Avalanche Bubble Tea

This is the place to go when you’re craving for some bubble tea or any type of liquid. Love this place.

I ordered taro coconut milk tea but got something like smoothie and there’s no tea in it at all…

Ordered cantaloupe mango and passion fruit mango. Made within 5 min. The flavors really popped and it had a good amount of sweetness. Pretty darn good, and so close to the Best Western I stay it. I only wish they had snacks like chicken. And they don’t take AMEX. But that’s okay, $ 9.50 for 2.

I have been going here for years, and I still love it. My only complaint is how crowded it can get. It seems to be a big hang out for young people on the weekends. I guess since the hookah place closed they tend to stick around that area.
Tapioca is free with your drink here!

I don’t want to make a review based on anything else than coffee. Because anything else it’s ok. The big problem there is this: they don’t know how to make a coffee !!!
When you pay almost $ 4 on cup of coffee, you expect to drink coffee no water. If I need water I can have it for free.
There is one employee names Dee, if you need good coffee ask for her. If you don’t see her car (Toyota Camry Black) in parking lot, you can go to an another place.
Don’t waste your money, keep your day fresh.

This place is dangerously addictive. We live about 5 minutes away and ever since I got my husband hooked, we order bubble tea at least 3 times a week from here.
I have been going to Avalanche (formerly Chill Bubble Tea and also called O! Bubble Tea) for over 5 years. My husband and I usually split a large Lychee with Tapioca (our favorite). Occasionally I’ll get my own and order their french vanilla almond which is just amazing — it’s like the liquid form of almond cake. I’ve tried their Taro Coconut which was good, along with Mango, Cantaloupe and Honeydew.
Avalanche is always busy, but always very quick with orders. Better then local competitors and Joyees.

The majority of bubble tea here is made from powder, and I’m not the biggest fan of powder bubble tea.
However, the fried banana flavor is really interesting. I’ve never seen it before. It really does taste like a fried banana. They add corn flakes to it, giving it «fried batter» flavor and a grainy texture, which actually isn’t it bad at all.
It’s not terrible but not my favorite bubble tea place.

This location has to be my favorite. The one in Skokie is a no no. They make the best bubble tea! The service is fast even when they are super busy. The Staff are friendly. & it’s a clean place.

I like this place. I haven’t been there in a while but I like their bubble tea. Yumo.

I came here with my friend after king spa. A lot of young kids hanged out here. A lot of drink choices and I believe you will find a good one. I like my taro coconut. The decorations are nice but a bit noisy inside, but that’s fine and I will still give 5 stars.

Searching a place for good bubble tea then I found this place. First time and I think this will be my last time. Too icy. I cough so hard after drinking half of the cup. It has the same price with most of places. Wont go back.

Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants some really good bubble tea. This place may get busy at times but the wait is worth it. I’m from nyc, where bubble tea is everywhere, but when I first tried avalanche, it was amazing. Truly going to miss this gem, hopefully I can visit soon and go to avalanche!

Today’s trip to Avalanche was incredibly disappointing. While taking a drink from my avocado avalanche, I consumed pieces of plastic, and some tin foil, which were definitely blended with the drink. Furthermore, the tapioca pearls were old. I understand that they shrink in cold beverages, but even so, they still retain their dark brown /​black color. My tapioca pearls were more of a light brown like day old bubbles. (Source: I used to work at a bubble tea place.) Needless to say. I am extremely disappointed by this lack of care.

This was my second time visiting Avalanche bubble tea. Personally, I love any restaurant or bubble tea place that sells taro flavor, and that’s really the only flavor I get. I do like their taro bubble tea here because it’s not overly sweet (I ask to lessen the sugar) and doesn’t have that grimy/​gritty feeling from powdered mixes. There is a wide array of flavors to choose from – some powdered mix and some fresh fruit. You can also have your tea hot, so really there’s pretty much a flavor to satisfy anyone.
The drinks themselves are a good value for the sizes. The large seems to be a little under 16 fl oz, so it’s quite large. The tapioca pearls are optional add-​on but free with each drink (I’m assuming not everyone who goes to a bubble tea place is a fan of those, but go figure?). You can also add other goodies inside your drink for an extra charge.
The inside itself is a cozy café and seats about 10 or so people. The employees were very friendly as well. I definitely always try to stop by this place whenever I’m in the area, but I never really stay because there’s always teenagers there (the only downside for me).

