Machi Machi offers a wide, inventive bubble tea menu with standout drinks like crème brûlée milk tea and bottled varieties that many reviewers find cute and tasty, featuring chewy boba and well balanced teas. The shop is praised for high quality, friendly service, and a welcoming vibe, though some experiences note slow lines during busy times, longer waits, and occasional inconsistent or overly sweet flavors. The bottle concept and presentation are a major draw, and many say they would return for the variety, textures, and signature drinks, while a few mention prices can be high and some locations feel crowded or less hospitable.
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!
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.

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...
Très bonne adresse pour des bubbles teas originaux. Je connais très bien cette chaîne & elle s'installe très bien ici à Montréal. Les prix sont un peu plus élevés que les concurrents mais on ne retrouve pas les mêmes produits.
Good service from the staff. What I liked from this place is that you can actually taste the tea flavour. Unfortunately, it's a bit overpriced (portions are too small) I was disappointed by the mochi & I definitely recommend their drinks with crème brûlée
Lovely new bubble tea place love the flask bottles so much easier to carry around, I got the strawberry panna cotta I loved the creaminess of the panna cotta & the strawberry flavour was delicious
The boba is very good & they have some unique items on the menu, but with all the other amazing bubble tea spots nearby I just don't think it's worth the 30-45mins wait unfortunately... if they had a better queue system or at least a bigger local to wait it would be better experience already.
Very busy on the weekend, but well worth the wait. I took the hot milk black tea with crème brûlée... which (& I was advised of this) turns out not to be torched when you take it hot, but it was delicious still. I am very curious about so many other drinks... They have suggestions to help, thankfully.

The place has a really cute vibe! Unfortunately their menu mentions milk tea made with dairy free or vegan milk, but when I asked the server if the drink was made with dairy free options due to a dairy allergy she looked confused & said they don't have dairy free options. I think they should clarify on their menu.
Best bubble tea in Montreal, the Black pearl milk tea has always been my favorite! The texture is impeccable. The staff in the front was very professional & friendly as well.
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.
