I rarely use "hidden gem" to describe a restaurant or store, but I think Now Tea is a true hidden…read moregem for bubble tea and coffee. Commerce Gate is famous for being packed with countless bubble tea shops. Most are famous franchises, such as Chatime, CoCo, Tiger Sugar, Yoyo , etc. Now Tea seems so different among them. I had never seen this store before visiting Commerce Gate. After Googling it, I found that it is also a franchise, but it operates only in Ontario, with three stores in total. Being low-profile alone does not qualify it as a hidden gem. That just means it does not spend much on marketing. What really impressed me was the flavour of its bubble tea. We tried the Milk Green Tea and Milk TieGuanYin, both with bubbles. The tea flavour was strong and full of the unique aromas of green and oolong tea, but it was also smooth going down. The bubbles had been boiled for the perfect amount of time: not so briefly that they had hard centres and not so long that they became too soft. They were very chewy, among the best bubbles I have ever had. The inside of the tea shop is spacious and has plenty of tables and seats. The lighting is bright, and I always see customers working or studying there. Other tea shops usually have very few seats and dim lighting; basically, they do not want to give you a Starbucks vibe and let you sit for too long. Another interesting fact: if you come to Commerce Gate early in the morning, before 11:00, Now Tea is the only tea shop that is open because it also serves coffee. The drinks are also less expensive than those at more famous brands. I guess they save a lot of money on marketing: lower prices and higher quality. I tried this store for the first time this week, and we have already been here three times. As a tea lover, I ask everyone reading this review: you must come here and try their drinks!

Reviewing 2oz of Coffee (located inside Now Tea)…read more This coffee counter is known for doubling up their espresso shots in their lattes, so get ready to be well caffeinated. I arrived right when they opened, and there were already a few people waiting in line. The menu is small & curated, focusing more on the coffee than specialty flavours. However, they do have a good selection of flavoured lattes. I wasn't able to see which beans they used for the espresso, but overall, their roast seems to be a bit darker/stronger, which balances out a sweeter latte well. I tried the iced biscoff and pistachio lattes. The biscoff is slightly sweeter and nuttier - definitely my fave of the two. The pistachio latte, in contrast, was disappointing. It was $1 more than the biscoff latte, looked nothing like the photo on the counter, and didn't taste much of pistachio at all. Although it looks like a separate counter, I realized that you can order drinks from either "shop" from their one main counter. I also found it a bit confusing to figure out the hours of operation, as Google said 2oz of Coffee opens at 11am, but the Now Tea shop isn't open until 12pm.

BBT Cravings Satisfied!…read more After a fun time at Pursuit OCR, we were craving something sweet and relaxing, so we popped by Kraft tea for some bubble tea and snacks nearby. We have tried their custard and Nutella-filled fish-shaped waffles - crispy on the outside and filled with warm, gooey goodness inside. Perfect snack to pair with our drinks! I went for the Brown Sugar Matcha Latte and my cousin chose the Taro Coconut Milk Tea, which were both was creamy and flavorful. They even has spots where you can sit, sip, and play a few board games. If you're looking for a cozy place to chill, this spot is a win!

I needed a…read morespot where I could study for most of the day, and this place caught my eye because of its menu and spacious interior. We ended up being the first customers of the day and sat in the seating area right in front of the counter. The bench and chair seating was surprisingly comfortable, and I really appreciated that there are power outlets running along the bench, which is perfect if you're planning to work or study for a while. The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to and worked reliably throughout the day. Parking was also convenient since there's plenty of free parking available. Service was friendly, and the staff seemed very knowledgeable about the menu. They were also great at making recommendations if you're unsure what to order. I ordered a large jasmine green milk tea with green tea jelly (my usual go-to), and it was made really well. I also tried their sweet potato fries, which came with a very smoky chipotle mayo. The portion size was quite good for $6.50. The food menu leans more toward light bites and finger foods--things like fries, pastries, and bagels--so it's better suited for snacks rather than a full meal. The washrooms were another pleasant surprise: clean, spacious, and stocked with thick toilet paper. There are several different seating options throughout the space, and they also offer a meeting room that can fit a larger group. From what I remember, it's about $100 for two hours, but any money spent on food or drinks can be deducted from that price. Overall, it was a good place to study. The environment stayed fairly quiet most of the day. The only time it got noticeably louder was around 2 p.m., when the place filled up.

The employee could have made it sound more convincing when welcoming me back, but he also seemed a tad unsure. On the 9th day of every month; their famous Royal No.9 Tea line is 50% off!

The tea Lattes always come cold with fresh milk but if it's ordered hot there is only one size, which is disappointing for us bbt lovers who want it in a gallon size. They are mindful here to give a stronger straw that can survive a hot beverage without melting in 10 minutes. This I appreciate, or make the cup lids wider to compensate for tapioca bobas.

This is my first time here and only time any Kung Fu Tea had no tapioca. Anyways place is pretty quick when you order your food. It wasn't a long line up or anything.

They had two Feb 2023 specials, with red as the primary colour for Valentine's Day. We chose the Strawberry Ice Tea with Agar Bubbles ($5.20). We rarely get egg waffles at a bubble tea store but my son wanted one so we got the Chocolate Egg Waffle ($5.00). The drink was delicious. The egg waffle was too dry; I told the manager and he thanked me for the feedback. Service was courteous with a smile. At first, the Kung Fu sign lights inside were not turned on, but once they saw we were serious about photography, they turned it on. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom which is also wheelchair accessible. There is free parking in the shopping mall. Review 2023-028
