Lovely little place!
No one cared about me for 20 minutes after I was seated, and there wasn't even a glass of water. Staff attitude is bad.

Lots of option for board game, food, and drinks here. Doesn't charge per person like other board game cafes. Drinks are ok though.

Nice board game cafe at North York Centre. They were primarily a cafe/bbt shop and expanded to board games. Food and drink are above average for a board game cafe and they have a decent collection of board games. Harder to find seating for very large parties (8+). Recommend getting the mango and lychee pitchers to share.

THIS BUBBLE TEA IS OVERRATED - NOT WORTH A STOP IN EVEN IF YOU'RE COMING FROM A LONG WALK ON THE STREET WITH MY POODLE OR POMERANIAN! THE STAFF IS UNFRIENDLY - THEY BARELY REMEMBER MY ORDER AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THEIR "ENGLISH", I'M ALWAYS FORCED INTO AN UPSALE FOR THE LARGEST DRINK THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE AND I'M NEVER ALLOWED TO USE THEIR BATHROOM AND THE "FLAVOURS" AND FRUIT IS TOO ARTIFICIAL - I HAVEN'T HAD FRESH TASTING KIWI, LIME, STRAWBERRY OR HONEYDEW SINCE COVID-19, THE SERVICE HAS GONE DOWNHILL! THE TAPIOCA BALLS ARE STALE AND THEY NEVER GET MY ORDER RIGHT! ALSO THEIR "ADVERTISEMENT" FOR BOARD GAMES LIKE "SNAKES AND LATTES" IS FAULTY - ALL THE PIECES ARE ALWAYS MISSING AND THEY'RE NEVER AVAILABLE! THIS LOCATION'S "FRESH FRUIT AND TEAS" ARE TOO ARTIFICIAL TASTING OVERALL AND I PREFER "FRESH SQUEEZED" OR DAVID'S COLD TEAS!
FOR A POPULAR TEA IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET SERVICE! THUMBS DOWN! JG

I am really concerned with the food safety and quality. After we had brunch there, we experienced really bad diarrhea within half of hour.
Amazing Boba, the service was quick and friendly staff! Definitely a must try..

I went there with friends. It was awesome spot to have bubble tea with friends. Very clean and comfortable space to hang out. They have lots of options for bubble tea. Their waffles and cheese cakes are also amazing with different flavours you can choose. Customer service is very nice, they were very friendly. I will definitely be a regular here.

Customer service is top notch but bubble tea is disgusting, or at least the one I got was! Fresh taro milk tea was just terrible!
We ordered the brown sugar bubble milk, it was terrible! Don't order it. There was milk residue in it, it was tasteless. Also very little boboa. The service was also horrible. We ordered 4 drinks in total. The mango drinks were ok. They use paper straws so it was difficult to poke thru the drink cover, had to make several attempts before it can poke thru but then my drink cover broke and spilled some. We asked if she can help us reseal a new cover on this cup but she said no. Finally after complaining , the barista gave us a lid for the cup. This drink was for my son, since the girl won't help me put another cover on it, my son will definitely pour it all over him when he drinks walking out. Just some criticism for them so they can improve their service.
Really expensive for a tiny amount of fruit and sugar with ice. Paid $14 for one 700ml cup of 5 strawberries and a quarter of a mango blended with ice and water. Seriously, it's a rip off. U can buy 2 packs of organic strawberries and organic mangos for that price. Won't be returning again.
Always a safe bet for Boba. They are the OG boba in the area.
Teashop 168 always has good and consistent service. Bubble tea is always fresh and ice cream with waffles is delish.
Another thing I like is that they have a generous amount of seating available.
You should definitely check them out.
This just happened after I went to see the fireworks on Canada Day 2022 at Mel Lastman Square. There were tons of people leaving and I tripped over a hole on the ground and started bleeding. I went into the closest tea shop which was 168 where tons of people were lining up to buy drinks. My husband asked the Manager to get some bandage for me. Despite of the long line, Crystal the store manager immediately came out and helped me to treat my wound first. I truly appreciate Crystal’s kindness and care for anyone who comes into their store. I bought a Honey Green Tea and it’s the best comfort drink I needed. I would give Crystal and their hard working staff a 10 star review. Keep up your great work Crystal! 👏👍🙏😍💐
