Strawberry Matcha Latte
Cindy N.

One of my favourite matcha spots in the city! I usually get the strawberry matcha latte but this time I decided to try out one of their summer drinks menu. I ended up going for the sunny coconut matcha drink they had. Sunny coconut matcha: Coconut jasmine tea with matcha cheese foam on top. It was a refreshing blend for the hot summer heat. If you're a coconut fan this is a great drink to have. Despite how busy the shop is, the service is quite fast and efficient. There's seating at the back but it tends to be full most of the time. Glad the quality remains consistent as always!

Came here with my husband because he wanted to buy some authentic matcha powder. I got the Jade Breeze drink which was yuzu matcha and iced.. perfect for the summer heat! I added tapioca to it and did not regret that choice! There was a big line at the door but it went by fairly quickly.. lots of people ordered the strawberry matcha latte, but not for me. They also have a back side that is like a tea bar, seemed like a cozy place to hang out but also was full

My favourite strawberry matcha is from Icha Tea! First time at this location and and it was packed! There was a long line to even order but the drink came out pretty quickly after ordering. There's a narrow hallway area in the store that leads to a larger back seating area which is nice. I like their other location on the west end more and for some reason it tasted better there than when I got it at this Chinatown location. They have adorable merch around the store that you can purchase, with some being from local businesses like candles.

The service was a 10 out of 10 they answered all the questions that I had and they made my drink rather quickly I got the iced strawberry matcha 25% sugar, given that I got 25% sugar I thought that I would be able to taste the matcha more, matcha naturally has an intense flavor hence why people like to put a lot of sugar in it but I didn't taste much matcha...I barely taste it to be honest which is why I have to put this out of 3/5 based on this drink alone I would not go back I didn't enjoy it. It wasn't horrible the strawberry flavor was delicious but I wouldn't order it again. The place was busy the seating area inside was full I visited around 4:00 on a Tuesday it's clear other people do enjoy the drinks if you prefer more sweetness than actual matcha flavor then this might be good for you at a 50 or higher percent sugar level I personally like to taste matcha in my matcha so it wasn't for me Also note that they do have other milk teas and toppings not just matcha

Oolong and dirty matcha
Natalie Y.

I got an iced matcha dirty cafe latte and my friend got a phoenix oolong milk tea~ I wish they served my drink in a clear cup too but regardless, it was really good! at first, i got a huge hit of the matcha which came off as too bitter. but after mixing it with the sweet coffee, it became a perfect blend of the two flavors. it gave me so much energy to last the day! we came back again a few days later and I got a chrysanthemum pu er tea! it was light and refreshing~ got it 25% sweet and it was perfect for me! the inside is super big and spacious. it's a nice place to unwind and relax while sipping on our drinks (though I chugged mine in a few seconds)

Had to stop by for boba while in Chinatown. I was very intrigued by how they brew their tea for drinks. I ordered the snowy rose jasmine milk tea with less ice, 50% sugar, and grass jelly. Drink didn't take long to make. My milk tea was delicious and you can really taste the tea flavor in every sip. However, it wasn't sweet at all even though I asked for 50% sugar. It honestly tasted more like 25% or less. My husband who hates drinking sugary drinks took a sip of my drink and really liked it which shows how little sugar was in there.

Their strawberry matcha latte is really popular so I had to try it to be sure - and it did not disappoint. Although I did feel the strawberry was slightly overpowering the matcha but it wasn't so in a bad way. The matcha quality is really good though and had a very strong flavour which I loved! I also love their cute Japanese decor although I didn't get a seat in their cafe area coz it was crazy busy! The service is also very friendly and efficient, just how it should be.

Strawberry Matcha Latte

Apparently the best spot to get Strawberry Matcha Latte so I was super hype to try it! Thankfully a short line when I went. They use a very popular ceremonial grade matcha from Japan so this is legit Service was fast and got drunk within 5 minutes I got mine with oat milk and my friend got hers with soy milk. I wouldn't recommend the latte with oak milk because it did make it sour. It tasted better with soy milk. I wouldn't travel all the way to downtown just for this tho, if i was in the area sure. 7/10 Ambiance was cute cafe vibes and they had a huge back room with tables! didn't get to check it out though.

