This is one of the first bubble tea stores in downtown Toronto, opening around Sep 2011. We used to come here a lot, 9 times between 2019-06-27 and 2021-12-04. We came back on 2024-12-31 because we received a gift card. We ordered a Chocolate Hazel Delight (large $6.50). We added pearls for +$0.70. It tasted as expected. The customer service was good because there was no one else in the shop. There were 5 small tables and a long counter for standing beside. One table had lots of crumbs on it. The shop was reasonably modern and clean. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. They also sell cakes and cookies (new item) from Bakecode, their sister company. There is free WiFi. The shop is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, but it is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

A decent Chatime! Almost as similar as all other locations, including pastries at this one, but the QQ Strawberry tasted a bit off.. I think maybe different water than I'm used to? Not sure. Inside was fairly clean and organized. read more

Came in cus I desperately needed the washroom and there are none you can use downtown without buying something . Food 5/5: just got a lychee juice with boba so I could use their washroom but dang it was actually quite refreshing...almost impressed against my will. Ambiance 2/5: it's a boba shop...surprisingly nice inside but very hot. It was like 83 F outside with a bit of a breeze and it was significantly hotter inside. Service: 5/5: great service, friendly, nice, fast Value 3/5: pretty average for a boba shop in terms of price. read more

Has good specials. There is a kiosk to order but you can also order via the counter. Interior is also pretty nice (seems like they have renovated). The small size is pretty small so I do recommend to get the large size read more

So disappointed!!!! The staff did not understand the promotion rules and got confused. They also were not friendly. I came on April 19, 2025 and waited for so long just because the staff had to ask the manager. The store was also not accessible for stroller and the door had to be opened manually. read more

I've visited this Chatime on numerous occasions and each time I find it very busy, so service is always a bit slow. I ordered mango green tea 30% sugar, less ice with mango popping bubbles and the drink itself tasted great. I just thought it was a bit expensive even with the daily specials they have going on this summer. If you're looking to save time and not stand in line, there are better bubble tea options around that area! read more

Chatime - Dundas - Got the new summer drinks Great service - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This was the first chatime store that opened in Toronto and I remember the hype for this place was real. I've been to this location countless time over the past years since I used to live 5 mins away. When I moved I was so sad that I wasn't going to have another chatime store near me. Recently I came back due to the lunar new year event and being a huge BTS fan I was super excited when the BT21 collaboration was announced. I ordered the new Kosmos drink which was a white grape/white peach butterfly pea tea mixed with a shimmer. Honestly, this drink is so pretty and the taste is absolutely refreshing! The plastic cup was so cute with the BT21 characters (only available in large for the collab cup). I also ordered a large mango grapefruit with tapioca, my biggest disappointment was the tapioca. It was undercooked and hard, the tapioca has been pretty inconsistent and I remember chatime's tapioca was one of my favorite as the texture was chewy and soft enough for my liking. Oh how times have changed! The grapefruit really overpowered the mango as I could barely taste any mango in my drink. read more

Chatime - Dundas - a hand holding a cup of tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Honestly, for delivery bubble tea, this was quite nice! AC broke during a heat wave and the family decided bubble tea was the cooling choice to make. Ordered a few fruit teas and I chose the month's special: brown rice green milk tea (with sago.) Delivery was quick and cute (everything is purple!) and everyone enjoyed their offerings. The brown rice milk tea is nice and hearty. Kind of like a less sweet horchata. The sago was nice and soft, and at 80% sweetness, not too sweet at all. Had they still been in the city, would have stopped by again. But, will just have to get my fix in Toronto! read more

This location has the BEST bubble tea- they double check your order to make sure it's exactly how you like it. The ingredients are tasty and the perfect viscosity. The staff are incredibly nice and so kind. The place is pet friendly and a great place to just chill out and study. Go HERE, order online HERE, if you want great tasting bubble tea and snacks! read more

Made a trip here after walking all over the city on a hot day.. I really needed something refreshing. I found out during this visit that they have popping boba now! There are 3 flavours - mango, lychee, and green apple. I added the mango flavoured one to my peachy lychee drink. If you haven't had popping boba before the outside is a really thin layer and the inside is a flavoured syrup. I say syrup because it was thicker liquid. It's really nice if you get a lower % sugar or I could see it being too sweet. It is a little overpowering though so I mostly tasted that without the drink's flavour. read more

