I ordered French Toast with berries and my partner ordered the Avocado Toast. Her dish was huge and she couldn't finish it. Mine was a little smaller but still quite large. You can definitely find unique breakfast dishes here as both of our orders were different from what other restaurants serve. There are three washrooms rather than the standard two so no waiting is necessary. Overall this was a much better experience than our first visit.

I ordered the iced vanilla latte and garden fresh skillet. The latte was a decent size and not overly sweet. The skillet was a huge portion and contained a lot of vegetables.

They offer a wide range of different juices (~$8 each, but you can score them for lower by getting a multipack) for different purposes so you'll have no problem finding something you like. The lady at the front was extremely friendly and answered all of our questions. She seemed to really know her stuff! The customer service here when I went was very good and it made the experience much more enjoyable. The juice is pricey at $8 a bottle which is what's holding me back from coming again. You also don't get much in a bottle so I don't think it's worth it. However, if juices are your jam or if you're trying a juice cleanse for the first time, you'll definitely love this place.

This bubble tea shop is tucked away in Ellerslie and is definitely worth visiting. The family that…read moreruns this shop are so kind and friendly! The selection of drinks is great and the prices are very reasonable. I have ordered many different drinks and they have all been delicious!

TL;DR: this place is such a hidden gem! Amazing prices and really tasty drinks and food. I…read moreabsolutely adore what they do here! I would definitely say that it is hard to come-by as it is located on a strip mall off Parsons Rd SW which makes it super low-key. During my first visit, I was pleasently surprised by their large selection of flavours. It is definitely a contrast from the small location size. The prices alone speak for themselves; I found them to be super cheap and fair especially when compared to other bubble tea stores. In terms of flavour, their bubble tea are super good and made with care! I have ordered the Mango and Avocado Real Fruit Bubble Tea with Milk and they are both amazing. The prices, again, are super unbeatable and cheap! Personally, I felt that their Tapioca was perfect: it was soft but had a little bit of chewiness. I also felt that the portioning of their tea and tapioca is great and definitely satisfying. The food, on the other hand, is a treat. I love their selection of hot dogs, noodles, and snacks. I have tried the Kare Kare Noodle Soup and it was pretty good as a small meal. Their hot dogs are also pretty delicious! I love the teriyaki sauce that was included in the one I ordered. I think it definitely pairs well with the bubble tea and not to mention their food is very cheap as well. The thing which I always appreciate about coming here is that I always leave satisfied in terms of the overall experience. I absolutely adore their service and friendliness. The lady on the counter was extremely nice and always lent a welcoming smile. The prices are super cheap as well and doesn't break the bank. This definitely encourages frequent visits and I would choose this place before even considering other bubble tea shops like CoCo. In addition, it is a huge plus that this place is a local business and definitely one that I would highly recommend!

Great little bubble tea place located in a strip mall. I've been coming here for a few years now…read moreand overall am usually happy with my drink. They have a pretty extensive bubble tea and drink menu. My go to is the pineapple bubble tea with mango jelly. I've tried other flavours but they just did not do it for me. Depending on what you order prices can be either reasonable or expensive especially if you go for the speciality drinks. The staff is always very kind and friendly. This place can get quite busy at times and you may sometimes need to wait in line for a bit before placing your order. There are a few tables however, most people tend to just grab and go. They also have board games available if you wish to stick around with some friends and play some games. When it comes to food, they have a small menu of items however, they are all deep fried type snacks like calamari, wings, fries, tempura etc. After years of only getting drinks I decided to try the calamari ($7.50). It was alright, 7/10. It comes with a garlic aioli dip which I did enjoy. The calamari is not very big (comes in a 4 inch take out container) therefore, just enough if you're looking for a little snack. Parking can be a bit of a challenge on a busy day as there are only a few stalls in front of the place, that saying, you can park in the strip mall lot and walk over.

Looking for bubble tea in the SouthEast side of YEG? KungFu tea is the place to be! I've actually…read morenever heard of this place, but a friend mentioned it to me & that they've recently had a grand opening. Location is in a neighbourhood stripmall, but it's in very close proximity to an elementary school, Grant MacEwan South Campus & near an ETS bus station, so I can see why it would be there. It does share a parking lot with the other shops there, so parking can be hit or miss. Inside has a lot of seating, no high chairs or change tables that I've seen. But it's clean, modern & has a TV displaying the feature drinks. Menu right now is only drinks, but there was display equipment leading me to believe that there is potential for food in the future?! The drink menu also runs along the lines of Coco's bubble tea where you can choose the level of sweetness & ice that's added to the drink. I ordered 3 of the top 10 drinks...strawberry lemonade with aloe jelly, taro milkshake with Oreo crumbles, and kungfu milk tea with sago. I liked them all and the price point wasn't too bad either. It didn't take them long to prepare & they were friendly & if you need drinks to go they have plastic bags, but also paper tray cup holders. I'm pretty impressed & although it wasn't busy, I can definitely see it getting that way in the summer months, and I'll probably be going back for more soon!

