Tried mango drink , she said it was mango + yogurt. Also asked for as little sweetness as possible. When we got it I asked if it was the right drink bc it did not look like any yogurt at all and she said yes it was made correctly. The drink was also very very sweet.
Located inside Richmond Public Market. Didn't get to try their little round taiyakis as the wait time was too long (30 mins) - will try next time. Bubble tea was deliciously old school and not too sweet. Pearls were smaller sized than average and so perfectly fresh, soft and chewy. Prices are so reasonable with many drinks under 5$???

It was my first time at Richmond Public Market. After getting my main food, I wanted a drink. My mom got a drink from Peanuts and told me it was good. I went there and got an iced lemon tea for $3.75! Very cheap and affordable, it's half the price of a normal bubble tea. Not only that, the elderly woman there was super nice, plus the lemon tea didn't take too long. Heck, I think it was less than 5 minutes to make it. Lemon tea tasted heavenly, I think this is top tier lemon tea. Overall, if it's your first time at Richmond Public Market, Peanuts is a good place to go to.
Peanuts: "since 1994" For a bubble tea shop to be open for nearly 3 decades, they must be doing something right! Their drinks are very affordable at roughly CA$5 or less. But they're more well known for their CA$1.25 wheel cakes: a rice flour based dough with savory or sweet filling. I ordered two wheel cakes (one red bean, one matcha white chocolate). Both were soft and chewy with a lightly crispy exterior. The red bean one had whole red beans inside instead of paste. I also ordered the original milk tea with pearls, which was good but not spectacular. Friendly staff and very quick service, but you may have to wait a few minutes for some flavors of wheel cakes to be made. Located inside Richmond Public Market second floor and cash only!
Random boba spot in a food court above a market. Boba was really good. Very chewy and soft. The tea flavor was also great. Cash only.
Went with the regular milk tea with boba. It was ok and was not impressed. Had better milk tea elsewhere. The tapioca pearls didn't really have much taste to it. Service was pretty fast. I did see a person making the wheel cakes but was not hungry. Save it for my next trip here.
Tasty and cheap (inexpensive) bubble tea place in Richmond Public Market. Fun fact - this place is the oldest surviving bubble tea shop in Richmond (started in 1994). The true OG. Parking is available in the RPM parkade attached to the main building. The prices are very reasonable compared to most other places in town. Guessing their rent is lower than many adjacent stalls. Most importantly, they still use real fruit for many (possibly all?) of their drinks. The strawberry slush I had hit the spot. It was beautiful. Nice and refreshing on a hot day.
Tried their wheel cakes. They weren't busy but were constantly making fresh hot wheel cakes - which is great because these cakes are best when they are hot and fresh. Taste traditional and homemade. If you like wheel cakes it's worth stopping by.
They have very good price for bubble teas. Bubbles are extra for 50 cents. There are many choices like sugar level and ice amount. The drinks are good but the favor can be stronger. Orders were original milk tea and black sesame with boba. Service was very friendly.
Wanted a drink when I was at the Richmond Public Market and this was the highest rated place on Google and I understand why! We got the lychee ginger tea with 50% of sugar and lemon slice tea. Both were really yummy, a bit sweet for my taste but the flavors made up for it! I loved how gingery the lychee ginger was. Would recommend to come here for some boba if you're at the Richmond Public Market!
Amazing that this food court bubble tea shop has been open for 30 years! Their prices are also like a step back in time - maybe not 30 years back, but before food prices skyrocketed in the past few years. You can get a drink with toppings for $5-7 and the wheel cakes are a little over $1. Some of the toppings are a little expensive, but with the base price of the drink as affordable as it is, you can still get a premium topping and have a drink at a reasonable price. My drink, a green bean slush with taro paste, plus two wheel cakes was $9.75. Cash only. Despite the low prices, I was impressed by the quality of my drink. The earthy and natural flavour of the green bean paired with nutty taro was really nice. The taro paste was thick but smooth, and they were generous with it. Didn't taste like "cheap" bubble tea even if the price is not too high. The wheel cakes were also so good! They have 10 flavours that they make, but only 4 were ready when I ordered. Luckily they had two that I wanted to try: radish and taro. They're constantly cooking the wheel cakes so mine were still nice and warm when I got them. The cakes were super soft inside and generously filled. The warm taro paste was almost custardy and the savoury radish filling was also tasty. The woman who took my order was super nice! There was a bit of a line but it moved fast. I probably got my order less than 10 minutes from the time I got in line.
Always great!! We got the grapefruit green tea, Taiwanese herbal tea, and original milk tea. I had order the grapefruit tea half sweet but it was still really sweet so I think I would get 25% sugar next time. We order the herbal tea with 25% sugar and it had no sweetness to it so I think the sugar levels really depend on which drink you are getting
Very good and inexpensive. I love the different flavors of wheel cakes-- I especially love the peanut flavor and a close second with red bean and custard! The boba here is pretty good and refreshing. I've had better tea elsewhere, but this place hits the spot (it's great for the price). There was a huge line when I stopped by so expect a bit of a wait at peak hours.

