Liquid Fusion

Good price point, relaxed environment, great combos and service. Green tea latte freeze is a must and glad to see both traditional and bursting tapioca available.

I will most likely go to the one in Northbrook before this one. But I love it! The drinks are always on point. My favorite is the Chai Fruit Freeze with Tapioca. The only thing I will say that isn’t ‘customer friendly’ is the fact that the points are not connected. If I go to liquid fusion, the points I accumulate, shouldn’t be by individual location, they should be combined.

Cannot believe it took me so long to try this place. I have been dying to find good bubble tea since I moved here 4 years ago. This place is terrific! I ordered the mango bubble tea with tapioca. I was really happy with the flavor and the amount of tapioca that they put in the drink. I love getting the tapioca pearls with every sip, so they were not stingy! Can’t wait to go back!

My sister and Gf loved the melon ah and green tea specialty freezes. The snickers one tastes like diarrhea and coffee.

Love the flavor and range of Bubble tea they have. had the peanut butter and my friend had the cookies and cream, both were nice. Next a fruity taste:)

I’d pick Liquid over Starbucks anytime. I do my homework here almost every day. There’s a lot of tables and space avaliavle. Love the smoothies the most.

Always solid. Never disappoints. If you’re looking for a place that has great fruit flavored freezes with tapioca. LF always satisfies my cravings for bubble tea/​fruit freezes. The fruit flavors taste like they’re supposed to and the tapioca is never too chewy or too mushy. Clean setting and free wifi. Nice place to just chill and get a little refreshing snack.
Mango orange fruit freeze with tapioca is my personal favorite.

i’ve only had the taro tea with bubbles… and i can’t complain. I wish they were a bit more friendly – the 2^nd time I went, I was the only customer and he made me feel like I was an intrusion to his day!

Honestly love this place! It’s a little out of my way but for the drinks it’s worth it. I usually get the spiced chai tea with boba or the Thai tea with boba. Depending on when you go, there can be a little bit of a wait because the lines get extremely long but I love it. It’s comparable to chill bubble tea in the mall (woodfield, gurnee) but so much better.

The Bubble Tea here is the only thing I’ve ever gotten, but it sure does the trick in an area devoid of many options.
A popular hangout spot for students around the area, Liquid Fusion offers a good variety of drinks for pretty decent prices. I mostly stick to their house tea with boba, but apparently their taro and fruit variety drinks are also great as well!
Being open so late is also a great bonus, in case you’re ever in the mood at 1 am.

Their bubble tea is really good and well priced. It’s a little heavy on my stomach, but everyone else I know loves it. The service is fast too, and the atmosphere’s cute!

Super snazzy coffee shop with ample study space. I tried the pineapple-​mango boba freeze and white hot chocolate mocha. The girl was nice enough (?) to inform me that there is caffeine in the my drink (from the espresso). Interesting.

What can I say. I’m OBSESSED with bubble tea and usually go hunting for new places. The drinks here aren’t authentic but they taste great. I usually get the lychee or watermelon coconut and both are amazing. The place is cute and they have free Internet so a fun place to sit and chill

Best I’ve found in the area. Great prices and selection, however not the best location.

Liquid Fusion is likely the top mass market bubble tea venue in Chicago. The Lincolnshire location replaced a Starbucks and is the second in the suburbs (the original is in Northbrook). Overall the ambience is laid back and reflective of the general patronage being that of the local student population (Stevenson is only minutes away) so it’s built for studying, meeting up with friends, and relaxing. A big perq that keeps LF differentiated from most of the area includes the late night hours throughout the week. Both coffee and bubble tea options are recommended with the former using illy roasts. The bubble tea tends to use fresh fruit and the large is the better value. The loyalty card is a good reward mechanism for those who frequent bubble tea spots akin to the local coffee shop. Moreover, the staff is very helpful in advising on flavor mixes (you can mix up to three fruits into a bubble tea) and quite pleasant to interact with.
In short, Liquid Fusion will continue to be the spot I support each time I visit Long Grove /​Lincolnshire area during the weekends.

Your one stop to get your bubbletea! You won’t regret it. Cheers.

Liquid Fusion is an awesome go-​to spot for fruit freezes with tapioca (bubble shakes)!! My favorite is the taro fruit freeze with tapioca! The staff is nice and efficient.

Liquid Fusion has become the go-​to spot for bubble tea in the suburbs. It’s outlasted the Starbucks next door, which is incredible to me. I’ve never seen a Starbucks shut down.
I work out of here now, and the co owners and staff are great. My go to spot for remote work or bubble tea.
The only downside is that the WiFi goes out every three hours, starting at 9 am. It can make for frustrating and confusing moments before you remember. I wish they would fix whatever problem makes them schedule the WiFi downtime instead of bringing the network down.

