In Chinatown it is often considered worth stopping by for a quick drink and some call it the best bubble tea in Canada. Strawberry shakes with real fruit chunks are a standout while mango drinks can have an aftertaste. Late night visits find the pearls fresh and drinks well balanced, with a passionfruit green tea with boba and coconut jelly noted for its flavor and the option to adjust ice and sugar. Drawbacks mentioned include mango green tea tasting too much like tea, grass jelly arriving in large chunks, seating being limited, and a French comment noting the milk tea is good but seating remains tight.View restaurant profile
