48 Best Bubble Tea in Vancouver

“First time in this place and will definitely come back. I love bubble tea and i can’t believe I didn’t try this place before! i always struggle to find good dairy free milk tea options, let alone one with cream! Loved to see they also have To Live For and Bonus Bakery baked goods. My non-vegan boyfriend usually doesn’t love the flavour of plant-based milk but loved his drink too.Nuttea offers fresh tapioca pearls and real fruit in the smoothies, smooth slightly savory plant-based cream, amazing overall flavour and excellent service. 5/5 for me ?Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options (drinks and bakery)Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free options (drinks and bakery)“

“The drinks at this location are good and their loyalty stamp card is a nice incentive to keep coming back.However, on our last visit, the staff told us that he will not stamp our card for purchasing our drinks online. We said okay, but he felt the need to voice his frustration that he is 'losing money' from the commission he pays the food ordering app.It was an awkward interaction, and it felt like we were being shamed for ordering through the app for pickup. But we probably would not have thought to order from Happy Lemon tonight, if we did not see their business scrolling on the app.The stamp card is a fun incentive for us to keep coming back to eventually earn a free drink. Maybe they are missing the point of a loyalty card?“

“Took my kid for bubble tea and a cat meet and greet. The staff was lovely and were very patient with our slow ordering. The cat habitat was really clean and well maintained and the staff member answered questions about the cats while herding both cats and people (I'm actually really impressed).The tea here is great I got the vanilla fog? I think it was called. It was a cold vanilla earl grey milk tea that was very tasty and my kid got one of the fruit blends with mango stars and crystal jellies. I've never personally seen or heard of crystal jellies but they take on the flavor of the drink a bit and are kind of like a softer tapioca ball. My kid loved them.I reccomend arriving early to get drinks before your appointment as everyone tends to show up and try to order the second before their appointment. That said, the staff member that comes into the habitat can take orders as well. Be aware last call for drinks is 30 minutes before the last session ends which was 17:30 for us as they closed at 18:00.Overall really awesome. Thanks Catoro we enjoyed our trip!Parking: On the weekend there is parallel parking along the block in front of the Cafe, we didn't have a hard time finding parking late on a Sunday but that may not hold true during the day or during the week.Kid-friendliness: I would recommend not bringing younger kids or kids who don't listen for the sake of the cats and the staff.Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair accessible with a lift in the main lobby and first level access to the cat habitat.“

“Strawberry cheesecake bingsu- came with a scoop of ice cream on top, bowl lined with whipped cream cheese, and hidden corn flakes and cheese cake bits on the bottom. Absolutely delightful. There was a bit of wait for tables though. Lots of groups hanging out here.“

“She’s very nice but it’s hard for her understanding when I say my order so I wrote it down and the drinks and food are very good and the strawberry milk with pearls that I always get is better than the other bubble tea stores because they add a tiny bit more tea and makes it kinda more sugary and the drinks from this store is balanced. I really love this bubble tea store!“

“True service, such a nice server I tried to tip but accidentally put one cent in instead of $1 for take away coffee… ? and he was so sweet about it, said don’t worry and had good sense of humour - the type of people you really want to tip!!!“

“Friendly amazing customer service tonight. Thank you to Matt for being accommodating to my friends and I. Pulling up extra seats and even joining in on the fun we had.“

“Great Food and thanks for your face mask on delivery services“

“The free delivery service is really convenient! It’s also particularly good if it’s open until 00.30! I have ordered a lot. My family and I all love ordering when we have guests. The ingredients are non-chemical, so I like it very much (not a professional, but a personal opinion). The delivery clerk is always very kind. I just happened to go to the store today and encountered a mango milk-covered green tea sample and asked for it. It was so generous and delicious! make my day!!!! Thank you ? (I love the fact that there is a parking lot♡I like to order fruit tea and choose sugar-free, which is just right for me!“

“Great food, great services and prices so low I had to tell the owner to raise them so asbto actually make money! 5 stars based on taste and value.“

“It's my first time being this restaurant and I love it. The serving is fast, the waitress is friendly, and the food is delicious. I ordered MaPo tofu and Unagi (grilled eel) fried rice. And the bubble tea is very good too. Good price !!“

“It’s a nice and cozy little store that I’ve been going since 2020ish(during the pandemic) their pearls are always soft and chewy. My favorite orders are the purple rice drink, fresh taro, and roasted oolong. They also give student discount making their bbt very “

“Metre street parking available only, no laptops after 5pm and laptop limited to only one hour. Need space with greens and some sort of cultural umbrella that dims the lighting.Parking: No parking.Kid-friendliness: Cafe by day and bar at night so I assume it’s not possibleWheelchair accessibility: Doors don’t open auto but there are chairs that can be moved away for wheelchair or stroller“

