Came by on a Thursday late night craving with a groups of friends. Haven't been to a Bubble Works in years. Good location and ample seating inside. Quiet around 11:00 pm but it got busier as more people came in for take out. They participate in the skip the dishes so that's a plus if you're loookijn for delivery. There's not many bubble tea places open late in Vanc. Tried the Japanese green milk tea with bubbles with 30% sugar. Tasted fine but as you get to the bottom of the drink you could really taste the coffee mate powder that was used. Bubbles were decent but not soft / fresh batch. Others in my group tried the wheat germ milk tea, green tea ice cream smoothie, and strawberry slush. Overall average location of local bubble tea chain.

Traditional Taiwanese Three Sauce Chicken ($8.95 + $2.50 for two sides and bowl of rice).

Bubble world is definitely a place if you are looking for inexpensive dishes. Now I haven't been here in the last year or so now and it looked like the restaurant had a renovation, as well as a new sign out front. It definitely looked more modern and sort of like pearl castle. There were four of us at 8:45 PM and we probably had to wait for about 5-10 minutes for a table. I ordered a passion fruit green tea (half sweet, less ice; $4.25), and the Traditional Taiwanese Three Sauce Chicken ($8.95), which I paid an extra $2.50 to make it a combo with two side dishes and a bowl of rice. Even though I ordered a half sweet for my passion fruit green tea, it was still a little too sweet for me. Other than that, it had a strong passion fruit flavour. I think the cups that they served the bubble tea in are slightly bigger than those at other bubble tea shops. I could be wrong though, but for $4.25 for a simple powder based passion fruit green tea was a little too pricey when the average price range for the drink is usually around $3.75. Maybe that is why I am trying to justify it by saying the cup is larger..I thought their food was cheaper than their drinks, as the food items were better in quality. I was always used to having my three cup chicken more pan-fried without any liquid. But the one at Bubble World had more sauce and not as crispy. Although it tasted good, the dish only had around 10 pieces of chicken. There were quite a few of tiny broken bones resulting from not cutting the pieces clean. The two side dishes I had were celery and wood-ear mushroom, and spicy (and saucy) cabbage and deep-fried tofu. I wasn't a fan of the latter one because the sauce tasted weird to me. However, I did like the celery and wood-ear mushrooms as it was light and refreshing. Overall, service could definitely be improved upon. The servers looked like they were mad at the whole world. But they did fill our water without having us hunt them down for it. They gave us the bill even though we weren't done with our drinks yet. The restaurant clearly had slowed down with no one waiting for a table. I didn't understand why we were rushed to pay.

My boyfriend and I had Bubble tea from Bubble World last week. We had a great experience at Bubble World. I ordered Peach Green Tea and he had Blueberry white chocolate milk tea. We arrived at the Bubble World after the dinner time. It was not busy in the restaurant. We didn't even wait for long. We got our bubble tea fast. My peach green tea was sweet and fresh icy. The Blueberry white chocolate milk tea was very creamy and sweet. Both of the drinks were around $4 each, which were not too expensive. We love them.

this is where you order

I went to this "franchise-like" bubble tea joint, to pick up a regular milky tea. This is one of the original locations that I often come to, and it is one of the more convient ones. No little chinese snacks, just strictly drinks at this location, unlike the one up the block near Metrotown. Acouple points that I have deducted, and they are very minimal, to people who have gone to Bubble World over the years, they do not accept the stamp card anymore. So any drinks you were expecting to get for free from your filled up cards will have to go to the garbage. Also they still are a "Chinese" place, which means = CASH ONLY. They did renovate this location, and there is free Wi-Fi internet, so a minor plus. Other than that, it's still the old Bubble World that I have grown up on.

Went for a late night treat with my boyfriend! I've been coming to this location for just over 10 years now and have never had a bad experience. Staff are always friendly and knowledgable, they also have very good tea suggestions to first time customers. This location has been re-modeled at least 3 times in the last decade and currently looks it's best. It's casual but classy at the same time, has a very open and clean look and feel. Only place I will ever get bubble tea from because their fruit is fresh and not powder and the pearls and jelly are made fresh every day and not from a jar like 99% of places in Vancouver. If it's your first time trying bubble tea I would highly suggest this establishment, You will not be disappointed!

Shave Ice
PennyandRusty P.

Ah... Bubble World! Is there anything as refreshing as a cool bubble tea on a hot summer day? What about Shave Ice? Yup, I'm just going to drop this right here and let you drool a bit. Plenty of fresh fruit here on top of the shaved ice. Check out our last post here. Bubble World has a number of other locations in the Lower Mainland and not all of them carry the same menu items.

Peach slush, Pineapple, strawberry and Matcha.

