    My friend kept talking about bubble tea so we decided to see if we could find a place in Halifax where we could get it. Chatime is a chain bubble tea bar. The menu can be a bit daunting because they offer so much but for vegans they actually have a guide next to the cash that shows you what is suitable. There's still quite a few choices but sadly they don't offer a plant based milk for any of their milky teas. Even so, they have some delicious fruity teas that you can add the bubble pearls to. My favourite so far is the Hawaiian fruit tea. I like that you can customize how much sugar and ice you want too. I've now become a bubble tea addict and simply love their fruit tea here.

    Taiwanese bubble and milk tea chain. Can't believe one is in Halifax! Probably to serve the large Chinese student population. Had a good experience here. Unlike others, order ca After relatively quick wait - about ten minutes. There were three employees working at the time. Like how you can customize everything! Amount of sugar, ice etc. It was still quite sweet at 80 percent sugar. Suggest you get no ice if you want more drink ;) Had a special on where a second peach green or black tea was 50 percent off. Will be back!

    Have never seen anyone less in a hurry to make drinks. Seems to be normal for the regulars though. I waited 30 minutes for a pearl milk tea and it wasn't even busy. There was no line..I've gotten restaurant quality meals much faster. Don't really get it

    Finally, Chatime is here! Halifax has been lacking in the proper Bubble tea scene for as long as I've been here. The first time I sipped (or slurped) a cup of Bubble tea from Chatime was in Toronto. I was blown away by how "serious" the tea tasted. Growing up in Taiwan while bubble tea became popular, I've had my share of good and bad and mediocre bubble teas. My favorite is the Roasted milk tea with pearls and grass jelly. It's got that darker taste that I haven't been able to find from other bubble tea shops. It's both interesting and annoying at the same time to be able to adjust how sweet and how much ice you want your tea. Since this is the new kid on the block, be prepared to wait, and wait some more. We waited for an hour from the time we ordered to the time our drinks were ready. This is where they lost a star from me.

    Really good boba but rest of drinks were sad. Classic bubble tea was watery. Fruit tea lacked fresh fruit. Syrups are so 1990s.

    I ordered mine with 60% ice and 30% sugar which I thought was perfect because the beans are already sweet.

    TL;DR/The Short Version: Good bubble tea not far from the waterfront…read more The Longer Version: I stopped by and got a small Brown Sugar Bubble Taro Milk ($6.49). I had initially wanted to get it without added sugar but I was advised that the sugar level of this drink was fixed. Fortunately, I didn't find it too sweet at all. The mashed taro is sweetened and the brown sugar tapioca pearls are sweet, but I don't think they added additional sugar to the milk, so I was a happy camper. The taro is warm, but even with the less ice I ordered, after I mixed up the drink it was sufficiently cold. Service was neutral, but efficient. The lone staff member seemed really disinterested in serving customers. I got my drink rather quickly. Although I noted I was the only customer in the store, lol. White Alley Bubble Tea is the only non-chain bubble tea that was within walking distance from our hotel room, so I really wanted to try it and I'm glad I did. I wasn't like blown away by my drink or anything, but I was happy. Decor is pretty minimalist but they have a few tables and chairs if you want to hang out. (188)

    Tried here for the first time- as love bubble milk tea but like to try different places as my…read morefavourite is Chatime- Anyway this was right behind them with the boba/ milk tea and pudding drink!! So good, And nice Uber special for milk tea bogo!! Very sturdy cups too!