“I was craving a real good milky tea with boba and I found it here! The interior was so cute! I love the Island in the middle and the look of it overall. My fiancé and I went here right when they opened and they were so nice and let us know it may take a couple more minutes than usual since they literally just opened the door haha - Overall, staff was friendly and understanding.I ordered the Yin Yang Milk Tea (as pictured) and it was delicious! It was my first time trying this type of tea ever and they got me hooked! If you love Hong Kong Milk Tea, I feel like you'd love this. The coffee in it too was perfection! They brew Assam black tea and put a double shot of Prototype Espresso with a drizzle of evaporated milk. I miss it already! I want to return already but I'm in Ontario so...you know haha“

“Absolutley Delicious !!! ❤“

“Great place to try your favorite Taiwanese Milk Tea.. The location is inside the train station so kinda difficult to look for but there are signages outside so you won’t need to worry.The place open late so please wait as perfection takes time.. The store was clean even the washroom during our time of visit. The service was fast and the boba was fresh.. Yummy!! I think everything was fresh.There is no parking available and only limited seats available so if you want to order I also suggest doing it in Doordash or Ubereats as they are also available in those flatforms.The Signature Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk Tea is a must-try.Wheelchair accessibility: Thru elevator“

“Best experience I ever had. Had the best hospitality and customer service. The owners were so sweet and heartwarming and the food is just as Good. I’ve tried almost everything at the cafe and the taste is just outstanding. Their paneer and spicy chicken sandwich is def something one shouldn’t miss. They recently rebranded their name to Place2Be and that is so perfect because it is the PLACE TO BE!!!“

“great location and great boba at Angelove! the man who works there is efficient and dedicated. they have a large variety of types of drinks from slushes to milkshakes to just plain tea, all at varying but affordable prices! i’ve been there many times and their mango stars are the best on hastings (or even in east van!).Kid-friendliness: the man behind the counter also handles photography for passports and is very kind and patient especially with children and small babies“

“Lovely owner & amazing passion fruit bubble tea. My bubble waffle was delish.“

“Personally found the drinks better than the food they provide. Ordered the Yakult Strawberry Yogurt and the Strawberry Banana Yogurt. Both were good choices and a change of pace from the regular milk tea places. The consistency is more thick but still smooth to drink. If you haven't tried this place yet, I would go and find out how good an alternative to milk teas and other teas can be. What brought my rating down was the food experience. The Matcha Yuzu Bun was really hard to eat (literally could not use the plastic spoon to break into the bun) and seemed bland. Overall, great drinks and the space is moderately nice to sit and spend some time with others. Does not hold a lot of people. The worker was also nice and friendly.“

“Been here few times for their fried chicken, trying the new beef noodle soup for the first time.Great soup base, beef are really tender, friendly staff as well! I’d say one of the best beef noodle I’ve had in the area, highly recommend!“

“I think the experience has to do with the food u order. I was here another time and it wasn’t as pleasant. Glad I gave it a second chance . I’m going to stick to ordering the same thing when I return.The dishes in the attached photo:Spicy beef noodlesSquid tentacles (ask for a dipping sauce)Taro slush with coconut jellyPassionfruit green teaThe male server gave really good service too. Not sure if it’s because it wasn’t too busy but he was really attentive and didn’t rush us out. We ended up tipping 20% which is considerably high for a casual bubble tea establishment.“

“Spacious cafe with spread out seats. Service is quick, the staff is kind, and if the drink isn't as expected, they're happy to help adjust it to your liking.They have some interesting latte flavours. Overall, it's a good place for a break.Parking: Free 1 hr street parking infront of the store.“

“Great Bubble Tea! The Deerioca Series is my favorite, I can customize my milk options and the brown sugar pearls are always so satisfying!Dietary restrictions: milk alternatives availableKid-friendliness: caffeine free optionsWheelchair accessibility: no stairs“

“I recently visited Gong Cha bubble tea on W Pender St and had a wonderful experience. The store had a cozy and inviting atmosphere with cute decor. The staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain their menu and make recommendations. I ordered a classic bubble milk tea, and it was delicious! The tea was perfectly brewed, and the boba was cooked just right. The pricing was reasonable for the size and quality of the drink. Overall, I highly recommend and can't wait to go back and try more of their drinks.“

“awesome food, family-run business, look forward to going back again soon!“

“Mung cho em, Lam an phat tai Nhe. Banh Mi ngon tuyet“

“I recently tried the best bubble tea ever! I ordered the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea and the signature Milk Foam Black Tea. Both drinks were increadibly tasty, I feel comfortable and peaceful in mind. Service is also a plus, they are friendly and professional. I'll definitely be coming back for more whenever I get the chance.“

