Boba Tea & Snow Ice House — Restaurant in Hainesville

Was scrolling thru my photos and realized I never left a shining review for this wonderful bubble tea store. I believe this actually marks my first review for a Hainesville business.

It was actually just under a year ago in late June when we first tried this venue and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the boba here.

Just got done eating dinner in Grayslake (we're from Beach Park) and always ask my oldest son who just turned 10 what he wants for dessert; ice cream or bubble tea?

For a while there, weren't much options for bubble tea in this part of the county. Typically it was either go to Gurnee or further south to Libertville/Vernon Hills.

But it certainly appears boba finally made it's way to the NW quadrant of the county or as some refer to as the Chain O' Lakes area. The bubble tea here is yummy and have been out here a couple more times since the first visit.

As long as there's Taro and preferably available as a smoothie/ice blended, my older son will be happy. My younger son who's 4 never argues about the dessert option.

Lots of flavors and add-ons here and definitely will have to try the snow on an upcoming visit. Love the aesthetic of the shop, prices are reasonable and the service is very friendly. Wish for continued boomin' business for the owner(s) especially with...

I've had the oolong and the house milk tea so far, both with plain boba, and both were excellent. The customizability of flavors, add-ins, and sweetness level lets everyone get the drink exactly suited to their tastes. The boba themselves soaked up the tea flavors, not the flavor of sugar syrup, which I appreciate.

The chocolate bubble waffle was a tasty treat, if rather more generous than I could finish by myself, though be warned that it's not particularly well-suited to travel and the toppings pretty much demand it be consumed immediately to avoid...

I was super happy to see a boba tea place closer to home open up! I got the banana milk tea and it was delicious! It tasted like actual bananas and not artificial banana flavoring. You can still taste the tea in the drink, which is at a lot of places you can't. they just taste like sugar and artificial flavor but not here, and the prices were very reasonable. The shop is super cute and the service was great! I will definitely be back to try other drinks as well as the snow ice, which looks great and bubble waffles!...
