    Sisters and I drove about 35 minutes to try this milk tea place and we are so happy we did. It's now our new favorite place which sucks because it's so far! They took our order and had our drinks ready in about 5 minutes with 2 other groups waiting. We got: * Milk Tea w/ Pineapple jellies, Tapioca, and half sweetness 10/10 * Passionfruit Green Tea w/ Mango jellies, Tapioca, and half sweetness 10/10 * Lava Milk Tea w/ Mango Jellies, Tapioca, and half sweetness. 10/10 Everything was delicious. We've tried so many places and somehow someone always ends up not liking something about their drink. But this time the car ride home was just us talking about how tasty the tea was. I highly recommend this place! And consider yourself lucky if you live close!

    Coconut milk tea with pearls.

    Coconut milk tea with pearls. The tapioca was a little too hard for my liking. The coconut flavor is not too bad, but I personally would try something else next time I'm here. I haven't tried their other drinks, but be prepared to pay around $5 for a large drink since the place is inside a mall.

    Thai Tea & Strawberry Drink

    The Thai tea was not quite what I'm use to getting but it was still good. A bit on the sweet side. I did like there were many different types of tapioca and jelly's available. Try the lychee jelly....so yummy!!! we also had the strawberry drink. Nothing fancy but it was good too. I like that they use the machine that seals on the top.

    Had their bubble tea couple years ago and went back today - this is a decent bubble tea place that carries Taiwanese bubble tea taste much better than some others, like Kung Fu tea in downtown. I'd say theirs and Teabarr in Chicago are both pretty decent and I'd say Ma Tea is slightly better in terms of how well the milk tea is blended and its tea flavor. My partner tries their bubble tea and he loves it. Their bubbles are well cooked, which is always a plus. I tries their matcha green tea latte, and unfortunately they are not the best - sadly Starbucks' green tea latte has much better matcha flavor! The tea shop is always clean and the staff is friendly. Overall, I like it!

    So so many flavors to choose from. They even have the fruit jelly boba and the popping ones. Our only complaint is the sizes are pretty small for the prices.

    Bubble Tea!!!!

    Great Bubble Tea. I love all the boba, jellies and add ins for this California like Tea House. Soft small tapioca (my favorite), milk tea, green tea, frozen fruit smoothies too. If you have never tried bubble tea it's great for after dinner or lunch stop without making you feel too full. No more driving to Cermak downtown for this yummy specialty. I hope everyone gives it a try! My only complaint is the location is not the best, I'd rather not have to go in Fox Valley Mall.

    Finally! A bubble tea place in Fox Valley Mall. (mid level by carsons) Gone are the days of power shopping with an Orange Julius or pretzels and lemonade in hand while dodging hoards of teenagers and suburban shopping pros. Now I can relax and sip on herbal teas (or fruit juice/smoothies) while roaming the mall. I'm not a huge fan of boba actually (it doesn't make me less Asian!!), but I really like the rainbow jelly (because I'm a child) and drinking plain milk tea is like bathing in nostalgia. Prices are on par with other places so no complaints there. They also serve waffles, both sweet and savory. I wasn't brave-- or hungry-- enough to try it last time I was at the mall.

    If you like bubble teas, this is your place. They have a large selection of drinks from teas, coffee, juices, hot, cold, frozen. Each drink can have the tapioca pearls that make it a bubble tea. Nice drink while walking around the mall.

    Taro Milk tea with boba. Delicious!! Great for all you Ube lovers.
    Samantha C.

    The tapioca milk tea is really delicious. I've only been here a handful of times, but I am hooked! They have an extensive tea menu, and give you the option to make your own concoction. Hopefully next time I can be able to force myself to try their health teas. I am currently interested in their chrysanthemum goji berry. This place is in the fox valley mall.. I wish they had more locations outside of the mall with a drive through... That would be ideal. Anyways, I will definitely be back obviously. All staff that I've come across are very friendly and helpful. From what I gather staff is comprised of mostly local high school kids and perhaps the owner(s)??

    It was very good. The tapioca just explodes in your mouth and adds more flavor to the drink.

    One of worst service experience. The guy couldn't make a simple chai latte and charged $5 for a cold chai latte.

    The ambiance is really nice! Great place to hang out or study with your friends. The service was…read morealright, they were nice and offered us some samples of other tea. The weird part was asking if i had a punch card and when i said no they didn't offer me one either? Either way, i got the taro strawberry smoothie and a hazelnut iced coffee. Neither of us enjoyed the drinks because they're very syrup heavy resulting in a drink that's wayyyyy too sweet. It just tastes like drinking concentrated syrup and powder blended/mixed with milk. Barely tasted any taro. Having some real ingredients like frozen strawberries with taro powder is what I'd expect at this price point. Not both ingredients being powdered and syrups. The tapioca itself was really good, soft and not too chewy. But there's just way too much of it, you're eating boba more than enjoying a drink. The brown sugar syrup that the boba sits in doesn't help with the additional sweetness in the drink. Wouldn't recommend for real drinks

    One of Aurora's (Chicago Suburbs) Best Boba Tea Spots!…read more After traveling around the world and tasting boba from Taiwan to Singapore, I can confidently say that Vannie House in Aurora delivers some of the best tapioca pearls I've had in the U.S. The pearls are perfectly chewy, fresh, and absolutely on par with the quality I've experienced in top-tier Asian tea shops. One thing I really appreciate is the tapioca-to-drink ratio. Most boba shops either overload you with pearls or drown everything in too much liquid. Vannie House nails the balance, every sip and scoop feels intentional and well crafted. I tried several drinks on my visit: M9 (modified with Thai Tea) -- Smooth, flavorful, and extremely well blended. A3 Orange Peach with Black Tea -- Sweet, refreshing, and surprisingly layered in flavor. Hot Chai Tea -- Rich, warm, and incredibly smooth. Easily one of the best chai teas I've had at any boba shop. The interior decor is also a standout, clean, modern, cozy, and aesthetically designed. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and enjoy your drink rather than rush out. Huge shoutout to Niko, whose recommendations were absolutely on point. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, exactly the kind of service that keeps you coming back. If you're in Aurora and looking for high-quality boba tea, Vannie House (my #47 Boba Tea Spot) is a must-try. I'll 100% be returning whenever I'm in the area.
