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.

The Short Version: Bubble tea kiosk inside this mini food…read morehall in Old Montreal. I was shocked that in this touristy area I was able to score a bubble tea for $3.99. It was good too. The Long Version: I love bubble tea and always endeavour to try new bubble tea places whether at home or on vacation. One Babo was founded in Montreal, QC. I only later learned (after my visit) that it used to be called One More Thé, which was famous for its fat and short cups. I had bubble tea at One More Thé when they had a location in Les Cours Mont-Royal and I enjoyed it. Anyway, the One Babo location I went to no longer uses short fat cups, but just regular cups and they are paper which is the trend these days. Great for the environment, so I support, but less photogenic for sure, lol. The straw was plastic so it pierced the lid easily and I didn't make a mess which I always do with paper straws. I ordered at the ordering kiosk and was surprised to see they had promotional drinks for only $3.99. Well, I was all over that. Haha. I looked at the different varieties and they had a dragon fruit tea with green tea popping boba, which is what I got. I wanted zero sugar and less ice but there wasn't an option to indicate this at the kiosk, but the staff member said I could let her know the modifications and she would make it accordingly. When you say no sugar here, it truly is no sugar! I have found that at most bubble tea shops their base tea is already somewhat sweet so even when I order no sugar, it's still sweet, but not here. The tea was completely unsweetened even a bit bitter. My bad, lol. The popping boba added a splash of sweetness, but in the future, knowing what I know now, I will get a quarter sweet. I still enjoyed the drink and it had a potent tea flavour which I liked. Service was pleasant and the staff pointed out to me that the print on the cup was an Old Montreal landscape since their location is in Old Montreal. What a nice touch. This location is inside a mini food hall called Le Coin Gourmand. Other businesses in the food hall are Hectare Cafe (a Carribean coffee shop), Mel'Oui (a sandwich shop) and Quan An (a Vietnamese restaurant). In addition to bubble tea, they also sell food. I'll need to return to try their food and check out the other businesses (my husband did get a coffee at Hectare Cafe while I was at One Babo, but I want to try their Haitian pastries). Oh and I'll gladly try another drink at One Babo. Hopefully they continue to have some at promotional prices, lol. Review #211 (2025)

What better way to cool down and to cheer up than with a cup of bubble tea. Or better yet, two, lol. I pulled out my UberEats app and searched for bubble tea near me and Theora showed up with a BOGO deal. I'm ok with being a double-fisted drinker, haha. I got a small mango green tea with mango agar jelly for $7.50 BOGO. What a great deal! I got no sugar and 30% ice and it was plenty sweet from the mango juice and jelly. The drink was delicious with a strong mango flavour and I tasted mango pulp. The jelly was chewy and delicious. Service was welcoming and friendly. It was also ready when the app said it was. There's some seating inside the shop. Decor is minimalist. The place is very neat and clean looking. Definitely recommend! Street parking only, although I came by foot. (115)

This spot is so cute as well and totally ig worthy if you're into that - with cute little pink chairs at the front and aesthetic cups! The flavours are so so interesting and unique, you'll never find anything similar. I'd love to give everything (other than original) a try. I'd recommend the milk based ones because they're just so much creamier and more satisfying than the fruity ones! The one with mango and condensed milk is absolute FIRE from the sip I stole. Also they can switch out milks if your tummy is sensitive to dairy, which is what I did. The matcha guava was super interesting and delicious, and the pandan horchata was a show stopper to say the least. (Apparently the miso milk tea is an acquired taste - a bit too savoury... so don't get that unless you're into it!) These run at about $10 a cup so definitely the priciest boba I've ever bought but definitely still a must try!

The exterior building that houses this bakery has seen better days. Even the stairs leading down to the bakery are worn. However, once you step inside, the bakery is modern and beautiful. The cakes are exquisite looking. The coconut mousse cakes look like they are in a coconut shell, but it's all cake. Similarly, the lychee mouse cake looks like it's in a lychee. So cool. I will need to return to try their cakes. I had a yogurt smoothie on my visit. I had the Strawberry Mochi Yogurt ($6.90). The yogurt had a nice tang to it and the mochi was the liquid type that's soft and gooey (not mochi pieces). There was some whipped cream on top and a bit of strawberry syrup. So delicious. Service was courteous. They also sell gelato, bubble tea and other drinks. Super cute place. I need to take my mom here. She would go crazy for their cakes! (118)
