BOBA CALICO — Restaurant in Glendale Heights

Went on the opening weekend and everything was great. We got the Orea Milk Tea with Oreo Foam and the Ginger Milk Tea, as well as some of the puddings available in the display.

Oreo Milk Tea with Oreo Foam: Great Milk tea that isn't overly sugary. You can still taste the tea flavor you're looking for. The foam is a nice combination of sweet and salty, I personally mix it into the rest of the drink. The boba itself is perfect, slightly warm and cooked through to perfection.

Ginger Milk Tea: Great Milk tea with a strong ginger flavor. Just know, it's actual ginger, so it will give it a very strong warming/burning sensation, great for the cold weather.

Puddings: Nice little refreshing desserts, nothing heavy. There are cakes with whipped cream/popping bobba topping as well as puddings of different flavors. Both are worth trying.

Overall, I'm very happy to have this as a local option for Milk tea. As someone who gets it about once a week I can say this is definitely the best in the area. If you've never tried a Milk tea place I would definitely recommend it! They also have standard teas and fruit drinks for those who prefer them...

“Wanted to try a different drink and got a Mango Milk Tea and it was awful. Almost vomited. They usually have the wife and husband working, but today they had teenagers doing the drinks and it wasn’t good at all. Came back in with a full drink with only a few sips taken out of it and they didn’t do a refund but offered a new drink for 50% off. It was sickly sweet even with 0% sugar and had an off putting taste. I rejected their offer and tossed the drink in the trash. Will not come back again, ever.” - My Mom, who made me write this on her behalf

We had good experiences in the past, but my mom thinks that they should’ve either given a refund or a new drink for free and didn’t like the service today. She’s really mad right now lol while I’m typing this. I guess we won’t be back? I personally really like this place, but I think they should leave the tea making to the couple instead of...

We absolutely loved this place. My wife and I saw it while driving somewhere and stopped by to try it out. The choice of teas is vast - all kinds of fruits teas, milk teas, taro teas, smoothies etc and the owner is such a joy to talk with. She was happy to go over the selection with us and recommend a couple of teas based on our tastes. We got the mango cloud tea and the signature milk tea. They were both excellent. The boba was freshly cooked and perfect. I think their mango cloud tea is the best I've ever tasted. We are taking a couple of cake slices to try as well. Wish they had a store in downtown as this one is quite a drive for us, but we will be...
