World's largest bubble tea chain coming to downtown Toronto

The world's largest bubble tea chain is opening its first downtown location next month. CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice, which already has Toronto area locations in North York and Scarborough and tops our list of the best bubble tea shops, has a loyal following in such countries as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, China and the Philippines.

Their signature drinks include the 3 Guys (milk tea with tapioca, pudding, grass jelly), Bubble GaGa (passion fruit tea with tapioca and coconut) and the Sago Taro Milk Tea (taro milk tea served with sago bubble).

The opening follows the recent trend of popular Asian chains opening near Yonge and Dundas. Uncle Tetsu and Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken have become Toronto institutions in the last year. Fellow bubble tea chains Chatime and Sharetea have also expanded their Toronto footprint in the last 12 months.

The new location of CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice is slated to open on February 14 at 648 Yonge Street - just south of Irwin.
