Presotea has arrived in Orleans! I took my mom here since she loves bubble tea and she's thrilled…read morethat Orleans has more bubble tea options now. We got a large Taro Slush ($8.99) with Jelly Boba (additional $1) to share and it was great. Their large is really large, lol. The slush was nice and thick and smooth, no icy chunks, which I appreciated. The taro flavour did taste artificial to me, so not sure if there's real taro in it. It still tasted good, but would of course be so much better with real taro paste and/or taro pieces. The jelly boba was chewy and delicious. They gave us a decent amount too, not stingy like some places. Service was courteous and efficient. The space is very large with several tables. They had lots of boxes of fresh mangos stacked in the corner, as well as lots of fresh mangos in the glass display, so I'm thinking their mango drinks contain real mango, lol. I am fairly certain that the owners of this location owned the Presotea on Slater, which closed down in recent years. I'm happy about the relocation. Downtown is flush with bubble tea joints, and Orleans definitely needs more ;) They are right next to the Shoppers Drug Mart in the big plaza with the Walmart and Canadian Tire. Lots of free parking.

As soon as you walk into this shop you are hit by all kinds of array of senses both visually and…read morenice tea aromas. Lots of mangoes and fruit jellies and boba toppings and color popping everywhere. They have a huge variety of all kinds of milk and fruit teas but special seasonal and Japanese series too. I tried the Sakura milk tea with Sakura boba and it didn't let me down. Already tried a different location. They know what they are doing and if you want a good milk tea this is the place to go!

TL;DR/The Short Version: Tasty and aesthetically pleasing…read moresmoothies, but a bit pricey. The Long Version: This location in Orleans is the fourth location for Juice Dudez. Their first was in Westboro and I checked them out there when they first opened back in 2020. I had a Pina Colada bubble tea there and wasn't overly impressed. But they must be doing something right if they opened a second location on Bank St, a third location in the Byward Market and now a fourth location in Orleans. Their specialty appears to be fruit smoothies and dessert crepes/waffles. So I decided to try their smoothies. I got the Fancy Dude $13 which is avocado smoothie layered with mango smoothie and strawberry smoothie on top. There's sliced fruits (kiwi, star fruit, strawberries and blueberries) on top as well as crushed nuts (I think pistachios). I added Astha (Lebanese cream) for an additional $1.50. There was also honey drizzled on top. The drink was super pretty and fairly tasty, but I found the price a bit high. The amount of Ashta I received was small, just a little scoop. The smoothie was definitely tastier than the bubble tea I had at their OG location when they first opened. The smoothies here are similar to the smoothies at La Bocca Juice down on Bank St, or Cocktail Antabli and Cocktail Hawaii (both in Montreal). Service was pleasant. Decor is nice. Free parking available in the plaza parking lot. It's where Menchie's used to be. Review #49 (2025)

My daughter convinced me to get less sugar so I went with 50% and it wasn't sweet enough, haha. I should have gone with full sugar or 70%. Actually, they use honey instead of sugar. The pearls were still hot and so soft and chewy. I loved the pearls. The drink had real taro puree. It was so good. My daughter got a yakult green tea with Aloe Vera. She went with 30% sugar and said it was too sweet, haha. She liked it though. The drinks are pretty expensive. Mine was $7 and hers was $6.80. Oh, I wanted to add red beans to my drink, but it's not available as a topping :( The guy working there was nice and he made our drinks quickly.

TLDR: This Bubble Tea chain from Taiwan just opened up its first store in Ottawa. Their famous…read morebrown sugar pearls are made fresh in-store. Their milk tea has a potent tea flavour and they use whole milk, so it's very rich and creamy. Their soft opening was June 27, 2024. They will have their grand opening in July. During their soft opening, which is when I went, they only had their 10 top selling drinks available and no soft serve ice cream. Unfortunately for me, during their soft opening they didn't have any discounts/promotions and everything was just regular priced, lol. I went with their classic Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea. I got the regular size ($6.50) with less ice. The sugar level is fixed. They said they could make it less sweet by giving me less pearls, lol. No thanks, I love pearls, haha. So I got the standard sweetness. The pearls were delicious! So soft and chewy. The tea had a strong tea flavour and since they use homogenized milk, it was so rich and creamy, almost too much so for my tastes, lol. Staff were very welcoming and they were so enthusiastic. There's some seating inside and a few patio tables outside too. The store is bright and clean. Xing Fu Tang is known for their fortune boxes. They're like fortune cookies, but no cookie, haha. You choose a stick from the container of sticks. And there's a number on the stick which corresponds with a numbered drawer. In the drawer is a fortune. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I skipped the fun ;) I'll need to return to try their soft serve ice cream. And they have this mango smoothie drink with strawberry boba and a panna cotta bunny on top, which I want to try too. And they have drinks with real taro, so I'll need to take my taro-loving mom here too. They are in Old Ottawa East. Street parking only. (93)

The matcha was so fresh and strong, it was unlike any other matcha I've had in North America. I was afraid the brown sugar would be too sweet but it was the perfect amount of flavor and a hint of sweet. Definitely a 10 out of 10 for the drinks. Staff were very patient with us as we tried to make a decision and they were very helpful with answering questions and making recommendations. The business itself was clean,modern and cute. They were also very efficient with the making of our beverages.

