Sip Tea - Ottawa

I love sip tea for years But the past 2 weeks i keep getting hard stale tapioca in my fresh fruit slushy. Come on guys you are better than this!

You need to try the watermelon cheese and mango cheese. Super

I’ve been going to Sip Tea for years. I believe it’s time I finally wrote them a review! First of all, the place is really small with a nice white design layout but it doesn’t accommodate much space for seating. I’ve always had good customer service from the Merivale location. The two girls whom served me were helpful when I asked them to recommend drinks on the less sweet side. I did notice once I finished my order, their debit machine aggressively prompted me with a tipping option. The regular size bubble tea costed me a little over 8 dollars, which is not worth it in my opinion. Another thing I noticed is the workers appeared to break into laughter immediately after I paid and patiently wait for my drink. I’m not sure what’s so funny about a normal customer ordering a matcha milk tea with cheese foam. Any who, I found the Shizuoka Matcha Milk Tea to be too sweet for my liking despite getting the lowest sugar percentage at 30%. The cheese foam diluted that strong matcha flavour I was looking for.

The tea itself looks great, but the taste doesn 't quite reach the same level. Overall, the tea looks like a 5 and tastes about 3.5. Service is friendly and helpful. The location is quite small, so don 't expect seating, at most about 8 if empty. Sip tea offers a 1 liter option in bucket size, which is the largest size I have seen in the NCR.

The bubble tea is really good here! I loved the crème brûlée. The seating area is quite cute but I wish there was outdoor seating as well. Good experience.
