Mentioned in: The Best Places to Drink Bubble Tea in Montreal

Review Summary

Reviews of Presotea show a mixed picture: some customers in Montreal's Chinatown report terrible service and double charges, suggesting the store should be shut down, while others praise the drinks for freshness and flavor, with mango and fruit drinks highlighted as particularly enjoyable. Positive notes include fresh ingredients, tea brewed to order, and refreshing options that feel healthier than many bubble teas, along with generous portions for larger sizes. However, some critiques point to a small, cramped space that makes waiting uncomfortable, and a few complaints mention too much sugar in the fruit drinks and an unpleasant tapioca texture in one case. Overall, the offerings are described as tasty and refreshing, especially for mango lovers, but service quality and store size appear to vary by visit.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, patrons praise Terrasse Carla for its stunning rooftop view and lively, stylish ambiance that makes it a top spot for summer drinks and celebrations in Montreal, with the space and music frequently highlighted as a major plus and the venue described as beautiful and well designed for events like bridal showers. Service is often noted as friendly and attentive, especially at the bar, yet experiences vary with some guests facing long waits, inconsistent timing of courses or drinks, and occasional gaps in service. Some reviews mention a limited or pricey menu and variable food quality, including concerns about freshness, while others rave about generous portions and delicious dishes; several comments also reflect a sense that the place leans toward a sexy chic vibe rather than a family friendly setting, influencing expectations about dress and crowd. Despite these mixed notes, many still call Terrasse Carla a standout terrace in Montreal, with elevated views and a vibrant atmosphere that invite returning for the experience, drinks, and special occasions.View restaurant profile
