10 Best Bubble Tea near St. Catharines

“This place is the best of the 3 bubble tea joints in the west side, the only one with popping pearls, the only one with a homey atmosphere (couch and TV) and a staff deserving of all the praise in the neighbourhood. Yipin Fruit Tea, is for me.“

“I’ve tried a lot of bubble tea places over the years, and The Alley consistently stands out. The drinks taste fresh, the ingredients seem high quality, and the sweetness levels are well balanced instead of being overwhelmingly sugary. Their brown sugar drinks are especially good, with a rich flavor that doesn’t feel artificial. The staff have always been friendly and patient when answering questions, and the store is usually clean and welcoming. While the prices are a little higher than some competitors, the quality makes it worth it. Definitely one of the better bubble tea spots around and a place I keep coming back to.“

“Very noisy in side but the service & the sustenance provided was ideal. A place I'd considered going back to order from.

Edit as of February 2026:
Noise level has substantially lessened
Jazz ambient music 🎶 was amazing
back ground tunes to ease the mind.

Service was still excellent &
my beverage 🧋 was made
exactly how I requested.

Best 🧋 place in the city!“

“I ordered 3 milk teas on Monday night via Uber eats, usually it takes about 15 minutes but tonight it took about 45 minutes to receive the food. But I am happier than ever. I was very surprised to receive the order with this message. I appreciate this service attitude, I like how you left a sweet message. Although I don't know who you are, you are doing a great job and wish you all the best! Besides, the drinks are delicious and will always support CoCo.“

“This place is the best! Food was so fresh and tasty. I had the cold fresh rolls and pineapple Red curry. Will be returning 100%.“

“Great tea, waffles and friendly staff! Always making great changes to their menu. Try out the sweet and savoury crepes, and the high tea. Preparation is maintained by a Niagara College trained chef. Quality of food is great by all staff. Certainly worth visiting more than once.“

“We absolutely loved stopping here for a fresh fruit slush! We added popping boba, which made it even more fun. The kids absolutely loved it, and as parents, we loved that it was an easy (and delicious!) way to get an extra serving of fruit for the day.“
