I recently visited to try their Sakura treats. This store is spacious, bright and clean, and I like the U of Tea signage on the wall. I think it's cute. They are located steps away from St. George TTC subway station and near U of T. Service is fast and the two staff when I went last Monday were both very friendly. The seasonal drinks were so refreshing and delicious. I had the following: Sakura Blossom Lychee Juice, Sakura Blossom Peach Tea, Sakura Blossom Matcha Latte. I truly enjoyed the Matcha Latte drink. I also tried the Sakura Lychee Tiramisu and it paired perfectly with the Sakura Blossom Lychee Juice. I gotta say this series is my favourite from Chatime and I highly recommend trying it before it's gone. read more

The tea was delicious, prices comparable, lots of seating and more flavor options than other tea shops. Dog friendly! After being turned away by Palgong Tea I wasn't sure if Chatime would let me inside to order, but I was welcomed in while carrying my toy poodle. Great experience. read more

I can always count on this Chatime location to satisfy my bubble fix after my floor hockey games! Smaller compared to other locations, they still serve solid drinks for the University of Toronto community and others living in the area! read more

One of my favorite things about Toronto is how great their food scene is. Where I'm from, bubble tea isn't a big deal, so being able to find it everywhere in Toronto was definitely a new feeling for me. I've truly never had this many options for bubble tea before, but the staff here were really kind and patient in talking me through some of the combinations. Bubble tea is just bubble tea where I'm from, maybe a few flavors, so having such a big menu of options plus customization options was new for me! This location was very clean, dog-friendly, and bustling with good energy from the nearby University of Toronto. I found myself visiting here a few times and tried something different during each visit. I didn't quite nail my perfect order, but I loved the huge menu with countless options for milk-based teas and fruit-based teas. Definitely a great spot to try bubble tea and have fun with your order. read more

I love this place for bubble tea. The honeydew milk tea with tapioca is my go to drink. I don't have it much, as the calorie count on it makes it kinda prohibitive in my diet. I certainly wish I could. I can gulp down a large bubble tea in less than a minute and have a hard time not doing that. If I could consume these things slower I'd have them more often. But, if I want bubble tea, Chatime is my go to. read more

Chatime is usually a solid choice when you have a bubble tea craving but in this COVID-19 environment, I was a little disappointed at how they set up their store for customers. They blocked off access to the entire dine-in section of the store and forcing everyone to use the one narrow path to go in, wait, and leave the store. That is not smart use of your space! I felt ok because there was no other customers in the store at the time but it's located right near the U of T campus so it could be really busy with back-to-school reopening soon. I would hesitate to go into the store if I saw that everyone was rubbing shoulder to shoulder to enter and leave the premises. They should create a one-way loop so that customers leaving go around through the dine-in area to leave. The four of us ordered the same thing, grass jelly roasted milk tea, with different variations in ice, sugar, and milk type (they offer oat milk now). There was only one person manning the whole operation behind the counter. We had to go back to get one of the drinks re-done as it was not correct. They happily provided a replacement. read more

Classic, solid, good choice for bubble tea. The location when we went (May 2021) was a bit blocked off due to construction, but they were still up and running and delivered consistently. read more

Ordered from Uber Eats. Always arrives perfect! Ordered the taro milk tea with pudding. So delectable. Can drink all day, errrr day. Even when it's Toronto-cold out. Yeehhhhh. Highly recommend! Has a fun texture to it. May not be for intro-bubble tea drinkers. It's the real stuff. read more

Chatime - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went here with my friend to sit and chat. The staff was friendly and efficient in their work. There were plenty of spaces to sit and chat. The cheese tart was decent but a bit expensive for the amount given. There was an option to heat up the cheese tart. As well, I tried their limited edition strawberry cheesecake slush with regular sugar. The slush is sweet, which I liked but very heavy and took a while to finish. It's close to U of T campus and it's a great place to catch up with friends. I should warn people that it could get a bit loud here depending on how many people are there as well as how loud they are too. read more

