Meow Tea — Restaurant in Ottawa

Usually my experience is quite pleasant, but the last visit left a sour taste in my mouth, and hence the 2 stars. Their drinks are quite good and the service is normally not bad. However, on this specific day, a guy with glasses gave me my drinks by plopping it down in front of me, rude but ok. I ordered multiple drinks so I asked for a bag, does he bag it for me like they normally do? Yes, but initially he slaps the bags down on the counter, had an inner fight with himself, and proceeds to bag one of the drinks. As I'm bagging the other, I noticed that there was residue on the cup so I asked him to clean it. He goes "it's red bean." Ok??? What does that have to do with cleaning the cup? I told him straight up, there is something on the cup and I don't want to touch it. Buddy, I get that you don't want to be here, but this is your job, please do...

Yummy tasting milk tea. The tapioca is fresh, soft, and chewy. They also make amazing taro pearls as well which is definitely worth a try if you haven’t already. The drinks are on the pricier side in comparison to other bubble tea places. They have their meow meow bowls which is literally bubble tea in a bowl. The bowls give you more options for toppings and you have a choice of base. I liked the bowl because there were generous servings of toppings and a good variety to choose from. I’ve ordered from ubereats and also in store. I would say it’s more worth it to get it in store as the prices are hiked up on food service platforms (which makes it almost $10 for a large).

The inside of the store is nice and clean. The decor is very cute and has drawings of animated chubby...

My boyfriend and I came here because of the good reviews and we were horribly disappointed. His drink the kiwi peach tea was great, but for my taro oolong milk tea, the lady called out the wrong item when it was done, assuming she did not make the correct drink for me. She looked at me as if I forgot what my drink was, then proceeded to look back at the receipt to see what she was supposed to be making. The pearls were mush and grainy. The tea was definitely not taro and it was tasteless. I love supporting local businesses but this was just not it. Also when you walk in, you will be left standing there for minutes without being acknowledged or greeted, even when the ladies could be looking...
