It was tasty and very filling, and I would go back if I can. Location: The location is very casual, and it's a great place to maybe grab and go or take a quick seat. They do have really nice indoor decorations and even some chair swings, which I thought was a beautiful touch to the location. Perfect for a casual date or just to grab bubble tea with friends. We were walking within our hotel distance, so I'm not really sure how parking works within this location. Service: The service was quick and efficient. They don't have servers; you just grab from the counter and take a seat wherever you please. The workers were really nice and grabbed our order in a timely manner.

I was in this plaza attending a luncheon with a friend. Afterwards we started walking around and…read morefound quite a few different bubble tea places. We ended up choosing this one. We ordered a purple taro milk tea and added brown sugar pearls. I was shocked that the pearls were so warm in the cold tea. But we swirled it around and waited for a bit and the temperature did adjust. They were extra sticky , chewy and sweet. Delicious. Paired well with the taro. The drink was really good. We ordered an egg waffle and it took five or ten minutes. It was a little overcooked and the hostess didn't like it, so she made us another one free of charge. That was super sweet of her and we both had one to enjoy. Great customer service! The waffle itself was light and airy. I did end up taking the first waffle so it definitely was a little crunchier than it should have been . They weren't overly sweet and were a good size. I couldn't eat it all. I have had better egg waffle in the past but this one was ok. I loved the cute little photo booth they had inside for customers to purchase photos. A cute establishment. If I'm in the area I'd definitely come back and try some other teas.

I rarely use "hidden gem" to describe a restaurant or store, but I think Now Tea is a true hidden…read moregem for bubble tea and coffee. Commerce Gate is famous for being packed with countless bubble tea shops. Most are famous franchises, such as Chatime, CoCo, Tiger Sugar, Yoyo , etc. Now Tea seems so different among them. I had never seen this store before visiting Commerce Gate. After Googling it, I found that it is also a franchise, but it operates only in Ontario, with three stores in total. Being low-profile alone does not qualify it as a hidden gem. That just means it does not spend much on marketing. What really impressed me was the flavour of its bubble tea. We tried the Milk Green Tea and Milk TieGuanYin, both with bubbles. The tea flavour was strong and full of the unique aromas of green and oolong tea, but it was also smooth going down. The bubbles had been boiled for the perfect amount of time: not so briefly that they had hard centres and not so long that they became too soft. They were very chewy, among the best bubbles I have ever had. The inside of the tea shop is spacious and has plenty of tables and seats. The lighting is bright, and I always see customers working or studying there. Other tea shops usually have very few seats and dim lighting; basically, they do not want to give you a Starbucks vibe and let you sit for too long. Another interesting fact: if you come to Commerce Gate early in the morning, before 11:00, Now Tea is the only tea shop that is open because it also serves coffee. The drinks are also less expensive than those at more famous brands. I guess they save a lot of money on marketing: lower prices and higher quality. I tried this store for the first time this week, and we have already been here three times. As a tea lover, I ask everyone reading this review: you must come here and try their drinks!

Reviewing 2oz of Coffee (located inside Now Tea)…read more This coffee counter is known for doubling up their espresso shots in their lattes, so get ready to be well caffeinated. I arrived right when they opened, and there were already a few people waiting in line. The menu is small & curated, focusing more on the coffee than specialty flavours. However, they do have a good selection of flavoured lattes. I wasn't able to see which beans they used for the espresso, but overall, their roast seems to be a bit darker/stronger, which balances out a sweeter latte well. I tried the iced biscoff and pistachio lattes. The biscoff is slightly sweeter and nuttier - definitely my fave of the two. The pistachio latte, in contrast, was disappointing. It was $1 more than the biscoff latte, looked nothing like the photo on the counter, and didn't taste much of pistachio at all. Although it looks like a separate counter, I realized that you can order drinks from either "shop" from their one main counter. I also found it a bit confusing to figure out the hours of operation, as Google said 2oz of Coffee opens at 11am, but the Now Tea shop isn't open until 12pm.

I can go without the mouse and would make the sugar level at minimal (25%) or none next time. I never tried this place before so I got 50% and it was extremely sweet. The earl gray milk tea with tapioca balls was fine. Pretty standard. Again, i would recommend minimal sugar. If you are affected by caffeine, don't drink it at night. The store is very small with limited seating spots. The service was fast when we were there. As we were waiting for our orders, a large group came in. Overall: 4/5 - I would come back if I was in the area and modify my drinks.