Eh. Liquid Fusion’s only standout feature is that it’s open til midnight and, I think, this may be the only place around here that serves bubble tea. There is luh-​jet nothing else to do here this «late», so Liquid wins by default for filling in that gap. Truly unfortunate though as the space is very whatever. The whole place smells like bathroom (yeah, you know you’ve been there too long when you’re desensitized to it), the décor is terrible, and the seats are dirty. Best to get your drink and leave.
Taro freeze is made with a powder, although the regular fruit freezes are made with fresh fruit. Blended drinks start at $ 4.50, lol. I’m serious. «Life’s too short for cheap coffee», taunts the sign behind the counter. Yeah, okay, Liquid. That said, who the effing eff doesn’t like bubble tea? You can make your own fruit blend if you wish, which is a plus. Just be prepared to slog through hordes of high schoolers and college freshman who can’t go to the bars yet.

5 out of 5.
I’ve been eating their bubble teas for more than 6 years.
This is the second location, I believe, and the original one is located in Northbrook which is far from my home. I’m so glad that they finally opened the other one in Lincolnshire.
1. THE BEST BUBBLE TEA — I’ve tried so so many other bubble tea places, but hands down this place has the best bubble tea. Their tapioca is so soft and chewy that my brother started eating it who used to HATE it.
If you like strawberry and can’t resist to sweet flavor, please try strawberry dream flavor.
You won’t regret and are gonna get that flavor for the rest of your life.
My favorite bubble tea place!
2. Service is okay — It really depends on the worker. Some are very friendly, but others are so tired that they can’t even greet customers.
But since they have the best bubble tea, I’ll give 5 stars.

This place would be 5 stars if it weren’t for the price. For regular smoothie it is $ 4…
Granted they have a lot of flavors here, you can have tapioca added (bubbles) or jelly for extra cost. They also have small pastries, like mini cheesecake and other types of bottled beverages like sparkling water or juice. They also serve coffee and latte here. They also have wifi and plenty of seating and study space for you to relax. Overall it is a nice ambiance, they have extra straws available for you so you don’t have to ask.

This is a brightly lit, high energy stop, full of texters and laptops. I can see why there is a buzz and energy from these customers. The high marks are understandable.
Howevah! I’ve been scouting out latte locations lately. Came here for that only. Latte was Starbucks quality which is good ‘okay’, but didn’t feel it was anything special.

I love their bubble tea (especially green tea freeze: D) but the location’s layout is really weird and inconvenient. There are plenty of tables but the pathway from ordering to picking up the order is so narrow that bumping in to people is inevitable… so 1 star knocked off. I definitely recommend getting it to-​go bc it’s SUPER LOUD I CAN’T HEAR ANYONE SOMETIMES. hehe ‘
Highly recommend the strawberry coconut + lychee jelly or the green tea freeze.

Whats not to love about Liquid fusion smoothies?
I recommend getting the green tea with raspberry=heaven

One visit and I am sold! Open late, friendly staff, delicious drinks.
I ordered the avocado freeze with boba (only comes in large, FYI), and my husband the spiced chai freeze with boba. Totally delicious flavors and creamy smooth textures.
First, the avocado. I would never have guessed mine was avocado in a taste test. I’ve been wanting to try an avocado shake for a long time, so when the opportunity presented itself, I pounced. It’s just a sweet, but not too sweet, almost vanilla custard-​y flavor. If you are not a fan of avocado, like my husband, this might not convert you, surprisingly to me! He still didn’t care for it, but it just can’t be due to flavor because, I just didn’t detect it, but, take that for what you will.
His spiced chai was exceptional I’d say, in that the chai is strong with tho one ;), just how I like it. I will definitely be ordering that in the future, among others. And I can’t forget the press-​n-​seal lids you poke your straw through. I don’t know why, but I just think it’s genius! Seems like more eco-​friendly, but I have no idea and can’t back that up. Lol
They have small pastry items that were inexpensive and a nice little gnosh, though I didn’t try any. And I did wonder what happens to all these when they are still hanging around at midnight or 1, as they were at our visit. Do they serve them the next day? I don’t know.
They are open late, til 1 am on Friday & Saturday nights, much appreciated. The interior is cute, sleek and I enjoyed the wrap around window counters. It was also a perfect night for the outdoor tables, which we missed on the way in. Sad face. Haha We happily paid $ 9 for our drinks, and though it might be a bit higher than other places, it’s not by much, plus, mine was so large I couldn’t finish it, and these were phenom. Yum yum yum!
