They offer the same tea recipes like the Formosa Fruit Tea served to the exact same lovely and fruit-forward quality. I also like that this one has seasonal menu items to keep things interesting. 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.

Overall: C // 3 stars…read more Quite bummed to see that a lot of their fresh fruit teas were out of stock, so I opted for the mango green tea and was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of mango and lychee jelly in the drink that actually worked well together to be a tropical refresher. I greatly dislike their packing though as the seal is too strong for their weak paper straws to break, and the cup hides the visibility of the tea.

They made it so quickly. This is a pick up and leave type of place. No seating; no bathroom. Credit card accepted. This is located in Chinatown. It's a small storefront so easily missed.

I saw the menu and it said smoothies...so I went in and asked for one of the ones on the menu. The guy at the counter said that if I did not want milk, they could use oat milk, which was perfect...also at the time of ordering he asked what level sugar I wanted...I said Low...so I went with the 30%. It was nice to be able to customize my smoothie that way. I was very happy and impressed. The strawberry slush was nice, frosty and very cold. It had a nice light strawberry taste and it arrived with a heat seal lid. I would get a smoothie again at this place. I loved the experience.

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.

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.

I'm a self-proclaimed boba connoisseur so I fully expected to enjoy this drink, and I did.

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!
