This is one of the first bubble tea stores in downtown Toronto, opening around Sep 2011…read more We used to come here a lot, 9 times between 2019-06-27 and 2021-12-04. We came back on 2024-12-31 because we received a gift card. We ordered a Chocolate Hazel Delight (large $6.50). We added pearls for +$0.70. It tasted as expected. The customer service was good because there was no one else in the shop. There were 5 small tables and a long counter for standing beside. One table had lots of crumbs on it. The shop was reasonably modern and clean. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. They also sell cakes and cookies (new item) from Bakecode, their sister company. There is free WiFi. The shop is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, but it is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

That is unheard of here in the States. As a boba connoisseur, I was ecstatic when I saw Chicha having a location on the way home to our hotel. I knew the quality of their drinks would be up there, and the fact that there was little wait really sweetened the experience. I ordered the DongDing Oolong Milk Tea with Oat Milk and Boba, light sugar and ice. Their boba here is slightly different from a traditional black tapioca pearl, but it still hits the spot. The tea was well brewed and not too sweet, just how I like my boba. The shop itself was wonderful with its cute aesthetics and the smell of tea filling the air. You could tell there was quality based on that alone. Give them a try if you've yet to experience higher quality boba.

My fiance got a soda, which was strawberry, and it tasted like a strawberry sprite to me. Loved it! And came in a beautiful cup that can be reusable! I got myself some fresh tea, which was also divine and tart. Loved it a lot! The place was very clean and the lady working there was quiet, humble and quick.

We shared a Thai iced tea, earl grey, and matcha flavored bobas. All tastes quite natural and the boba was the right texture.

Small bubbletea shop that also serves pastries and Filipino meals…read more Their standout offering, of course, is the bubbletea. The tea is loose-leaf, so is elevated from the typical bubbletea. But it's the tapioca that really makes the drink shine with how fresh and bouncy they are. For a tea shop, this place also has really good food. Tried the scones and they were super buttery, very flavourful, and were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside like all great scones. We also got some Filipino meals - the lechon kawali and lumpia super crispy, the bangsilog had a good portion size for the price, and the halo-halo was refreshing. Place is mainly a takeout spot, but there are a couple of small tables to sit 4. Service is friendly. Tea offerings are extensive. Worth a drop-by.

They also have the Boba Boy bottle that is reusable. You can put your drinks in there. The next time when you visit, bring the bottle with you and get a discount. A win-win for everyone. The staff was friendly and approachable. I like how they will recommend a drink to you. Thanks!! Will be going back to try their other drinks!!

I saw them put honeydew slices in the blender and the result seemed to come out okay. However it was too liquidy; the liquid was precipitated from the slushy mixture within a short time and it did not taste good anymore. Would not order that again. Their other beverages taste great and service is fast. Not sure if they outdo Presotea or Chatime but it's better than 168 for sure. Highly recommend!
