There's this little bubble tea place I've gotten quite fond of -- Tea Rex. It's my go-to spot after…read moredentist appointments next door at Doncaster Dental Studio (yes, bubble tea after the dentist, I know!). It's conveniently located, with its own entrance outside the main building and directly across from Kungfu Tea.
The thing with Tea Rex is, while it might be a little on the pricey side, the quality of the tea speaks for itself. I usually opt for 25% sugar, which hits that sweet spot perfectly without being overpowering. (At some places, even 25% is quite sweet.)
My favorites? The osmanthus sweet rice green tea latte and the grapefruit yakult green tea, priced around $6 to $7. And I can't resist adding jelly boba - those konjac balls add just the right texture.
Service can be a teansy bit slow, but it's clear they're not cutting corners and really care about what they're serving. The staff are friendly, always up for a quick chat, and the cat-themed decor? Absolutely adorable.
What I especially appreciate is their 11 AM opening time. As someone sensitive to caffeine, the earlier I can get my tea, the better.
Tea Rex is about great tea, a friendly vibe, and a cute setting that makes it a little gem in the area. Definitely worth checking out, even if you're not balancing it out with a dentist visit!
