4.5/5
K-sweets Tea, a quaint bubble tea store located across from High Park, is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. The store's owner exudes a friendly and charismatic vibe, making customers feel at home. The interior design is another standout feature, featuring charming watercolor-style bubble tea art on the walls and an array of plush bubble tea characters adorning the seating area. Personally, I couldn't resist the pandas!
What sets K-sweets Tea apart from other bubble tea spots in Toronto is its affordability, particularly given its location. For example, their popular dalgonae coffee is priced at a modest $5, while other cafes might charge $7 or more for the same drink. Recently, K-sweets Tea expanded their offerings to include a food menu, highlighting fresh mango desserts. I tried their mango sago dessert and found it to be the perfect balance of sweetness and freshness.
Their matcha milk tea was also a standout, with each component carefully measured to the gram to ensure a perfectly harmonious blend. It was one of the better matcha milk teas I've had in Toronto. As an added bonus, the owner graciously offered me a sample of one of their Vietnamese street food items, an egg bite with a savory flavor and a hint of umami that I suspect came from dried shrimp.
In short, K-sweets Tea is a wonderful addition to the High Park area, filling a much-needed gap in the bubble tea scene. The prices are reasonable, the desserts are fresh, and the service is top-notch. Don't miss out on this hidden gem! read more
