I've been to like 30 different bubble tea/smoothy shops in maybe 15 different towns and this one is by far the best. Super cute atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Then this angel makes you theeeee best drinks you can possibly have. They just started doing food which looks amazing ill be having to return for that :)
Just ordered from here tonight. Been there 5 times now this year. They've been consistent in their quality. Best bubble tea shop in town. Amazing berry shortcake and mochi. Great service and very sweet and kind people. Highly recommend.
Cute Experience. Customer service is great. Kirill makes sure that everything is perfect. The Japanese style cake is a must try.
Been going here for a while now. The owners are such lovely people and the food is top notch. I love the mochi box, it's always a special treat and gets eaten in no time ( eat it fresh). So far the taro red bean bubble tea is a fave and recently I had the hungry cat sandwich which was a yummy filling lunch! So happy they opened in downtown St Thomas. Make sure you visit.
Super cute place with delicious bubble tea! We were passing through St. Thomas and decided to pop in because I saw Jancat advistised on Instagram. The art is fantastic and the service was friendly ad helpful! We had the strawberry Chai and mango chia colada bubble teas as well as the pork and seaweed onigiri (no pictures because it was devoured right away). Highly recommend!
Lovely atmosphere and cute designs in the store part. The owners are very friendly and the drinks there are always great. The only thing I have to note is that I wish there were a few more basic drink options to get in case you don’t want anything too fancy or it’s your first time getting bubble tea. Definitely the best bubble tea in St. Thomas currently.
I've been wanting to try this place since they opened and when I saw they had mochi I knew I had to go. The bubble tea is the best I've had! The tapioca was so good and it was not too sweet and fresh. I also ordered the mochi box and I will definitely be getting this again! Each flavour was so delicious esp with the cream and cookie crumbs. my favourite flavour is a tie between the strawberry and sesame seed topped mochi.
As soon as I walk in, I feel happiness all around with the wonderful colours, her artwork is amazing, love the stickers, plus the drinks are amazing as well. Also a nice little spot to sit down and enjoy said drinks
Decent boba, a little on the too sweet side. Atmosphere is pretty unique.
First time visiting this evening. Will definitely be back! The OnigirI Combo was delicious. The shop is absolutely adorable.
Me and my husband really love their bubble tea.We eill surely visit again.The owner is very kind and approachable.
An absolutely adorable store, with delicious food!
Very beautiful place and the food was warm and delicious!! chai bubble tea 9/10 Pork ongiri 9/10 Food : 5/5
Amazing place. Highly recommend.
Ive never had a good boba tea until i came here. DELICIOUS! my favorite place for a snack
Cute shop but server was rude and seemed annoyed he had to serve us. Tried to ask questions about the bubble tea and he was really short. Got the matcha and a coffee one.. No sugar?? In either? I ve gotten bubble tea all over and never had zero sugar added. The strawberry cake cup was pretty bland too.
10/10 for the black sesame coffee boba and the Japanese style berry shortcake. definitely will be back!
All the food here is wonderful! You can tell it was made with love and is always so fresh. I always get the onigiri combo and the onigiri are both really large and its def worth the price. The drinks are always well made and tasty as well :) love this place so much
Everything Ive had here were absolutely exceptional down to every details. You can tell everything is made with exceptional care and a lot of thoughts into it. And when I thought it was good. They surprised me with more! I cannot wait to see what else they will bring to our city. Great job Jancat! Exceptional all around!
Awesome, cute, little place that serves artsy bubble teas, tea, coffee and desserts.homemade mochi is served, unfortunately its a must to order a day ahead.
Drinks are really good here!
We visited today, we got the Hungry Cat sandwich, Miso soup, Origiri with tuna and egg, bubble tea, Japanese style berry shortcake. The food was great and the service super. We would definitely visit again. Food : 5/5
My girlfriend and I have been here quite a few times now! We just recently tried their onigiri and it s so good!! On top of the food, drinks and service, the atmosphere is a cute cozy vibe! Everything about this place is great! You won t be disappointed
The bubble tea was so good and a very generous amount of tapioca pearls had some left over lol. For the price it was amazing. I ordered a chi and strawberry bubble tea large, chi was authentic and the whip cream with the strawberry was really nice, it also had 2 types of brown sugar tapioca and the jelly pop strawberry Pearls.Amazing atmosphere beautiful style, it was so pretty and cute. Perfect for cat lovers. Was open fairly early to which was really nice. Kid-friendliness: It was definitely kid friendly.
I love this place. I really like the decorations, its something unique and very original. The staff are really friendly and nice. And the food, wow, I loved everything, so delicious. Overall their coffee bobba Tea, is my favorite. It looks great and appetizing, the flavor is AMAZING , really fair priced, and its completely worth it. Compared to the bobba teas that Ive tried in other places, the ones from this place are my favorite and delicious.
The owners are wonderful, passionate and the products they sell are made with love and expertise. The Iced Americano was the best iced coffee Ive ever had, and the Peach Iced Tea was lovely. Cannot wait to try the other menu items!
So unbelievably good, cant wait to go back. The bubble teas arent too sweet, the boba is fresh and tasty, the mochi box was amazing, the little cakes omg. The talent of the owner is unmatched. Plus the art is heckin cute! So great to see a small independent business like this in St. Thomas. Wishing I lived closer but it will definitely be a stop every time Im in town.
Best place in St Thomas! Everything is delicious, the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming and they ve got the best customer service you can get! I d recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!! This will definitely be a place I ll be visiting often!!
