Mango green tea with QQ
Chantelle B.

Hidden Location | Quick Service | Bi Weekly Text Deals So I've never visited a Gong Cha location before but I did sign up for the bi weekly text deals. I've never acted on any on the text deals until my bubble tea craving collided with a text deal. It was "free topping on any size mango green tea"... exactly my order. When I googled the location, it was close by to Scarborough town centre but it looked like it was at the bottom of a condo building. After driving around in the underground parking lot for 10 minutes I anxiously pulled out and just parked on the street to find this place by foot. Good thing there's a bright sign so I saw the location as I was founding the corner. It's right next to an IDA pharmacy and a 24 hour convenience store. The location was really small but they do have a few tables and a high top bar around the perimeter. I wasn't sure how the text deal worked but I just entered my phone number at the kiosk and it came right up. With the other customers inside, pulling up the text deal and all of the fog in my glasses because of my mask mixing with the cold weather - I forgot to pull up my rewards card to be scanned. Onto the BBT. It was SO good. The best I've had in a while. I usually go to Chaitime and I'm glad I made the change. I got a large mango green tea, less ice and 50% sweet with QQ topping (tapioca + coconut jelly). It was perfectly sweet and the tea was correctly brewed. This was the first time I actually saw mango pulp inside of a fruit tea beverage. I'll definitely be going back. They were also really friendly inside there too. Don't sleep on this location.

Exterior - its hidden at the bottom of a condominium
Jessica E.

This location recently opened for the best! Really needed a solid bubble tea place by Scarborough Town Centre. It's hidden away by the Civic Centre at the base of a condo in Albert Campbell Square. It's easy to miss with all the construction happening. This shop is very small, 3 tables for 2 people and a bar stool counter by the window. Wouldn't recommend for large groups or for studying. It's more of a take out only location, compared to the Steeles and Warden location with lots of seating. Luckily the mall and a public library are right around the corner. Love the entire tea menu but my recommendations are: Milk foam winter melon tea - best of all popular bubble tea chains in the GTA. Milk foam is salty and rich. It's meant to be cheesy but I'm kind of happy it departs from the original cheese milk foam it's meant to be inspired by. The thick layer of milk foam compliments the sweet, light winter melon tea. I like to add basil seeds (50 cents extra) for extra texture and nutrition, making it more special. 4/5 Royal milk tea - way better than Chatime classic milk tea IMO! Best with pudding add-on. 4/5 Worth the 5 minute walk to and back to the mall for good quality bubble tea. Absolutely recommend.

Wintermelon milk tea with Grass Jelly $5.30 regular size
Leonard E.

This small tea place is hidden amongst the condo towers and I often walk by this area without a thought...until today. I chose the regular size Wintermelon milk tea with Grass Jelly $5.30 plus taxes, no ice and 30% sugar sweetness. Well, this $6 drink is surprisingly good after my noon walk. I was the only patron inside this shop and took a seat at the window counter. The music was relaxing, the service very quick and my order was prepared fast. I'm impressed!

#9 - Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea
Paul M.

I went there a month ago and it was closed. I thought I will give them a call and to my surprise someone answered the phone. I pre-ordered my #9 (Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea), arrived 15 minutes later and it was ready. I read a bad review about the staff but everytime I come, staff are friendly and courteous. The bobba is as good as before. Perfect sweetness and right amount of ice. Keep up the great work. Strongly recommended.

Love their bubble tea. Their bubble tea and toppings (tapioca) are on point every single time. Can't go wrong with this place.

The mango smoothie with the mango boba is my favourite cold drink in the world. High quality bubble tea.

We've been to Kanafani twice now. The cafe has a really nice interior, good music and well lit…read more Feels very much like you've been transported to somewhere else. Parking can be a bit busy but usually okay. The service both times has been patient and kind to explain the various options. We decided to go with a milk cake with half lotus and half Dubai chocolate. The cake is soaking in milk which gives it a "wet cake" texture. I imagine it may not be everyone's favorite texture but has decent flavor. The crunchy topping contrasts against the soft, moist cake. The lotus has that nice cookie flavor and crunch while the Dubai chocolate with pistachio offers that chocolate and nutty flavor. I prefer the latter but both are good. We also got a matcha strawberry latte to go. Both really nice to look at and to drink. The matcha has good flavor without being overly bitter while the strawberry provides that fruity sweetness to the drink. Overall, it's a pricier experience but I enjoyed it and will be back.

