We tried the new Holiday drinks with a shot of premium espresso. You can choose your blend and intensity level - light, medium, or dark roast. COFFEE LOVERS should go with the intense a.k.a dark roast!! We tried: * Espresso Brown Sugar Pearls Roasted Milk Tea with Crema - you can choose the base between milk tea, roasted milk tea, or fresh milk. We go with the roasted milk tea and 50%. You can taste the smooth yet strong espresso shot in it! I really love the crema too * Espresso Signature Milk Tea - brewed from premium loose leaf black tea with the added espresso shot. We had this with the normal boba, or you can also get it with brown sugar boba and other toppings. For this drink, I put normal sugar level. These espresso drinks are my fave so far! And a perfect pick-me-up for this festive season. I hope it will be on their permanent menu! Can't go wrong with Chatime's super chewy boba read more

Chatime North York - Espresso Signature Milk Tea & Espresso Brown Sugar Pearl Crema Roasted Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North York, Ontario

Not my favourite Cha Time. Bubble tea is inconsistent every time I come to this location. Staffs are easily distracted and needs further training. I ordered 2 bubble teas, and tried to redeem a free drink with my Cha Time Elite card. Cashier flat out said no, because it has to be done through 2 separate transactions. Uhh... a drink can easily be taken out, since I didn't even make a payment. It was common sense. It took her a long time to figure out how to do it. As a Cha Time Elite, I also got to choose a macaron. I chose the roasted milk tea flavour, and the cashier's coworker grabbed me the lavender one. I told her she grabbed the wrong flavour, but she said the signs for milk tea and lavender got switched around. Well, she was wrong, and gave me lavender. It was good , but not what I requested. Be careful when it snows here. Entrance can get damp and filled with slush. No wet floor sign, and no one changes the mat that can't absorb any more water :( read more

Came here and wanted to redeem my 25% off coupon that was advertised by Facebook. The cashier told me it was not eligible because "our scanner is broken". To which I said, "can't you just enter the code or manually override it" (which they can). Then she said again "our scanner is broken". I am very disappointed at the false advertising by Chatime and the incompetence of staff that doesn't even know how to work the system. On top of that, it was a crowded location with lots of people. It's very uncomfortable to sit in because people are loud and literally stand beside you when they line up. Doors are constantly opened and the cold air gets in. The pearls were not fresh and slightly hard. I'm usually okay with Chatime (like maybe 3-4 stars) but this location refused to let me redeem my coupon so I'm giving 1 star. read more

Tried this location of Chatime as it was close to my lunch spot Drink: on par with other locations Service: ordered through the Ritual app and it was ready upon arrival. Average service; staff isn't friendly but it could be a language/cultural barrier read more

Uh oh.. Here they go. It was a five until they recently started giving me the wrong orders. Twice. And they have been running out of things such as mango drinks, and mango and coconut jellies.

Dear all my fellow yelpers, To those of you who feel you'll be a victim of chatime's delicious bubble tea if you lived close by. I shall present to you exhibit Angelica, She lives walking distance and can't seem to control herself when it comes to bubble tea,specifically Chatime. Even though she complains about the line, she is still addicted and needs bubble tea intervention. To those who care, please help her. Bubble tea has driven her insane! read more

If you live in North York or frequently visit this area then its safe to assume that you are familiar with the infamous chatime lineup. Today I decided to try it out and see what the fuss is all about. It was cold so I ordered hot tea and milk. It was warm and fresh. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable but keep in mind this is K-town and you can easily get bubble tea for $3.99 anywhere else. Decor is brought to you by IKEA. If you look up you will see wooden rectangles hanging from the ceiling (I thought that was fascinating). Washroom door blends in nicely with the wall. Free WiFi. K-pop was playing in the background. A OK overall. I still fail to see why the lineup and what the fuss is all about. read more

Late night Bubble Tea go to spot! Tons of positive things to say! Pros: - Drinks: Ordering Drinks here is consistent in the sense of I always know what I'm getting in comparison with other Chatime locations which sometimes mess up my order. If I order half sugar, it tastes like it! I love their selection of drinks, so many options! - Line Ups: Unfortunately if you go during prime time the line up usually extends all the way to the back from the cashier to the washroom. Luckily the servers work quick and your not waiting to long to get your bubble tea fix! Cons: - Parking: There is no available parking unless you park on the street and want to pay. Drinks/Dessert I love: - Honey Green Milk Tea with Grass Jelly (Warm or Cold) - Blue Mountain Green Tea with Tapioca - Japanese Sakura Sencha with Tapioca - Jasmine Green Tea Mousse (No toppings) - Honey Green Tea with Tapioca - Macaroon Flavour: Pistachio, Roasted Milk Tea read more

