"Ordered up a peach smoothie and wow! It was really delicious and filling. Perfect for in-between meals while shopping in the really nice Hawthorn Mall! The server gave me the extra smoothie in a tiny cup, which I could give away to let someone else taste test the smoothie!"

"Everytime we come to this mall, this is one of first things we get. We saw a sign saying they had three variety flavors of horchata drinks and we jsut had to give it a try. Our go to is the Cafe horchata but you can get vanilla or chocolate as well if coffee isn't your go too. I've had them all and they are all delicious."

"In the modern world of fancy coffee beverages whether hot or cold, Starbucks seems to come to most people's minds but in the end it really is what you like. I actually started drinking cold canned coffee at the age of 9 growing up a US navy brat in Yokosuka, Japan. I arrive in the states in Nov. '87 and walk up to the nearest coffee shop at O'Hare airport and ask for iced coffee; they haven't a clue what the heck I'm talking about. Anyways I've always wondered if there's certain people out there that drink Starbucks because they actually like the taste or is it a status thing being if you hang around the popular coffee shop then you've got class. I do stop in from time to time at a Starbucks if in the mood for something specific or if one of my family requests to stop at a location. While browsing Hawthorne I rarely stop for coffee whether iced or hot but indeed usually end up at Chill Bubble Tea. Gloria Jean's and I date back to the early 90s when Gurnee Mills opened which was the first time I heard of GJs. Popped in & out of there a few times over the years and sadly they left the mall guessing maybe.....15 years ago? If they make a delicious quality coffee drink such as a macchiato, espresso, frappé type or whatever it is you love then it doesn't matter who it is whether Starbucks, Gloria Jean's, Caribou, Dutch Bros, Hansa Roasters, etc. Remember, it's what YOU like. Stopped in not long ago and got a Mint Chocolate Bomb I think it was called, awesome! Venue was clean, pricing seemed reasonable and customer service was excellent."

"The kiddos and I were doing the glow golf again to get outside the house and we stopped here on our walk around the mall. They have what they call fruit chillers which is basically a smoothie, but I ordered a strawberry/banana and for the money it was very large. I really enjoyed it and would definitely have this again if there was one by our house. We didn't try anything else but when we're back in the area will for sure try something else."

"I love the team at this location they are so sweet and just have great service in general. Their drinks a phenomenal they will always have my business."
