Tried this location this past August mainly for the sake of my 9-year-old son who loves CBT. We just got done eating dinner so naturally I have to ask him what he wanted for dessert.
Just like any other Chill parlor, delivers the same consistent taste which isn't necessarily the best tasting bubble tea but definitely not the worst either.
I've heard some ppl describe it as the McD's of bubble tea being it's not deemed authentic like other higher quality Asian chains and originated from Chi-Town.

Read moreService and atmosphere is great but very disappointed with the flavors and consistency of all the smoothies.

Overall definitely disappointed with flavors and consistency of the drinks and extremely pricey considering the quality...

I got a chocolate banana smoothie and honestly I’m not sure what the issue was, but it was extremely thick so thick to the point where it wouldn’t come up the straw. It also had a weird consistency and the taste was just awful. When I called to ask what could be done about the girl on the phone who said her name was Maria was extremely rude. When I asked what she could do about the smoothie, she said there was nothing she could do without her manager, and that she didn’t care. I go to the other chill bubble tea location in skokie all the time and have gotten this drink a...
