Decent tea and other beverages although price is a bit high. Their avocado shake, though not strong on the avocado flavor, is actually very refreshing and rich at the same time. Their green milk tea is also very nice with a strong green tea flavour and a tart finish. It would be great if regular size is available across flavours since not everybody can finish their xl size.
Yesterday night I was craving for fruit tea. It was close to midnight so all the shops were closed except for this one. I ordered their signature fruit tea, and it was very delicious. Staff was very nice and prepared my order very fast. A bit pricier than others around but I would definitely recommend this bubble tea shop.
Very cute place! It was my first time here and Maggie was so sweet, kind and helpful!! She answered all my questions and advised me on the best drink: This place only has sizes Large and XL for a reasonable price which I thought was cool! I got the grapefruit yakult with apple jelly Would definitely recommend this place!
If you want the tallest drink you can find, this is your place! The special XL size is for certain drinks only, but the top sellers seem to have them in that HUGE size. Had the mango pomelo with sago and my friend got the pineapple green tea slush. Love the big chunks of pomelo in the drink. Usually more loose pulp from other places, but it did also make it harder to drink at times. I’ve been into sago so this drink was really nice with it, however, I do wish there was a bit more sago. Service was good and did not rush us when making an order. Let us take our time and look through the whole menu. The tastes of the drink were great and you totally get all the flavours coming through. Great job overall and will definitely come back for the XL drinks or even these smaller size drinks with a nice unique shaped cup!

I got their Monday special honey lemon black tea with aloe for $4.99 which was really worth it considering how expensive bbt is nowadays. The only thing was I didn't get to change sugar or ice level/I wasn't asked if I wanted to, which was fine bc both were at good levels for me. My friend's lychee yakult drink came in the cutest bottle but there wasn't really any yakult taste. It was mostly lychee, but it was still good, albeit maybe too sweet even for me. Another friend got the taro snowflake which has these crunchy cereal bits dispersed throughout which I thought was cool, but I wasn't a fan of the artificial taro flavour. There's only one person working there but she made our drinks pretty quickly
Love their bubble teas, friendly staff amazing environment and above all can’t stop having more of their bubble teas every single time I visit their. Fresh fruit flavours are just yummmy :
Ill give this place a 6.5/10. The tapioca taste a bit stale. The pricing is not too bad.
Thought I would try this place known for the extra tall drinks here. I heard they just opened up in Langham Square around Kennedy and Hwy 7 area. The Loaded Mango Pomelo was refreshing. I enjoyed it but I tasted more pomelo than mango flavour. This slush type drink had chunks of fresh pomelo and but missing the fresh chunks of mango as pictured on the menu. This drink was supposed to include sago but since they ran out we replaced it with Grass Jelly. But next time if I had to ….. I recommend replacing a topping with more texture and chewiness like tapioca. I had the sugar level customized at 50% which was good but might want to try it at 75% for a bit more sweetness next time. They offer different drinks and I would give this place another try.

**ACTUAL RATING 4.5** Ba Cha recently opened up in the Langham Square plaza and are having a BOGO promotion until May 31st. We've heard mixed reviews about this place, so we've decided to give it a try ourselves! TLDR: We highly recommend the drinks that we tried! Very refreshing drinks, & the teas that they used were quite fragrant. We've seen some reviews say that the wait time was really long, but fortunately, when we got there, there was no one in line! The staff were quick to take my order and make my drinks. Total wait time from when we ordered to when we got our drinks was ~5mins. What we tried + review: Loaded Mango Pomelo XL $8.99 + tax: - Very refreshing!! & as obvious as this is, make sure you mix the drink well! I didn't do that thoroughly at the start, and the drink tasted meh... We could taste that the mango wasn't fully ripe yet. However, once we mixed it well, all of the different layers complimented each other perfectly! The drink ended up being soooo good. It was perfect in sweetness and creaminess, and we could no longer taste that bit of sourness from the mango slush. We also loved how they added some tea into it as well - it gave it a bit of fragrance. The only thing is that the pomelo chunks were a bit too big and kept getting stuck in the straw - that part was a bit frustrating, but the drink was worth the struggles. All in One Black Milk Tea XL NOTE: Toppings normally include tapioca, grass jelly, red bean, peanut, and pudding, but due to availability and preferences, we had grass jelly & sago instead $6.99 + tax: - We were worried that their milk tea would taste diluted and overly sweet. However, it was actually perfect in sweetness for us, and the drink had a nice tea fragrance! We got less ice and regular sugar as recommended by the staff. Normally, we get 50-75% sugar, so if you normally get 0-30%, you can consider getting less sugar here, but their regular sugar level 100% really wasn't too sweet! Hopefully this stays consistent. If you get the XL sized drinks, know that the straws aren't long enough - they're right at lid level. If you get a slush or have toppings in your drink, this shouldn't be a problem until you reach the last bit of your drink. We also want to note that you may think that these drinks are pretty pricey, but the ones we got were XL! If you look at the prices of their large sized drinks, it's pretty standard compared to many other bubble tea places. Bubble tea in general is just pricey nowadays, period. We'll be back & look forward to trying some of their other drinks!
Friendly service, first time ever seeing XL size in bubble tea and I get this size ever time!! Taro slush has a little kick to it which I love! 100% recommend this place for bubble tea