Very impressed with the bubble tea and deserts! The store is clean and very decorated with very cute artwork as well. Met the owners and they were beyond friendly, cant wait to come back and see what new menu items they have next. Also, be sure to look at their in house art work and other various items for sale, very talented artist!
Update : Hello, Thank you for your response. I know what a pina colada is, thank you. I understand nut milks do not froth the same as milks; but I have had frothy oat lattes before, all good. As for your offer, Ill politely decline. I got to experience your business and I enjoy supporting local shops. All the best. The staff are nice but there is a lack of coffee making skills. My first visit, I ordered a matcha latte and it took a while to make. Also, he had to remake the milk and the milk steaming quality was not as good as one would expect. The latte wasnt even hot. I thought theyd be using milk thermometers. The second visit, we had ordered a mango chai colada. Which was basically milk on ice with a dollop of mango puree. The concept wasnt there and wouldve been better had it been black tea based, wouldve been worth the price. The third time we got an oat latte as it was a safe choice but even then, the milk wasnt steamed well. Im looking for that foamy latte milk which is hard to find in this city apparently. The menu could use some better description. Cute pins and tote bags though!
I tried the strawberry boba and it was the best thing ever, the worker was so nice . Five stars all around
Great customer service and great bubble tea. Best in town!!!
Great place! Super friendly and well done shop
Such a cute little boba shop. Also a lot of merch designed by the owner!
Amazing work and boba
I went in today and got a strawberry chai drink, it was incredible! I told the owner to make me whatever and I was pleased! I purchased two bags for my daughters and two cups. The cups are adorable. I also couldnt resist getting a cute keychain. I will be back, love the atmosphere and I love the product!
Awesome little cafe in the heart of St. Thomas
Jancat Art is a gem. There isnt another place like it in St T. My daughter had the strawberry bubble tea and I had the mango. They were both delicious and looked amazing (should have taken a picture). The atmosphere inside is just all kinds of happy. Its bright and colourful in a cozy way. There isnt a ton of space, but sit down and enjoy it if you can. You might catch them making their own boba in house. They were making a coffee flavoured batch when we arrived. The aroma filled the store. Ill try that one next!
I first fell in love with Jancat Art when Ellen was at the Horton Street Market in St. Thomas! Her stickers are perfect for my journaling. I was thrilled to hear that they opened a permanent storefront. The stickers, hats, sweaters and calendars are really cute and priced reasonably given that they are all handmade. Now Ellen is offering delicious bubble tea and speciality treats! Youve got to stop by if you are on Talbot Street.
Super cute little cafe with delicious boba tea and a wide variety of adorable cat themed art products for sale. Highly recommend stopping in to check it out and grab a drink!
My favorite bubble tea in town!
We love Jancats art pieces and were fans when Ellen sold her work at the market. We were very excited, therefore, when she opened a bricks and mortar store and began selling bubble tea as well. We enjoy bubble tea and hers is some of the best. I also like watching her videos on Instagram, I find them very soothing.
NO SENSE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. The guy who was working there replies very rudely on phone calls and when you enters the store they are ready to argue idk what s wrong with him but he needs to get fired or learn some basic customer service skills . I went there for the first time and never going back again they gave a very good impression on the first visit. WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL OVER CANADA.
Love this café/shop! The family running it are absolutely lovely company to talk to, the atmosphere is very soft and cute and the bubble tea is definitely the best in town compared to other places Ive tried in St. Thomas. You get the bang for your buck. As for the art merchandise, love love love! For anyone that hasnt popped in yet, they have a variety of pins, stickers, memo/sticky pads, rugs, mirrors, hoodies/tops, mugs, tumblers, so on. I personally always end up getting quite a few items here and theyre always adding new merchandise to the store. All of their products are extremely high quality and ridiculously adorable, with great pricing. For those that like dining in, they have a couple of very cozy tables and a bar-like sitting area by the windows. Ive had the opportunity to sit in and I find it very comfortable and cozy if youre working on things, checking stuff out or just want to sit down to relax. Definitely one of those hidden gems in St. Thomas worth looking at if you can make the time for it.
Wow, thats a burst of flavors! - Ana, 5 years old

Absolutely OBSESSED with this cafe after visiting this morning! The black sugar iced boba latte I ordered was perfection, hands down the best boba drink I ve ever had. An awesome little shop and cafe with the kindest staff. Can t wait to go back!
The best shop in town!
This store makes my wife happy.
Now offering bubble tea and coffee! Strawberry chai bubble tea is sooooo good! Such a friendly and welcoming little place
When you look at the quality of the products Ellen sells, you know she wont disappoint with her cafe. Love the Matcha Red Bean bubble tea that she made. Not too sweet and flavours work so well together. Will definitely be back!
The service and atmosphere is fantastic. The americano I had was well made and had great flavour and strength, and my wife s bubble tea was delicious and not too sweet. Ellen and Kirill are so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love this store! Its so nice to see something cute like this pop up in our little town. Not only are the products all cute as heck, they are also super great quality! The vibe in the store is immaculate, and makes you feel safe and cozy. I wish the owners absolutely nothing but the best, and Im excited to see the places this little shop will go!
This shop is a must if you like cats and cute art. The atmosphere is amazing, and the drinks are so good. I will definitely be retuning, and bringing friends from out of town.
I absolutely love this place and its a fabulous addition to St. Thomas! Ive tried many bubble tea places at this point, and this one did not disappoint. Not to mention the products you can buy are super cute, and reasonably priced considering they are original designs! The owners are super friendly and kind. I will definitely be going back again and again.
