Reviews
Toronto is obsessed
“The brown sugar boba is unreal. Those tiger stripes down the cup are not just for show, it actually tastes like caramel.”
— Priya S.“Finally a matcha that is vivid green and not bitter sludge. You can taste that it is the real ceremonial stuff.”
— Marcus L.“Ordered ahead for pickup and it was capped and waiting when I walked in. Zero line, still ice cold. Perfect.”
— Jenn W.“Pearls are always fresh and warm in the middle. You can tell they actually cook them through the day.”
— Diego R.“Strawberry matcha with cheese foam is my whole personality now. The layers look like a sunset in a cup.”
— Amara O.“Asked for 30 percent sugar oat milk and they nailed it. Staff actually know their menu inside out.”
— Kevin T.“Passionfruit green tea with aloe is so refreshing after a run down Ossington. Not syrupy at all.”
— Sofia B.“Did a 15 drink office order and everything was boxed and labelled at one pickup time. Made me look like a hero.”
— Ryan H.“Tastes like the shops back home in Taipei. That is the highest compliment I can give a boba spot in Toronto.”
— Mei C.“The dirty matcha with espresso is my new morning ritual. Bold, smooth, and it actually keeps me going.”
— Olivia P.“Popping boba on the mango yakult is a texture party. My kids beg to come here every weekend.”
— Noah K.“Clean shop, gorgeous lilac and green fit-out, and the drinks photograph as good as they taste.”
— Hana Y.“Lychee oolong is criminally good. Reserved on my phone from the streetcar and it was ready on arrival.”
— Tariq M.“They dumped a batch of pearls in front of me because it was past time and made a fresh one. That is care.”

We are at 214 Ossington Ave in Toronto, open daily 11am to 10pm. Build your drink in the Order section above, tap Reserve for pickup, and we will have it capped and waiting at the pickup shelf, usually inside 8 minutes.
Yes. Every drink is made to order from 0 percent to 100 percent sugar and light, regular, or no ice. Our matcha bar drinks default to unsweetened so the tea does the talking. Just note it when you reserve.
It is. We import stone-ground Uji matcha from Kyoto and whisk it fresh, never from a pre-sweetened powder. That is why our matcha reads vivid green instead of dull khaki, and why it is naturally sweet without syrup.
Oat milk and coconut milk are always free swaps, and every fruit tea can be built on green or oolong with zero added syrup. Grass jelly and aloe are our favourite low-sugar toppings. Ask and we will steer you.
We cook tapioca in small batches every three hours and toss anything older. If pearls have been sitting past their window we dump them, no exceptions, so your boba is always warm-centred and chewy, never hard or gummy.
Absolutely. For 10 drinks or more, message us a day ahead and we will pre-batch the tea base, box everything in a carrier, and stage a single pickup time so nobody waits. Group boxes get a free topping upgrade.
