Higher - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Location/Service This place is right in the heart of Chinatown - along Dundas street. There's public transit access and Green P available. It's a lower level unit - but you can't miss it cause it has a pretty big sign. Inside is very IG-worthy - lots of neon signs, mirrors and vibes for you to snap a few pictures. Staff were pretty nice - spoke mostly in Chinese - but manageable with English. Drinks They do pretty standard bubble tea drinks like other independent stores or chains. You can choose a variety of infusion, taro supreme, brown sugar and fruit bar drinks. Tried a few - Jasmine Matcha CLoud, Real Taro, Coconut Delight, Dalgona Coffee. I like how they use real ingredients and not the powdery stuff. It takes a little bit longer in that sense to make it - but you know it's legit. You can also adjust icing/sugar level to most drinks - which at 30% is the right level for me. I really liked the Dalgona coffee and coconut delight! read more

I love the drinks here! I've tried something different each time. Their jasmine matcha cloud is probably my favourite drink there, apart from their taro & red bean with fresh milk. Service is quick and efficient. There's a little back area with a some photo op. It's a great place to hangout or to order out. read more

Tried the higher nai chai with regular ice, 30% sugar, and added golden boba. I found the sweetness to be perfect, and I liked that I the golden bobas weren't sweet. They were smaller than typical black bobas, and could have been more chewy. But overall really great bbt! Tea flavour was strong enough. Chatime used to be my favourite but after having Chatime twice last year and not being super impressed, I've moved on to to trying the many bbt options now available in Toronto. This one definitely did not disappoint! read more

Great service. Loads and loads of Boba. Good value. I got a matcha brown sugar bubble tea and was surprised that they put three times as much Boba when compared to other places. Super satisfied and happy. I love Boba and this is my go to for a no frills type of drink in chinatown. It's a hole in the wall joint hidden in a little shopping area. But it's definitely worth it and it tasted fabulous. I prefer going to no frills kind of places that don't have the higher price for a nicer ordering area. Since I got my drink to go anyways. So this was a perfect treat on a budget! read more

Higher - Matche brown sugar for $8 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place brings me joy. During quarantine, I decided to embark on a Taro Milk journey to try a bunch of different places. This has been one of my revisited places. My favorite is the Taro Taro Ball Milk because I love the smoothness of the taro paste, paired with the chewy taro balls, and just milk. I would be open to trying other Taro items since they have a full series, but I just can't help going to my go-to every time I come since I know i'll love it. Price, quality, and flavor were all on point! Fun fact, if you order through FOD, you also can get a discount! read more

New local bbt brand. Offers a variety of drinks and desserts. Prices are competitive for a new store. Spacious. Ambient. Lots of selfie spots. Gimmicky washroom option. Drinks were pretty good.

We stopped by here the other night and had a really positive experience. Employees: The employees are so friendly and helpful. They were very personable and helped us both order items we had never tried before. The Ambiance: The ambiance was really cute. This is a small bubble tea shop with a few tables and the decor includes a wall of cute adorable ducks. The Food: I ordered a hot taro ball milk tea and it was absolutely amazing. It had taro balls in the drink in place of tapioca balls, since the drink was hot. The taro balls were sweet, chewy and delicious. I actually liked it more than tapioca. I ordered the drink with the least amount of sugar and it was still really sweet. My boyfriend ordered a more plain bubble tea and his was lacking sweetness. He also ordered his drink with the lowest level of sugar. He actually wished he ordered my drink instead. BOnus*** this restaurant has dairy free milk alternatives for vegans and people who suffer with lactose intolerance. Would I Return? Absolutely! read more

Stumbled upon Higher after a late dinner in Chinatown. Was pleasantly surprised as to how unique their decor was with the duck wall. I loved the purple rice yogurt drink as my dessert for the night - not sweet, light and delicious! read more

Located down the stairs of Chinatown. The vibe is different. Chinese rap fills the room. It has energy. Bubble tea is really good. The toppings are fresh and has a nice bite. I recommend the taro balls. They also have the peach gum for the calorie conscious individual. They even have an option for when you don't know what to order. Another thing that makes this place so fantastic is that that you can also eat desserts here. My go to is the bunny pudding. They also have traditional Chinese desserts and also bingsu! While you wait for your desserts or drinks you can see all these Instagramable backgrounds. This a locally made store. It's different from all the other bubble tea places that are implanted throughout the city. Yum! read more

