Insane lineup for a soft opening. It is a toss up whether they deserve this much attention but we were happy with the flavour and mouthfeel of the King of Mango drink. Their service was polite and professional even though they are still in training mode. The mango smoothie with plenty and pleasant toppings, very drinkable indeed and nothing is stuck inside the straw. We tasted tea flavour in their jelly toppings which complemented the drink very well. Worth a try in my opinion. read more

Macu Tea - King of Mango Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Is it worth the hype? It depends on what you're expecting. If you're expecting some out of this world boba, then no. If you want a really cool drinkable dessert with fresh fruit, then absolutely. Every time I'm here, there's always a lineup and a wait which is telling of the popularity. The price of the drinks is in line with other fresh fruit tea places and the service is really good. They do their best to get to everyone and move the line quickly. Music is bumping there pretty loud so you'll need to have keen ears to hear them call your number or ask you anything while you're ordering. And for the people that keep phoning this place for whatever reason, don't bother; they're too busy to answer your call and it's way too loud to have a conversation in there. There's no tables so this is strictly a takeout and enjoy outside. I wish they would bring back the clear cups so you can give your eyes a treat as well. read more

Hands down the best mango drinks I've had!! If mango is your favorite fruit I'd definitely recommend coming here to try since summer is mango season so all of them are perfectly ripe and sweet! Don't get intimidated with the long lines they move very fast and drinks did not take long to be ready. read more

We came here after dinner on a Thursday afternoon. It was the fourth of July, so the line may have been longer due to other holiday travelers from the states, but -- the line was totally insane. After getting in, I ordered the King of Mangoes, as I'm a huge fan of mango pomelo sago. I have to say, this did not meet my expectations. The green tea jelly instead of the sago was a weird choice, and definitely clashed with the rest of the tea. There was barely any pomelo in the drink, and the milk/coconut milk flavor was too strong, so that I could barely taste the mango. In the end I gave up after drinking a little more than half of it. Definitely not worth the wait. For other mango pomelo sago fans, I would still say that the Yifang in the same plaza remains supreme. read more

***FOOD: Review for the Downton Robson St location, MANGO TEA - very mangoy, so creamy and full of real mango. Extremely filling and heavy. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $ very good drink for the price. ***DÉCOR: very very limited seating, the shop is basically small on Robson st and therefore they've had to stack their mango crates where there could be seating. Picnic tables outside. Basically you can't hang out here. It's a to go place. ***SERVICE: counter service. Because it's made fresh and the drink is pretty labor intensive, wait is long and then there's the line to order which sometimes goes out the door. Long wait to order and even longer for your drink to be made. ***RECOMMEND: HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Definitely will come back for a drink. read more

945pm and the line was still out the door. The king of mango smoothie didn't disappoint. Lots of fresh mango coconut milk and not too sweet. Although the line was long they were well staffed and kept the line flowing. Very clean and open store that could hold lots of people but no tables to sit at. read more

Love macu tea, one of the best mango drinks here in Vancouver. Appreciate they only do mango drinks during mango season, you see boxes and boxes of mango when you walk in. Most of the time there will be a line when you go read more

So glad we could try out this place! There was a line out the door when we got here, and I can see how it could be worth the wait. I ordered the Honey Lemonade with 50% ice 80% sugar and Bo-Bo (agar) and it was $6.50 before tax ($0.50 extra for the topping), which is pretty reasonable. The atmosphere of the store seemed clean and calm, despite the constant flow of people in and out of the store. Everyone had to order via the mobile kiosk, which was a little tricky since there were only menus by the register and the kiosk. Scrolling through the kiosk to figure out the drink options and make decisions took a little bit of time, and it felt like this contributed to the line build-up. It would've been nice to be able to see the menu while we were waiting so we could decide ahead of time. The wait to get our drinks after we ordered was pretty quick. There was minimal interaction with the staff, but they handed us the drinks with the straws. One of the straws was broken/cracked and wasn't pointy enough to puncture the lid, but we didn't realize until we drove out of the parking lot, so we couldn't impale the lid or drink the beverage until we got home and used a different straw. Other than the straw mishap and the lack of menu accessibility, this is a great beverage spot. My drink was yummy and very refreshing; however, there were only a handful of Bo-Bo pieces in my drink, which was disappointing. I've heard such good reviews about this place, so I will definitely be back in the future to try new drinks. read more

