XOXO tea The hardest thing was finding parking for me This place is a gem Although the decor is nice , I wouldn't make this mistake again If you can't find parking. You should Uber eats Or find parking on the side of street, on emergency The customer service was a bit unprofessional Earbuds in, but it was forgetting the order for me though We ordered 6 drinks in total but received 4 Thats why we felt ignored But you have to get their lemongrass orange tea Add in some topping and that will always be the best one for me! read more

I really enjoyed my Matcha Macchiato with Flan Cake. The flavor was good and not too sweet, and the flan was a nice texture. The space is small but there's seating along the wall and stools at the window. read more

XOXO Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The all you can drink factor (how many bubble tea places do you know offer this?) drew me and my friends in. It was still relatively new when we went and looking at Vietnamese names on Google Reviews we joked that it was all their friends and family. A few things to clarify: it was all you can drink for 30 minutes as indicated on the time of your receipt and toppings were limited to what you paid for. I think I got 10 toppings so for my first drink it was filled to the brim! I was very impressed by the fish shaped lychee jelly. In 30 minutes you can maybe suck down one, then get a refill of a different tea to bring home, I think this was around $15 so basically the cost of 2 bubble teas. There is very minimal seating inside and got crowded so not the most enjoyable experience. read more

XOXO Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here twice. First time was soon after they just opened. It was unlimited topping refill but now it's changed to unlimited milktea/fruit tea refill. On your initial purchase you can get unlimited toppings but they're small scoops because they fill 80% of the cup with ice. If there's a specific toppings that you like, I recommend to ask for two scoops before they put ice in it. The concept is good however, you only have 30mins (from the time of payment) to finish your first drink so that you can refill it. Within the 30 mins we were able to refill it only once because they took about 10 minutes to make the first drink. So we only had about 20 mins.. which isn't a lot of time. I wish they started the 30 mins once we get the first drink. read more

XOXO Tea - Large drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a new bubble tea shop, opened 2023-02-28, with a new concept: "all you can drink". What is the catch? You get the drink base only once, and you can pay for unlimited topping refill within a 30-min period (if you remain within the store). The problem comes in the evening when the lineup is long, so good luck trying to get a refill more than once. I asked why it is considered "all you can drink" when it is only the toppings that are unlimited. They explained that the concept is similar to unlimited hotpot where the soup base is given once, but you can have unlimited ingredients. The concept is not identical because you can easily eat the cooked ingredients without drinking the soup base; plus they can add hot water to the soup base. At XOXO, if you drink 50% of the drink base, it is gone, but you have more room to add toppings if you love the toppings (some people do). Service was helpful and good. There are currently 71 different toppings (Mar 2023). There is a set of toppings that are made in-house. There is a set of 25 premium toppings, with refill limitations (see below). These are documented in the order menu they give to you. Some of the toppings are actual fresh fruit slices like strawberry, apple, orange, peach, and lychee. The restaurant is a fusion of Vietnamese and Taiwanese. The pink colour scheme is Korean. The Vietnamese toppings are the homemade flan, panna cotta, and jello. Their homemade toppings are considered premium toppings. All the toppings are displayed in containers. Most are sorted by colour making is quite a colourful display. I'm going to explain the rules and how to get your money's worth. The steps are documented in the order menu. Step 1: Pick your cup size. It is $5.99 for a 21 oz cup and $6.99 for a 32 oz cup (I would choose the larger cup - but you will ruin any diet you might be on!). The large is definitely large! Step 2: Each topping costs $1.00. However, you can choose to pay $3.99 if you want 4+ toppings and/or want the unlimited toppings option. Step 3: Pick a tea/milk/Yakult drink base. Step 4: Choose your toppings, measured by scoops. It is recommended to have up to 7 scoops for the regular cup and 9 scoops for the large cup; your choice, of course. You can have as many scoops of any toppings, except you can have a maximum of 1 scoop of each of the 25 premium toppings; this means once you choose a particular premium topping, you cannot have it again in the 30-min period, but there are 25 to try! Step 5: Choose a foam topping; you can choose from any of 3 foam toppings or choose no toppings. Notice that you don't get to choose the sugar level or ice level. I noticed that all the drink bases are in large containers, and no additional sugar is added, implying you can't reduce the sugar level. I ordered a large cup ($6.99), all you can drink option ($3.99), with the XOXO Milk Tea as the drink base. In my initial round, I got the following 5 toppings: Taro Panna Cotta, Flan, Seedless Lychee, Brown Sugar Agar, and Strawberry Popping. After drinking 20% of the drink base and some of the toppings, I ordered the following toppings: Coffee Panna Cotta, Lychee Jello, Sakura Jelly Boba, and Mango Popping. I could have chosen less sweet toppings to balance out the sweet toppings, but I was like a kid in a candy store! I wanted to have different colours and toppings that I've never had before. Unfortunately the Cream Cheese Foam covers up the colours! Failed! My wife found the drink too sweet. More for me! I found each topping was good on its own. Now, about optimizing. If you really want a lot of toppings and multiple refills, then drink a small portion of the drink base like 20%-30%, then request more toppings. If there is a long lineup, then drink while lining up. It is best to go when there are fewer people, also because of limited seating (you might lose your seat while lining up!). There is indoor seating for about 8-10 on chairs at the table seating, and 3 on stolls at the counter seating. There is mid-volume pop music playing in the background. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom downstairs, so it is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid street parking. Review 2023-055 read more

