Drink of Choice: Rose Milk Tea, $5.50

Bloor Barista is a sweet cafe that emphasizes on quality products at a reasonable price. The cafe offers a vast variety of tea for you to choose from. I decided to try their Rose Milk Tea, which was the first time I ever had milk tea. For every tea order, it comes in a cute teapot with a small candle to keep the tea warm. The drink was very frothy and I enjoyed the experience because the atmosphere, which was quaint and inviting. I enjoyed the adorable wall decals especially. I saw a family that decided to stop by for a bit and spent some quality time together over tea and coffee while I was there.

The owner was really generous as he made me a free cup of coffee as well after I finished my tea! The coffee brew was delicious and light to the taste buds. I think Bloor Barista is perfect for the tea lovers in the Wallace Emerson neighbourhood. It's also a nice study spot.
