D’s Cafe Bubble Tea

Yummy~~~~I tried their bubble tea and some sides. The bubble was made good and I ordered the wedge fries, cuttlefish balls and deep fried tofu, which were hot and crispy. Also the food came out pretty fast and the staff there were nice. Have more than 50++ flavours of bubble tea for you to choose from, definitely would go back there!

Fantastic bubble tea at decent prices. I was astonished with how many different types of bubble tea they had. Im currently at 7 types, and have loved them all so far. I’m a huge fan of banana, and it’s my favourite kind this far. The XL drink is giant; I’ve tried it once and was barely able to finish it. You can add on snacks to your order, like French fries for $ 1.50. They’re the same fries you’d get at the grocery store that are pre cooked and just heated, which I don’t mind at all. They have a huge chalkboard wall which is full of drawings and various obscenities, which is an eye sore in my opinion. They don’t let people write on it anymore, so I don’t see the point in keeping it. Favourite bubble tea joint in Hamilton. Would recommend to friends and family. 4.5÷5

If you’re looking for a good slush bubble tea, this is the place to go. Their slush bubble tea has stayed consistent over the past 8 years I’ve frequented the place (even when there are new workers).
If you are looking for regular milk tea, it’s not as good as a chain store from taiwan or china.
For the price, the food is okay. As for taste, it’s hit or miss. Their fries are consistently good. Nice and crispy, soft in the middle with the right amount of seasoning. The amount of fries you get with their dollar specials is significantly smaller now compared to the past but are still worth it. The soy minced pork and popcorn chicken are delicious as well.
I think the price is right with this bubble tea shop. There are some in hamilton that would charge much more for a simple milk tea but there are also some that would charge less.
Things to know…
1. You can order $ 1, $ 2, or $ 2.50 snacks along with your bubble tea.
2. You can mix flavours but they will not guarantee it will taste good. I personally mix taro and strawberry.
3. One bathroom per gender. Relatively clean but the door to the girls bathroom does not lock and sometimes does not close properly.
4. You can write on the chalk board walls.
5. There are board games and cards for your enjoyment.
6. Parking is free and on the side/​back of the building.
7. THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY!
8. There is a stamp card available. Buy 9 drinks and get the 10^th free.

I love D’s.
You can write on the walls, there’s board games, there’s also a giant hanging lightbulb in the middle that nobody ever notices.
The prices here are pretty fair — especially when you get a h u g e cup for the XL for $ 7.50’ish.
Get taro slush with tapioca and whip cream!

I was hopeful to find good bubble tea in Hamilton. This place was not bad. My gold standard comparison point is Chai Time in Toronto (huge fan of their coconut milk tea).
My first impression is the neighbourhood is a little rough. I’m sure it is fine during the day. But in late evening (ie., after 9pm) not sure I would hang out in the are on my own. When we first went inside no one was behind the counter. I saw someone eating at the back table, she did not look happy to see up. Eventually she got up and this turned out to be our server. After the lack-​lusted welcome she dutifully made our drinks. My friend had coconut milk-​tea while I tried a coconut slushy (it was late, I don’t do well with caffeine in the evening). Slushy was good, nothing spectacular. Same for my friends milk tea.
Would I come back? Yes, atmosphere was chill. They also have quite the variety of fried food snacks. But I think I will check out a couple other bubble tea places in Hamilton for comparison. Stay tuned for more bubble tea review :)

Best bubble tea in Hamilton! Like their smurf slush very much, popcorn chicken is good too!

Oh boy, this place is by far one of the worst milk tea places I’ve ever been to. I’m from California so milk tea shops are available everywhere and at extremely good quality and price. I decided to give this place 2 stars just considering the fact that this is the only place with milk tea/​bubble tea available in Hamilton.
I ordered a red bean milk tea, my sister ordered a brown sugar milk tea, and my brother order a green milk tea. My drink tasted so artificial and sweet. I drank about a third of it and couldn’t even finish it. While my brother and sister’s drinks were much better than mine, it was still too sweet and powdery for us.
The only good thing here is the tapioca pearls/​boba. It was soft and a little bit chewy, but much better than the drinks themselves. This place is just really lucky they don’t have other milk tea/​boba joints to compete with here. If I do have a craving for milk tea any time soon I’ll wait until I’m in Toronto.

By far the best bubble tea in Hamilton, if a tad on the expensive side. Well worth the price and the option for a wide selection of delicious sides.
