Totally worth it! We come here often with my 11 year old for smoothies. Their selection is great. Very convenient late night hours.

Amazing!! I would recommend the strawberry fruit freeze with strawberry pop bubbles it's so good I'm addicted

Great place to get frozen drinks! They have fruit freeze with a lot of flavors, coffee freeze, decaf flavor freeze (vanilla bean, oreo, chocolate..), bingsu, tea, espresso drinks, baked goods, waffles, and many more! I got a large coffee freeze with vanilla latte + java chip flavors. Plus tapiocas. It was really good! Somebody else was getting bingsu and it looked really good too. I am definitely going back here again to try other things!! Nice interior and vibe. They have magazines and comfortable seats (but not too many).. read more

Love their Bing Su - used to come here with friends for a quick fruity snack! Yum. The vibe is definitely younger - this place is open late and attracts a lot of high schoolers. As an adult you won't want to stick around too long. read more

My boyfriend and I come here quite often, sometimes more than once a week. We are never disappointed and are always treated with respect by the staff. I switch my drinks up occasionally between bubble tea and milk tea while my boyfriend tends to get only bubble tea but always with extra tapioca. We're night owls and are almost always here after 11pm (they close at midnight) and we have never had a bad experience. We recommend their pastries as well. read more

The place was fast and polite. The smoothie was delicious. The place was a little small but it was clean. I came at a busy time but I still got my smoothie in a short period. Great place for bubble Tea and smoothies! read more

I'm a huge fan! The bubble teas are great and I love that the use real fruit instead of powders like many of the places in the area. I haven't tried anything else on the menu other than the fruit bubble teas so I can't really comment about anything else. They are open really late which is also a huge plus since pretty much everything else in the area closes at 9ish. I'm a huge fan!! read more

I really had countless cups of bubble teas all over the world! My all time favorite is an international chain called tea time but I am happy to say liquid fusion is definitely one of the best b tea I tried ever. What makes a good b tea is the sweetness and consistency of tapioca bubbles which is hard to achieve. LF does the bubbles really well. Right amount of sweetness and chewiness without being mushy or undercooked. If you like b tea this is by far the best in Chicago area. read more

Liquid Fusion Cafe - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

First time here. The drinks average. I got coffee it was OK. But my friend ordered mango smoothie ,she hated it. Not fresh at all. The store is small but cute and comfort atmosphere. Service was OK, but not super friendly. There are not many seats available here. Maybe I will try one more time. read more

My friend and I come here twice a week. We love the owner, the drinks are always flame. I love the new Pop Flavored Bubbles they recently added to their menu. The Tapioca balls are always an amazing choice. I enjoy any of the coffee freezes or fruit freezes. Honestly, can never get enough of this place! Just tried a Carrot/Orange Freeze last night, and it was amazing! Yummy! Thank you for perfecting your drinks! read more

Liquid Fusion had became worse since I last went there. My friends and I went there around last Sunday, and the employee taking our orders was just straight up rude. I asked him what the prices for each size were, and instead of telling me politely, he gave me an attitude and told me it was right next to me. He had a very unwelcoming attitude and sass. I was told by a coworker that this Liquid was a casual place with nice employees, but it wasn't at all. There are so many other bubble tea places I can go to for a way cheaper price too and better service from the employees. I don't recommend going to this specific Liquid Fusion. read more

EVERYONE IS SO RUDE HERE! As I was paying, the cashier was not at all friendly and just so rude. My friend was picking up my drink, and the person who made my HOT tea didn't put the cap on properly!!! Because of that, the tea spilled all over her hand. I would not at all recommend this place to anyone. read more

This has amazing bubble tea. Good staff all around and eager to help. Only reason to take away one star is the place is too small and always crawling with high School kids making too much noise. read more

This used to be our go to in high school! Only place in the North Shore that I know of that is mainly focused on bubble tea. The options of fruit and milk tea are great. I've only ever ordered the fruit smoothies which aren't bad, they are just watery and need a little work on consistency. Their boba is soft and chewy pretty much made to perfection. Small spot, so don't expect a seat in the summer time! read more

I love getting my Jasmine or house milk tea here. Tapioca is always perfect when I come...and I come at least once a week for the last several years. Usually fast service except when it's packed...rewards service but u literally have to a purchase many bubble teas before you get it..not sure of the details. No other food except maybe bingsoo and waffle desserts. Don't like their cookies, but I'm really there for their bubble tea. read more

I only ever get the milk tea and it's delicious. My granny loves the different flavored fruit shakes.

No Bingsu in some days and you have to call them to ask if they have bingsu. Disappointing especially if u have to drive far just to get bingsu. We had to drive from lincolnshire to glenview to get this! It wasnt even busy in lincolnshire! read more

Service is not that great and too many children hang out here. Not my crowd. Found another spot.

Lots of options for smoothies. I personally get the strawberry kiwi smoothie and it always is very good! Their coffee smoothies are very interesting .... wouldn't recommend their vegetable smoothies either.. but as far as their fruit smoothies definitely would recommend! read more

My drinks always taste too syrupy but I'll still come here out of convenience and a yearning for delicious tapioca. The space is small and always crowded with kids. read more

before it was joy yees. during my high school years, we made the trip down to evanston. then came along liquid fusion. fresh fruits and great teas. when id visit home during my college years, id always make an effort to swing by "liquid" (as we cool kids called it) for their house tea with tapioca. honestly, i havent had any bubble tea in ny that comes even close to liquid (or joy yees). read more

