Sweet 7 is still one of my go-to spots whenever I want something refreshing but also a little…read moreindulgent. My favorite is their Creamy Mango Pomelo Sago--it honestly feels like a dessert and a drink in one. The mango flavor is rich and natural, and what I really like is that when I order 70% sugar, it's mostly just the natural sweetness from the mango--no extra sugar needed. It tastes clean, not overly sweet, but still very satisfying. Every sip has a mix of textures--juicy mango chunks, bits of pomelo, and soft sago--plus that creamy foam on top that ties everything together. This time, I also tried their Cherry Blossom Food Fest menu, specifically the Strawberry Coconut Bliss. It's refreshing with a slight tang from the strawberry, and the coconut adds a creamy, tropical touch. I really liked the coconut chunks--it makes the drink feel more like a treat rather than just a regular fruit tea. Overall, Sweet 7 is one of those places you can rely on for quality drinks that feel a little extra special.

I decided to try a different boba place. Especially since Macu is no longer across the street…read more Ordered the kale boost and the brown sugar milk tea. The kale with chia was so refreshing, and the milk tea was just as delicious. You can tell the boba was fresh, it wasn't hard to where you can choke. It was made just right. They didn't look busy, only a couple of us in store. But from the looks of it they had a counter full of orders. So it took my drink between 5-6 minutes to make. Place was cute and clean . Love the logo also

My sister said "oh, we have Heytea in OC, so we'll pass." Pfft, she missed out! We got 2 brown sugar milk teas and 3 coconut mango booms... all with reduced sugar. THEY WERE A HIT AND HIT THE SPOT! First, everything was so fresh. Holy moly, you could just taste it all. I'm not a foodie and food is just calories to me - means to an end. When I get a nice drink like this, I usually gulp it down and cannot understand why my wife takes 2-3 hours to drink a similar drink. HOWEVER, I took my time over the next 2 hours to enjoy it! I absolutely loved the hint of tea in my mango drink. Wow, that's all I can say. Second, the place is newer and the ambiance is so purposeful, clean, professional, and uplifting. They really put the tea up-front-and-center... a nice homage to the heart and soul of "tea parlors" from long ago. We would, hands-down, recommend the place and would go again.

A Whole Mango is in the T&T food court, which means there's a large (but busy) shared parking lot…read more Even though there may be quite a few people in line, the crew keeps the drinks moving and we didn't wait longer than 10/15 minutes even on a Saturday afternoon. If you're a mango lover, this place is an easy home run. We opted for the mango slush and the mango is perfectly ripe and sweet. Pricing is about 8 CAD a drink, but with that amount of mango, it feels like a steal. Caveat: we did go during mango season, so maybe this experience changes throughout the year.

This place used to be the best. Was so good. It's gone downhill every time I come here. They keep…read moreputting less mango each time. I always get the 4 mango drink special. This time is the worst. I saw them adding water from sink to mix. Taste so watered down. No wonder all the long lines there is all gone. The worst part is I saw them use frozen mangos that is fibrous instead of the smooth fresh mangos they used to use. Quality went down so much and finally not coming here anymore. Better to raise price a bit then keep adding more water and less mangos. I just saw a fb post with pictures of rotten mango boxes from this place.

A large size goes for $9.85 after tax now though... yikes! It used to taste better so I think they changed their recipe a bit (less coconut and mango flavor) but it's still good. No comment on their other drinks since I haven't tried others. Stamp card is available for a free drink after 8 purchases. And they accept credit card (for the Aberdeen food court, this is not common)!

Conveniently located inside Aberdeen Centre, which made it an easy stop right after dim sum…read more We ordered the Pina Colada and the Banana Strawberry Smoothie with Mango Jelly. The strawberry banana drink was perfect - smooth, flavorful, really sweet. The Pina Colada, on the other hand, missed the mark. It tasted more diluted than expected and lacked that rich, tropical punch. A small perk they do offer are stamp cards (buy 10 drinks, get 1 free). Overall, I do feel like the drinks here lean a bit heavy on artificial sweetness compared to fresh fruit flavor, which holds it back slightly.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE When at Yaohan, Fresh Elements might be…read moreyour best best for milk/lemon teas while Juice King on the other side of the food court might be your best bet for fruit/smoothie-based drinks. === 2. FOOD Hong Kong-style Milk Tea ($3.09): well-priced, decent tasting. It's not the "sock" tea per se from the alleys of Hong Kong, but quite passable, especially for the price! Lemon Tea ($3.29): not sure if lemons cost more (to justify the extra 20 cents lol) but the tea is solid. Mango Milk ($4.74 not incl toppings): thick and rich with flavor without tasting artificial - it seems to use real fruit, but the cost adds up quickly when you start to add toppings (making Juice King a better option). === 3. SERVICE & ENVIRONMENT It's simply a takeout stand in the food court, so the service is as good as you need it to be in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. The speed of service varies, as it seems like there is one lady working in the day and two ladies working in the late afternoons/evenings. The food court allows for wheelchairs and baby strollers to fit easily; the Yaohan parking lot affords for plenty of parking (during this COVID pandemic).

The lady who served us only spoke Chinese and there was a bit of confusion when my husband tried to tell her in English that I wanted Red Date Longan Wolf Berry Tea. Luckily he does speak Chinese as well. When he realized she didn't understand the English words, he used a combination of Chinese and pointing to the board behind her, indicating which item on the board I wanted. Didn't help though that it was one of those menus where the screen changes every few seconds! Highly recommend that you only order from this place if you or someone in your party speaks Chinese! I loved the liquid part of my drink. Red Date Longan drinks are something I have come to appreciate since marrying my husband. This particular drink though had big chunks of dried up stuff in it. I wished they hadn't put that into the cup. The liquid part was great but I really didn't care for the chunky stuff in my cup.

I think it was brand new and the owner was eager to please. This time, the ladies didn't speak any English at all. They couldn't understand what I was ordering. I had to repeat it 4 times ( twice to each of them ) then one had to come around to the board so I could point out what I wanted. The total was 5.49 she said but only gave me back 14$ from my 20$ . I guess she either can't do math or decided to round up, or do a self gratuity. I am waiting now to see how it is, it seems to be taking awhile since I am almost done this review, and it still isn't ready. Ok I got it and it is very very bland : ( I don't think I'll go out of my way to come here again. Perhaps that's why they have a "Help Wanted" sign ...

I'm confused because the name of the juice bar is "Natural Infusion" but when I asked for my drink…read moreI saw her open the cupboard and there were bottles of syrup with most of their flavours. So, I am bewildered as to what is so "natural" about their drinks as it is clearly made from artificial flavours. Prices has changed. All went up up to almost $7 for a large drink. There are also signs that they charge extra for utensils. The cashier could barely understand English and had asked me to repeat my order twice and tried to sell me a large when I asked for a regular. Will not come back again.

We had a vegan and an Atlantic Salmon bowls. They both tasted so good. The combinations of everything just went together perfectly. The right sized pieces of salmon and toppings along with the right balance of rice or salad (or both). Their sauces are so flavorful. I really enjoyed it.

The kids loved watching them make the rolled ice cream. They went above and beyond with providing us extra seats for our group. Since we were the last customers for the day, they even offered us waters to go with our ice cream. The ice cream itself was flavorful and delicious.

It was a little pricey but it's fun watching them roll it up and there aren't many other ice cream places around.
