Strawberry crunch milk tea
Jenn W.

Everything I've tried here is delicious. This is one of my favourite places to go for bubble tea. The service is always good, though lines can sometimes get long when the weather is nice out. The store is very aesthetically pleasing with a large deer on their feature wall, plants, very modern.

TLDR: I love their bubble tea but won't be coming back. Why bother having a storefront if you can't…read morestaff it properly and safely? Twice during the weekday lunch hour I've stopped by Tiger Sugar, stood at the counter and been completely ignored by the staff seated in the office. The first time I was solo, and came in on a Wednesday at around 1:15pm. I could see a man seated in the office looking at a computer as I stood at the counter. I'm short so I yelled "hello?" in case he couldn't see me. After a few minutes of doing this, I gave up because I had to go back to work. He never even looked up. The second time I came in with my spouse, who is tall. We could both plainly see a woman seated in the same spot at the desk computer. This was a Thursday at around 12:45. Again no acknowledgement, no way no notify her other than screaming over the front end music. Once again, limited time on a lunch break, we left empty handed. WTF x 2 to the business owner that there is no front entrance notification: 1) This store is downtown and the majority of your business is going to be office workers, probably around weekday lunchtime. A business owner might want to plan for that if their employees are also going to be taking their break at about this time. 2) If your solo-working employee can't hear people coming in the front entrance, even shouting from the counter, in a part of town with a high population of individuals who are under the influence and have unpredictable behavior, what does that say about safety at work? Is there not even a front door camera with a feed next to the computer monitor in the office? Those employees are sitting ducks. This place is a WCB nightmare waiting to happen! You've lost my business permanently Tiger Sugar.

I've been to a couple of Tiger Sugar's in the past, but I never really found a drink on their menu…read morethat was perfect and not too sweet for me. But from what I ordered recently, I was pretty satisfied and finished up my drink quickly. I ordered the Earl Grey Milk Tea with boba, 25% sweetness and 25% ice. The sweetness level was exactly what I liked in a boba drink. The boba pearls were nice and chewy. I didn't realize that I could get 3 toppings for 99 cents altogether, so next time I would get pudding too. Last time I got the Mango Sago drink at another location and it was just too sweet for me. I should've known because I couldn't adjust the sweetness and drinks tend to be too sweet for me in general. However the Earl Grey Milk Tea was such a great option for me. My boyfriend got the Taro Pudding Milk Tea. It was delicious. He couldn't adjust the sweetness, but I didn't think it was too sweet to enjoy. The taro pudding was delicious. There wasn't much space to sit inside. There was a large group at a seated in the middle, but we managed to get a table to ourselves at the very end. Inside the shop, they only have three tables. Service was quick, wait time wasn't too bad. There is a bathroom inside but it ended up being out of service when we went. Overall, I liked my drink. The menu is pretty extensive and there's a bunch of options to choose from.

I stopped in on a Saturday night 30 minutes from closing because I had a craving for bubble tea and…read morethis was the one closest to where I live. It was quite quiet in the cafe, which was fine with me, as that made for a short and almost non-existent line. It didn't take long for my order to be taken and prepared! I ordered the Wintermelon milk tea with tapioca and everything was as I had expected. It was a little on the sweet side; however, not so sweet that it made the drink undrinkable! The tapioca pearls had the perfect chewiness! I hate when tapioca pearls are hard and you can tell that they were not fresh and had been kept in the fridge. The cafe was clean and had a reasonable amount of seating! It was quiet and would make for a nice place to meet up and catch up with friends. There is also plenty of parking space in the parking lot so parking is never a concern!

I've ordered skip the dishes from here twice now and both times I was really happy with what I got!…read moreUsually I would say there isn't much of a difference between bubble tea places but there certainly is. I'm a bit of a child when it comes to bubble tea and will only order the chunkier ones (smoothies) because I'm just not a huge fan of milk tea. So it goes without saying that this review only covers the smoothies! The first time I ordered an avocado smoothie with tapioca pearls and it was really tasty. The second time I ordered the green apple smoothie with mango jelly which I would HIGHLY highly recommend - it was the best bubble tea I've ever had. Sour and sweet and just really good. Good location with lots of parking and convenient for west end locals who don't want to venture into the mall for a bubble tea! Great place.
