When Tiger Sugar first opened on Yonge/Carlton, I was excited to go visit as I had heard numerous good reviews about its other locations. I, especially, heard several people recommending that I should try out their black sugar boba milk tea, as it not only looked aesthetically pleasing, but it tasted amazing as well.
Falling under the peer pressure of others, I decided to make the trip to Tiger Sugar on the first day it opened, and I ultimately ventured into a small but very cozy store. The line was big (as was expected, especially as they were kindly offering a buy one, get one free deal), however the employees did an excellent job of serving everyone swiftly to ensure the line kept moving.
I ended up getting the Black sugar boba milk tea to see if the hype lived up to its standard -- and it certainly did. When I first got the drink, I was slightly nervous to drink it as it looked like a work of art. But when I got over my fear and ultimately took the first sip, it tasted very nice. The drink also had several boba's ranging in sizes (medium and regular) which was a pleasant surprise as they tasted delicious.
At the end, one of the employees also kindly offered a coupon, which offered a 50% discount on the next visit on the purchase of a second bubble tea, which means I'll be visiting them very soon to make full use of it! read more
