9Sips is a beautiful bubble tea shop with a bright, open interior that feels pristine and clean. Upon ordering, the staff member was incredibly friendly, walking me through the different tea varieties and letting me smell each one from their cute display pots. 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 :) read more

Nice tea selection with the ability to choose among plain teas, milk teas, tea lattes, and lemon teas. Tea types include black tea, green tea, oolong tea, and herbal tea (non-caffeinated). 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. read more

So I never thought to stop in here until recently and I must say this might be the best milk tea in town. I am a sucker for good milk tea with a strong tea flavour and this shop has it. They have lots of different tea flavours to choose from including black, oolong, jasmine and green teas. I personally really enjoy their black tea flavours including the Black Myth and Midnight Peacock. The space is nice and there is some seating and wifi. This is a local Toronto store and I've met the owner who is very sweet. I would absolutely recommend this place if you like a good high quality milk tea. They also have your classic bubble tea toppings as well. read more

9Sips Tea Shoppe - Midnight Peacock - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Nice tea shop with friendly staff. Strong teas and a variety of selections. Staff is happy to walk you through the teas and recommendations on what pairs well. I had a lemon tea with no sugar and lychee jelly. Tea gets pretty bitter/sour so it's not for everyone. But the teas have flavour and everything is made fresh. read more

Highly recommend this for any tea lovers! A blend of high tea and bubble tea where you can customize your base as well as milk options. I decided to go with their pink blush offering, which has soft fruity notes. The drink itself paired perfectly with the milk and I was still able to taste the actual tea base, which I appreciated. The lychee jelly was chewy and delicious as well. The lady at the counter was friendly and walked me through the options very well and made a note of my sugar and ice requests. The drink came in reasonably quickly as well. While there is some seating available, I would recommend indulging the tea on the go. Overall, a great experience and good quality tea! Will be back and hoping I'm able to buy their tea bags in the future to savor at home :) read more

Omg we just found our fave tea spot in Toronto or all of NA lol! Granted we haven't been to many (any) tea places in Toronto in recent years. And the only reason we visited this time was due to a cancelled flight at YYZ that forced us to get into downtown Toronto for a few hours to kill part of the day. But man, it definitely rivals if not surpasses some of the our usual spots at home, and we're based in SoCal! Back to the tea - the menu is extensive with several options for black, green, and oolong tea each. You choose the tea, pick the milk latte or lemon tea base (haven't had the latter as an option much and it's nice and refreshing), add your topping if any, and customize your ice and sugar level as usual. We tried a variety of combinations and they were all delicious! The kids liked the non caffeinated option, and I loved my smoky essence! They also had a bunch of cute little teapots at the counter that you could smell the different teas - that's how I knew I'd love the smoky essence- but they had a couple that we really liked but didn't find on the menu while we ordered. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to come back! read more

The place is modern with a few tables and seats. we ordered two iced milk tea. one jasmine and one black tea. both were rich in flavors. the two teas were made to order with customer levels of sugar and ice. the bad part: there's a chalky residue mouthfeel aftertaste from both teas. this was not what i expected from presumed higher end milk tea place. i haven't had a milk tea with a chalky after feel in decades. would not return. read more

I love 9sips! This place is one of my favorite bubble tea place. Honestly love their teas and can't wait to try out all of them. Staff are always so friendly, acknowledgable and helpful. The place only has a few seating options but still great. My usual go to is the blooming jasmine but with a milk tea base, 25% sugar if not 0 and chestnut popping boba. Second is between the black myth and goddess brew. Honestly can't go wrong with any of the options they have on the menu. Can't wait to come back again! read more

This is a brand new small Chinese tea shoppe. It is soft-opened on 2025-05-23. I happened to walk by 10 mins after they opened! They have many tea options, like jasmine, green, oolong, etc. If you want them to use fresh milk, it costs +$1.00. There are also a wide variety of topping options. During the soft-opening period, the offer BOGO (buy one get one free). I ordered the following: 1. Nile's Mist ($6.99) with Fresh Milk (+$1.00) and no toppings. 50% sugar. Herbal Tea (Caffeine-free), creamy blend, sweet undertones. 2. Blooming Jasmine ($6.99) with Fresh Milk (+$1.00) and no toppings. 50% sugar. Green Tea and Jasmine. Of course I got the BOGO. I was served by the owner and operator. The customer service was excellent. She told me that 50% sugar is equivalent to 75% sugar at other bubble tea places due to the other ingredients. Both teas had excellent taste. I remembered to stir the Blooming Jasmine before drinking (because the sugar would be at the bottom). I drank the Nile's Mist 40 mins later and forgot to stir it. It was sweet, but after stirring it, it was as desired. The interior was minimalist. I forgot to ask if there will be tables in the future because there is enough space in the back of the long and narrow shop. There will back outdoor seating hopefully in 2026. The shoppe is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom and it is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and paid parking garages.

