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.
The wait is mad. They're incredibly slow. Got the matcha panna cotta in a bottle for 10.41$, the drink is delicious, would recommend to take more sugar tho if you want it to taste sweet. The regular sugar level is not noticeably sweet. The girl at the cash is barely in the front ( maybe they're understaffed idk she only comes out to hand the customers their orders with one straw), so you have to order & pay at the self-service kiosk which did not have any paper so you can't get a receipt. They have internet but not for the customers. They don't have any napkins or extra straws out on the counters so I assume if you need anything you have to ring the bell & ask her when she comes out.

Machimachi Montréal is truly a paradise for bubble tea lovers! The shop is clean & cozy, with friendly staff & consistently high-quality drinks.
Highly recommend trying these two drinks:
✨ Crème Brûlée Black Milk Tea - A perfect balance of rich milk tea & the sweet caramelized flavor of crème brûlée. Smooth, creamy, & absolutely delightful.
✨ Mochi Brûlée RedBean Matcha Smoothie - Fragrant matcha blended with red bean & chewy mochi. Every sip is full of texture & flavor, sweet but not heavy - a real treat!
Definitely one of my favorite bubble tea spots in Montréal. 💕

Will come back when the store is officially opening on Friday! 🥳 They look cuuute & the tastes won't disappoint you. Luckily didn't wait in line for long & was told that 1hour plus waiting time for the drinks. So went to have dinner & then picked them up. Be aware that they stop taking orders about 30mins before the closing time currently.
Not many options. To sum up, you get to choose between different matcha drinks & milk tea. It's a shame because I really enjoy fruity boba drinks but all the mango drinks were smoothies. Also, it's expensive & disappointing. The decor also looks depressing & barren 😭 they really need to fill that empty space… plants or something will do
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?
I got the Matcha Panna Cotta & wow! It was delicious. Haven't had something like this yet & the matcha was delicious! They were very busy but it was worth it!
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.
Endroit très sympathique & ludique avec le passage cute des boissons prêtes. Cependant, le thé vert à la crème brulée n'était pas wow & goutait la gomme balloune... Le latte au sucre brun est bon. Attention, si vous voulez des perles de tapioca, il faut les demander en plus. Le concept de la bouteille matcha & pana cotta est un wow. Cependant pas sûre que j'y retournerai.

Finally Montreal has it's own Machi Machi store!! I've come here several times since the opening, & the wait time seems to be less & less. The most recent time I came on a weekday, waited less than 5 minutes to order, & another ~10 minutes for the drinks to be made. Staff are super friendly & helpful in deciding which flavours to try. I love their bottled panna cotta drinks-- the taro & matcha flavours, in particular. The bottles are plastic, so not as reusable as I'd prefer. Great spot for a grab & go drink! Not a spot to stay for long-- no bathrooms, lack of seating, uncomfortably warm inside (like a sauna), etc.
Delicious drinks, the wait time is pretty big though (I had to wait about 40 minutes to get my order) Passion fruit & honey tea was nicely refreshing, & matcha with panna cotta was perfectly brewed.
