    Supreme mango
    Kevin E.

    Was intrigued by their Supreme mango drink so decided to make a final stop here before heading to the airport. It was good but I wouldn't say it's particularly memorable. I enjoyed the combination of mango smoothie and fresh mango chunks. The scoop of mango ice cream was hard to slurp through the straw. Also seems like they add coconut milk since there's a white layer on the bottom that added a nice sweetness to the drink. The store is located in the same parking lot as HK BBQ Master except it's even more hidden all the way in the back corner. There are several tables with chairs and they sell clothes, plushies and figurines as well.

    Cute shop that's K-Pop themed! I ended up with a pineapple shaped cup (cute!) but I struggled getting all the jelly stars and stuff outta my cup. A little pricier, but I got a bunch of extra BTS items since I apparently went on BTS Day.

    We wanted to end our trip to BC with a bubble tea drink. Since we've come to this place on previous trips, we decided to swing by this shop. Not sure why, but this visit was a little disappointing. The shop was staffed by just a couple of young ladies. So it looked like they were understaffed. We ordered several drinks and a couple of bubble waffles. There were a couple of other customers ordering before us and they were substantial orders. But it looked like there wasn't any urgency to fill those orders. It took well over an hour for us to get our drinks. When we got the drinks they were poorly made and the bubble waffles were subpar. I guess if you take that long to make drinks or food, they should at least be good. Not sure what happened. I know they were understaffed. But there was no recognition on their part that anything was wrong like "sorry for the wait" only a slow plodding along. Maybe they weren't happy about working on a Friday night or just having a bad night. I don't like giving bad reviews, but TBH this is what this is. I'll probably come back to give them another chance; but I will think twice about it. :/

    The Bubble Waffles were great. Great taste, crispy yet soft. Fruit was fresh and overall wasn't too sweet. The drinks were okay, the periwinkle is interesting, def not something I've seen at other stores since it's fizzy. Lots of options to buy many cute things in the shop. Like keychains, squshies, etc. Wish the staff knew the drinks better to be able to answer questions instead of having to ask another person.

    When we ordered the savoury egg waffle and the roasted milk tea with aloe vera, the server misheard us several times as we customized both the drink and the waffle. We spoke clearly and it seemed that she did not listen. The roasted milk tea was not roasted; it tasted like green milk tea or diluted original milk tea. Also, the egg waffle was broken in the bag upon receipt and this showed the inferior quality. It was not consisted of eggs. It was not yellow and it tasted like flour. We also could not taste the customized savoury ingredients because they were minimal in the waffle. It was not an egg waffle at all. We went back to the server and asked her if she gave us the wrong drink because it did not taste like roasted milk tea. She said it was made with half oolong tea and half assam tea. Then she offered to make us another drink so we told her we wanted original milk tea without pearls with less ice and no sugar. However, she gave us the milk tea with pearls and with a lot of ice with a smile. Then, she and the other co-worker went to hide in the back kitchen immediately. That was not nice. We left the drink on the counter and we left. P.S. The splinter from the wooden fork hurt my sister's finger as she used the fork. They obviously do not care about customers.

    We had two great drinks at the bubble tea shop to enjoy with our Chinese BBQ. Mango Mojito and Taro Milk tea with boba. Both were delicious and we go again. Kind of a funky shop full of all sorts of tchotchke. Service can take a bit of time, but both drinks were tasty.

    I stopped by here for bubble tea recently. The shop has quite a bit of nice Japanese toys and accessories. They have an extensive menu and the prices seem quite reasonable. I tried their Grapefruit bubble tea with pearls. It was good overall.

    Original bubble waffle w/ milk tea mochi $7, There was quite a bit of mochi filling which was pretty chewy, I do wish the milk tea flavor was stronger though! The waffle itself had the crispy edges with the soft centre as well, however it did get cold fairly easily. Overall it's not bad but I would prob just get it without mochi! Red velvet parfait $10: One red velvet bubble waffle w/ brownies, whipped cream, ice cream, cornflakes, and cheesecake bites - this was huge! My friend had this & it was pretty good although it does get very very sweet towards the end. Lots of creamy and crunchy textures in this treat! Yakult green tea, $5.25, 7.5/10: Light & refreshing with a sweet and tangy taste! The sugar is fixed since it's yakult but it was at the right level of sweetness since the green tea flavoring was added even though I didn't taste it much. A good pairing with the waffle! I haven't been here since 2019 and everything still looks the same! The bubble tea shop does get quite busy after 8pm for their dine in and take out orders on a Friday night, so I waited about 10 minutes for these. The place has around 6-7 tables which can get a little tight when the shop is at full capacity. Overall prices are pretty standard and it's a chill place to hangout for bbt/dessert!

