If it's your first time with bubble tea I recommend trying the peach or mango with no milk, after that start trying out some of the more exotic flavours like litchi with milk or taro. The signature milk tea is the Magic Tea, highly recommended. There are probably 100 different teas on the menu. Summer time is the best time for the chillers, essentially a bubble tea slushy. Price wise they are pretty reasonable for this type of experience, but be prepared to spend 15.00 for two. If it's getting late best to give them a call and make sure they have bubbles left. :)

The store has decent bubble tea but it is overpriced. 6 dollars for a regular size... a little to…read morerich for my blood. My main complaint, however, is the fact that the owner is so rude. I went in there one night when he was with a bunch of his friends and he stated that they are all out of bubble yea... I find that very hard to believe. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went back a few days later. I was greeted by the same unfriendly owner who acted as though he was doing me a favor and did not even greet me upon entrance. I was asking which flavor was his favourite and he simply asked me to turn the menu around to reflect the "best in Halifax" marking on the front. A real jerk, I will not be returning and the Indochine Banh M near spring garden will be my go to, the tea is better anyways.... Spare yourself the time.

My second experience here wasn't as great. The barista used dairy milk in both my husband and my…read morehot chocolate even though I specifically said almond milk and she acknowledged me. Thankfully hubby was watching and brought it to her attention. She wasn't rude or anything but she said she didn't recall us asking for almond milk. And then she changed her story and said she remembers us asking it for one but yet she made both with dairy so that didn't make sense. She did apologize and fixed the mistake but it felt like a lot of excuses when it was clearly her mistake. And then after all that, the hot chocolate tasted bitter and awful and not like chocolate whatsoever. First experience: The Tare Shop is absolutely stunning both outside and in. Part cafe, part store\bulk foods. There's not a lot of seating but as long as it's not overly busy it should be fine. The cafe is small but has a nice selection of drinks and offers almond milk. They keep a small selection of baked goods and usually has at least something vegan. The coolest fact is that they are a waste free store and proudly let you know by the plastic bags and coffee cups saved by shopping there. They also sell a good selection of eco-friendly items, such as, feminine hygiene products, bamboo toothbrushes, soaps and much more. The bulk foods wall has large glass jars with everything from beans to Good Parma vegan cheese to pretzels and laundry soap. The store is clean and cozy and there's plants everywhere which I love.

The staff member was flustered and not friendLucille or inviting. I looked around, had to ask for assistance (only person in the shop) She answered my questions from behind the cash. The items I wanted were not in stock. "NO" was the only thing she said. I asked for a coffee and she she replied "NO we don't have that!" I was surprised and said"You don't have coffee?!?" Then she said ... "oh yeah we have cold brew." Can I have one?!? Shocked at this point. She then proceeded to line up three glasses and lecture me about TARE and everything would need to be weighed. I wanted to walk out but desperately needed a caffeine fix! ok I'll take the large one with cream. Rolls her eyes and says" we don't do cream here, dairy alternatives only." I took the coffee with coconut milk and a samosa. She took the tongs and handed me the samosa. A plate? Again .... No its a to go item only, do you have your own bag? We are waste free don't you know? " Certainly you must have a brown bag.... She takes the Samosa and bag (not in) with tongs and hands it to me. Worst experience I've had in a long time. I can still shop at a zero waste store and not be shamed about it. I felt judged and extremely uncomfortable. You need to do better TARE SHOP. Will not be returning and spreading the word.

The food menu is fantastic offering a selection of sandwiches, paninis, salads, sweet treats / baked treats and a soup of the day. The tea menu is vast offing over 10 different flavors of tea. They serve both medium and dark roast organic coffee and a variety of coffee drinks (iced, espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc). Smoothies are also available and you can get protein added for a small price addition. If I had to recommend a specific item on the menu id say go for a Chicken Parmesan or Turkey Bacon Club panini with a side Quinoa salad, along with a dark roast coffee.
