Who doesn't crave a cold ice cream after a hot day at the water?! Their variety of ice creams is fantastic, even seeing lactose free options. Everything from Maple Walnut, sherbets, bubblegum and pistachio. This trip we ordered a baby size ($3.60) chocolate mint (classic and good) and rocket fuel (similar to bubblegum in taste but maybe a bit more grape tasting); they were just the right size for the kids. And we also ordered single scoops ($5.15) of the wild spicy chocolate and churro (this was my top fav that we ordered, it was the hardest/coldest one so it didn't melt quite as fast either, but the Flavor was super unique and I love that spicy hit you get) and the pineapple sherbet( very refreshing and light, perfect for a hot summer day). The ice cream was really soft and seemed to melt extremely fast, wishing it was a bit colder/harder. But after knowing that I recommend you find a seat and eat it right after you order it. Service was fast, we didn't have to wait long to order and the staff were good about double checking flavor choices. Handing us each cone as they scooped it. These places also sell a variety of floating devices for some good lake time and Sylvan Lake memorabilia. Parking in Sylvan Lake is all pretty much payment required unless you park a few blocks away.

There is also a Rewards program you can sign up for using the QR code and you get an electronic card so you don't have to worry about finding space in your wallet. What bubble teas have we tried? We always always get Taro with bobas, but a similar option but more luxurious is the Ube Deluxe. Recently we had the Mango Matcha and I think this might be my new favourite. I also remember really enjoying the Tiramisu with coffee jellies- it was sweet but had such a nice light coffee flavour. The Butterfly series is super refreshing and is so pretty when you get a trifecta of colors. We also have had the Yokult series but found it a bit over the top sweet. A well kept single bathroom, staff are super friendly. And plenty of parking out front for the whole strip mall setup. Definitely our go-to bubble tea spot whenever we pass through.

No public bathrooms noted. I ordered the Mango Boba Milk. It was way more creamy/yogurt like than I expected. Added popping jellies and mango jellies and they were great. Good flavor considering I am not a huge fan of yogurt. Very refreshing. Boyfriend got the pain coffee with tapioca. Didn't know you could get plain coffee but that's exactly what it tasted like - a latte with pearls. He was happy as it wasn't too sweet and gave him a nice caffeine kick. Price is very reasonable. Favorite bubble tea in Red Deer for sure! Can't wait to come back and try some more flavors.

Wood damage near the window fronting the main parking lot. We couldn't ask to move because we took the last seats for the evening. I killed three bugs by grabbing paper towels from the women's washroom at different times because they were coming up from the wood. Then my teenager informed me not to kill the last bug because he sees ants crawling up and will carry the last bug to their home. I couldn't see ants on my side. He was right. Carpenter ants carried the fourth dead bug back inside the damaged wood. I asked my husband and son if they wanted to leave the restaurant and we could eat elsewhere. They said no I think we'll be OK. Strike 2: Lack of communication: Our female Server kept refilling my husband's beverage without informing us or not providing an apology there will be a longer wait time for a reason. Strike 3: Wait time: Our meals took one hour to arrive at our table without any apology. Food: Berry Bison Bramble burger with fries was phenomenal! Bison Patty with blackberry jam, including fresh blackberries, crumbled, goat cheese, spinach, tomatoes, and sautéed mushrooms served on a pretzel bun took this burger to a whole new level. Womens' washroom has a beautiful decor and interior design, stocked with hygiene products at no charge. Free parking in a dedicated lot. I gave two stars for the reasons listed above. I see potential and hope to see this family business thrive in the future.

We find our place to park and make a bee line for some mini donuts for the little squirt and a sausage in a bun for me. Then we take a seat on the steps of the ice rink, listen to the pan flute and watch the crowd. The Red Deer Farmer's Market, is large, it is filled with a variety of vendors, from food to pottery, to jewelry, clothes, fruit and tons of buskers ready to entertain the masses. Going there is like a ritual for the locals as demonstrated by the large crowds it attracts. I love the atmosphere. As much as I love the market, I have to admit, I loathe the parking. Even with this negative, it doesn't detract me from loving it entirely.

I was also lucky that we parked at said lodge (which was blocked off to the public) as parking for others was indeed a nightmare. This market is huge! I ran over there in search of a cold beverage and came back with a delicious egg and bacon sandwich. I only had 15 minutes to run over there before I would get caught so I only saw 1/4 of what they had to offer and boy did it look fun. Amazing fruits and veggies, food vendors galore, homemade wares and entertainment. One could easily spend hours poking around and eating. The egg and bacon sandwich was on an incredibly fresh roll and had a generous amount of thick cut bacon on it. Thankfully the line moved quickly as the cooks operated as a well oiled machine - this was a popular stand and offered many different varieties of breakfast - you could get the traditional or back bacon for $7.50 CAD. Drinks were $3.00 CAD so I didn't have enough for both - bacon always wins!

Sometimes bubble tea places are slammed but when we arrived it wasn't too busy, but the longer we stayed the more people arrived! Not much for seating, definitely a pick up and take out kind of place. I like being able to pick regular or a jumbo size, plus options with amounts of sugar/sweetener and ice amounts! They had some seats still and a fun photo op spot. BUT absolutely no public washrooms! What we tried: New Red mango coconut Pearl coolers - amazing! With fresh mango this one was my absolute fav for flavor Yamtaro mochi milk tea - really interesting, with a classic milk tea kind of flavor. Fun to try different mochi/pearls. Kyoto Matcha cheesecake - rich and thick. Had a nice matcha flavor as well

I do appreciate that they are open later however (10pm on weekdays, 11pm on weekends, 9pm on Sunday) for those late-night boba cravings! Their interior is very inviting but it is a smaller space with a few tables and a counter to sit down at. The back of the store has a backdrop, ring light, and phone holder for those looking for a mini photo session while waiting for your drinks! The simple reason that they are not my top pick is because I've had a fair share of not-so-great flavours while exploring their selection. Many of their blends that use strawberry tastes like the artificial powder stuff vs. real fruit, and leaves a gritty mouthfeel. I've tried many of their seasonal featured drinks as well and have been left feeling disappointed more than impressed. On the other hand, their milk brulee and cheesecake series have been really good! I also enjoy their fresh avocado latte. Their pearls have also been inconsistent, sometimes being overcooked and other times, too chewy. We've also visited when they ran out of their tapioca but we were still charged full price for our drinks. This is why I think they are deserving of a 3/5 as they have a mix of great, mediocre, and not so great drinks.
