| - I fancy myself a bubble tea connoisseur (I drink it from at least 3 different places, at least 6 times a week...this is pretty embarrassing to admit), and Easy Drink Easy Go just hits the spot! This place just opened a few months ago, and if you blink you might miss it (it's located conveniently next to the 'Metro' at Bridlewood Mall) and they certainly don't advertise enough, but it's a hidden gem in Scarborough for bubble tea, and is absolutely DELICIOUS.
The Good: Great, friendly service in a convenient location (right at the corner by Bridlewood Mall). After being here the first three times, the lovely staff behind the counter had already memorized my order. I come here pretty often now just to buckle down and study - it's great because it's a calmer ambiance, but it still has board games, too. The bubble tea and tapioca quality is great and is served in a surprisingly sturdy cup - we're talking, like double the strength of a Cha Time cup, but still recyclable. Double win. I've tried a variety of their drinks and have never been disappointed - from the original milk teas to the slushes, smoothies, and sodas, everything is just delightful.
Try:
-Their original milk tea bubble tea (I like mine with tapioca/coffee jelly.) The quality is really good and refreshing
-Their hokkaido milk tea
-Their passionfruit slush
-Their passion fruit or strawberry soda with jelly! * (This is my brother's favourite and I don't think you can get anything quite like it anywhere else!)
The Bad: Very late in the evening, about an hour before closing, they sometimes run out of tapioca. This hasn't happened recently, though, so hopefully they've fixed it!
The Ugly: Nothing. Love Easy Drink, Easy Go. Definitely easy, and I hope it's here to stay (because, as a customer, I definitely will be!)
Bottom line: Try this place out. Whether you're a fan of Coco's or Cha Time, you'll dig the bubble tea here. I love the home-y feel to it and the fact that it's made with 'love' (is that cheesy to say? Cha Time just feels like a crazy bubbletea making machine...Easy Drink does a better job, I'd say, quality-wise). It's also a great study spot or a place to bring your friends - they open regularly and stay open pretty late (until 11), and is one of the few places where you and a group of friends can find good seating without having to wait!
