    a hand holding a cup of iced tea
    Lauren K.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cheese tart and strawberry cheesecake slush
    Minji S.

    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.

    QQ Mango Juice ... just means there's boba and coconut jelly in it
    Soleil S.

    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.

    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.

    Powdery taro tea
    Jennifer C.

    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.

    Ha! Good one, Chatime.

    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.

    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.

    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).

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

    Loved the ambiance of this Neo Coffee Bar location! My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab…read morea hot matcha latte on a chilly evening, and we happened to be in the area. Walking inside, the warm cosy lighting and long barista/display counter immediately caught our eye. While it was relatively busy, it was also fairly quiet - perfect for those who wanted a quieter space as well as those looking for soft, casual conversation. We were sucked in by the delectable looking strawberry roll cake in the display counter for an early dessert! The cake was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, balanced with just the right amount of strawberry & whipped cream filling. We also shared a hot, unsweetened matcha latte. The bitterness of the matcha, creaminess of the frothed milk & whipped cream, and sweetness of the cake were a perfect culinary match :) Would definitely come back for another visit!

    This pains me to write but I have to. I love Neo coffee! It's one of the best ones in the city…read more However, I recently visited to try their ube latte and doesn't even begin to cover it. I know that the ube trend is taking over but PLEASE before you advertise your product as such, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure that you are actually serving the thing. I'm Filipino and not only did I feel so offended by how this tasted, I also felt like I should be refunded. First of, the ube mixture was RED. I don't know where you're getting your ube mixture from but ube is PURPLE. The powder was chunky and did not at all taste like ube. Please, I get it we all want to make money from whats popular but take time to educate yourself. Get it from the right source OR ask a person who knows the product if its being presented right or if tastes remotely close. I'm very disappointed and would no longer be advertising Neo to my friends & family