Tips: - This place has Dubai chocolate bars. They are the…read morebest ones that I have had! - An individual knafeh takes roughly ten minutes to make. You can choose to get it either soft or crispy. You can also get pistachio or chocolate sauce on the side. - The iced tiramisu latte was excellent! A recent Yelp elite event introduced me to Kanafani Sweets. I returned for its Dubai chocolate bars. Kanafani Sweets is located in a plaza on the northeast corner of Warden Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East. It's in the same plaza as the Potato Bar. I had no problem finding parking. I pulled into a parking spot in front of the store and walked in. The order pickup area was in front of me. I read the signs and the order area was a few steps deeper into the store. I had the nicest woman who cheerfully said hi. She was helpful with answering my question and offering suggestions. She showed me the qashtuta, which was milk cake. She let me know that I could either get a solid flavour, such as Biscoff, or do three different flavours, such as Biscoff, hazelnut, and Dubai chocolate. Wow! My Yelp experience consisted of having knafeh, which I absolutely love. She said that it could be made soft or crispy. I love crispy. She also let me know that I could get either pistachio or chocolate sauce on the side. I went with the former. For the drink, she shared what was popular. The iced tiramisu latte was one of them. I love tiramisu. I was down checking out an iced drink version. I got a buzzer for my order. The knafeh takes roughly ten minutes to make. I sat in a comfy chair near the order area. It was nice to relax after driving for over an hour to get here. I used the washroom. There's an individual stall for women. It was clean, cheerful, and pleasant. I used it again just before I left to run a few errands before heading home. I watched the buzzer light up. I headed to the pickup area. The nice woman had my order ready. She let me know that I got a brownie bite on the house. It was so generous! I thanked her and headed to my table to chow down. The iced tiramisu latte was exceptional. I got a lady finger that I could dip into my drink. The espresso was a good strength with the cocoa. It had milk. You can substitute the espresso for decaf, and the milk for a dairy-free or lactose-free substitute. I didn't bother. It was nicely iced and a good size to wash down everything that I ate. I loved the complimentary brownie bite. The brownie core was delicious. The crispy exterior provided a nice contrast. It was enjoyable to devour! I loved the knafeh. It already had syrup on it. I got syrup on the side, as well as pistachio sauce. I poured the pistachio sauce over the knafeh. So good! The knafeh had cheese inside. It was stretchy and hot. Over time, the cheese lost its stretchy factor as it cooled. It was yummy with the right balance of crispiness and chopped pistachios with the pistachio sauce. The syrup made the knafeh slightly sweet. The sweetness was perfect for my liking. The knafeh was excellent. I have been trying to find a decent place that makes Dubai chocolate bars. Before visiting this store, most places made their bars on their own, but they were too soft. It was as if I looked at the bar and it melted on its own out of fear. I bought a bar of Dubai chocolate Lotus to enjoy. I paid with a credit card and included a tip because staff are so helpful and friendly. This bar was excellent. The crispy filling had Lotus cookie spread in it. The milk chocolate held everything together. I was impressed. I will be back to get the regular bar next. It's such a gem of a Palestinian dessert place. I'll be back. (439)

Chi Cha San Chen ( 吃茶三千 ) is a world renowned bubble tea shop…read more From California to New York to Taipei to Toronto, this shop's unique tea has proven itself to be top notch in the culinary world. Moreover they have been winning international taste awards for their outstanding products. I tried a milk based tea made with their famous the Dong Ding Oolong tea (凍頂烏龍). Dong-Ding Oolong Tea with Fresh milk was smooth tasting, sweet and creamy. Delicious. Whereas the Formosa Fruit Tea (寶島經典水果茶) was a black tea base packed with teeny pineapple bits, a bit of passion fruit seeds, paper thin slices of apples and citrus. Their offerings are plentiful, with both classic or seasonal teas on their menu. Worth a visit.

Immediately when I walked in I felt like I was in a cave. It was beautiful and cozy - just the way I like it. Service is always on point here, and their tea quality is always high. They steep their teas to order and with precision. Got their seasonal fruity tea and it was delicious. I usually opt for their signature milk tea but it was nice to switch it up to something refreshing and fruity once in a while. Check this location out, as it has a more magical touch than the others.
