Usually, Chatime Moncton always meets or surpasses my expectations in terms of quality, speed and service. However, today at Chatime, these expectations were completely and utterly thrown out of the window. Most of the time, even with the store being packed at full capacity, it usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes at most to order and receive your drinks. This time, we waited a cumulative 1 whole hour, waiting around 20 minutes to order and 40 minutes for our drinks. Although the store was completely full, this wait is inexcusable, especially when considering that one of our drinks sat on the counter for 20 minutes, and the other one for 10.

Or to have a high chair for a kid. Anyway we paid again to have the same thing and walked home with it. Overvise it is nice cafe for young people...
Read moreUsually I really like this place, but after the last time I went I have been turned off from going again.
They ran out of pearls which was fine but the cashier recommended the crystal pearls instead. I asked if they were the same thing and she said yes - They really were not. She used the last bit of the pearls in my drink - including the goopy broken up pearl sludge that was left at the bottom of the tapioca pearls pot, and put some of the crystal pearls in. It was gross.
Adding on that, my drink also had clumps of the drink powder in it.
it turned a place that I would look at longingly when I drove by into a place that I feel grossed out by when...
