I mean I guess if this was the last BBT place in Mississauga, I still probably won't go. Harsh but true story. This joint is probably one of the better BBT in Mississauga but that's only because all the other places also suck that much more.
I used to go if I was unwilling to drive upton but as of lately, I have no interest in going to BR since discovering Ten Ren and Chatime in Richmond Hill or North York. Plus - they're opening up a Chatime in Mississauga soon. Finally some real competition ;)
Not trying to be mean. Let's be real - have you seen the makeshift kitchen? Take a look and then tell me that fried chicken on rice is still good. The side veggies used to be cooked at the owner's kitchen and just re-heated.
Year ago, they didn't wash the glass cups with soap so I've always gotten a take out cup since. The large is the same amount but the small take out cup is a bit large than the in house small cup.*
They were pretty restrictive with their options. I was more than annoyed when I couldn't get a honey lemon green tea with aloe. Now that I can pay 50 cents extra for aloe, I won't go back haha! I like Pudding black milk tea but I think they changed the cost structure to charge more because it's a "premium" drink that including a topping.
I get BBT is expensive now a days, but no one really needs to charge that much when they pay their employees cash, less than minimum wage and have more than a healthy mark up on their menu.
I can't wait to see the bubble tea competitive market change over the coming months!
Hope this helps
