Ten Ren's Tea

I used to come here more in the past when they were the only bubble tea place around, but after getting to try other places like Coco's and GongCha, I have been avoiding this place. It tends to always have a long line and it is quite pricey, especially considering they only use powders and syrups.When I went to Yorkdale the other day, I was deciding between Yogen Fruz (they have real fruit smoothies and bubble tea) or Ten Ren and I decided to give Ten Ren another shot. There were only 3 people in front of me, but it took a good 10 minutes for them to get to me....and then I waited another 15 minutes just to get my drink. I was considering their normal milk tea, but they had a few special drinks, so I got the Tokyo Sakura drink with crystal 'Boba'. I was dissappointed. Ended up just tasting like sugar water. No real flavour. The Boba was also jelly, but I expected that as I tried a coconut water drink from Chatime which had the same thing but called it what it really was.There is also a Jugo Juice that has a Presotea in the middle of the mall, and a newer Chatime near the TTC entrance, so honestly, so you have much better and faster choices for bubble tea if you're in the mall.

I ordered the Tokyo Sakura because I saw it on the board for top 10 drinks and it looked so pretty so I thought I would give it a try. In the picture it shown as a white bottom, with purple at the top. When I received my drink it was light yellow bottom and pink top, so I was a little put off on the presentation of it, however when I tried the drink it was pretty good. I am usually a milk tea person and rarely ever order anything thats not milk tea. This was a yakult based drink that came with crystal boba. I love the chewing on these crystal boba a little different than traditional tapioca. It has more of a jelly like texture. Overall it was a good drink to try.

Nice fancy milk tea selection. Price is a bit high. I consider it because it is inside yorkdale mall. Location is right at the entrance by the cineflex. The classic milk tea same as other store, but here they have new options ang looks cool. Try it out.

Worst customer service ever drinks were not good. The staff was very rude and racist. They were literally making fun of me for what I was ordering. Really felt very offended, first time I have ever felt this way in Canada. I will not recommend anyone. Never every would pe wasting even a dime at this place.

Large variety of teas. The menu is simple to read and to understand. You don't feel like you're overloaded with too many options. Service is very friendly and fast. Ordered peach green tea (highly recommended)Tip: Ask for less sugar in your drinks. Some fruit teas are sweet enough without the added sugar.

I liked the staff but the bubble tea was downright atrocious. Awful taste, me and my mother were both up at 3 AM due to the caffeine in the fruit tea even though we supposedly ordered a drink with no caffeine. I’ll never come here again.

If you're in the mood for a cup of tepid disappointment

I got pushed and I fell over and my whole drink fell. I asked them to make another one cuz I paid a whole 9 dollars and they didn’t. Rude staff.

Excellent bubble tea spot! Always the freshest tapioca and great tasting teas. One of the best parts - the only place I’ve seen that has sugar cane straws and not plastic ones. Every other place - take notes!
