I’ve been frequenting Fusion Brew for with some regularity for the better part of the last decade, and it’s consistently been my favorite local coffee shop. The quality of both their beverages and customer service has always been stellar. They have a solid year-round menu while also rotating fun seasonal drinks and treats. Fusion Brew is a very clean and cute cafe with an all-around welcoming feel. I love this place and highly recommend it.
Im not really someone who goes out for coffee much but this is my ideal place in town. They have a chocolate banana mocha thing thats absolutely fantastic.
What a cool place! I bet everything on the menu is excellent, its a little overwhelming to have so many choices especially for an indecisive person like me! I ended up getting an iced mocha and my husband got a passion fruit slush. We were both very satisfied with our choices...both were made perfectly! I love how they seal the top of your cup instead of using plastic lids. I have never seen that before! Hopefully more places will start using this.Will definitely be back to try some boba!
Always a guilty pleasure coming in for an iced blended coffee. Incredible every time!Beware of the low hanging ceiling lamps—I’ve knocked my head on them before!
They discriminated against me and was the worst service I have ever had. Would not recommend.
I actually really enjoy fushion. My go to drink is a mango snow and its really good. Lately, it seems like the past few times Ive ordered from them something is usually wrong with my drink. They are sometimes out of ingredients and they dont really say anything they just make the drink without whatever you originally asked for instead of asking if you wanted any substitutes. Ive gotten a plain snow without any pearls. Ive gotten a slushie instead of a snow before. So Id say its really good, but I dont recommend ordering online because there isnt much communication on their end.
I emailed Fusion Brew and they took the time to look up what I ordered and gave me recommendations on what I might like and to order half flavor, since Almond is one of the strongest flavors they have. Also recommended Fusion Milk Tea which is similar to Royal Milk Tea. I wish I could give 10 stars after this very pleasant exchange. Thank you Sarah!My original post was 3 stars :I love the atmosphere and the staff. Bubble tea is very different from regular that Ive had. Its more just very strong flavoring and milk. Ill go back and try something else, but dont recommend the Bubble tea.
I love this place they have REAL boba in like peoriaAnd great base line recommendations over all love it :]
Awesome boba drinks! A cute little shops to stop and get a drink along our road trip! The chili mango drink was phenomenal!
I lived in Blo-No for 12 years and have since moved away, but any time Im back in town Fusion Brew is a daily stop! Their blended turtle drink is amazing!
One of the best small coffee shops Ive been to! Fantastic iced latte.
The place is very cozy and the pumpkin spice latte is a must try
I have only got boba here, but thats because the boba is great.
Tastes great each time we visit. Doesnt matter if its for bubble tea or coffee
The staff did very well helping us pick out our drinks. My fiance and I had never been there before, nor have we had Boba Tea. We both enjoyed our drinks, will definitely return.
I guess they have tea jellies or something?! I dunno. I was there to do some work and have a coffee bc Bloomington likes a three day weekend and it seems like everything reopens on Tuesday! So it was my go-to coffee shop on Monday.
Some of the best bubble teas Ive had and very reasonable prices!
A fun place to hangout, with an amazing vibe and great selection of brewed coffees and teas!
Their coffee and flavours for coffee are VERY good! I highly recommend! I can also suggest their boba and tea :) I believe they make all of the boba in house and their jelly boba is to die for :))) I love the pineapple jelly boba! highly recommend!
They were low on Boba and I could only pick between 2. They also didnt have a good selection of slushies. When there is a better selection, I like it.
The baristas put so much work into their drinks and theyre all so friendly. Im in there so frequently that many of them already know my name and have memorized my order! Fusion Brew is definitely one of my Blo-No hotspots.
The shop itself was cute. I loved the stickers and I loved the sugar cookie. However, I have now been to every coffee shop in Blo-no and this was the worst. I had high expectations based on others’ reviews. I went and ordered an iced berry temptatious latte to go. When I got back to my apartment and drank it, there was so much syrup in it, it was like drinking straight sugar. I wasn’t able to taste the espresso. I couldn’t even drink half of it before I threw it out. Was greatly disappointed.
The employees there are just so friendly! I love the vibes here! And don’t even get me started on their milk teas! They aren’t powder it’s alllllll REAL TEA.
While supporting local businesses within my community, I visited Fusion Brew only not to be greeted nor feeling welcomed. After I initiated a greeting, the young lady was crass and did not seem interested in helping me to purchase a gift card stating they no longer had any. I visited 5 other local businesses today and truly felt respected and appreciated as a customer. I will try Coffee Hound in Normal.
