“4.5/5, rounded to 5/5
Is boba just better outside of Chicago? These boba places seem to indicate it's a possibility. I loved the tea flavor, the fact that it was not overly sweet. I especially loved the brown sugar tea latte, and I only tried a few sips. The tapioca was only okay, but the rest of the drink was very solid. Highly recommend!” —Peter S.

“Fun little hangout in downtown Evanston, I ordered an egg waffle original and matcha. Crunchy, chewy center and enough flavor to snack on it's own. Especially the matcha flavor. I also tried the black sugar tea boba and I was delighted that it was customizable, I asked for less sugar and it was perfect for me.  The lunch bentos look great, I will have to go again for more of the menu. I only wish parking was easier around there, and they didn't have my favorite coffee boba, but the black sugar tea was very nice.” —Brianna P.

“This place so far is my favorite bubble tea spot in the North Shore. Everything is so customizable to fit your preferences! The milk is real milk and not powder. You can pick what type of milk you want to add and the sweetness of the drink. There are so many flavor options. Fantastic!” —Mina P.
