SNOW TEA 漫雪の茶 Bakery & Dessert — Attraction in Toronto

As a disclaimer, I'll start this review by mentioning that I came to Snow Tea today because I won a giveaway via Instagram that included four breads, four cakes, and four drinks (i.e. four sets, for myself and three friends). However, this review does reflect my honest opinion and is in no way biased because it was free.

The three friends I brought with me were my family! I thought the four of us could enjoy this unique experience together as I've never really attended a "tasting" and this place was new to all of us. We walked into the shop around 12 pm, right when they opened. We were the first ones it seemed. The employee came to the register immediately, ready to take our order. Both of the employees working were quite soft-spoken, but despite knowing that I was here for "free food", they didn't treat me any differently. The staff were very patient and friendly, ensuring we had a great experience.

We ended up ordering the following: BREAD Spicy crawfish bread Cranberry cheese bread Original milkshake bread Extreme chocolate bread (take-out) DRINKS Extreme mixed fruits Rose oolong cheese Matcha Bobo tea Oreo Bobo tea CAKES Black sesame Chocolate hazelnut (take-out) Oreo crepe (take-out) Strawberry cassida crepe (take-out)

As mentioned, we had quite a few items for takeout as the four of us were unable to finish everything! They packed things up nicely for us without hesitation.

Speaking about the bread first, I was pleasantly surprised! The spicy crayfish bread had quite a bit of heat to it and reminded me of curry beef buns. Not to mention, I love the presentation! The cranberry cheese bread was better than expected, loved the cream cheese! The original milk bread wasn't my all time favorite, but it was so soft since we got it freshly baked.

All the drinks were delicious! The highlight was that we didn't ask for sugar adjustments, yet they were perfectly sweet, unlike other boba shops that add loads of sugars in their drinks. This meant that we could taste all the flavors of their tea bases.

Lastly, the black sesame crepe cake, something I would return for! The flavor was oh-so-rich in black sesame while being not too sweet.

Overall, Snow Tea serves up elevated food and drink items. Slightly on the pricier side but you do get what you pay for. They use fresh and premium ingredients, the shop is super aesthetic, and staff are very nice and knowledgeable about their products.

I found an unidentified hair-like object in a mille crepe cake from Snow Tea. I posted about it on Rednote and tagged the store, but received no response for two days. On the third day, I visited the store in person and hoped to speak with the owner for an apology and refund. The staff told me the manager was “on vacation” and completely unreachable. She asked me to leave my name and phone number and told me someone would get back to me within “a week”.

It’s now been over a week. No one has contacted me. No apology. No explanation. Nothing.

This is absolutely disgusting. Not only is there a serious food hygiene issue, but the store’s lack of responsibility and customer service is appalling. I have reported this incident to Toronto Public Health.

I strongly advise everyone to think twice before coming here. Poor hygiene, poor service, and completely unprofessional behavior. Worst...

Have been wanting to go to snow tea for so long and finally got the chance! when you walk in, it feels so nice and the interior finish is very well done. Love the granite wall with the gold design! The dirty drinks were very nicely done and the detail was really nice. The cakes, wow! The mille crepe cakes were super tall and you could make out the layers so distinctly. But my choice has to be the cheese milk bread. The bread was really soft and the cream in the bun itself, super tasty. You get thick layers of it and it’s really light and creamy with that feeling of thick cream in you mouth is just bomb! Love the overall experience! Service was nice and never felt rushed. Cannot wait to go back and...