Located in Chinatown of Toronto with many nearby eateries! I went to Juicy Dumplings and this place was close by and so me and my sister decided to go here and we tried their strawberry matcha latte and it was so good! Definitely high quality. This place was really busy and it makes a lot of sense why. They have a tea bar at the back which is cool. They also have little trinkets to purchase such as rings or earrings by the counter. I definitely recommend their matcha latte! It's definitely what they're most known for.

Interior decoration

Best strawberry matcha I've ever tried!! This place serves high quality drinks and you can tell it's something they care about by their traditional processes and types of products they use. I looove coming here on a hot day and getting an iced strawberry matcha. Their matcha is high quality and the colour of it is amazing. They also sell some tea in store that customers can go and purchase to make at home. The workers are all really kind and helpful even though it can get quite busy during the day. They're super attentive to what I want and quick with their service! There's minimal seating in this location but I treat it more like a to go place anyway. The prices can range from $5-$8 a drink. Pricey, but a really unique menu and lots to choose from.

Rose Jasmine Tea with Boba (middle)
Generous Y.

Decent boba spot but there are quite a few nearby, so not necessarily the top. Tea is strong and genuine, but for the specialty drinks, it was overpowered by milk or other liquids (ratio felt off). They do tea tasting which shows how proud they are of the tea, which I can get behind. I support the tea here. Overall, I think this is a splendid spot for authentic tea but just acceptable for boba and milk tea. Interior is nice, there's a larger seating area beyond the checkout area. Restrooms available. Rose Jasmine Tea w/ Boba - an okay green tea, there was an after taste present but very light. Rose wasn't as obvious as green tea is already a bit floral in flavor. Boba was chewy but not too flavorful, not a lot of sweetness if at all. Could be improved, but it does the job of a decent boba.

Matcha latter (iced, 25% sugar)
Hayden C.

The matcha latte was pretty well balanced between the matcha and milk flavour. At first glanced it seems like that matcha looks grainy but after a good mix it kinda disappear. Although I do wished the matcha could be on the stronger side. I would recommend this to those who would prefer more of balanced side of matcha. I would recommend the matcha tea if you would prefer a stronger matcha flavour, which I did enjoy more of.

Sheree Z.

Big fan of their matcha - they use Marukyu Koyamaen's matcha so you know it's solid. I asked for 50% but I think 75% would be better. I would skip the earl grey cake. Get spot to get a cute bite or study in the back. There's a good amount of seating tucked in the back.

Hanbingo - Blueberry and mango cheesecake bingsu cup

Chinatown, Downtown Core

we were looking for dessert after dinner and came across this place for bingsu. we got the seasonal…read morechestnut tiramisu bingsu (which only had the large size), and we also got the small injeolmi bingsu to share between 4 people which was the perfect portion. i really liked the brownie bits in the tiramisu, the bingsu itself isn't too sweet so the brownies added a nice bit of sweetness. the injeolmi one was also pretty good. i really liked the mochi toppings that it came with. the inside of the place is really cute. there are some seats upstairs and more seating downstairs. the downstairs area was decorated with flowers and photocards hanging around, and there's also a photobooth there. we chose to sit upstairs since it was a little dark downstairs. we came around 7pm on a saturday and it wasn't too crowded. you order at the kiosk when you enter and the desserts came out pretty fast. i would definitely come back here to try the other items on their menu, such as their toast and other bingsu flavors.

It's a cute cafe in the Spadina strip. We tried the mango bingsu and the beargato which was…read morebasically affogato poured on a bear and I am editing this review to add a few things around the taste... So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

Holy Choco - Sushi Crepe (7 pieces, $16.95)

One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Kream Dessert - earl grey spanner

Kream Dessert

I stopped by Kream after seeing all the hype on Instagram about the famous Korean "Dubai…read morechocolate." When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!

Kream is a really solid dessert stop. Everything looks freshly baked and beautifully presented, and…read morethe flavours live up to it. The cube cakes are rich without being overly sweet, and you can tell care went into both texture and balance. They're also filled generously with so much cream! Prices are fair for the quality, especially given how unique some of the flavors are. Great spot if you're craving something a bit more refined than your typical bakery dessert.