I have seen this bubble tea place that boasts 1 mango per cup. The hype of long line ups during the weekend is true. King of mango drink check! Drink is delicious. Waiting time to get in is about 10 minutes. Order less than 5 minutes. Waiting for the drink about 15-20 minutes. Brightly lit room with fresh smelling mango drinks. Ordered their top 2 drinks: king of mango and chichi mango smooth read more

Love love love their drinks! I also really love the idea that they switch to different drink series depending on what is in season! My favourite is the Strawberry Bo Bo smoothie (which is available year round). Although the line can get really long, it usually goes by pretty fast. No seating inside tho which is understandable considering how busy they get. The drinks are consistently good. read more

Located in a plaza with about six boba shops (crazy), Macu is packed with customers inside and out! But don't worry, the wait was still very reasonable on a Thursday afternoon. They may be known for their mango drinks and have delicious fruit teas, but my husband and I went for the Ceylon Milk Tea and the Oolong Tie Guan Yin Tea Milk Tea. They did not disappoint! We lowered the sweetness to our liking and were pleased with the bold tea flavor balanced with the milk. They also have cute little red straps to hook around the drink to carry. This was my favorite boba shop while visiting Vancouver and I can't wait to return one day. read more

Long lines but it moves fast. I'm so glad they opened another location in Vancouver. Must get are the Mango king (when in season). I also like the Grape smoothie and Lili grapefruit with no ice. I like that they do fresh squeezed grapefruit here. read more

Came here today on their Day 2 Grand Opening BOGO promo a few minutes before opening and was pleasantly surprised hope quick the line was! The staffs were super quick and from line up to getting our drinks it took about 15 mins. We ordered the King of Mango Smoothie and had a choice of the Ceylon Black Tea with Chi Chi or Golden Leaf Tea with Chi Chi as the free drink for the promo. The King of Mango Smoothie is a thicker dessert drink with Mango Smoothie and plenty of tea jerky on the bottom. The Golden Leaf Tea and Black Ceylon tea were lighter and more refreshing drinks and are great choices of you are looking more of a thirst quenched than dessert drink. Overall a lovely bbt addition in Richmond to add to your bbt list to try! read more

Macu Tea is definitely the best! This location is great because they have a kiosk to order at to help make the process go a bit faster compared to Robson. Service is quick and the drinks are always fresh. I love their Mango in the summer but the Strawberry Bo-Bo is definitely one to recommend. At times it's very busy and hard to wait inside but they get the drinks done quickly. Music can be loud but not to the point that you want to leave. read more

Definitely a must try spot in Richmond, BC! There's always a lineup here! They make their drinks fresh and you can see loads of mangoes at the back of the store. All the toppings are also very good with the perfect amount of texture/sweetness. I particularly like the jasmine jelly. I recommend getting the BoBo Mango Smoothie with fixed toppings. It's my favorite! read more

Macu Tea is a new place that sells fruit tea and drinking dessert. I tried the King of Mango smoothie, which had a lot of mango pieces and jellies. It was very yummy and refreshing, like a mango pomelo dessert in a cup. I liked the fresh fruit. It was a good drink for a hot day or as a dessert. I recommend it if you like mango. read more

This was suggested to me by a friend. He suggested getting the mango, unfortunately they had post it notes everywhere staring that they didn't have any mango drinks. I settled for a Bobo Strawberry Smoothie, it was good. It had what I like, texture and many different things to chew on. The green tea jelly and something chewy, not quite sure what it was but I really liked it. In fact, after having dinner in the area; I went back to try the Bobo grape smoothie, unfortunately they were out of that too. So I settled for the chi chi strawberry smoothie. This was something unique. I think they said the white foam was something related to cheese; probably going for a cheesecake flavor drink. All I know was it was a bit salty. It wasn't bad or anything, but it's something like a one and done experience for me. I much prefer the Bobo. They were both $8.35 with tax. So a little bit pricy for a drink. I'd definitely return to try the mango next time. Overall, a good experience and I'd recommend a visit if you're in the area. The service is somewhat quick and they do get busy. It's a take out place as there are no seats in the place. There's a large lot for free parking as there are multiple stores/shops/restaurants in the area. Not sure how long you are able to stay though, as I did not see any signage stating anything. read more

