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.

The teas did taste good. However, it is a small shop, & gets crowded easily. Management also needs to work on communication between staff. My partner was really looking forward to trying the milk bubble tea, & ordered it with oat milk. However, after waiting for a long time, we were told that they don't have oat milk & was forced to change his order so he had to pick something random quickly. As it's our first time here, it was hard to choose. He did like it afterwards, but not what he was expecting to get, & disappointing as we should've been told right away that they don't have oat milk in stock. The taro was good as they use real taro but it hid the tea taste.

I wanted to find out what is the hype about this place & it did not disappoint! Price point, it is higher than most places for a small cup but the quality is there. The drink (i ordered honey oolong osmanthus) was the definition of freshness, you won't find this level of quality elsewhere. This is how real bubble tea should taste like. (Fyi: if you are a fan of cheap powder flavors , this place is not for you)

Oh my god! This bubble tea shop exceeded all my expectations. Purchased two teas, one for myself & one for my husband but I ended up drinking both 😅. Each tea is made to measure according to your own preferences, so fresh & delicious! My new favorite bubble tea shop!

My oolong tea is very light & the mousse isn't salty as I prefer. I had high hopes on this(very famous store in Taiwan) but I am slightly disappointed

I am a Bobba "junkie" & ever since I have sipped my 1st Chicha Sanchen delight, I fell in love with the care & flavors. I cannot help but to barristas with the way they prep your tea beverages. The staffs is welcoming & the story behind this high end concept is fascinating & I can taste it. I wanna go every week to try a different one. I highly recommand for the quality of the products. Great location!