    Dude, the bubble tea/bubble waffle game in the Richmond/Vancouver area is SERIOUS. So serious, that a cop laughingly told us " We have more boba tea shops than Starbucks locations here" as we were looking for this bookmarked location. Look for the Super Store, head towards the parking area, and you will pass HK BBQ Master, (another noteworthy stop!) and you'll ultimately find this location at the far end. Entering the shop, you'll see all kinds of toys for sale and pictures of their bubble waffle and drink creations plastered all over which may confuse you, especially if it's your first time here. After workers had mentioned their popular items and personal favorites, I kept eyeing the picture of the Mango Supreme, a limited seasonal special so I went with that adding boba, and skipping out on a bubble waffle because we were planning to hit up that HK BBQ spot we passed earlier. It must've been mango season here because I LOVED my drink! Mango slush with mango pudding with boba topped with mango ice cream and more fresh mango.YUM!!! I wish I knew what kind of mango it was, because it was so soft and sweet with a deep egg yolk color. (Alfonso Mango maybe???) From that point on, I made sure to order anything mango on any menu. It's great that they have other locations because maybe next time we'll try a bubble waffle creation. This place must be very popular, because when we left, ther wasn't any empty seats! ALOHA!!! SHAKA METER: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 5

    Saw this place as I was walking by it to go to HK BBQ Master. Plenty of parking in the garage and outdoor lots. We got there right when it opened! The store also has cuts little stuffed animals, key chains, and other small toys they sell. It makes for cute decor. They have TV screens for you to look at the menu. We decided on an original HK egg waffle (condensed milk with peanut butter) and a Matcha Egg Wafe Ice Cream Parfait. The food took a little while to be made. She brought out our desserts, and they were beautiful. Very instagram worthy. I do wish the egg waffles themselves were a little warmer, as it seemed they sat there for a while. But nonetheless, they were still delicious. I love peanut butter and condensed milk together, and the waffle itself had good flavor. Especially the matcha egg waffle. You could really taste the matcha. The parfait was delicious. And even though I was super full, I still kept eating. The strawberries that came with the parfait were sweet. The cornflakes were all the way at the bottom, and it was pretty hard to get out. I would prefer if they sprinkled it on there, or layered it a little better. The red bean was tasty (even though I'm not a huge red bean fan). They also have free water at the side with the other utensils. As well as free wifi. This place was a nice surprise. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in Vancouver!

    There's cool variety of drinks and waffle desserts here. Along with food and drinks, the have a cool BTS theme throughout the place, such as selling BTS products, in addition to small toys, models and plush. The staff are very attentive and helpful, however there tends to be a wait to get the order or services.

    Mango Cheesecake Bubble Waffle ($9.75+tax)
    Mandy T.

    Everytime I shop at Superstore, I have a craving to stop by and get one of their waffles (since they are located in the Superstore parking lot). The waffles smell and taste great! Depending on the topping you get, it can get pricey though. I've tried: Mango Cheesecake bubble waffle - Super filling with the cubes of cheesecake but I found the cheesecake too heavy and didn't add anything to enhance the dessert. The fresh mangoes and waffle went well together though. Cookies and Cream bubble waffle - My favorite so far, love the cream cheese dip it comes with and the oreo cookie crumble on top. I have yet to try their BBT. They look really pretty and you can get 2 flavors if you want in 1 cup. But after the waffles, getting a BBT too would be too much sugar for my body to handle! Oh, they are also a cube shop and have an old school arcade game at the back which keeps the kiddies and some adults entertained while waiting in line / eating in.

    This tiny place with its entrance within a garage under a Real Canadian Superstar is AMAZING! This is one of those shops that keep a focused menu of bubble tea variations including smoothies, etc. plus Hong Kong style egg waffles. That's all. And it's perfect that way. We opted for the Mango Supreme Smoothie (seasonal, based on availability of fresh mangoes), made with real mangoes, with mango chucks, mango ice cream, and mango jello. Hubba Hubba! It was SOOOO good!! I need to return many more times to try more of the menu. Based on the other reviews, this place is very promising. Be sure to check out the specialty items that are displayed with individual photos on the counter side. They're worth it. This shop also sells a bunch of trinkets. From the outside, it can look a bit misleading. Don't worry. You're at the right place! :) This place closes at 11:30pm on Fri, Sat. It's a great to come here for an after dinner dessert treat!

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.

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.