Chatime seems to be popping up everywhere now. This location is great if you are in the Yonge/Finch area as it is just south of the Finch Subway Station. Parking might be an issue, but here are paid meter parking right outside the store (free parking after 10 pm) I guess I was lucky to be here on a weekday afternoon with practically no one around.. no line and I got served immediately. Just like most of the Chatime I am been to, the staff here never looks like they are happy to work here... I do my Roasted Milk Tea with Pearls ($4.70+$0.50). PS They have donuts for sale too... I don't know if I really want a donut with my bbt though.. read more

Usually I find the quality of the drinks at Chatime fairly consistent throughout the chain, but my visit today heavily disappoints. At first, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in because they now sell some items from Bake Code, so I won't have to make the trip down to Sheppard/Yonge if I'm craving the cheese tart ($5.5) or mille crepe ($7.2). But then it started going downhill from there... The cashier was rather rude and impatient at me. I get it that he might be overwhelmed by the weekend crowd, but I've been to the Chatime downtown and even there the customer service was a lot better compared to this guy. And then there's the drink. I was rushed by the cashier so I just ordered the Tea of the Month which happened to the Chocolate Hazelnut Milk Tea. It sounded promising until I took a sip of it... Disgusting! The drink literally tasted like some version of watered down, cold hot chocolate mix. No tea flavour what so ever. I'm slowly sipping my drink as I'm typing this review and I'm thinking of just tossing it because it's that bad. Would have just gone with 1 star, but I do like that I can now buy Bake Code desserts here. read more

Once upon a time, this chatime had their shit together.. but now slowly.. they are getting worse and worse. This chatime has never once messed up my drink, so I give the workers props on that one. They really know what they're making. However, they are getting SO slow.. they put the toppings into the cups and just leave them all lined up before putting the milk tea into them. Instead of working on them asap, they wait until there's 4-7 cups waiting until they decide to work on them all together. Also, my server did not give me a receipt so I did not know which # I was, it usually wouldn't be a problem but when the store is full as fuck, it gets hard to get your drink. AND.. the lines are NOT ok! LOL. They weave all around the store and sometimes out onto the street.. when that happens, just don't wait. It's not worth it, I promise. Chatime stores are always too crowded and it can get uncomfortable being too close to someone while waiting to order bubbletea. read more

I'm surprised the matcha latte made it on their top drinks screen. I came back wanting them to remake it, and the cashier took another straw, poked a hole, and took a sip from the drink I already drank ... gross. any who, I don't recommend that item on the menu. either that location doesn't know how to make it right, or it just tastes nasty. it looks quite appetizing though. read more

I ordered Hot Taro milk tea. The clerk (barista?) asked me if I wanted regular sugar amount. I said "yes." It was too sweet, so I should have said "less." Taste of tea was very good. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. There are many kinds of pastries. They have samples for breads. It was very nice bakery if you like Asian pastries. You can sit and relax and have good time. This Chatime seem to be better than other chatime. read more

Roasted milk tea with grass jelly! I swear it's like a drug. Convenient location for those of us at Yonge and Finch. This location is usually busy except for tonight! It was really cold maybe that's why there's no line ups, no one wants to come out. I had my usual roasted milk tea with grass jelly. I usually get it with no sugar because the grass jelly is already sweet. And on cold days like this I get it warmed. There's a distinct taste in this tea, it's like a drug, it makes you come back for more (not sure if that's a good thing or not?). I actually like the grass jelly in huge chunks, you keep sucking it up the straw it never ends! The milk tea is really smooth and creamy. This place seems spacious and there's free wifi. I usually get it to go, I rarely sit down here. The service is okay here, sometimes there might be communication issues. I find the servers speak really fast. Otherwise the drinks are good the place is good, just sucks when you have to wait for the long lines in the summer. I hope they keep opening up more stores! read more

This place can reach full house quick and you tend to get trapped in between herds of students but the rain made way to a line-free 2 minute wait to bubbletea #1 50%sweet and less ice. Chatime made me like bubble tea again. One standard color for their straws which makes life easier and in hygienic ready to grab plastic. The choice on sweetness level demonstrated giving a damn about their customer's daily dose of sugar and personal taste, or being set apart from the many bubbletea joints in toronto takes tea time with ice to the next level. Good quality tea base and their taro drink really is the non chemical induced stuff. I got so used to the fake version that it ended up overwhelming me. Sadly, not the best tasting one coming from someone who loves ube ice cream/cake and anything taro. Other faves #2 and the matcha latte. I will try all flavors because I've got tea swag like that. Tips to follow... read more

