Sadly, the teas were not satisfactory. I ordered the original milk tea - I always order this at…read moreboba places I haven't been to before as the barometer of quality. There wasn't very good tea flavor. It almost tasted like a powdered milk tea mix. I was also excited that they sold items from Kokoroya Bakery. This bakery had been on my list to try. I was there on the 25th and one of the items I got (matcha red bean bun) had a best by date of the 23rd. I guess I wouldn't expect a past best by item to be sold. It definitely tasted stale, along with the cookies I got.

Don't miss this little boba and snack shop tucked town an alley in downtown Wheaton…read more We went to try the Japanese cheesecake and Basque cheesecake; the Japanese cheesecake was already sold out for the day, but we got the Basque as well as a mochi cat paw waffle (like a taiyaki, but shaped like a cat paw rather than a fish). The cheesecake was delicious: dense and not overly sweet. The waffle was also good, just slightly chewy with a green pandan custard filling. The staff were very friendly and told us all about the different drinks on the menu, but we just went with water because I had already had my allotment of caffeine for the day. Cute decor including paintings from local artists for purchase and giant bubble teas! It was a bit warm inside but there's also outdoor seating if you would prefer that. We will definitely return to try the Japanese cheesecake!

I was in the downtown Lombard area yesterday with my mom for Mother's Day and we were looking for a…read morespot to get something to drink in the warm weather. We stumbled across TruLē and decided to check it out since we both love Boba/tea. The inside was small, but super cute. They have two self ordering kiosks when you walk in & you can also order at the counter. It was very clean and bright inside as well. I asked for a custom version of one of their existing teas and they were gladly able to make it for me! I asked for a mango peach green tea. My mom got a mango strawberry smoothie and we were both super satisfied with your drinks. Their green tea brew is some of the best I've had, it was light but had a great floral taste to it as well. The next time I'm in Lombard I'm sure stopping at TruLē will be one of the stops from now on.

The inside still looks gorgeous and clean and the people making the teas were pleasant and prompt serving me . I had to get two and will try the others next time .

It amazes me how many good options are available in this area to get a good bubble tea and boba…read moreking is one of the smaller, but more trendy looking options with ordering kiosks, fun colorful machines with lots of lights, and very appropriate decor on the walls. Service is pretty quick after you order and prices are pretty fair. The flavor options here are a bit on the interesting side as you can get everything from a more Western style oreo smoothie to a Hong Kong favorite like the red bean smoothie. But you can also pivot over to Thai Tea or Japanese Matcha Latte. They do offer the very classic brown sugar milk tea but also offer some fun variations such as mochi and yakult. Or if you are feeling hungry you can get a bubble waffle or some ice cream. Overall, fun spot to satisfy a sweet tooth a wide variety of options to choose from and lots of fun opportunities to take some pictures.

Small boba shop located in a busy plaza, but it's easy to find since the front is closest to the…read morestreet. Shop is small, but the decor is bright and fun. You'll find some vending machines you can get some toys out of. There's a special cotton candy machine as well. Service is friendly and pretty fast. You can adjust the sweetness (sugar) level on the drinks, which I recommend because you wouldn't believe how much sugar you're sipping! Drinks still taste good at 30%. I got the Pu'er milk tea with milk mochi last time and that's not a drink you see too often at boba shops. All in all, add this one to your list of boba shops to check out, if you're in the area!

But I am very upset that they got rid of the watermelon flavor. I REALLY would like that one back. Ambiance is okay. The cashiers don't listen and never spell my name correctly, despite me spelling it out and it being 4 letters. Pretty annoying.
