I've been wanting to try this place ever since I walked by and finally had the chance to get a…read moredrink. I wanted something simple and opted for the CLASSICAL BUBBLE TEA. It was very simple in flavor. The tea flavor was not very strong and it was more of a milky flavor with an addition of some tea notes, but it wasn't bad. It was light and refreshing. I really liked the tapioca. It was soft and had the most perfect smooth consistency. I would order this drink again. It was simple, but done right. Overall, the shop is very cute, but with very little seating. The decor is cute and has inspiring quotes all around. I will be back.

Very good tea! They have a lot of varieties of drinks. I think the biggest difference is that the…read moreingredients are fresh and it doesn't look like they use powders like other boba tea places.

This location is conveniently located in the highly populated china town and George St too. Heard that Jay Chou founded this boba tea chain, so I wasn't surprised to hear 100% of his songs being played in store lol. Ye qu.

I think there are more bubble (boba) tea shops in Sydney than there are McDonald's in the world!…read moreYou can't avoid it. It's the plague! So either you're with it or against it. I plead Switzerland since I enjoy a bubble tea from time to time, but it's an expensive habit.. like crack! However, in the nation of Market City, there are only two (2) "real" bubble tea shops (there are restaurants that sell bubble tea). This is the better of the two. My lovely boss has treated me out for bubble tea every other day, so I've had the privilege of trying teas from both Easy Way and Cha Time. Cha Time surpasses Easy Way by a long shot. The Oolong Milk Tea w/pearls I drank this morning was absolutely divine. It was the perfect balance of milk, tea, pearls and ice. Easily 5 stars for taste and I'll definitely give it the place another 5 stars for decor. The countertop and displays were in pristine condition. But I had to knock off a star for price. Easy Way offers MC employees a discount while Cha Time doesn't... Hook your fellow MC tenants up w/a discount and I'll change my review to 5 stars :)

Bottom line, both were watered down and tasted powdery in a cheap way. Save your money and buy anything else.

Love the flavor variety, the ingenious boba names and the cute little shop.

The following day, we went back and got the tea latte with taro ball and the honey osmanthus oolong tea. We loved both drinks but we like the oolong tea a bit more. We've been lucky that both times that we went there, there was barely a line so we didn't have to wait too long. Ordering at the kiosk is pretty simple and easy. It's also cool to watch the staff brew the tea in front of us. The space is pretty chill. They have a few seats where you can just hang out, but obviously, during busy times you might not get a seat so you'll have to enjoy your drink elsewhere.

Charges were based on the drink type, flavor and toppings. Customization was for sugar and ice levels. However as each cup is made to order it took about 10 minutes before our drinks were ready. Luckily this location was quite big with lots of room and some tables to wait, socialize or enjoy drinking. The dong ding oolotea was as good as we remembered. Just the right amount of sweetness and tea flavoring. It also came with a handy twine and cardboard carrying sleeve for to go. We also noticed insulated bags, nice looking ones, were provided on larger online orders to go. That was a nice touch.

I was just excited to see a Chatime here as I hadn't since I was in Singapore. Honestly, the boba here is pretty standard and nothing to write home about.

Taro was disgusting, with bobas that were too firm in the middle. Threw it out after the first few…read moresips to make sure it wasn't fluke. Got another milk tea as well. I had a few bobas that weren't overly firm in the middle but most of them had the same issue. The tea itself is tasty but I have tea at home. Earl gray I had yesterday was good. Unfortunately again shitty bobas texture wise, which ruins the experience. They ran out of Earl gray when I came back again today, so I suppose if you're going to try anything try the Earl gray. Consider some jellies as their bobas are consistently low quality and firm in the center. I've had six (bad boba batches) the past week and five in the past few days at different times and locations, so I don't think I can give Chatime anymore chances (with bobas at least, I have an addiction to feed so I'll probably try some of the jellies).
