I tried their holiday drink and it's literally heaven. It's a matcha slush base, with a strawberry cheese foam on top, along with little strawberry pieces. It's so good and I hope they keep this on their permanent menu. I have been to almost all the GTA Machi Machi locations, and got to say this one is a bit run down. I always love the aesthetic and vibes, but this one didn't pass. The floors/rug was soaking and so slippery, wall paint chips, had an odd smell, etc.
Tucked away in a small space is this Asian shop specializing in dessert drinks. Expect less sugar and more flavor. The strawberry latte with panna cotta delivered on just that! There was one other customer at the store and we got our drink within 5 minutes. The price of the drink is quite high, but it's a nice treat once in awhile.
I've been resisting but I finally went.., in Toronto. LOL The lines in NYC for machi machi go crazy, but I finally get the hype. The matcha is probably one of the best chain bubble tea matchas Ive had. Very smooth and not too sweet, a lot of the matcha taste comes out. The panna cotta is also a light flavor (its similar to the pudding topping at other shops!) , so they work well together. The grapefruit slush was also one of the best Ive ever had. The jelly was AMAZING and definitely does not just taste out of a can. Very refreshing for a hot day with the natural pulp too! Only thing that its SO expensive- I cant justify getting this weekly but worth the extra splash of cash.
Location/Service This place is within the new strip plaza on Midland (north of Finch). It's near the front so you can't miss it. Lots of parking available in this plaza and close to public transit. Inside it's pretty big. Although no seating available at this moment due to COVID, but it gives off a nice cafe ambience - with its cute wall, paintings and decor. Good safety measurements in place. And there's a well protect plexiglass for the staff when placing order and making drinks. I'm glad they also added a microphone so it's easier to talk (and not shout). Drink Heard this place is pretty popular in Asia - with locations in Taiwan and Korea. The cute bottle captured my attention - but not necessary to get. It is plastic (not glass), so definitely can't withhold heat or hot drinks. Ordered the black tea panna cotta. It's an interesting fusion of an Italian dessert fusing with Taiwanese tea. Visually, it's nice and you gotta mix is hard with a straw to drink both layers. But I won't say it 'wowed' me that much. Maybe I'm not used to these kind of drinks, so I felt the combo of the two was a little weird. There were lumps inside, which also made it a little weird as well. The tea overall was okay, more a bit on the sweeter end (and you couldn't adjust). For this price and drink, I thought it was nice for a first try. And I went literally 2 days after they opened. So maybe once it's more stable and settled, I'll try some of their other signature drinks as well.
A nice and refreshing drink shop in Skycity plaza in Toronto. They have numerous drinks. One of their recommended drinks is the Strawberry Latte Panna Cotta. The drink balance is perfect. Highly recommended.
This was my first time coming here and I had an overall great experience. The staff were so kind and helpful, and they have a great selection of drinks! I ended up getting the matcha with panna cotta and was very impressed. It is thicker than the usual drinks that I get, but sooo delicious and creamy. I'll definitely be coming back to try other drinks. Also I love the cute containers!
Hands down my new favourite bubble tea shop! Their classic black milk tea and oolong milk tea is the perfect amount of tea flavour, without being too watered down or milky like some other places. When you get their milk teas with their golden pearls, the pearls bring a little bit of sweetness from the syrup and goes really perfectly with the milk tea. They have some super special drinks like a milk tea with creme brûlée on top of their strawberry drink with pannacotta in a suuuper cute bottle! Definitely recommend anyone who wants to try a new bbt spot!
I stumbled upon their Instagram and found out about their Back to School promotion this weekend where you get a free thermos with purchase of any drinks. Since I happen to be in Scarborough and saw the promotion before they opened, I decided to make a trip out for a bubble tea to kick off the weekend. Machi Machi have a menu of insta-worthy drinks. I previously went to their downtown location and got the strawberry panna cotta in the cute bottle. I arrived right at opening and there was a lineup outside already. I waited about 40 minutes before I got to the counter to order. While waiting in line, a staff handed out cookies and menus thanking us for waiting which is a really nice touch and acknowledge their customers. My only feedback would be for them to hand out tickets for the bottles as there were people who joined their friends at the line when they approached the front of the line which isn't fair to other people in line. This time I ordered the mochi red bean brulee matcha smoothie. The drink looks amazing! The mochi was warm and a lightly toasted, the matcha flavour was great and goes well with the red bean that's naturally sweet. On the top, there's a layer of cheese foam also! The pricing of the drink is definitely on the higher end, but it's nice to have once in awhile!
I love this chain! I've had drinks from multiple locations and they've stayed very consistent. I got the creme brulee milk tea and it's such a treat. I got less sugar and less ice and it's the perfect amount of sweetness to the strong tea flavor. I try not to overmix the drink as I feel as though the creme brulee overpowers the drink. Overall this is a must try if you love creme brulee and milk tea!
Came on a weekend and there was a huge line up. I think it is the brand name that makes people hyper. This brand focus on creamy drinks and smooth texture (which the drinks will contain lots of cream and sugar aka fat). I could have it once a while. Tapioca - nothing special, just the white pearls (they named it Golden Pearls). The texture is on the chewy side and I like it. But there are other bbt chains offer the same tapioca. Tea - very strong tea flavor and you can see the fannings in the drink. I like this brand but I would not waste my time to line up for it.
An international bubble tea chain mainly known for its celebrity involvement, Machi Machi is now in the GTA with 4 locations. The panna cotta was yummy, but the black tea was average. The presentation was nice, but not worth the $9 for a plastic bottle that you will end up throwing away. Black Milk Tea with Panna Cotta ($8.10) @MachiMachi_Canada Price Range: $4.90 - $8.10 IG: #The_Yum_Report
On my bucket list for a while now has been Machi Machi for its aesthetic beverages and little shop! In all honesty, this was mainly a "one time, do it for the 'gram" visit since their store is a big trek from where I live, topped off with the fact that this one drink costed me $8.10 plus tax. I ordered the FRESH STRAWBERRY LATTE WITH PANNA COTTA. I'm not usually a strawberry drink kind of girl, but this was one of their top 5 and with the price point, I wanted to opt for a unique beverage that I can't get elsewhere. I loved the panna cotta which was perfect in terms of sweetness and unbelievably smooth to drink. The strawberry latte itself was flavorful and you could tell it was made with real strawberries (you'd even occasionally slurp up some seeds)! Despite its fixed sugar and ice level, it was good for my liking. All in all, a well-made and tasty drink, but too high of a price point for another purposeful visit. Service was friendly with many thank yous throughout the experience. The shop was very aesthetic to the eye and decor was extremely cute. From a quick glance, the store looks clean and tidy. I just wished they turned the music volume down as it was extremely hard to hear them call out the drink numbers, especially considering their store layout - you aren't able to clearly see the drinks that are ready from the waiting area due to the way the counter is facing. Definitely a very busy hot spot with people flooring in, one after another! This is interesting to see, especially since this is a plaza loaded with other bubble tea shops and desserts. Follow me on Instagram @oh.snap.vonny for more food reviews and photos!
With there being so much hype around Machi Machi for its famous brand association with Jay Chou, my friends and I decided to go and check the place out. Overall impression: Great taste and loved the panna cotta topping, but to pay over $8 after tax for this small of a size is simply not worth it. The tea itself is nothing special and the 'reusable' bottle is just plastic. Beware of potentially long lines

