    We visited today after seeing their Instagram ads online and it was a great experience. The service was a bit slow, but it was worth the short wait. We figured that since they are new, they must be working out the kinks, which is totally fine by me. I got the deerioca fever made with soy milk, and my husband got the the crunchy tiramisu milk tea. The drinks were so good. The deerioca is made with a brown sugar boba, which lightly sweetened the drink. It's hard to find dairy free options at bubble tea shops around Niagara, so I really appreciate the dietary accommodations.

    Really nice staffs! I was really indecisive on the drink as there were various great options. They gave me recommendations based on my interests in tastes and was very patient with me. A good amount of tapioca in drink too! Would come again.

    My friends and I have come here quite often ! Try to make it once every other week. Today was my friends birthday and read online we would be able to get her a free drink. Even though we had the wrong idea through some confusion the workers there were kind enough to offer my friend a free drink for her birthday and wish her happy birthday. It definitely made her night. Thank you! Always a great experience when here :)

    Great bubble tea and a very extensive and unique menu compared to your average bubble tea shop! The aesthetic and interior is very nicely done.

    stopped by after having an appointment in the plaza. had no idea it was bubble tea until i went inside. the boba are super delicious. i got matcha with “deerioca.” employee was friendly and knowledgeable. will definitely be returning. they have soy milk if you can’t have regular milk as well!

    I was craving for a boba drink so much. After a long search and found this famous boba place. I decided to order all of their famous drinks on the menu. The drinks are very tasty except for the Boba. How could you possibly go wrong when it’s comes to Boba? It’s absolutely undercooked and very hard to chew. Seriously, no where can compare to other famous boba places. Like Tiger Sugar, Gongcha, or Kungfu tea.

    My favorite brand and am glad they bring it to this area. I don't know it's just me or how, I've been there a couple times and their tapioca always a bit too chewy and hard in the middle, or maybe that's how they prefer to cook it that way?? But it doesn't really bother me, I'm just curious (but too shy to ask them) Always tasty and great customer services Updated : I came back and tapioca much better this time, and drinks delicious as always

    One of the best bubble tea in the Niagara area. Highly recommend their milk tea drinks, fruit teas are good as well but milk teas are where they really excel. Great cafe to hang out in general, lots of sitting space and outlets too.

    Bit pricey but really good stuff. More creative and fancy then most bubble tea stores in this area.

    it tastes not good. High price but smaller size. Don’t waste money here go coco or real fruit.
