| - Wow! I just have to say, the service here is absolutely amazing. The owner is SUPER friendly, and genuine. Her politeness and joy are pretty contagious.
The interior is brilliant and looks very authentic. From what I gathered, the owner is actually from Japan. The store also sells vegan onigiri and Japanese bottled soda.
I had to try the Tokyo Fog, so I got a large, and she informed me that the topping was free! The price came out to around $6, so it's pretty much the same as other bubble teas, if not a little more expensive, but the matcha is hand-whisked in store. The store smells soooo good when she mixes the matcha!
However, the tapioca in my drink wasn't as soft and chewy as I would have liked. It tasted a little bit undercooked, but the drink was pretty good. I think I may try something else that has more matcha in it next time. The matcha in the Tokyo Fog wasn't strong enough for me.
Other than that, I really like this place! Not to mention, there are a lot of opportunities to save money here! For the Vicinity points card, you only have to get 3 points to upsize your drink for free, and if you check in on Yelp, you get $1 off! SCORE. I even got a text after my first visit, saying I could claim a BOGO drink!
I saw a picture on the website where you got BOGO when you came in with Blue Jay's apparel during the World Series. That's so awesome how this place caters to its locals and supports Toronto's culture!
Will definitely come here again!
