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 tea series are unique with 3 black teas & 3 green teas. The fruit teas are really good as well. The taro series are the special one because they use the fresh taro base & taro ball

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

My favorite bubble tea shop in the city! They have various choice & the taste is so good, not too sweet & we can really taste the tea.

Première fois que j'y allais & c'était délicieux : la boisson avait un bon goût de thé, on sentait tous les arômes des fruits frais & c'était super rafraîchissant. Je vais revenir avec certitude ! Merci beaucoup 😃

お腹いっぱいだったので、タピオカは無しでミルクティーだけ注文。 $7.5くらいで他のタピオカ屋さんよりも高くて、味はまあまあでした。

Lots of bubble tea options with nice drink aesthetics but a bit overpriced ($8-9 for a small drink) with no seating inside.
