I am used to bubble tea chains around the GTA. It is rare that I can find an independent bubble tea and dessert place that I love. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with chains. Sometimes, it's nice to see a local business do its own thing, which makes it stand out. Hangout is such an establishment. After a delicious lunch, Jennifer and I braved the heat by getting into her car and driving a few blocks over instead of slowly making our way and looking like we had run a marathon. The establishment is spacious. You can spend hours playing board games alone. The assortment is at the back and it's extensive. I loved seeing a couple of arcade machines. If Pac-Man were there, I would be there all day. Pro: I would be loving the air conditioning. Con: I'd have carpal tunnel syndrome. There are yummy desserts and snacks here. Although the cakes and pretzels looked good, I couldn't fit any of that in my full tummy. I went with a large white peach tea. The base is jasmine green tea. I was asked whether I wanted anything else. I opted for coconut jelly. My mind was blown when the helpful woman at the counter asked me what flavour of coconut jelly and I had six to choose from. What?! That was a first for me. I went with lychee coconut jelly. I paid with cash. There appeared to be a machine that accepts credit cards. I'm not sure about debit, though. We sat down and chatted. I absolutely loved my tea. The peach flavour hit the spot on a hot day. I loved the lychee coconut jelly. I will never look at coconut jelly the same way. I'd love to come back here to snack and sip some more tea. It's a gem of a place and I'm glad that we hung out at Hangout. (273)

4 stars out of 5 for: - our bubble teas order but the avocado smoothie was more ice than avocado & had some skin pieces - appreciated the array of cards, board games available for patrons to use for as long as they want - nice open space -- accented w art work from Remix @ Somerset - convenient location

Yummmmmy!

We had a lot of fun attending our last Yelp event for 2016 here - hanging out at Hangout! Holly O did a great job setting up a corner of this restaurant for our festivities!! And it was great seeing everyone. As for the location itself, the restaurant is nice and bright, and a reasonably big space. Even the washrooms were nice and clean - and event smelled good! There was only 1 person working the counter, but she could have used some help as it was busy enough. We ordered coffee and deserts: cheese cake and chocolate truffle. These were really nicely set out on the plate, and quite tasty, although I think I might have enjoyed the truffle a bit more than the cheesecake, which is really saying something, coming from me! Others in our party ordered shaved ice. I'd never had this before, and was pleased with the taste of the small sample I got. The latté I had was a little different than I'm used to, as it's made with condensed milk instead of regular milk. This made it a bit sweeter than I usually have it; but still it was nice though. I enjoyed my visit to the Hangout, and would feel comfortable coming back. For this event though, I especially enjoyed the company! Thank you Holly O for putting this together! Happy holidays everyone, whatever you are celebrating!

Coconut shaved ice with lychee jelly and mochies.

I'm updating to give this place 5 stars. I came back today with my parents. My mom is obsessed with this place. She couldn't wait to go back after our last visit. Everything in my previous review still stands except they have gotten even better! Last time my mom said her red beans were too hard, this time they were softer and she loved them. Also this time the presentation was really pretty. You can see my pictures. On our second visit my parents got the taro shaved ice with red beans and mochies, and I got the coconut shaved ice with lychee jelly and mochies. You can see the shaved iced was all wavy and it looked like a flower. So pretty! We were served by I think the owner (a young guy). He was really nice. When my mom came to tell him that she felt her shaved ice was not a sweet as last time, he poured on some syrup for her for free. Service was excellent. Please refer to my original review for more details. This place is really great and a wonderful addition to the dessert scene here in Ottawa. I can't wait to go back and try their Almond flavour shaved ice :)

Great place to "hangout" with friends. I liked that they had board games, foosball and arcade games available. The bubbletea was delicious, with lots of options for flavours and toppings! I got the white peach tea with no sugar, pearls and grass jelly. I was surprised to find out that the green tea has no caffeine in it, which was exactly what I wanted. My friend got the roasted oolong milk tea with lychee jelly. Service was friendly. Would come back another time to try the shaved ice.

