Vivi Bubble Tea

The decoration of this store is super cute and classy, which was why it stood out to me as I was walking around elmhurst. Since I’m not a huge fan of bubble tea, I ordered the fruit tea aloe which was refreshing and it tastes like they added honey into the drink. I also ordered the popcorn chicken in the basil flavor which tastes similar to the ones from Quickly. I really like how this place has a wider variety of flavors. Overall, the decorations stood out to me the most and I feel that people mostly hype over them not for the actual food there.

I asked for a passion fruit green tea with 50% sugar but they got the order wrong and put 100% sugar. Granted taste is different for everyone but I’ve had bubble teas with 50% sugar before and the one they made was way too sweet. I confronted them about it and they said next time I can try it with 30% sugar. There won’t be a next time, Joju across the street actually cares about their customers. Thank you for the diabetes

Vivi is able to stand out in Elmhurst, the motherland of bubble-​tea shops, because of it’s store front and décor. This shop has an awesome store front that is able to fully open for days of great weather and close during rain/​sleet/​snow.
Vivi has the usual bubble tea mix and drinks, nothing extremely out of the ordinary. I like their Red Bean Matcha and Passion Fruit Teas. You can customize the amount of sugar and ice for your drinks to meet your taste.
I tried their Takoyaki (Octopus) Balls and they were good to try at least once. Their Matcha Garden Waffles is a great food option and it comes with a topping of Green tea Ice Cream, Red Beans and several Green Tea Pocky Sticks.
My recent discovery and favorite is their Green Tea Ice Cream. This is a great hangout spot for these hot summer days.

like many of their predecessors, it’s a decent tea shop with above avg chill factor in this neighborhood. it literally took over a formerly great spot in Tenren, who just didn’t market themselves well and corner the market in the area.
Came here three times, first two were positive experiences with prompt service. yesterday, somehow there was a 10 min wait to take orders. clearly, both the lady in front of me and I were about to lose it. First rule of business, always take the customers money and close the sale, waiting after can happen. if you’re slow in making tea, hire more people. if you still can’t get it right, take a walk into a Starbucks and study their process flow. they never stop taking orders to make something (neverrrrrr). I’m sure it was an off day, I’ll give them another try.

I’m not a bubble tea expert. I got the honeydew milk tea. There was barely a hint of honeydew taste. The price is reasonable. Nothing amazing about it.

Very cute interior and nice atmosphere. Was not a fan of their milk tea but the regular flavored tea was good. Good if you want a tea shop with a bit more substantial food. Will come back to try the popcorn chicken.

This place looked adorable! I LOVED their seats! They were comfortable and so cute. They had some nice drink options: I tried the Thai ice tea today; it was pretty cool they had that! My boyfriend got the mango green tea and he said it tasted pretty good :)
Since I ate before passing by this place, I didn’t get to try any of the snacks. The crispy chicken looked good though. I’ll be sure to try that out next time!

I have came here a couple of times since they opened. The décor is really girly and cute. I like that this vivi allows you to customize the level of sugar in the drinks, not all of their locations have that option. I even have came here at 10:58PM, 2 mins before closing and they were able to accommodate me even though they were sweeping and cleaning the place to close already. Awesome!

Very cute exterior. Thought I was walking into a doll house. Interior has a comfortable look to it.
Get The Red Moo Milk. Enough Said.
Definitely coming back to get more and fill up my Vivi card.

This review is on their Takoyaki only. Their bubble tea is 3.5−4 stars (good).
Takoyaki was not freshly made and was crispy, instead of gooey. It tasted like they just fried it after it had been sitting around for at least a day. They were really small as well. Just about the worst Takoyaki I’ve ever had, which is sad since I live so close by.

