One Babo, the best bubble tea in town. I've tried many over in Montreal downtown and China town,…read morebut one Babo have the choice, freshness, taste, texture... Everything! I took many time the Oreo milk tea. It's milk and water with orea taste. Subtle but good, specially hot! If you take hot, it's regular size only. For cold, you have either regular or large and the large is really large! Tried this time the classic brown sugar. It was very good and really sugary. It was like drinking a hot chocolat with sugar syrup in it. There's a lot of choice, and so far I love everything I tried. I recommend coming here. They have a loyalty card, one for regular and one for large. After 10, the next one is free. You can add/change the bubble/toppings of your drink, they have about 10 different choice. The service is very fast, you wait less then 5 minutes for your order.

I had a craving for a smoothie and Chatime had them...many of the other Chinatown cold drink places…read moreonly offered tea variations of their drinks. I wanted sometime with no tea. I saw the menu and it said smoothies...so I went in and asked for one of the ones on the menu. The guy at the counter said that if I did not want milk, they could use oat milk, which was perfect...also at the time of ordering he asked what level sugar I wanted...I said Low...so I went with the 30%. It was nice to be able to customize my smoothie that way. I was very happy and impressed. The strawberry slush was nice, frosty and very cold. It had a nice light strawberry taste and it arrived with a heat seal lid. I would get a smoothie again at this place. I loved the experience.

In the simplest form, this is cheap, reliable, and gets you your bubble tea fix. It's not the best…read morethat I've tried, but it's also not the worst. It's purely that -- ok. Service-wise, it was great. Simple, fast, and ready with a bubble tea in your hand within a minute or two. The store is not a sit-down spot, but more of a small stall where you grab and go. I've been to several Chatime shops in the States, so I have an idea of what to expect and it's pretty much how Chatimes are rated in the States as well. We stopped by while going to nearby Old Montreal and happened to walk into Chinatown. I wanted to see what Chinatown in Montreal was like and truly got an idea for it. It's busy and all the stores are bustling and open crazy late -- just like this spot. This spot is open 24/7, which is unheard of in the other Chinatowns that I've been to in my life. We tried Presotea near our hotel so right away we had an idea of which bubble tea shop was considered higher-end/pricier. This spot was definitely for the cost-saving person who just wants a quick fix of bubble tea. The difference between the two is obvious. I ordered regular milk tea with the QQ topping. I like the QQ topping (which is nata de coco jelly with regular tapioca). It's half lychee jelly and half black pearls. The bubbles did not have the flavor that the Presotea bubbles had. Chatime is simply plain with no taste in their bubbles, which is fine. Tea-wise - I could not immediately tell the difference. However, in the end, each shop is meant for two different people.

Their other milk teas are actually really solid! Royal No.9 Milk Tea is my favorite. Very unique flavor, great balance between milk and tea. 50% sweetness was perfect. Boba was nicely chewy.

No matter where you are in the world, The Alley consistently delivers on high quality boba…read moreespecially in a place that doesn't typically have artisan boba available. I'm a self-proclaimed boba connoisseur so I fully expected to enjoy this drink, and I did. They offer a variety of high quality milk and fruit tea beverages, and even offer non-dairy milk which made it the ideal situation for myself. I went with a Jasmine Soy Milk Tea Latte with Boba and it was refreshingly perfect. Boba was soft and satisfying, the milk tea had the perfect level of sweetness to it, and I was happy. Service was friendly and quick, and the decor inside had The Alley's trademark antlers welcoming guests to the shop. Definitely recommend as a spot for boba if you're downtown.

This is how much I enjoy bubble tea! I heard a lot of hype over this franchise and decided to give it a try. My coconut tea was just "okay"-it needed more coconut... more pizzzzzzzaz! It costs $10. Perhaps i would have been fine with the price if it tasted good. The tea does not include tapioca pearls and is a dollar extra. There is a section letter you can buy pastries or cakes. I only bought the tea. The lady who served me was nice though. Thank you Prostea but I will not be going back.

Shuyi... you're the only other in competition with me for my husband's love. Before I even moved…read morehere I knew your name by heart and of the many affairs of the heart my then fiancé was having with you. I didn't understand why such a frugal guy would ubereats 4 bubble teas at a time, consider it a great deal, and slowly savor them over the course of days, hording them like some gremlin with his stash of gold. Prices are average to high but it's totally understandable for how much and the quality you get. Now that I've tried shuyi... I understand and have made space in this marriage. Their drinks are so fresh, and so we'll made for their flavors and ingredients. We get super excited any time they come up with a new idea or concoction and we try to limit how many times we order because we can't support this addiction. Their milk teas are beautifully balanced with enough tea flavor but also being so incredibly smooth. Their fruit teas are crisp, fresh, and basically hit you in face with flavors. They have a large assortment of toppings and innovative combos that just work. Some of our favorites have been signature drink (like a meat fresh in a glass; use the spoon), their mango pomelo meets grass jelly, all of their yakults, fruits party, and the new boba jello green tea. They pack so much in one cup it's more of a dessert than a drink. Coming from LA I had crazy high expectations after hearing about shuyi for so long and the hype was met. Also, be kind to the ladies working here... there's only two of them and they're hustling all the time to get out online, phone, and in person orders. So please be understanding if you feel they're being slightly curt or not in the mood to smile. Anyways, shuyi you'll always have a place in our home! Thanks for getting us through isolating at home and these hard times!
