Review from Olivia M.
2/20/2012
Came here for their Donuts and supposedly their best HK-Style Milk Tea. Nothing special really but was intriqued by the endless lines at the cashier...what are they ordering, any special food that they have and don't know about...IO gazed around the room and noticed a whole array of menu...people having All kinds of Noodles with different toppings...Gee .It's a restaurant!!
I looked up the walls behind the cashier and the Menu was listed there broken down into Tables A, B, C D & E.... Chef's Special Table A...Choose your noodles, Instant, Vermicelli, Egg Noodle, Rice Noodle, Macaroni, Udon & Table B , choose one of the Topping, Beef, Ball, BBQ Sausage, Corn Beef, C, Ham & Egg, Bacon, Preserved Veg w/ Pork. Lettuce...Table D, choice of Pork Chop, Fried Chicken Wings, Curry Fish, Fish & Beef Balls,Table E, everything listed above but with oyster sauce!!! Interesting...All for $5.40 and the All Day Breakfast for $3.71.
They also sell all kinds of scratch cards for different prices...I happen to win $12 .isn't that great....Got back the money spent on the Donut & the Milk Tea....Listed in: Canadian Escapades

***HK-style milk tea review only***
Had driven past this place many times and noticed the banner which stated that they placed FIRST in the North American chapter in 2011, and 3rd in the 2010 competition for the best HK-Style Milk Tea. Anyone harping around with that claim better be able to live up to their reputation as skeptics like me[1] will Yelp their mouths off if the opposite is true!
I've tried it, it is a very 3-dimensional and well-rounded tea. I find a lot of places that serve up a cup of this HK-Style Milk tea are often too 1-dimensional. I have tried it both hot and cold, and because I like bolder flavours, I would opt for the hot version rather than the cold.
It may be the best in North America, but the best cup I've ever had was in Zhu Hai, China!

Review from Jennifer K.

I am not eating donuts or drinking coffee at Marathon Donuts.
Tip: DON'T eat donuts or drink coffee at Marathon donuts.
Come here to try their Hong Kong Style Milk Tea which suppose to be one of the best in Toronto.. ok at least the third best. ($1.50)
Unfortunately the Milk Tea is served in paper cups, where are the mugs? or the special HK Milk Tea thick beam cup??
The Milk Tea itself is really good.. rich, silky, slide right into your throat and have a great body and good ceylon tea taste.
hmmm...... just don't think about the calories since it is made with Coronation Milk.

I think I found my go to place 30+ years from now as this Donut & Coffee shop opens 6 am where it's popular for the Chinese retirement villagers nearby to sip MILK TEA or Coffee while reading Chinese Newspaper and watching HK Morning News on the corner CRT Tv.
This place is now PROUDLY carrying banners and the award of the 2010 3rd Best HK-style Milk Tea within Toronto region. A competition held by the Association of Coffee & Tea. I had the Yuan Yang(Milk Tea/Coffee) and it was quite good. The Yuan Yang came with my breakfast order from the All Day Breakfast, Macaroni in Soup with Ham($3.75) so it's quite a deal.
The setting is actually reminiscent of a North American Donut shop as the owner probably took it over and didn't bother changing the decor but don't come here looking for Donuts or you get your select of 4 or 5 of them in the display.
This place is all about getting inexpensive HK-style Breakfast and Tea Break Specials while getting you daily Cantonese Newspaper at the same time getting your daily LOTTERY ticket from the same counter. You'll see a small Lottery display wall along the counter.Listed in: 4+ ****Stars****, Southern Chinese Food, T
