On the other hand, I felt like the experience at this one was more of a standard tea chain whereas the one in NYC is aiming to be an elaborate process.

This is just a review for the mango pomelo sago. It's a great drink!…read more I wanted a medium size, but they only had large cups at the time. It was $8.25 CAD for the large drink.

In the simplest form, this is cheap, reliable, and gets you your bubble tea fix. It's not the best…read morethat I've tried, but it's also not the worst. It's purely that -- ok. Service-wise, it was great. Simple, fast, and ready with a bubble tea in your hand within a minute or two. The store is not a sit-down spot, but more of a small stall where you grab and go. I've been to several Chatime shops in the States, so I have an idea of what to expect and it's pretty much how Chatimes are rated in the States as well. We stopped by while going to nearby Old Montreal and happened to walk into Chinatown. I wanted to see what Chinatown in Montreal was like and truly got an idea for it. It's busy and all the stores are bustling and open crazy late -- just like this spot. This spot is open 24/7, which is unheard of in the other Chinatowns that I've been to in my life. We tried Presotea near our hotel so right away we had an idea of which bubble tea shop was considered higher-end/pricier. This spot was definitely for the cost-saving person who just wants a quick fix of bubble tea. The difference between the two is obvious. I ordered regular milk tea with the QQ topping. I like the QQ topping (which is nata de coco jelly with regular tapioca). It's half lychee jelly and half black pearls. The bubbles did not have the flavor that the Presotea bubbles had. Chatime is simply plain with no taste in their bubbles, which is fine. Tea-wise - I could not immediately tell the difference. However, in the end, each shop is meant for two different people.

Absolutely delicious! I tried the Mango Solar Bubble Tea and the Matcha Red Bean, and both were…read moreamazing! The Mango Solar Bubble Tea was super refreshing -- the mango flavor was vibrant and real, not artificial at all. The bubbles were perfectly chewy and added a fun touch to every sip. It felt like sunshine in a cup! The Matcha Red Bean was a beautiful balance of earthy matcha and sweet red beans. The matcha wasn't bitter, and the creaminess paired so well with the chewy red bean bits. A must-try if you love authentic matcha drinks. Friendly service, fresh ingredients, and unique flavors -- I'll definitely be back!

Whether or not it's a typical Montreal summer I don't know, but during my visit Montreal was hot…read moreand humid. I was walking everywhere and when I came across Shuyi Tealicious en route to the nearby art museum it appeared like some sort of desert mirage. I've never been so eager for a boba drink as I was at that moment. As a regular reader of yelp reviews I come often upon those for tea/boba shops and it's always a mystery to me how anyone knows what to order. The menus in these type of places are just plain confusing for someone who doesn't regularly consume these drinks. Shuyi's is no exception. But here's a secret: based on my random order one can't go wrong here even if one has no idea what it is they're ordering. Here at Shuyi Tealicious I ordered up something with Strawberry and Boba and drank it while sharing a nearby bench with an amusing bronze sculpture. That drink was so satisfying that it was done before my stomach knew it and I had to fight an urge to head back inside for drink #2. Yes, I was that dehydrated. These drinks are extremely satisfying, especially if you don't want to be overfilled while staring at art for the next few hours. I might not know anything about this type of place but I did like it a lot and it served to satisfy my craving.

Innovative boba shop in Montreal. Unfortunately I've never seen this franchise in the US, but…read moremaybe it's for the better or else I'll be spending too much on boba! I got their new product "happy taro milk tea" which comes pre-assembled with smashed taro chunks, taro balls, oats, and sago. It was very tasty. This boba shop prides themself in making sure they add enough ingredients/toppings in each drink and also give you the option to do less ice. I love that because I hate paying $5-7 for a boba that is mostly milk tea and 1/3 ice cubes.

I have passed this dessert and bubble tea shop more than a few times and while the advert at the…read moreentrance looks inviting, going up the stairs takes an extra effort. I am very glad, I did this time. The L2Lounge looks inviting with lots of seating places, looking quite comfortable. The seats are placed so that each group feels like their own private cubicle. Drawing display on the wall is contemporary and jazzy. I like when I see a place that looks to be bright, well maintained and clean. We had just finished our lunch somewhere else and now ordered one "crème molle" of mixed macha and taro as we are fond of both flavours. Instead of expecting the usual insolent remarks of many servers in that neighbourhood, being not entirely happy of ordering just one item, the question from the lady behind the counter was "do you want one spoon or two?" This is what I call customer service at its best. For this treatment alone, I will definitely come again and bring friends. This is going to be my favorite dessert place in this area. The ice-cream was just delicious, creamy and tasting all natural ingredients, with the price being very descent. There are also numerous bubble tea options that look very appetizing and would be on my order at my next visit. This is a dessert gem, worth exploring.

I can't speak for the drinks, but I can say they have a nice selection of blind boxes including…read morepopular Labubu, to nommi, twinkle twinkle, crybaby, and more.

No matter where you are in the world, The Alley consistently delivers on high quality boba…read moreespecially in a place that doesn't typically have artisan boba available. I'm a self-proclaimed boba connoisseur so I fully expected to enjoy this drink, and I did. They offer a variety of high quality milk and fruit tea beverages, and even offer non-dairy milk which made it the ideal situation for myself. I went with a Jasmine Soy Milk Tea Latte with Boba and it was refreshingly perfect. Boba was soft and satisfying, the milk tea had the perfect level of sweetness to it, and I was happy. Service was friendly and quick, and the decor inside had The Alley's trademark antlers welcoming guests to the shop. Definitely recommend as a spot for boba if you're downtown.

I kinda struggled to find my drink, because the digital menu kept flashing with different options but once I fixed my eyes on the same spot for the same view to come back around, I landed on my typical oolong milk tea. I went with the medium size (which is equivalent to large at most bubble tea places in Atlanta!) no sugar, less ice, and tapioca pearls. My two dudes got the large (read: massive) Mango Coconut Grapefruit Slush, which had chunks of all said fruit at the bottom! Too delicious. They also added peach popping boba. No adjustments. I was all too happy for the hefty size that they chose, since I kept asking for a sip. Then another. And another. One of those annoying situations, haha. For my milk tea, I either need to get a bit of sugar or figure out the brown sugar boba situation, because my tea needed more of a sweet oomph. Totally on me though. Super nice and fast service when we ordered. There's Wi-Fi, which was helpful for me to download the app and earn points for our purchase. I'm totally a fan of Presotea and will be back!
