    Lychee green tea with butterfly pea tea - yummy!
    Ozzie T.

    Wow! Come check out the cutest and newest boba tea shop in Chicago! The owners are so friendly. They make the bobas fresh daily and the creme brûlée topping is made from scratch. You can really taste the difference in the quality of the ingredients! Each drink is customized to your liking/sweetness level. And, the decor is too cute! I love their take on the Zodiac - very creative! I've been to a lot of boba shops and I have to say this shop has the most extensive menu I've seen. From slushies, smoothies, fruit tea, syrup sparklers, fruit refreshers, shaved iced, seasonal and signature drinks, and even ice cream. There is something for everyone. I can't wait to come back and try their mangonadas and mango tango refresher.

    A new boba spot opened up near the HIP? Yes please! I got the Viet Sugar Cane Drink (on the right) and it was extremely refreshing. The staff were nice and made sure I enjoyed my drink. I will be back!

    Mango Passion fruit with lychee jelly.  Yum!

    New boba spot right next to Jimmy John's. The passion fruit mango was delicious. The inside was super nice with the neon signs as well. The service was great. Everyone is very kind.So many awesome choices. 10/10 I'm coming back

    Vietnamese owned boba store with wide variety of boba options. Took about 5 minutes for boba to be ready. I got the Vietnamese coffee with Ube Cream (Filipino and Viet Mix) and it was pretty good! It was a bit bitter but had the right amount of sweet! Shop was well lit and had some cute Christmas decor.

    I came here for the first time with my partner and my experience was wonderful. I initially ordered the Jasmine Tea but I didn't end up liking it; however, they switched it up for me and didn't let me pay even when offered. I think that's such a nice thing given that it's my first time here. They also have the Vietnamese Zodiac sign on the wall, which is pretty cool to read. The place is decorated very nicely, good to take pictures. I highly recommend!

    S5. Lychee Green Tea with Butterfly Pea Tea and S6. Peach Green Tea

    The service was amazing and the guy taking our order was very friendly and happy to answer questions about the drinks. Plenty of options and the interior has cute decor, very clean inside as well. I got the Signature Lychee Green Butterfly Pea Tea and it's delicious. Tastes very fresh and I will be coming back to try the other Signature drinks.

    such a great new spot! Wonderful variety and cute space. The fruit tea is delicious! They also have ice cream. A great spot if you want to do some work on the laptop.

    As someone who moved to Chicago from the Bay Area CA, this place is by far the BEST I've had in…read moreChicago/Chicagoland yet. We arrived on a Saturday around 7:30 and they started getting packed and had a wait by 8. They are cash only but if you forget they have an atm inside as well! Prices are so shocking! Each bowl was about $14 which is the cheapest I've seen a bowl of pho in a looooong time. Food comes out pretty quickly. We order the appetizer fried shrimp Rangoon, bun Bo hue, pho dac biet, and avocado smoothie w/boba. The base of soup for both dishes was AMAZING! Good depth of flavor and not lacking anything. The bun Bo hue had a ton of meat and they even have the pork blood cubes! Pho dac biet was lacking a quantity of meat but good variety. The only complaint I have is the Avocado smoothie was very bland and didn't have much avocado taste. The boba tasted old because it didn't have its chewy texture anymore. Will DEFINITELY be coming back for the food!!!

    I am from California traveling to Chicago…read more I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The bun bo hue was flavorful, and the rice with pork chop exceeded my expectations. Best of all, the prices are very affordable compared to other places I've tried. The goi cuon is only $5.50 for two rolls, while other restaurants charge around $7.50. I highly recommend this spot. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash, although there's an ATM inside.

