Best bubble tea in town! Chaque personne à qui j'ai fait découvrir la place l'a adopté!

Everytime I come no Tarot. I understand they don't want to waste it but 4-5 hours before closing you should do a minimum more for customers who are coming especially to your store for it ...! Disappointing.

The service is extremely poor. If possible, I don't even want to give a heart.
Before ordering, my friend asked the waiter if the taro ball were made of fresh taro. She didn't know but said yes & after I told my partner that it was not made of fresh taro, she took out a box full of taro balls & showed it to us?In fact, what she needed was taro puree?So she reconsidered what to order. I thought she was Chinese, so I was afraid that she would misunderstand me & explain it to my partner. I described it in Chinese, but she didn't understand, but their attitude was obviously strongly impatient & urgent after I talked to them in Chinese (but there was no one in the store at this moment). After I read the menu carefully, I found that there was taro puree that my partner needed. I wanted to confirm with them. As a result, another waiter who made tea talked to me directly. If you need to order, wait for a while, in a very uncomfortable & impatient tone. Finally, about the tea, my partner said less ice, but it turned out to be a full cup of ice. I even suspect that it was intentional. Even if such a milk tea shop is opened in Taiwan, as a compatriot, I will not go there again.

In general, I like this bubble tea chain. But the cashier today was impatient & got my order wrong. I wanted 2 dong ding tea with milk. I even pointed for her. But she got the Osmanthus milk tea instead 😅 She walked away after she thinks I was taking too much time on the order. The other cashier was nice

I've tried the same brand bubble tea from LA & Taiwan. The bubble tea from both of the shops were really good but this time it tasted not good & was of less good quality that I couldn't finish. & the service was really bad. The clerk is Asian & I'm Asian too, so I ordered in mandarin & she just ignored me & replied in English. Of course she doesn't have to know mandarin. Either way she could have asked other colleagues for help or replied that she couldn't speak mandarin but she didn't & just ignored me.

We stumbled upon this bubble tea shop, which was tiny with no it was no seats. We weren't too sure what to expect but when we went to order, the expertise was incredible & so were the options. You have your choice of multiple days of which some of the names are quite amusing see the pictures. We are asked what type of tea we want whether we wanted dairy & what kind then whether we wanted it hot or cold & whether we want it, the chewy bubbles which are like gummy bears but way healthier. When they went to make it, I just thought they would just pour hot water with some powder, but oh my God it was quite a process with the very sophisticated machine that looked like a double espresso maker. The order was quite expertly prepared & you can see parts of this from the video where I posted When we tried the drink. It was extremely interesting because it was cold at the bottom with a few ice cubes & then it was hot at the top with the tea. There aren't any seats here, but I highly recommend this as a quick coffee alternative experience for those who like bubble tea.

Très bon & rafraîchissant, à son goût unique. Je le recommande fortement.

Très bon bubble tea avec des ingrédients de qualité dans un beau décor propre. Les employés sont très gentils & patients, ils prennent le temps de conseiller & d'expliquer les différentes combinaisons possibles.

This is the best place to get tea or milk tea. They've won awards in Taiwan!
I personally enjoy the green tea & oolong tea. You can build your own drink with $5.95CAD as the base. I recommend adding fresh milk &/or boba. There's only one size.
I passed by twice during the week & there was no line. Finally when I was here on a Sunday, there was a line out the door. They need AC inside!! It was so hot.
There is no seating inside. It's quite tight inside, barely enough room for a line & a pick up area. There are a couple tables outside under the shade.

Real tea drink with right balance between bitterness combine with sweetness. I got the ice osmanthus oolong & it was so refreshing in this hot day. Line up was very long but waiting time was not too much. The team behind the counter was on fire 🔥 today. Long life to them ✌?
Andreanne
I never want them to close! Finally not powder, but real tea, with the correct cook on the bubbles!

Love the green tea honey or osmanthus honey here. The tea is really flavourful. I think because the tea is freshly brewed per order they keep the size standard. The only thing I wish would be for them to have a bigger size offering but maybe I'm just greedy. Would recommend.
Lucie
De loin le meilleur bubble tea que je n'ai jamais goûté. Aucune autre adresse ne vaut celle ci. En particulier pour la qualité du thé noir & des perles de tapioca. Je recommande absolument !!

Drinks are always good. We are from vancouver so they use different cups. These ones start melting. So drink your drink fast
Daniel
I am a bubble tea fan, but mainly into fruity flavours. They did not want to add boba to anything in those lines though. Maybe a good idea to at least give the option.
Monica
Simply the best place to get boba in Chinatown! I appreciate the strong & complex tea flavors in the drinks. Even with low sugar, it's still flavorful.

If you're looking for an authentic bubble tea place, this is definitely your go-to place. This bubble tea shop is underrated deserves more attention & popularity. The tea is brewed freshly from tea leaves, the bubbles are freshly cooked & thus they are soft & chewy. This makes best bubble tea you can order, contrary to those powdery bubble teas from elsewhere. Very friend staff.
