The pricing here is similar to the original Hong Kong one which is quite pricy but hey it's a nice treat yourself kind of place The aesthetic of the restaurant is quite cute and the tables are a nice marble white colour which makes the mango related items pop out I ordered one of their signature mango drinks with aloe and it was delicious

I remember years ago when I first stepped into a real Chinese bakery. Actually, it was probably…read morethe first time in any real authentic Chinese place. I grew up in Scarborough (yes...Scarberia, Scarlem, ...blah) and Chinese food was your standard sweet and sour chicken balls, fried rice, egg rolls and fortune cookies. Thank the Lord that I went to UofT in downtown Toronto. It was an education in people, places, and things!!! I got to experience many flavours of Asia. Especially food from different parts of China and surrounding countries. It was wonderful, but I never liked was their desserts. Always found it artificial tasting, lacking in basic amounts of butter, milk, sugar, even technique. I didn't expect much walking to Hui Lau Shan, however, the business has done a wonderful job of modernizing and making the shop comfortable. Numerous seats and bench for you to plop yourself down and enjoy a meal on tables that have been made by one of the staff's significant other. Fun fact! It turns out that this is a chain from a famous dessert place back in Hong Kong. Here is a wiki on them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_Lau_Shan The story of how this location was put together and opened was quite charming and cute. One of the owners came to Canada over a decade ago and wanted to have her favourite dessert place. Worked with a couple of people and opened up this franchise. Standing next to her husband, they recount the tale of how the place opened and what they wish to accomplish. The main attraction at HLS is the MANGO. They take painstaking steps ensure that they get the right variety and do their best to ensure that it is just ripening. Much detail to the freshness is seen in all their ingredients and finished products - they will not sell their mochi mango balls if they have been sitting for two days. Production must be well thought out. Their are plenty of choices on their menu. So many items in both to go cups and sit down and enjoy goblets. The number of ways they can produce a mango dessert is mind boggling. The way they prepare and plate is well thought out too. My personal experience and review, is based on the hospitality of the place, and the takeout that I had. I ordered a mango pomelo sago drink, and 6 of their mango mochi. WOW!...flavour explosion. Move over ice cream and waffle joints, move over french cafes, and Italian bakeries. Asian desserts have landed! You can really taste the freshness of the mango, the sweetness and just the little tartness that I like. Their sinful mochi is stuffed with a generous chunk of mango and dusted in coconut shavings. You cannot stop at one...or even 2. I had my espresso after the mochi as I didn't want to spoil the taste of each bite. I think that there is an HLS nearby and hope to have the same experience there, but I will make a note to drop by here if I am running through Hamilton. OR hmmm...any Commuting Yelper can pick me up a dozen please!!! Cheers!!!

They haven't tried bubble tea before, so I was excited for them to try. I got 3 guys with less sugar and ice. Tasted good. My friend tried mango iced green tea with coconut jelly. She didn't like tapioca, and the associate gave her a little cup of the coconut jelly to sample before putting it into her tea. She liked it. And she also got her granddaughter to try the jelly as well, and the granddaughter decided to put it into her iced lemon tea. Note that there aren't many options of toppings to choose from, but at least the service is ace.

This location has the most seating I have ever seen for a bubble tea place! I got my usual drink -…read moretheir #1 top drink and it took quite awhile for them to make it even though there were a lot of employees working at the time. The drink was amazing, as usually, tea flavor was really strong. Lots of occupants here were mostly students at neighboring colleges, just hanging out. The wifi at the time wasn't working for me (at the time when I needed it the most haha)

This place is fairly new to Cambridge Centre and so the taste of their drinks can be a little…read moreinconsistent, but lately, it has improved! I go here for bubble tea every time I come to the mall as it's pretty cheap with their summer special. $2.99 for a small, $3.99 for a large. 50¢ extra for tapioca. It's one of the few places in Cambridge to get bbt, but actually, compared to other places in Waterloo or Mississauga, their tapioca isn't that good. But I really like the renovation. It doesn't even look like a KFC/Taco Bell was ever even there. The interior looks brand new and clean, and very bright with white walls. I was talking to a worker and she said she liked working there because the interior was very clean. Also, the owner is a very nice man, always smiling. Me and my sister got a $1 coupon for our next drink! I recommend their mango smoothies and the Pink Lady smoothie. My favourites. Thick, but smooth enough for it to glide through your straw (which are sturdy, good quality straws might I also add, lol). Although, I don't usually ever get their slushies anymore because they taste a little watery and isn't blended too well, but I might give them a couple more weeks to see if they improve!

The inside is incredibly cute, super clean, and well-organized with plenty of seating. The decor is gorgeous, but my absolute favorite part had to be the little cloud pillows. So aesthetic. I actually came specifically for the matcha, even though their main specialty is Japanese cheesecake. I ended up ordering a large Iced Ube Matcha Cloud for $10.30 and she was an absolute dream. You can definitely still taste the matcha, but the whole drink is super light. If you're looking for a massive, punch-you-in-the-face strong matcha flavor, this specific one might not be your vibe. But even though I usually prefer a strong matcha, I just deeply appreciated how delicious and well-balanced this was. It was a bit of a trek for me to get here, but it was 100% worth the drive. I'll definitely be making the trip back!

The original bubble waffle is so good! Light and fluffy on then inside and crispy on the outside. A must try! My bubble tea was made to my liking perfect sugar level.
