They…read morehave outdoor seating area but not comfortable and inviting enough for you to enjoy your lattes. I have high hopes that the matcha here will be good since I always see this spot packed with people but was really disappointed when I tried their popular Strawberry Matcha Latte. It's incredibly frustrating to pay a premium price for a matcha latte only to end up with a dull, muted matcha flavour and overly milky drink. This is also one of those places that doesn't let you customize ice level so you're left with an over diluted drink that you can barely taste the matcha flavour. Their cakes aren't any better specifically the matcha roll cake. Tasted blah and has an underwhelming matcha filling. Yes the cake is soft but at the same time tasted gummy and has a dense texture which gives off a floury flavour. Unfriendly, unwelcoming and rude staff who leaves your takeout order on the counter without handing it over directly to you. Definitely will not return back to this place.

They have wifi here but I didn't actually see a password anywhere. There didn't appear to be a washroom either. There are a lot of seasonal drinks right now including a passionfruit series. Unfortunately they had a hand written sign at cash saying they were out of passionfruit! I quickly audibled to another featured series in the grapefruit line. Mine was a grapefruit green tea with star shaped jelly. It was super hard to hear the cashier. I think it was a mixture of it being loud and the plexiglass separating us. They didn't have a mic/speaker though, just a cut out in the window. There is a screen in front that educates you on how to order (ice, sugar, size, topping customizations) so you can follow along that way.

I visited this place a couple of weeks ago, three nights straight, to get a project done. Most of the other patrons were also there to do work or were hanging out quietly.

The owner recommended that I get the regular sugar level; his recommendation was correct. The customer service was courteous and fast (I was their only customer at the time). Sometimes they give out 2-for-1 drinks, and on weekends, they have a combo of Hi Yogurt drink and So Sweet dessert for $9.99. There are 3 tables and counter seating. The tables have electrical outlets beside them. There is wood paneling, giving it an Asian vibe. There is very quiet music playing in the background. The address implies the Chinatown Centre, but the entrance is off Spadina Ave, not inside the mall. There are 3 businesses inside the location. One of them is a Thai Spa. They have a massage chair inside the Hi Yogurt seating area so you can get a quick 5-min massage while waiting for your order! There is free WiFi. The store is not wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-137

They do have really nice indoor decorations and even some chair swings, which I thought was a beautiful touch to the location. Perfect for a casual date or just to grab bubble tea with friends. We were walking within our hotel distance, so I'm not really sure how parking works within this location. Service: The service was quick and efficient.