    I ordered a THAI CLOUD through the website, and when it was picked up, I realised it didn't match…read morewhat I ordered. It was missing the cream shown on the menu, and I know how it should look since I've ordered before. I understand they may have run out since it was late (around 8:45pm), but it's disappointing that no one informed us. They could've at least explained it to the person picking up the order instead of saying nothing. I ended up paying full price for an incomplete product. -also, at least at the NorthRiver Side location, the sugar level option doesn't seem to be respected. Whether you ask for 25% or 50%, the drinks always taste like 100%. If that can't be controlled, it shouldn't be listed as an option. -as a frequent customer, I used to earn points and redeem them for a free boba, a couples weeks ago I was told that option was no longer available. I really like the drinks here, but overall there needs to be better communication and more transparency with customers.

I like how there are pieces of fresh peach in there. My family members are fans of the mango slush drink. Usually, you order everything at the kiosks, and then they will call out your name. There are a few food options like mini pancakes. Side note: If you spend a certain amount at the nail salon next door (Future Nails) you get a complimentary drink from The Wolf.

    I went here for boba with a friend. She appreciated how there were a variety of non-caffeinated…read moreflavor combinations. I opted for the matcha dalgona with boba. It was delectably foamy and sweet. My only regret was that it was this particular flavor combination didn't come with an option for a larger size. It really hit the spot for a cold, foamy beverage with perfectly chewy boba. I also tried out their house special braised beef noodles. They were great, but I wish there were more vegetables and noodles. (This was just personal preference.) The beef was well braised, seasoned, and excellent. Patrons order from kiosks and pick up items from the front desk. It would have been nice to interact more with staff, but the system is definitely set up for efficiency. Parking is a shared plaza private lot with plenty of spots during the weekdays. Weekends can be hectic given the amount of businesses here. Worth a visit for sure!

I ordered the mango mochi with whipped cream to go. They served me my drink without a lid? I was so confused and asked for a lid. I genuinely believed that they probably forgot that my drink was ordered "to go"... However, the worker passive aggressively told me that if I wanted her to put a lid on it, then she would have to "scoop ALL" of the whipped cream off... I'm not sure how she expected me to travel with my drink without a lid when I ordered it to go... I had to ask her if I could get a lid anyway... I guess they don't have dome lids? Lol Anyway... The drink was delicious. The only critique I have is that I wish they blended their ice better. There were random large clumps of ice throughout the drink. I really enjoyed the drink but my encounter was a little off-putting.

Ranked number two at the time, it became an instant bookmark for me being that I absolutely love boba tea drinks. And honey, it was a must visit once I discovered the Oreo Shake which literally made my mouth salivate! Thanks to Ashley S, who shared a picture of it via yelp. I visited post getting off of work prior to driving towards Edens Expressway; its location sits not too far from downtown Skokie, an area that I frequent. I honestly feel like you have to be in search for Kandy Crush Melt because it sits off of Oakton St, yet on Kenton Ave. In my opinion, there needs to be some sort of signage off of Oakton Ave that would capture the interest of individuals driving along Oakton St. Even though I knew what I wanted to order before visiting, I took my time looking at the menu, just to confirm the items. And when I was ready, the employee took my order, and I ended up ordering the Oreo Shake as visited for. As I waited, I was given a free sample of Mini Pancake Bites which were freaking delicious! I finished every bit of what was given because I had not ever tasted anything as delicious as that Nutella syrup. Immediately after finishing off the Mini Pancake Bites, I began taking sips of the Oreo Shake which I must say looked wonderful! Eek! Brain freeze! Tehehe, these taste buds of mine were surged with that delicious Oreo taste as anticipated. From then on, every sip was a mouthful of joy as I drove, resulting in a slight grin that not even traffic on the Expressway could break, I kid you not. There was a point while driving along the Expressway that I questioned if I would be able to finish it off; thinking to myself that it was good that I ordered a medium size Oreo Shake rather than a large because that shake, good Lord; the medium was definitely enough. Being that I had a great experience, I would gladly order from Kandy Crush Melt again when in the Skokie area. For future orders, I can surely see myself ordering via yelp in order to make it an in-and-out visit while on the go for sure.
