It's delicious!…read more After having a not-so-stellar Yelp experience at Ramin Isshin, I left the eatery with fellow Yelper friend, Jason. I felt like getting a drink. I noticed this Chicha San Chen and wanted to check it out. Jason joined me to work off some of the ramen that he had devoured. I've been to the Chicha San Chen at CF Markville. This store is at least twice as big as that location. There were plenty of places to sit down and enjoy your tea. I had a couple of fruity sparkling drinks at the CF Markville place. I was going to ask the man behind the counter if he had them. Instead, he said that he'd be back and I could look at the menu. It was delivered in a not-now-I'm-busy tone. It was odd. It's the only reason why this place doesn't get five stars. I'm so glad that Jason was with me. He said that the woman at CF Markville suggested that he get the high mountain pouchong tea with lemon juice and konjac. I decided to go with this drink. I got this drink with less sugar and less ice. I paid with my debit card on my phone. I tapped and was done. It didn't take much time for this drink to be made. It was nice chatting up a storm with Jason as we waited. The moment of truth was here. My drink was ready. I took a sip. It was awesome! The foam tasted like lemon meringue. The tea was perfect with the lemon juice. The konjac was chewy. I haven't had konjac since I visited Song Tea eons ago (rest in bubble tea peace). I wish that this drink came in a larger size. I drank it too fast... haha! I had a great experience with my friend's recommendation. I like that there's lot of parking in this plaza. I'd return again for more good bubble tea. Maybe staff will be more cheerful then. (437)

Ok HELLO?? The aesthetic is so zen and charming inside!! I swear Taiwanese tea shops are so calming…read moreand peaceful. And the place is so fragrant with the natural aroma of tea. While we were waiting for our drinks we sat at this really cute window nook and just took in the peacefulness. The server was very helpful with tea selections and knew which teas paired with what flavours. I got the non caffeinated tea (picture) with honey, no sugar, with grassy, and no ice. My wife had a mango tea with foam. Our drinks were perfect. I love that it was zero fuss. Surprisingly not very busy but we did just have a killer snowstorm. I'm definitely coming back here more often.

I really enjoyed the mango pomelo and taro ball drink, but the strawberries were a bit sour. I…read morethink it would have been much better if it were strawberry season and the fruit was sweeter. I also tried the mango oat matcha, which was good for what it is, but it wasn't anything particularly memorable or out of the ordinary. The service was pretty quick which is always good. Overall, it was a decent experience. I'd come back to try some of their other drinks if I'm in the area.

I ordered no ice 70% sweet but it tastes like 30%, super water down. There's tea flavor but the tapioca wasn't nice. They are those that have a mushy outer layer as if they were overcooked or sit there for too long. Since it's right on yonge street along the narrowest stretch the parking situation is also challenging. I probably won't go again.

The mango chunks were good & flavourful (they were varied in texture & taste, so they were real fruit cut onsite) but the dragonfruit was relatively disintegrated. The mango flavour improved with time as the tea soaked & the ratio of mango chunks to tea increased. The cut lime had a nice edge.

The sugar and ice level requests are seen in the photos. Pro: Drinks were made quickly Con: - the staff that took my order was impatient. I made one order and she quickly asked, "is that it?". - the jade jasmine milk tea was was supposed to come with sago. She told me that it was discontinued. When I asled her what other toppings there are - she impatiently said, it's right there (sign on the plexi glass) or up there (pointing to the electronic menu) - jasmine jade milk tea: 30% sugar tasted like no sugar, might as well have ordered 0% sugar - pearls: really hard for both drinks - we politely asked for a bag when we got our drinks. She looked annoyed, pointed at the sign and said "it's 15 cents!" Overall: 1/5 - Disappointing. I have had much better service at all of the other Chatimes I have been to. definitely will not be returning to this location.

I received a text message from TP (Taiwan Professional) Tea for a free regular drink to celebrate…read moremy birthday. It was sent to me at the end of June, a few days before my actual birthday. Cool! I headed over to this TP Tea location in Vaughan. It's in a plaza near Vaughan Mills, with CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice a couple of stores down from this bubble tea joint. Got to love competition! The plaza was busy on a Saturday afternoon. I found a parking spot steps away from this store and backed into it. I walked in. I was the only customer. I saw tiramisu cakes that piqued my interest. I had wanted a fruit tea. There were two men behind the counter. One of them let me know that I could only get a regular drink. All fruit teas were large. Bummer. The regular teas were primarily milk-based. TP Tea doesn't have milk alternatives. I didn't feel like a milky drink. Instead, it was slim pickings with three teas that I could choose from. I got a signature black tea. No sugar and less ice. This regular-sized drink would have been just under $7. I was pleased that I was getting it for free. It took no time for them to make my drink. Their cups aren't transparent, but are sturdy. I thanked both men and headed out with my cold drink. The tea was excellent. It had the perfect strength. The black tea was yummy and made my day. I will return for fruit teas next time. I like large fruit teas a lot more. (251)

This location is in a very large center in Vaughan for food and shopping. There's at least 3 other milk tea places next door. It's walkable from Vaughan Mills indoor mall and nearby hotels like the Aloft Vaughan Mills.

I really liked how the menu was really clear on what drinks included tapioca and which ones didn't. Creme Brulee: The drink was made so quickly. I was very surprised by how quick and prompt the staff were. Also, it was kind to remind customers to shake the drink, especially for drinks that have stuff that settled more at the bottom. The regular size is a typical size portion you would get at other places. Generous tapioca portions and delicious drinks. Overall, Toco Tea is a great spot to chill with friends or solo to do some work. I would definitely come back again to try out other drinks when I'm in the Vaughan area again.

A new and refreshing poke place! If you love Poke, this…read moreplace is a perfect mix of traditional poke and sushi. The protein variety is pretty good here and it's fun to build your own and choose your favs. The first time we tried it, we got the classic Salmon and shared it because we already had eaten dinner prior to that. It was super spicy (like kimchi spicy but minus the sour flavor)... So we drank SO much water. The second time, we decided to get more tame sauces and could actually taste all the delicious flavors of the poke. The owner is super nice. It's fairly quiet inside the restaurant and doesn't have any smell to it. The bubble tea was pretty good too! I got the classic lemonade which was basically fizzy lemonade. The tapioca was similar to Chatime in flavor, so I say pretty good!! Overall, definitely coming back!

The drinks from the Bambū side are a bit on the pricier side, but they're packed with flavor. We…read morewent for two large drinks, and one was practically a dessert in itself. The Mangonada was refreshing, tangy, and had a bit of heat, while the tamarind candy straw added a chewy surprise between sips. The Halo Halo was topped with creamy ube ice cream, which melted nicely into the drink as you mixed it in. It was a little tricky to mix at first since it was filled to the brim, but the combination of textures, sweetness, and nuttiness was fantastic without ever feeling overwhelming. Having the option to enjoy Bambū's unique drinks makes this location stand out. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and didn't leave a single crumb behind!

It has all the classic ingredients, but it doesn't seem like the authentic Vietnamese dessert. However, it still tasted good and I enjoyed it.