I come to Macu Tea all the time, and I always get the Bobo Mango Smoothie. It's easily my favourite, especially with the tea jelly and clear chewy pearls. The only downside is that mango is only available in the summer, which is a bummer. I get it though--they probably wait for the best mangoes to make sure it tastes the best. I've tried some of their other drinks, and while they're decent, nothing compares to the mango options for me. Just a heads-up--the lines can get long in the summer, but the ordering process is smooth. You order on a tablet, and they call your number, so it's pretty efficient. If you're into mango, it's definitely worth stopping by--just be ready to wait when it's busy. read more

This opened last year and had the BIGGEST hype over it because they are popular in Asia for their King of Mango. Even though it has been a year, holy cow, the line up is persisting out the door and down the block. I purposely chose to come here a year after the hype is gone, and after all their pure marketing thing, but it looks like the hype is real! With the amount of waiting and people wanting and ordering drinks, there is literally NO SITTING SPACE. You order, you wait and you leave is the goal of this place. And on top of that, you don't need to talk to anyone to order, you just tap tap tap on a tablet, pay only via card and you wait. Me and my friends chose to walk around the plaza instead of just standing there like ducks. But we for sure ordered a drink each and chose to walk around. The wait wasn't too bad, I mean we did look at 3-4 stores before actually getting our order, I would say it was like a small 15-20 minute wait for our drinks. Because there were so many staff behind that work counter just making drinks like a machine. Props to the staff really, because with the hype still going a year after their opening sure. Anyways, I would 100% recommend this place to grab a quick King of Mango to go, as the amount of mangoes that go into 1 of those large cups are just worth it, and their Tea flavoured jelly was delicious! Would come back again if the hype dies down just a bit. read more

The absolute best GOAT tea spot for mango drinks. I went to the original in Taiwan and this place is just as good. No seating because they need room for all the mango boxes lol! A line out the door which doesn't surprise me. The #1 king mango drink is superb, filled with fresh mango chunks and green tea jelly, a dash of coconut milk and fresh grapefruit... still craving it! We took skytrain here from the airport as we had a few hours to kill and it was absolutely worth it. Macu Tea, please keep expanding to the US!!! read more

DELICIOUS!!! Best mango smoothie bbt I've had in Vancouver! If you love mangoes you will love this drink because you can literally taste the juiciness of the mangoes they use. It is so sweet but in a delicious and refreshing way and not at all in a sickening way (plus, the grapefruit pulp cuts the sweetness from time to time). Overall very very good and would recommend this to anyone! read more

The music was too loud; it was difficult to hear them when they called our order number. Also, the Winter Melon w/ Fresh Milk tea was overly diluted; otherwise, the drink would be sweeter. It was disappointing. Moreover, the staff did not follow the order to make drinks (people who ordered after us got their drinks first). They had a lot of staff making drinks but the queues for both the pick up and the ordering were very long. Were they inefficient or not trained? P.S. They used the typical sealing of bubble tea cups (as the lid) and it was still difficult to poke through the seal with their paper straws. They should provide more robust straws. read more

The amount of mangoes in this drink is insanely amazing! I would definitely want to come back and try the other flavours.

there's a bit of a wait but they move pretty fast considering the amount of orders! there's quite a few boba shops nearby but this is the only one with a line, which speaks to the quality. you can order either with a cashier at the counter or on a self-serve kiosk (which use different order numbers). there isn't a lot of room inside to stand and wait, so it's probably better to walk around a bit while waiting. they call out your number in person (no text message). i ordered the king of mango smoothie and it was very fresh and i enjoyed the mango chunks. read more

Attention MANGO fans - Macu Tea is calling your name with their generous portions of fresh champagne mangoes blended into your smoothie. This is as fresh as it can get for less than $8 CAD or $6 USD for this seasonal mango drink. Talk about VALUE and natural flavors straight from the fruit, with boxes stored along the walls. Menu includes different combo of jellies in your drink with most on fixed sugar/ice levels unless otherwise noted. I've had the King of Mango smoothie twice here and Bo-Bo once at the Vancouver location and I'm looking forward to more, says someone who rarely frequents the same merchant often even if they're bomb dot com. The menu changes with the season so the mango series lasts through the end of summer and then I hear the grapefruit series begins in autumn. Beware of long lines, but they move pretty quickly. I'd recommend King of Mango if it is your first time at Macu Tea during the summer. read more

I think the cheese foam really complements the mango smoothie well, makes it a bit richer, which is perfect if you are looking for a dessert drinks. I would go back again for the chi chi mango smoothie. read more
