Food - The drinks were good. Boba was nice and firm/chewy and not mushy. The flavors were correct. Service - Good. I didn't have a problem with the staff. They delivered what I asked for, and that's all I really expect. They adjusted the sweetness levels to order. Vibe - Typical boba cafe/shop vibe. There's no where to sit in the shop though. It really is just to grab and go. Coming from Honolulu, boba is a part of pop-culture here. It's a normal thing. I like boba. Problem is on vacations that I've had in the past, for some reason, it was not easy to find a boba spot that had the same flavor profiles that I'm used to. So, first, I was really pleased that there's boba available in Banff. And second, I was glad that the flavors and textures were familiar and very similar to what we have. I think Milk Tea At Banff is the the only boba place in Banff. I don't know, I didn't search. Because once I found Milk Tea At Banff, I was done searching. I/we pretty much kept coming back to get our almost daily boba fix. I would go back when we vacation in Banff again.
They had a pretty good selection! I asked for half sweet and it was still quite sweet, so maybe keep that in mind if you prefer things on the less sweet side when ordering and go with like 25%. The drinks were refreshing. It's a little spot that's mostly grab and go inside the strip mall area.
Signs are easily seen from the outside of the building. You'd have to enter to get to the store! There are no tables to sit at, but you're in Banff so it is much better to sip your drink overlooking the mountains! Average milk tea/fruit tea. Ordered the passion fruit tea with coconut jelly with less sweetness and it was still a tad too sweet. Service was great!
Cute little boba tea shop in downtown Banff. The tea itself was very subtle and the milk tea was watered down. The prices were average but likely wouldn't get it again if I was in town unless I was really craving boba.
Truly never thought I'd be giving 5 stars to a boba shop in the middle of a mountain town but here we are. Had honest low expectations because, well it's in the middle of a tourist mountain town but we were so pleasantly surprised and so happy we stopped by. Side note, this is also from a spoiled boba brat with access to boba galore in Orange County/LA/SGV. Highly highly recommend for a mid day pick me up!
Tried their strawberry milk tea, tropical fruit tea and matcha milk tea. Not that good unfortunately. The matcha tasted like milk and didn't have enough of a matcha flavor. I saw a matcha latte and ordered one but I guess it's not on the menu anymore which is a bummer. The tropical fruit tea was a bit too sweet and I didn't care for the strawberry milk tea. I wish I would have stayed with the brown sugar milk, that drink was awesome! Unfortunately I have to knock off 2 stars. Would come back for the brown sugar milk and maybe to try a smoothie since those look good.
This is my second time visiting Banff and I decided to come back to try their other drinks. I tried their Lychee Sparkler which was too sweet (staff didn't suggest sweetness was able to be adjusted). I really enjoy the taro coconut slushie with the amazing taro flavor and great combo with the coconut; not too overwhelming.
Not great, not bad - a perfectly normal milk tea to satisfy the boba cravings Jasmine milk tea 70% sweetness was decently sweet. I'd prob go down to a 50% to feel better about myself. I have a feeling that 30% would be barely sweet
Love love. 10/10 boba and such a surprise to find here in banff. Brown sugar mt not overly sweet which I appreciate but the boba quality was phenomenal. You know it's good when they said 100% back guarantee. They have a cotton candy machine inside but I thought it wasn't worth for 8 dollars bc it kept flying away in the wind. Small place with no seating but so glad I came. Do note they close at 7pm though. Only one girl working but was fast. Clean and fresh interior design
The cashier was very nice and friendly and recognized me on my second visit in two days . Got a mango fruit tea with grass jelly and strawberry slush with grass jelly. Drinks were flavorful and not too sweet and grass jelly was really tasty too. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for boba in the Banff area as the drinks were good, service was fast and friendly, and selection was plentiful
We got the mango peach slush with boba--it was absolutely delicious and so refreshing!! We can't wait to come back.
as a certified asian boba girl of course i had to get boba while in banff and this was walking distance from our airbnb! i came here with my friends during out trip and honestly our expectations were not high but we liked it enough to come TWICE :) --- strawberry milk tea this drink came with boba! i'm not sure if all drinks do but this one did and it was pretty good! i got it less sweet and it was still a bit on the sweeter side but i liked it! the black tea flavor was there and the strawberry puree they used didn't taste fake and wasn't like a powder which i appreciated! the boba was kinda mushy but i'm super particular about my boba i usually just get the milk tea if i'm even a little skeptical about the actual boba but it was not bad! --- jasmine milk tea my bf got this and i thought it was super solid! honestly better than some place i've tried in california! not watery at all and the tea tasted flavorful and good! --- other drinks my friends tried the brown sugar milk tea, matcha milk tea, and a couple hot drinks i think? and they all seemed to really enjoy it! --- fyi the ladies working there were super friendly and the drinks came out so fast! if you're needing boba while in banff this is the place to go! it's located like inside a building so you have to go through a door to a mall to find their little shop :)
Mix reviews for this place. The first time we came here all the drinks were super super sweet. So much that we couldn't even finish the drinks. We gave it another chance while in Banff and got our drinks with a lot less sugar. Teas have really good flavors. We were just thrown off by the sugar level.
Really solid milk tea! I didn't expect much because it's a very touristy town, but I can tell they brew their own milk tea. I got the jasmine milk tea, and it was really good. The tapioca pearls were also cooked well (not too soft or hard), and the sweetness level (50%) was perfect. It's a bit hard to find because it's inside of a long hallway, but definitely worth a visit if you're craving boba! read more
Place is a little hard to find. You see the signage but you have to go inside the building go get to it. Service was prompt. Milk tea was decent. Let's just say I'm more particular as I'm exposed to so much milk tea places in the Bay Area. Thought the coconut slush was decent. Not sweet at all and lingering coconut taste but couldn't taste the taro. Not bad but I could pass it up for something else. read more

Kind of hidden away in one of Downtown Banff's malls, this bubble tea shop was the perfect spot for a sweet treat! The mango tea was delicious and I loved the addition of fresh orange and lime. Worth the $6 price tag. Toppings are an additional $0.50+. read more

I grew up in LA and have had a good amount of boba so I was hesitant of trying this place but due to some glowing reviews I did, and was pleasantly surprised! I'd give it a 4/4.5 if it were in LA based on the two drinks I tried, but by Banff standards (is that even a thing for boba here?) I'd give it an easy 5 stars! 1 and #15? Passionfruit tea with coconut jelly For two large drinks with toppings, $13 and some change isn't bad especially given it's Banff. Friendly Not too sweet! Regular was perfect for my Asian palate but if you prefer things sweeter you may want to opt for more sugar. That being said, the lady working the counter said that if I didn't like my drink based on the sweetness they'd be happy to remake it/make something else. To so generously state that (and it's written on a sign too) makes them even more respectable. We wanted to come here a second time on our trip but unfortunately didn't get to. Try this place out for some refreshing drinks! read more
This Boba place is located inside a market place building. Our kids got a bunch of Boba drinks and we got Mango cheesecake. The drinks and cheesecake were amazing and some of the best we have tasted. So glad this place exists in Banff downtown. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

Got the taro coconut slush with less sugar and grass jelly and it was SO good! Definitely plan on coming back at least one more time while I'm still in banff. Service is pretty slow but the drink was so good and refreshing. The interior has no seating but it's super cute. read more

Unexpected find in Banff and I can say it's one of the best milk tea's I've had this trip. The menu is clear, service is fast, and most importantly, my Thai milk tea with boba was perfect. I also like that they ask how sweet you want your drink and how much/little ice you want. If I make it back to Banff, I will stop in again. read more
