    Strawberry Milk Tea
    Melanie B.

    I never thought I liked matcha drinks until my daughter had me take a sip of her strawberry matcha from Bella Boba. Now I want one every week. It's so good. Especially with strawberry popping boba. It's a really cute shop and popular on social media. it's obvious that they take pride in that fact. But they should. There are great backdrops to take pics of your drinks, and before you shake them up, the drinks are really pretty. And of course they taste really good. My single only complaint, in the handful of times I've been here, is that they gave me a regular straw with my drink that had boba in it. The straw was too small to suck the boba up, so it all collected at the bottom of my cup with the ice. Had I been in the shop, I'd have just asked for a different one, but I was driving when I realized it. So no popping boba for me. Sad face

    Roasted oolong

    Naperville has GOOD BOBA??? I grew up with just Joy Yees and later Ma Tea House. The Gongcha in Hmart sucks, and the Vivi by Park to Shop isn't great either. (Edit: oops, I guess the Vivi closed. The Sharetea isn't good either) This is the first good boba store I've had in town. Wowee! The roasted oolong had a really nice and strong tea flavor. The tea to milk balance was great. Boba was chewy and fresh. Half sweetness was perfect. The store is also clean and super cozy. I'll definitely be back!

    This place has become our go to boba place in the suburbs. The ambience is really cute with comfortable seating. They also have game boards. We ordered mango milk tea boba with lychee jelly the first time we went. The staffs prepared it real quick and were courteous. The drink was perfect. The second time we ordered their taro milk tea with boba pearls which has become our most favourite drink. It's exceptionally good and a must try when you visit bella boba.

    If you like a good drink no matter what you are feeling ( coffee, tea, juice, boba ) and you are in Naperville then I HIGHLY recommend Bella Boba. Service is excellent and quick. My first time there, the young man taking my order was very helpful because I couldn't decide ! The drinks are always delicious and the vibe is great. Good decor with good space that you can chill, do work or hang out with friends.

    Bella Boba might just be my new favorite boba spot in the Naperville suburbs -- especially for their Mango Passion Fruit Tea, which blew me away. The use of fresh fruit purée (instead of the artificial syrups you'll find at some downtown spots) really makes a difference. It tastes vibrant, refreshing, and honestly feels better for you. The decor is what you'd expect from a modern boba shop -- clean, casual, and Instagram-friendly -- but what stood out was the outdoor seating and plenty of parking (a win for the burbs!). Only thing to note: their loyalty point system requires a higher spend before you earn a free drink, so keep that in mind. But honestly, with teas this good and tapioca pearls that are consistently soft, chewy, and flavorful, I'll keep coming back regardless. Great, friendly service. Highly recommend!

    Strawberry Matcha
    Fabiola R.

    Stopped by for sweet pick me up and was welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed a delicious matcha drink. The location shares a large parking lot with other businesses and the business itself is simple, clean, and nicely decorated. Since this was my first time, I asked a staff member for a recommendation and went with the strawberry matcha which was delicious! They have a variety of milk teas and refreshers.

    Bella boba is a super cute shop with a nicely decorated interior. I came around noon on a weekend and there were two workers there. My impression is that this place is more focused on milk based drinks rather than tea drinks or fruit teas based on the way the menu was structured (not being able to choose tea type!). I came in a group of two others. It was not busy in the store and the workers started on our drinks immediately. We ordered the coconut cloud matcha, the strawberry matcha, and a regular matcha. I would say that the matcha here has great taste, but it would be perfect if there was just a little bit more in the drink! We all agreed that we liked our drinks, but the only thing was that it tasted a little watered down to our liking. I see that the store has seasonal drinks, and I'm definitely interested to try them! Overall, I would say the matcha is good -- probably the best in the area despite what i said above. I'll definitely be back to try other drinks.

    March drink - Thai green tea with Irish cream cold foam and boba
    Athena R.

    I've been to Bella Boba a few times and always get their roasted oolong milk tea. Their roasted oolong milk tea has a strong flavor of oolong tea and the boba has a nice chewy texture. I recently went there to try their March drink, a Thai green tea with Irish cream cold foam. The Thai green tea had a subtle flavor of pandan which is good because pandan has a strong floral taste if used to much. The ambiance is chill and cozy. The bubble tea shop also provides some board games, which makes it a nice place to hangout with friends. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Herbal Jelly
    Tim F.

