I completely understand that, with one person working, things get overwhelming easily. When we arrived we just wanted to grab our mobile order, but there was zero eye contact, zero acknowledgement. Because of the time it took to collect our order, which was sitting out, the ice had melted a lot and watered down the flavor. This is not the fault of the overworked staff member. The responsibility falls on the company to not understaff on a summer weekend!

We came back on 2024-12-31 because we received a gift card. We ordered a Chocolate Hazel Delight (large $6.50). We added pearls for +$0.70. It tasted as expected. The customer service was good because there was no one else in the shop. There were 5 small tables and a long counter for standing beside. One table had lots of crumbs on it. The shop was reasonably modern and clean. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. They also sell cakes and cookies (new item) from Bakecode, their sister company. There is free WiFi. The shop is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, but it is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

That is unheard of here in the States. As a boba connoisseur, I was ecstatic when I saw Chicha having a location on the way home to our hotel. I knew the quality of their drinks would be up there, and the fact that there was little wait really sweetened the experience. I ordered the DongDing Oolong Milk Tea with Oat Milk and Boba, light sugar and ice. Their boba here is slightly different from a traditional black tapioca pearl, but it still hits the spot. The tea was well brewed and not too sweet, just how I like my boba. The shop itself was wonderful with its cute aesthetics and the smell of tea filling the air. You could tell there was quality based on that alone. Give them a try if you've yet to experience higher quality boba.

But it's the tapioca that really makes the drink shine with how fresh and bouncy they are. For a tea shop, this place also has really good food. Tried the scones and they were super buttery, very flavourful, and were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside like all great scones. We also got some Filipino meals - the lechon kawali and lumpia super crispy, the bangsilog had a good portion size for the price, and the halo-halo was refreshing. Place is mainly a takeout spot, but there are a couple of small tables to sit 4. Service is friendly. Tea offerings are extensive. Worth a drop-by.

I also added a mixture of jellies in with the drink as well. The drink was lovely and refreshing. The honey mixed into the tea was not overly sweet - just enough for me to enjoy the taste. They also have the Boba Boy bottle that is reusable. You can put your drinks in there. The next time when you visit, bring the bottle with you and get a discount. A win-win for everyone. The staff was friendly and approachable. I like how they will recommend a drink to you. Thanks!! Will be going back to try their other drinks!!

You enter the cafe and are immediately greeted with panels of manga strips on the wall and small tables inviting you to sit and sip. But the real fun is when you walk further into the cafe. The back portion leads to this space which is almost like a mini library, shelves adorned with manga books for you to read at leisure as you sip and eat the afternoon away. This looks like a treat for any manga fan. Stop by of you are one. And if you aren't (like me), it's still a cool place to check out.

I went in on a Sunday morning as there is free street parking until 1pm on Sunday in the city of Toronto. It was a bit sparsely decorated at the time as it was one week after the soft opening of the cafe. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Manga selection. I stuck around to read through a book while enjoying a vanilla latte. I spoke with Jonathan about some ideas to improve the place and he seemed receptive. I look forward to returning during a future Sunday morning to enjoy another volume of Manga.