Chatime - Dundas - two drinks on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

With a buy one, get one free Vicinity offer my friend and I made our way over after dinner. It was a Friday night and fairly busy. The long line gave us time to consider all the menu options before finally deciding on what we wanted. My friend ordered the lychee slush and I got the matcha with strawberry. I was eyeing the matcha and cookies and cream but the combination seemed odd to me even though I like both flavours, separately. I showed the girl working the cash my offer and even though I didn't have my card with me she offered to look it up with my phone number. Good on her for helping me out. The drinks were up on the counter before we knew it. We took a moment to enjoy our first sips and then we decided to finish our drinks elsewhere since there was way too many people inside and it was getting stuffy. read more

Chatime - Dundas - Lychee slush & matcha and strawberry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We stopped by here for bubble tea and our drinks were ok. I found my lychee slushy drink a bit too sweet at the 50% sugar level but that's ok. The tapioca was good. My boyfriend ordered the tea drink they advertised and we both found it to be just ok. What would really improve this establishment is getting rid of the smells coming from the washroom and having a dairy free option for any of the taro drinks. This would have brought the rating up to the competitors that have found a way to make a taro tea drink dairy free. Would I return? Maybe when in the area. read more

We tried out Chatime's new Pistachio Mustachio winter special drink. It was a pistachio matcha latte topped with sea salt crema. It doesn't come with pearls but my added extra pearls as a topping.But the pistachio flavour is too subtle and light that I can barely taste it... kind of disappointed. My all time favourite drink is still the Brown Sugar Roasted Milk Tea Pistachio Mustachio Brown Sugar Roasted Milk Tea read more

3.5 stars So many bubble tea options! Seating is available and restrooms are in the back. We dropped by after lunch and it wasn't that packed. The employees weren't all that friendly and quite slow. The end result was a winner though. They really know how to fork out tasty bubble teas. Lots of tea and flavor options. You can create your own special: choose your tea or coffee, toppings, sweetness level and ice level. Decided to try the Strawberry Pudding Au Lait (Regular). It was sweet and had a natural strawberry flavor. Blended well. A generous serving of pudding sits on the bottom. It was smooth and slightly sweet. Total came to $5.31 with tax. Definitely pricey, but a tasty treat indeed. read more

I had to come all the way to Toronto, Canada to find some of the best ever boba/pearls!!! Coming from Vegas where I've tried quite a few different boba spots, I was pleasantly surprised to find such a tasty spot. There seems to be quite a line each time we walked past this place so today we decided to wait in that line. Boy oh boy am I glad we did. The line seems SO long but they cleared it quite fast. They have a large easy to read menu with a ton of options. I ordered a large coffee smoothie extra thick with pearls and regular sugar. The pearls were perfectly squishy. Only complaint I have is their straws are not nearly large enough. It was an easy fix though. I stopped down the street at the convenience store where they sell "slurpees" with gigantic straws. The location is ideal as its blocks away from the actual China Town here in Toronto and a block away from the mall. If I'm lucky we will make another trip over before they close for the night! read more

Chatime - Dundas - Awesomeness! Tasted SO good! 5/5. Ordered extra thick with pearls. Normal sugar. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fresh Milk Grass Jelly Drink regular size ($4.75) at Chatime! Was it good? Totally, but it is on the pricey side. In between meals and looking for somewhere to chill and wifi a little. Chatime is a great alternative near the Bay and Dundas area. Since Chatime is new, everything is sparkling clean... super clean washrooms!! I think I will come back to try out other tea based drinks, as Chatime, means Tea Time! read more

Where do you go when you're only in town for one day? Obviously, bubble tea! We were downtown so my friend suggested that we go to Chatime after our ramen lunch. Perfect way to finish off our meal and cool down from the heat. This place was awesome. First time that I've ever had grass jelly and really like how they give you the choice of how much sugar you want and even ice! Fully customizable, every BBT should be like this and way too many options (a good problem to have). Anyways, we tried: - Chatime roasted milk tea with grass jelly ($4.70 for a large). Delicious. I ordered it with less ice and 50% sugar, which was perfect. If Iived in Tdot, would definitely come here all the time. - Hazelnut chocolate milk tea with pudding ($4.20 for regular + $0.50 for pudding). Definitely on the sweeter side but the pudding was interesting option to add to my friend's drink. - QQ honeydew milk tea ($4.50 for regular) Great spot. Place was consistently busy but not overwhelming. Definitely check it out and try something new from their massive menu. read more

