Maya's at White Rock Beach is my go-to for gelato when I come down here in the summer…read more The ice-cream is popular here as well judging by the foot traffic & big smiles on people's faces after each lick. I find it a convenient spot for my cool down treat as it's on the strip right close to the foot of White Rock Pier, Canada's longest. Ask for samples first before you settle on a flavour or two. My favourite for gelato right now is still Bella Gelateria, in Vancouver. Maya's selection of gelato is limited, but 100% worth it especially when it's 35°C / 95F outside. There's plenty of restaurants nearby as well with several fish & chip spots & burger joints. Parking is a challenge along the entire strip, but if you're patient, unlike me, you'll find a spot so worry not. Keep in mind that the strip which runs along the beach, draws heavy traffic.

Because it was the perfect spot for breakfast before heading back to the US. We got a couple of things, the medium acai bowl (easily shareable between two people), matcha latte, vanilla latte, and a breakfast sandwich. The food was very fresh and the latte was very good! The fruits were very fresh on the acai bowl. The matcha was just ok and we wished that we added a meat to the breakfast sandwich since it was missing a bit of saltiness. With that being said, everything about this is relaxed and cozy: from the interior, to the nice staff, to even the easiness of parking/accessibility from the main street. We definitely had a great time stopping by!

The Seasonal Cherry Elderflower Latte has a nice sweetness carefully balanced with a Cherry tartness that compliments the oat milk (additional cost) and frothy foam top for a purely delightful breakfast indulgence.

Very modern looking tea cafe. They brew the tea leaves right in front of you, which is a nice change from using tea bags. I've tried several drinks so far and was pleased with the taste and service. My favourite is their M'Oreo drink (matcha and oreo), which I haven't seen served anywhere else. Good place to get some work done or hang out if you want a change of environment. Definitely recommend. read more

Hawaii fruit tea with aiyuu jelly and passion fruit and grape fruit orange was something I would never try in a million years, but my niece suggested it. It was indeed great! It was very refreshing and I can still taste the herbal essence of the tea. They gave me 50% sweetness and it's a little too sweet for my liking. Maybe before I go back to the Central coast I will try their 25%! As usual my spouse's favourite is Taro Slush with extra pearls, the taro has a rich flavour and the pearl is not chewy and with good consistency. The pearls are also not hot/warm when served thus is does not melt the slush. We only did to go (apparently there's only to go due to Covid) and at the moment they allow 4 people at a time in the establishment. However you can see sometimes there are more than that! If its still here when we visit back home I will definitely have it again!

My friends who are big matcha fans ordered two different types of matcha strawberry drinks - :: matcha strawberry cream - this was thick and milky, the matcha flavour in this one wasn't too strong :: strawberry matcha latter - this had strawberry pulp on the bottom which was really sweet and you had to really stir it well for it to mix well. The matcha flavour in this was strong enough. :: peach yogurt with coconut jelly - it was so refreshing but I accidentally ordered it with 100% sugar which made it TOO sweet, this would have been my new fav drink if it was like 50% sugar. I'll definitely get this again though! We also got their garlic butter bread which was delicious! It was soft, garlicy, and creamy. Loved it! I'm not sure if they always have it, but if they do, then I will be getting it. I also tried their coffee bun which was really good and had a strong coffee flavour.

Firstly, very considerate and organized Grand Opening - a lit up tent for the customers waiting in the rain, they had check cards so you could decide on what free drink to get, and finally they offered hot tea while we waited outside! This just shows the thought and care they have for their customers and to make this experience positive! After about 30 minutes, my boyfriend and I got our Free Bubble Teas! I had the Milk Tea with Pearls (half-sweet, less ice) and my boyfriend had the Passionfruit Green Tea with Pearls (half-sweet, less ice). The Milk Tea had a good tea flavour and the milk was creamy, the half sweet was made to be a perfect balance of sweetness and tea. The pearls were made perfectly too - lots of chewiness and decent sweetness. Considering how busy they were and they managed to make this top-notch drink, it's very impressive! My boyfriend enjoyed the freshness of the Passionfruit Green Tea, and with sweetness of the pearls it balanced out the tartness of the passionfruit. A pretty big bubble tea shop with plenty of seating and a large, wooden communal table in the front. Staff were really friendly and they kept the place really clean with the high turnover of customers. They have lots of other drink options like smoothies and seasonal fruit milks, which have a lot of customization options in terms of flavours and toppings too! Overall, glad to have another bubble tea shop close by that is serving delicious drinks!
