Charlie's Tea (Downtown)

Charlie’s Tea on Yonge is the rare Toronto boba shop that is actually 24 hours: official site charliestea.ca lists Downtown at 546 Yonge Street, open 24 hours, phone (647) 695-5558 (the footer also prints 548 Yonge — same block; use 546 as the order/member address). Copy is blunt: real tea leaves, fresh milk, no creamers. Tea bases on the homepage include White Peach Oolong, Dancong, Ceylon black, Da Hong Pao, Osmanthus Oolong, and Jasmine Maojian. First-timers: white peach oolong milk tea is the easy win; Da Hong Pao if you want roast. No reservations. 3 a.m. on Yonge is the use-case no other shop on this list covers. North York (11 a.m.–midnight) and Scarborough (noon–10 p.m.) are the daytime sisters if you are not downtown.
