Chicha San Chen presents an authentic bubble tea experience, renowned for its meticulous preparation and high-quality ingredients. The menu features a signature cheese foam series, offering a unique creamy topping that perfectly complements the freshly brewed teas, from classic milk teas to fruity infusions. Each beverage is crafted to order, ensuring optimal freshness and a delightful texture of perfectly cooked tapioca pearls. Patrons can explore a variety of customizable options, including sweetness levels and toppings, to personalize their drink. The establishment focuses on delivering a consistent and premium bubble tea standard across its offerings. This commitment to quality makes Chicha San Chen a definitive destination for bubble tea enthusiasts seeking distinctive flavors and a satisfying beverage.
Chicha San Chen is described as a top notch bubble tea spot where tea is brewed fresh to order, with strong, authentic flavors and a focus on the tea itself rather than sugary syrups, and where tapioca pearls are praised as chewy and tasty, with favorites like green tea, oolong and taro featuring real fruit and fresh ingredients. Many reviews call it the best bubble tea in Montreal and admire the variety and the award winning reputation, though some readers note downsides such as unfriendly or inattentive service, order mixups, long lines at peak times, and a tiny no seating space that makes it mostly a takeout option. At times the experience includes long wait or hot space with no inside seating, while others praise fast, friendly service and detailed explanations of drink customizations. Overall it stands out for high quality tea and creative preparation and is a popular go to in Chinatown and the city for bubble tea connoisseurs.
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.
If you like bubble tea this is definitely one of the best places to get one! On the smaller size so it's only really for takeout, tea is made fresh on the spot with their fancy machine, really cute packaging. Definitely worth a quick stop by!
Since the closing of one of our favorite boba shops, we had been longing for bubble tea with the perfect chewiness. After trying Chicha Sanchen for the first time, it quickly became one of our favorite spots for boba ! While the place & menu are a bit small, the Bubble Volcano was excellent & exactly what we were looking for.
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.
No seating provided. It is a takeout shop with excellent quality bubble tea brew in front of your eyes with raw ingredients. The shop allows the customers to make orders tailored to personal taste & sweetness ( or sugarless) . This is a good selling point .
Hands down the best bubble tea in Montreal! (& I consider myself an expert.). The quality of both the tea & its preparation...the care, the packaging... the boba... EVERYTHING.

So good! I would highly recommend the Taro Queen. It is fragrant & delicious. Wouldn't recommend the fruit tea as much, that was average. There's also no where to sit inside FYI Was gonna give 4/5 but bonus 1 star for sustainability, they allow you to bring your own cup
I don't know maybe I'm not a connoisseur...but I don't feel like it tasted any superior than other bubble tea places. It's was a good bubble tea. The location will get cute eventually, I guess. It's total construction zone at front. Service was slow-ish. They take their time to measure tea leaves & stuff. Presentation is cutesy. Will I go back?... if I'm in the neighborhood maybe. Also the price of bubble tea is Insaneeeee.
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.
I went to the chicha san chen bubble tea place in toronto & I became a fan of their bubble tea. I came back to montreal & tried the store here & I was extremely disappointed by their bubble tea. Montreal store should maintain the standard & quality of the bubble tea that chicha san chen is known for.
