I was on a very early morning walk in the neighbourhood when I saw... a tea shop?! Open in the wee hours of the morning? Perhaps it was a place that had forgotten to turn off their open sign, but no, ohohoho Charlie's Tea is actually open 24/7. They're making my early morning bubble tea desires come true.
When you step in, the place smells fragrant from the tea they are using, and the place has a classic, clean, high-ceiling vibe. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter.
I really liked their rich cheese foam -- not too sweet, and slightly salty, savoury, and a wonderful addition to cut out the flowery bitterness of their tea. It's also nice to have the crystal (konjac) pearl option, if you're watching your sugar and/or calories.
