Had a craving for Milk Tea & this was the closest during my drive up north. I got a Lavender Milk…read moreTea & it was competitively priced at $5.60 plus something like 75 cents for boboa/tapioca pearls. Delicious, not too sweet. The highlight was my choice of the add on Cherry Boboa/Tapioca Pearls. Fun to chew. I liked the flavor. Great service, the lady was very helpful with suggestions. Note that there are 2 Bubblicious inside the mall. I had used Google to look for Bubble Tea and it brought me to the correct parking location without a walk. It's next to the Victoria Secret store. Ambiance wise, I'll say I don't like Gurnee Mills. It's a pretty rough crowd though it's just judging by appearances/vibe which always isn't accurate. There's significant police presence both inside & outside the mall. Even lots of K9 dogs inside the mall. This perhaps make it safe...There is very limited seating around the shop so more of a grab your drink & go or walk around.

5 stars for Bubblelicious in the Gurnee Mills mall…read more I tried them for the first time the other day - they have a variety of bubble teas, tea lattes, and fruit flavored teas. I tried the Watermelon Green Tea - absolutely amazing. It has a ton of flavor of watermelon but you can still taste the green tea too. Staff were also friendly and quick- I would recommend if you want to try some flavorful teas.

Coconut is very mild, not very sweet - just a heads up. They come with sweet cream on top too, the servings are huge for the price. They have a wide variety of macron flavors. They have tons of drinks I want to try too. Service is always great. Definitely check this spot out.

For example, the Kungfu Tea in Libertyville, their tapioca pearls are so inconsistent. Sometimes I go and they're mushy and other times, they're so hard like rubber bullets; they're never made correctly and perfectly every time. That's where Te Amo comes in the picture. Their tapioca pearls are consistently good. They also have really good flavor combinations and the drinks are made with care. Along with the boba tea, they also sell mochi donuts and basque cheesecake!

This was earthy and so smoooooooooooth. Boba was chewy and fantastic. Next time maybe a slice of the exquisitely colored ube cheesecake or a soft and chewy mochi donut. This location is tiny. I took my drink to go and it was a delight.

Ube pancake with the ube butter and coconut jelly was made just right. The Galbi topsilog was good. Very rich marinade, not what I like, but on this plate with the garlic rice it works. Drinks were good, the Ube matcha was good on sweetness and the Calamansi lemonade was on point. Customer service was very good, the guy behind the counter saw us looking at the menu and asked if we'd like to hear about the specials... and they checked on us although at the table even though it felt more like a self serve style diner. Overall, good spot to get a quick fix for Filipino food craving.

I had the worst experience with this place. I called to place an order, and the person on the phone…read morerepeatedly told me she was busy. It honestly felt like she didn't want to take my order. Eventually, she said it would be ready in 45 minutes, and I told her my husband would come pick it up. When my husband arrived, she asked for the name and then told him there was no order under that name. She then asked him to repeat everything I had ordered. I called her while he was standing there and told her that was my husband picking up my order. She then handed him two bags. After my husband left, she realized she had given him the wrong order and called me while speaking to another customer. The call went to my voicemail. She told them, "I'm so sorry, that guy stole your food. I'm trying to see if they will bring it back." This was extremely upsetting and unprofessional, especially since the mistake was entirely on their end. The whole experience was disorganized, stressful, and handled very poorly. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of communication and professionalism.

Terrible experience and I would not recommend this place filthy bathroom and rude owner/ manager.
