Review Summary

Chicha San Chen draws praise for tea-first quality with fresh brewing done per order, resulting in strong, authentic flavors and chewy pearls. Many reviewers rate it among the best bubble tea spots in Montreal, with favorites like taro, green tea, oolong, and osmanthus honey and the option to build your own drink with the base tea, dairy, sweetness, and ice levels. The setting is small and often lacks seating, and lines or wait times can be a factor, with price cited as high by some. Service is described as friendly and helpful by many, though a few notes mention occasional impatience at the register or language miscommunications. Overall drinks are praised for real tea, fresh ingredients, and a sophisticated preparation that sets it apart from powdery bubbles, and numerous reviews call it a premier destination for bubble tea in the city, sometimes noting awards and authenticity.

If you like bubble tea but more like a'tea' person than a'topping' person,you would like this place. I ordered the green tea with tapioca pearls. It came out with amazing,flavourful & strong aroma of the tea instead of sugary syrupy artificial flavour. They also have an interesting selection of tea that I would love the try more next time. & they don't be cheap on tapioca pearls in my drink which is another bonus point lol. Service is fast,friendly,helpful & attentive.
Thank you so much for the service & the great drink!
Sincerely
Tracy

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 !!

Had really strong taste of tea unlike most boba places, asked for no ice & the drink came warm (but it's fine, didn't really know what to expect). Tapioca was very good & seemed fresh! $9+ for a small size was kinda rough but would probably come back to try something else

I really enjoy their bubble tea! The tapiocas are perfectly cooked. However, I think they could improve by offering different drink sizes. Also, if they can keep the counter hair-free, that would be great. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.

That was one of the best & most intricate cup of bubble tea I have ever had. Had the regular bubble tea, but it was not plain. Cold flavorful tea, warm soft sweet tapioca. Very creamy the tea was very fresh. The cup was beautiful. The tea pourers very professional. Thank you! The only thing is the shop decor isn't cute & it's very small & the corner noisy.

Thé de qualité pour un bubble tea qui ne ressemble pas à une boisson-dessert. Les perles de tapioca sont bien cuites, la texture est optimale. La gelée d'herbe était aussi bonne comme garniture. Nous avons goûté le thé vert & le thé ding dong oolong (les deux dans les choix de thés primés-awards). Le service est poli & efficace en arrière, mais la caissière ne semblait pas avoir d'énergie, dommage qu'elle n'a pas pris la peine de vérifier pour être sûre de comprendre ma commande en français même si j'ai pris soin de parler clairement & assez lentement & fort - erreur dans les deux commandes (peu sucre & peu glace devenu pas de sucre & pas de glace)... Bien ouvert & petite file d'achalandage malgré les travaux devant l'entrée, signe que le nom de la chaîne taiwanaise fait fureur.

Best bubble tea hands down. Tapioca bubbles are like pillows in my mouth. There wasn't an option to have 50% sugar - oh well. Take it as they designed it for best flavor.

À ne pas manquer! Tout le monde a adoré son thé aux perles. Les perles de tapioca sont parfaites & le thé est délicieux. Le personnel était courtois & le service, très rapide. Ouvert pendant les rénos ;)
