    Wintermelon milk tea
    Chelsey H.

    Olympic Village needed a bubble tea shop. I see some not so great reviews which kind of surprises me! I ordered a wintermelon milk tea - half sweet, less ice with pearls and a original bubble waffle. The pearls were perfect the day I went, and I guess the deal with wintermelon milk tea is that wintermelon taste usually comes from a juice, so making something half sweet, probably means that they added less juice, so the normally powerful wintermelon milk tea flavour wasn't too strong, but I still really enjoyed my drink! My friends got strawberry fresh fruit milk with pearls and they loved their drink! And the bubble waffle? Perfect! Eating it hot was good, but I actually love letting it cool off a bit and it gets this really nice chewy waffle texture that you get after a few minutes. Grab a bubble tea, and explore one of Vancouver's millennial hip neighbourhoods.

    Sunrise bubble waffle topped with ice cream

    We tried the sunrise waffle icecream and found it delicious! The vanilla ice cream was perfect together with the sliced mangoes and strawberries. It was just the right amount of sweetness and the presentation was fantastic. A perfect dessert for any day, regardless of the weather outside! We also ordered the pearl milk tea and blueberry slush with egg pudding and grass jelly... And the difference in quality between the drinks and dessert could not have been more clear. The milk tea tasted really bland, nowhere near the quality of Chatime or Gongcha. The pearls were average, better than T&T's pearls... The blueberry slush was fine. Taste was average. Egg pudding and grass jelly were good. If you are thinking of coming down here for bubble tea, I would recommend a different location. But if you're around the area and are craving some bubble waffle/ice cream, then this is the place for you! 4/5

    Thai Red Tea w/ Mango Pudding & Matcha Red Bean Egg Waffle

    The shop is really cute - this one is a bit smaller than their other locations but it still has the same nostalgic aesthetic and vibe. Like their downtown location, the seating area is pretty cramped. The service is pleasant. The drink I tried this time was the Thai Red Tea with Mango Pudding. I like that they offer the Thai tea in both red and green. This was actually one of the better Thai teas I've tried from a place that doesn't specialize in Thai tea. They serve it without mixing the tea and condensed milk (as opposed to the homogeneous texture you'll get at a lot of bubble tea places) so you can mix or not to your liking. The mango pudding was a little weird with this drink, I think due to a combination of the drink having less of an artificial taste than I expected and the pudding having more. The chunks were almost rubbery which got in the way of actually tasting the mango. I think the mango pudding would be good with a fruity drink or other sweet flavour like vanilla which could help bring out the mango flavour, but with the minimally sweet Thai tea it didn't work so well. I also got their Matcha Red Bean Egg Waffle. I really like the texture and savouriness of their waffle, but I could barely taste the matcha, which you could guess from looking at how the waffle was hardly green - they definitely just need to use more. For both the drinks and waffles the prices get pretty high.

    waffles (my fav is matcha flavour but mochi was good as well) + x2 : Oreo and duo cup

    Been to that place many times since the store just across of street from my building . Lots of variety of beverages , waffles and toppings and many choices of vegan milks as well . They don't have cheese mousse for that I took down one star .

    Delicious, lots of different flavour combinations to try from!…read more Friendly staff, and willing to modify different flavours to create what you're looking for. Have been going here for 3-4ish years, same quality, theres been drinks i haven't liked but then so many i have but what I may not like could be another persons yum and what i like might be another persons yuck. Can find whatever you're looking for, not only just cold bubble tea but you can get hot drinks, icecream, food, sweets and more! Definitely worth trying it out :)

    We had dinner just a few shops away from here and decided to stop here for some bubble tea after…read moredinner. They had a weekly special on: Brown Sugar KitKat Greentea Cheesecake. We got one of those and a Durian Smoothie. I think we somehow missed the Greentea part of this drink cuz when we got it, hubby and I were both surprised at how green the drink was. It's only now that I look back at the photo I took of the menu that I realize the word Greentea was in the name of the drink so...not so surprising anymore that our drink was green. I honestly didn't taste much Greentea in it though. Mostly I tasted KitKat and Brown Sugar. Didn't taste any kind of Cheesecake flavor in it. It wasn't a bad drink but I think I prefer the fruity drinks that we've had from this place in the past. I think I'd have also preferred this drink to be slightly less sweet than it was. We brought our drinks home and had them while watching a movie. Hubby sat further back in the room while our daughter and I sat in the front of the room, but I could still smell the Durian smoothie from where we were sitting!

    I came across this cafe on google search and decided to try it out with a couple of my friends on…read moreour girls coffee It is a small cozy cafe split with a florist. Selections are decent. however the menu is very confusing as they have a posted menu online, a digital menu via QR code and some posted menus. Unfortunately the menus were not in sync. My friend saw a couple of things she wanted to try from the online menu and was told they do not have those items. There are combo on the spot which are not their online menu and the digital menu. We ordered the chicken panini, a small mango bingsu and an order of tue mochi bubble waffle and taro milk tea. The food is very good. there is decent amount of ingredients in the chicken panini (which i forgot to take a picture of). The mochi bubble waffle was decent and i liked the taro milk tea as well. The bingsu was very well made but the price is a bit on the high end given the size. Overall service was good too

    A fun hole in the wall dessert spot x flower shop!…read more Essentially there's a dessert counter in a shared space with a flower shop operated by the one owner - super adorbable concept, the boss was so nice to introduce his menu to us as well! Located on the same block as quite a few other popular HK dessert spots, I more inclined to go to Rose Cafe because it's quieter and a more comfortable environment to relax and sit around in. The boss mentioned they can make anything for us (!) including ginger milk, the sago desserts and that they event have the pistachio paste (yum!). For a quick dessert run - I opted for the small mango shaved iced, it's served with nice and ripe mango chunks, and a fresh mango shaved ice base. For just about $10 it's worth the dessert stop! They had a nice menu of several classic HK items - from deep fried chicken wings, to bubble waffles to pearl based drinks that only HK locals would order. Worth a try if and when you're in the Nanaimo / Kingsway area! Also (!) - very reasonably priced flowers and potted plants!!!

    Overall good drinks, but customer service is a little sub par. I asked a few questions and got some…read moreshort answers, seems like only one person working the entire store. 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.

    This is one of the better boba spots I have tried in Richmond where they have some creative drinks…read moresuch as the ones with panna cotta and mochi. 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.
