    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!

    such a cute place and they had a wonderful event for seventeen & had delicious drinks

    "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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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!

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.
