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$???

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!

Always making fresh wheel cakes

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.

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!

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.

Oolong milk tea and fruit tea

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.

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.

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

Taro Wheel Cake

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.

Original milk tea with boba
Karen W.

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.

Second floor in the food court area
Karen T.

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.

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!

wheel cart making
Jessica W.

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.

He rang us up, then ran behind curter to make our drinks. It didn't seem too busy here so maybe it was manageable for him. Typically all sold out of the mochi... was actually sold out of a lot of items (see picture of menu) No public bathroom or bathrooms available to customers. Located in strip mall with other businesses, parking is free.

I personally tried the cheese foam black tea with mochi and golden pearls which costed close to 10CAD. The cheese foam was slightly salty and pretty creamy, and the taste is much more pronounced when you dip the plain mochi into the drink. The mochi itself was slightly soft though a bit uneven in texture as some parts are chewy and some parts are already a little bit dry. I do like they nicely wrapped the mochi in a plastic bag to preserve the moisture, though I ended up trying it out immediately to get the maximum freshness. The tea itself is flavorful and not too sweet, which is what I intended because I opted for light sugar (30%). The golden pearls were pretty chewy and are the right preferred texture. While I liked the general quality of the drinks, like other reviews mentioned, the price of the drinks are a bit on the higher end but the quality did not really scale up compared to a good boba spot.

This place has been around for many years but I've only now gotten around to trying it…read more It's a cute little place. The walls are decorated with pictures from Europe and the teacups are very "British." Besides scone and tea, you can get regular food here as well such as fries, salt & pepper chicken, and radish cake to name just a few. You can also get cold drinks like juice & bubble tea, and bubble tea drinks here too. So...not your typical British style Afternoon Tea joint. Kind of half restaurant, half tea place. My friend had a pot of Leisure Fresh Fruit tea and a scone. We'd already had lunch a bit earlier and while my friend had room for a scone, I had zero room in my stomach for any food so I just had a pot of Longan Red Date tea. It was a cold day so a pot of hot tea really hit the spot. I thought it a bit pricy at first, but when the tea came, I saw that the teabags were Fortnum & Mason teabags. That is a very a prestigious company from all the way over in England. When I realized we were drinking Fortnum & Mason tea, all of a sudden $10.25 didn't seem so extravagant any more. My friend said her scone seemed like more of a biscuit than a scone. It came with butter and jam. I think she wished there had been some clotted cream to go with it. I can't say too much about the food as I only had one pot of tea but I was impressed that it was Fortnum & Mason tea, and I very much enjoyed the flavor of the Longan & Red Dates in my tea.

This location is the one I tend to come across the most cause I usually am visiting the mall. The shop sticks out with it's red design. It's just a pretty small boba vendor shop that's kind of hidden away. The menu is basically a screen running a video so that it animates and loops. There's quite of a selection of drinks on it though. Most of them are on the sweeter side with their cookies and cream shake. They've got a lot of crazy drinks going on, but I'm a simple man that likes his simple drinks and lately, I've been very much into the #8 fresh jade lemon green tea. Because the drinks are pretty sweet I usually adjust it to like 75% sweetness. I also adjust the ice level to get more for my buck and ask for less ice. Hard to judge boba shops in my opinion. Especially since any adjustments I make to my drink is on me and not on the shop. Service was quite fine. Only one person was on the job when I was there, but I've seen two people there before. One to make drinks and the other manning the cashier. Overall, I thought my drink turned out fine. Just have to adjust by trial and error to get the right sweetness down for yourself. If you come across one of these shops, check it out.

Your average bubble tea shop. There was a promo for a 3.99 floral latte (osmathus/Jasmine/rose…read moreteas) with purchase of a large drink, so we decided to try something new. It could be served hot or cold. The osmanthus flavour did come through but the drink tasted watery overall, not sure if it was because we chose cold and there was ice. The whipped cream on top was a nice surprise! Service was quick despite a busy store and lots of takeout orders. They were also able to answer questions we had about the promo and drinks. Large accessible parking lot made the store easy to pick up drinks. If you dine-in, there is plenty of seating in the store.
