Food/Drinks: My husband and I were walking by the street while we visited Toronto for the first time and saw this location and decided to give it a try. We truly loved our bubble tea. 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. read more

AMAZING SERVICE. One of the best bubble tea shops in the Downtown Toronto area. Every time I come to Baroness I'm met with a warm welcome and friendly staff. This Taiwanese bubble tea chain serves high quality and unique choices. They have the regular bbt drinks but additionally some fun options like purple yam , purple rice , and many cheese foam options. The seating area is also really great for customers. Definitely some good photo spots here - they have cute swing sets and neat LED displays. It's a great place to come study (because they have OUTLETS!!) or just hang out with friends read more

Best thing about Baroness is that it's open much later than other tea places. Convenient location along Yonge St in downtown Toronto. Very friendly service and lots of seating inside. Quality tea. Hope to come by again and try the grass jelly. read more

Familiar with Baroness as a brand but have never visited before this. Their Chinese says "xiao hei tang" which translates literally to little black sugar (brown sugar). Price point feels a bit high for their medium drinks and is honestly a bit pricey for large as well. Extremely welcoming service. Interior is well decorated and very aesthetic. Lots of grassy walls as a photo-op backdrop and two large swings also add to the seating plus decor. They use small, crunchy ice which means ice can go up the boba straw which can either be a free, delightful topping or unwelcome guest depending on preference. Four Seasons Milk Tea w/ Boba - four seasons is a light oolong, very similar to green tea. Boba was chewy but only slightly sweet. Milk tea leans towards a strong tea with a creamy finish. Brown Sugar Oat Milk - despite the menu only showing the medium availability, they did ask if I wanted larges. Your mileage may vary. Oat milk is trendy for a reason, it's rich and creamy which pairs fantastically with boba, especially brown sugar drinks. This is the best option for those preferring creamy drinks though it's expensive. read more

If I was still a TMU (aka Ryerson) student, would Baroness be my hang out place with my uni friends? Would it be my go to place for bubble tea? I'm quite confident in my taste for food even in the young adult version of myself... so unequivocally the answer would still be a huge no! It's not like I went there and ordered a random drink that they are not known for. I got one of their signature drink, the Lychee Paradise for $7+. While the yellow orange and blue gradient of colours made the drink IG worthy, the taste was anything but worth the steep price that I paid. The drink was crazy sweet even at 30% sugar. I honestly wondered if they got my order wrong. Also, the tea seemed to be over steeped with a slight bitter after taste, and not in a good way. What they offered is nothing special and it hurts me to say, but the bigger bubble tea chains could offer products of equal and if not better quality and price. read more

Really tasty drinks with a diverse and extensive menu. The staff were also really helpful and kind, and even personally handed our drinks to us from outside their counter. I had a brown sugar milk with pudding and everything from the sugar level and pudding was perfect. The only downside is that this place isn't well air conditioned and was still fairly hot inside when we came on a steamy summer afternoon. But there were still a lot of folks inside drinking and working on their laptops, so it clearly didn't stop them! read more

This bubble tea shop is spacious and right across from College Park. The four seasons tea is light and refreshing and the black milk tea is stronger and my personal preference. The brown sugar pearls are smaller and chewy and fun to eat. We also enjoyed the Lychee paradise which comes with coconut jelly and is refreshing and tasty. They have some unique drinks along with the common tea mixes so a good option for those who like the standard fare and creative drinks alike. read more

I was in the area and stopped by for refreshing bubble tea. I've been to Baroness before and they always have solid drinks whether you like your drink milky or fruity. I've tried some of their top 10 drinks and they are solid. However this time, I was drawn in by the Spring specials, peach with coconut/aloe jelly for $5. My partner and I are a bit sensitive to sweetness and the staff told us there is natural sweetness in the Spring Specials already so we opted for 0% sweetness. It turned out too sweet for both my partner and I. It feel like there may have been added sweetness to it. But just be warned if you're ordering the special drink that they already have a lot of sweetness to it. It tastes like a 50% sweetness level to us. Still drinkable for me, but not at all for my partner. So I'm glad we didn't add any extra sweetness to it. We went to Ikea later and diluted the drink with some water and it tasted great afterwards. However, I would hate for the person to add sweetness in this drink and be let down. Normally there isn't an issue on their other signature drinks though so it might just be this Spring Special. read more

