Probably the only place in Trois-Rivières to buy bubble tea (which actually serves tapioca…read morepearls)!!! I was very excited to try this bubble tea shop out, but I knew not to expect too much. They actually have quite a bit of selection, and it is sold at $5 for a 18oz cup, and $6 for a 24oz cup (with an extra $1 for tapioca/popping bubbles). There are also many different kinds of milk for substitution if you need!
I ordered the Iced Matcha Latte with tapioca pearls. The barista quickly made it in front of us, and he was very effiicent. I found it really cool how he had used a mason jars as a shaker to shake the matcha and milk together (he shook it by hand too!). He scooped the tapioca pearls from a little plastic container (in which I had a feeling that the tapioca would probably not have been too fresh!), and had assembled it all into my little cup
I found that there was no matcha taste in my bubble tea, and it was also not sweetened, so I should have asked for it to be sweeted (which I believe, I would have been charged another fee). I was surprisingly amazed that the tapioca didn't taste too bad! You could definitely tell that the pearls are not fresh, but it was still sweet and chewy. I think that if i got another flavour, I might have enjoyed it a little bit more :) And, I think that if I visited Urbanithé earlier in the day, I possibly could have enjoyed some fresh pearls! However, I found the price point a little expensive- I had paid $6+ for a milky and tasteless bubble tea.
My friend had gotten a preset drink, and hers was sweetened, and it was actually quite enjoyable. I think that if I had picked a preset drink choice, I might have had a better experience. Nonetheless, I am still very happy to see that this asian drink can still be found in a very francophone area!
They also have sandwiches and a wide variety of tea selection (which are laid out very similar to David's Tea).
