As of the time of writing, this has to be the cheapest bubble tea in town. The auntie that runs this place has been here forever, and I'm guessing they own the building. It's like they haven't adjusted the price in a decade. Impressive. Seriously, come check this place out.
I want to protect this mom and pop shop at all costs. They are still super affordable for bubble tea! My Japanese green tea ice cream with pearls was $5 cash. They are super friendly. Have great variety of flavours. The pearls are pretty consistent(maybe slightly more chewy but not overcooked). I like the anime on the walls. It's not glam but it's a hole in the wall hangout spot. They have $3.50 bubble tea specials too.
L&G has been my go to bubble tea joint for almost two decades. I remember when it was located on 41st and Granville but since it relocated on Fraser and 42nd, it is a lot closer to the various places I've lived in the past two decades in South Vancouver. The owner and his wife recognized me today, even though it's been months since I last visited. Every time I go in, they greet me warmly. They are one of the rare mom and pop bbtea places that has barely raised their prices in the past two decades. Their bbtea drinks that used to cost $3.75 from 2 decades ago only cost $4 to $4.50 today. Still a great bang for your buck and the drinks are awesome! Today, I ordered a Japanese green tea ice cream ($4) and added pearls for only $4.50 - such a great deal! I haven't tried their food and always get bbtea drinks to go but they have a life long patron out of me and my family. Am happy to see them open as local small businesses like L&G are the life blood of neighbourhoods in the city. Looking forward to my next visit to L&G already!
NOTE: credit cards accepted only for orders $5+ Been here a couple times now. My favorite is the hot black sesame + red bean drink, since I'm kind of obsessed with anything black sesame and they do a great job of it here. It's also quite affordable; I can get a large cup of it for around $4.50. The cafe is run by an old couple, so it may take a little bit for your drink to get made especially if there are a couple of other customers, but it's worth it. It also looks like they have a pretty extensive and affordable sushi menu, but I haven't tried it yet. During covid times, there is no dine-in. Takeout only. FYI I think the Yelp hours are a bit off. They open at 5 pm everyday, if I'm remembering correctly.
L and G has the most affordable bubble tea options! I got the pineapple passion fruit slush with bubble waffle for just under 7 dollars, my gosh! The bubble waffle wasnt my favorite though, the taste was there but the texture is a bit doughy. They excel in any kind of fruit slush. Watermelon slush is the most popular and yummiest!
How does this place have 4 stars? I only came here because Boba Monster was closed, but can confidently say I won't be returning. First, they tried to charge me extra for my strawberry lychee milk tea. Not happening. I can read the menu price, guys. Second, they made that same drink wrong. They gave me a slush instead of a milk tea. That's okay, people make mistakes. I kindly pointed it out and they agreed to remake it. Finally, they gave me a strawberry lychee SMOOTHIE. Hello? How did they manage to make my drink wrong TWICE? There was not a hint of milk tea in that $4.5 drink. At this point, I was too frustrated to argue with them about it and had to drink that nastiness. (My strawberry smoothies in my Vitamix taste better than this). Then, my cousin ordered a California roll sushi platter and salmon rolls. They failed to tell us they didn't have the ingredients for these and handed us something entirely different. Uhh... At this point, I demanded a refund for the sushi, which they gave me but they didn't refund the tax. Ok then. I get that miscommunication happens sometimes, but when you mess up multiple orders multiple times, I don't really have a reason to return.
Mango Passion Tea with boba was my wife's choice. We both thought it tasted alright. It was good enough that we would patronize the shop every once in awhile if we lived in the area. Shop itself is not too impressive from the outside. Would be easy to walk on by without taking notice. Inside is neat and tidy. Service was okay. Good 3 star establishment.
Been branching out and trying a couple new BBT spots (for me at least). L&G is a family run one that seems popular with the youngins. Might have to do with the fact that they're open till midnight everyday! We dropped by Thursday evening (around 8:30pm). The inside is pretty ghetto but one table had a deck of (heavily used) playing cards. The menu has fresh fruit slush/smoothies, black/green tea, hot, ice cream and special drinks. There's also a few handwritten additions to the menu. If you're hungry, they've got an interesting mix of Japanese and Chinese eats. Sushi, sashimi, don bowls, noodle soups and rice dishes. Can't say I saw anyone order food while we were there. They also have a TV playing some sort of Asian drama. No sound on which is nice. - Mango strawberry slush ($4.00) - B got hers with mango stars ($0.50). Had a sip of her drink and found the flavours watered down. - Avocado mango slush ($4.00) - I also got mango stars. Love that they don't charge you extra for combining two fruits. Avocado wasn't very creamy and the drink overall was a bit watered down. Will have to try the smoothie version next time as I don't usually get this flavour combo as a slush. - Taro ($3.75) - B's friend got a fresh taro. Think this is her usual. I'm not sure how I feel about L&G. Currently on the fence. I like that they do fresh fruit and the price is very reasonable.

