Answer Tea is a Toronto-based bubble and fruit tea shop that’s disrupting the industry with a unique element: custom-printed photos that are artfully featured on top of each beverage.
Although Answer Tea boasts over 500 locations worldwide, the Toronto location is the very first in Canada.
The shop boasts a luxurious Tiffany theme, with neon signs with romantic statements decorating the walls, and powder blue and gold chairs and wall accents featured throughout.
With an innovative machine that’s able to print images onto the cheese mousse that decorates each beverage, consumers are able to have any picture featured on their order.
To do so, they simply have to scan a QR code, and then select the photo from their phone’s gallery. Alternatively, they can opt for a randomized image offered by Answer Tea, or a text slogan.
Toronto’s Answer Tea is located in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood, at 439 Spadina Ave.