This seems like a popular chain in Toronto. Every time I come here, there are about 10 people in line at all times no matter what time you go. 10 people when I walk in. 10 people when I walk out. The shop is not very big but there are some seating available. There are 3 different sizes you can get - regular, large and super cup. I don't even know how you'd even hold the super cup since it's got girth. You can also specify the amount of ice and sugar you want (more, less, etc). My favorite from here is the Taro smoothie with rainbow jelly. A large of this will set you back about $5.50. Pretty hefty for a drink, but seems to be the norm these days and it's pretty delicious. They do load it with tons of jelly, though. read more

This is probably the most frequented Chatime location downtown due to its close proximity to Yonge and Dundas. I go here a few times and my feelings on this location remains the same. There are always long lineups, it's tiny, and the AC is usually not turned on. The customer service is also a hit and miss - too many staff working in a small space so everything is a bit chaotic and scrambled. My drinks always come out tasting fine, but I always dread having to wait in line in a stuffy humid room. The Yonge & College + Queen & Spadina locations are way better - go there for a better Chatime experience! read more

My friends kept raving about Chatime being the best BBT in downtown Toronto. We were actually back in the hotel after dinner, but decided to make a trek out here. The lineup was long and the seats were all taken so we stood around until one of us can get a table while the others ordered. I can't remember exactly what I ordered, but it had grass jelly in it. It tasted pretty good to me, but I wish I ordered something with tapioca instead. That's more my flavor, but it was still otherwise worth the trek. read more

Just like other chatimes, they got decent bubble tea. We got the brown rice green milk tea as well as the earl grey milk tea with coconut jelly. They were both refreshing with a pretty strong tea flavor. The best part of this store is that it closes late so it was still open when all the other places were closed. Even though it was close to midnight, there was a lineup inside the store. However, the wait time wasn't too long. read more

Tried the Black Tie the day it came out and it was so good. The Black Tie is different than the regular Thai milk tea as it has a shot of espresso and grass jelly. If you're looking for a caffeine high, this is the drink to go. I would highly recommemd this drink! Since it was the first day of release, the line was a bit long. It took us about 15-20 minutes from the time of lining up and receiving the drinks. read more

Chatime - Dundas - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Late post - Spring/Summer 2013 My friends who work downtown always tell me how good this bubble tea place is, so I've decided to check it out for myself :) Already a long line up *sigh* but since it was my first time there... it would buy me some time to check out their extensive menu while I wait in line. The line actually moved fairly quickly! I have always heard people say, when checking out a new bubble tea place for the FIRST time, you MUST order the original milk tea with tapioca. Why? Because if you know the original one taste good, everything else should taste good! I don't know what mentality that is hahaha... but I did end up order the original milk tea with tapioca XD You can also choose the level if sweetness and how much ice you want in your drink. Very thoughtful :) But I was pretty clueless at this first encounter, so I just got the REGULAR sweet with REGULAR ice lol. Next time I know I can make adjustments! My drink did come out a tad too sweet for me. And the only problem was that I didn't like the texture/chew of the tapioca :( I did go back a second time during the summer. This time I ordered the roasted milk tea with grass jelly. IT WAS SO TASTY!!! It wasn't as sweet even though I got REGULAR, maybe because it was roasted? *thumbs up* and the grass jelly was very smooth :) I'm sticking with that one! read more

I came back here a day after and got the same drink, QQ mango Taiwan juice with coconut jelly and pearls. This time I got no ice and 0% sugar and a large. This was much better. I would never get ice there again! And 0% sugar is perfect. Yum!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 0% sweet and No Ice!!! Large is the size I'm used to and a pretty good deal for the extra $! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and get their stamp card if you're a local. I need to try more drinks here! read more

This location is always really busy due to its proximity to the Eaton Centre. Definitely would not recommend if you're looking for a place to hangout for a bit, because it's crowed and the seats are super cramped. For takeout, the line is usually 10-15mins wait, and yeah the servers are usually pretty impatient and a little rude due to all the customers they have to serve each day. So far the quality of the drinks are on par with other, slower paced locations though, so no complaints here. read more