Very cute boba shop. Comfy booth seating.
M is 3.50 and L is 4.25.
Ordered the grapefruit jelly with pulp, bomb :) the bubbles were plump and chewy, big chunks of grapefruit jello, and grapefruit pulp! Amazed. I’ll def be back for more

So my friend, boyfriend & i were around the neighborhood to grab some dinner. I was really craving me some bubble tea so we decided to try out Vivi’s since I’ve heard so much about the place. The location itself is adorable. I feel like im in a hello kitty restaurant :3 its pink & white and so fancy. I love it.
It was pretty busy that day but we managed to get a table & ordered pretty fast. My boyfriend got Jasmine tea with no bubbles, my friend got the thai iced tea with bubbles & ofc. me being a coffee fanatic i had to get tiramisu slush with bubbles. Oh boyy let me tell you, that Slush was sooo good. The girls at the register were very polite & very quick with the order. You order and once you get your ticket # you can go sit & wait till’ its called. Everything was great except for one thing, my order came & it was the wrong kind of drink :(minus 1 star for that. But its okay; i will definently be back & ofc that might change ;)

The theme of this store is SO cute. Very pink, very girly. I’ve never gone to any Vivi’s Bubble tea store before so when this first opened up near me, I was pretty excited. The structure of the store is kind of awkward. The seating is very close to the counter and you never really know where the line is.
Popcorn chicken is really good here and they give a good amount of chicken so it’s worth getting. I’ve only tried it in «spicy» so I don’t know how well the other flavors are. Next time, I’m going to get their garlic-​flavored one because another customer ordered it and when it came out, it smelled soooo good lol.
Also, if you’re a green tea /​matcha fan, try their drinks! My favorite is the red bean matcha with 70% sugar, just because the red bean is slightly sweetened.

So I love how it looks outside and it also look adorable inside. But i hope thy have more stuff on the menu

Around 4.3 What sets this from different boba places nearby is their hot snacks. Popcorn chicken, takoyaki, waffle and sausages. They offer wide variety of flavors. Probably the only thai tea in the area without the food coloring. The boba was cooked properly it was soft. And easy to chew on. Reasonably priced. Booth seating And nice atmosphere.
Downside is you cant find your standard boba toppings like the coconut jelly, mango jelly And popping. Other than that cant complain.

I bought the popcorn chicken here, and it is pretty good if you like eating crispy chicken that you can chew. It’s not dried out like the other places around the area, plus the portion and size is on the bigger side :) There should be a bit more pepper added so it is more flavorful but still good! Other than that, I give it 4 stars, because it took over 10 minutes to wait for only one order. If there was a 3 ½ star I would of given that instead.

I finally got to try this new bubble tea place today. The place is very nice and clean. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your bubble tea and the food they have to offer. As for the bubble tea it was pretty good and the price was average as compared to other tea places in the area. I really enjoyed the actual bubbles (tapioca) in this place as well. There is nothing mind blowing about this place but the bubble tea is pretty good. The service was friendly as well. I will be back again.

Brand new vivi in elmhurst. So what do u expect? Clean & nice interior. Hopefully its gonna be maintain. I always get the simplest drink. Hot bubble tea with boba. Compared to any other location of vivi, it taste the same so I’m contented. Sometimes its hard to tell if you’re gonna get too sweet or not sweet at all but vivi always maintain their level of sweetness which I like.

It’s a recurring theme I’ve noticed in which small Asian cafes serve Lactaid but do not know what it is.
They promoted the «moo milk» on the board outside the shop, which I wanted because it advertised the use of lactaid. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I truly appreciate any place that uses lactaid or plant-​based dairy substitutes. When I asked if they used lactaid in all of their products, the server had no idea what I was talking about. I just ordered the «yellow moo milk,» which in retrospect sounds revolting. It was boba and pudding and, to my dismay, an entire cup of Lactaid. I had asked when ordering what was in the different types of moo milk. She had said «red milk» which I now realized was what she called lactaid (because it has a red carton) along with the different toppings. I definitely think all employees should know the ingredients in the products and should be able to answer questions regarding allergens/​gastrointestinal issues. Me paying 4.25 for a cup of lactaid could have been avoided.
I also had the fried yams. They were like flavorless sweet potato fries. I wasn’t a fan, but for only $ 3.50, I guess I can’t complain.
I really appreciate that they take card for everything. They also don’t tax which is surprising.
Small spot with not a lot of seating. Four booths that seat four people each, and two small tables that seat two people.

