The guided tea session was relaxing, and it was interesting to learn about traditional Chinese tea culture. The space is elegant, and I appreciated the reading area and prayer room, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. That said, there were a few downsides. The tea room is connected to the front drink shop, so it can become a bit noisy during busy times, making it harder to fully enjoy the quiet experience. There is also no washroom on-site, which is something to be aware of if you're planning to stay for the full two-hour session. The snacks were fairly minimal compared to what you might expect from a traditional afternoon tea, so I would recommend coming mainly for the tea experience rather than the food. Overall, it's an interesting cultural experience if you're curious about traditional Chinese tea, but there are a few areas that could be improved to make the experience feel more complete.

So much tea and matcha that you can grab to make drinks at home with as well. They also seem to brew fresh tea pots as well which is super cool.

They…read morehave outdoor seating area but not comfortable and inviting enough for you to enjoy your lattes. I have high hopes that the matcha here will be good since I always see this spot packed with people but was really disappointed when I tried their popular Strawberry Matcha Latte. It's incredibly frustrating to pay a premium price for a matcha latte only to end up with a dull, muted matcha flavour and overly milky drink. This is also one of those places that doesn't let you customize ice level so you're left with an over diluted drink that you can barely taste the matcha flavour. Their cakes aren't any better specifically the matcha roll cake. Tasted blah and has an underwhelming matcha filling. Yes the cake is soft but at the same time tasted gummy and has a dense texture which gives off a floury flavour. Unfriendly, unwelcoming and rude staff who leaves your takeout order on the counter without handing it over directly to you. Definitely will not return back to this place.

This is easily one of the best Vietnamese coffee and tea spots we've visited in the city. The…read morecoffee is bold and authentic, and we love that they regularly rotate their seasonal drink menu. The Cookie Butter Latte was already sold out when we arrived, but we got to try the Cinnamon Latte and Brown Sugar Spanish Oat Latte from their new signature drink additions. Both had a strong espresso base that still let the cinnamon and brown sugar flavors shine. The Hanoi Egg Coffee instantly brought us back to Vietnam. It was rich, creamy, custardy, and exactly what we'd been craving since our trip. If our caffeine tolerance allowed it, we'd happily work our way through the entire menu in one sitting. The cafe itself has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for catching up with friends, studying, or enjoying a board game date. They also carry a selection of Vietnamese snacks, baked goods, and seasoning kits to recreate your favorite dishes at home. Between the warm staff and inviting space, it's the kind of place you'll want to keep coming back to.

The menu is very large, so our cashier helped us narrow down options. She recommended the roasted coconut milk tea, and the pandan lotus milky. The roasted coconut was lovely, with crunchy bits of coconut, which gave the drink a unique flavor. You don't see a lot of drinks with Pandan, however, they do it really well here. We will be back to try other flavours when we get the craving for some good tea.

It has Sago and Tapioca in the drink; both were quite good. The Halo Halo had too much ice so I'm not sure it is worth $9.99.

Nothing really stood out to me on the menu for drinks but I tried the Hojicha smoothie with cheese milk foam and pearls. It had a very strong flavour and the pearls were perfectly cooked!

After sampling the aromas, I chose Purple Rain. Its floral, sweet grape flavor was impossible to resist. Once you've picked your tea, you choose your base (milk tea, tea latte, or black tea) and a topping. I went with milk tea for its richer taste, paired with water chestnut bubbles. Since only one person was working, there was a short wait, but it was worth it. My drink arrived with super cute drawing on the cup. The tea itself had a subtle, delicate fruit flavor, and the water chestnut bubbles were refreshingly crisp. Honestly, I liked them even more than traditional tapioca. Overall, I REALLY enjoyed my experience at 9 Sips and will definitely be back. Its balance of an elevated tea experience (reminiscent of Chahalo), but also with the fun, playful spirit of bubble tea culture fills a real niche, and it won me over. I'll be back :)

I like that they use fresh milk for the latte option, and you can customize the sugar and ice levels. They have some unique flavours such as the Pink Blush which has a strong lychee aroma, Purple Rain with grape flavour, and Imperial Red which uses oolong tea and has a rich aroma. Each tea flavour can be ordered as milk tea, latte (using fresh milk), or lemon tea. Ambiance is quiet, calm, and relaxing - different than most other bubble tea places in downtown. Service is a bit slow but it's worth the wait. Excellent, refreshing tea with good take-away packaging.
