They both have strong flavors & distinct taste but if you look at the photo you can tell it does have matcha but you can't taste it. Their Thai tea was ok, had an off taste to it, I didn't taste the taro bc it was for my niece but she liked it. I did finish the drink bc I don't like to waste, but If I'm in the area, I'll definitely check this place out again and try something else. Ps, they have 3 different cup sizes which is great for people who want to try out drinks instead of buying a full size cup of boba drink.

Walking in on a Saturday afternoon, the place was quite crowded with a line at the cash register, but for some reason no line at the order kiosk. When I visited, there was a interesting Korean build-your-own instant ramen shop in their soft opening phase in the shop connected to (and only enterable from) Softea. Assam Black Milk Tea, Regular Size, 50% Sweet, Less Ice, Non-Dairy Creamer w/ Boba ($7.20) - The milk tea has a good body and is shaken until foam develops on the surface. The Assam tea base tastes fruity, almost a bit like plum, mixed with plenty of malt essence. It's not too sweet at half and is generally good to drink. The boba is a little firm for my tastes, but is mostly acceptable. The pearls are smaller than normal boba, not mini sized, but probably could expand a bit more with more boil and soak time. They do have good, consistently smooth exteriors. Note: Less ice is still a lot of ice Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 Softea serves some decent boba. I wish they put in a little less ice, but there are certainly worse options in Vancouver. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

We were there as the last 4 of the first 100 customers so we got the goodie bags, cute jar of milk tea and some croc charms and keychain, no more stickers. Line got busy quickly and they did a 40% discount today as well. They did forget 2 out of 7 of our beverages so while we were waiting for all our drinks they just spaced out and forgot and continued on with processing more orders. So our other 2 tests didn't come until 20-30 mins later. I would say as they continue on with their business and get the hang on it will be better. Always room for improvement! would recommend letting them know if you've been waiting for more than 10 minutes to remind them as they're very busy with processing walk in orders and takeaways like uber eats etc. Very cute decor and it has very limited seating and space to stand to wait inside. Parking lot is shared with other shops and businesses nearby. Ordered their original bubble waffle as they're out of icecream or there was some technical issues so it doesn't work well. I custom made my drink as I sampled their rose milk tea and really loved the rose aroma but wanted refreshing drink on a hot day like today. I ordered paradise fruit tea with fresh fruits like a passion fruit seed, chia seed, strawberry, lemon/lime and watermelon etc and added a hint of rose syrup with extra jasmine green tea and had it overall less sweetened from other sweeteners. It came out perfect! Would recommend giving it a try if you like rose scent and flavor and enjoy a good fruit tea. we also got a galaxy drink, avocado blended shake, taro blended shake, peach lemongrass tea, sugar cane drink and my fruit tea. would come again for sure when in area, very cute place!

Pros: good mochi donuts & banh mi, great variety of drinks!…read more Cons: service has been very very hit or miss. Have been here a handful of times and usually treat it as a banh mi + sweet treat moment, but gosh the last interaction/experience made me not want to return. I placed an online order because I had a flight to catch later and wanted to be able to pick up a quick banh mi on the way. I arrived the scheduled time and they hadn't seen the order or even started working on it. It seemed like there may have been a tech issue or error, so eh I was fine with waiting. They did throw in a mochi donut for my wait/issue which was nice. However....it just snowballed from there. They handed me my drinks and sandwiches and I was just out the door when I looked in the bag and realized they had forgotten the vegetarian banh mi I had ordered myself -- this would have been very unfortunate since I'm vegetarian and the other two in the bag were pork. I had to wait even longer, a second time, for this order to be completed and really felt like it'd been a waste of time to try and schedule the order. Because of all of the delays, I had a very limited amount of time to eat and it honestly soured my experience overall. The teas are fine but not my favorite in the area and sadly after my last visit, I'm going to search for a new banh mi spot for bites.

The restaurant was empty, but an employee came to the register as soon as I entered. I selected two of the Chinese New Year flavors, black sesame and mandarin orange. I loved the tart citrus flavor of the orange, but the sesame was just okay. The donuts were a little on the greasy side in my opinion, I've had better. The restaurant itself is clean and organized with a fun sitting area and even some games.

My daughter chose blended mango (no dairy) and I chose blended taro. I believe with a non-blended you can choose a nondairy alternative. We got it with the boba. We love it. It was so refreshing. The only thing I wish you could do is choose what level of sweetness you wanted. We will go back. The service was nice. if you're at Vancouver mall go get a refreshing Boba tea.