Our apartment was literally not «viable» for us internet-​dependent human beings in the year of 2015. We had no power, no way to surf the web, no ability to catch up the Cubs baseball, and weren’t fond of living in the dark. Therefore, we sneaked out to get some iced bubble teas.
I found Avlanche Bubble Tea on Unilocal,for it opens late until 2300 hour on the weekdays. They have a massive menu. I narrowed down to the fruity options and went with the mango passion fruit.
On the other hand, making bubble tea flavors «capitalistic» apparently gave hubby a huge headache! He just couldn’t make up his mind on what he wanted. Speaking of rendering great customer service, the young lady at the register should have jumped in and made her recommendation (s). However, she just stood still. Come on, girl! Don’t you hate indecisive people when you’re dealing with customers? Fortunately, there was no one behind us at that time. I took hubby out of the misery by shouting out «peach berry» and got this dilemma out of our way!
While their tapioca pearls were slightly «tough» to my liking, the drinks were absolutely ice-​cold and delicious! They have super comfy sofa, appropriate air-​conditioning, and working free wifi. I can easily hang out here for hours and perhaps fall asleep (zZ…)!
Avalanche Bubble Tea is located at the commercial plaza on the corner of Dempster and Ferris in Morten Grove. I’m definitely digging this place and will make a point of coming back here when I can.

Avalanche bubble tea is bubbilicious, yes you heard me, I said bubbilicious. One day I was fanatically craving bubble tea and my fiancé suggested that we wander over to Avalanche which I was more than happy to try out. I’m so very glad that I did because their bubble tea was super sweet and catered to my sweet tooth perfectly!
Both my fiancé and I ordered the Thai tea and coconut bubble tea with tapioca… it couldn’t have been any better! There were so many tapioca balls at the bottom — it was so totally awesome! As I said already, the bubble tea itself was super sweet and had I drank it any faster I would have had a major brain freeze. I wish I’d had a Trenta size of this bubble tea — I’m so serious.
I will definitely be going back to Avalanche to test out several of their other flavors and combinations. There is an infinite number of flavors that you can combine here (though I can’t guarantee all the combinations will be good) and there’s probably something for everyone here.
The only thing I wasn’t particularly fond of was the décor. It was a little odd, but more than that it was dirty. The floor was dirty and so were the couches and chairs. The couches and chairs were dingy, ripped up and looked like they should be hitting the dumpster soon. I would recommend going to Avalanche, ordering a drink and getting it to go.

Congratulations Avalanche! You just earned my 1^st bad review.
I ordered a Chocolate Banana Bubble Tea. I did not like it. I let the girl at the register know it was not to my liking and that I’ll be ordering something else. I gave it back to her. To my surprise SHE CHARGED ME for the next drink! I let her know I felt it was not fair to get charged for 2 drinks. She went back to her «manager» to have a discussion about this. She returned and refunded me the money for the 2^nd drink. Dumb dumb business is an understatement!
Thank you for the refund Avalanche. Unfortunately I’m still annoyed I needed to ask for a refund.

So many different combination of flavors to choose from! I have to say that the fried banana bubble shake is awesome. Not really a fan of choco banana or purple oreo bubble shakes…

My snapchat buddies would know this is my second home. I’m here almost every week while visiting my baby cousin near Hmart.
BEST BUBBLE TEA PLACE AROUND! I have to say they’re better than joyees because it’s not SUPER busy, the décor is cute, customer service is amazing, and they also use fresh fruit!
My favorite flavors are Taro, Strawberry, Mango, Mango Peach (tastes more like mango surprisingly), and Honey Dew.

On a quest for great bubble tea. This is ok, not great. And the owner seems to have a lot of «rules» he won’t make dairy free, he won’t make it without sugar, etc. you may want to go elsewhere for bubble tea.

I was in the area after going to Old Orchard and was craving a milk tea. I am almost always craving milk tea and would probably drink it ²⁴⁄₇ if I could afford the diabetes.
So i found this place on Unilocal,and ended up coming here to pick up a large milk tea. Prices include boba!!! I don’t ever order boba with my milk tea though because it has too many extra calories. Plus, the boba is rarely sweet enough for my liking.
The large milk tea here is $ 4.50 which is pretty average for the area, they have a huge assortment of different blended drinks to order! I am not a huge fan of blended drinks because they are too heavy for me, but if you are looking for a pick me up in the middle of the day come here and try one out!
