Review Summary

Chicha San Chen is widely regarded as a premier destination for authentic bubble tea in Montreal, consistently praised for its high-quality ingredients and fresh, tea-forward flavor profiles. Patrons frequently highlight the meticulous brewing process and the use of real tea leaves rather than artificial powders, resulting in a refreshing and well-balanced drink that satisfies even the most discerning enthusiasts. While the establishment is primarily a takeout spot with very limited seating and can sometimes experience long queues or inconsistent service, the majority of visitors appreciate the expertise of the staff and the overall sophistication of the menu. Despite occasional concerns regarding pricing, wait times, or limited stock of specific flavors, the shop maintains a strong reputation for delivering a superior, artisanal boba experience that many consider the best in the city.

Amazing bubble tea. The bubbles are actually a bit honey flavored, the best ones I've tasted.
Pity they don't have any room for sitting down. It's just to-go.

The tea has really good flavor, but the price isnt worth it. Plus, we had to wait so long just to order when it wasnt that busy.

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.

Got their Dong Ding Oolong Tea & the tea was brewed so well. Honestly, one of the best boba drinks I've had. The flavors, sweetness, & creaminess were perfectly balanced. I also love the packaging of the sleeve + carrier - so smart & convenient!

I ordered 2 custom drinks with the base Ding Dong Oolong tea+ Fresh milk, no ice & sugar level perfect .. as I walked out the door I looked at the drinks & noticed that the drinks had only tea in it & no milk. I went back & ask politely to add some milk in the drinks. The employee responded to me that they couldn't do it because when they asked me if I wanted any flavors I said no . Well I understand that it can be flavor but don't put + fresh milk in the title of the base then ! So I insisted & they finally did it ... went home took a sip & what a deception ! No sugar whatsoever , the tea flavor tasted old & & too much milky. Also no phone number to be found to call back Always been satisfied until today....

I had the taro king with green tea & honey osmanthus oolong with crystal boba. Liked the green tea but the boba was hard & taro a bit chunky still. It was hard to get through the straw. The osmanthus oolong tea flavor was masked by the crystal boba so didn't really get much tea flavor there. It is pricey & took awhile to come out as they brew the tea fresh & there were a couple of people ahead of me. Definitely don't recommend if you're in a rush. The shop is very small & it gets warm in there. Presentation is very cute. I'd probably come back for a different green tea but really wish the boba wasn't hard.

the bubble tea here is brewed with fresh tea, as I entered the small shop you could smell the freshness of the tea, the bubbles were flavorful & not too soggy, had the honey osmanthus oolong tea with bubble, was very fresh will come back to try more flavors next time :)

Super cute with the little carrier twine! I had the joney flavored oolong with taro pearls & it was great, just to my taste. All bubble tea places & their flavors blur into one for me after a while, so outside of taste, I loved the speed & expediency here.