October 31, 2025 - The last place in the Vancouver food crawl was a bubble tea place called Peanuts. They are famous for their wheel cakes so I tried them. I got the cream, coconut, black sesame and matcha white chocolate. All were filled generously and not too sweet. I think my favourite was the matcha or cream one, but that's just a personal preference. read more

Mostly came here for the wheel cake and got the custard and red bean. It's not bad for the price and it's only $1 each. The red bean isn't that sweet and the custard is slight sweet. I've had better but not to bad for the price. Also got the honey black tea since it's pretty hot in this food court. The tea taste like a Chinese type of tea and it a nice refreshing tea, not too bad. read more
We happen to find this place when we were searching for a post garlic, crab bubble tea! What a great find! They've apparently been in business for a long time, and you can see why. Tons of different flavor options, the prices are very reasonable, and the small pinwheel cakes were a marvelous accompanying treat! We grabbed a mix of milk teas and blended drinks. All we're excellent and all came out quick! This spot is a great one and is well worth checking out! read more

Initially I was looking for a Pinwheel dedicated dessert shop, but later found out through photos that Peanuts actually was the shop that offered these treats alongside Boba drinks! - PARKING - There's a parking lot that connects right to the market, so it's super convenient! Be careful of crazy/fast drivers that turn the corner too quickly... witnessed at least 3 cars speeding through unsafely. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - It seems like they don't have a set menu on which flavors of Pinwheels they'll have available - they continuously make fresh ones and put different fillings as the day goes on, so you'll never know for sure what you can choose from! We had a first stop and they had Black Sesame, Matcha, and Taro. An hour later, they had Red Bean, Coconut, and Chocolate. So it's really a toss up! - FOOD - Black Sesame (~$1): Theres an option to buy 4 instead of 1 and it is a deal! Black Sesame was nicely flavored and there was a good amount of filling to breading ratio. The outside layer is a nice Mochi texture and the crust was nice and crisp! Red Bean (~$1): Again, a nice ratio of filling to breading! I personally liked Red Bean more as it was more sweet and had a nice change in texture. I also tried my friends' drinks - Passionfruit is a solid pick always, Plum was an interesting flavor but also super refreshing! - OVERALL - A great dessert and drink shop to end off your visit at the Richmond Public Market! read more
What an adorable spot in Richmond Public Market! We wanted something refreshing on the hot weekend day and found what we were looking for. We managed to beat the line twice and order when there was no wait, but the popularity of this spot suggests that it's really good to locals as well. I got the Grenadine Fruit Tea and asked for 50% sugar / 50% ice, which was refreshing but I think I could've gone up to 75%. In Seattle they make their drinks way sweeter and I'm always a 30-50% girl, but it seems like flavor palates are more mild here which is great. I've never had a grenadine flavor before -- it was yummy but I've got no idea what fruit it was supposed to be. It didn't really taste like pomegranate, which was my closest guess at the Chinese translation. The Coffee Milk Tea was also really rich -- way more authentic of a taste than I'm used to. Adorable! read more
I WHEELY wanted to try these for so long! Finally lined up to grab some wheel cakes from Peanuts Bubble Tea at the Richmond Public market after lining up to order rice rolls from Hei Hei. The order taker told me there was a 15 minute wait. I picked it up in 20 minutes and was ready in the warming display case. The timing was perfect because we were able to finish eating the rice rolls first and then enjoy the wheel cakes. My thoughts: Black sesame mochi was my favourite. It had the perfect sweetness and texture. Matcha white chocolate was delicious too and sweeter than the rest of them. Taro was not sweet at all, but tasted like they used real taro. Cheese was the gooiest and I got a good cheese pull out of it 4 for $3.25 Best deal around! Tip: Tasted better when I reheated them in the oven. Crispy on the outside and warm and gooey inside read more
I've gone here for 2 separate days to try both bubble tea and the wheelcake. Line up can be long on weekends, but I didn't mind waiting just to get some cheap tasty snacks. I got to try bubble tea on my first visit and honey dew milk tea was good. Pearls were squishy. I've never knew a BBT cafe so inexpensive until visiting Peanuts. My another visit was yesterday just to see if they had wheelcakes. I luckily made onto the time to get wheelcakes around 2. Redbean and sesame wheelcakes were tasty. Black sesame one had a sticky texture and the filling tasted pretty good. I liked both redbean and the sesame one. Service was efficient. I was first told to wait 15 minutes for the wheelcakes, but it took less than 15. I was so glad to get fresh ones as the owner was super busy on working on orders for wheelcakes. read more