This Real Fruit Bubble Tea recently opened up in Place d'Orleans. So when it comes to bubble tea in…read moreOrleans its pretty slim pickings. My mom and I went to Place d'Orleans specifically to get bubble tea at Freshly Squeezed, but when we got there we saw that the kiosk was all walled off and it looked like the store was no more. We were super disappointed, but decided to look at the mall directory to see if they had moved since the whole mall is undergoing renovations at the time of this review. We saw that Freshly Squeezed is no longer a tenant, but we spotted Real Fruit Bubble Tea! They just opened a location in Bayshore Shopping Centre, so maybe they are taking Ottawa by storm. Anyway, we obviously beelined it to Real Fruit Bubble Tea, lol. We were told that they just ran out of tapioca and it would be 30 minutes for them to prepare another batch. So we walked around the mall and came back in 30 minutes. These guys were really busy! I got a small blueberry smoothie with tapioca ($5.49 + $0.50 for the tapioca) half sweet, and my mom got a small taro sherbet with tapioca ($5.49 + $0.50 for the tapioca). She got the default amount of sugar. I enjoyed my drink but found it still too sweet. I think I will say no sugar next time. I was happy with the amount of tapioca I received. They are better than the Bayshore location, which was so stingy with the tapioca :( The tapioca were chewy and a nice consistency, not too mushy, but not too hard. I will mention that since they use real fruit I had tiny specks of blueberry skin stuck between my teeth during and after drinking my smoothie, lol. My mom really liked her drink and she did not find her drink too sweet. She was also happy with the amount of tapioca. Service was friendly and efficient. There are a few tables actually inside the store where you can sit and enjoy your drink, but there are also tables in the mall in front of the store. They are on the main floor, in between David's Tea and Purdy's Chocolates.

I got a regular-sized coconut milk tea ($4.99) and added tapioca pearls (an additional $0.75). I forgot to say half sweet, so it was full strength sweetness, which was way too sweet for me, but that was on me for forgetting. The drink itself had a nice potent coconut flavour, but the tea flavour was very subtle. It was smooth and not gritty, and was rich and creamy. The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy, how I like them, but they could have been more generous with the amount as I finished the pearls way before I finished my drink, so was just drinking milk tea with no toppings for most of my drink. Overall 3.5 stars, but I am being generous and rounding up. Hopefully next time they will follow my example of generosity and give me more tapioca, lol. Service was friendly and efficient. The inside is small. They have 4 regular tables of 4 and a high table for 2. Street parking only.

Went to this place on a hot July afternoon because they had ice cream posted. One scoop for $2 or…read moretwice scoops for $4. The young female working the cash could barely speak English and literally all we were ordering was a BBT and three ice creams. I asked for one scoop of chocolate with whip cream. Kids had two scoops each, one strawberry, one chocolate. You would think they would serve the ice cream first, then make the BBT. We sat and waited for probably ten minutes before anything showed up and everything was wrong. My one scoop of chocolate came with sprinkles and the sprinkles were hard like rocks. The scoop of ice cream was tiny, like an inch and a half in diameter and tasted like store bought ice cream. The two kids only got one bowl with two scoops, one chocolate and the other strawberry. The BBT came out fine. We had to get her to make another bowl of ice cream for the second child. We were also the only customers in there. The cost came out to over $25 and I think we were charged twice for one of the two scoops. Basically five scoops of ice cream and an $8 BBT. I had been here before the pandemic and it was good, but something changed and I think it was a language barrier. If you're going to have someone facing customers, at least make sure they can understand their own menu! After that debacle, I will never go there again!

Mind blown! Lol. I was super tempted my their $1 a cone ice cream, but decided to stick with my original plan of getting some bubble tea. I went with the regular-sized Lychee Milk Tea ($4.99) and added Cherry Agar Pearls (an additional $1). My husband got a Mint Chocolate Milkshake ($6.99). So the freaky thing is that I totally forgot to tell the guy half sweet (my usual customization when I'm trying out a new place), but magically when I got my drink, the sticker said 50% sugar. Woah, he read my mind, lol. So the toppings list said "cherry tapioca" which intrigued me but when I got the drink, it was obviously agar/crystal pearls that were cherry flavoured. This was also a pleasant surprise because I love crystal boba/agar pearls and actually prefer them to tapioca pearls. I loved my drink. The lychee flavour wasn't too pronounced, but it was still tasty and not overly sweet. The agar pearls were chewy and delicious and the quantity was good. I had a sip of my husband's milkshake and it was really tasty, super rich and creamy, and it was aesthetically pleasing as well. Service was easy-going, as I was a bit indecisive at first and then changed my order as the guy was punching it into the cash register (oops, sorry, hehe). He was super nice and if he was annoyed, he didn't show it at all. If I lived in Cornwall, I would be there all the time. They are close to the highway, so I think not only will every Cornwall trip I make involve a stop here, but any trips on the 401 eastbound from Ottawa will also involve a visit to Sip & Scoop, lol. It's in a plaza with lots of free parking.
