Boba Club, Glenview

Specializing in bubble tea, Boba Club serves a menu of flavor-packed milk teas and fruit freezes that contain chewy tapioca pearls, as well as a selection of coffee drinks and waffle puffs. But it stands out not only for its light and sweet Asian-inspired menu, but also for the shop itself.

Red window-pane doors appear to open into British-style phone booths—when in reality, they let into quiet rooms where customers can study or have a conference call in private. And the shop's name appears across from the bar, studded in light bulbs and surrounded by exposed brick, creating an ambiance of playful sophistication.