The adorable dollhouse exterior is what caught my eye on a night stroll. Also, how could I not turn the giant diamond doorknob to check this place out?
I think most of the allure of this place is in its attention to cute design. A sharp contrast to the kicks from Kung Fu Tea.
However, the drinks are average tasting and priced.

3.5
Yet another bubble tea spot in the neighborhood, but I’m not complaining … I love bubble tea! The super pink store that stands out from its surroundings, with cute skully logos which drew me in. We went in and it was super busy, the seating was pretty much all occupied. The area to the cash register was a little confusing. There were a lot of people standing by the counter and we thought they were waiting in line. It was also a little narrow as we were standing there ordering; it felt like we were semi hovering over those who were sitting in the booth seating nearby. The staff had limited English, but was friendly and very welcoming. For one bubble tea that we got to share (Bubble Milk Black Tea $ 3) the wait was significantly long, but again they’re a new establishment.
I cannot wait until the next time I can stop by to try other bubble tea and food!

Very nice bubble tea shop in the neighborhood! Adorable seating area! Must try their Thai tea! Friendly atmosphere and very lovely people! Good service will never let you down. It’s a cozy place for you to take a break and enjoy your day!
I ordered the Thai tea without sugar and it is tasted just right! Love it and will try other drinks next time!

New cute and clean place. Such a big transformation compared to the old ten ren. I am glad that they have now seats. You can also get some snacks like popcorn chicken. It takes a while but its worth it because it comes out fresh and hot. Also decent prices.

I wondered just how many bubble tea places do you need along Broadway in Elmhurst. But tried this place anyway, and I can say each place ends up having some unique flavor or twist to offer. I tried the grapefruit ice jelly here and it was very good. Just like all the other places nearby, space is limited. But I did enjoy the drink, although the decoration if a little too cutesy for me, the place is very clean, and the people are helpful and friendly.

Their ice jelly tea is excellent with a very refreshing fruit flavor. To me it is sweet enough to ask for no sugar. The place is cozy, and has much more room compared to some other bubble tea places. Service is good, but a little slow, as the place is quite packed after opening.

I’m here with a bunch a friends. We ordered a variety of drinks along with some snacks. The cashier was very nice and very timely with our drinks. Looking forward to try some new drinks next time!!!

Must go! I’m pretty picky about bubble tea and this place has gone beyond my expectations! I recommend the peach tea. It’s awesome.

Atmosphere: The boba shop is pretty small, there are a couple of booths on the left hand side, but there isn’t much seating room to be honest. If you manage to snag a seat, there is free wifi.
Service: Employees were very friendly and helpful when asking for recommendations. I visited on the first few days after the grand opening, so the service was kind of slow and the line situation was a bit disoriented since there were people everywhere.
Boba:
Tapioca bubbles were chewy, not necessary sweet and pretty bland.
Tiramisu — The tiramisu milk tea was not bad, it was sweet, but tasted a lot more like sweetened coffee than tiramisu.
3Q — A mix of boba, herbal jelly and pudding. The 3Q milk tasted like a regular black milk tea sweetened. It’s the best drink item on the menu based on our selections. It’s similar to Coco’s 3 guys drink.
Red moo — A mix of red beans and boba. The moo drinks are made out of lactaid milk. My bf tried this one and the yellow moo and preferred this one since it was different.
Yellow moo — A mix of pudding and boba. The pudding wasn’t very sweet and tasted bland, according to my bf.

For a bubble tea store the quality is exceptional. You get what you are expected, but Vivi’s presentation is what grabs your attention. From the diamond doorknobs to the 4 seater booths (it can fit more than 4 people) is something I’ve never seen in Elmhurst.
It’s a great place to visit with your friends and converse with each other.
Btw the Red Moo Milk is delicious, but if you want something more refreshing, the Kumquat Plum Ice Jelly is awesome.

What a nice bubble tea shop. Very nice presentation. Can’t blame them for being slow with the chicken cause they just opened. Check out the deals while they last.
I tried the Orange kiss with 30% sugar. It was amazing, can’t find it anywhere else.
The workers are pleasant :)
It’s really pretty and has free wifi.
