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.
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?
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!

J'ai commandé un thé au lait à la crème brûlée. On m'a assuré que le lait était lactose free & vegan. Je peux vous confirmer que les deux heures qui ont suivi m'ont assurer que le lait n'était absolument pas vegan & encore moins lactose free. Dommage, il était délicieux mais pas pour les personnes intolérantes au lactose. Mention pour le prix que je trouve élevé pour un thé sans bubble.
Le café est cute, décoration originale & mignonne. Cependant, nous avons commander 4 boissons onéreuses, & seul 1 était à notre goût. Le service est quand même long & uniquement anglophone.
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...
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.

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.
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!
