My girlfriend and I came here on a rainy Tuesday evening and the place was packed! Even though there was a line, it didn't take us long to make our way to the front to order. Their menu had a wide variety of drinks and toppings. They even had snacks(Pocky and other Korean snacks) for sale on the counter!
The cashier was super friendly and saw that we weren't sure what to order and she gave us a few recommendations. We decided to place our trust in the cashier and go with the recommendations and they didn't disappoint. My girlfriend ordered a medium Rosehip Lemonade with Mango Jelly and I ordered a large Winter Melon Milk Green Tea with Crystal Bubbles.
While waiting for our drinks, I was amazed by the interior design. I have been to many KFTs before but this one definitely had the nicest decor! For a second I thought I was in an art museum but then the bumping Kpop music knocked me out of my daze. Also, the floors were so clean that my Asian instincts kicked in to remind me to take off my shoes!
After receiving our orders, we were able to find a spot to seat ourselves. We sat on the bench side, facing the front counter. It was so comfortable it felt like our butts were on clouds! As soon as I took the first sip of my Winter Melon Milk Green Tea drink, the rain stopped, the sun started to come out, birds were chirping, "I can see clearly now the rain is gone..." played in the back..
...ok I exaggerated but you get the point, this drink was life-changing. As for the taste, it was delicious and refreshing and the texture was SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER! My girlfriend pretty much shared the same sentiment with her Rosehip Lemonade except she wished had ordered a large. Protip - Always order a large for boba drinks.
While relaxing and enjoying our drinks, we noticed that the demographic of the customers was very diverse. People of all ages and backgrounds came in. You know what that means, right? Good boba unites everyone together and brings world peace! When it was finally downtime, we were able to strike up a conversation with the owners. They were a super nice and young couple. They told us a little about their background and about what their mission is at this KFT location. Fun fact, before starting KFT, they were professional dancers. One was a professional C-Walker and the other was a Kpop Idol trainee. MIND = BLOWN. Now, their life mission is to connect with people in the communities of Glenview and provide the highest quality boba drinks! All in all, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had at a boba shop. 10/10 would recommend! Can't wait to go back and try other drinks!
