168 has been around for a long time and with new and emerging new bbt shops all around the GTA 168 is becoming sub par and their products are just not competitive with the rest.
I have to say 168 bubble tea is by far the worst bubble tea you can get if you are thinking of getting bubble tea. Their quality hasn't changed much since the early 2000... They still use low quality artificial powders for their drinks and taste wise, it's no where comparable to other places.
They are trying to compete with the bigger businesses like Chatime, Coco, Icha tea and Kung-fu tea within the area but there is no comparison to their quality to those bigger chains. One personal experience of mine here is that once I ordered a drink and after a couple of sips, I had pulled some hair in my mouth from the drink I had just drank....
I have NEVER experienced hair in my bubble tea ever at any place I've gotten bbt from except from here... I don't know how it got in there but somehow I picked out some hair from my mouth when I took a sip from the drink... I don't ever plan on going back to 168 as their drinks are poor quality, doesn't taste good and after that disgusting personal experience I can't trust them on a hygienic standard either.
