Chinatown Downtown

Review Summary

Reviews of CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice highlight good tea and friendly staff, with an impression that it is worth a Chinatown detour for solid bubble tea and in some cases the best bubble tea in Canada. Service is noted as excellent, including a correction of a wrong order from another branch that left customers satisfied. Strawberry shakes with real fruit chunks are praised, while the mango shake sometimes has a tea aftertaste. Late night visits describe fresh tapioca pearls and well balanced drinks, with a popular choice of passionfruit green tea with boba and coconut jelly, ordered with less ice and regular sugar. Other points mention wishing for more boba, and grass jelly arriving in large chunks that require breaking. A taro classic bubble tea is seen as nice, and a French language note recommends the milk tea but mentions seating is limited.View restaurant profile