Super impressed by this small tea shoppe on Edward St. (beside T&T Supermarket)! Ordered the blooming jasmine milk tea w/ pearls and you can definitely taste the tea. But like others mentioned, drinks are on the pricier side here. Quality is there so I think it's worth it to pay a bit more. Seating is limited. There's 2 chairs by the entrance, a small nook for 2-3 people and a small table with 2 chairs in the back. There's definitely enough space to add a few more chairs so would like to see that! Will be back to try different items on their menu. read more

9Sips Tea Shoppe - Blooming jasmine milk tea w/ tapoica pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a legit tea shop using real fresh tea leaves to brew their teas and real milk. I tried the seven mile scent milk tea with pearls and it was delicious. The pearls were nice and chewy and cooked just right. Order 50 or 70% sweet max as it is sweeter than other stores, the blooming jasmine lemon tea is also delicious and refreshing. Their focus is on teas so no fruity slush or fancy mixes here. They do have alternate milk available for those who cannot handle regular milk. Highly recommend this spot for bubble tea! read more

9Sips Tea Shoppe - Seven mile scent tea with pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

They seem to be a brand new local business! Located just behind Atrium on Bay on Edward St near Yonge & Dundas, beside T&T. They're open daily from 12:30-9:30pm. I've been coming here almost daily since soft opening for my stress bbt because I work nearby, and I was hoping to try all their drinks since their menu is simple and straightforward. I think at this point I'm at 4 of 9 drinks. All the staff is super friendly and welcoming. They're really responsive and open to feedback, especially since they're new. They've always told me that if I'm unsatisfied from first sip, I could always let them know so they can adjust which was a really nice surprise! At this point, they definitely recognize me because I'm probably the only one who orders tapioca + water-chestnut boba with 25% sweetness - which I highly recommend by the way! It's a perfect medley of crunch and chewy that feels good to sip through. The 25% sugar is based on their recommendation to ensure you get a balanced tea flavour, since their menu is all about highlighting different tea bases. Their menu is ordered by strongest tea flavour from the top of the list to lightest tea flavour at the bottom of the list. They have a caffeine-free tea option. The structure of the menu itself is very easy and straightforward: 1. Pick the tea base ($6.99-$7.99) - they include information on the tasting notes and type of tea 2. Pick the cream/milk base - choice of lactose-free milk tea or fresh milk (additional charge) - I hope they consider offering non-dairy, iced tea options in the future! 3. Pick your toppings (+$0.80-$1.50) - choice between tapioca, grass jelly, lychee jelly, Oreo crunch, coffee jelly, water chestnut boba 4. Choose ice and sugar level - Sugar levels (%) - 0 / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 - ice - none / less / normal Everything is served in a typical large-sized cup. I've tried the following tea bases (in order) so far: 1. D. Seven miles scent $6.99 2. F. blooming jasmine $6.99 3. B. Midnight peacock $7.99 4. J. Nile's Mist $6.99 So far, my favourites are F. Blooming Jasmine for it's light jasmine flavour, and B. Midnight peacock for its classic milk tea flavour. I felt Seven Miles Scent was too strong and had bitter notes (But I also got this on their third day of soft open so that might not be the case). Nile's Mist is very sweet even with 25% sugar. Highly recommend 0% for that one. They had a grand opening promo this week and I won 2 free drinks and 10% off my next drink! I'm really happy they're open and am excited to make this spot my go-to. They have a back and front entrance. I think they're takeout only, not sure if they'll be adding seats because of the narrow set up of the unit. Highly recommend others check this place out! read more

I got a chance to try their goddess brew jasmine lemon tea and it was the perfect refreshing drink during a heat wave like today. You can really taste the quality of the brewed tea and fresh lemon. I got 75% sugar which was perfect for me but if you like less sweet, you can request that. I'll definitely check out their store ammo try some of their other teas. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! There are nine teas to choose from, and you can smell each of them at the counter (contained in small teapot-shaped ceramics), to get a sense for which sort you'd like to have. Midnight Peacock with their house milk tea and Seven Mile Scent with fresh milk are my favourites. The teas they serve here are all distinct and nuanced in flavour unlike most milk tea shops (chains or local) I've been to - and I suggest trying each by themselves without toppings to enjoy the different aromas and tasting notes before thinking of how to pair them with toppings. The people at the counter that I've spoken to have all been wonderfully accommodating and knowledgeable about the tea they serve. read more
