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.

This is just a review for the mango pomelo sago. It's a great drink!…read more I wanted a medium size, but they only had large cups at the time. It was $8.25 CAD for the large drink. They made it so quickly. This is a pick up and leave type of place. No seating; no bathroom. Credit card accepted. This is located in Chinatown. It's a small storefront so easily missed.

The Short Version: Chain bubble tea. Consistent and…read moreinexpensive. They have $4.99 daily specials at this location. The Long Version: When I'm on vacation I rarely go to places that I have access to at home but I will make exceptions if I can get a deal that isn't available at home, lol. I love bubble tea and I generally like CoCo and often get it at home (in Ottawa). The Coco locations in Ottawa don't have daily specials but this one in Montreal did. They have regular-sized drinks for $4.99 and it's a different one each day. It was a Saturday and on Saturdays their special was Mango Green Tea with Grass Jelly. I love this combination so I popped in to get one. I got no sugar, less ice and it was perfect and consistent with other CoCo locations where I've had this drink. Service was quick and pleasant. They don't allow you to collect reward points at this location though. I thought it was weird, but that's what the cashier told me. Oh well. The location is small but has some seating inside.

Overall: B // 4 stars…read more Fascinated to see a Chicha San Chen in Montreal being much more lowkey and without a queue unlike the NYC one. 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.

In the simplest form, this is cheap, reliable, and gets you your bubble tea fix. It's not the best…read morethat I've tried, but it's also not the worst. It's purely that -- ok. Service-wise, it was great. Simple, fast, and ready with a bubble tea in your hand within a minute or two. The store is not a sit-down spot, but more of a small stall where you grab and go. I've been to several Chatime shops in the States, so I have an idea of what to expect and it's pretty much how Chatimes are rated in the States as well. We stopped by while going to nearby Old Montreal and happened to walk into Chinatown. I wanted to see what Chinatown in Montreal was like and truly got an idea for it. It's busy and all the stores are bustling and open crazy late -- just like this spot. This spot is open 24/7, which is unheard of in the other Chinatowns that I've been to in my life. We tried Presotea near our hotel so right away we had an idea of which bubble tea shop was considered higher-end/pricier. This spot was definitely for the cost-saving person who just wants a quick fix of bubble tea. The difference between the two is obvious. I ordered regular milk tea with the QQ topping. I like the QQ topping (which is nata de coco jelly with regular tapioca). It's half lychee jelly and half black pearls. The bubbles did not have the flavor that the Presotea bubbles had. Chatime is simply plain with no taste in their bubbles, which is fine. Tea-wise - I could not immediately tell the difference. However, in the end, each shop is meant for two different people.

Absolutely delicious! I tried the Mango Solar Bubble Tea and the Matcha Red Bean, and both were…read moreamazing! The Mango Solar Bubble Tea was super refreshing -- the mango flavor was vibrant and real, not artificial at all. The bubbles were perfectly chewy and added a fun touch to every sip. It felt like sunshine in a cup! The Matcha Red Bean was a beautiful balance of earthy matcha and sweet red beans. The matcha wasn't bitter, and the creaminess paired so well with the chewy red bean bits. A must-try if you love authentic matcha drinks. Friendly service, fresh ingredients, and unique flavors -- I'll definitely be back!

Really glad Presotea opened in CDN!…read more Did you know the name "Presotea" comes from the combination of two words - "pressure" and "tea"? It refers to the unique brewing process that brews tea leaves using a high-pressure espresso-style machine to extract the flavour quickly - this process is called "pressure-steaming"! Presotea uses high-quality ingredients, such as freshly brewed tea, fresh fruits, and premium milk to create their beverages. All drinks are made to order, ensuring that they are always fresh and high quality. Here's here's what we had on our last BBT run! * Brown Sugar Panda Milk Tea * Dragon Fruit Cheese Cloud * Brown Sugar Grass Jelly Latte * Sakura Hokkaido Milk Tea * Mango Green Tea with Mango Jelly Boba * Salted Milk Foam Jasmine Green Tea Pro Tip: Although we tried different varieties, I still think their specialty is anything with fresh mango! Go on Sunday afternoons for shorter line ups!

Of course there is currently no dining but they offer snacks and bubble tea for takeout. There's also a nice wall for picture ops!

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.

Service was great, quick and friendly. They had a buzzer to let you know when your order was ready. They made fresh waffles that came out in 10 minutes. The waffles are shaped like bubble tea and you can get it with fillings. Talk about adorable?! The smell of the waffles is enough to make anyone hungry. The teas themselves were great. I got the brown sugar latte and it was delicious. Not too sweet and excellent warm for a cold winter day. My partner got the lemon green tea and he raves about it. It was really refreshing! They also allow you to choose your level of sweetness and amount of ice, as with other bubble tea places. Overall, their bubble teas were a hit for us!