Chatime - Cheese tart and strawberry cheesecake slush - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5 stars... the drinks are kinda good. The location is a bit of a different story. Come with lots of patience. Even if you're at the front of the line, they may take 7 minutes to get to you. Really. Right by UofT and ROM, you have ChaTime in the perfect location except right now it's under a mess of scaffolding. It's open but its so hard to see where it is from the street right now. Just look for a flash of purple signage and you're there. The store has done one thing well... it's put the line direct from the door up the side to the ordering spot. It's not crowded into the front or spilling into the seating area. The seating area has a number of tables but I'm going to be honest, it's a bit of a mess. It's clear the UofT students love this spot because you can see so many just take up entire tables themselves while studying or it's a mess of old napkins. This is definitely an university hang out spot. As for service, it's 'interesting'. I got here before the crowd and I just saw the line up from just me to at least 12 people behind me. The problem... something was amiss with the previous order and they needed 2 people to fix it for at least 7 minutes. Seeing how I was at the front, it was a bit annoying to wait for so long but I would REALLY hate it if I was the 12th person at the end. Mango Juice QQ - to call this juice would be wrong. Mango fruit drink ... that's probably right. It's a light clear orange sip that's pleasant and not too sweet when you ask for 50% sugar. The QQ part is really the two types of chewy toppings. Their regular boba and then the coconut jelly. One thing weird about the jelly... they're length is wider than the straw so it often clogs the straw. I ended the drink with almost all the coconut jelly still in the drink. Boba was nice and chewy and not over cooked. I'd order this again but just with boba only. 3.5/5 Coffee Smoothie - this one was ok ... I feel like they forgot to get all the ice blended cause every sips had these chunks in it. Flavour wise it wasn't bad but I think it wasn't flavourful as it needed to be. 3.5/5 Lesson learned here ... if there's a line up, keep walking and go somewhere else. Even if there's no line, it's debatable to recommend this spot and maybe you should keep walking too. read more

Chatime - QQ Mango Juice ... just means there's boba and coconut jelly in it - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I would say Chatime is quite average for a tea shop. The best part is their location being near uoft and my hotel when I was visiting for the weekend lol. The store is quite small but it is very modern and energetic on the inside. I ordered mango tea with bubbles with less ice and less sugar. Man, the original drink must be over the top sugary because my drink was super sweet. Even though i said less sugar. I didn't wait too long for my drink - about 10 minutes. I would probably be back since i don't have a strong preference in bubble tea places as long as they have assorted flavors and bubbles lol. read more

Chatime - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I got the winter melon tea and my partner got the taro milk tea with boba. Big mistake. We've never encountered a taro tea so disgustingly powdery and bland. We're talking white flecks of taro suspended in gelatinous water. My partner went back to address the issue and they made him another one, and that was equally powdery. My winter melon tea was mediocre... cane-sugary. We won't be returning. read more

Chatime - Powdery taro tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Not much to say about this place. It's what you'd expect of a Chatime. Same menu, same good service, it's all the same. The only thing I'd say is this place is not easy to access right now due to all the construction happening around this particular location. As a result, it's very easy to miss the entrance here. Other than that, if you're craving bubble tea, you can fulfill that here easily with no problem. read more

Chatime - Ha! Good one, Chatime. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Sometimes there's no line, sometimes there are lines. I've been here numerous times, always got the same drink, #1. The consistency is the same, they make it just right! Good place for groups of friends and I did see a lot of students there just studying. I always go here when I'm in the area. One of the best Chatime locations! read more

Today August 23, 2019, I checked my points balance (shows 31 points). I had around 60+ points originally. I came to this location on Sunday August 18, 2019 around 2:10PM and purchased a large honeydew slush, large honey green milk tea, a macaroon, and a cheesecake. The male cashier took my number and asked if I was using my points. I said "no, just collecting points" and paid a total $20.68 on my credit card. So as you can tell, for some reason, I paid for my food and drinks in full, and somehow I lost points. I contacted Fivestars and the female rep confirmed I redeemed points on August 18. She mentioned I would need to contact the store directly and work it out with them. I called this store to resolve the matter and instead, all I get is a constant busy signal (they must have taken the phone off the hook) @ (647)-340-8406 and the other number @ (416) 901-5660 seems to be a cellular number. Beware of this location and keep an eye on your points. I will update this review if they contact me to resolve the matter. Otherwise, if there's no update, then they stole my points. read more

