TL;DR/The Short Version: Delicious bubble tea at this shop…read moretucked into the corner of a plaza. No real seating so I'd say takeout only. The Long Version: Bliss Tea opened up where Sip Tea used to be on Merivale Ave. I think they just rebranded because their drinks taste similar and when I entered my phone number to collect points, it already knew my name despite it being my first time there (I had an account with Sip Tea. Mind you I lost all those points and had to start over with Bliss Tea). I got the Coco Mango ($6.49) and added Tea Jelly (an additional $0.80). I got 30% sweet because 0% was not an option. I also got less ice. My drink was delicious! It contained lots of real mango pieces, rich and creamy coconut milk, and the tea jelly had a nice tea flavour and good texture. The tea jelly is big blobs of jelly like the pudding jelly or herbal/grass/Mesona jelly that's also a bubble tea topping option. It's not neat little cubes or rectangles like coconut jelly. They have a self-ordering kiosk where you select what you want on the screen and pay by card. If you want to pay cash you have to order from the cashier, but you can only pay cash at the cashier. You can't order from the cashier and pay by card. So many rules, lol. There are instructions next to the self-ordering kiosk and on the kiosk itself so it's pretty easy to use. I was thankful for the instructions because the screen was all in Chinese when I started but there were arrows that pointed where to press to change the language. Once it was in English it was really straightforward. Service was quick. I had very little interaction with staff. They basically called out my order number and gave me my drink, lol. There's no real seating. There's this bench along the wall towards the front and 2 really short stools (one of which was on top of the bench). I think it's just a place to sit while you wait for your drinks. It doesn't look like a comfortable place to hang out for long. The shop is in a plaza, so there's free parking in the shared parking lot. I'll definitely be back to try out other drinks. (194)

I wish this bubbletea place was closer to where I live.

Yi Fang opened up where ShareTea used to be. Overall I found their drinks tasty, but a bit pricey…read more I got a regular sized Super Trio Milk Tea ($6.75) and it was fairly small, especially for the price. This drink comes with tapioca pearls, sago, and grass jelly (aka Mesona jelly or herbal jelly). I got it 30% sweet with 70% ice. It was plenty sweet and plenty cold, I probably could have gone with no sugar and half ice. The tiny sago balls and big soft chunks of jelly, along with the regular sized tapioca pearls gave the drink a fun texture. The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy. The milk tea was creamy and had a good tea flavour to it. I really enjoyed the drink, just not the dent it made in my wallet. Like with taxes and tip it was close to $9 and it was so small (when you look at my picture, keep in mind that I was once told by a jeweller that my hands are the size of a 10 year old's, lol). Service was courteous and efficient. Street parking only.

First time. 3 stars but would give it another try…read more Sometimes, I forget to eat and this is a great alternative on the go for me. 1 star for customer service. It was just there. No greeting. No chat, no thank you. Hardly any customers. No wait. 3 stars for atmosphere. Cute and clean, no place that I would hang out in though. 3.5 stars for my small mango slushie. Boba is delicious. Real fruit in it was towards the bottom and I have a weakness for mango. Not sure how healthy and it wasn't filling for $7.40. It's a forgettable place but I want to really like it. It could be so much more.

Tanger Outlets has a bubble tea shop now! Admittedly, Real Fruit Bubble Tea is not my favourite BBT…read morechain, but it's slim pickings for food and drinks at Tanger, so a bubble tea place is very welcomed. This chain doesn't have specials, which is probably why it's not my favourite, lol. It also feels like the McDonald's of bubble tea. There's a location in pretty much every major mall in Ottawa. The drinks are pretty consistent across locations, and while they will do in a pinch, I feel their drinks are nothing to write home about. Why 4 stars still? It's all about location. There's not a lot of selection for food and drinks at Tanger Outlet, so even unremarkable bubble tea is like an oasis when you're in the desert.

I was so excited when I discovered that a OneZo Tapioca opened up in Ottawa. They opened June 24,…read more2022. I love OneZo for their freshly made-in-store from scratch tapioca. Most bubble tea shops just buy dehydrated prepackaged tapioca and they merely boil it in-store. OneZo also makes flavoured tapioca, like mango, cactus and black sesame tapioca. Their tapioca toppings are $1, so more expensive than most places which charge only $0.50-$0.75, but I feel it's worth it. On my first visit, I actually didn't get a drink with tapioca in it, lol, but was enticed by the Strawberry Mochi Niuniu (large for $6.99). It was a hot day and this drink is a smoothie, so I went for it. The drink has strawberry puree at the bottom, then a layer of mochi and then topped with strawberry smoothie. The sugar level is fixed for this drink, so I found it too sweet, but it was still good. Now the mochi is not like pieces of chewy mochi, like the toppings at frozen yogurt places, it's a sticky, gooey liquid (yeah, it sounds gross, and I'm sure many people find it gross, so caveat emptor, lol, but I like it). However, it wasn't as thick as at Tiger Sugar, so I didn't like the mochi at OneZo as much, but I still enjoyed my drink. On my second visit I got a large Strawberry Tea ($5.99) with OneZo Tapioca ($1). OneZo Tapioca is a mix of crystal, mango and purple tapioca. Very colourful! I was a bit disappointed that the sweetness was also fixed for this drink at 25% as I would have preferred no sugar, but it was still ok and not excessively sweet, though sweeter than my preference. The tapioca were soft and chewy, although admittedly, all 3 flavours kind of tasted the same to me in the drink, haha. They have an app you can download to collect points for freebies. Service was very courteous and helpful. The store is in the same strip mall as Baklawa King, Daal Roti, KFC, Top Trimmers Hair Studio, DN Nails & Spa and W Flowers. Lots of free parking. Merivale, between Baseline and Meadowlands is becoming quite the Bubble Tea hub. OneZo Tapioca is a very welcomed addition!!

We came here after dinner one night. It was a Saturday night and for some reason there was only one…read moreperson working. It wasn't too busy but it was busy enough for one person to take orders (in person and mobile) and to have to make the drinks. We waited for our drinks for 30 mins. It wasn't terrible but we had a toddler with us who luckily wasn't too annoyed. The person working was really nice though and was apologetic. The pearls were so good and were made fresh. I got the cactus tapioca which was pretty unique. We also got the strawberry mochi milk tea. This one was interesting since the mochi was like a melted marshmallow consistency. It was pretty good but definitely not what we were expecting. I'd come here again to try other things.

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 ordered the Mango Slush ($7.95), which just comes in a large size, and I added extra tapioca pearls to it. The bubble tea tasted high quality and I enjoyed it. I asked for only 30% sweetness and I felt like that made the mango flavour pop more while still being plenty enough sweet. The service was great and I appreciated that the lady didn't hesitate to give me a cup of hot water for my baby's formula when I asked for one. Their menu seems to have plenty of options to choose from, ranging from milk teas to fruity ones as well as different toppings (jelly, pearls, noodles).

Update: I am happy to bump my rating up from 3 stars to 4 stars due to my most recent visit…read more I took my mom here again for bubble tea and this time her Taro Smoothie was smooth without big chunks of ice. And she really enjoyed it. I was just going to get her a bubble tea but when I saw they had a special on for 2 large drinks for $11 (selected flavours and Taro Smoothie was one of the flavours), I decided to get one too. I got the Mango Probiotic Yogurt drink and added crystal pearls for an additional $0.60. My mom added regular tapioca pearls to her drink (was also an additional $0.60). I got my drink without any added sugar, while my mom chose half the amount of regular sugar. We were both satisfied with the sweetness level of our drinks.
