was a must. We visit here on a weekly basis and have tried all the flavors. Oreo being my sons favorite, and the tropicals mine for sure ?Sometimes there is a gentleman that works with the owner is a heavy cigarette ? smoker “ smelled like Joe ? “Didn’t care much for the smell on him , but super friendly.“
“I tried Strawberry Banana Smoothie with boba here. The Smoothie was so nice and fresh. My friend ordered regular milk tea and that was good as well.Tapioca is right at the average (KF tea got the best Tapiocas..) but as we don't have KF tea in Wheeling, I believe Kopa tea can be my go to.Dogs are allowed here - confirmed that with the store - and she even offered a pup's cup for my dog. The owner of this store is very kind and nice.Highly recommended local boba tea shop!“
“Excellent drinks, food, and service. I love that they will put the drinks in a personal cup to cut down on waste. Good prices too! Today I noticed that the menu now includes breakfast and lunch sandwiches, very exciting! I tried the egg and cheese sandwich and it was deliciousParking: Usually the 15-60 min spots right by the shop/train station are available, or there's street parking by Dotombori or Sugar Bowl“
“I am Zach Mostow and I am draw and bubble's obsessed! They have amazing staff, food, drinks, and the place puts you in a great mood. It’s a magical experience with nice lights, music, scenery and is the perfect place for breakfast or whenever you want a snack or drink.“
“I’ve come here SO many times & thought it deserved a review. The quality of all ingredients is top tier compared to some of their competitors. They give big portions, so you don’t have to worry about not getting enough for your money. They are SO FAST at getting your order ready. And some of the kindest people to interact with. 11/10, don’t overthink it, just order here!“
“The proprietress is very kind, and all the guests remember it clearly. Pork ribs rice, small intestines wrapped in large intestines, crispy salted chicken, pearl milk, etc. are all nostalgic Taiwanese delicacies. I highly recommend everyone to take a trip to reminisce about the taste of hometown!“
“Always looking for new or different boba places to try! The place is so cute! Clean and bright! Service was great and the staff were friendly! They have waffles as an only option for food. Next time I come I will get that! Definitely will come back. The drinks we got were all yummy & refreshing!“
“Buns on Fire is a modernized burger diner that has a sense of style over its shoulders coupled with juicy burgers and tasty boba offerings. The menu contains a small and classic assortment of entrees followed by some choice boba offerings as well.Though the portions to price leave a little to be desired, you can compare this restaurant pretty favorably to Twisted Burger over in Vernon Hills. I had their horchata with some lychee boba which was perfectly ratioed. Their hot chick upon arrival was squirting in flavor each time I bit into it. The best part of biting into that burger was that none of the ingredients fell out, which tends to happen to some burgers the minute you take the first bite out of them.Their gyro and chicken bowl with basmati is an eye opener too. I think they might have pushed the sodium on this one but it was pretty tasty with the sauce. The paneer and gyro bowl is a very welcoming choice. There's a little salsa in the corner which is an interesting addition.Overall, Buns on Fire seems like a really chill place to hang out.“
“I’m telling you guys, this store waffle are so satisfying. The taste, the texture, the crunchy. Take this from a guy who doesn’t eat waffles. I was blown away. To the point I have to write a review cause whoever is coming to try must must try there waffle. I had the salted caramel and butter and dayummmm. SPIRIT LIFTED 5/5Parking: Right in front, 5 to 10 parking spots“
“Wow, just wow! If one can describe the perfect store, it’d be Mochinut!! As soon as you walk in, you’re blessed with the angelic music of K-Pop which then is followed by the beautiful display of deliciously voluptuous, mouth-watering, and enamoring mochi donuts. The customer service was especially wonderful as I got help from a very friendly server named Christian. I would suggest anyone in the area to check this location out! I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mochinut Niles to be a Michelin starred restaurant in the future!!“
“A small Japanese place mainly for takeout. The ramen is pretty good, just not as flavorful as I expected. But it’s still good and definitely more affordable than other places I’ve tried. The onigiri was very good and I think it’s a cool idea to rotate through the selections each day. The boba is also pretty decent. I haven’t tried other items but I will be ordering more especially since they are near where I live. The online takeout ordering process is very easy and the staff are very friendly. Perfect local spot for when I’m craving Japanese food.“