I've been a fan of Chatime since their 1st Toronto location opened, but I stopped going because of the perpetual line up and lack of seating at the Bay/Dundas location. This location, as others have already mentioned, is much quieter and more relaxing. I can always get a table and it's never that crowded, so you can feel free to stay and chat with friends or read/study. My go to is the Caramel Milk Tea with tapioca - so good!! Quality of the tea and tapioca has been consistently good, and I find the service to be efficient and friendly. You can adjust the amount of ice and sweetness in your drink. As it warms up, their seating increases as they have a pretty big patio facing out to Bloor St. read more

We only came here because we were waiting to eat at Gyubee next door. The staff here is ok but the guy who was taking the order needs some serious training. There were about 3 people in front of me and it took 20 minutes just to order. When it was my turn i understood why. I had to repeat my order (brown sugar roasted milk tea) over and over. It honestly felt like the worker just wasn't focused or anything cause he kept asking me what do i want. The drink was ok. Nothing special. This place gets pretty packed and people tend to stay for a long time so it could be difficult to just hang out here for a while unless you just come for a drink and go. read more

It's chatime, there isn't much more to say! This one is nice in terms of seating area, and the quality is consistent. Great place to stop by after eating out in k-town. I usually order the caramel milk tea or a mango green tea, depending on how filling I want my drink to be. Mmm. read more

I'm a fan of ChaTime and I have gone to this location multiple times but it doesn't seem to live up to the standard set by other ChaTimes in Toronto. For example, the ever popular grass jelly roasted milk tea always tastes watered down and it doesn't have as much roasted tea flavour as it should. I also despise how they blend in the red bean of a matcha red bean smoothie instead of leaving it at the top. Embarrassingly, these issues still don't keep me away. read more

3.5 rating This location is pretty big and they have comfy seating! I ordered a hot grass jelly roasted milk tea because it was really cold yesterday, but the guy told me having it hot will melt the grass jelly so they can just make it warm. When I got the drink, it was just lukewarm and then eventually got cold. I guess next time, if I want a hot milk tea it won't be the grass jelly roasted milk tea (my go to drink). read more

Chatime - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Chatime's craze has definitely dropped by a lot as new bubble tea shops started to open up across the city. But even with that note, in the downtown core I find Chatime is still one of the more dependable bubble tea shops. I find this location okay tea. Service is quite quick which is good when you're in a rush and the lines are not as long here. The benefit of this location is that there is more seating so you can hang out with friends or get some studies in. Wifi has always been dependable whenever I've come here. read more

This chatime has a great interior. It's a great spot for chilling. And even had an outdoor patio! I've been to the one on Yonge a few times, and the atmosphere at the Bloor location is wayy less hectic. More sitting room, chill atmosphere, and same great bubble teas. I love that you can pick the level of sweetness. I've had the grass jelly roasted milk tea with 30% sugar and no ice. Really tasty! This time I got the taro milk tea with tapioca, no sugar and no ice. The taro is a bit grainy in texture and the tapioca was sweet so it actually was fine with no sugar. I prefer the roasted the roasted milk tea though. Every sip was either tapioca or grass jelly - maybe next time I could ask for less. read more

Came here on a Friday evening and was somewhat surprised to see it not full! The drinks are relatively expensive and the teas aren't that much different. Compared to the stores uptown, the price here are much higher (almost double, I'd say). I was in a mood for something hot, so I ordered a plain latte that was around $3.2. What a disappointment! Tasted very watery and overly sweet. My friends each had a bubble tea, and they were also $4 + tax (way higher than the price of bubble tea I've seen)! Was also fairly surprised to see how much ice they put into the teas (really dilutes it)... The tv's here are also consistently looping on their own cheesy advertisements, so those definitely detract from the general atmosphere. The place itself isn't that big, so it can get quite squished if full. Likely won't be returning soon, not a good experience and definitely not worth the price and hype. read more