I love the cute interior and the wall graphics in this place! So cute! Did a little photoshoot with my drink coz of just that lol! I tried their very popular creme brulee milk tea with light sugar and I'll tell you to not order it with light sugar - it doesn't taste that good without the regular level of sweetness. The creme brulee on the top was a thick layer of torched cream that went smoothly with the drink. The staff were nice here and they have a few chairs if you want to sit and have your drink inside. I love how they have their menu is displayed as a giant tissue roll - very creative! read more
This would be my second time trying out Machi Machi, I didn't know they had one at this plaza. I came with a friend on a weekday to grab a drink. We both got creme brulee black milk tea with gold pearl. They had a promo buy one get second half off which is awesome! The drink was quite creamy, love the creme brulee. The layout of the store doesn't seem like it's for people to hang out as there aren't chairs or tables but that was okay. Overall not bad, will definitely be back to try out their other drinks if there is a promo again. read more

As a Los Angeles native visiting Toronto, I was on the look out for boba places to visit that I wouldn't otherwise find back home. Machi Machi came on my radar as it seems to be a popular chain on the east coast. I couldn't find a Machi Machi in LA, so I decided to come here. I thought their drinks were very unique and different from what you'd find at a lot of boba places, especially in LA which is a large mecca of boba varieties to choose from. I went for the mochi black tea with cream foam since having mochi on a skewer sit in my drink was a new concept to me. Overall, I thought the idea was executed well. It was the right amount of sweetness and the mochi was a nice add on to the black tea. The cheese cream wasn't too thick that it dissolved well into the black tea. It is a bit expensive for boba, but since I was a tourist on vacation i was willing to spend a little more to try something different. If I were a local, I'd probably come here less if there were cheaper options around. Unfortunately, I didn't spend a lot of time in Toronto to go back a second time to try their other drinks. I was also intrigued by their panna cotta drinks which appear to be their best sellers. I'll definitely come back to Machi Machi if I'm in Toronto again or at one of their other locations. read more

Tried them for the first time via ubereats and although they are pricier than other BBT places, their service and quality really stood out! We got the black milk tea with panna cotta and signature creme brulee milk tea. Both were really good! The tea is super silky and smooth. They also added a cute xmas hat for the holidays and gave free chocolates! Bonus points for the thoughtful gifts read more

I am a regular at both the Scarborough and North York Machi Machi location. My usual order is milk tea with taro balls. Their taro balls are my absolute favourite out of all the bubble tea chains and I usually come here to satisfy the craving. It was a busy afternoon and the person in front of me ordered 20+ bottled drinks likely for the cute santa hat they've been giving away. After leaving the store with my order I realized that they gave me tapioca instead of taro balls. When I went back to they brought me the correct order within 2 minutes and apologized again and again. I really appreciated the prompt and friendly service. Although the price point is slightly higher then other places, there's no doubt I will be back as I do truly enjoy all of their drinks I've ordered so far. I recommend trying the creme brûlée milk tea with light sugar as it's my go to for a more dessert-like bubble tea :) read more

Love getting the black milk tea with creme brûlée, I usually get it with no sugar because the creme is pretty sweet itself. Would avoid going close to closing hours since tapioca runs out fast like most bubble tea places. read more

It is their soft opening on this new location and we have to wait for 15-20 minutes before we can order. Decoration inside definitely reminds me of Taiwan, love their cute decor. We order their famous milk tea with panna cotta and strawberry slush and jelly with lime foam (only made in this location they said) Both drinks were really good, specially the strawberry slush. read more

The interior of the store is really pretty, designs are simple and elegant looking. They're also doing a great job at making sure that customers follow important COVID-19 protocol like social distancing and sanitation. The matcha latte drink that I got was pretty interesting, but the matcha was too bitter for my liking. read more

amazing experience! i got the crème brûlée black milk tea with no sugar, and it was perfect for me. the top layer was pretty sweet, and the tea had a strong taste, and the two came to a good balance. this drink itself was something i've never seen before, and it was a super nice combination. i also really liked the mini taro balls. the only issue i had with this drink was that it was difficult to drink as it got towards the bottom read more
