    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. 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)??

Everest has both! I tried the lotus biscoff cookie butter avalanche (reg size) and LOVED it. The vanilla custard is creamy, delicious and has the perfect texture. I tried my husband's chocolate based avalanche and equally enjoyed the chocolate custard as well. ...I don't like that I'm admitting this.. LOL.. but I finished my entire sweet treat in 1 sitting while my husband had leftovers. This place had my self control out the window, it really is a great spot to end the night at. Andy's vs Everest? My vote is for Everest in all aspects. Service was quick, quality of desserts are top notch and the space itself is inviting with 25ish places to sit.

We were pleasantly surprised to discover a business that could serve both of these needs so that we didn't split our group after having a delicious meal at Xi'an cuisine. The interior here is quite fun, similar to other spots in the Naperville area. There's several nice opportunities for creating social media worthy pictures and the amount of seating is fairly good for a dessert spot. The menu isn't the trendiest as it covers popular options for custard and bubble tea, but not the more unique options available in some other restaurants in the area. If it weren't located near a competitive market in the Naperville / Aurora area, this would rank a bit higher as you'll find more here than lots of spots in the Schaumburg to Oakbrook area. Presentation is a bit on the simpler side, but still fairly good. The quality of the ingredients was pretty good as well. Service wasn't super fast as there was only 1 person preparing all the orders, though the wait was surprisingly not too long. Prices feel a little on the higher side, but not unreasonable given the area.

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.

We got our fill of freshly cooked Taiwanese food before stocking up on your Asian groceries, walking off a full belly at Park to Shop (Aurora). My husband ordered the pork belly bento box meal that comes with a drink of choice. We got the passionfruit tea qq and by we it's really just me; a fruit tea all to myself :) I ordered the curry beef brisket bento. This option was not available for a "meal" that comes with a drink in the price. All bentos came with a soy braised egg (the yolk was jammy and perfect) and some pickled yellow daikon. The food was freshly prepared to order. When you walk in, there's actually several options to order. You can 1) order at the kiosk by the cashier 2) place your order with the friendly woman behind the desk or 3) sit down at a table and order using the QR code at each table. The space was modern and clean, with a few tables near the front entrance that would fit a party of 4, but mostly tables and chairs along the side wall that would fit 2. Seating is similar to what you'd see at a standard cafe (like one that serves espresso/coffee drinks) so it might not be the best place if you have a large party and want to sit together. There was a friendly men and woman who were cooking in the kitchen and taking/servers orders, respectively. It was definitely a mom and pop vibe, which I love and am happy to support their business. Taiwanese noodle soup is on their menu but it's "coming soon." Once their noodle soup is being served, we will definitely be back to try it. It would be perfect during the colder months. Five stars!

We've brought traveling friends and family here, and it never misses. The portion sizes are fantastic--we highly recommend the Shrimp Spring Rolls and the Viet Taste Starter Platter, which is an amazing deal. For our main courses, we usually go with the V032 Pho Dac Biet (the broth is so comforting!) and the V070 Double 'B' Banh Mi. Occasionally, I'll opt for the V062 Marinated Pork Chop with Honey Sausage and Fried Eggs, which is always delicious. Located in Pacifica Square near the Fox Valley Mall, it's such a fun, cozy atmosphere. They usually play acoustic guitar covers of pop songs in the background, which adds a really nice touch to the experience.

I got the V045 which is pho with Well Done Beef Brisket, Eye Round Steak Slices, Tripe, which I usually get when I go to a Pho Noodle Station location. The pho came out and the first few bites satisfied the pho craving. But the cuts of meat weren't the best and the broth didn't taste fresh. It was hard to finish the bowl, although the portion size was generous. It probably didn't help that we were seated next to the kitchen, and the doors would swing open every few minutes and smells of dish soap would waft through. I usually love Pho Noodle Station, especially the location in Champaign, but this was a disappointing experience. Not sure if the stores are related, but I wish the quality was as good as that location.

    Park to Shop is my go-to Asian grocery store. They have a food court inside, live and frozen…read moreseafood, a bakery section, and even kitchen supplies, in addition to fresh produce and packaged goods. Here are some of things that are usually on the shopping list: * dried rice noodles (for pho and noodle soups) * sauces or seasonings (hot pot broth packets, xo sauce, chicken bouillon, pho soup powder, bun bo hue soup powder, pho spices, chinese cooking wine, dashi, fried garlic, fried onion, etc.) * produce (bok choy, pea shoots) * tofu * baked goods (bbq pork buns, hot dog buns) * frozen items (dumplings, udon) I re-stock on items that I wouldn't be able to easily access to the grocery stores closer to me. It's definitely an out-of-the-way grocery trip for me, but the Park to Shop Aurora location is much closer than say, driving the Chinatown for Asian groceries. I am glad I can get what I need here, the prices are average/accessible, and there are so many options to eat Pacifica Square so it's fun to make a little trip out of it. My order usually is 1) eat something delicious in the food court or right around Pacifica Square, then 2) walk off the food by grocery shopping. Be sure to peruse the sauce aisle! That's my favorite.

Another time I got a box of cake that is imported and pricy, and after I got home found out that it had a broken seal, and several pieces of the cakes are missing. Park to Shop, you can't expect the customer to always count on checking the seals of your product and there's no way for us to know the quality of the inside of a fruit. It is the basic business integrity that every grocery store needs to hold to gain customer trust. I'm very disappointed and think that Park to Shop lowered the Asian groceries' reputation bar.
