Tealicious Tea House

Just your regular boardgame café, but with a touch of friendly service.
There is a minimum purchase at the store when you sit down, if you want to save money just get the daily special for $ 3.99. The drink was average, not as good as regular bubble tea shops, but then again, you pay for playing the boardgames there.
The store is quite small actually, probably can sit around 5 different groups of people. There are 4 large couches to sit on if you at the right time. The selection of boardgames is kinda limited, but they do have the boardgame café staples such as poker, uno, ma jeong, monopoly, and san guo sha.
The servers/​owners are quite friendly, you can definitely have a nice chat with them and if it’s not too busy they would even play a little boardgames with you.

Great taro and coconut milk tea! Only place in town I’ve been that offers this combo. Keep coming back for it!

Small bubble tea spot that’s clean and plays good music! This place can get pretty busy sometimes but otherwise they have board games and special drinks you won’t find at chai time across the street

This place is amazing to just chill and have a good time with friends. Came to this tea house at 6:00 — 7:30PM after a sports tournament and the music and service was nice. They had raised the price up too :/​
Told the server our order which was 4 Sunday special (Strawberry Heaven) and it was only avaliable in a large but that was fine and we also got popcorn chicken as a snack. For myself I ordered condensed milk toast but on a separate bill.
Strawberry Heaven– it was pretty good for a large drink, $ 4.99. However it was really foamy at the top and it was a little bitter which was more bitter than I prefer because it was a green tea base. What it tastes was like strawberry kitkat but a little less sweet. Was a big glass though!
Popcorn chicken– was amazing! However portion was a little small for $ 5.50 ish I believe. Nice seasoning and came with sweet chili sauce
Condensed milk toast– I had to remind my server to bring me my toast but other than that the food was good. It was sweet, warm and it tasted a bit like coconut which was unusual… Nice plating though!
Overall, the store is a bit small but the couch area was comfy, clean and the variety of games is fairly big. Their display of toys is cute!
Side note: a lot of the games are Chinese or have Chinese instructions but some do have little English basic instructions.
WOULD DEFINETLY COME HERE WITH MORE PEOPLE!

Not bad for my first visit. A small bright homey feel with comfortable clean couches. Came in a group of 11+ and played our own board games. They have a small selection of board games, magazines and even Wii.
Malt Milk Tea was good, crispy malt flakes, but too sweet. The server overheard me telling this to my friend and insisted on making me a new drink, even though I had already drank ¹⁄₃. Thank you for good service rarely seen in bubble tea shops/​Asian places!
I liked the Passionfruit Juice with Aloe (half sweet). The Apple Oolong is not bad, roasty flavor with a hint of apple.
Only complaint is that it was very stuffy.

I’ve only been here twice, and it was just a quick in and out for bubble tea if I’m visiting NCIX right next door.
Nothing too special, but I remember seeing a bunch of board games and magazines which I assume is more fun if you’re visiting Tealicious in a group.
The bubble tea is good, but nothing to really rave about.
I decided to be fair with my review though since I never really had the full experience here.

Oreo milk tea is so bomb. It would have been perfect with a bit of tapioca but I had ordered without. I tried their taro red bean slush too which was good. The kit Kat milk tea, I would have wanted more kit Kat flavor. I like how their drinks are not as sweet as some other bbt places. Service is great, and their daily specials are affordably priced at $ 3.99. To be honest, I like how there’s not a lot of people during the weeknights and appreciate the quietness without a crowd. I’ve never been there on weekends, so I can’t comment on that. Give them a try today, you might be surprised! I still need to try their matcha milk tea… Mmmm :)

Loved everything about this place; down to the cool transformers action figure that was displayed on the front counter. The Nerd in me has resurfaced. It was a really cool action figure. Never seen one so big and it reminded me of the good old days where kids played with action figures instead of their tablets and phones.
Anyway, service was amazing even though we were the only customers there on a Friday afternoon. The apple honey tea we got for $ 6.99 was never empty and the guy filled it three times. I had to take a major leak afterwards… lol. The apple honey tea was very sweet for a tea but I really liked it and it wasn’t overly sweet.
Also got a condensed milk toast for $ 4.49 which was awsesome. Bread was super thick and the top layer had like a cookie crumble of some sort and drenched with condensed milk. For the road I also got a pudding milk tea for $ 4.49. Not what I was expecting because I thought there would be actual pudding with milk tea but instead it was a pudding flavoured milk tea. Not too bad but I would prefer actual pudding.

–Tapioca wasn’t that fresh.
–Hot tea was expensive for a mug ($ 5 – 6), and was overly bitter.
–Service wasn’t that welcoming either. Instead of asking us if we were ready to order, they just stood there beside us.

We dropped by for after supper drink. We ordered a Lychee Calpis Milk Tea with jelly and a Matcha Milk Tea with tapioca, which was the daily special. We did not ask for any change in sugar level. Let’s just say I was glad that the beverages were not too sweet, which to me is an ultimate sin for milk tea. I am aware that this is an old fashioned, personal preference of how tea/​milk tea is.
This is no Green Grotto; the venue is furnished in a grown up way. The sofa is comfortable; the wallpaper tasteful, the lighting bright. The place does not try to look cute or adorable. The background music is at times elevator music or jazzy rock. Overall, it has a lounge vibe but not dark/​dim, sexy or alcoholic.
Despite the style, the patrons this evening were mostly college students. I guess I have to accept that students are the main BB tea consumers. On the other hand, I am still glad that on top of coffee shops and lounges, I can go to grownup bubble tea places for after supper drinks now.