    As bubble tea places go, Bella Boba is a solid option around the Naperville area. The first time I was there, I had come from watching a friend's pickleball tournament and had a friendly conversation with one of the baristas about their drinks and a bit about the place (not sure if it was the owner or not). In my most recent visit, I was very happy to rediscover that they are one of the few places that offer herbal/grass jelly as a topping! They also were offering an interesting summer drink called pomegranate lemonade (which I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of). I opted to try that and also ordered a roasted oolong milk tea with grass jelly for my wife. I appreciate that they also allowed the customizable sugar level options (which most bubble tea places have these days, but there are some that don't!). I ultimately much preferred the milk tea over the refresher, but I'm generally not a big fan of refresher type drinks anyways. Surprisingly the 50% sugar on the refresher actually made it much less sweet than I thought, maybe almost not sweet enough (YMMV). Based on my first experience with Bella Boba, they're willing to help you adjust your drink to match your preferences. I just opted not to do that since I was on a time crunch that day. The roasted oolong milk tea was great though and exactly what my wife wanted. Interior decor is nice and there's a small wall section meant for snapping an instagram photo with a boba sign and some aesthetically pleasing decorations. It's also great that they have an instagram presence @bellabobanaperville where you can find out about any promotions or new drinks they have.

    Went there to get some boba and ended up getting the chai with brown sugar crystal boba! It was delicious. They have so many options and the inside is really cute with so much seating! They also have a lot of board games and a cute photo wall.

    I actually really enjoyed this new boba spot. Space is clean and new. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Nice lounge and seating areas with a variety of different games to hang out and pass the time. I opted for a brown sugar milk tea and honesty it came out perfect. Half sweet as requested, less ice, and boba chewiness and consistent was spot on. Menu is somewhat limited, but with less items on menu allows for focus on quality and execution. Anyways, I see many future visits here as we're frequently in the area. 'Til next time, cheers!

    Hot brown sugar milk tea
    Daniel Y.

    I'm not a boba stan, but when service shines like it did for my friends and me when I visited, you got my attention. Located in the same plaza right next to that cookie franchise, Bella Boba has a cozy interior with some various size tables and chairs including a comfy sofa! There are some games and there's just a chill vibe here. I ordered a hot brown sugar milk tea, and was told it would take seven minutes since it's made fresh. The brown sugar flavor was spot on, but it was too sweet for my tastes. One of the employees came by to check on my friends and me, which was surprising since all of these boba places never ask or seem to care. He pressed and offered to dilute my drink with additional tea which I accepted. He suggested I can customize the sugar level on my drink next time, and I def will. It's so nice to get service like this, and I'll be back!

    Strawberry Matcha

    7 Brew Coffee is officially our go-to weekend stop (my daughter and I are obsessed)…read more I always grab my Brunette coffee (sugar-free, of course ), and my daughter is locked in on her strawberry banana -- she loves it every single time. It's one of those little routines that just hits. And don't let the line scare you. It looks long and intimidating, but it moves SO fast that you barely even notice you're waiting ... if that makes sense. The energy is always great, service is quick, and drinks are consistently on point. Definitely a staple in our weekend rotation

    I have been driving past 7 Brew for like a year and a half and today was the first time I didn't…read moresee a ridiculous line of cars spilling out of the parking lot and snarling up the intersection. So I decided to take advantage and see what all the fuss is about and pulled a quick u-turn. There were still about 8 cars in the lanes but they had plenty of staff on hand to keep the line moving quickly and I was actually able to get my order and drink in less than 5 mins. A little more time to check out the QR code menu would have been nice considering it was my first time but luckily one of the featured drinks was the Toasted Marshmallow latte and that sounded good to me so I went an iced one of those. Although the staff were very really friendly and it was a nice ordering experience the drink was just very underwhelming. I had heard that 7 Brew's drinks tended to be on the sweet side so I was expecting it to be heavy on the syrup but the toasted marshmallow flavor ended up being very faint. The latte just tasted more like sweetened milk actually. I couldn't really discern much of a coffee flavor even. I wonder if the medium iced option at 24oz just has more likelihood of being not as strong. As I was waiting for my drink the breve section did catch my eye. I might stop by again and get a small one of those to give the place another chance but at least I know for now that I haven't been missing out on too much.

The star of the show, however, was the sample of lentil soup he gave me. As I was paying for my bill, I said to Ashraf, the owner: "I'll be back next week to buy some beans from you. And if I like your soup, I'll buy that too. Trust me." "I do trust you," Ashraf said. "And I trust my soup. You'll be back" He was right. I tried the soup that afternoon. It's delightful, flavorful, and made with love. I went back two days later, and bought my coffee beans, and a quart of lentil soup. This is my new favorite place.
