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. This guy has a problem with Canadian Natives.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Good bubble tea not far from the waterfront…read more The Longer Version: I stopped by and got a small Brown Sugar Bubble Taro Milk ($6.49). I had initially wanted to get it without added sugar but I was advised that the sugar level of this drink was fixed. Fortunately, I didn't find it too sweet at all. The mashed taro is sweetened and the brown sugar tapioca pearls are sweet, but I don't think they added additional sugar to the milk, so I was a happy camper. The taro is warm, but even with the less ice I ordered, after I mixed up the drink it was sufficiently cold. Service was neutral, but efficient. The lone staff member seemed really disinterested in serving customers. I got my drink rather quickly. Although I noted I was the only customer in the store, lol. White Alley Bubble Tea is the only non-chain bubble tea that was within walking distance from our hotel room, so I really wanted to try it and I'm glad I did. I wasn't like blown away by my drink or anything, but I was happy. Decor is pretty minimalist but they have a few tables and chairs if you want to hang out. (188)

The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy and didn't get all hard because of the coldness of the drink (which sometimes happens at some places). The smoothies are dairy-free, so it wasn't as creamy, but it was blended smooth and tasted good (although a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt in it would have made it better, lol). Service was friendly and efficient. I was tempted by their lobster roll special for $8, maybe next time :) Their Banh Mi looked good too.

The Long Version: ZenQ is a chain, but we don't have any locations where I live (in Ottawa) so since it was close to our hotel and I love bubble tea, I thought that I'd check it out. I saw they were having a BOGO deal on UberEats so I got a regular Peach QQ for $7.49. Since it was BOGO I got 2 for that price. I ordered and then picked up at the restaurant. When I went to pick up, I saw they had daily specials for $3.99 for a regular and $4.99 for a large, and on Saturdays it was the Peach QQ, lol. Had I known I would have just gotten one directly from the store. Oh well, I got 2 and saved $0.50, haha. I got it 30% ice and no sugar. It was still pretty sweet and sufficiently cold. The tapioca were soft and chewy and they didn't get too hard even after I put the second one in the fridge and drank it 4 hours later. The coconut jelly was standard coconut jelly. I did see tiny fragments of peaches but it didn't have cubes of peaches like at some places that I like. Overall it was still good though. Service was courteous. There's indoor seating and this location sells food as well like ramen, waffles and Taiwanese desserts. Ambiance is casual. Street parking only. (176)

They acted daft as if they had never heard of brown sugar jelly. I gave up and just got a classic bubble milk tea with tapioca expecting it to be decent. I mean it is a pretty basic tea. Boy was I WRONG! I had asked for less sweetness, yet the tea tasted like pure sugar. There was an overly sweet milky taste so vile that it made me GAG after one sip. It tasted like something a 2 year old pretending to make bubble tea would make. I was right about something being off, because I felt the next couple of hours feeling extremely nauseous and with an upset stomach. NEVER AGAIN! I would give it -5 stars if possible.
