Roughly two weeks ago, on a late Saturday afternoon, I was driving northbound on Victoria Park…read moreAvenue. I was heading over to Sheppard Avenue East, slightly west of Victoria Park Avenue for a takeout pickup and was super early. I tend to get bubble tea twice a week. I needed to know whether there was a bubble tea place on my route? I did a quick search and found this CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice. I was a block away from this CoCo at Parkway Mall. I managed to swing over to the right lane and got myself here. CoCo is across from Gabby's. When driving, it's best to enter where McDonald's is. I parked near a snowbank, steps away from Gabby's. There was is a lot of parking. I then walked over to CoCo through the mall entrance. You go through it and the store is on the right. There was one other customer ahead of me. When it was my turn, I had a cheerful young woman take my order. I got the following items: - Strawberry black tea (no sugar and less ice) with coconut jelly (my usual order at Coco) - Strawberry black tea macchiato (no sugar and less ice) The latter was at a special price on the menu. Staff normally get this drink confused with my regular one. The only difference is really the foamy dairy on top. Sure enough, the other woman preparing my order messed up something. I was thinking that my usual drink order was messed up and got dairy added. Surprisingly, it wasn't. In the strawberry black tea macchiato, coconut jelly was added by accident. The woman who took my order apologized and asked if I wanted the drink. First: Coconut jelly is one of my favourite bubble tea toppings. If you are going to mess up my order, mess it up with something yummy. Second: I needed to contain my excitement getting a free drink that was a blessing in disguise. Free is good! I said yes to the messed up drink. Yay, three drinks! My drinks didn't take too long to make, even with correcting one of them. The woman put all my drinks in a bag. I thanked both of them and walked out with my goodies. The store is spacious and charming. I liked the bubble tea-shaped monitor. There is also free wifi. I got home and had one of my bubble tea drinks. I had the strawberry black tea macchiato. It was my first time having it and it was thoroughly enjoyable. It tasted more like a dessert drink with the creamy dairy. I had the other two drinks the following days. Coconut jelly preserves well a day or more later. You can't get away with tapioca, for instance. My usual strawberry black tea was excellent. It's consistent no matter which CoCo I visit. The coconut jelly has the perfect sweetness that the drink itself does not need sugar. The strawberries also add some sweetness. I had the strawberry black tea macchiato with coconut jelly the following day. Wow! This drink is truly my favourite mistake. It was like sipping dessert in a cup. Delicious! I may need to order this drink again because I'm craving it. This CoCo is a nice addition to Parkway Mall. I hadn't been to this mall in ages. It was nice to get bubble tea here. I'd return for more when I'm in the area. (76)

I'd be open to going back when in the area and wanted something healthy!

It was literally a liquid smoothie in a bowl with i banana chunks in it. I was expecting it kind of frozen and thick with the coconut, nuts and banana on top..,.not with the coconut and nuts blended.

Hoping I make a better choice next time!

This is not like my other RoyalTea experiences sadly. We…read morecame here on Saturday night to get some bubble tea because we didn't want to get anything from Square One. Decided to try this location because it was on our way home. Parking is kind of small, but we managed to find a spot. Came inside and the lady working there had a lot of energy. We ordered our usual, but the hand crushed grape was a new drink, so they checked for the ingredients and made sure they had it, which they did but they didn't have it in their system, so they punched it in as strawberry and said they'd make the grape. We then paid. The girl proceeds to fiddle with the machine for the receipt, but clearly, not the first time this has happened and I guess the guy making the drinks forgot our order and made us strawberry with lemon it. It was extremely bitter unlike any strawberry we've ordered in the past at the other locations.. we didn't want to bother asking him to remake it because we were just tired and wanted to go home. (FYI, we didn't taste it until AFTER we had left the store.) Safe to say we're not coming back to this location at all. At least my lemon one was made right, except the aloe jelly was missing...

Ordering off Uber here is similarly quick/efficient. My go to pearl milk tea at this store has been 100% consistent over multiple years and Coco remains the best bbt I've had, with the strongest tea flavour. I honestly don't go anywhere else because it feels watered down. I avoid the Bristol Rd location after ordering there once and finding the bubble tea weaker in taste than other Coco locations. I recently tried the 3 Guys milk tea (pudding, grass jelly, pearls) and enjoyed it more than I expected to - there's a lot of grass jelly and pudding in the drink so some people might not enjoy the texture of it, but it adds a unique twist to the flavour of the tea. The grass jelly flavour doesn't come through that strongly, so even people who dont like grass jelly might enjoy it. Their monthly specials on their website (also advertised in store) are a good way to work through the menu, but they don't always update the site on time so specials listed are out of date. However, it is great that Coco consistently pushes out new/seasonal drinks to try, often with pretty unique flavours (ex. dragonfruit smoothie/slush). Drinks are also customizable to 30/50/70% , which is nice for people trying to destroy their wallet but stay mindful of their health