The place that started it all!! I had my very first bubble tea here as I had a friend at the time who was a barista there and helped ordered a drink for me nearly 5 years ago (and it hasn't been the same since!). To this day, I'd say the quality of the drinks has not changed nor the long line of people getting their bbt fix. I still come to this location as their Chatime milk tea is one of my favorite drinks to get. read more

This review is for this specific Chatime only. I find that this location is significantly slower than any other Chatimes even when they are no lines (may be due to many Ritual Orders). I also find that it's always very hot and humid inside... even in the winter... I would usually end up waiting outside until i see my drink through the window. Quality wise, its the same as any other Chatime. read more

Yup! What's not to love at this place. Drinks always well made and a good selection. Service is quick and drinks always tasty

Been to this chatime multiple times and I usually like their drinks. However the other day, I ordered a lychee green tea and it tasted quite off..tasted more like lemon and had an odd aftertaste reminiscent of detergent? Hopefully this was an off day, but I definitely don't recommend getting the lychee green tea. Stick to their milk teas! read more

One of my favorite places for bubble tea. Often there are long lines and no seats inside to enjoy your drink. Prices are average and the quality of the drinks are better than most places. The 1L super cup is worth getting if you can drink a lot of bubble tea or willing to split it with a friend. I would recommend coming here if line ups are not too long. read more

Chatime - Dundas - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Due to the way the floor-plan is arranged, combined with there being constant streams of people coming in, getting in and out would be an interesting experience. Orders are taken on your left up at the front, with the line extending towards the back. On your right is a row of tables along the wall. So you're basically making your way to the back, squeezing past all the people that are waiting in line.. Probably don't expect to find a seat during evenings. Atrium on Bay is just around the corner if you need somewhere to sit. This location doesn't appear to do uber eats, which is a good thing because the lines would probably be going out the door. They don't take tap, so that may be a bit of a bottleneck during payment processing.. One thing that I've noticed is that the drinks are served up relatively quickly. Sometimes, it's so fast that once you're done paying the drink is already there for pick-up. read more

Chatime is one of the good bubble tea shops that makes the drinks with quality tea, and you could really taste the flavour. It is also one of the few places that offers wintermelon drinks, one of my favourites. This location is a little tight and there is always a bit of a line up. I usually get my drink to go whenever I'm in the area. read more

Chatime - Dundas - Coconut Milk Tea with Coconut and Coffee Jelly & Wintermelon Tea Sea Salt Crema with Pearl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

In 2 days and 2 Chatime locations, I feel that my former favourite bubble tea spot has been slipping sadly. Chatime was one of the first import of the really well known Asian brands to bring in better bubble tea. Not just the sugary powder stuff but the use of more natural flavours, less colouring and real tea. After a few years and many more newer brands in Toronto, I feel Chatime has relaxed a little too much and forgotten what they originally brought to the GTA. No longer is it the nice deep rich tea flavour, creamy milkiness, or perfectly QQ chewy bubbles. This particular location is just outside of the super busy Dundas Square and Eaton Centre. With a constant flow of shoppers and UofT students, this place is biiiiz-zee. Ridiculously so that even on a early evening of 7 pm, there was still a constant line up. The spot is not very big ... it only has 2 medium sized in the back and a few other little 2 tops in here. It's not very well lit either even though it was still light out. With the huge line up and the big batch of bubbles being cooked, it was hot, stuffy, and humid. Not an inviting spot to stay in very long. I couldnt wait to get out. Though the line up was pretty busy, I have to at least commend the service. The 3 people behind the counter were working hard. One was constantly and quickly taking the orders and making sure the bubbles and toppings were in the cups. The other two never stopped making drinks... they were always moving. I was worried it'd be a long wait but from start to end, it was maybe 15 minutes. Seeing how there was at least 9 people in front of me at first, I think this was really quick. QQ Lychee Juice - Light and sweet but oddly enough a bit tart for a lychee fruit. There seemed to be a sour note that was odd to the flavour. The other item that was disappointing... the bubbles. For the large cup, there was maybe less than 1 Inch of bubbles on the bottom. Maybe Real Fruit and other spots have been too generous but Chatime had less bubbles of other medium drinks. Plus their bubbles was over cooked and more soggy than anything else. 3/5 Seasonal Strawberry Passionfruit Green Tea - A seasonal new drink just for the spring and early summer. This sounded really refreshing but the green tea they used had an astringent and bitter note that overpowered any good berry flavour. Perhaps it was the passionfruit? They can be tart but this wasn't the best drink to be lightly sweet and refreshing. 3/5 With the constant huge line up and medicore ok drinks, I feel that there has to be better for me to try. I'll keep searching even though sadly this used to be one of my favourite brands. read more