“Releaf is inside Mitsuwa's food court area. They make the best matcha lattes ever. I ordered the matcha latte soy boba and I will have to say it was the best boba/matcha latte I have ever had!I am honestly very particular about getting an authentic strong matcha latte and they hit the spot plus perfect little tapioca pearls. I literally crave this all the time so I can't wait for the next time I can go. Highly recommend trying them! :)“
“Adorable boba café located a few seconds west of Old Orchard Mall boasts an extensive array of familiar flavors for bubble tea lovers.Fruit tea, milk tea, smoothies, coffee and boba options; TeaRex has it! Been wanting to try this place for a few months now but the last couple of visits to the mall, ended up having to buy my kids bubble tea at the mall instead.But finally this past mid September, told my wife we're hittin' this place first before going to the mall. Great bubble tea at still fair prices and my older son loved the decor inside & out.I could definitely stop in for more boba greatness the next time in the area. I wish a prosperous & successful future for the owner(s).“
“Love this cute little spot. It’s located in a plaza next to Tous le Jours. We were looking for Pho on a cold day, and this place definitely hit the spot. It’s super cozy and everything we tried was delicious. We had the ox tail pho, egg rolls, and pork bao. The short rib was also delicious ?“
“Incredible customer service! Christine + Anthony were working today and gave me the full red carpet treatment (first time ever eating Mochinuts!). Mochnuts are an incredible novelty we just discovered! (Imagine a chewy donut). Highly recommend pairing food with the refreshers!! So as long as I'm in the area I'm probably going to be a weekly or bi-weekly return customer.“
“First time ordering from here. Cute little place. Employees were nice and greeted me when I walked in. I ordered the salmon obsession w/o the mandarin orange. I didn't realize that the sauce it comes with is a mayo based sauce. I'm not a big fan of mayo at all so that the me off right away. After removing the sauce from my food, I was able to eat it. the bowl was good but needed a little kick.“
“Was in the area and had to make a stop back to Mochinut. The flavors this week looked really good. I love the texture and chewiness of these donuts. They are light and not overly sweet. We enjoyed the original glazed and churro at the store. My sister was expecting the glazed to be a sugar rush. But to her surprise it wasn't too sweet, but perfect! She had her first mochiball and loved the strawberry filling. Great little after noon treat to enjoy with hot tea on this frigid cold weekend!“
“this is actually the best boba place ever. from the fruit freeze to the to the protein freeze, they fr don’t miss on bro. and don’t even get me started on the customer service. the mfs working here get active!! they have my order ready within 10 seconds at times and they’re so nice fr. the employees are my bruddas fr i consider them family.“
“The food is very good. Not too expensive compared to other Filipino places. The lady at the front is friendly but the old grouch in the back needs to learn to acknowledge people when you say hi otherwise poor customer service will lead to customers to never come back !“
“It was a pretty decent dessert shop. Overall a 4.5. Great customer service. If you check in on Yelp, you get $1 off any size froyo bowl. Wide selection of drinks and froyo flavors. I got the strawberry mango real fruit drink with tapioca balls. 5/5. For the froyo I got a medium size with ube, lychee, and sea salt caramel pretzel. Ube flavor wasn’t very strong. Lychee was very refreshing. Sea salt caramel pretzel was very good. You can choose as many toppings as you want, as long as they can fit. I kept it simple with fresh strawberries, fresh cherries, and pomegranate boba.There is seating but be warned, kind of limited depending on how long loitering families will stay. When we got there, there were a couple Indian families hogging two tables. They were already finished eating/drinking when we arrived. They were still there after we ate. They were probably there for a couple hours. Parking lot is also very tight and small. Difficult for cars entering/exiting. No restrooms.“
“I have always loved liquid fusion and normally go to the northbrook location but stopped by here while at the dmv. The staff was nice and fast. The boba smoothies were good as always. I got the strawberry honeydew with tapioca and strawberry dream with tapioca per usual and they were both good. Haven't been to a liquid fusion in a while but prices have gone up a ton. A regular was like $6 with tax. This is a bit pricier than other places but worth it for the specialty flavors like the strawberry dream and melonah. Liquid fusion will always have a special place in my heart and worth a visit if you haven't tried it but def not a cheap spot anymore :''((“
