Amongst the new-ish places I'm discovering on Queen St since I have been back after a two-year absence abroad, is Chatime. There are a lot of new bubble tea places around town. Have you noticed? A new one just popped up on Lorne St a few weeks ago. My colleague K has a Chatime pretty much every Friday after lunch. It's her yes-it's-finally-friday celebratory treat to herself. Good for her. I personally wish they had a smaller size than their size small, because I find the smallest size already quite intimidatingly large. These teas are a meal in themselves. So many flavours and so many toppings to choose from - a warm small taro drink with half the pearls and no sugar, please.
