Meet Jackie Kotarba
What is the story behind your business' name?

The Heartwarming Journey Behind 'Hello Boba' At the core of every memorable brand is a story that connects and inspires. For us at Hello Boba, that story begins not in the bustling streets of Chicago or within the confines of our vibrant food truck, but in the laughter-filled moments shared with my children. Bubble tea has always been more than just a beverage in our home; it's a symbol of joy, a catalyst for cherished conversations, and a shared passion that brings us all together. Watching my kids' eyes light up with excitement at the very mention of bubble tea, their eager anticipation as they watch the pearls dance at the bottom of their cups, and the smiles that spread across their faces with each sip—it was in these moments that Hello Boba was born. "Why not," I thought, "spread this joy further?" Why not take this love for bubble tea—a love that had brought my family so many happy moments—and share it with the world? And so, Hello Boba emerged, not just as a business, but as an extension of our home's warmth and happiness, brought to the streets of Chicago. Hello Boba is more than just Chicago's first prime Bubble Tea Food Truck; it's a testament to the simple joys that can be found in life's little moments. It's a reminder of the laughter, the conversations, and the connections that can be fostered over a shared love for something as delightful as bubble tea. As a woman and minority-owned business, we're not just serving up delicious milk teas, fruit refreshers, and smoothies with an array of boba and jelly toppings; we're inviting you to be part of our story, to find a moment of joy in your day, and to say, "Hello!" to happiness with every sip. Welcome to Hello Boba, where every cup tells a story, and every sip brings a smile.
