    Warm maple milk with red bean
    Louise F.

    A boba place I don't know necessitates a visit when I see one. This one in particular is cool because they seemed to have a partnership with def tea(?) and had a small exhibition on deaf art in Canada. I was over the moon to see they had hot drinks since I was freezing outside. The maple milk caught my eye since it seemed so uniquely Canadian so I got that but was unfortunately unable to adjust the sugar level. It was great but the more I had it, the more the dominant flavor just became a very heavy sweetness. My friend got a roasted black sesame milk and that was just heavenly.

    Mint chocolate milk tea

    Stopped by while in the Distillery District because I had a boba craving (as usual) and chose the mint chocolate milk tea. Flavor was spot on but the ice ratio was a little weird. My boyfriend got some macarons, they were okay, pretty good for someone who's just wanting to try them at least once.

    Super cute bubble tea please in the distillery district! I ordered the taro slush with tapioca in it. I enjoyed the drink! I loved how the flavour was strong where you could actually taste the drink and not just ice. They also blended it nicely where there were no ice chunks. The tapioca was also please! It was soft enough and had a sugar coating on it. I ordered it during the CoVid-19 period so there was literally no on in there but the place looked really modern and clean. The staff was also really nice there as well! Would I go back? For sure! Especially if I end up at the distillery district again!

    Cute little bubble tea shop at the distillery district which is great if you need to satisfy your boba cravings. I enjoyed their matcha cookie and the staff is super friendly. I would come back to try the matcha foam drinks.

    A boba shop in the Distillery District! It is located in the Deaf Culture Centre building and shares the space with a kiosk that sells related merchandise. The tea shop has really reasonably priced items. Nothing comes with toppings so those are add-ons but with the regular sizes starting at around $3.50, that's pretty good! They have a lot of specialty items including a drink with Jakeman's Maple Syrup and have a special collab with Sapsucker Water that turns their fruit flavoured drinks into "fruit-ade" beverages. A lot of them can be ordered hot or cold so look out for that on the menu as well. I tried an Earl Grey Mango tea on this occasion. The earl grey taste was strong with this one. The mango part that came into play was actually bits of real mango at the bottom! A great replacement for tapioca. Another really cool thing is that they employ individuals that are from the Deaf Culture Centre too. Final bonus - they have some BTS merch for sale. I don't think it was officially licensed but still really cute!

    "Matcha milk tea" that was poorly blended and I was swallowing chunks of matcha powder

    Ordered: matcha milk tea (without sugar, 50% ice) The environment is nice but thats about it. The service wasn't friendly at all but it wasn't rude either. The drink I had was awful. I ordered the matcha milk tea and it was poorly blended. I was getting chunks of powder as I was drinking. Also, they advertise that they provide quality tea for low prices. However, their prices don't include toppings. So if you add a topping (tapioca, jelly, etc), the price of their drinks is similar to other places. Nothing about Palgong stands out to me. Their prices are similar to other tea shops and the matcha milk tea I had didn't stand out to me. Maybe I'll give it another try but I'm not eager to return either.

    Had the original iced milk tea - delicious! The distillery is not that busy right now and it's perfect to grab and walk around in the sun.

    Chatime is a long time favorite of ours, and we usually have a good experience. This time however…read morethe service was extremely slow and left a lot to be desired. I completely understand that, with one person working, things get overwhelming easily. When we arrived we just wanted to grab our mobile order, but there was zero eye contact, zero acknowledgement. Because of the time it took to collect our order, which was sitting out, the ice had melted a lot and watered down the flavor. This is not the fault of the overworked staff member. The responsibility falls on the company to not understaff on a summer weekend!

    This is one of the first bubble tea stores in downtown Toronto, opening around Sep 2011…read more We used to come here a lot, 9 times between 2019-06-27 and 2021-12-04. We came back on 2024-12-31 because we received a gift card. We ordered a Chocolate Hazel Delight (large $6.50). We added pearls for +$0.70. It tasted as expected. The customer service was good because there was no one else in the shop. There were 5 small tables and a long counter for standing beside. One table had lots of crumbs on it. The shop was reasonably modern and clean. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. They also sell cakes and cookies (new item) from Bakecode, their sister company. There is free WiFi. The shop is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, but it is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

Contrary to the weather outside. The young worker behind the counter greeted me with a smile, in spite of their preoccupation in making drinks. I asked her questions to help me narrow down my choice. I settled on a creamy mango with boba. With less ice and less sweetness. It was refreshing and satisfying, next time I will ask for 80% sugar because going down to 50% was too much of a drop. The place is pretty modern inside with an exposed brick interface, it kind of gave me the impression of being on a street in Taiwan. Outside they have this cute street post sign on the side of their building. All in all, service 10 outta 10, ambiance 10 outta 10 (although when I went the only other customer had left, so knowing how loud it gets, I was not able to decipher and that may impact this rating.) And drink... ah 7 outta 10. This is because it came out to be expensive for the size . Will try again.
