Today I ordered two taro slushes and waited 30 minutes. There was only one person working, handling both the cashier and drink preparation. When I saw him making my drinks, he barely added any taro paste--just a thin layer around the cup. I asked him to put all the taro into one cup since there was almost none in mine, and he tried to charge me extra just to add the regular amount that should have been included in the first place. The drinks were tasteless, and the brown sugar pearls were dry because he had run out of brown sugar and was making it while preparing my drinks. When I complained about the drinks being made incorrectly, he offered to remake them--but I couldn't wait another 30 minutes for a drink. I used to be a regular customer, but I've noticed the quality going downhill every time I come. I will definitely be finding another spot for boba. read more

Surprisingly pretty good on our first try. If you follow me I usually go to Vancouver BC for bubble tea and food. I would go to as many boba shops as possible ;). 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 :) read more

I love coming here for a bubble tea every time I'm in the Coquitlam Centre area. It's a grab and go spot with no seating. Parking is limited, but I've never seen the place packed. Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly. If it's your first time here you need to try their brown sugar pearl tiramisu latte. It's so creamy and tastes like you're drinking a tiramisu with perfect chewy pearls. read more

Large Roasted Milk Tea with brown sugar pearls - $7.60 This place is the best bbt in coquitlam!! It was quite busy when we went but I was pleasantly surprised the quality didn't dip. We got the milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice, and it wasn't too sweet! Also had a nice balance of milk and tea (oftentimes I only taste milk). Brown sugar pearls were fresh as they were still warm in the cup, and thus had a perfect chewy texture! read more

Good bubble tea place but beware of long waiting time. The first time I was there, the line was so long that I had to wait for 30 mins to order & another 15 mins get my 1 drink. The second time, I ordered via Uber Eats and it took me more than an hour to get my order. However, the drinks were good though. - Brown sugar tiramisu late: super delicious! Tasted exactly like tiramisu! Creamy, hint of coffee but a tad too sweet (I forgot to request less sweet). - Roasted milk tea: the milk tea was good. The bubbles were chewy and sweet. - Mango milk smoothie with sago: the mango puree was delicious and refreshing! Good combination with the cream on top. - Taro mash milk: very creamy & fresh milk with lots of taro mash bits. Delicious! read more

Got a mango slush (large was around $7.50) to beat the heat, convenient location near the skytrain. It was pretty refreshing though a bit on the sweeter end, fast service despite being on the busier end. Note that the inside waiting area is pretty small! Solid drink spot if you're in the area. read more

My favorite bubble tea place is Inside Out Tea Loft, located near Coquitlam Centre. It's within walking distance from my home, which is a bonus! They make their pearls in-house, and when you walk inside, it's a cozy space with only one table. You can even see the person making the pearls in front of you! My two go-to drinks are the Taro milk tea with pearls and the Ribena lime soda with coconut jelly. They also prepare the drinks very quickly! read more

Finally in the area. I had to wait a bit as I arrived a bit as they were not open yet. Good cause that means I can take my time thinking what to get. I had really high expectation as one of my coworker hyped it up so much, "The best bubble tea I ever had". I ordered large tiramisu. As they just opened, it took them a while as some stuff has not been prepared. Drink was great, cream was very fresh. Pearl was a bit too soft for my liking. It's definitely a subjective thing but I can appreciate it. read more

I was upset to learn that XFT was no longer there! Finally got to try this place and it did not disappoint. If you are in for an adventure, try A1 which is the purple potato brown sugar pearl milk. It is basically a mix of a bunch of fixings like sago, purple potato mash, (maybe) taro mash and brown sugar pearls which sweetened the drink and milk to a nice, not too sweet level. Warning: some people may find it not sweet enough. There is only one sugar level as well. Definitely would recommend this place for bbt in the area! read more

The drinks aren't bad indeed but the customer service and attitude need to be addressed. I don't know if it's a Canadian thing but when you are out an item you nicely apologize! Don't give an attitude and annoyed look to your customers. For 8 bucks a pop, I need some politeness, I'm not paying you with pebbles buddy. By the way who runs out of tea in a tea shop? might as well call it a day and go home. Socialism at its best... read more