3.5 STARS I was running errands with mr.Tran downtown, and he had told me about Baroness being the best bubble tea he ever had (he was out with friends and very drunk when one of his friends introduced him to it). Situated in a hidden spot, we managed to find it. I ordered the oolong roasted tea and mr. Tran got the Milo milk tea I believe. I did ask the friendly cashier if the oolong roasted milk tea tastes similar to Chatime roasted milk tea, although she said she didn't like to compare different bbt chains to Baroness, she claimed that their oolong roasted milk tea had a stronger tea taste, which won me over. First sip, no strong tea taste, very weak actually. Sugar level and ice level were good though. I did take a sip of mr.Trans drink and it was good, tasted like the Milo drink, but he said it wasn't the drink he had when he had it the first time (again, he was drunk). If I'm ever in the downtown area, it's a maybe for me. read more

Baroness - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I tried their most popular drinks which were Purple Rice, Lychee Paradise, and Taro with organic milk. My favorite of the three would be Lychee Paradise (50% sweet) which was refreshing and true to its name whereas the taro milk was a bit bland and lacked any true taro flavor. The purple rice was interesting, not sweet, but nothing to rave about. Service was good and helpful. I'm glad she mentioned that the Lychee Paradise was sweet so I opted for 50% sweetness and it was still quite sweet even after the ice melted. read more

I don't even know how you choose a boba place or any place to eat for that matter on Yonge street cause there is one around every corner! We passed Baroness and randomly decided to come in and give it a try! I got the Milo Milk with Boba and didn't realize it wasn't a milk tea. It was literally Milo mixed in milk, so tasted like a chocolate milk. Boba was good, chewy.. but the drink tasted exactly like Milo mix! I got exactly what I ordered, though not what I expected. I think I was just disappointed with my choice and not Baroness itself. Service was friendly and super quick! My toddler loved the drink and I didn't feel so bad giving it to him cause there was no caffeine! read more

I had bookmarked this place to try the next time I was in Toronto and I walked past 3 other tea places, one I'm familiar with and love, to finally try Baroness. I can't say I'd pick it over that one other place but it is a really close second. I got the Thai tea with oat milk and brown sugar boba and I can see why it was one of the more popular drinks on the menu. The tea wasn't too sweet with maybe a tad too much milk but the freshly made boba balanced the flavor. My friend got the ube with regular milk and liked it as well. I'm glad I finally got the chance to cross baroness off my list and I definitely recommend! read more

Cool spot downtown - they have some unique drinks here. There's ample seating to sit down for hours with friends. I opted for a drink with egg yolk in it which made the drink very rich.

Refreshing drinks. Price point similar to the higher end bbt stores nowadays but they have daily specials as well. The toppings I tried before are Aloe and Lychee Jelly. Quite refreshing, a bit sweet though. Peach Green Tea is flavourful and has a nice sweetness to the peach flavours. Green Tea is typical and overall good. Fast service as well. read more

Visiting this mom/pop boba store in Downtown Toronto. It is extremely modern in décor and has tons of drinks on their menu. Really love their vibe of the establishment, there are people who are studying, and then there are various amount of people hanging out chilling and talking with friends and always foot traffic people coming to grab a boba to go. I was the latter most of my visits here. I was needing my boba fix while here in Toronto, and they brew their tea fresh, and make it extremely quick. They know how to get their boba made and out the door type of deal. And on top of that the people who work there are nice and friendly. They are attentive and know all the perfect questions to ask. Making this my staple for DT TO when I come visit from now on. read more

