Came here a couple of times after finding out about it here on Yelp. Like most people said, it 's kind of hard to find at first. The entrance is on the northeast corner of the building and you 'll think you 're walking into the restaurant next door, but there 's a small sign for it on the window. Between my two visits, I got a green milk tea, black milk tea with boba, ube latte, Animal Style smoothie/frozen boba (Animal Style is strawberry, blueberry, mango, and pineapple , mango fruit tea with boba, and passion fruit fruit tea with boba (not all for me, by the way . The milk teas are on the sweeter side, even with no sugar added. Boba had a good texture to it. Ube latte is their house speci...
OMG yum! This place hit the spot. I found this place through social media and its filipino menu items caught my attention (I'm filipino lol). You also get $1 off your order through yelp fyi! It's located inside a restaurant, it wasn't hard to find at all. They have street parking or you can park in the parking lot across the street. I loved the aesthetic the minute I walked in. Spacious place with lots of room to hangout with friends. They have an extensive menu which I love! Can't wait to try it all. I ordered the frozen ube with boba! DELICIOUS! It tasted just like the motherland. It's definitely on the sweeter side which I love. The taste down to the quality of the presentation impressed...
Lots of options to pick from. Everything from espresso drinks to milk tea, to boba, and fruity drinks with calamansi (a Filipino citrus fruit). Truly a little something for everyone... I ordered my go to- brown sugar milk tea with boba and a frozen taro. Both were equally delicious. The brown sugar milk tea had just enough brown sugar to milk ratio. I'm not a fan of too much boba, so I went easy on it and it was plenty enough for me. It had the right chewy consistency, which I also appreciate. Hard boba can ruin your drink- and luckily this place did not disappoint. The place is lounge like, with plenty of seating options, including some couches. They also have ping pong tables set up.

Brew Lounge located In Des Plaines, IL is a cafe/lounge. I went on a Saturday night, and it was super busy. Most tables were filled with people drinking various drinks. Some people were playing table tennis and others were playing on the Nintendo Switch. I ordered Calamansi Juice with lychee jelly. This was a great drink. There was a combination of sweet and sour but it was well balanced. I personally don't like drinks super sweet, but ordering 100% sugar wasn't too sweet for me. I haven't had the best experience with boba-like drinks in the suburbs, but this place surprised me with a good experience. The staff were super friendly, and I would go again in the future.

I'm so glad I discovered a new cafe that has ube!! I loved the vibes in here: cozy, fun, good for younger people/college kids. There's video games you could play, a ping pong table, lots of seating, fun music, and there are some couches too! Wide variety of items on the menu to choose from. Staff was great. I got the iced ube latte with a shot of espresso delicious. my friend ordered the frozen mango with tapioca he really enjoyed that. The location is a little more hidden than others but it's right by a mural and there's parking out front. Can't wait to try this place again!
The iced raspberry white mocha had such a good strong espresso flavor to it which I really enjoyed. The one thing was that this drink was particularly too sweet for me and I'd probably ask for it less sweet next time if possible. I've been looking for spots to study which this place offered free wifi and two big tables with outlets which is a plus! However, the cafe ambiance had more of a hangout feel to it and less for a place to study or work in which is okay, but definitely to note for some. The music was a bit on the louder side.
Came here on a Tuesday night and it was packed!! We barely got a seat! I love the artwork around the place as well! There is also a ping pong table and a game station with consoles hooked up! Ube boba w lychee jelly: was interested in how Ube would be different from taro which would usually be my go to! As expected they are very similar, maybe the texture was not what I was used to? I got a regular and it was enough to satisfy my craving. The amount of lychee jelly was very generous as well! 7.9/10
We drove pretty far to try Brew Lounge and we were a little disappointed overall. What we ordered: *Ube milk tea 5/10 flavor was good but not amazing. *Green milk tea 3/10. flavor was off and a little bitter *Brown sugar milk tea 3/10 Texture of the boba was ok but was too sweet even after trying mix it. There's so much on the menu that I'm sure we could try again and see what else they have.

All time favorite cafe, love the low key vibe of it. The owners are really nice as well as the aesthetic on the inside of the cafe. Have such a variety of drinks, I always make myself try something new. Ube Milk Tea is definitely on the top of my list but this time we tried Taro Milk Tea with Tapioca 8/10 and Passion Fruit Tea with Passion Fruit Tapioca 10/10. Highly recommend!