I usually get honeydew milk tea with double rainbow jelly or triple rainbow jelly, depends on how I feel that day. But wdf, I came here after CNE since it was the closest chatime and on the way home. The cashier did not allow me to get 3 toppings on my Large honeydew milk tea even though I would've paid for the toppings! Seriously? My friends and I customize TOPPINGS at other chatime locations (warden/steeles and midland/finch) without resistance. "No sorry, we don't do that." Give me a break! Go somewhere else, avoid at all costs, if you want to customize your drink, seems like they limit your drink to one topping, unless I had an isolated incident. From the looks of it, the customer is not right and they cannot accommodate a single request with minimal effort needed on their side. Here, as a Chatime franchise, they the quality and customization should be the same, I have uploaded a receipt of me getting triple jelly, something that they *don't do* read more

Restaurant: Chatime Bubble Tea Cuisine: Coffee/Tea/Dessert Location: Downtown Toronto Address: 132 Dundas St. W Price Range: ~$10 1: Poor 2: OK 3: Good 4: Very Good 5: Excellent Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3 Overall: 3.5 Extra information: *Wifi Avail *500 Stores WorldWide *Taxes included in the Price *Choose Ice and Sugar Option I've been drinking bbtea for at least last 12 years of my life, and that is A LOT of bbtea and pearls. Without a doubt, I know my bbtea and how it's suppose to be done. I have long list of different flavors that I've enjoyed in the past that includes taro smoothie, green milktea, coconut milk tea, honey green tea, lychee smoothie. When I moved to TO, I wasn't even expecting to find good bbtea here because I was already aware of the fact that it's not very popular in eastcoast. Plus I tried green milk tea at Ten Ren (Chinatown) prior to and it was so horrible that I've fallen into bbtea funk. However, seeing that Chatime has finally opened- I couldn't pass by without trying and I am glad that I dropped by. It's just like typical bbtea joints, drink station at the front and tables at the back. Because they only opened a day or two before I dropped by, the seating area was pretty much empty. There were 4-5 people working at the store, still busy setting up their kitchen. There are many options you can choose from: Milktea, Freshtea, QQ Jelly, Poptea, Coffee, Smoothie and Healthy Series. Ordered: ICED MILK TEA WITH PEARLS: You think that milktea is something so simple they can't mess it up? You are wrong. I've been to so many bbtea places where they screw this up. But at Chatime, it was PERFECT. It was made just the way it's suppose to be with the right amount of sweetness. Make sure to ask for half pearl if you don't want too much of it in your drink. When they make milktea right, you know other drinks will taste just fine. Ordered: MATCHA RED BEAN SMOOTHIE: My mom orders this everytime we go for bbtea. If you love matcha and if you love red bean, you will love this drink. It's basically a ice cream smoothie and you can't really go wrong with this order. She found it to be a little too sweet but you can choose the sweetness of drinks so make sure to ask before they make it. I am just wondering if they have stamp cards so you can purchase certain # of drinks and get a drink for free? For the opening special, they are giving out free upgrade to large size even when you order a regular size (cold drinks only) so make sure to drop by before the offer ends. Summary: ChaTime reminds me of those bbtea joints back in Vancouver. I will def be back later to try my next fav bbtea flavor, iced honey green tea!! read more

This is my third Chatime after Northyork centre and St.George. Chatime at Dundas opened at 11:00am. They do not sell bread and pastries. They have good size seats and tables and seats are comfortable. I ordered Taro milk tea at all of three shops. Northyork centre gave me hot tea, but other two shops, they did not give really hot tea. I ordered hot tea but it was not hot. Until I went to Chatime at Dundas, I did not know people who serve tea are called "tearista." It was interesting. read more