Been wanting to try Baroness for a long time after seeing many aesthetic posts on Instagram. The service was very friendly; as it was my first time here, the tea-rista explained the menu and told us the top drinks to try. As per her recommendation, I ordered the black milk tea with tapioca, with her recommendation of 50% sugar due to the already sweetened brown sugar tapioca pearls. I also ordered a hot peach oolong milk tea with 0% sugar to try as well. When we got the drinks they looked very aesthetic and I was overall impressed! The black milk tea was very fragrant, I really enjoyed the unique flavour of oat milk with black milk tea and the brown sugar tapioca pearls, although the drink was still a tad sweet for me. The tea-rista warned me that the peach oolong milk tea was hot and although I was warned, it was still the hottest drink I've ever gotten from a bubble tea shop. So hot that I had to let it sit for ~15 minutes before I could even try sipping it. As a result, the tapioca turned very soft and lost its chewiness. Overall I would come back to try the other top drinks our tea-rista recommended as their flavours were very unique! read more

I'm no bubble tea connoisseur, so to me Baroness seems a bit overhyped. That said, I can see why people are bowing down and singing her praises. Even my commoner tastebud recognizes that she is of highest quality. My wife and I got the purple yam with organic milk and brown sugar pearls, and the mango cheese foam with aloe. The toppings (especially the brown sugar pearls) were absolutely regal - amazing taste, great chewy texture, good amount. As for the tea itself, it was fine. I preferred the mango to the purple yam, mainly because I could hardly taste the purple yam. Come to think of it, even the mango was a bit faint. If only their teas had a stronger or more distinct flavour, then I would be one of the Baroness's most loyal constituents. But alas, they don't. And so I will stay on the side as the Baroness waves to her (justifiably) adoring crowds. read more

So glad Baroness opened up a shop here in Toronto! Their only other Canadian location is in Vancouver. I have heard lots about their amazing tea base and was glad to finally try today. I got the Thai black tea with brown sugar tapioca, made with organic milk (can opt for oat milk). 0% sugar and less ice. The Thai tea was very flavourful and the tapioca was soft and chewy. I love how their ice is crushed and not in huge cubes. Special shoutout to the super awesome staff. They were very attentive, asking for details on how I would like my drink prepared, and offering suggestions too! Can't wait to go back and try other things on their menu! Jasmine tea is next on my list! read more

Baroness - Thai milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Baroness is a chain from Taipei, Taiwan.Their teas are of exceptional quality. Several of their ingredients are made fresh in-house. They even use organic milk instead of milk. They have oat milk options. The interior is a modern design with tables at least 2 meters apart. This Toronto location (opened Aug 2021) is their second location in Canada. Their first location is in Vancouver (opened fall 2019). Customer service is superb. All the staff are super pleasant giving service with a smile (somehow it shows through their face masks). They are very knowledgeable about the drinks. The Brown Sugar Tapioca is very soft and chewy, thus good quality. The Brown Sugar is made from a special formula. The Purple rice made fresh in-house but the Purple Yam is from powder. The Taro is made fresh in-house. We could definitely taste the smoothness and freshness of the paste. They use organic milk instead of regular milk. The Sunset series uses a fresh egg yolk and blended in the drink. It is a special Taiwanese drink. It is blended with ice making it a slush. The egg yolk is not that noticeable but the main purpose is to make is a smooth taste, which indeed it is. They have clear plastic carrying bags for takeout. The inside of the bag is shaped perfectly to the shape of drink cup so there is no shaking while carrying it. Good idea. During the pandemic, the tables are at least 2 metres apart. Thee is plexiglass at the order counter. The staff are wearing masks. The soft opening was 2021-08-16. During the grand opening on 2021-08-18, the first 88 customers get a free Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea and all drinks are 50% off. On 2021-08-16, I happen to be when a couple, customer numbers 1 and 2, were there. They were from Vancouver and were regulars at Baroness in Vancouver.  They raved about the quality of the drinks. Since they moved to Toronto, they could not find any other bubble tea shops of comparable quality! There were so happy Baroness Toronto finally opened. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. The washrooms are gender-neutral and wheelchair accessible. Review 2021-081 You can also find me on Instagram @chuan_chee. Thanks. read more

