Location/Service This place is Yonge and Sheppard station -…read moreon the ground level with the green commercial/condo building. The entrance faces Yonge St (next to Tim Horton's). Parking is available around the block and underground, very accessible by TTC. Inside is not very big, but I really like the high ceilings that gives off a more spacious look. There are bar stools available for you to sit and enjoy - but it is more of a to go kind of style. Staff were very nice, helped explain what they have on their drinks and orders were quick. Drinks They have a variety of drinks available and ingredients are all sourced from Taiwan. This popular Taiwan chain has a signature touch to it. I would recommend Golden Bubble Milk Tea - it has a very strong flavour to it and the golden bubbles were soft and chewy. They also have a new Yuzu drink series that's either a green tea or black tea based. Both were really good and it has a really good hint of yuzu that compliments well with both tea base. What I also love about this place is their merch - there's a cup sleeve holder that's very fashionable and useful anywhere you go. I love how it's so compact, so very easy to carry around. Nice to see another BBT spot in the neighbourhood - hope to come back next time to try their summer ice cream floats!

They will answer ANY of your questions and give you great recommendations.so dont be afraid to ask if you have any qs. As for drinks, i actually had them in Asia before, and i would say its pretty similar. Their tea base if def different from other bbt store, and the after taste from every sip definitely shows it (which some love but some hate), but i personally think its not bad. Vibe wise, they have no seats, so its more like a buy and go kinda BBT store. I would just recommend them to either have the menu on their wall or the screen, so people can decide what they want beforehand rather than right in front of the cashier. Does get a little like awkward, especially for really indecisive people or "I" peeps like me Overall 4/5! :)

I might or might not. That is to be determined. It depends how badly I will want a bubble tea when in this area but I presume there are other bubble tea shops I can try as well.

Boy, has Presotea outdone themselves in the recent years…read more When I first tried Presotea two or three years ago, it didn't stand out to me among many of its competitors around this neighbourhood. But now, I am pleasantly surprised to find Presotea my favourite milk tea/ bubble tea place in Toronto, mainly because of their amazing new menus. The game changer was the Four Seasons Milk Tea. It was unlike any milk tea I've tasted. Faintly sweet, amazingly fragrant, and heavenly creamy. I can't go back to the normal milk tea after this. The topping is jelly boba, so good as well. Chewy, fruity, and not overhwhelmingly sweet. I ordered this at 50% sweet the second time, but it didn't taste sweet enough so I will keep ordering this tea at normal sugar. For reference, I usually order 25 to 30% sugar at other locations, but the Four Seasons Milk Tea at full sugar was really pleasant for me. Today I was going back for the four seasons milk tea, but they seemed to have a new Salted Foam Genmaicha Milk Tea. I felt adventurous and went for that, and I am so happy with my choice. Upon my first sip, my mouth was filled with the wholesome fragrance of Genmaicha (roasted rice tea) and it tasted so legit!! The fragrance is different from the Four Seasons and Earl Grey that it's more wheaty and wholebodied. The fragrance of the roasted grains and the creaminess of the milk was like heaven in my mouth. I ordered at 100% sugar, and next time I feel like I would enjoy 80% sweetness (I only like faintly sweet), but I think if you generally enjoy sweet drinks, you should go for 100. At 100%, it was not overwhelmingly sweet or anything, but slightly sweeter than Four Seasons. The foam was a little bit too salty though. They have a deal for 2 teas for 8.99 right now with four flavours, and one of them is Genmaicha milk tea with white tapioca. I will definitely try that out! The only fault is they open from 12 pm on weekends.... I want to have them for breakfast lol. Also, I feel like it's pricier than competitors, but their tea is fragrant and flavourful. Also their regular size is HUGE it's like a large at other locations, so price makes sense. Other reviews mention this place is sweeter than other bubble tea places but I think it's the opposite... I order 25 to 30% sugar at other locations but this place I'm ordering normal sugar. Guess depends on your teas. Other drinks I tried before I met my soulmateas (the two above): Earl grey and panda milk tea - it's alright, but didn't stand out. The regular tapioca and grass jelly can't compare to my other favorites in town.

They also have coffee gear as well as a small pantry of items for purchase as well. I've been to Ezra's Pound several times throughout the years where I've found that their coffee is consistently good. I recently stopped by Ezra's Pound again to grab a coffee. Service was friendly and I had my cortado there. The space is casual and chill with their black and white tiled floors and wooden tables. I ordered at the counter and was tempted to grab a pastry but decided against it. I also noticed that they had sandwiches you can purchase as well for lunch. After ordering at the counter staff were nice enough to bring my drink to me. My cortado was made well with latte art as well. Overall, a great neighbourhood spot for coffee, tea, pastries, or lunch. The cool casual interior make you want to stay and enjoy the vibes of the space. Definitely do check this coffee shop out for great coffee if you are around the area!
