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.
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.
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.
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
Friendly service. Waited about 10 minutes for our 3 bubbleteas with pannacotta. They were ok. Portions are way too small to justify the price of $9.95 each! Not worth the hype.
Disappointing experience overall. The wait is over 30 minutes in most cases & the waiting area leaves to be desired (little place to sit). Employees call out drink orders only once, which can sometimes not be heard over the loud music. Taste is okay but doesn't justify the waiting times. Would not go again 😐
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.
