Chatime - Adelaide

About the franchise in general Pros: - best taro milk tea compared to other franchises around the area (Coco & Gongcha). [Not watery and lacking in taro flavour like Gongcha] - chillers are never a let down and worth the money since they don't finish as quickly as (milk) teas. - Matcha Red Bean Chiller has a good amount of matcha taste in it, unlike other places which only put in a small scoop resulting in a watery taste. - Premium Pearl Milk tea is great for first time drinkers Cons: - used to be good and cheap a few years ago, but the toppings went from 50c to 70c - the menu became smaller since the franchise cut out the Energizers and many other drinks [I used to only order Longan & Red Date] - plastic cups have become thinner Hint: should offer more samples

When Chatime first opened up their roasted milk tea was really good. But the past few months it has gone downhill! I gave it a few goes to see if it was a once off..but nope! Wasted my money as their roasted milk tea is really diluted and bland. Very disappointed!! I am now a fan of Coco bubble tea shop which opened next door.

Go-to tea chain in AustraliaWas in town and craved some teaSmall venueQuick serviceHad a really long line filled with students.

I have an obsession with Asian food, so coming here was a no brainer.

Bubble tea was always a mystery to me - what was it? was it bubbly tea? Did you eat it? It was this strange wondrous thing I just wanted to try.
