I haven't been here in the longest time and the last time I was here it was a pretty quiet bubble tea place with a decent range of flavours and only food option of waffles. You would just order and sit yourself.
This recent time, I made a visit with a friend and it was pretty busy. Now they even have a server for people that are dining in. So, we were seated pretty quickly and my friend decided to try their daily special- Assam milk tea. I opted for the roasted milk tea as my friend said it was her favourite drink at the Toronto location.
We also ordered a red velvet cake to share. They actually had more dessert options and snack options (takoyaki, nachos etc) to choose from in comparison to before. Even the one in Toronto did not have food items.
I liked the red velvet, it was what you would imagine.. Moist with yummy cream cheese icing. On the other hand, the drinks were nothing special. I didn't particularly like the roasted milk tea since the flavor wasn't as strong as expected..chatime is definitely a lot better. My friend didn't find her Assam milk tea particularly special either..good thing it was the special of the day so it was a good deal (large bbt at $2.99).
Some thing I wanted to mention is that you can substitute the milk with soy or lactose-free milk, which is something other places don't have.
I will be back with friends to hang out since they have comfy sofas and pretty decent snack menu...not so much for the bubble tea though.
