The hype is real folks. So happy there's a legit boba spot that's opened in Chinatown. What I love the most about Chatime is the drink customization options. There's so many options from the sweetness level to the ice level in your drink. My husband and I personally don't enjoy sugary drinks so to be able to lower the sweetness is great!
We came here on a Wednesday night around 8:30 pm. It was the soft opening and the entire team did an excellent job. Right when we walked in, we were greeted with happy, smiling faces! As we waited in line, we looked at the extensive menu. There's SO MANY OPTIONS!
We choose the strawberry au lait w/ egg custard and a little bit of boba (50% sweetness). It was highly recommended by the owner. It was delectable! The strawberry was refreshing and the boba was soft yet it had the perfect balance of chewiness to it. The egg custard tasted just like the egg tarts you get at dim sum minus the flaky crust. I LOVED IT! I would definitely come back to get it again. If you love sweet drinks, then just up the sweetness level!
The place was clean w/ a modern and spacious decor. There's plenty of tables w/ outlets as well! So you can definitely use this as a new go to spot to meet up w/ friends or co-workers.
I'm definitely coming back here again. I recommend stopping by here before the word gets out! Trust me, there'll be a line out the door soon just like the ones in Toronto once people find out Chatime is here!
Happy Dining,