One of my favourite bubble tea places in Coquitlam and it's honestly a hidden gem! They have good variety on their menu, offering milk teas, matcha, and fruit teas. They combine fresh milk with handmade pearls that are always warm, soft, and perfectly chewy! I recommend the Brown Sugar Pearl Matcha Latte and Strawberry Latte with Sago. The drinks are perfectly sweet and the matcha is not overly bitter. Personally, I haven't tried anything here that I didn't like! The owner is also really nice and friendly, but prepare to wait 10-15 minutes for your drinks when it's busy (lunch & after school hours- shop is very popular with nearby high school students!) as it's usually only the owner and another employee working. It's also a small shop for take-out only with no seating, so it gets crowded easily when busy so sometimes you'll have to wait outside. read more

Oh Taro, Where have you been? I've been looking for you! I stumbled on this place, which was not far from Oz Korean Cuisine, and let me tell you, personally, I found the EPIC drink for me...Brown Sugar Pearl Purple Potato Taro milk. There are 2 sizes, regular and large (upgrade for $1.00). I also ordered the Mango Milk Smoothie with Sago. I was expecting 2 regulars, overall, I got a LARGE Brown Sugar Pearl Purple Potato Taro milk! They made the large by accident, for the price of the regular. THANK YOU INSIDE OUT! I felt a rush of excitement of the taro going down my throat. Texture is smooth, I highly recommend this drink if you are a Taro Lover. And for the Mango Milk smoothie with sago! An awesome drink. I love Sago, so very good ingredient with the drink. By the way, this place must be very popular because the guy old had enough brown sugar to make my drink. I waited outside until I was called for the pick up. More people came, and I just advised them they had run out of brown sugar, so they were appreciative I gave them a heads up, while the new bubble tea patrons were outside deciding on what drinks to get. read more

Tried out Inside Out Tea Loft in Coquitlam which used to be Xin Fu Tang a while back. They have a pretty diverse and interesting menu including the typical milk teas, fruit teas, matcha lattes, tiramisu lattes, brown sugar milk, and even something called purple potato taro milk. For most of these drinks, the toppings are additional so expect to spend around $6 or more for a large drink with toppings. I find it a little pricey for Coquitlam but it's on par with a lot of the other bbt shops nowadays. Original Milk Tea - Good tea flavour, not too milky - Brown sugar pearls were tasty and I liked the texture but my partner thought they were too chewy Passionfruit Green Tea - Refreshing, fruity drink - Fresh limes were a nice addition - Felt a little watered down especially after the ice melted; would be better with less ice read more

Inside Out is a new bubble tea place in Coquitlam where the old Xing Fu Tang use to be. I decided to try the mango milk smoothie with sago and was pleasantly surprised. It was just the right amount of sweetness and the sago added the right texture to compliment the mango. Definitely interested in coming back and trying the other things on their menu! read more

Reallllyyyy sad to see Xing Fu Tang go, but this place has a similar menu and they make their boba in-house!!!! The boba is so chewy and so fresh-- I was super impressed. I'm definitely looking forward to visit again, since their brown sugar tiramisu latte was so delicious. They also have the option to upgrade to oat milk for an additional cost, which is great for people who want to consume less milk and people who have allergies/dietary restrictions. Definitely coming back!!! read more

Last month, I was notified by that I had won an IG Bubble Tea Giveaway for Inside Out Tea Loft! I enter many IG giveaways and it's always great news when you actually win! Of course, I viewed their menu in advance in preparation of redeeming my prize (two drinks). I also got some great drink recommendations from my coworker (who is a huge fan), which also happen to be their noted popular drinks: White Peach Tea with Milk Cap and Brown Sugar Pearl Tiramisu Latte. The Brown Sugar Pearl Tiramisu Latte really did taste like tiramisu - the resemblance is uncanny. So if you are a tiramisu lover (like me), this drink is for you. Their cups are pretty cool too, says fiancé. read more

