Reviews for M Chá Bar in Scarborough, ON
I?ve tried this bbt spot at Vaughan before and thought the drink is good. It is a bit pricey in my opinion but it was well worth... it. For this location you can immediately tell that the interior is well designed in preparation for Covid. There is a glassshield to separate the staff from customers and there was also a sliding door for the drink pick up area. I mainly came to thislocation just because I was in the area and noticed the reopening discount deal. There were three drinks for $1.99 and it?s onlyfor one per customer. There was a crème brûlée Oreo milk tea, green tea with hazelnut popping boba and jelly and a peach milktea one. I got to try all the flavours since I came with my family and they each got it. All the drinks were regular sugar andregular ice. I noticed that regular sugar is not too sweet compared to other bubble tea spots. The crème brûlée milk tea wasa bit challenging to mix, but it was the sweetest drink of the bunch. The green tea with hazelnut popping boba is refreshingand I really enjoyed the popping boba. The peach is also good! It?s what I expected to taste like. It wasn?t as sweet as theother drinks. Honestly you cannot go wrong with any of these three flavours. We also got the taro milkshake to try and you cantaste the coconut milk and the thick taro purée. This drink was not too sweet! Overall I might try m cha bar again! Read more
Let me preface this comment by stating that I usually love to order from M Chá Bar. The drinks are very tasty and there are... good topping options. Usually, the lids are so tight that it?s difficult to take it off even if I want to so it?s fine even ifthey use lids and not vacuum sealed cups. However, the one time I managed to knock over the cup, the entire lid popped off andspilled half its contents over my bed and floor. Upon examination of the cup, I found an obvious defect in the lip of the cupthat prevented it from being closed securely. I understand that it was incredibly busy today with the $2 drink special but thatdoes not excuse the fact that I was given a cup with an ill fitting lid and NOT warned about the fact that it wasn?t securedproperly. Please take steps in the future to either maintain the quality of your brand and give customers proper cups or atleast inform them that it is not properly fitted. In regards to the service of the store itself and the $2 drink special, Ifind that the store did not properly indicate the scope of the offer on the advertisements. It only stated that 3 drinks were onspecial and some restrictions may apply, restrictions not indicated. I went to order all 3 drinks and was told that it was only1 per person which makes sense but should have be clearly written, and 2 of 3 drinks were unavailable. The cashier also seemedunsure about the special and had to keep checking with a coworker. Additionally, the store has put up these incredibly tallplastic screens due to COVID and the workers were masked. It was difficult to hear what they were saying and they seemed to onlyuse their intercom thing sparingly. The workers and the customers could barely hear each other. TLDR; please quality check yourcups, make sure your drink special is fully and concisely laid out and do something about the communication gap between workersand customers Read more
This is one of my favorite boba places. (Read the last paragraph for store update.) Their Matcha Latte with Boba is one of the... best compared with the other places I have tried that have matcha boba. The matcha is well blended, and it does not have agrainy feeling in your mouth. It also does not have an artificial matcha taste. However, with their new menu change this year,they removed that item. For this reason, I am sad and disappointed about that. I assume that it is because sourcing matchapowder is getting more expensive [you can see the photos attached on how it was before (more matcha in early 2021) and after(less matcha in late 2021)]. It was still good though and was my go-to drink. (Regular: $5.49 ; Large: $5.99)(+ $0.50 fortapioca) Nonetheless, I still love their other items such as their Roasted Oolong Milk Tea (R: $4.79 ; L: $5.29) and BrownSugar Milk Tea (R: $5.89 ; L: $6.39). I really enjoy their strong depth of tea flavor compared with the other boba shops. It isvery prominent. Their tapioca is good too - has a nice bounce and is not overly mushy or hard. Their price point is reasonabletoo, regarding the quality explained above. (September 15, 2022.) As an update to this store when I went today, they areclosed. There is a paper on their door that says, "Notice of Termination." I am devastated that this happened, and I do not knowif they are closed forever here, if they are planning to open at another location as a result of this, or something else.Hopefully, it is not too far away and that it is still in Scarborough...this place will be missed. (???????,?) (October 6,2022.) UPDATE: They are back and running at the same location!! Yay!! Read more
M Cha Bar has the BEST mango sago drink (pictured!) It's their #1 most popular drink for good reason! The taro balls just... complete the drink! The vibe of the bbt place is nice and inviting too - it's very spacious and has cute tables and seats to dowork at! Easy to have conversations with friends over a bbt. Can't wait to come back.

The menu is very creative with a lot of good options. Not boring like a typical bubble tea store. I tried 4 different drinks and... all is surprisingly good (normally I can?t try that much until something not good got pick). I tried : Mango Pomelo, tarococonut milkshake, Purple rice yogurt with Peach gum and greenmilk tea with something I can?t spell (ormansthus something). Read more
Absolutely loved all 3 drinks we got. Definitely our new favourite bbtea place! The chestnut bliss, Mango Pamela taro ball and... strawberry Yakut Is just so good ! Super friendly service ! Read more
Love that they have daily specials that change every month. I happed to get the Lemon Hibiscus Tea with Aloe. I got it with 30%... sugar which was actually too low because it was very sour. This may be a matter of personal preference but hopefully staff canbe trained to let customers know which drinks should be paired with more sugar because of the sourness. Location was clean,staff was friendly and efficient. Read more
I went there around 9pm, and there was no customer. I said "hello", but the staff kept ignoring me and doing their stuffs. It... took like 10minutes for her to say hello when we wanted to order. Her attitude was bad tho. Drinks were fine 4?? but so badcustomer service, feel like they did not need customers, lol.... Read more