My wife and I got electronic gift cards from our church just a couple days ago and decided wed come in this morning and got our favorite drinks. I typically like to add espresso to the Fusion milk tea, sometimes Ill add boba. Good combo!Heres a wishlist item for the online ordering though: Could you possibly add an option in there to request less/more flavoring syrup? We decided not to order online (which would have been more convenient) because there isnt a comments section or customization options, and the normal dose of flavoring syrup makes drinks much too sweet for us really any place we go, so we typically ask for about a fourth or half the syrup. I think others would benefit from this being added as a customization option as well. Even if it was a comment section that was added with say 30 character limits or something
Got a Taro milk boba tea. It was okay. I was expecting more but what can we say, We don’t have much options in the town. Maybe put a little more milk in their drinks.
Excellent decaf chai latte, not watery, not too think, just right.
The drinks themselves are delicious. Milk teas are a solid 5/5 - however, a reason for 3 stars is because the quality of the tapioca (boba balls) is severely lacking. There is not tapioca taste. Its simply a ball of gelatin. If the boba ball quality improves, the overall taste of the boba drinks will improve tremendously. Something to consider!
The workers were super friendly and gave recommendations as it was my first time going. i got boba and it was really good!
Great customer service. Employee took the time to explain the menu and was very nice. And the tea was amazing! Ill definitely be back.
I love their boba tea. Its delicious. And I also love that they are serious about social distancing and Covid. I can just order my tea online and pick it up without directly interacting with people and putting my and others lives in danger.
Great boba
Love the Fusion Tea!
Fusion Brew is the best study and hangout space on campus! The staff are always incredibly nice and its locally owned. You can tell the owners care a lot about the work they do. The drinks are always delicious and Ive honestly never had one I didnt like. Seriously, order anything on the menu. They also have vegetarian and vegan options. I will miss this place nearly when I graduate!
The bubbles in my tea was very firm and hard to chew. The lychee flavor was also very sour and not even close to what it should taste like.
Way too much sugar and cream
First time experience, tapioca a little stiff. Nice staff
Friendly staff and excellent ice blended coffees! It always feels warm and cozy too!
We love Fusion Brew! The coffee is amazing and the staff is always friendly.
Holy Coffee Bubble Tea fusion batman! Ive been to many a craft coffee shop but Fusion is one of the best. The baristas create some sort of magic and the result is delicious. Forewarning - the parking lot absolutely sucks and if the strip that Fusion is located in is busy, it can be quite a headache. However, dont let this deter you from some bomb drink creations.TL;DR, French Mint Mocha. Youre welcome.
We really enjoy stopping at Fusion Brew in our travels. Try the Fusion Chai!!
Love their coffee! The people who work here are great, awesome customer service! Very clean and relaxing environment.
Ordered the Irish Almond iced coffee...so yummy.
Just take out cause covid but If you get French Mint mocha, blended.no whip... you shall experience delight
I cant find anything close to this shop in terms of quality. Its really that good.
Excellent beverage and snack options, (highly recommend their chai tea!) Great environment for studying, homework, meeting with friends, and playing games. Versatile seating options and clean bathrooms. Overall awesome hang out spot!P.S. Did I mention the drinks were amazing?!
Was told they dont mix taro and honey dew so were going to boba for life where they do mix taro and honey dew
Nice little coffee place tucked away. Clean, friendly atmosphere. Lots of seating perfect for bringing a laptop. They have coffee, teas, and specialty drinks as well as baked goods. Their coffee is pleasantly good, with lots of choices sure to suit your needs. If youre looking for a coffee joint to get some work done, or just hangout this is a great choice!
Decently fast and courteous service. The drink I had was actually better tasting than a Starbucks comparative. The Fusion Brew version could have used a little more coffee flavor to be allowed to produce itself. Other than that I would definitely return when in the area and in need of a delicious coffee.
Delicious food and drinks with such a wide variety to find just what youre looking for. Even if you dont like bubble tea, they serve an incredible hot chocolate! Parking can be hard to come by at times, but its certainly worth it. A comfy and quiet place to sit and relax or study, Fusion Brew is a delight to have in Central Illinois.
They need to change the chairs
Personally its my favorite beverage place in town. I live out of town and I will make the trip to come get some boba tea from here. I think everything is very reasonably priced and tastes great. Everything comes out super quickly. It is a very comfortable place to unwind and study. I would give more stars if I could.
Fantastic coffee
Very comfortable and cozy place to hang out with friends or even enjoy your lone time to get your work done. Good choice in menu with moderate pricing. The best thing I like about Fusion Brew is that it is one of the fewest hangout place in town that are open late in the evening for a cup of coffee.
Better flavored coffee than Starbucks or coffeehouse. always clean and nice workers. the muffins are lit too.
Good service and tasty beverages. Excellent atmosphere.
😨
This is the go-to spot for bubble tea and sugary coffee treats. The banana milk tea is the best in the world (believe me, Ive tried finding it elsewhere)
Great variety of coffee and teas. My favorite coffee shop.
Great place to study. They have limited popping boba options but I love the ones they have!
Many choices from coffee to bubble teas, to slushes in many fun flavors. A good place to hang out or meet with friends. Often busy with students.
One of my favorite spots for refreshing drinks. Welcoming, cozy location with great seasonal specialties. Highly recommended!
