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.

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

Un endroit sympathique pour acheter un bubble tea

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 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 ✌?

I never want them to close! Finally not powder, but real tea, with the correct cook on the bubbles!