Best MA & PA bubble tea place in this hood! They have fresh tea & fruit drinks! You can customize your sugar level, ice level , type of milk, and pearls. The price is pretty good. So when I get an avocado coconut milk smoothie it cost me roughly $5.(2026) Lisa and her husband are very friendly and they try to make the bubble tea as fast as possible. This place definitely gets really busy so prepare to wait. They have really cute anime posters everywhere so if anime is your vibe you came to the right place. On top of that they have board games for customers to play with while they wait for their bubble tea. read more
This place isn't usually my go-to spot in the neighbourhood, but all the other places were closed when I went, so my sister and I decided to give it a try after not having it for many years. When we got to the computer screen to order, we were shocked by the amazing prices! Most of the flavours were $4-5, depending on the flavours and toppings you chose. We both got taro bubble tea with pearls, but once our order was ready, we realized we had actually forgotten to add the pearls to the order, oops! However, the lady ended up giving us a cup of pearls for free, even though we offered to pay, which was very kind of her. The bubble tea itself was pretty good, though the pearls weren't my favourite. Despite that, the prices were excellent, and I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a hidden little gem on Fraser that you might miss passing by. The exterior is nothing eye catching, but this place worth checking out. The interior is run down, but is family owned and has a homey feel. The menu is taped on the walls and a little odd, but they also have anime posters. They also serve sushi and Chinese food. I didn't try their food, but a beef noodle is only $6.99 and BBQ rice is $4.99! This place is run by a friendly elderly couple. They welcomed us with a smile and initiated conversation while we waited for our drinks. They weren't too fluent in English, but made an effort to speak it when we ordered. What I like about this place is there is a lot of seating and they have playing cards so it is a great place for group gatherings or hangouts. Their drinks are all made with real ingredients. We ordered a honey green tea and dragon fruit slush. You can really taste the honey and the difference between other bubble tea places that add syrup. The fruit slush is made with real fruit. Just look at the photo and see how dark and vibrant the colour is. The pearls are a little soft for what I like, but each drink was only $4.00. This is my second time coming to this place because it is cheap, service is friendly, and drinks are made with fresh ingredients with no added preservatives. read more

Wow I do not know how this place can charge such prices for their drinks. I ordered a fresh durian smoothie for $6! It tasted just as I expected flavour wise. I wish it was a bit creamier and then it would be perfect. Too bad I do not live in Vancouver anymore or else I would stop by more frequently. read more

One of the better bubble tea (bbt) places in town. They use real fruit in their bbt. I usually order a bbt with fruit flavours. Each time I do, I can taste the real fruit. I'm pretty sure the staff tries not to use powder mixes for the bbt. There is also food you can order too. I order their sushi, I drank my bbt and watch the guy make my sushi. Sushi wasn't too bad, but for the price it was quite a decent amount of sushi. read more
Thanks to the same owners, after all the years, trying their best to keep prices down, and thanks to the same quality in bubbles and fresh fruit flavours, I'm still a fan of L&G. However, there needs to be an overhaul and implementation of an order and delivery system that works and for some consideration to customer comfort. It's time for some improvement. Visiting on a hot summer night, it was like entering a sauna. Which may be nice if I were at the gym, post-workout... But otherwise, bleh! I noticed the BC Hydro sticker on the window outside stating that this business is "eco-friendly." Well, if that means skimping out on some occasional a/c for the sanity of customers, then I think L&G needs to get "eco-nasty." Otherwise, it's nasty. The sweltering heat seemed to be getting not only on the customers' nerves, but on the owners' as well. Drinks were getting mixed up (cold instead of hot, for example) and delayed (we waited about 45 minutes for our drinks; wait -- FORTY-FIVE MINUTES???). Once ready, the soft-spoken girl at the till had no way to remember who ordered what, and her voice wasn't loud enough to call out the flavors in any useful way. Obviously, most people were sitting down at their tables, since nobody wants to stand by the counter for FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. As for the drinks themselves, well, they were delicious. But the quick grab-and-go plan had stretched out into a sweat-and-linger compromise. Sigh. BTW, since when did they start serving sushi?? read more

I would really like to give this place 5 stars overall but I really can't! The inside of the shop looks like its been put together by 3 year olds! ha ha, it has missed painting spots on the wall, bad looking wood panelling that hasn't been installed properly and ...sigh.. The food, the bubble tea and people are awesome!!! Not only do they serve GREAT CHEAP bubble tea but also, Tasty sushi and Taiwanese deep fried snacks! We ordered Coconut Milk tea and Taro slush, It was one of the best bubble teas i've ever had! Wow, the flavors, textures and pearls was amazing! Definitely go there again!!! read more

Came here for bubble tea based on reviews. Left here unimpressed. Service was slow. Owner barely spoke English. Mostly grunts. Bubble tea was mainly sweetened milk. Fresh fruit flavour??? That's marketing hype for food colouring. Slushy was just like drinking sweetened milk. Bubbles tasted soft. Disgusting and waste of money. read more

I visited L & G Bubble Tea for the first time in 2007. Back then, they were located at 41st Ave. and Granville St. They made the best bubble tea in Vancouver. Uncle (the owner) was very talkative and funny. It was a lovely warm place to go at night. When I was in bad mood, Uncle would always cheer me up. After they moved, I only visited once. I did not order any bubble tea. I ordered curry chicken rice, which is surprisingly tasty. I miss L & G Bubble Tea so much. I am thinking to visit them again tonight. read more