Chatime - hot drink (latte) cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tea is good. Service is meh. I don't really like the location (dingy plaza). Came here for my fav no. 2. Close to U of T campus, really convenient for students. The tea is good as usual. The service is okay, nothing spectacular. The inside seating area seems nice and comfy. The outside area looks a bit more sketchy and dirty, they should consider giving it a face lift. Otherwise good convenient location, great tea. read more

Love this location since it's not too busy and there are places to sit and do work! The bubble tea is always delicious at Chatime and this place is no exception. The tapioca is very fresh and was sweet and chewy; just how I like it. Note: their drinks with regular sugar are very sweet, probably to satisfy those with a sweet tooth. I generally like sweet drinks, but it was still way too sweet for me. I went with half sugar, and since the tapioca is already sweet, it was perfect. Also, I highly recommend trying red bean as a topping if you want to try something new. I tried it for the first time here and I LOVED it. A new favourite. The only thing that kind of bothered me during 1 visit here was how one of the workers behind the counter was yelling really loud for some reason, and was dropping the f-bomb multiple times in a screechy voice. I understand that she may have been frustrated about something, but to disturb the entire store like that was a little unprofessional. Aside from that, I still really love this location. The workers are all very friendly and the atmosphere is generally very relaxing. read more

Worst cha time location in this world. Extremely poor service and overcrowded with international students shouting at the top of their lungs as they sit there without even ordering a drink. Be prepared to line up over 20 minutes and not even have a seat to sit and enjoy your bubble tea. The turnover is very high here. There's new employees every other week. They all look like they're slaves chain to the counter to keep mass producing bubble tea. They have a huge attitude problem every time. The employees look miserable ! Nothing turns me off more at a store than rude and slow employees! The only reason I come here is because of location. But since the past months, quality has gone down significantly. I rather go to another bubble tea location. read more

This is another location that I typically go to when I want Chatime! Though parking would have to be on the smaller streets, I really like the ambience of the space and lots of memories were made here with my friends, particularly after going to church. Last time I went here, the cashier was super sweet and we bonded over talking about Taiwan - I was able to practice my Mandarin with her, which is always a bonus! read more

I love bbt and I like chatime. I hate this location. Bubble tea is butter tea. It's not hard to mess it up because there are instructions and ingredients for bubble teas. The customer service at the place is ridiculous. They're so rude. Walked in yesterday and was slapped with a "What do you want?" "Oh, umm hi. Can I please get (insert drink here) "That's xyz amounts of money." So I proceeded to pay all the while getting dirty looks from the cash employee as he stands drinking his bbt in front of customers hand on waist. Then gives me the death stank face for not tipping. Sorry sir, but how am I suppose to tip you for your shiaty service. Explain. I want to say this is the first time it's happened to me at this location, but it's not. I'll take my pocket change elsewhere. read more

I like Chatime. A few days ago, I went to Chatime at Sheppard and Yonge and I really liked it. Then I tried Chatime at Bloor and St.George. I ordered Taro milk tea a few days ago and I ordered normal sugar. It had been too sweet, so I ordered 50% half of normal sugar for the same Taro milk tea. It was perfect. Chatime at Bloor and St.George was pretty diferent from Chatime at Sheppard and Yonge. Chatime at Sheppard and Yonge has more varieties of pastries. The shop was cleaner. But both are good. Chatime will be my new favorite place. read more

Chatime Bloor is my absolute go-to location if I am ever craving Chatime! The interior is very modern and pleasant, and the service isn't very slow compared to the other locations. The line was quite lengthy, which isn't any surprise. It didn't take long for the workers to make the drinks and the washroom is never packed, which I find a good thing as I always have the urge to use the washroom a billion times. However, it was packed and there were absolutely no seats inside AND outside of the store. It was insane! I ordered the large Chatime Pearl Milk Tea with regular ice and sugar levels and it tasted good just like the usual. It is normally the drink I get if I can't decided what else to order. It's simple, basic, yet delicious and cheap! Tapioca is included in the drink already so you do not have to pay an extra $0.50 for that. read more

