Maison O Thé — Restaurant in Montreal

Both the staff and the drinks are lovely, and I definitely recommend the place if anyone wants a nice treat! Staff gives out recommendations when asked, and they're always so sweet and enthusiastic about everything.

Drinks I'd recommend would be any of the fruit teas. I especially like the lychee, strawberry, and peach flavours with green tea! Lychee jelly is usually my go-to topping.

Other drinks I've liked were the Seoul Citrus (with lychee jelly) and the Hokkaido (tapioca balls). Their tapioca is perfectly done compared to presotea, it's great as a topping!

I prefer the old wall colours as I don't think the current bubblegum pink/blue gradient fits with the atmosphere. I'm aware it's because this is the dreamland MOT, but I feel like it clashes with the simple red colour scheme they have going on? It's still nice to sit in and hang out with friends though!

I liked the old fidelity card system they had in the past, but the new one isn't bad either since it's more convenient to have on phone. I think it'd be better if they had a 'buy 10 drinks, get 1 free' offer like they did before. Or at least just more offers than the 'spend 100$ to get 10$ credit' one.

Overall, it's definitely 5 stars for me. I'll continue coming here, thank you for the...

Are you looking for a soothing moment in your day ? Look no further, this is it.

At first glance this is a very modest bubbletea shop, but as soon as you walk in there is an irresistible aroma of hot caramelised sugars and cream, instantly I wanted to try it.

I'm decent when it comes to bubbletea, I'm no novice but I love to get the staff's idea on their pride and joy on the menu, and I was not disappointed as the cashier walked me, thoroughly should I add, through the choices and really did a number on my indecisiveness as I wanted to try them all.

I settled for the dragon fruit seasonal boba ( with the tapioca of course ), half sugar, and it was delicious. You can tell the tapioca is homemade and the fruit puree is fresh, it was sublime.

The service was quick and it felt really good just conversing with the person at the front as they had that sweet familiar vibe, you could tell they enjoyed being there.

I'm usually a grumpy guy and tend to not be too social with the staff wherever I go and I don't write reviews either, but they absolutely deserve it as I walked out of there feeling so much better in my day.

Cheers guys, to your...

Edit 2024/07/03: Downgrading all the way to 1 star. The reason why: they installed 2 digital ordering stations. While this place has always been a local place where I had fun talking with the staff, this addition makes me feel I’m at a McDonalds and isolate us from the staff. I will not support this. Your staff is great, respect them and send those devices back. They are part of why your clients come here.

Edit 2023/01/16: Lowering from 5 to 4 stars because of another price increase. I do understand inflation and other related economy concepts, I don’t blame 1 single price raise, but sadly this place has now gone through 3 price bumps in around 1 year and a half. As well as cutting cost on products themselves (which they taste almost the exact same btw so no complain on the quality here). Out of all my regular places this is by far the one that got the most price increases sadly. Now it’s almost 10$ for a cold large tea.

Amazing staff, delicious tea, vast choice. I would recommend to everybody, especially if you’re never tried those kind of teas. I tried few other tea places around there and O Thé is by far the...
