    This location is in the basement of the AMC theatre building in Dundas Square.  I ordered a mango milk slushie with tapioca.  This is not the same as a smoothie, which is made with real fruit.  The slushies are made with the bubble tea mix.  

    I'm guessing the smoothies are probably good, because they are made with real fruit, but my slushie was just ok.  It really didn't have a very distinct mango flavour in my opinion.  There were a lot of tapioca pearls though, for those people who really like a lot of them.

    We came back to redeem our last voucher.

    I ordered the Velvet Rush again and again they didn't have it.
    Same for the other energy tea drinks.

    I ended up getting the Raspberry-Blueberry smoothie, while my husband ordered the Berrynana again.
    Kind of a safe bet.

    I won't be back though.
    Bubble Tease has failed to impress me.

    I just got home from ordering a coconut taro bubble tea from here. Terrible! I've been drinking bubble tea on the west coast for almost 10 years and this was the worst ever.

    First, they advertise as "bubble milk tea" and charge $3.49 for a small. Then charge either 50 cents for tapioca or 90 cents for jelly. Um, charging extra for the "bubble" when advertising "bubble tea" is a total scam. It came to over $4 for a small, watery bubble tea. I've paid $1 less for superior tasting and larger size on Vancouver. Don't bother with this place!

    Look how far we've come, Toronto -- bubble tea stands right by a subway entrance. Sure adds a bit of exotique to my commute.

    I know this is a chain and is ridiculed for its lack of charm, but BT actually has the budget to stock frozen fruit and, therefore, provide real fruit smoothies. Since this is something a lot of the mom-and-pop stands lack, it puts it ahead of the bunch. I had the mango-papaya smoothie, without milk, and it was fantastic, even on a cold day.

    Plus, I'm a jelly freak, and not only do they offer a wide range of jelly flavours, including passionfruit (my fave), but they also don't cheap out on it, either. Over a third of my cup was reserved for the jelly goodness, and that made this beverage drinker all assortments of happy.

    Horrible. When I was there (one time was enough of an experience for me), the "fresh" fruit was covered with what i hoped were just water crystals... shriveled up strawberries, among other things.

    This was also the first time I ever got bubbles that would STICK TOGETHER! Clearly an indicator of how long they have been sitting there and not been stirred or anything. Also the consistency was awful... some hard, some very soft... this is definitely some awful bubble tea.

    Taking into account that the price is roughly the same as at Tea 168, this to me is the worst choice when it comes to buying bubble tea on Yonge.

    I've been to this location twice and I quite like it.  My favorite part is simply that they actually mix the fruit (although frozen, yes) together with the ice, rather then putting in a "smoothie mix" when they make the fruit smoothie. There are too many places that don't do that!  I'll also add tapioca, which makes the beverage quite filling.