This chatime is in a very convenient location just a short walk from finch station. It gets really busy during off work hours. Even during work hours there is a short line between around 5 minutes wait. Thy always play Mandarin and Taiwanese music, the staff Are not too friendly but they seem efficient. Whenever I come to chatime I always order a matcha latte or a matcha redbean milk tea with tapioca. Their drinks are usually consistent good quality. read more

Chatime North York - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North York, Ontario

This is my favorite location and bubble tea place. For something heavy/dessert-y I recommend: brown sugar roasted milk tea with half sugar and less ice. For something light: mango qq without the tapioca or honey lemon green tea with aloe vera. Always reduce sugar to 30% if possible (for honey and brown sugar, can only reduce by half). The lines are long during weekends but they move fast. It's very happy location with tons of people that just hang out after dinner. Though during weekends and evenings do not expect to get a seat, this place is packed. I've always taken mine to go so did not have these issues. read more

After trying out all the different bubble tea spots in this area, I still always come back to Chatime. I'm a to-go kind of person so I have never had a seat inside and I can't comment on the strength of wifi or the availability of chairs. But I can say that their service is always prompt. They get through the line up of customers as fast as they can and I've never had a mistake with my order. My go to drink is the matcha red bean smoothie with tapioca (MUST TRY). Although in my opinion, bubble tea is pricey (no matter where you go), this particular order is worth it. If you want to upsize, it's about $0.50 more. When you first walk in to the store, my tip would be to look out for any signs nearby the cashier. Sometimes there will be a sign like "NO SLUSH" or "CASH ONLY" because a machine is down. So don't waste your time lining up if your order isn't even available. read more

4 Stars - Drink Quality 2 stars - service Don't bother trying to use your vicinity promotions here when they send you a text. The asian manager guy gives you the most dirtiest look and tries to give all these reasons for it not working. He looked like he hates his job alot and I was very close to just calling it off and walking a couple steps down the block to order my usual from coco. I will reconsider coming back but the drinks are good nonetheless. I do hope chatime expands on their drink selections and honor their promotions with ease next time. read more

This location is usually busy with line ups but not as bad as the Dundas location, with more space. My favourite is their pearl milk tea, the only downside is when they don't fill up the cup to the rim and I end up chewing on tapioca without my milk tea. Overall, delicious milk tea and makes the list! read more

Chatime North York - Pearl Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North York, Ontario

went to grab a drink with a friend after dinner and ordered 2 large pearl milk teas but the cashier messed it up making it 1 bubble tea instead of 2 and we ended up getting a regular sized cups instead of the large we ordered. I had a rough week so I didn't say anything and we just left, but the tapioca was hard and the tea was pretty crappy so never coming back there again ( ) read more

Came here at night on a weekday. It's overpriced and the quality is sub par. Would not recommend. read more

SOLID. Just like the original Toronto location on Dundas St, this chatime is a solid contender in the bubble tea world here. The bubbles have the perfect texture and flavour (not too sweet, and a hint of tea) and their menu has the same variety as well. Love that this location is now available in North York (a hop skip and jump away from home, no less!) If you've never been to a chatime, this place has bubble tea like no other. Not only does their drink menu have a huge spread of flavour options, you can also customise your sweetness level (extra, regular, 80%, 50% or 30%) and your ice level (regular, less, none). Perfect for those who want a lighter drink and nothing crazy cold. Which would be me. Parking here is still a headache - looks like it's street parking for the time being. There's a bit of seating available as well, so if you want to stay and get your moneys worth out of your parking payment you should come early - it always gets busy post-dinner time. Also appreciate the stamp card (buy ten get one free), which will be perfect for me since I'll be visiting often now! TIP - The taro is a solid favourite with me and my bro. The matcha green tea latte is a close runner up. read more

There is no better bubble tea in Toronto so far! I've tried every kind in Taiwan when I was there for a month and this is the closest thing to the ones in Taiwan! #2 just like everyone said. Roasted Milk Tea with grass jelly- perfect marriage between flavors. - I always order 30% sugar - no ice (you get more tea duh) If you must ask for another good bubble tea place it has to be Ten Ren and ONLY the Highway 7 location in Markham. read more

Good tasting boba tea drinks. Everytime I've been here, the drinks are made consistently and they give you a choice of how much sugar you want. I can't say if all the flavours are good as I stick to only 2 kinds but I would assume that they are all good because lineups usually during peak hours are always long. Hence the 4 stars, would be better if they somehow fixed the wait issue. read more