Expensive and mediocre boba that’s not even worth coming too, I rather goto chatime and pay a lil more for quality boba

It’s okay. No real wait staff when we got there. Could be a really bad review day for them then.
Waitress took our order but never came back to check up on us. It’s a small place so I don’t know what else they could have been doing. Ikea mugs. But seats were cushioned.
A bunch of gamers or homeworkers came in behind us. But they weren’t really loud. Not a lot privacy.

I think I’ve come to a realization about why we don’t have a lot of independent coffee shops in the GTA, it’s because here in the burbs, we rock Bubble Tea spots pretty hard, and we kick have some spots that kick some serious ass. Tealicious on the Scarborough/​Markham border is a prime example of this Bubble Tea ass kickery!
Great friendly service, clean venue, fast reliable FREE WiFi and lots of couches, outlets and tables to either lounge at or so work from. All this in addition to all your fave flavours of bubble tea in both Milk and Juice options. Fairly standard for most spots but all the other x-​factors of this place are what lead me to add a better than average review.
They’re located just north of Finch within a great plaza so keep your eyes open for their green sign when cruising the parking lot

It’s a cozy place. The servers are always nice for the times I’ve been there.
I’ve had a few of their drinks — given the great number of choices, I didn’t expect all to be good: the slushes tasted a bit too sweet. I really like their rose milk tea though (looks awesome in the to-​go cups).
I don’t have high expectations for food at such a small tea place, so I don’t generally order them. I’ve only had the green-​tea-​flavored thick toast (which was decent) and the cheesecake platter. The cheesecakes are like the squared little ones you can get from Costco, which means they taste okay but nothing special.
In general I’d recommend it if you are looking for a place to chat or study (it’s usually quiet and the lighting is pretty good/​not so dark as Go-for-Tea’s, so I suppose it’s actually a nice place for studying).

I usually come here Friday nights. They have a pretty small establishment, but they still manage to fit a lot when our group of 10 comes on Friday so I wouldn’t be too worried. Drinks are pretty good and their food is okay for a bubble tea place. Prices are comparable to other places. They have card games and small board games like monopoly deal and uno! And… won’t make you wait till midnight to play
Overall, if you’re looking for a place to hang out and drink some bubble tea and the ‘popular’ places are full, test this place out!

I feel that everytime I go here, I get a different experience.
I usually go here during happy hour (3pm-​7pm) when its usually empty and aside from the crappy music they continuously repeat over and over again, it’s a good place to study or hang out.
Tealicious offers a variety of bubble tea, slushies, yogurt drinks, etc. Their menu is quite extensive from cold and hot drinks on one side and food and desserts on the other.
I really like the bubble tea here, the drink itself doesn’t have powderly crap (or that much) and actually tastes sweet compare to Go for Tea just up north of Midland. To be honest, it’s one of the best bubble teas in Scarborough.
However food wise, it’s a mixed bag. The only good thing in the menu is the minced beef on rice (with kimchi and egg) and doesn’t taste like its been thrown into a microwave like most of the items on the menu.
I guess since they don’t really have a «kitchen» like their competitor, Tea A Break, or that none of the staff could actually cook.
One thing that I like about this place is the free wifi which is high speed or at least faster than other cafes and coffee shops like Starbucks.
Like other Unilocalers mention, the service here is terrible, especially the owner who constantly insults me behind my back even though i constantly leave a good 15% tip everytime.
… I feel that if I did not tip them I would get the same exact crappy-​ass service which befuddles me. I mean seriously, if I give them a bad tip they crap on me for it but when I don’t give them anything, they don’t. whatever… /​rant
Plus the place smells weird…

Like the takeout minced pork on rice and popcorn chicken. 20% off for takeout. Really a good deal! The original bubble tea is decent.

Just another run of the mill Bubble Tea joint.
Tealicious offers a wide range of bubble tea and some pretty peculiar ones as well. The place itsels if located near Finch on Midland in a shopping plaza dominated by the Asian community (as is most plazas in Markham). Directly across from Tea Break (competitor), this joint has a very relaxed atmosphere with several couches and tables. It also offers some good looking snacks that I will have to get my hands on sometime.
The menu consists of a nice mix of hot and cold drinks with some interesting concoctions like Kit-​Kat milk tea and Oreo milk tea. I stuck with the Hot Pudding Tea to get my sugar kick in. Served in a tall mug, the drink was good but very sweet. It was smooth, silky, and extremely hot. It costs about $ 5 which is pretty much on par with the rest of the drinks on the menu.
They do offer a Happy Hour period from 3pm-​7pm everyday of the week. Buy one drink, get the second half off. During happy hour, the place is pretty dead during the week, so it ends up being a decent place to get some work or studying done (though the workers there will play music streaming from the internet). Parking isn’t an issue.

Great staff! Clean and modern interior. Had Kit-​Kat bubble tea and Taro-​Coconut bubble tea, something I have never seen or tasted before. Both were delicious and competitively priced with other big name tea places. I would definitely go back to try more flavours.
Note: 20% off when doing takeout orders.
: You get a card that can accumulate stamps that go toward a free drink.
