Another Taiwan Bubble Tea Shop: Sharetea

There is no shortage of Taiwanese bubble tea shops in Toronto (well, North York anyway)...yeah!  They've been opening so rapidly it's hard to keep track now.  I remember a time where I had to drive at least 30 minutes to Market Village in Markham just to have Ten Ren's bubble tea.  Now, I can walk to Ten Ren's, 168, ChaTime (they've opened their 4th location and are quite popular), a few other non-franchise places, and a newer place called Sharetea when a bubble tea craving calls.  (Although I have to say, I still love the overall experience of having a bubble tea at the Green Grotto at Warden and Steeles or Ten Ren's Times Ave. location.)  This past weekend, it was time to check out Sharetea, located at Northtown Way in North York.

North York, Ontario

UPDATE:  Here is their website (North York location only.)

The place is very small, only 2 tables so not the place for a long conversation or games.  But, service was quick.   Location is great for those living in the 4 buildings at Northtown Way.  




Ordered a hot matcha milk tea, 80% sugar.  It only comes in one size but was enough.

Overall, taste was good but I would have liked the matcha flavour to be stronger.  I'd have to have a few more drinks to see if there is a difference from ChaTime (their closest competitor) or if something stands out.  You will notice there won't be a long line-up and I think it might be slightly cheaper than ChaTime.  My partner had a kiwi and jelly tea which had real kiwi in it but wasn't anything special either.

Service:  nice.
