Welcome to the Winter Wonderland of YoYo Glace & Boba Tea
The air is crisp, the streets of Downtown Montreal are sparkling with holiday lights, and the search for the perfect seasonal treat has officially begun. November and December are magical months, demanding a balance between cozy comfort and delightful indulgence. Where can you find a spot that offers both the refreshing joy of a frozen dessert and the warm hug of a holiday classic?
The answer is, without a doubt, YoYo Glace & Boba Tea.
Perfectly situated a stone’s throw from the St-Laurent metro station (St-Laurent Métro), and right at the edge of the dazzling Quartier des Spectacles (where the festive events happen!), YoYo Glace transforms into your ultimate winter sanctuary. We are not just a summer stop; we are the destination where the flavours of the cold season come alive, whether it’s in our homemade frozen yogurt inspired by gingerbread, a refreshing hot bubble tea (Bubble Tea Chaud), or an artisanal crêpe that warms you from the inside out.
In this comprehensive holiday guide, we’ll explore what makes YoYo Glace the essential stop this season, featuring our unique offerings perfect for students at McGill needing a study break or visitors enjoying the vibrant holiday atmosphere.
1. The Hot Fix: Bubble Tea that Warms and Revitalizes
While many associate bubble tea (thé aux perles) with warmer weather, YoYo Glace excels at adapting this Asian classic into a must-have winter essential. During November and December, our pearl teas are transformed into delicious Hot Bubble Teas (Bubble Tea Chaud), perfectly brewed to warm you up after braving the Montreal chill.
The Magic of the Hot Pearl Tea (Bubble Tea Chaud)
- Classic Winter Milk Teas: Picture a Classic Milk Tea served hot, where rich black tea and creamy milk combine with soft, chewy tapioca pearls to create a beverage that offers comfort from your fingertips to your toes. This is the perfect antidote to the icy wind blowing through Downtown Montreal.
- Spiced Seasonal Infusions: We introduce flavours that scream ‘Holiday Season’! Think of a Chai Latte Bubble Tea with notes of cinnamon and cardamom, or an elevated maple-infused black tea, celebrating local flavours even in the depths of winter.
These Hot Bubble Teas are the perfect grab-and-go option for your commute near the St-Laurent Métro or your walk towards the McGill or UQAM campuses. They prove that comfort can be both exotic and familiar. They are truly the best way to get your fix of Bubble Tea Chaud St-Laurent.
2. Frozen Yogurt Reimagined: The Holiday Spirit in Every Homemade Scoop
Yes, it’s cold outside, but that doesn’t diminish the craving for high-quality homemade frozen yogurt (yogourt glacé fait maison)! At YoYo Glace, we lean into the tradition of enjoying icy treats year-round, but with a decidedly festive twist.
Seasonal Frozen Flavours for November & December
Our commitment to quality ingredients and the homemade philosophy translates into flavour rotations that capture the very essence of the holidays. This ensures we are the top choice for Downtown Montreal Frozen Yogurt:
- “Gingerbread Delight” Frozen Yogurt: A bold, cozy flavour blending molasses, ginger, and warm spices. It delivers the comfort of holiday baking without the heaviness of a cake.
- Peppermint Bark & Chocolate: The ultimate holiday classic. Our naturally low-calorie treat (gâterie faible en calories) is subtly infused with mint and studded with dark chocolate chips, offering a fresh yet festive taste.
- Spiced Pumpkin (Available until Mid-December): Extend the cozy vibes with our rich and creamy pumpkin flavour, ideal as a base for crunchy toppings like candied pecans or a touch of whipped cream.
Warm & Inviting Toppings
To make the frozen dessert experience even more comforting, we feature toppings that evoke warmth and celebration:
- Hot Fudge or Warm Maple Syrup Coulis: The perfect hot-and-cold contrast is simply divine, ideal for a relaxing afternoon treat.
- Apple Pie Crumble or Toasted Pecans: Crunchy textures that add a comforting, baked-good dimension to your customizable, low-calorie yogurt creation.
3. The Artisanal Crêpe: YoYo Glace’s Cozy Hearth
When the temperature drops below freezing, the demand for our artisanal crêpes soars. Made fresh to order and served warm, the crêpe is the quintessential Dessert Réconfortant (Comforting Dessert) at YoYo Glace during November and December.
Festive and Gourmet Crêpe Offerings
We feature seasonal crêpe specialties that pair perfectly with the holiday spirit:
- The “Chocolate Orange Zest” Crêpe: A delicate crêpe filled with rich dark chocolate ganache and a hint of fresh orange zest—a classic, luxurious Christmas flavour profile.
- The “Black Forest” Crêpe: Topped with warm cherries, a dash of light cream, and chocolate shavings, reminiscent of the traditional holiday cake.
These artisanal crêpes blend beautifully with the chill atmosphere of our shop. It’s the ideal spot for a pre- or post-event gathering near the Quartier des Spectacles or a well-deserved celebration after finals with your McGill classmates.
