GAHH I wish this place existed when I was a student in Montreal!! Nestled right in the Concordia area, this Taiwanese cafe sits conveniently on the corner of st. mathieu and Lincoln.
There were two women working the counter taking orders and making the drinks when I walked in. Since my friend and I had been walking around all day, we wanted to sit down at a table and order a snack. You can certainly order things to go though.
I am Taiwanese and grew up drinking bubble tea. This place offers an incredibly wide selection of teas, mostly freshly made. There is a small selection of powdered flavors, but why would you choose that when you can get the real stuff? Like all tea/beverage stands or shops in Taiwan, you can adjust the sweetness and ice level to your liking. I had the passion fruit tea, half sugar, and less ice which was perfect. The tapioca pearls were also cooked perfectly.
I can't comment on the food since we only ordered their Japanese croquettes which were perhaps a bit under seasoned but still good. I would definitely order it again. If only I still lived in Montreal, I would definitely be a regular!
