Crema's Take
“Lina's earned its reputation as the area's best boba spot with consistently fresh tapioca and a brown sugar milk tea that keeps regulars coming back for years, plus they nail creative flavor combinations like ube and horchata that go beyond standard bubble tea offerings. The staff moves fast and keeps things friendly even during the busy rushes, and their generous portions at reasonable prices make it feel like an actual treat rather than a quick caffeine grab. If you're in Glenview and want reliable, flavorful boba with real fruit smoothies and frozen yogurt options, this is legitimately worth the detour.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Best boba spot in the area for sure. The tapioca is always fresh, and the brown sugar milk tea is so good. Everyone who works here is super nice, and the service is always great. This is my go-to spot whenever I want boba.
My children and I have been coming here since they opened! we've lived in the area for about 20 years now Staff is friendly and service is very prompt It can get busy at times so plan accordingly! Pitaya bowl and piña colada boba smoothie is my favorite!
Great options at amazing prices and friendly staff who made my smoothie less sweet with real fruits. Very generous quantity. Nice Filipino and Mexican flavors like ube, horchata and halo halo.
Tried this place roughly a year ago after having dinner nearby and wandering around Old Orchard Mall. Lina's is definitely a real treat with an array of teas, bubble teas, coffee and fro-yo. When it comes to bubble tea, my now 10-year-old is happy as long as they have Taro on…
The boba tea was outstanding. We were also wanting to get the frozen yogurt but it was not clear what we would get for the mid sized cup as you cannot self serve like in yogurt zone. We were condfused and So we did not end up buying this.
