The drink menu had a great plethora of choices and we opted for the strawberry slush with strawberry popping boba and the rice oolong fresh milk with boba. The cups were adorable and very strong! I think that's what makes a great drink shop; great quality cups and high quality drinks. My husband's strawberry slush tasted so good. It had this nice creamy strawberry aftertaste that we were both instantly addicted to. The service was great and the drinks were delicious! We will definitely come back again and again.

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.

Stumbled on this new boba spot in downtown Lemont and it's a good one! Plenty spacious to hang out,…read moreplay some games, and enjoy a cold or hot boba drink. Some color would be nice, but this place is clean and there's a lot of seating. I ordered a hot coco ube coffee and customized it to 50% sweet using the kiosk. There was only one person working here when I put the order in, but someone else came in later to help. My drink took a little time, but the space made the wait tolerable. Glad to see a nice variety of different boba drinks here and having the option to dial down the sugar. It's nice to see some real coffee and tea offered with the fruit drinks, smoothies, and such. You can also get bubble waffles here which are always a good choice. Novatea should be your regular boba spot, if you're in the area.

I wanted to write a review because I worked here for about a month before being suddenly fired…read more The owner is nice, but her husband, who manages everything, created a very uncomfortable work environment. He frequently brought up politics, demographics, and "statistics" at work in ways that felt inappropriate and often came across as biased. It wasn't the kind of environment I expected from a workplace. I personally chose not to engage with these conversations because I was there to work, and I try to keep my personal beliefs separate from my workplace. However, being repeatedly exposed to these types of comments from management made the environment feel unprofessional. I also noticed that he would tell us certain employees had quit, but after speaking with those employees, I learned that was not always what happened. This made me feel like there was a lack of honesty and transparency in how situations were handled. One comment that really stuck with me was when he told me and another young female employee that we'd be prettier if we spoke more intelligently and that men would like us more. We are both very young girls, and that comment was incredibly inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. I was also told that if I came in early every day, I would receive a $1 raise. I did exactly that, and I received the raise on my final paycheck. Just a few days later, I was fired. It was confusing to be recognized with a raise and then immediately let go without being given a meaningful explanation. I was told I was being fired because I supposedly had an attitude with a customer. When I asked what had happened, I wasn't given a clear explanation and was simply told they had decided not to continue my employment. I work hard, take my jobs seriously, and I rarely leave negative reviews because I know everyone is trying their best. I didn't contact them afterward because I felt I had already been treated disrespectfully. After the way I was spoken to and the lack of honest communication, I didn't feel another conversation would have changed anything. As a customer, I also found the food to be average, especially for the price. Before I even worked here, my mom and I had cheesecake from the café on a few different occasions, and every time it had a noticeable freezer-burn taste. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. Based on my experience as both an employee and a customer, I would encourage people to support another family-owned café instead.

This looked like an interesting place so I decided to try it…read more Ban Mhi (grilled pork) was delicious. Bright flavors with all the veggies and cilantro. Bread could have been better, but not the worse. The crispy chicken was the star of the meal! I'll definitely have that again. Great crisp and flavor. I got it with Boom Boom sauce and it worked great. Fries were good, and so was the milk tea. The cinnamon sugar waffles though were a total let down: very dry. Extremely disappointing All in all, a good local option and will definitely order again.

I wasn't impressed with the bread itself but we all have our off days but it would probably have taken this to 5 stars. I also had couple of the waffles to go and this is where things kinda start falling apart a little and literally. They came on a stick but you couldn't really hold the stick up as the waffle was too heavy so I didn't understand the concept. It still had good flavor though. They Ube waffle was different but I didn't feel I tasted any "ube" like I am not sure it added anything except the color. I had the smoothie as well and that was very sweet and didn't taste natural so that I didn't like but I am sure others might. I definitely would have preferred a more natural smoothie. Inside the store its kinda cute for teens to hang out. So overall I recommend this place. Food : 4/5 Service: 4/5

PSA: Do not go here if you're in a hurry…read more Love love love 7 Brew BUT this location just...lacks. This is a company that has risen to the top because of their *awesome* customer service and unfortunately that beaming interaction is not present at this location. I truly hope they find some spunk because I will not become a dedicated regular with these bad 'tudes. I've now visited this location 5 times. I wanted to wait to write a review since it's a new location to give them a bit of grace during the transition. I'm pretty disappointed though. The drinks are always good, which should be the most important part, but when driving away I haven't left in a better mood than when I entered the drive through line. And of course, that's THEE POINT of getting coffee! I've encountered the gen z stare multiple times, and when workers are friendly it seems forced. It's offputting and unwelcoming. Another issue with this location, I waited 15 extra minutes one time because there was mix up with the drinks in the car in front of me. I know it wasn't the employee's fault BUT there is no way to get out of line once you have your drink (far left line) so if there's an issue, everyone waits. That being said, you can get your drink fixed before you leave the line, but then you're the "a-hole" that holds up the line. Overall I love 7 Brew and I'm hoping they tweak the customer service here to become an all star establishment. You won't have to pay extra for the judgement or side eye from the employees here, but they will ask you for a tip! LOL
