Bubble Tea

Review Summary

Real Fruit Bubble Tea reviews paint a mixed picture: some customers praise friendly service, quick drink preparation, and fresh fruit options like orange juice, strawberry banana smoothies, and real fruit slush, while others report language barriers and a lack of French service in Quebec, along with slow or indifferent staff. Several comments describe instances of miscommunication or misprepared drinks, including an order where the drink was made with water and ice instead of juice and a smoothie that tasted overly sweet from powdered milk. On the plus side, drinks such as taro sherbet with boba and mango barbotine are described as delicious, and several patrons highlight good energy from new staff or friendly assistance from a helpful employee. Complaints about waiting times persist, with notes of drinks arriving after long waits and of a single employee seeming overwhelmed or indifferent. Overall Real Fruit Bubble Tea appears to offer quality fruit forward beverages, but service consistency and language accommodations vary.View restaurant profile