Another Bubble tea franchise with the sugar levelling system you must decide. To be honest I'm not…read morepicky about how much sugar there is so if your one of those people who are strict on your diet or what you intake, this place is definitely for you. I find that their selection is lacking fruity flavours that stand alone such as honey dew or cantaloupe and etc. They have their own pre made selections which is disappointing. The hangout space is big and welcoming but I feel that it's lacking that welcome home to chill and play games. I guess you can chit chat here for a bit but that's pretty much it. Washrooms are well kept, atmosphere is well lit, and staff is friendly. Parking is cramped due to stores nearby. The bubble tea drink is okay, I recommend getting the normal sized tapioca balls because the mini's are weird tasting and more risk for choking. Recommended for anyone looking to try a new bubble tea location but just to try. Unless you live near here it may be your go to spot for a quick fix.

Gluten-free granola is a highlight. This is the first totally safe açai bowl I've had in Canada…read more They use a coconut rather than oat base, so for all my oat-avoidant celiacs out there, this is a pleasant surprise. It's definitely worth considering taking home a bag of this granola. The predominant milk they use in their lattes is oat (gluten free), but alternatives are available. I've tried a couple of the mushroom lattes, and the Chana Charger is my favourite. The lunch bowls are predominantly gluten free or can easily be adjusted to be so. The produce is always fresh, which allows natural flavours of the ingredients to really come through and make their dishes stand out. The location on 104 St is very accessible from downtown, but if you drive, expect to pay a couple bucks for street parking. With an order at the till and sit anywhere system, it is an accessible place to go on your own and/or get some work done. There is also plenty of space to go with a group or meet for coffee. It was a bit pricey, $22 for my açai bowl and latte, but you definitely get what you pay for. And that's what keeps me coming back!

Now I'll be putting that Wednesday in my calendar every month! Their juice concoctions are amazing and I adore the Edmonton landmark themed names! Storefront entrance is small but clean and welcoming. Street parking right out front no problem. On top of the customer appreciation discount (which is for regularly prices items) they also had some extra discounted juice. Summary: Blackmud Creek: charcoal lemonade was sweet and tart Ice District: that ice blue color and coconut meat was such surprise, reminded me of a bubble tea where you gotta chew your drink which I love. Churchill2: probably the husbands favourite as it was made with the rich mans nut: cashews. Very filling and more like a smoothie so it definitely felt like a meal replacement. WEM: so interesting the matcha flavor and Brazil nuts giving it a full, thick creaminess. Yellow head: we got this one for the kid and it was a simple orange juice that he enjoyed. We also tried the recovery and elderberry shots, but these were not as much to our liking. The recovery shot was exceptionally spicy and potent. Bring the bottles back for a little kickback discount onto your next order!

I had a terrible experience with this establishment today. I reached out to the owner after…read morearriving at the location to pick up an order that I had placed today. When I showed up at the store after making a 40 minute drive to the location, I was greeted with hand written sign and closed door. The owner was extremely rude via text to me, telling me that i should just understand that things happen and to expect a refund via a 3rd party app, never once addressing the fact that I wasted so much time, money and otherwise coming in. Only after being told that I'm going to review the experience poorly did she offer to make any sort of resolution but at that point I certainly couldn't trust that the owner wouldn't tamper or taint the product that I was to pick up. The customer service here is appalling, taking a very bold stance of even calling me a liar? Which I truly couldn't understand. I can not stress enough, avoid this location and business. With so many other establishments within Edmonton it would be easy to find a positive experience elsewhere. let's let the power of social reviews teach this owner that proper customer service trumps product or anything else and you can not treat people like this. I'd rate 0/5 if possible. Don't spend a cent here, they don't deserve any community support

The addition of Fresh Healthy Cafe to the Sherwood Park quick bite scene is nothing but a fabulous…read moreaddition! One of the best things about this Cafe is that in addition to nice wraps, good soup and nutritious smoothies and juices, they also serve gluten free, dairy free and vegan selections. The prices aren't the cheapest in town, but you pay for the quality. The hubs was thrilled to discover a huge date/granola/square type bar that is soft, chewy and incredibly filling while still being gluten free AND dairy free. They have also told him they can prepare him a gluten free wrap. The ambiance is light and casual with lots of great art. Check out the huge piece on the middle wall, on the right hand side, facing away from the kitchen. Some say it is interesting, some say creepy but I prefer whimsical. If it was just a bit smaller, I would pack those cute pair of jeans up and take them home with me! The Cafe has expanded twice since they opened - once to add a patio and the second time to more than double their interior seating.

Although scary looking with its bright green colour, I recommend the kale smoothie for a fresh drink. Some of the sandwiches are a bit bland and some, such as the spicy chicken, don't transcribe well to salad. As far as the soups go, I recommend the Spicy Thai Chicken. Although it comes with an extra charge over the regular soups, it is filling and flavourful with a generous portion.
