My go to place for taro bubble tea. Quick service, polite staff and competitive prices.
The QQ mango juice is pretty good too.
Overall recommended.
Although I'm yet to try most of the flavors.
Huge variety of bubbletea, runs a bit on the expensive side but is well worth it for the quality. The lineups are long and the place is cramped. If you're lucky you can snag a seat with friends and enjoy, otherwise it's best to take it to go. I really enjoyed the mango green tea with rainbow jelly, although next time I'd skip the jelly or ask for lychee instead since the jellies they provided were flavourless. Roasted milk tea is a classic, and you can't go wrong if you're not into drinks that are too sweet.
Toronto has a plethora of bbt options. Chatime stands out as a place where it finally feels like you are drinking real non powdered tea. One of the more consistent quality places that I have frequented.
Consistent, tasty, quick. Chatime is the reason I started having bubble tea again. I'm almost happy that summer is coming to an end (no I'm not) since soon I won't have to fight the urge to walk downstairs to splurge on this (30%) sweet cooling goodness every goddam day.
One note: Their red beans were sorta mushy and overly sweet in the couple times I tried it. Not my thing. But if you like that texture, then you're in luck.
Another note: Roasted milk tea is da bomb. Roasted version is a lot more flavourful than the regular one.
This is one of the better Chatimes in town. I always go for the #2 special - roasted milk tea with grass jelly, 30% sugar, with less ice. I wouldn't recommend going more than 50% sugar, as I generally find their drinks already pretty sweet.
"HOW much did I pay for my bubble tea?!?"
Ridiculously expensive bubble tea... But ridiculously good.
My friend introduced me to Chatime and I have been hooked since. I like the fact that you can request as much or as little sugar and ice and you want. But at $5 a drink, it's something that I do once in a while.
Enjoyed some bubble tea here. Long line ups, tea made to order and is consistently good. Go for 30% sweet as everything else is way too sweet. Looks like the 'in' thing to do when you're not doing much
First time here. Stopped in for a bubble tea with friends. Extremely busy night but the wait was not long. Amazing selection, lots of hot drinks and they ask you how much sugar and ice you want in each drink. We got a Chatime pearl milk tea and a Taro slush. I really liked the black milk tea but was disappointed with the taro, I've had much better taro slushes in the past. I wanted to get a hot drink but there were no options without caffeine (actual tea). Next time I go in the daytime, I will try a hot bubble tea.
If you're a fan of tea, unlike me, then you'll probably enjoy Chatime. They have an interesting selection of tea varieties to go with the run-of-the-mill bubble tea flavors. I had a tieguanyin tea latte, which I expected to be served hot, but turned out to be cold. Still tasted pretty good though. I'd come back! Good service and staff is friendly.