Needed my caffeine fix, and decided on the coffee milk tea (less ice and 50% sugar). Good coffee and milk tea flavor, and perfect amount of ice. Maybe could've been just a tad sweeter, but overall a good pick-me-up. read more

A small unassuming food stall at the Public Market food court. I've never seen this anywhere else. There is always a line, and have to wait for the "pucks", as I like to call them, but soo worth the wait. They have multiple different flavors, both sweet and savory, but my favorite is the chocolate. They also have a large tea selection, served hot or cold, a perfect mid afternoon snack, any time of the year. read more

Great boba place in hidden away secret indoor village! Reasonable prices. Fun and delicious. Non dairy options! read more
Dropped in to Richmond Public Market to look for a snack and saw Peanuts has the longest line (3-4 persons). Waiting a around until it got quiet a bit to ponder my drink. The quiet didn't last long as another queue start up shortly after. Decided to get Peach Calpis with coconut jelly and 3 wheel cakes (cream, taro and peanut). Not sure if they changed their price recently, but didn't see an price for 4 wheel cakes, $0.85 each which is quite reasonable. The peanut has pieces of crushed peanuts and maybe thought it was peanut butter. Enjoyed the cream and taro more. read more
This shop on the second level of Richmond Public Market seems to always have a huge line. However, the quick service, amazing prices, and good quality all make it worth it. I tried one of their lemon teas. It was refreshing and flavourful, tea was sufficiently strong, and it was only ~$3.75. Note that they only accept cash. read more
Wheel cake from peanuts bubble tea !! Anyone?! Many foodies here recommend this! And finally tried and both their wheel cake and bubble tea! For wheel cake, my favourite flavour is Cheese, radish and matcha! What's yours? This shop is located at the top food court level of public market. This shop is always having a queue in front. No doubt, with this very reasonable price, everyone will go and try! read more

Super affordable bubble tea! Like around $4-5. Nowadays other bubble tea stores cost $8+!! They have a lot of options from milk teas to fruit teas, and even smoothies. I really enjoyed their pearls as well. They're also known for their wheel cakes and I got the peanut ones and cheese one! The inside is slightly undercooked but it makes the whole cake very gooey. The best part is that it's only $1 each!! read more
Must visit in Richmond. Best drinks and snacks. Located in Richmond Public market (see other review) on the upper level. Yelp says they open at 1100 but they actually open at 1030 AND closed on Tuesday's. What to order? - fruit drinks are awesome. Mango with yogurt and rice (mochi) balls and mango jelly (stars). The owner is super nice and will make your add in orders a half order so your drink won't be too packed with goodies. Papaya and pineapple are good too - their calpis drinks are refreshing if you don't want anything too filling. - milk teas are good too! So in a nutshell get anything you want here. Save room for wheel cakes. They make them at the start of the day so you'll need to wait if you come when they open. We had red bean and custard they were warm and yummy Finally their special red bean soup w mochi is good. Hot is really hot, cold is really cold. So pick wisely. read more
