Chatime

It was my first time trying chatime. Just to be safe, I ordered the milk taro bubble tea… There was chunks in my drink that I never had in my drink and taste was unfamiliar to me. I don’t think I’ll ever go back.

As in almost all the places in montreal, it’s very hard to find parking close to this place, inside is tiny, no place to sit or even try to get in there is imposible.
Their drinks are ok, nothing special about it, but if what you are looking for is the Boba in your drink this is the right place.

Perfect to go with friends, alone or with a date! Honestly i go there almost everyday! The staff is so nice and eventually remembers my order because i always take the same haha~ on their 2years aniversary they gave some free drinks and merchandise such as reusable cups wich i use all the time and when i bring it to the store the other custumers are super jealous!

I’ve been to all chatime in Montréal, so far St-​Catherine is the best. Tastefull, good service and I can collect for the stamp: D
My all time favorite «pearl milk tea, 30% ice & sugar»

Really awesome bubble tea! I found out about this place reading MTL blog. Kuddos to them !! They prepare it on the spot and its sealed really well so you dont have to worry about spills in the car or taking it out !! The service was great but one of the girls working there gave me really dirty looks and was not very happy about it. The girl serving me was very patient and sweet but the one preparing was really not friendly. Anyways. Thats why i give it 4stars: p

Great bubble tea place in downtown Sainte Catherine. The drinks are refreshing and you can customize the level of sweetness in your drink.

Chatime is quickly becoming very popular spot for people who indulge in the artful drink called bubble tea or boba tea. For those that are not so sure what this is check out the description on Wikipedia. Bubble Tea for Asians is a kind of dessert refreshment or similar to Starbucks (except this is tea not coffee and most drinks are cold) where people come for their refreshment of choice. I’ve had Chatime in Toronto and I’d concur it’s the most consistently excellent boba you can find at a reasonable price. Also you can customize the level of sugar and ice which is awesome! Selection is huge and you can go for regular size (around 450ml) or large size (700 ml).
On my visit I went for a L Pearl Milk tea 80% sugar 80% ice with bubbles. It was just perfect to my liking. creamy with some nice chewiness of the bubbles.
Lineups here on my visit was not as long as it is in Toronto (where it’s ridiculous) and the place has free wifi and tables for people to lounge and enjoy their BT.
The place is packed with students (my guess Concordia and Mcgill) enjoying their teas. If I lived closer to here I’d here here weekly to every other week.
I noticed they do deliver if you have more than 5 drinks within 3.5KM radius. Pretty cool if you are lazy and/​or having friends over.

Chatime has one of the best bubble teas in North America. I first had their bubble teas in Toronto and immediately loved it.
The good:
— Great tasting and authentic bubble teas.
— Great variety of bubble teas.
— Many ways of customizing your tea, such as choosing warm vs. cold, amount of ice, amount of sugar, etc.
— Reward card gives you a free tea after 9 purchases.
The not-​so-​good:
— The store itself has few seats and is not well decorated or suited for sitting down and enjoying your tea.
— Staff service is average at best.
— Teas are on the pricier side (5 – 7 $).
Bottom line:
I highly recommend this place for bubble tea enthusiasts, although the products are slightly on the pricier side (5 $+). Suggest you order to go as there isn’t much space to sit and chat.
EDIT: Grammar and spelling.

Everything they have are overly sweet, like sugar is free…
And there is always a long long long line-​up.
Don’t understand why people would have their bubble tea here instead of nos the…
