    Special of the day - very berry peach and lychee with popping boba. It was a touch sweet despite asking for no sugar but perfect as a dessert.

    Front of bubble tea shop~

    Decent and dumpy looking bubble tea shop on Kingsway. Parking is available on the side streets, as well as metered spots in front. The place is defintiely beaten up. Reminds me of a bathroom, with all the tiles on the wall. There is a red and white section - this is from back when the place was a Megabite pizza shop. Staff were friendly and helpful. The place has a large dedicated real fruit drink section, which is worth a special mention. Dare I say it - is this the Dragon Ball of the Joyce area? The drinks definitely taste like it. Awesome. This is one of my go to spots for bubble tea going forward. Recommended.

    Avocado and mango ice cream bbt
    Regina V.

    My favourite avocado ice cream bbt and open late! The prices are still pre pandemic which is rare. They're open late too. I miss living in this neighbour hood when we used to walk here late summer nights.. sigh. I'm happy to see this location and the other one by Joyce station is thriving. The owner was also always very nice and recognized us. Keep up the good work'

    Nostalgic spot for bubble tea on Kingsway. Cash or debit only. Love their specials - $5 for a large, $4.25 for a small. I got the fresh taro sago and it was just waaaay too sweet. Just pure sugar. I had to add milk when I got home. My friend got the strawberry oreo cheesecake with pearls and that was really good.

    Read bean cheese cake with pearls

    Amazing drinks that aren't too sweet and come with lots and lots of boba. I got a red bean cheese cake drink that had a very natural and unprocessed flavor. The service was quick and very friends. Definitely recommend this place for a late night sweet treat or afternoon bite!

    To my knowledge, Milk & Sugar is one of two places in Metro Vancouver that does not charge for pearls or coconut jelly. In a city with so many bubble tea shops (which is especially the case along the stretch of Kingsway that Milk & Sugar is located in), prices can get pretty steep; the free pearls and jelly are a definite crowd pleaser. There are a ton of options, and the owners are really creative with their weekly drink specials (example: brown sugar taro cheesecake). What I've noticed too is that there is more of an emphasis on fruity drinks. Up until last year, I only really drank fruit slushes so this place was like paradise to me! However, now I have fully embraced milk tea and on my last trip I deviated from my usual mango pineapple slush to get a milk tea. I did not see any signage about being able to adjust sugar or ice levels, so I just ordered the drink as is. Next time, I'll definitely ask though because I found the milk tea way too sweet! Or maybe I'll go back to my beloved mango pineapple drink...

    Ube ice cream
    Linda L.

    Found this place on Yelp while I was looking for a good dessert place after dinner, and decided to give it a try due to the high 4/5 ratings. They had a sign outside that said what their specially discounted dessert items were. There were many options such as waffles, ice creams, and milk teas. The line was pretty long when I got there at around 9pm on Thursday night, which I waited for about 10 minutes until it was my turn to order. Normally I would ask to try the ice cream flavours before I ordered, but it didn't seem like they allow it here since they were pretty busy and they served more than ice cream here. I decided to try one scoop of the Ube flavour in a cone and it was a bit over $4, so it was pretty reasonable. However, the ice cream lacked the Ube flavour such that I had better Ube ice cream from the grocery store. It definitely didn't live up to my expectation as Ube is one of my favourite ice cream flavours, so I was left a little disappointed.

    The local favourite: from the constant line ups on to the street, you can tell this joint is well loved. Milk & Sugar has been a community fixture for many, many years. I can't remember exactly when they opened, but I remember going after school for a treat. You can choose from powder, fresh fruit, or fresh fruit with ice cream. They also serve snacks like curry fish balls. We got the red bean cheesecake and the fresh papaya slush, but it actually tasted more like lychee. Good thing I like lychee... Check out their Facebook for their weekly specials! You save a buck or two :)

    White Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake w/ Pearls
    Dana S.

    Super impressed with their prices and quality - I got a large White Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake slush (one of their specials) and it was only $4. They have some rotating weekly specials which are more adventurous in addition to a good selection of regular options. The slush was great, very rich and creamy, and the oreo pieces were small enough that I didn't have any get stuck in the straw. The pearls (which are complimentary) were great, super chewy and had a consistent texture, there wasn't any hardness or clumping that I sometimes see with slushes. The person who took my order was pleasant, and the atmosphere is very casual. It's not a super "instagramable" place but is kept neat and has an approachable feel, lots of posters on the walls and such. It's not super huge but it has some seating.

    Large taro bubble tea w/ lychee pearls
    Issabelle F.

