A Place For Us

banana snowflake

A Place for Us, one too many nights have been spent there killing time. For a sit down bubble tea place I'd rate A Place for Us as average. Drinks and prices are well....average! Prices range from around $4-7 depending on size, tapioca/jelly, slush, and so on, you know the drill.

One drink they have that's a bit different from other places is the snowflake. What can I say about the snowflake....well it's cold and it's thick and it's crunchy. It's like a slush with pieces of crushed frozen corn flakes in it? I have no idea what it is but it sure is crunchy. But anyway, I tried the banana snowflake which cost $5.99 + tax and didn't have a strong fake banana taste to it which was nice but not sure if it's something I'd get again.

Overall the drinks are decent but nothing amazing and the seating is kind of squished and the service can be a bit surly but where it does win for us (hahaha get it? get it? you get it...) is proximity. It's pretty much the closest decent sit down bubble tea place for most people I know. So if you're in the area, why not, give it a try otherwise there are tons of other average bubble tea places all over the GTA.

Random lesson of the night: Corn pops are not a substitute for tapioca and do not fit through a bubble tea straw.

  1. I tried this drink and I LOVED IT! the crushed frosted flakes or whatever it is makes this drink what it is and if you don't want to get bubbles it's great on it's own.