My first time trying this place I've seen it all over Instagram. However, I'm vegan and don't consume dairy so I got the slush. It was just like a slurpee in my opinion. Also the waitress made us force tip and I don't think she gave us the correct change. It's still a fun place to try with friends!

This location is great. It's usually kinda packed but I've never waited that much for a seat. Their food is pretty good and reasonably priced. What I enjoy here is their bubble tea! If you're dining it then they give you a pretty generous amount (I can never finish it), and you can always take it home. Their beef brisket on rice and Chinese pancakes are my favourite!

Avocado/papaya milk, no sugar, plus aloe - $5.50

Same delicious tea as the one downtown but slightly cheaper I believe. It's less crowded than the other options on Kingsway and thus much more pleasant to sit inside. They have a stamp card that is used exclusively for this store. Will be back if in the area.

5 item shaved ice: Papaya, Watermelon, Strawberry, Green Apple Jelly, Mango Stars

I've been here a long time ago for their bubble tea. At the time, they seemed like the latest and greatest place to get it, but with many other alternatives now available, it's fallen a lot lower on my list. Was actually looking for a place that served shaved ice for dessert today, and given that I didn't realize Icy Bar didn't open until much later that afternoon, I decided to give Bubble World a shot. The shaved ice comes out to be 7.60 and comes with your choice of 5 toppings. I ordered strawberry, watermelon, papaya, green apple jelly and mango stars. Although the watermelon was ripe, the papaya and strawberry definitely tasted like it could have been left to ripen a smidge longer. The stars and apple jelly were fine though. The price is pretty comparable to other places around, though if you're looking for fruit toppings, maybe those other places might do a bit better.

Bubble World was one of the, if not, the first real popular bubble tea establishment around the city. Unfortunately, other bubble tea shops have surpassed them in both quality and value (Bubble World does not use the stamp cards anymore, too bad). We'd only come back if we were absolutely craving bubble tea and nothing else was open.

Kensington-Cedar Cottage

I came across this cafe on google search and decided to try it out with a couple of my friends on…read moreour girls coffee It is a small cozy cafe split with a florist. Selections are decent. however the menu is very confusing as they have a posted menu online, a digital menu via QR code and some posted menus. Unfortunately the menus were not in sync. My friend saw a couple of things she wanted to try from the online menu and was told they do not have those items. There are combo on the spot which are not their online menu and the digital menu. We ordered the chicken panini, a small mango bingsu and an order of tue mochi bubble waffle and taro milk tea. The food is very good. there is decent amount of ingredients in the chicken panini (which i forgot to take a picture of). The mochi bubble waffle was decent and i liked the taro milk tea as well. The bingsu was very well made but the price is a bit on the high end given the size. Overall service was good too

A fun hole in the wall dessert spot x flower shop!…read more Essentially there's a dessert counter in a shared space with a flower shop operated by the one owner - super adorbable concept, the boss was so nice to introduce his menu to us as well! Located on the same block as quite a few other popular HK dessert spots, I more inclined to go to Rose Cafe because it's quieter and a more comfortable environment to relax and sit around in. The boss mentioned they can make anything for us (!) including ginger milk, the sago desserts and that they event have the pistachio paste (yum!). For a quick dessert run - I opted for the small mango shaved iced, it's served with nice and ripe mango chunks, and a fresh mango shaved ice base. For just about $10 it's worth the dessert stop! They had a nice menu of several classic HK items - from deep fried chicken wings, to bubble waffles to pearl based drinks that only HK locals would order. Worth a try if and when you're in the Nanaimo / Kingsway area! Also (!) - very reasonably priced flowers and potted plants!!!

Golden Village

Overall good drinks, but customer service is a little sub par. I asked a few questions and got some…read moreshort answers, seems like only one person working the entire store. He rang us up, then ran behind curter to make our drinks. It didn't seem too busy here so maybe it was manageable for him. Typically all sold out of the mochi... was actually sold out of a lot of items (see picture of menu) No public bathroom or bathrooms available to customers. Located in strip mall with other businesses, parking is free.

This is one of the better boba spots I have tried in Richmond where they have some creative drinks…read moresuch as the ones with panna cotta and mochi. I personally tried the cheese foam black tea with mochi and golden pearls which costed close to 10CAD. The cheese foam was slightly salty and pretty creamy, and the taste is much more pronounced when you dip the plain mochi into the drink. The mochi itself was slightly soft though a bit uneven in texture as some parts are chewy and some parts are already a little bit dry. I do like they nicely wrapped the mochi in a plastic bag to preserve the moisture, though I ended up trying it out immediately to get the maximum freshness. The tea itself is flavorful and not too sweet, which is what I intended because I opted for light sugar (30%). The golden pearls were pretty chewy and are the right preferred texture. While I liked the general quality of the drinks, like other reviews mentioned, the price of the drinks are a bit on the higher end but the quality did not really scale up compared to a good boba spot.
