    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$???

    Lemon iced tea

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Sweet Memory - Pineapple Shaved Ice

    A cozy Taiwanese family restaurant serving a nice selection of Taiwanese street food and desserts…read more We came here mainly for dessert and ordered the tofu pudding with yam balls. The tofu pudding was AMAZING - freshly made with a delicate soy milk flavor, silky smooth and melts in your mouth. The yam balls are equally impressive, nice yam flavor with just the right amount of chewiness. I could happily eat this all day!

    Sweet Memory is a Taiwanese spot open late in Richmond with a convenient, shared parking lot…read more Overall, I'd say the savory food and boba felt like huge misses, but the shaved ice was super unique and delicious. I feel like their other dessert options probably have potential and I can see this being an excellent post dinner hang out spot. Turkey On Rice (3.75/5): Rice and gravy was tasty, but turkey was a bit overcooked and kinda chewy. Black Sesame Mochi (3.75/5): This came out piping hot and the flavors were good (can't go wrong with black sesame and peanuts), but the texture of the actual mochi wasn't as chewy as I like. Satisfying, but not anything special. Taiwanese Sausage on Sticky Rice (2/5): Not sure what the red sauce was, but I really was not a fan; too sweet and had a weird funk to it. Taiwanese sausage also didn't have the right texture or flavor, you want the signature big chunks of fat. Pineapple Shaved Ice (4/5): Decently fluffy shaved ice and the pineapple was candied like the inside of a pineapple cake. Grass jelly sat at the bottom of the bowl and added an extra satisfying jello texture. Traditional Fresh Milk Tea (1/5): Way too sweet and the tea flavor was kinda bland. Maybe the other drinks are better.

    Hole-in-the-wall gem of a find we stumbled upon after going to Costco. At first when we went…read moreinside, I think I wasn't the only one in our party of 9 to wonder what the heck we walked into and wondered if we should leave. The decorations are dated and they have a couch and TV riiiiight behind the ordering counter, lol. God bless the Chinese uncle that owns and runs the place... he and the lady taking the order barely spoke English, so we stumbled with our Mandarin. I think they even spoke Taiwanese with each other?!? Instead of ordering multiple drinks, we just ordered the one mango lover's coconut pudding. Honestly, we didn't know what the heck we ordered and we ordered it to go. It took a little while to prepare, but when it came we were presented with a coconut wrapped in cellophane. We were intrigued and had to open it right then and there. We were treated to a coconut FILLED with fresh mango, mochi, and pudding... all in a fresh coconut - the coconut meat was thin, so you knew it was juicy and fresh! My oldest kid did his best to claim it all for himself as we all wanted a taste. In the end, we did the only thing logical and had to order a second. I would absolutely, hands-down, recommend this place. The family that owns the place deserves our patronage and they've earned it in their own humble way. God bless.