Had a craving for bbt and the timing of seeing ads pop up these days are getting scary. Baroness showed up at the right time so I decided to make my way down here to give it a shot. Staff was warm and welcoming and that really stood out along with the great interior decor. Staff was knowledgeable and patient in providing specific details. All said and done, opted for the Thai style and the matcha. Both cups I opted for 30% sugar and I would say that is more than enough sweetness without masking the actual flavours. Bubbles were soft all the way through without a hard/stiff center. Overall great bbt! read more

Best bubble tea in Canada honestly. Only 1 location in Ontario. 2 locations in Canada. As soon as you enter the store it is welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. Different from a regular bubble tea spot. The customer service is amazing at this location.

Good people. Good service. Good drinks. Lots of choices of tea. Bubble waffles are coming soon ! :)

We were really happy that we could get our drinks with oat milk, so we did that for both our drinks. The Thai Milk Tea was very tasty and had a great tea flavour. We're found that milk tea with oat milk has a strange taste at other bubble tea stores, but this one had a really good taste. The Taro Milk Tea was amazing and had some really great taro. It was quite a challenge not to just drink the whole thing in five minutes. We totally enjoyed our drinks here and will definitely be back for more oat milk drinks! read more

Although I currently call the six my home, I actually grew up in Vancouver, and still frequent Vancity as I have many friends/relatives that still live there. I'd been a fan of the Vancouver location for years, and unfortunately they had nothing quite like it in Toronto. Vancouver was there only Canadian location, until this past week when they opened up shop in Toronto! Besides that IG worthy drinks like the layered lychee paradise, and of course the brown sugar boba, my favorite drink from them has to be their Taro Oat Milk! Unlike 99% of other bubble tea places that have purple colored taro drinks (because they use artificially colored taro powder) Baroness uses fresh taro root mixed with oat milk to give you a freshness you cant get anywhere else :) read more

This is a very nice bubble tea shop. Upon ordering the lychee paradise, the cashier let me know that it's on the sweeter side and recommended that I get 30% sugar. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. It came with jelly and the hint of blue was a nice touch. They have a fair amount of seating and very grammable. Will be back! read more

Let me first of say thank you to Baroness for my drink and Janice for organizing! I opted for the brown sugar as I was told this is one of their most popular drinks on the menu. I was asked if I wanted sugar and ice level adjusted. Which this is great! Most bbt places who does have brown sugar has fixed level of sugar and you cannot change the sugar level. But not here!!! You can change it to your desire. It's honestly so good, and probably one of the best brown sugar bbt that I've tasted in a while! Also! Shout out to the staff, they were so welcoming and friendly throughout the entire time I was there. read more

Visited this place I always walk by for the first time and I was left very happy my sister and I got their Spring specials which offer a Large Peach Green Tea and Mango Green Tea both with aloe and coconut jelly all for $4.88 each.

Got takeout here through ubereats and it was almost $10 for the Toffee + Organic Milk drink with brown sugar pearls. Quite expensive for bbt, and the size is small too. However they use organic milk so that's probably why, they also make their boba in house. Overall I don't understand the hype tbh, the drink was pretty mediocre and so was the tapioca - it was also sweetened not just with brown sugar but also honey. Kind of a strange flavour if you're not used to it. The toffee milk itself was pretty okay, not much strong toffee flavour or anything. I'd give 3/5 for the drink but 5/5 for the service - they were really nice even though they were busy and I was helped immediately. So 4/5 overall. Maybe their other drinks are better but I wouldn't bother going again. read more

A great find! I always get my same order, jasmine milk tea with boba, half sugar and half ice. I enjoyed my drink! I think the jasmine flavor comes out though it could be a bit stronger, and the boba was nice and chewy. It was black sugar boba and my preference is usually honey boba but this was still very good. Clean shop with aesthetic decor. I'd recommend! read more