Higher - Their purple rice topping is so good. Follow me on IG for more photos. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Went for bubble tea this evening and the experience was so fantastic! The three employees were all so friendly. I was having trouble hearing them and they were patient, explaining things over when I couldn't hear. Their service was really warm. I ordered the higher pearl nai chai with golden tapioca. It was so good! It tasted very fresh and I loved that the tapioca did not make me feel heavy. Will definitely visit here again. Happy I opted to try somewhere new and local. Highly recommend. read more

I like to try new things/restaurants/ dessert places. Enjoyed their bubble tea a lot! Didn't expect it could really happen to get the real Taro in Toronto! Omg! My most fav type of bubble tea ever! Must try: Taro taro milk tea/milk--ask 0% sugar, you can taste the real crushed fresh taro! Soooo sweet! Miss home soooo much! Oolong milk tea is pretty nice too! I like their special milk tea list :) Also, the location is REAL convenient, It's on Dundas. Just 2 mins walk from one of my fav Chinese restaurants! Really happy to came here and try it out the new bubble tea place! Hoping to come here again soon!!! read more

Standard selection of bubble tea drinks. The boba was a bit firm but the tea tasted good. Interior seating area looks nice but is currently closed due to covid. Has a cool wall of little rubber duckies that you can buy for $10 each. Service was mediocre. read more

Love their bubble tea! The staff here is friendly and the drinks are great. I tried their higher milk tea with taro tapioca. Just the right amount of sweetness. Their mango honeydew slush drinks are great too. Very refreshing! Check out IG: @ooi.eats for your next food adventure! read more

Higher - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Review is from an earlier visit in the beginning of March (yes I know I'm very late) Can I get any more higher than this place? I was here for a BTS event and I'm glad I was able to go! Their interior was pretty cool with neon lights and there was also a cute shelf with the rubber duckies on it. My friend and I got the purple rice yogurt and lemogurt bobo got juice and honestly they were both pretty good! It seems like purple rice is really uncommon so a good unique thing to try. The lemon one was super refreshing, kinda thick juice with the popping bubbles instead of the ordinary tapioca. What I love about this place is that they have milk alternatives for people who prefer something non dairy which is extremely rare for bbt places, so that's awesome. Would I return after quarantine is over? Definitely read more

Our experience at Higher most definitely did not live up to the reviews I read here and motivated us to go. I was extremely disappointed. The Jasmine lychee cheetea was at best mediocre. The sugar level was not customizable, contrary to a review I read here. The tapioca was inconsistently and over cooked, at least to my liking. What makes me say that I will not be back here was when also ordered a Jasmine green tea with taro topping and tapioca. The staff worker advised us that taro isn't recommended, to which we appreciated the heads up but still wanted to order. It is what we always get elsewhere. The problem for us is when she persisted that it wasn't good after saying 3x that we still want the drink. During the rest of ordering, she proceeded to make comments under her breath that it will be disgusting. At the end, she let us order it and it was fine. The purple rice yogurt drink was also fine. Contrary to other reviews, we did not have a pleasant experience here. read more

Best peach gum bubble tea in entire Toronto. I literally had it 2 out of 3 days when I visited from Vancouver. Melt in mouth peach gum which is super difficult to cook without being too hard or crunchy. Order their number four or roasted oolong peach gum and taro balls. They even have oat milk substitute if u need. Ask for half sugar. Bubble tea heaven. If they had one in Vancouver I would go weekly. read more

Higher - So many amazing toppings especially peach gum and taro balls!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I would refer this as a modern Chinese desserts place with a twist. It's a bubble tea place with some hip hop street style design and at the same time infused some historical Chinese designs. The wall of ducks is super cute and have a lot of places for selfies as well. The washroom is amazing . The lights in the washroom changes accordingly to the music beats. read more

funny and nice cashiers and they are friendly. Has a wonderful area and clean area. Would come again. Free wifi read more

Lots of selfie spots. They offer a "surprise me" option where they will pick the flavour you get. I got the normal pearl milk tea at 50% sugar with the tapioca, which I personally think was super good. They offer a mini size for their milky BB series which is an interesting option if you don't want too too much to drink. Overall, I would definitely visit here again. read more

Didn't know this place was open until it popped up on Instagram feed. Its a cute place with very interesting decor for pictures. There's a section with a bunch of rubber ducks in different outfits which was my favourite. There was also a bunch of neon signs for the name of the shop as well as a cool mirror. They have some weekly specials for the soft opening so I ordered the roasted oolong with less sugar. I liked that you were given the option to change sugar and ice levels. Even though it was a full sugar, I enjoyed the drink although the tapioca could have been a little sifter. The server was very nice and did her best to spell my name on the cup. They also have stamp cards if you plan on going back. They have a lot of options for drinks so I would like to go back again to check out other drinks as well. read more
