TL;DR/The Short Version: Solid bubble tea shop that's near Tunney's Pasture. Nice interior. Tasty…read moretea. The Long Version: I was walking around the 'hood with my husband and was in the mood for some bubble tea. Westboro/Hintonburg/Wellington West now has a good selection of bubble tea shops compared to a few years ago. We have 4 shops within 2-3km of each other, well, 5 if you count this waffle/crepes place that doesn't specialize in bubble tea but sells it, I don't count it because I think their bubble tea is terrible, so I'm only counting legit bubble tea shops (I know that's nothing compared to some other neighbourhoods, but considering we had none at the start of 2022, four by the end of 2024 is pretty good). Where I was going with this is there's competition so the bubble tea shops often have daily specials or BOGO deals on UberEats. I always prefer to get the daily specials directly from the store, but if they have none or it's a flavour I don't like, I'll do the UberEats deals. They didn't have any advertised daily specials in-store, but had a BOGO deal on UberEats, so that's what I got. I got 2 regular-sized peach green teas for $6.88. I added 3J to them (tapioca, herbal jelly and pudding) for an additional $1.13 each (you have to pay for the toppings for both drinks, it's not BOGO on additional toppings). The drinks were ready in 5 minutes, which was perfect as we were literally 5 minutes away when I ordered. When I entered the store the sole employee was making bubble waffles for another customer. I patiently waited for her to finish her task. She poured the batter into the waffle iron then walked to the drinks making area. She then looked at me but didn't acknowledge me and went to make another customer's drink. Since I saw my order packaged and ready to go on the counter with my name and order number on it, I politely advised the employee that this was my order. I held up my phone to show her my order number and asked if I could just take it and go. She leaned over and looked at my phone and confirmed I could take it. Great! The drink was delicious. I asked for no sugar and lite ice and it was still a bit too much ice (about a third of the cup was ice), but the sweetness was perfect. There's sweetness from the toppings so the drink was plenty sweet for me. The tapioca was soft and chewy, the herbal jelly was smooth and not too strong tasting. The pudding was sweet and I liked it (note that it's pudding jelly so it's a bit jiggly, lol). The amount of toppings was sufficient. The green tea had a strong tea flavour, which I liked. The peach was subtle though. I wouldn't have minded more prach flavour. They use opaque paper cups, which is great for the environment, albeit less pretty for pictures, lol. But the plastic covering is transparent, so you can see a bit of your tea ;) The straws are paper, which again is good for the environment but I have always struggled with paper straws because I can't seem to get them to pierce the plastic covering properly. With other stores the plastic covering is too sturdy and the pointed tip on the paper straws gets all blunt because of my multiple attempts to stab through the plastic covering and I always fail and must get out my Swiss Army knife to do the job. At Gong Cha, the plastic covering is much thinner and my stab was too forceful and ripped the entire plastic covering from one side to the other. So I made a big mess on the sidewalk and the plastic covering was all ripped, lol. Despite this fiasco, I still enjoyed the drink very much. I'm hoping they will participate in the Daily Specials that other locations have. (197)

The pistachio gelato had a good flavour and texture, and it's definitely worth trying. The owner was extremely nice as he offered to go out in the rain with me to help me find something I lost (after I left the restaurants hours earlier). Overall, I'd give them 8.8/10

My husband and I went here for some gelato/ice cream and it was fantastic!…read more I got a small gelato ($5 taxes included) and I was thrilled that I was able to pick 2 flavours. I got mango and pistachio. I liked that they put the flavours side by side and not on top of each other. They also really filled up the cup so the portion size was excellent. The mango flavour was really potent, which I loved. The pistachio flavour was rich and nutty, which I also loved. They didn't have too many flavours, but a good mix of fruity and chocolate/caramel/etc. I would definitely get gelato here again. My husband got a soft serve ice cream dipped in S'mores. Omg! The S'mores dip was so good. It was chocolatey and had mini dehydrated marshmallows in it. My husband ordered a large ($5 taxes included), but I think they gave him a small because it looked small and they only charged him for a small ($4 taxes included). That's ok, we should be moderating our intake of sweets anyway, lol. The ice cream was rich and creamy. The dips are an extra $1, so you can get soft serve without dips too ($3 for a small and $4 for a large, inclusive of taxes). Service was friendly. We went during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Staff were wearing masks, physical distancing rules were in place, and there was hand sanitizer by the entrance. There are picnic tables and patio tables out front. Free parking in the private parking lot.

I wanted to try this place out because it's listed as a dessert place and I really enjoy dessert. Perhaps dessert isn't as profitable as one would want because they've "diversified" the menu and serve a few sandwiches and pre-packaged ramen. For me, though, the aroma of stale ramen on the air just doesn't help my appetite for dessert. Also, the restaurant was dark and didn't look as clean and bright as I want in my dessert place (or anywhere I eat). That might have just been my perception. Fortunately, they didn't have the dessert that I wanted. So, we left the ramen shop quickly.

The Short Version: Bubble tea meets yogurt. So delicious!…read more The Long Version: Hi Yogurt is a Canadian company that sells yogurt drinks, bubble tea-style. They've been around since 2021 but their first Ottawa store just opened in September 2025. I stumbled across them while looking on Google Maps for new businesses in town. I popped by during their soft opening (September 12, 2025) and they had 3 specials going on: buy one get one half-price, buy 2 get 1 free, or get $2 off a single drink. Since I was only getting one drink, I opted for the $2 off, but the other 2 offers are a better deal. I got the Oat Cereal Yogurt ($6.99) and added Matcha Mochi for an additional $0.69. With the special my drink was only $5.68. I initially wanted to get no added sugar, but the cashier cautioned against it because she said it would be really sour, so I opted for the second lowest sugar amount which is 30% (the other options are half, regular and extra). I am glad that I did because 30% was the perfect amount of sweetness for my tastes. I agree that no sugar would have been too sour. I think if I had ordered a drink with fruit in it like mango or berries, no sugar would have been fine, but the oats are not sweetened and the mochi is not that sweet either. The yogurt was thick, rich and tart. It was so good. The oats gave it a nice chew and the mochi had a fun silky texture (note that the mochi is like liquid mochi in bubble tea drinks and not chewy mochi pieces like in Bingsoo or toppings found at those frozen yogurt places). I thoroughly enjoyed my drink and looking forward to returning to try their other drinks. Service was courteous and helpful. The decor is bright and cheery. There's a stuffed llama in the store. There's a bit of seating on high stools but it's mostly a takeout place. Street parking only. Review #180 (2025)
