Tea Shop 168 (steeles Avenue W)

Nice board game cafe at North York Centre. They were primarily a cafe/bbt shop and expanded to board games. Food and drink are above average for a board game cafe and they have a decent collection of board games. Harder to find seating for very large parties (8+ . Recommend getting the mango and lychee pitchers to share.

This bubble tea is highly overrated and not worth stopping at, even if you're coming from a long walk with your poodle or Pomeranian! The staff is unfriendly, barely remembering my order, and I can't understand their English. I always feel pressured to buy the largest, expensive drink and am never allowed to use their restroom. The flavors and fruit taste too artificial, and I haven't had fresh tasting kiwi, lime, strawberry, or honeydew since COVID-19 hit. The service has really gone downhill. The tapioca balls are stale, and my order is always wrong. Additionally, their advertised board games like Snakes and Lattes are subpar, with missing pieces and never being available. Overall, the fresh fruit and tea at this location taste too artificial, and I prefer fresh-squeezed or David's Cold Teas. This popular tea shop is impossible to get good service at. Thumbs down! JG

Great selection of drinks both hot or iced! Delicious egg waffles with a variety of toppings! Friendly and knowledgeable staff as well!

Customer service is top notch but bubble tea is disgusting, or at least the one I got was! Fresh taro milk tea was just terrible!

I am really concerned with the food safety and quality. After we had brunch there, we experienced really bad diarrhea within half of hour.
