Toronto is a global hotspot for Asian foods, drinks, and desserts, and there seems to be a new bubble tea franchise coming over from Asia every week.

From the Downtown Core to the surrounding suburbs, Torontonians have seen a flurry of new tea shops over the past few months. These are 10 of the new bubble tea spots that will satisfy your next milk tea craving.
