They offer the same tea recipes like the Formosa Fruit Tea served to the exact same lovely and fruit-forward quality. I also like that this one has seasonal menu items to keep things interesting. On the other hand, I felt like the experience at this one was more of a standard tea chain whereas the one in NYC is aiming to be an elaborate process.

I recommend adding fresh milk and/or boba. There's only one size. I passed by twice during the week and there was no line. Finally when I was here on a Sunday, there was a line out the door. They need AC inside!! It was so hot. There is no seating inside. It's quite tight inside, barely enough room for a line and a pick up area. There are a couple tables outside under the shade.

Overall: C // 3 stars…read more Quite bummed to see that a lot of their fresh fruit teas were out of stock, so I opted for the mango green tea and was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of mango and lychee jelly in the drink that actually worked well together to be a tropical refresher. I greatly dislike their packing though as the seal is too strong for their weak paper straws to break, and the cup hides the visibility of the tea.

I am very glad, I did this time. The L2Lounge looks inviting with lots of seating places, looking quite comfortable. The seats are placed so that each group feels like their own private cubicle. Drawing display on the wall is contemporary and jazzy. I like when I see a place that looks to be bright, well maintained and clean. We had just finished our lunch somewhere else and now ordered one "crème molle" of mixed macha and taro as we are fond of both flavours. Instead of expecting the usual insolent remarks of many servers in that neighbourhood, being not entirely happy of ordering just one item, the question from the lady behind the counter was "do you want one spoon or two?" This is what I call customer service at its best. For this treatment alone, I will definitely come again and bring friends. This is going to be my favorite dessert place in this area. The ice-cream was just delicious, creamy and tasting all natural ingredients, with the price being very descent. There are also numerous bubble tea options that look very appetizing and would be on my order at my next visit. This is a dessert gem, worth exploring.

We were wondering what was so special about Canada's KFT when we have KFT in NY (and many other bubble tea chains). To our disappointment, we didn't think there was anything special about it. It felt like a regular, typical KFT... minus the logo. We were debating if it was a fake KFT since the logo was different from the ones in NY, but a quick Google search showed us that the KFT logo in Canada is different. The friend was very friendly, but the shop was pretty quiet.

The Short Version: Bubble tea kiosk inside this mini food…read morehall in Old Montreal. I was shocked that in this touristy area I was able to score a bubble tea for $3.99. It was good too. The Long Version: I love bubble tea and always endeavour to try new bubble tea places whether at home or on vacation. One Babo was founded in Montreal, QC. I only later learned (after my visit) that it used to be called One More Thé, which was famous for its fat and short cups. I had bubble tea at One More Thé when they had a location in Les Cours Mont-Royal and I enjoyed it. Anyway, the One Babo location I went to no longer uses short fat cups, but just regular cups and they are paper which is the trend these days. Great for the environment, so I support, but less photogenic for sure, lol. The straw was plastic so it pierced the lid easily and I didn't make a mess which I always do with paper straws. I ordered at the ordering kiosk and was surprised to see they had promotional drinks for only $3.99. Well, I was all over that. Haha. I looked at the different varieties and they had a dragon fruit tea with green tea popping boba, which is what I got. I wanted zero sugar and less ice but there wasn't an option to indicate this at the kiosk, but the staff member said I could let her know the modifications and she would make it accordingly. When you say no sugar here, it truly is no sugar! I have found that at most bubble tea shops their base tea is already somewhat sweet so even when I order no sugar, it's still sweet, but not here. The tea was completely unsweetened even a bit bitter. My bad, lol. The popping boba added a splash of sweetness, but in the future, knowing what I know now, I will get a quarter sweet. I still enjoyed the drink and it had a potent tea flavour which I liked. Service was pleasant and the staff pointed out to me that the print on the cup was an Old Montreal landscape since their location is in Old Montreal. What a nice touch. This location is inside a mini food hall called Le Coin Gourmand. Other businesses in the food hall are Hectare Cafe (a Carribean coffee shop), Mel'Oui (a sandwich shop) and Quan An (a Vietnamese restaurant). In addition to bubble tea, they also sell food. I'll need to return to try their food and check out the other businesses (my husband did get a coffee at Hectare Cafe while I was at One Babo, but I want to try their Haitian pastries). Oh and I'll gladly try another drink at One Babo. Hopefully they continue to have some at promotional prices, lol. Review #211 (2025)