When i came across this place. I was super excited because i love drinking boba. However, i didnt get the chance to do the all you can drink. The boba i got was super good, it is very limited. But if u go for the all you can drink it is cheaper to go that route for more toppings. I love my popping boba and jelly . It was super good. For service: the only situation was their internet kept dying and we had to go take out money. Their milk and fruit tea is good. The only problem i am having with every boba is it is so lemony, more lemon taste/ sour flavor then a fruit tea flavor. The ambiance was good. Very slow or very fast. Depending on the day, it was a pretty ok moving day for the workers. read more

Heard about the all you can drink concept and saw there was lot of conflicting information online between different reviews, so decided to visit the place. They provide an order sheet where you can choose to do a la carte or all you can drink. The difference here is with a la carte, you pay $1 per topping, whereas with all you can drink, you can pick any toppings you want, and on top of that, for the next 30 minutes based on the timestamp shown on the receipt, you can go back and get drink refills. Refills, at the time of writing, means just going to to the counter and showing your receipt and requesting a refill on liquid. It doesn't have to be the same drink either: if you got a milk tea in the beginning, you can opt to get some fruit tea second, and if you still have time, you can try a cup of milk. You don't get topping refills, so some sort of planning will be required on your part if you must have toppings to go with your drink. I found that there's no sugar customization on the sheet, so it's quite sweet. They don't have ice customization on the sheet either so unless you can find who's making the drink to ask no ice, you'll get a lot of ice. An interesting concept. read more

Came here on a late weekday. The drinks took a bit of a while to make but I understand since it was only one person working. The interior is okay, the benches are hard and honestly it was a bit dirty. I ordered the matcha milk tea with taro tapioca since they didn't have taro panna cotta. The matcha is good- it's got a strong green tea taste rather than matcha though. The taro tapioca is quite good. I also ordered the pearl taro milk tea and that was mediocre. The flavour was lackluster and the pearls were kind of hard. For 3 drinks, it came out to about $24. read more

If you're a first timer, you're gonna want to do the unlimited refills (TRUST ME)! I made the mistake of thinking I'd be content with just one small cup... then I wanted more. I ordered the Brown Rice Milk Tea with no toppings or additives. It was YUMMY! Also, the staff here are super kind, accommodating and pleasant! I had such a great experience, would love to go back and highly recommend this place! read more

XOXO Tea - Brown Rice Milk Tea (No toppings) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The customer service is good. They are very attentive and will answer your questions. We didn't have to wait too long to be served. In terms of the flavor, we tried two different flavours and they were delicious. The one thing that I didn't like was that they promoted the business as "all you can drink" and we paid $10 per drink and then we were told that we can only have one refill and we can only have that refill within 30 minutes. I understand the 30 minutes part but I mean one refill, that is ridiculous and misleading. so for anyone visiting this place just keep that in mind. Also, they do not take American Express which is irritating because American Express promotes small businesses. I guess this place isn't getting promoted by American Express. read more

Excellent selection of teas and toppings! Great prices as well. An absolute must try!

Good boba tea. If you do the all you care to enjoy be prepared, it's a lot of boba tea. Definitely more then I could handle. So many toppings, which is awesome and overwhelming at the same time. read more

The boba here is very refreshing - I got the brown sugar milk tea with grass jelly and it is perfectly steeped. Not bitter at all! And unsweetened so the brown sugar adds the perfect level of sweetness without causing a sugar high and thus no sugar crash! My partner got the roasted rice milk tea, which made him love milk tea (both good for our relationship and making the day a good one)!! Highly recommend! Thank you XOXO (they also play great music) read more

worst .bad experience with the staff. Food quality is so so but the beheavior of the staffs are rude. Its jot recommended . They should learn how to beheave well. Otherwise the manager should kicked off the staff who beheaves rude with customer read more

you're not strong enough. i know you THINK you're strong enough. you look at the menu, at the bright flashing "all you can drink" sign and you think, i could do that. i could get enough refills to defeat the man. i could cost THEM money, instead of making a poor financial decision. you're wrong. you cannot defeat the man. i think this stomach ache will last until september. the drinks and toppings are all tasty but trying to chug them will ruin everything. get a normal drink. pretty cute store. there are pillows to collapse on when your stomach starts a revolution against your poor decision making skills. 8/10 (the recommended scoops for a regular is 7, and i got 8, but it was only about a quarter of the cup. so if you REALLY want to go crazy, keep that in mind.) read more

Giving this place a star for the quality of the toppings but that ends there. Very disappointed in the way this tea shop conducts business with their false advertising. They do not take ownership of their mistakes nor do they fully embrace their all you can drink business model. On June 3rd, the menu display described the all you can drink option as an extra $3.99 on top of the size of the drink which gives you 30 minutes of unlimited toppings and free drink and topping refill. We decided to order toppings in moderation so that we could try different toppings for our refill. Upon asking for a refill, the barista told us that it only included a tea refill. When we mentioned that the menu listed toppings, she responded by saying that the menu display was inaccurate and that it was only for their grand opening. She wouldn't honour the mistake and had the manager change the display immediately . After some time explaining to her that had we known this rule we would've ordered more toppings on our first order. The manager decided to "honour" their mistake and allowed us only half a refill of tea and only 3 toppings. When we went back for a third refill only requesting tea, it was extremely noticeable that the barista and manager was not enthusiastic about our request and decided to add more ice than tea to our cup. What's the point of doing all you can drink if it's so obvious you can't sustain it financially nor want to honour it when a customer actually decides to do it? Very embarrassing. Do better guys. read more
