They also offer classes on the regular to educate people on holistic topics and healthy eating! We will be coming back!

I used to buy a Turkey wrap along with my shake, but they don't carry that one anymore, so now I only buy Big Blue. Prices on their other products, drinks and snacks are a bit too high, but I happily pay $7 for my drink and will keep going.

But so so many bubble tea choices it's a bit overwhelming, but fun to pick and try to decide! The…read moregal working was helpful with recommendations as well which I always appreciate. Sometimes bubble tea places are slammed but when we arrived it wasn't too busy, but the longer we stayed the more people arrived! Not much for seating, definitely a pick up and take out kind of place. I like being able to pick regular or a jumbo size, plus options with amounts of sugar/sweetener and ice amounts! They had some seats still and a fun photo op spot. BUT absolutely no public washrooms! What we tried: New Red mango coconut Pearl coolers - amazing! With fresh mango this one was my absolute fav for flavor Yamtaro mochi milk tea - really interesting, with a classic milk tea kind of flavor. Fun to try different mochi/pearls. Kyoto Matcha cheesecake - rich and thick. Had a nice matcha flavor as well

Out of the four bubble tea stores in Red Deer, Bestea is my second favourite choice. It's…read moreconveniently located in downtown, but this also means it can be a sketchy venture at night. I do appreciate that they are open later however (10pm on weekdays, 11pm on weekends, 9pm on Sunday) for those late-night boba cravings! Their interior is very inviting but it is a smaller space with a few tables and a counter to sit down at. The back of the store has a backdrop, ring light, and phone holder for those looking for a mini photo session while waiting for your drinks! The simple reason that they are not my top pick is because I've had a fair share of not-so-great flavours while exploring their selection. Many of their blends that use strawberry tastes like the artificial powder stuff vs. real fruit, and leaves a gritty mouthfeel. I've tried many of their seasonal featured drinks as well and have been left feeling disappointed more than impressed. On the other hand, their milk brulee and cheesecake series have been really good! I also enjoy their fresh avocado latte. Their pearls have also been inconsistent, sometimes being overcooked and other times, too chewy. We've also visited when they ran out of their tapioca but we were still charged full price for our drinks. This is why I think they are deserving of a 3/5 as they have a mix of great, mediocre, and not so great drinks.

We drove out to the Fallen Timber Meadery on an August afternoon, approx 1 hr NW of Calgary. The…read moredrive is very beautiful, but make sure you have the final directions available prior to leaving Hwy 22, as network connectivity is intermittent. There are detailed directions on their website and signs along the road, but it is pretty secluded and we still took a wrong turn. I'm not sure how accessible it would be in the winter without a 4x4. When we arrived at the meadery, we were offered samples of the various available meads. They were all fresh and very delicious, and we bought several bottles to bring camping with us (although they are also available at various liquor stores in Calgary). We then took a tour, which was very laid back and informative, and was given by the owner who brews the mead. We were shown the equipment, and the entire process was very well explained with many anectodes. At this time, there is no food served at the meadery. I highly recommend a visit!