I'm not a huge fan of chain bubble tea shops so I was a happy gal to have found a more local small business. Their menu isn't extensive but they do have some popular choices like the trending brown sugar pearl drinks, and interesting options like ovaltine bubble tea. Service is a-okay. I've never had any issues with the staff though they aren't the super friendly type to talk and initiate conversation. Certain drinks can be pricey depending on what you order but usually my two drinks cost about $13-$14 after tax. The texture of the pearls is a little softer than what I prefer but I like that they make their own pearls. HUGE kudos for that! I always appreciate shops that make their own pearls because of the extra time it takes for quality control and frankly, it's nice to know what I'm drinking is 'fresh' and not premade. All in all, one of my new go-to bubble tea places in Coquitlam because of its convenient location and tasty offerings. read more

This place has really hit the ground running. I thought I was going to miss the Xing Fu Tang that used to be in this spot, but the new menu of this place far exceeds my expectations. The owner was really friendly, and took time and care with our order. We ordered a roasted milk tea with brown sugar pearls, a Taiwan fruit tea, and a strawberry latte with sago, basically covering a wide range of different tastes. All 3 drinks were very good, with the set sugar levels of the fruit tea and strawberry latte being manageable and not too sweet. Ordering the roasted milk tea with 50% sugar was perfect and offset with sweetness of the brown sugar pearls, which are FANTASTIC and very chewy. The Taiwan fruit tea was very refreshing and citrusy. The strawberry latte used real fruit and didn't taste artificial. The prices are also not bad and honestly cheaper than other bubble tea stores. I think this might be my go-to place for bubble tea in Coquitlam now! read more

2.5 Unfamiliar with the area but when I looked up bubble tea places nearby, most of them were chain shops. I opted to try a local spot instead and...I regret it. Not sure what all the hype is at all. I ordered a herbal jelly milk tea upsizing to large for an extra $1 ($6.30). It was a harder large chunk of jelly that was quite difficult to drink with a straw only. That wasn't a big deal especially if I hadn't been driving home. I was mainly disappointed by how boring the milk tea was. There was flavour but it tasted like the milk tea you could get at a restaurant with a meal for free. I'd asked if I could do half herbal jelly and half of another topping but the staff told me I'd need to be charged for the extra topping. So I decided not to and am glad I didn't waste my money on what would've been $7 for a boring milk tea. Cups are cute and there are a few designated parking spots. But will opt for a chain shop next time. read more

We ordered 13 bubble teas. They were delicious. Service was amazing. Wish you could seat there and enjoy the drinks there though.

One of the best boba I've ever had ! Tasty, tapioca pearls are soft and delicious, brown sugar is the cherry on top of this drink. Only downside and I really have to say downside is that they are putting way too much ice (see picture) ! I've asked several times to go easy on ice but still same issue each time... This is the only reason why I downgraded them to 3 stars instead of 5! I will put 5 stars once they improve on that issue! read more

Inside Out Tea Loft - Way too much ice! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Friendly staffs and clean space. Small but I usually take it to go anyways. Parking lot outside but a pretty busy parking lot of weekdays. Most time I do delivery and it still tastes the same when I get it. Good flavours and texture. Not the most authentic but unique in their own way. Their sago pearls are super great, they are actually my favourite. One of my favourite bubble tea shop other than tiger sugar and the alley. Yi fang is good but not as good as better anymore. Highly recommend people to try it! read more

Amazing brown sugar boba, warm, sweet and chewy! Probably our new favorite boba place... might have to move to Coquitlam ;) read more

I've been here a couple times, the first time was better I asked for taro milk with no sugar and they made the drink for me but it was still a bit sweet for my liking, the other time I came in and I guess it was a different woman than the last time making the drinks, I'm not sure if it was just a language barrier but I kept having to repeat myself that I just wanted the regular taro milk not the slushie with no sugar but again even with no sugar added I think it was just way too sweet still. They also charge for an extra straw which is kind of weird, or an extra lid. I guess they need to make the extra money somehow since it's a grab and go place and there is nowhere to sit. Never heard of bubble tea places charging for extra straws. The man, who I think is the owner seems nice though. read more
