You can get drinks in 2 sizes and choose the amount of ice and the sweetness level, which is pretty cool. Although, do you need ice in your bubble tea. I ordered peach black tea, but it had an off taste, almost floral. It was very expensive It was almost $7 for a small drink. The service was really good. They were friendly and helpful. I think I would go back here, due to the convenience of the location. Is it better than any other bubble tea Cafe? No.

The strawberry kanten jelly milk tea had an okay taste but the consistency was a kinda curdy. I would not recommend ordering this drink.

cha yuan in yaletown, located at 1223 pacific boulevard is a quiet, understated taiwanese bubble…read moretea shop that's worth a visit if you're in the area. the space feels calm and pared back, with concrete floors, warm hanging lights, and a large hand painted mural of fruit trees and distant mountains. it's clean and uncluttered, with a few stools overlooking the roundhouse, making it easy to stay for a bit. i tried the iced strawberry matcha latte with oat milk, no sugar and no toppings. the drink came with noticeable chunks of strawberry puree at the bottom, pretty with its green, white and red layers, which mixed in easily and tasted closer to strawberry jam than fresh fruit. it added a soft, natural sweetness and tartness that balanced the drink without overpowering it. the matcha itself was subtle and smooth but didn't have the depth or brightness of higher quality matcha, so while it was enjoyable, it wasn't a standout. cha yuan focuses on premium teas sourced from taiwan and avoids powdered milks and syrups, making it a healthier choice than many other bubble tea shops. prices are reasonable, especially for yaletown, and the shop works well as a low key stop for a drink and a bubble waffle while wandering the area. they offer eight flavors of bubble waffles, a wide range of drinks including milk tea, fruit tea, smashed lime, fruit slush, brewed tea, latte slush, cheese foam, smoothies, the bubbly tea series, matcha, tea lattes, specialty hot drinks, and a variety of toppings. for extra fun, there's a pokémon vending machine ($1 per play), and if you're a collector, they will even buy your pokémon cards. the shop also has an all day special (limited time only) of taiwanese minced pork on rice for $9.99. overall, cha yuan isn't a destination for matcha purists, but it's a pleasant, clean, and calm spot to grab a drink, enjoy a bubble waffle, and soak in the yaletown vibe.

We're huge fans of boba poppers. It's just such a cool sensation when those tiny little spheres burst open and release all that juicy sweetness in your mouth. While both drinks were delicious, we agreed that the Popping Blue Moon was our favourite. As far as I know, these drinks are only available at a few select stores in Richmond and Surrey. I hope they'll start offering it at other locations too though. Already a Coco Fresh Tea & Juice fan but these drinks are my favourite out of all the drinks I've ever tried from any of the Coco Fresh Tea & Juice stores!

I absolutely love the magenta pink colour and the tropical aroma of the drink. The drink was made with real Pitaya (Red Dragon Fruit), passion fruit seeds, and honey jelly.

Brown sugar pearls were fresh as they were still warm in the cup, and thus had a perfect chewy texture!

This place is definitely on our comeback list. We tried the roasted milktea and ribena lime soda. Both were pretty good. Only downside is the location is kinda weird with parking in the side back with other shops . And limited parking around the area. For out of town people like us it could be a bit challenging finding Parking. We were lucky to find a spot in the back. I feel like that's the issues with a lot of Asian malls with restaurants and shops. But I highly recommend this boba place if you're always on the hunt for good milktea places no matter where you traveling to :)