Friendly and upbeat atmosphere. Cant go wrong with any of their bubble tea or coffee drinks (hot or frozen). Favorites include: banana milk tea, double fudge mocha, white chocolate symphony, turtle... Try them all!
Nice and homey place to sit and read a book. Extremely friendly staff who are always happy to help. The drinks are a fun experience and theres always something new to try! Dont be afraid to ask the barista for their suggestions
Small little shop with great environment. In love with this chill and relaxing place.
Its pretty comfy and the drinks are all pretty good, but it has a weird grandma feel. Normally that isnt a problem but with it being in campus it doesnt fit my ideal coffee housevibes.
Best green tea in town! I honestly have not had a drink here that I didn’t like so even when you panic order because they have a large menu, it will turn out alright!
Quick, easy service, quiet but homey, great quality beverages, and happy staff.
First of all they are one of two places in town to get bubble tea and are by far the superior. Im a frequent customer and am pretty much always happy with my drink. The atmosphere is great but it is used for a meeting spot a lot so its not the best place for alone time though Ill push myself to study here because the tea is that good. The staff will give you samples of most things if you ask and theyre all very knowledgeablenif youre new to the world of (bubble) tea/coffee. Would definitely recommend this place.
This place is always great and I have been a customer for 7 years since my first visit to their original location! I live out of state now and make sure to come here every time I am in Normal. Try the taro tea or one of their many chai versions. You wont be disappointed.
The staff and menu make sure I never leave unhappy. They know me and conversations are always nice. Best tea in town. My favorite place to be.
Hands down my favorite coffee spot in the area. This place blows Starbucks away! Great atmosphere, awesome coffee, and a bit of anonymity make this a great place to relax, listen to music, read a book, whatever. Love this place!
Very friendly and fast service
DONT GET THE WATERMELON SLUSH! It was too sweet and tasted nothing like watermelon. I went there to spend time with a friend, and their game is selection is okay, but most of them are missing peices. Overall its a neat place to spend some time. Just dont get the Watermelon slush.
Great drink options, absolutely delicious. Employees are incredibly nice and helpful. Often whenever my drink order even takes slightly too long theyll give me a bigger size to compensate. The atmosphere is chill and they have board games for you to play. Can get busy during the evenings and weekends. They have the best-cooked boba in town!
My favorite place! The fusion milk tea with boba is the most delicious drink I have ever had - and everything else I have tried is amazing too. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.
Fantastic boba and a really cute shop.
This place is so cute and everything they serve is DELICIOUS!
The best for Boba! Love them!
I make sure to visit here about once a week to get some boba tea. I really enjoy their extensive variety of drinks and the friendly and dedicated staff. The store itself is a great chill spot with plenty of seating. They offer coffee, tea, and other victuals.
Fusion Brew is one of my favorite places to go to. Relaxed atmosphere, tons of space compared to a lot of other coffeshops. It is awesome. I have heard they are famous for Bubble tea, but I get the Italian Soda or something mocha.
LOVE THIS PLACE!! Great drinks, great friendly service. So far my favorite drinks are the Mango tea with Boba and the banana fudge mocha.
Friendly service & inexpensive
Delicious boba milk tea, chill place to study or just talk with friends. Staff is cool af
Love this place and try to go there every time Im in town.
I love the Taro Tea! Always a good space to get things done. I love showing visitors this Blono staple!
We love Fusion Brew! It is our top choice for anything coffee or tea! The iced vanilla chai with boba is my favorite! My husband loves the fusion with yogurt pop! We love the environment in there too!! There are always friendly faces and someone to catch up with!!
Great local place! Drinks are really good! Atmosphere is okay...hard to find seating sometimes.
Love this place. Better than Starbucks. I love their Chi Tea. Its delicious. I hate how theres not many non-chain coffee places left. Im glad this place exists.
Always amazing coffee and tea. Cute place to hang out too. Staff is always friendly.
BEST PLACE EVER!!! Unique delicious drinks that aren’t crazy expensive like every other coffee shop. My go to place always
Best coffe, best surface
Fancy teas and coffees with an exceptional variety of choices. The only place I know of in the area that has boba and pop boba. The teas are sort of bitter. I always add extra water and they are fine. Service is quick and friendly. There is ample seating if you want to bring your laptop and work. It is clean. They also sell cups, t-shirts, and sweatshirts. They also serve a small variety of baked goods.
Cute girls work here sometimes. So like, get some coffee here..
Nice setting. First time there, I had coconut bubble tea with boba, and my wife had a vanilla peppermint snow. Disliked my drink, the flavor was off and the boba had a gummier texture than others Ive tasted in the past. My wifes was pretty good though. Would like to try again and get coffee based drinks instead.
It had a lot of options for teas and drinks that I didnt know even existed. It has lots of tables and even some games to play with friends while drinking your drink. It has a laid back and trendy vibe
