This spot was our go-to bubble tea place when my girlfriend used to live nearby. Ever since we…read morefound out how affordable their drinks were, we couldn't stop coming back!  Before what is now called Slothful, this place was always known as Teaspressu. Ran by a wholesome couple and their child, many people who came by would take pictures and post them long before social media became the norm. Then the pictures would be displayed on the wall, which was very community-friendly! Now that they have merged with Slothful, the price and service have remained the same, still with the same wholesomeness, just with a new look.  They even offer hand-made ice cream now! It sure did add to the Bingsoo they were known for. We were truly blown away by their bingsoos, as they were smaller than regular and affordable. Instead of spending $15+ for a bowl of bingsoo that you'd fill your stomach with, you can spend less and just have them as a snack!  After expanding their store with brand new renovations, they now look fresh and perfect for young people to hang out with. We will continue to visit every time we get a chance to!

Summer heat can be so exhausting but on the upside it's a great excuse to indulge in delicious cool…read moretreats!  From its humble beginnings as a bubble tea food truck, Teapressu went on to open a store where they sell their refreshing bubble tea drinks, and now ice cream as well. The interior of their store is quite whimsical, with all the sloth themed decor. Plus, they even have a claw machine that you can play. It's such a fun place! Their ice cream is freshly churned and you can see it churning continuously throughout the day. It's mesmerizing and I could stand at the counter for quite some time, watching the ice cream churn if it weren't for other people coming into the store, wanting to place their orders! The ice cream flavors they have number less than 10, but they are all wonderful flavors and we were impressed with the quality of the flavors that we tried. The flavors they had when we went were as follows: Rich Black Sesame, 2 Shots Espresso, Premium Earl Grey, Supreme Oolong, Uji Matcha, Creamy Mango with bits, Hokkaido "Milk", abd Very Strawberry. We ordered Premium Earl Grey and Uji Matcha ice cream, along with their Golden Peach drink. Yum, yum, and yum! While I love a tasty drink I think my love for ice cream is greater, and the ice cream we had at Teapressu was exquisite. The Uji Matcha flavor was very pronounced and while Earl Grey is a flavor that tends to be very much absent in a lot of desserts I've tried, I could actually taste the Earl Grey flavor this time in their Premium Earl Grey ice cream.

Don't bother with the taro milk tea as it does taste a bit powdery. Maybe they didn't mix it as well. But generally I prefer real taro and this version is just not very good. I like how the $3.99 selected drinks are now available the whole day when previously it was only during their "happy hour". This makes it an affordable treat when you want a cold drink. There are seats here but I think most people just buy and go. Street parking is available right outside.

My 10 year old daughter decided she wanted to treat us to some bubble tea out of her own pocket…read more She's been offering to chip in or even treat us completely with her own money ever since she was about 4 years old. I truly believe that we won the "baby lottery" because our daughter is sweeter, kinder and more generous than I could have ever imagined she might be. So, when I saw that Xing Fu Tang had an all day, everyday Happy Hour menu, I decided I would stick with that menu and save my sweet girl a few extra dollars since she was being so kind as to treat Mommy out of her own wallet. While she bought herself the ever so fancy Bunny Jelly Mango Smoothie, I ordered a Passionfruit Green Tea with Lychee Coconut Jelly from the Happy Hour menu. Two thumbs up to both drinks, and I know from previous visits that they do very nice brown sugar pearls for anyone who's a brown sugar pearl fan.The store is clean, bright and spacious with several tables well spaced apart from each other.

A place that focus on the tea. If you want to try a bubble tea with not a regular black/green tea…read morebut something different with higher quality of tea, this is the place. They often listed the name of the tea they have, like gold oolong, osmanthus oolong, da hong pao (rock tea) or recently, new phoenix dan cong tea. They also have tea cube as one of the topic as their signature. The menu is often small and focused, with a little bit of each type: fruit tea, milk tea and others. The sweetness level of my preference here is 25% sugar and 100% ice, but not all can be adjusted and I never have a drink that's too sweet here.

Food: 2.5/3 Service: 1/1…read moreAmbiance: 0.5/1 Convenient location if you're shopping at Metrotown and want to stop for some Bubble Tea. There's no tables or anything, just a large standing space and chairs on the side to sit at while you wait for your drink. The drinks offered are your standard options - nothing particularly special or that stands out. Overall a solid place to grab bubble tea for wandering the mall, but not really a place to go to if you want to be able to sit down or relax or try anything special you can't get elsewhere.

Birthday came and went, but no birthday drink appeared for me on the app. I suspect it's one of…read morethose things where they want you to have made some purchases within a certain number of days or weeks before your birthday, and then they would place the bday freebie into the app for you. Not as fun as something that just appears for free cuz it's your bday but also, very understandable in this day and age. Will make sure to place some orders closer to my bday next year! Anyways, was super thirsty and needed a drink after lunch. For some reason, cold Milk tea was on my mind so we ended up here at Coco and ordered a Milk tea with less ice, 50% sweetnes and no pearls. Very nicely done as usual. Found the sweetness level was excellent which makes me think 100% would have definitely been too sweet. I like that we were able to customize the drink on the app. Most drinks on the menu seem to have toppings in them by default. Good to know that you aren't obliged to get toppings and that you can choose your drink without toppings.

Located right across the street from a small park, it actually faces a small view of "green open space" and was a fine spot to escape from the heat. It's also right next to Gaya and a convenient stop after dinner for drinks, with free WiFi & plenty of free non metered street parking.

We dropped in on a Friday evening (around 9:45pm) and were the only ones inside. The menu consists of fresh milk, milk tea, cheese fruit tea, fresh fruit tea, cold brew and two desserts (bubble waffle and taiyaki). Drink prices range from $6.00 to $7.80. - Matcha bubble waffle ($5.50) - decent but several parts of the waffle were overdone. - Fruit tea ($7.00) - 50% sugar, easy ice and added taro balls ($1.25). Balls were decent but not too taro-y. Tea flavour was okay. Think YiFang's fruit tea version is better. - Taro bobo ($7.30) - drink comes with taro balls but J also added pearls ($0.75). Drink was okay but it took him a long time to finish it. Nothing particularly memorable about It Tea.

I got my favourite drink, the Rooibos Frappe made with Yogurt. Also ordered the A la Capresse Sandwich which was a croissant sandwich filled with fresh spinach, pickled tomatoes, and tender pesto bocconcini cheese. Usually I order some kind of Spinach Feta, or Spinach Ricotta croissant sandwich but they had this A la Capresse Sandwich instead, and I was happy to try something new. The A la Capresse was delicious. I hope they keep it around cuz I think I like it better than the one with Spinach in it. Both versions have some kind of cheese in it but I think the pickled tomatoes somehow feel fresher and lighter in my stomach than the spinach.

They're offering more than gelato such as cakes, milkshakes and coffee. They have limited flavors of gelato but flavors change every 2 weeks. We had the ice creem cookie with Biscoff and Nuttela and Oreo and Mini Eggs and they're really good. You have to scoop the extra ice screen before consuming the cookies part. They also have a rewards points system and all you have to do is enter your phone # and you'll received a text message. Can't wait to go back here and try another gelato.
