So excited for Brossard to have its own little bubble tea joint! Home to one of the largest Asian communities in the province, I can't believe there weren't more places to enjoy this refreshing and fun beverage.
Located in the same strip mall close to the C&T Chinese supermarket, this Chatime outlet shares its space with Rolopan crepe which serves sweet and savory crepes that are handmade on the spot.
The store just opened on Sunday August 12 so I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere. I randomly came upon it when I was looking to get a drink from "Maison de Soya" next door. The inside was bustling, staff was enthusiastic and they had a buy one get one free for drinks.
Chatime has a range of milk teas, smoothies, juices and flavored teas that can be customized with your level of sugar, ice and toppings such as a tapioca pearls, jelly and other varieties.
We tried a chocolate beverage, classic milk tea and lychee flavoring which were well made to our specifications and tasted delicious. Compared to other bubble tea chains though, I find the drinks quite expensive. For a large tea with bubbles, it'll be anywhere from 5.75 to 6$ plus tax.
We did not try crepes from Rolopan however they have a menu display with plastic food similarly to what you would find in Japan so it gives you a great idea of what to expect. Priced at around 6$ a crepe, this could make a light snack or dessert.
The space is pretty small and seems to only have a take out counter as there were no tables or seats, however this could change once the crowds die down. I'll be updating my review with more details as I definitely plan on coming back in the next weeks.
Note that they do take credit cards and they have a rewards app that lets you earn points towards free beverages! read more
