OK OK, so read the below message with a little perspective. I just saw a guy compare Fusion Brew to Starbux. To be fair, Fusion Brew is 1000 times better than Starbux. Doesnt mean I love the place, but Ive got a heart. OK, so this is going to be confusing. Im writing a middling review. The drinks were always good (chai tea, cool!). The staff are nice people. My complaints are mostly because I have a huge chip on my shoulder. I just hate coming here. My GF liked it, I jsut couldnt stand it. If youre reading this, and youre attending Illinois Wesleyan, go to Fusion Brew. Youll fit right in if youre female and your parents own a Lexus. If you get pumped about bobas, cool, come here. If you like adding flavors to your coffee, rad, youll flip your lid for sure. If a coffee shop with apples to apples tucked away on a shelf in the corner turns you on, then bam, this is your place. I just find Fusion Brew unbearably lame :(

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.

Huge tea shop next to the university campus. Two big rooms with lots of tables and outlets. A number of couches and comfy chairs too. Free wifi with password. Counter area is a bit slick, but rest feels homey. Rock on audio at reasonable volume. Few people here on a summer weekend morning. Chai is from a vile powder which the barista was not allowed to name, weirdly. But theres a great selection of loose leaf teas, as well as lots of bubble teas and slushes. A small but good selection of pastries.

Alternative caffeine stop with a menu and barista attitude that more than makes up for the lack of the [cliche] painted-black-exposed-ceiling and huge-art-hanging-everywhere coffee shop atmosphere. The chai flavors are unique, there are enough coffee options to serve up practically all tastes, and I seem to be addicted to the White Chocolate Symphony such that I have stopped by for it more than I stop at the coffee places in my own city 2 hours from Fusion.

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!

I tried the Extreme Toffee Coffee with an added shot of espresso. It was scrumptious! Better than starbucks and right up there with coffeehound. This regular sized drink cost me just under $5. A tad pricey for college students but it is worth it! Great flavor; everything i enjoy about coffee and the flavor.

Fushion Brew is by far the best coffee/tea place in town (I still like Sbucks, but Fushion Brew is better!). I was hooked when I ordered my first hot Fushion Chai. I love the new place too, and the location couldnt be better. I will be leaving the Blo-No area and this is one of the top things I will miss!

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.

I work right up the road from this place, so whenever I need a cup of coffee or tea this is my place to go. It is close and convenient to ISU for students, and they have a large place that you dont feel crowded if you just want to sit and enjoy a drink. Love this place

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.

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!

Has great seating, leather chairs, bar tables with high seats, coffee is cheap but not that strong and only a buck for refills, lots of outlits for phones and labtops, very good place for a hangover and to relax!

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

Kudos for being THE place in town for good bubble tea. I asked for the baristas flavor reccomendation and got a half banana half coconut milk tea. Its become my favorite. Consistently good service.

I love their drinks- especially the mango black tea!!! It gets very busy in the evenings, especially during exam cram times, but it is a lovely meeting place with delicious drinks and snacks.

prices are fair, the atmosphere is good its a nice place to study. I wish they included some breakfast sandwiches or some sort of limited food menu. The owner is great.

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.

Great place to hang out with friends, study, or relax with a cup of goodness. All of the beverages Ive had at Fusion Brew were nothing short of extraordinary.

Consistently excellent lattes. Pumpkin pie latte is my favorite. I can usually get it all year round. Great place to study or meet with friends.

As a college student this is my favorite place to get homework done. Employees are friendly, drinks are delicious and the wifi is reliable.

Nice atmosphere and a different kind of menu than most places around the area make this place a refreshing break from Normal life.

Meh, nothing really special about this place. Id take a Starbucks anytime. The atmosphere feels like a library with less books.