I'm not much of a bubble tea guy or tea drinker....but Liquid Fusion puts a little sophistication into the bubble tea cafes....too bad its located in a Northbrook strip mall that you can easily drive by without noticing going northbound on Milwaukee. They should open up in Chicago...they would certianly rock! Place is tiny too...but for what its worth...the drinks are uncomparable to them chicagoland/chinatown teeny-bopping bubble tea cafes. read more

Da BEST FRUIT FREEZE in the burbs. I wish I can multiply my body whenever I go there since I have such a hard time picking one. This unique little cafe offers 3 options to enhance your fruit freeze - Tapioca, Lychee Jelly and Fruit Jelly or opt-out. This makes it even harder to choose, but it's a good struggle. In Summer I struggle even more. Seasonal Strawberry bingsoo is added to my selection. It's shaved ice loaded with fresh strawberry slices and ice cream / frozen yogurt. Portion's very generous and I love their refreshing frozen yogurt. Side Effect? I find myself driving 40 min. for a drink. Can't find a place in my hood that will satisfy my palate. read more

Very good bubble tea, in my opinon, second to Q-Cafe. flavors very fresh and fruity, doesn't taste like powdered drink mix. The location is horrible, very little parking. I agree with Eric, if you aren't looking for this place, you'll drive right by. I'm surprised they're still in business because of the crappy location. Even the greatest place can't survive at a bad location. Will go here again if I can find parking. read more

Best and most consistent milk tea with tapioca in the Chicago land area, in my opinion!!!

I still like Chill Bubble Tea in Niles better then this place. We tried here on the 4th of July because it was one of the few places open in the area for bubble tea. It is in a really ugly little strip mall (I mean what strip mall is beautiful but still) and inconvenient/ill-designed parking lot...My almond tea was ok but thin/watery and the taste was more neutral then almond...The pineapple and mango's of the others with me was better tasting and thicker as they should be...The music was annoying and a little too loud but thankfully everyone else had a good time. I do not think we will be stopping here again. read more

I love liquid fusion! I come here often with my friends to hang out and get drinks. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting, plus the bubble tea is great! read more

Definitely the best bubble tea place in the suburbs! Their "house" milk tea is simply Divine. Unlike many other places their milk based teas don't have that powdery/grainy texture and taste. This place can be a little hard to find, but well worth it once you're there. They also have free wifi if you feel like spending some time there. Enjoy. read more

Luckily I work right down the street from this place because the drinks are great and so are the prices. I haven't tried their bubble tea yet, but their fruit freezes with tapioca are fresh and delicious. That is reason enough right there to check this place out. The only down side is that it can get pretty crowded at night. I go there to study a couple nights a week and sometimes you have to wait for a table. read more

Even though most of the drinks aren't made of fresh fruit, they are still refreshing and does the job to satisfy a bubble tea craving. "Strawberry dream" is by far the most frequently ordered among my group of friends and each time I introduce it to someone who's never had bubble tea before, they've always loved it. But my personal favorite is ice green tea passion with bubble, clean taste with less calories :-P Parking is a bit difficult, but somehow everyone always manage to find a spot. And a good thing is that the plaza is small so no matter where you park, the store is only a couple steps away. It is a popular hang out place for students and church youth groups...so it gets pretty pack on weekend evenings. read more

i don't know if liquid fusion sets the bench mark regarding bubble teas but it's ok enough for the burbs. you want bubble tea? need to try joy yee's. I need to try other things besides bubble tea to make a fair review. anyhow. regarding customer service; personnel taking orders needs to be a little less serious and grumpy. it's the weekend and it's 8 pm and you rather be out with your friends but you are working at a service related industry so put a little more effort when taking orders. read more

I love the bubble tea here! I love that I can get more than one flavor and I love that I don't have to drive into the city for a good glass of bubble tea. My favorite has to be watermelon and lychee, although the pineapple and coconut does taste exactly like a pina colada! So lovely! read more

It's a teeny tiny little place with coffee drinks and teas. Their Strawberry Dream bubble tea is fabulous, a little pricier than other places, but great quality. You can sit down or take your drinks to go. It takes a little longer than your in and out Starbucks run to get your drink, but worry not, they often have a long line in here for a dang good reason! read more

This is my go to place for bubble tea! I have been here countless amount of times and have never disliked what I ordered. I've tried many of the drinks from the fruit blend bubble teas, to the milk teas, and the coffee freezes (my favorites). The service is inconsistent as other reviews state, but it definitely doesn't deter me from coming back. It's a great environment to sit and hang out for awhile, though it's mostly high school kids. It's one of the few places that are open late night in the suburbs so it can get pretty crowded. read more

Customer friendly? Not at all, like jeez at least smile and ask how you are doing. If it's busy, parking can be a pain. Prices are a bit high, so I don't go often. I had the strawberry, apple, watermelon with tapioca it was good, not too sugary. Tried lychee before, but didn't like it. Tried blueberry, carrot, and strawberry, I liked that better, you don't really taste carrot in it. read more

Great place. Really good bubble tea and coffees. The owner is really nice and will remember you every time. Definitely a place to give a try. read more

This is one of those places I hung out at in high school, and it fortunately hasn't changed much in 7 years. Basically, they make an assortment of fruit drinks and bubble teas with tapioca pearls, and Liquid Fusion's are the best I've ever had anywhere (having never been to Asia, of course). Their decor is cute to boot and they attract an authentic, if somewhat young, crowd. read more

The thai tea was more powdery than I expected and too sweet for my taste, but the taro was 'okay' (but on the sweeter side again). It'd be great if I could control the sweetness. Overall impression a bit too pricey and too sweet. read more

Great quality and tasty. But poor service. The owner has so much attitude. Dont know how to treat his customers nicely. Found a hair on the fruit :( read more