Shaved ice Op  Cute staff helped me customize it

Amazing shaved ice Asian lounge in Ottawa Chinatown. We were welcome by cute staff. The place has nice K-pop song, baby foot table and board/ card games. The lady helped me customized shaved ice . I believe it was green tea and vanilla milk. We added mango fruits, pudding, grass jelly, etc. Condensed milk is a must. Amazing. Shaved ice well done , I tried many of them in Toronto /Montreal and this one is pretty decent. Chinatown in Ottawa is sad LOL You could say that hangout makes it more alive. Definitely coming back. Good place for a cute date.

Jars to show you the toppings you can add to your milk tea!

My friends and I tried this place back when it was very new. Ottawa lacks shaved ice desserts, so we were pretty excited! The quality is not the same as say, Toronto, but still pretty solid. We ordered a few different drinks and shaved ice, and played some board games. The place was pretty empty, but hopefully now they are busier! They have quite a few varieties of the shaved ice so I will be back to try more.

Orange Creamcicle Brick Toast
Lesia N.

So I have been to Hangout three times now. Originally, the appeal for me was that I was told they had exceptional bubble tea, also that they offered patbingsu (shaved ice). I'd never had patbingsu before so I was looking forward to trying it. A Korean friend of mine said it definitely wasn't the best she'd ever had, but what do I know? I loved it! Today, however, I ordered a hot taro bubble tea and the creamcicle brick toast. The brick toast totally surpassed my expectations. Absolutely delicious. I'd had brick toast before, but this is on a whole other level. The presentation, the taste... amazing! Aside from the great desserts, they offer some board games and a foosball table, so it really is a decent "hangout." It's been quiet every time I've been because it's still fairly new, but I'm hoping it picks up soon!

Shaved ice & milk bubble tea
Stacey V.

I really like Hangout. I've introduced it to a few of my friends whom also seem to like it. So far, I enjoy Hangout's menu the most out of all the Bubble tea places I've tried in Ottawa. I have tried the shaved ice, my order was Vanilla Milk with Almond slices and Mango fruit jams. Delicious! I was surprised because I'd never seen this offered in a bubble tea café before. It is obviously not the same as what you would experience in South Korea, but I enjoyed it a lot. As for bubble tea, I always have milk tea with tapioca pearls. Every time I've had so far, the pearls were soft and delicious, and the milk tea tasted great. I tried mango and vanilla, both were delicious. Mango definitely the best! The décor is cute and spacious, they offer a few board games and a foosball table free of charge. Will definitely return in the near future!

There are a lot of options in their menu. The sitting area is also an arcade room. Free wifi. The shaved ice is a big portion. I would recommend this to everyone who loves asian desserts! Whoo hoo, I would come back again.

Strawberry brick toast
Nickie D.

They definitely make the worst bubble tea in Ottawa here, but everything else is good. They offer many strange flavours that intrigued me and there's a reason why I've never seen them anywhere else before. One sip of my tropical bubble tea and I wanted to throw it away. However, their shaved ice and brick toasts are very delicious, and everyone I know, myself inclufed love this place for the board games, free WiFi and atmosphere.

The shaved ice is in a plastic container and I didn't ask for to go
Peony N.

Ok, it's not what I expected or what I ordered had come out that look like one of those yummy pictures on Yelp, this is what I got. The shaved ice is in a plastic container, looks so bad and weird. How come I got this instead of those nice plate like the ones on Yelp? I didn't ask for a to go The shaved ice is ok not so great, and the Thai tea is bad, it's weird, I can't even described it. If you come from a place that has all kind of great Asian snacks similar like this then don't even bother to come here, not worth a try. I'm so disappointed.

Yummyummyumm... Omg yum

Wow. I was craving soft serve ice cream and decided to come here. To my surprise, I misinterpreted a photo of ice cream topped with whipped cream as soft serve ice cream. Despite this, I still wanted to try the brick toast with strawberry, icecream, whipped cream and etc. Although I was still alittle sad about the lack of soft serve ice cream the dessert perked me right up. It was friggen delicious. The bread used for the toast has a crispy and slightly flaky crust. The inside of the bread was eggy, sweet and just marvelous. The toppings all went well together and for some reason, I think I tasted some coconut. I'll take this over soft serve ice cream any day. The only concern I had was that there was only one person working the counter. He didn't even seem to notice me come in. However upon leaving there were 3 people. Aside from this aspect, I could even hear my neighboring tables saying 'man, he really knows what he's doing with this bubble tea'. So guess what I'm trying next ;)

I got the taro bubble tea smoothie with tapioca balls

See all
