Molly Tea (Commerce Gate) — Restaurant in Markham

Drinks – As one of the newest bubble tea spots to hit the GTA, I couldn't resist giving it a try. I ordered the White Champaca Oat Milk Tea, which featured a green tea base with a subtle floral touch and a surprising addition. Also, there was an orange slice that enhanced the flavors beautifully. Their menu offers a unique selection of drinks that stand out from typical bubble tea chains like Chatime. While the options are more streamlined, I believe this approach works in their favor, as they prioritize premium quality over quantity. Each sip felt thoughtfully crafted, making it a worthwhile experience.

Service – The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, bringing a touch of Chinese culture that I truly appreciated. They were efficient, hardworking, and maintained a great level of attentiveness, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience from start to finish.

Ambiance – The shop itself is quite small, designed as more of a grab-and-go spot rather than a sit-down experience. Despite the limited space, the interior is bright, clean, and well-organized, making it easy to navigate and order. The minimalist aesthetic adds to the modern and fresh feel of the place.

Overall Experience – If you're looking for high-quality, unique bubble tea flavors and don't mind the lack of seating, this spot is definitely worth a visit. The focus on premium ingredients and excellent service makes it a standout choice in the crowded...

Was the tea very good?

YES.

Was it overpriced?

YES.

It falls in a similar boat to Chicha San Chen in my honest opinion. Infringing on TenRen's pricing territory (~$10 for a tea) and all teas are default size (you can't pick).

Also, this place specializes in milk tea so if you're not a milk tea lover don't even bother.

Chicha San Chen has arguably even smaller cups for their close to $10 price tag so I would say you might feel like this place is even better bang for your buck compared to Chicha.

The recommended sugar level for some of their teas is also 70% (yea you read that right LOL). I was skeptical so I tried out 70% sugar lvl for my cold white campacha milk tea (at the cashier's recommendation) and I was pleasantly surprised that it ACTUALLY wasn't that sweet still and could still taste the tea leaves.

I really don't want $10 bbt to be a commonplace thing in Toronto but here we are.

My gf and I enjoyed the flavour of the tea though (can't lie about that), hence the solid 4 stars just based on tea quality.

I'll come back once hype dies down even more to try the peach oolong milk tea (it was sold out on this...

Aesthetic boba shop with bright pops of pink packaging is really eyecatching

The light entering the space is really nice even if it’s only a takeout boba shop. Minimalist aesthetic and further enhanced with the pink cups and takeaway bags

The tea was nice and smooth. I like the fact that even with the hot cup, the tea is sealed until you’re ready to drink. At that time you remove the seal from under the lid and admire your drink and put the lid back on and enjoy

What really caught my attention was when I was pulling the seal off my jasmine oat milk tea, there was a thick slice of orange giving an additional level of flavour to the tea.

The other thing I noticed was the smell of florals in the store. Telling me that actual tea is being used, not powders. Or maybe just my nose deceiving me lol

Service was quick and even with a very small lineup, for my drink fairly quickly.

Parking lot as I have said before for this plaza can get quite packed but if circling a few times and no spots avail, try the u dethroned parking behind the...
