Reviews of Cuisine Formosa present a mixed verdict: some takeout orders for hand cut braised pork, Taiwanese sausage with egg, and braised egg rice roll look different from the pictures and feel heavy on rice with only a small piece of sausage, while the milk tea can taste watered down and the boba is sometimes too hard. Other diners describe authentic Taiwanese flavors, good prices, and a friendly, laid back atmosphere that makes it feel like a hidden gem worth revisiting. Travelers and locals alike mention the restaurant as a reliable stop for tasty Taiwanese dishes and bubble tea in Montreal, with notes about a ginger milk bubble tea that is rare and well done. Overall, Cuisine Formosa is seen as affordable and satisfying by many, though a few items may miss the mark in presentation or flavor strength.View restaurant profile

CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice reviews show a tea base that stands out and bubble tea that many enjoy, with the tea flavor coming through more than milk or sugar, and the space described as spacious and conducive to studying or working. The vibe is chill but service quality varies from friendly to a bit cold, and prices are noted as higher than some rivals while others find value in simpler options. There is interest in adding flavors such as passion fruit yakult, while the boba is generally decent but not always the freshest. Some ingredients feel healthier while others taste more chemical, and cleanliness is mixed with one note about unclean restrooms though tables are kept tidy. Overall impressions combine solid drink quality and a comfortable environment with occasional inconsistency in service, price, and ingredient options.View restaurant profile
