The Bubble Tea Place

Great stop for a refreshing drink. The tea was mediocre. Not much different than the other places. I like the atmosphere.

Nice interior with wifi. The drinks were just okay. If thirsty and nothing around, sure it’s good to stop by, but wouldn’t ever go out of the way to come here. This place is more for the casual visitor who wants to try unique tea drinks… Not for your regular boba tea drinkers

Bubble tea is all about the tapioca balls. And my god, these balls were perfectly big and chewy. They’ve got an extensive menu of flavours to choose from such as «Sex with a Horny Old Man»…

god this place is life. the edgy décor, the easygoing people, and the inventive drinks are well worth the hunt in chinatown. the unique tastes and great drink combos are definitely one of the best.

Spot on! Great place for bubble tea and just any tea beverage. This is a very down to earth place and super friendly staff! Got a passion fruit bubble tea and it was great! Great interior I find it’s unique compared to some bubble tea places with all white interior and super modern.

This place is cozy and welcoming on a chilly winter day. I love that they have cold and hot bubble teas. The menu is extensive with a huge variety of flavours including the jellies and bubbles. Staff is very friendly.

Maybe 2 ½. MEH.
This is Victoria so not too many bubble tea places to choose from if you are in the mood.
The taste wasn’t memorable… the place was nice, clean and the people were super friendly. Definitely enough flavors to drive you mad trying to decide…
I wouldn’t go out of the way to try it.

Extensive flavor choices, great prices. Definitely stop here after a meal in the neighborhood!

Delicious bubble teas in all kinds of fun flavours. They offer soy milk as an option. I have become accustomed to the fruit smoothly type bubble teas but these were all tea or milk based + not blended. It’s much more classic I suppose. A great little spot if you’re craving boba!

A fun, fresh and slightly alternative place not only offering free wifi but delicious bubble teas. Try their matcha variations, especially the refreshing summer matchas.

It was aiite. Had a «summer matcha drink» which sounded zesty and refreshing on a hot day, but really just tasted like lemonade. Good, but not the bubble tea that I was craving aha. Will get a milk tea next time.
They had really cool handmade bags — bamboo and just $ 5! Bought one to bring home.

Very impressed. Cute, zen and trendy boba shop in the middle of Victoria’s chinatown. Don’t expect authentic boba from Taiwan but do expect great perfectly cooked boba and a variety of jellies to try. They’ve got all the colorful flavors and interesting names to match. Fast and friendly service and free wifi! $ 5 will get you a large with a generous helping of jelly/​boba. Try the nipple twister or the purple flower for a refreshing sweet treat.

Cutest, hippest bubble tea place I’ve been to. Their idea seems good, with lots of interesting flavor combinations and funny names… Unfortunately, that’s where the good part stops. The milk tea is well below average and has a chemical aftertaste. We ordered both with honey and could not taste it whatsoever. The girl behind the counter added more when we told her and it was at least better. The other person in our party got the ‘Dairy Queen’ tea– it tasted like very chemical-​y, chalky bubblegum. Boba are small and chewy. Definitely overpriced for the quality. I’m learning that one big thing to look for with ‘real’ bubble tea places are the shrink wrap tops. If a shop just has the snap on Icee type lids, chances are they’re skimping on ingredients, too.

Delicious milk tea, coffee, and taro boba and jelly drinks. Cute environment inside with friendly staff. Wonderful place to chill with friends and loved ones at Canada’s oldest Chinatown in Victoria.

Good boba tea, but the place is overhyped and somewhat overpriced.
Enjoyed it overall but that’s it.

The bubble tea here was was decent and the ambiance was pleasant. All in all, A-​OK.

Yummy! Been here many times with the kids… Lots of options: flavors, hot/​cold, creamy/​non creamy, tapioca/​jellies, and some great pre-​tested flavor combos. My favorite is a «polar bear» which I believe is coconut, lychee, and vanilla. They also have different flavored jellies, like lychee and coconut (yes, I love anything lychee or coconut flavored).

The «tea» kind of reminded me of a melted milkshake: all milk, no tea flavor. Not terrible really, the lychee jelly tasted good and the milky flavor was pleasant and not too sweet. And the menu is confusing (too many options.) Come for an ok drink, but don’t expect it to be tea.

This is trendy place and has a artificial feel to it but what ever. Cool décor and looks to use cheaper ingredients.
I am a tea snob so I honestly might be over critical. The bubble tea I got was good but def had a Starbucks feel to it. If these started to pop up in chains I wouldn’t be surprised.
I got moon over chai (or something like that) it was tasty but I couldn’t taste the tea at all. I got a double it was big enough for my hubby and I to share.
So if there try it but don’t think you are getting a «real» bubble tea. It is like getting a «real» Chinese dinner from your german mom.

NO.
THIS IS THE WORST bubble tea I have ever tried.
It was EXTREMELY sweet and had a VERY artificial, VERY chemical taste and I stress the word very. I couldn’t even finish half of it. Where are the real ingredients? I’m in the minority considering that everyone else gave ⁴⁄₅ stars. And this place was pretty crowded so I thought it must be the bomb.
If you like drinks like KOOL-​AID, Hi-​C, or FRAPPUCINOS from Starbucks, you’ll love this stuff. If you don’t, forget about it.
PS: I know I’m whining like crazy, I apologize. please forgive me… Everyone else will probably give you five stars. I love the décor of the place. Very very pretty. I like the staff too. They are nice and friendly!
