Overall, reviews describe Machi Machi as a top bubble tea spot in Montreal, known for high quality drinks especially the crème brûlée milk tea and a cute bottle presentation. The boba is consistently chewy and flavors are well balanced, with standout bottled drinks and options like taro, matcha, red bean and mochi. Service is praised for friendliness, though long waits and occasional kiosk issues can dampen the experience when busy. Some reviews note occasional misses such as off tasting drinks or high prices and sparse decor in certain locations. Despite these points, the shop is seen as cozy, with a wide range of creative drinks and a strong recommendation for trying the crème brûlée and other popular flavors.
I really love the ambiance & the cozy setup they have. Everytime I've gone I've had extraordinary service. I love every drink they've served 100% recommend going.
I was confused while ordering with the machine :( there was no cashier at the front. The girl just went out to pass the drinks to customers. I hope they would have someone at the front in order to explain the menu tho as I was super confused with the drinks tbh :) Overall, the drink was ok, nothing much special. The mochi balls were good tho. It is worth the try if you never visit this brand before

I love the flavors & the variety of drinks that they have. Everything tastes fresh & the employees are nice. The only thing is that the service is so painfully slow every time I've been.
Really good bubble tea & service! The girl at the cash recommended me Taro Latte with mixed taro balls & tapioca, & it's one of the best bubble tea I had ever!! & I've tried a looooot of different bubble tea 😂 I highly recommend that drink if you like taro flavour! You won't be disappointed 💜
I'm so glad they finally opened a store in MTL. Their drinks are fantastic (I forgot to take pictures before devouring it all). I'll take pics next time. I drove 45 mins one way to get my drinks. I wish they either open another one in West Island or start uber eats soon! I hate going DT & only drove to satisfy my cravings 🥰
The drinks are unique & delicious but the shop was very hot inside!!! It was hotter than the mtl summer weather. I suggest you up the AC or at least open your doors. Thank you

a small & cozy spot for drinks! they offer a variety of different drink flavours that all sound very yummy. personally, i found the prices quite expensive for the food we were getting, the taste isn't particularly outstanding but it's comforting enough. i got the black milk tea drink that came with a mochi, though the drink wasn't anything special, i was pleasantly surprised at how warm & chewy the mochi was, it wasn't too sweet & tasted delicious! it was a nice experience but i don't think i'd necessarily come back for the drinks since they didn't stand out that much & were quite pricey. i would recommend coming just for the experience.
The drinks were good, but note that the place is quite small with not much seating spots, so it's mostly for takeout. I got the matcha with Panna cotta & the regular milk tea both were good!
Totallyy hooked on Mango slush matcha jello! Machi has a different style compared to other boba joints, definitely worth trying. Too bad we can't see these pretty drinks with opaque paper containers (yes yes less plastic, environment friendly). Also, you might wanna add another self service machine as line ups are long?
Drinks taste great, though are pricey. I really like their milk tea with crème brûlée & matcha latte with panna cotta. Some certain drinks don't allow any modifications on sugar & ice level. They have specific instructions on how to enjoy certain drinks, e.g: shaking the lattes, stirring the crème brûlée's, etc. Busy store so expect some waiting.

The drinks were super tasty, you can also decide on the % of sugar you want in them which is super cool! The decor is super minimalist but cute, there's not really space to sit inside so keep that in mind!
A few weeks after its opening, Machi Machi has already started to put 2x more ice in its popular creme brulee milk tea to make more profit. This is very frustrating because otherwise the drinks are good, but its unacceptable to pay 10$ for a drink & have it half filled with ice, to the point where you can barely appreciate the cream & the boba. We tried to order with "no ice" the next time we went, but they say the ice is "fixed". No wonder why...
I finally got to try this new location & it was worth it!! The flavours mix well with the panna cotta at the bottom & it was very tasty. As for the wait time, ive seen a few reviews where it took an hour, for me it personally took around 10 minutes to get the drinks & around an 8 minute wait in the line. The design is very cute & simple. It deserves the hype its getting!
Super cute new boba shop, friendly service. Absolutely adored my creme brûlée drink. The strawberry one is also delicious & super fun. Would love to try all their different flavours. A little bit expensive but fun to try. I recommend going around 12 when they open because it gets really busy.
