I was wandering around the Bayshore Shopping Centre, when I spotted this newly opened Real Fruit Bubble Tea place. It's on the first floor and not in the food court, it's close to Mr. Pretzels and Kernels Popcorn.
Real Fruit Bubble Tea is a chain from Toronto and this location is the first in Ottawa. Personally, it's not my favourite bubble tea chain, but what I do like about it, is that their drinks come in 3 sizes, small, medium and large, whereas most places only have medium and large. Their smalls are a good size for a little snack and I like that I can pay less than $5 for a drink.
I got a small original milk black tea which came with free tapioca for $3.49. I got it half sweet and I probably could have gone with a quarter sweet. The milk tea itself was good with a strong tea flavour, but they were so stingy with the tapioca :(
There are no other bubble tea options in Bayshore, so Real Fruit Bubble Tea is a welcomed addition. I just wished they would be a bit more generous with the tapioca. read more