Chatime is the Starbucks of tea. Probably one of the best Bubble Tea chains in the category. I especially appreciate editing the amount of sugar in my drink. I have had some bubble teas that made my teeth ache. Also, this chain is pretty consistent with its product. My go-to is Mango Green Tea with 1/2 sugar, or a Coconut milk Green Tea. I have tried a few other flavours and suffered a drought when they ran out of Mango syrup for a couple of months, but I keep going back to the crisp, refreshing taste of the Mango Green Tea. There are times I will buy 3 or 4 servings and keep them in the fridge so I can have one each day. Am I addicted? read more

I like that this place is close to work Always ordering Roasted milk tea with grass jelly! I like to customize my drink --- even less sugar is still sweet. I always order half ice The lineup is usually long. After a wave of customers, a new wave would come in . Good for them for having good business. Also I usually never enjoy grass jelly -- but its so soft and easy to slurp! I love that roasted milk tea flavor. i've tried regular milk tea before, but it just taste different with the roasty addition. I didn't enjoy taro (probably because it is a mixture of real taro and powder) but it tastes so chalky that I sometimes forget maybe I'm slurping the taro chunks --- but really feel like it may be unmelted powder! read more

Massive line ups, tables always filled... this location opened up this month in our area. we were wondering what is up w/ the hype? it's just bbt. I had the chocolate hazelnut milk tea w/ no tapioca, etc as the price was already a little high for my taste. It had a nice flavour (not too sweet). I couldn't taste the powder ....def not a dodgy bbt shop :). I would definitely like to try a few more drinks though & take advantage of the 'buy ten get one drink free' stamp card. If this location wasn't so close to us i don't think we'd be coming here. read more

The manager Kai, messed up my order (don't know how many messed up orders he did beforehand, causing a long line) he can not tell the difference between the different jellies. It caused me to wait extra long, for my correct drink again, and by this time my metered parking outside had expired and I'm left with a ticket for an extra $40 bucks. Totally not worth my time. This was one of the most expensive bbt I have had. read more

Downtown Chatime location gets 5 stars largely because of their quick service and that is exactly what the Finch location lacks! Because it is a chain joint, the drinks don't taste any different to me compared to the other two locations (yes, including newly opened Markham one). The staff at this Chatime are just so slow at making drinks. I thought I'd cut them some slack for being a new location but after more than a month of opening they're still relatively slow. NOTE!!!! The WASHROOM is very inconspicuous, causing patrons to often mistake the door entrance. As much as it's slightly funny to see people walk into the staff backroom instead of the washroom, this kind of lack of human design should be fixed asap for the ease of people's Chatime experiences. So to all those visiting this Chatime in the future and want to go to the washroom, the door is hidden on the wooden wall on your LEFT! read more

The best bbt shop in town!! I'm so glad they decided to open a location in Willowdale, this is the perfect midtown location. This location gets busy to the point that the line-ups will run outside and the tables are usually full. The taro milk here is by far the best I've had, it does not taste like fake powder and there are taro pieces. Love the option of having less ice and sugar. Highly recommended spot for bbt if your craving for it. read more

Near the counter, you will find the following sign: "If you like our service, rate 5 stars on yelp" If you've never been to chatime before and looking up reviews to see if it lives up to the hype.. then shame on you . read more

The Good: I use to be an avid tapioca fan but I've been converted to grass jelly with my roasted milk tea. The thing I love about this drink here is that as most people know, you can say how much ice and sugar you want in it. Other places tend to be too sweet and of course load on the ice so you're not really getting much bang for your buck. The Bad: It might be hard to find a seat on a Fri/Sat and line ups can happen within minutes of getting in so know what you want. The Overall: Better than the Bay and Dundas location. The interior is nicely designed with its high ceilings and it is very clean with bright lighting. Sleek and modern, making the stay a lot better. Revisit: For sure. Great place to meet up with friends, but that's only if there isn't an insane lineup which can easily happen on any Fri/Sat... and weeknights after dinner. read more

Like Chatime's all over Ontario, this place does not disappoint. They do get fairly busy during their rushes but it's worth the wait. I usually get the roasted grass jelly milk tea and the only down side is when I realize they need an extra large. The restaurant looks very nice and simple and is kept clean. read more

This is our go-to bubble tea place! Our favourites are: Chatime original, roasted milk tea, strawberry milk tea, QQ grapefruit. Stay away from: Hazelnut chocolate (very artificial tasting). They also let you choose your sugar and ice level, which seems to be a new fad coming in from Asia. We always get less ice and find that 50% sugar is plenty sweet enough, and in some cases (strawberry milk tea) still too sweet. Also wasn't a fan of their energy drinks but that is a matter of preference. If you go often, definitely get one of their loyalty cards (10 drinks any size = 10 stamps, and get the next regular sized drink free). read more
