Vivi Bubble Tea - Chicago

We ordered at the kiosk, and there were handwritten signs taped all over the screen about how they couldn't customize the drink... Yet the drinks turned out delicious! They could spend some extra funds with sprucing up the decor and looks. Half the ceiling tiles were missing.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and it has changed so much. It used to be less popular so my drinks would be made faster and the small shop was less crowded and the prices used to be cheaper. However, I’m glad to see that the building has been renovated with a better look and more drinks have been added to the menu. I got a large red bean matcha with 30% sugar without tapioca because they were out. I ordered my drink without ice but I ended up getting ice in my drink. The cashier also got the person behind me’s order wrong. When giving my change, they gave me a Canadian penny without noticing. There weren’t too many people in line but I spent a while waiting. Overall, I like the old bubble tea shop better but the drinks are good.

I loved vivi bubble tea!! super cute inside and great location. there are many options but i went with the classic matcha blended with tapioca. personally i think the tapioca was so good. the workers were super sweet as well!!

This is a cute little asian bubble tea place. I really enjoy the drinks. At times the wait time can be a bit long because of the university students and workers can only do so much. If you are in the area and to try something new I would try it.

I'm surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. I've been here a few times because one of my friends live near this area and this has definitely become part of my regular rotation. I recently ordered the Oolong Milk Tea with Boba (70% sugar). What I like about this place is that the milk tea actually tastes more like tea than it does milk! They've got the ratio down. Anyway, I definitely want to come back and try their other types of tea. They have a lot of options and I haven't heard of some before. I also have tried the taro creme brulee, several months ago, and it was really good! Usually, I avoid taro because many places use a powder and it doesn't taste like real taro, but this place seemed to use more natural ingredients, at least that's what it tasted like to me. And I personally like their boba it is soft and chewy but not too chewy at all.
