Durian is definitely an acquired taste so I know it is not for everyone. The owner was very chatty too and we were the last customers just before closing. It was great he could keep up the friendly energy at 11 pm. Store is a bit dated. However, the quality of ice cream is fantastic.

My favorite boba chain! Truedan makes the best milk tea drinks bar none. It's a very small shop, so…read moredefinitely just grab your drink and go, but service is quick and friendly. My go to drinks are the brown sugar thai milk tea (go 30% sweet), the Celadon tea latte or the original brown sugar milk tea. All are sweet and delicious in their own way. The thai milk tea is a bit different from other thai teas I've had but in a great way, the celadon has grassy floral notes and the brown sugar drink is just good old classic milk tea. Pearls are a little on the firmer side, especially for less than large normal size pearls, but it's still got good chew.

Great little boba shop!…read more Tried their Thai Brown Sugar milk tea + their regular Brown Sugar milk tea. Both great, though the winner for me is definitely the Thai brown sugar. It doesn't taste like a normal Thai tea - veers more towards a black tea, but still has that Thai tea essence. I've tried both 50% and 70% sweetness - I would recommend 50%. 70% is pretty dang sweet and 50% is also sweet enough to capture the core taste without being overbearingly. Honestly, I could've gone down to 30% since 50% is still on the sweet side. Their boba is on the more chewier side of the spectrum and also on the smaller side. Definitely recommend if you're in Calgary!

I got the match crepe cake. there was too much cream in between each layer of the crepe. On top the cream had a very weird texture. I didn't ask for the matcha sauce and they charged me for it. Well, I didn't say anything because I didn't realize they charged me for it. All in was like $6 ish. The crepe cake was small and as mentioned it was not wow. The very top layer was also over cooked or burnt (can see from my picture). The presentation was not nice either. Not sure if it was because they forgot to put the match powder on top. It did look different from the one on display. Also note that their internet didn't register the password that they have up front on a board at the till. Well, they have Shawopen in the area so it doesn't really matter to me. Selection is very limited here in terms of cakes but they have a good selection of tea blend. There are a good number of seats and tables to accommodate customers. Looks like most people just get the crepe cake to go. The other things that they also sells are croissants. Again limited selections. They have chocolate charcoal croissant and matcha croissant. This is definitely a one time visit place for me. I probably won't be back unless a friend wants to come or insist to come.

We tried the chrysanthemum milk tea, passionfruit basil green tea, lychee coconut slush, and green milk tea. Next time I'd definitely going to ask for less sugar for my drink, but the flavors were all excellent. Each drink comes with black tapioca pearls or jelly included in the price, which is a nice touch. They accept cash only, and the service was quick and efficient. We paid around $31 for four drinks. The interior is also really cute, decorated with cute little knickknacks and trinkets. Would definitely recommend if you're craving boba.

I can tell he is very "meticulous" and it shows in the taste, texture, and experience of the Bobas inside the drink itself. Sure, the drinks should be tasty but if the Boba is off even a little, it takes a lot away from the experience. My 2nd time was off when he was absent. If you are very meticulous in the Bobas by themselves, you got to try this neat place, but try to coincide w/ the slim owner working. Cheers to a wonderful Boba Tea Shop!!!!

walking around kensington, i stumbled into yummy q and it immediately felt like one of those small…read morelocal spots worth slowing down for. it's a cozy, compact shop, just a few tables tucked into a corner, but it has a lot of character. warm lighting, quiet background chatter, and artwork by jessie lin on the walls that you can actually buy. it feels like a space built with intention, not just filled for the sake of it. the menu is surprisingly wide for such a small place: drinks of all kinds, plus house made gelato and sorbet that make it hard to decide. even the details feel playful, like the cups with little cat ears on the lids. you can also customize sugar levels from 0% up to 125%, which makes it easy to get something exactly how you like it. i went with the sparkling grapefruit yakult, no sugar, and kept it simple with no toppings, even though there's a long list of options, tapioca pearls, brown sugar pearls, crystal pearls, strawberry and mango popping boba, aloe vera, crushed oreo, lychee jelly, coffee jelly, soft grass jelly, mango pudding, coconut pudding, jasmine jelly, and cheese foam. the first sip was bright and refreshing, light bubbles, a clean citrus hit, and that grapefruit sharpness coming through in a really simple, satisfying way. it worked perfectly while wandering through kensington. it's the kind of stop that reminds you why supporting small local businesses matters. places like this add personality to a neighbourhood, they're not just selling drinks, they're shaping the feel of the street. a short visit turns into a small experience, and that's what makes spots like this worth choosing over the usual chains.

I came here with my sister after dinner and I ordered the Mango Yukult Jasmine tea drink. It was a…read morebad choice to get the bubble tea here. They do uses real fruit but they are so cheap on the fruits. Only 1/10 of the drink is the real fruit and the rest is just the cheap jasmine tea (please see photo). I also watched her count the few cubes of mango. Putting in to the cup and then taking it out. The lady worried putting too much mango. There was only 6 tiny cubes before she crushed them. That is not even 1/5 of the mango. They were not even generous to add in the Yukult. They charges a premium price of $5.99 for a large. I couldn't taste the mango flavor or the yukult flavor. It was basically all water and jasmine tea. I believe they only use the fruit to give it the color of the drink. I guess this is a one time visit. The place wasn't busy when we came. I don't recommend Yummy Q. It is like throwing your money away. If you really like Jasmine tea. You can go to Chinatown or T&T and get a really big bag of Jasmine tea leafs for $3.99. All you have to do is have the tea leafs sit in hotwater and then consume. The place is newly open and if they don't change, all their customers will be one time customers only.

Another favourite of mine is the O-matcha black sesame latte and the matcha daifuku. The 16th avenue Calgary location is beautifully decorated and feels very warm, calm, and welcoming. The truly best location though is the Edmonton downtown location which has a lot more space for groups. It can get a little pricey but the quality is worth it in my opinion.

I should've gotten their seasonal strawberry or mango matcha for some flavor or any of their matcha desserts. I got the o-matcha latte, so I can taste what their matcha tastes like without any additional flavor. I couldn't taste the matcha in the drink. It was a little sweet & flavorless. I also tried the o-matcha maple syrup & salt latte. The maple flavor is subtle & adds a little flavor to the matcha. I can't really taste the matcha in this drink either.