    The truth behind my visit is that I stumbled in here looking for a cup of coffee, only to be surprised that they only serve bubble tea. The lady working the counter was so nice though that I felt bad coming in and not buying anything. So as a result, I ended up getting a large bubble tea. The second thing I noticed (the first being that they didn't have any coffee), was that they had a ton of different flavours and bbt options. I was torn between a few of the fruit ones and my go-to taro. I decided to stick to my go-to and got a large taro bubble tea with lychee pearls. I'm not a fan of regular boba pearls, so I always think it's a plus when bubble tea shops carry different pearl options. I sat at a table and pulled out my laptop to answer some emails while waiting for my bubble tea. Not even 5 minutes later, the lovely lady who took my order brought out my bubble tea for me. This is definitely one of the better bubble teas I've had in my day. It tasted fresh, wasn't too sweet, and the lychee pearls were delicious. If this spot wasn't so far away from me, I'd come here all the time. Seems like this is a popular spot for the after school/after work crowd because after I ordered, it got packed in here. When I'm in the area next I'll definitely pop in to get more taro bubble tea and to try some of the other flavours they have.

    Jasmine Milk Tea with Grass Jelly
    Vanessa Y.

    Little sad on this one as I have been wanting to try this place out for a long time but never felt compelled to trek all the way here just to check out the drinks. I happen to be in the area for the evening and decided to try this place out. I got their weekly special which was Jasmine Milk Tea with Grass Jelly. Kind of disappointed at the drink overall. The staff didn't ask about the sugar and ice levels (which I didn't expect to as they are a local shop as to the chain stores that have it written out for customers) so I was expecting the drink to be sweet but it was not sweet at all. The tea did have a strong Jasmine flavour but it wasn't the sweet milk tea that I was expecting. As well, the grass jelly is not smooth but rather chunky so it requires biting as opposed to just slurping compared to the grass jelly that they have at Chatime. I know a lot of people who stop by here for their great local prices but I was definitely underwhelmed by the drink I got. Perhaps I should have gotten a different kind of weekly special but the drink wasn't what I'd expected.

    Brenda K.

    Their weekly special keeps me returning here and the price is just unbeatable. Normally bubble tea in other places (eg. GongCha, Coco etc) probably charge around $4 , and Milk and Sugar is definetely cheaper than other places. I had Jasmine Grass Jelly Milk Tea on Friday (small $2.99) it was tasty. It also had a hint of Jasmine Tea flavour as well. I would go back there whenever possible.

Cherry blossom matcha with cotton candy has so instagram-worthy presentation! Not only it looks pretty, but alsoit tasted great! Strawberry puree and matcha paired so well. Ube latte with cold foam was good, too. Their espresso stood out and ube flavor came through later. I really liked their espresso which was strong and bold. Ube foam was very tasty.

Plenty of seats for small groups and big groups. High ceilings make the location feel spacious. And it was busy with a lot of people. I think if I'm going to hang out with people, coffee loft would be a great spot. However, I don't think the coffee and pastries are particularly good. But of course, I'm a bit biased since these are the things I look for in coffee shops: the coffee. It's not bad. It's just okay. So in short, I think if you're looking for a place to hang, Coffee Loft is great! If you're looking for coffee or pastries, there are other places. Still worth visiting though!

The pastries are delicious and crafted so beautifully. I came here for hot chocolate festival and the flavours were spot on. A tad sweet but it's hot chocolate. I also tried their limited time sticky rice croissant which had all the umami flavours one could want! Texture of the croissant was crunchy, butter and full of flavour. Sadly, the sticky rice texture mixed with croissant was not the best. The service here is great. Staff are friendly. The only downside to this store is the way their line up system works. They have 2 store areas, connected by the till. It's a bit hard to pass through when there are people waiting in line to pay, waiting on line to order, etc. Just a bit of awkward spacing

The center had fresh bits of apple and there was a creamy cream cheese filling and you get this texture that's a combo of crossiant and muffin .. if you love apple or even caramel etc i think it would really suit your pallette.

    Never had an ice cream that I didn't like. Love their soft serve and all the interesting toppings…read morethat they offer. There's a classic milk soft serve and another flavor which they can twist together with the classic milk. They seem to feature new flavors every month or so. I think I had seen from their Instagram page that they had an Ube soft serve back in April. Right now we're in early June and the flavor that we got for our twist was a cookie butter soft serve. Not sure how much longer they will have the cookie butter flavor as I had thought that it was supposed to be just for the month of May. So...I guess they don't always change the flavor right at the beginning of each month. They do change the flavors every so often though. I ordered the Green Forest which is supposed to have matcha powder, sweet red beans and condensed milk. They had run out of red beans when I went so they let met choose a different topping to replace the red beans. That actually suited me better anyways as I'm not a big fan of red beans. I chose the Green Forest for the matcha flavor in it, not the red bean! I ended up choose toasted coconut as a replacemenet for the red beans. Yum yum yum! My daughter chose the Brown Sugar Pearls option which came with brown sugar drizzle, and soft, chewy tapioca pearls. Hubby opted for the Mudslide which came with Tim Tam crumbs and chocolate syrup. I think the one thing I'd like to see at this place would be more flavors of soft serve to choose from. Having only two flavors makes things simpler for them I suppose. Happy enough with what they offer since they do have lots of interesting toppings to choose from, but...more flavors of soft serve would be cool to see. Parking: Pay parking on the street but the meter is free from 8pm. Service: Fair
