| - When I found out there was a chatime FINALLY opening up north in Markham...(well, more north)...I was very happily excited. I am an extreme chatime fan....coco what?
This chatime is opened along with bake code. So instead of the usual purple theme in most chatime places, this store is decorated with wooden walls, wooden displays (for the buns)--I really like it!
I ordered a hot taro milk tea during their buy 1 get 1 free promo. The drink itself was decent but when I compare it to other locations I feel it is missing that "taro" flavour; that "one thing" that takes it to another level (you know??). I also took a sip of the roasted milk tea w/ grass jelly and it was also missing a bit of that intense roasted tea taste that I love. Grass jelly was decent...not too hard nor slimy.
I found the cashier to be quite rude. Now, I know this isn't a fancy restaurant and so I shouldn't expect much service, but when I asked about their BOGO deal and if it was ANY drink (PSA: it's not...and their email did NOT state you're limited to 3 drinks), she was very annoyed and even rolled her eyes at me. Ouch. I never had rudeness problems in other chatime locations.
Lastly, considering this is a chatime + bakecode store...their selection of bread/buns was not very extensive but very exPensive. Also a lot of their displays were empty, though the reason for that may be because they are still new.
Anyways, because of the missing "flavours" of their drinks, rudeness from that one cashier, and lack of selection for a bun store, I didn't think this chatime deserved any more than 3 stars compared to the Warden/Gibson location which still remains my favourite for its consistency. I will be coming back for the love of chatime...but until the lines die down I'll head over to Warden.
