| - Location/Service
- Along Bay street, near College intersection. Street parking available, I believe there's also paid parking as well
- Located below one of the condo building. The sign is pretty bright, so it's not hard to miss
- Decor setup is similar to an actual lab, large space with metal tables/chairs, large chalkboard. I also like their paintings on the wall
- Also offer a picture section where you can wear a lab coat
- Staff were pretty friendly and does offer recommendations based on what you selected to make sure you don't overdo your drink
Drink
- I will give props to their concept. You're like an experimental scientist, choosing a syringe/test tube of flavors (interesting ones like Durian, Rose), sugar level (Maple Syrup as an option), petri dish topics (tapioca, aloe vera, etc) and tea base (which I chose Oolong for this drink)
- It's very personalized and they write your name on the bottle, referring you as a "Doctor"
- But the drink itself was mediocre. I think bubble tea in Toronto now has changed more to focus really on the actual tea, its origin and taste - which I do not find it here at all. It's more like regular tea I can buy from the supermarket
- The drink at the end came to around $6.50. Do be careful and not to overload on the flavors/toppings, cause they do add up
Overall this place is okay. It recently opened so there's a lot of waiting (waited for an hour at 8:30pm, and they close at 9pm). If you're creative or feeling adventurous, it's a nice experience - but I'm not sure if it gives that addictive feeling like other chains that would make you want to comeback.