Chatime - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I really like Chatime and frequent a lot of other bubble tea locations in the city, but I have to say, this one is really lacking in comparison. The staff quality and knowledge is extremely inconsistent, some days they are really organized and efficient, and others it's pure chaos. It can be a really busy day or a quiet one, it makes no difference. They ran out of pearls the other day at 3pm in the afternoon on a Saturday but weren't telling people until after they ordered, which is strange. Also the food case is poorly maintained and looks gross, despite desperately wanting to try their macarons, I don't think I ever will. I will never sit and stay at this location either because their seating areas are often messy and un-wiped, and the bathrooms are pretty gross. That said, it all tastes as good as any other location, the staff are never rude if they aren't very helpful, I just wish this one was more consistent to the brand. read more

Got one QQ Taiwan Mango juice for myself, and one passionfruit green tea for my friend. - QQ Taiwan Mango juice for 30% sugar is still way too sweet for me; I do like their tapioca and coconut jelly. - my friend said that passionfruit green tea is okay, not too much real tea flavour, but 50% sugar has a ok level of sweetness for this drink. - for service, my friend orders a large but got a medium in the first place, then they give her the right one. also, the wait time is quite long since the people who make the milkteas were always talking, laughing, and even playing with one another, so read more

So happy to see this location open up. Let's hope it sticks around! This particular space has seen a revolving door of eateries come and go, so I really hope it's around for a while. I really like chatime! Unlike the other locations that I've been to, I've yet to see this location to be too busy. Drinks are pricy - Almost $6 when you include taxes for a large. I adore their drink #2 - the milk tea with grass jelly. I really like that Chatime lets you control the amount of sugar you like in your drink - no sugar, 30%, 50%, 80% or full. I often see students with their laptops working and using their free wi-fi. Given how not busy it often is, it's not a bad place to study with a tasty drink. read more

It's okay. The bubble tea is pretty decent, like what you would get a PMall. The service though is definitely an area for improvement. read more

My friends have urged me to stop going to Chatime, but, alas, I can't keep away. I like this location much better than the original Yonge/Dundas one for one reason only: MORE SPACE. This location feels much less cramped because the line-up area and the seating area are divided by a low wall - it makes for better crowd control (I'm sure the employees enjoy this as well). The location is also very good, especially for UofT students. Being on the corner of St. George and Bloor, right next to the Bata Shoe Museum, it's convenient for commuters and students alike. As a UofT student, I am both delighted, and sad that this location has opened. Delighted because I won't have to trek down to the Yonge/Dundas location for my grass jelly fix, but sad, because my wallet is surely taking a beating. read more

Not very Vegan friendly. They offer a Oat Milk option which can be only applied to very few drinks. Quite disappointing

Still my go to place for bbtea. Can't get enough of their roasted milk tea with jelly. The Bloor location is decent size with 7-8 tables but it was pretty messy. Someone needs to empty the trash as it was overflowing and garbage was all over the ground. pretty gross. Other than that same as all other chatime in terms of quality. Staff could use a little training on how to greet a customer and maybe smile a little. Got a cold feeling from staff. read more

I've been to Chatime a number of times before, but it was my first time at this particular location. It was pretty quiet when I came, which was a surprising departure from the usual crowds and hustle-bustle of the other Chatime locations I've visited. I ordered the pearl milk tea with added pudding. The tea itself was as expected and the pearls were fresh and abundant. However, they forgot to add the pudding! I was very disappointed at this - pudding was clearly indicated both on my receipt and on the drink label, and I didn't get what I paid for! (It was only 50 cents but still! I like my pudding!) My sister got the matcha red bean milk tea, and she said that there was very little red bean. It's her go-to Chatime drink and she said that other locations usually add more. Unfortunately, we got our drinks to-go and didn't taste them until we got into the car so we didn't have a chance to ask them to fix it. Will probably not come back to this location. read more