“Consistent high quality. Best pearl in town!“

“Dropped by Boketto recently since I was in the River District Area to visit a friend. I wanted a simple sweet drink to bring home and to have a local boba tea shop in the area is truly nice to see. I wished my neighborhood was the same too.... But anyways, this little café was so cute.I didn't really spend much time here inside of the café, I was mostly outside because my friend brought out his doggie, so we can go for a nice walk around the neighborhood. The café also has cute little seating area outside too!! It was a perfect spring day too, so a boba in hand with a friend and their doggie for a nice walk!!I ordered their Strawberry Matcha as I have always loved a good matcha. On top of that, I was just craving strawberries recently. So I might as well order their signature drink. I didn't want toppings so maybe that is why they gave it to me in a smaller cup, but their straws available were only the big ones... I wanted the small straws. That's ok. Anyways, I did enjoy the cup of matcha. And it was perfectly layered. Love that aesthetic look. Well done Boketto.Will be back for more drinks in the future and maybe bring a couple more friends.“

“I love this place! The bubble tea is delicious - not sure which one I like best because they all taste great. However, recently I tried both the mango passionfruit bubble tea and the cocoa bubble tea - both were SO good! The staff are excellent - very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Our visit to Chatime at Broadway was truly delightful! I indulged in the signature milk tea, while my coworkers savored the Mango QQ and Mango Juice with Pearls and Coconut. Every sip was bursting with flavor, and the tapioca pearls added an extra dimension of delight. The friendly service and welcoming ambiance made our experience even more enjoyable. If you're in the mood for delicious and refreshing beverages, Chatime is the place to go! Highly recommended!“

“High quality ingredients“

“good and cheap. some meals come with a drink roo.“

“I love this place so much!!! The service is great, the prices are amazing and the drinks are always delicious! I love getting they’re green teas and fresh fruit slushes. They have a great variety of food, drinks, and other great desserts! And the lady who commonly works there is kind and always gets my order correct! It always brings a smile to my face when I come here, and I will definitely keep coming here! Great place would definitely recommend this amazing family ran business!“

“Ordered the mango sago slush and the pineapple oat milk. The mango slush is so good! Just the right amount of sweetness and it’s very refreshing. The pineapple oat milk tasted very sweet even though I ordered 50% sugar, and I didn’t taste the pineapple much. However, overall I think this is a good place for fruity drinks and their pearls are good.“

“yummmm i got the mango pomelo sago and it was sooo good, very fresh, and a perfect refresher after dinner. one of my friends got the strawberry refresher (i think?) and that was way better than i expected! no artificial flavours at all compared to other bbt spots, i will def get that next time! lots of seating and very clean ?“

“Very tasty boba, and quite a wide range of menu options! Their price is on the higher side of things, but their taste is quite worth it. It is in a corner in the international food court, a bit sketchy, but that's where all of the good food is tbh. I highly recommend their four season milk tea :)Parking: Paid parking nearby“

“they have really good bubble tea“

“Been here several times now, but finally decided write a review after another great visit. Young woman running the shop today was super nice and made an excellent osmanthus rice milk tea. Diverse menu with options not available at most bbt shops. Excellent execution everytime and relatively “cheap”: easily one of my faves bbts in Vancouver. Only knock against it is that they’re sometimes take a bit longer to make the drinks“

“Absolutely LOVE the pandan and ube waffles. Can’t believe they are gluten free! It is so hard to find delicious treats that are gluten free and these taste like the real deal. Hot and fresh and unlike any other waffles I have tried. Their che and boba are also delicious and they offer authentic options as well as dairy free versions too. Very impressed! Have been back a few times now.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and dairy free options available.“

“PROS:Have really on tried the spicy beef noodle soup, bbq pork fried rice, duck fried rice, and spicy won tons. They all have been tasty or satisfactory. No complaints in the taste department from me.CONS:I used to eat here twice a week at least when they had the 10% off when ordering online, but since the removal, I have eaten there a few times since last year.The price is similar to restaurant food, so a bit expensive considering it is food court food. Maybe this is due to the addition of the "free" drink. Maybe it is now due to the cost of food.The "free" drink included with some of the items should be removed. One reason is because of the cup fee in Vancouver. The other is that I don't care much for the drinks. Choice would be nice and hopefully will reduce the price of the meal and reduce unnecessary waste.“

“I got the B2 meal which was stir fried noodles w/ lemongrass chicken and steamed crepes. I thought the meal tasted pretty good (well seasoned chicken and noodles, tasty crepes) and the location was convenient in this food court. I found out that the "steamed crepe" is called a banh cuon (steamed rice roll) after looking it up, and I have to say it was the best part of the meal. I'll want to visit this place again whenever I come back to Vancouver.“

“Yi Fang always has great drinks and I love their seasonal menu. It's pricey, so I only come when there is a deal on one of the food delivery app. Service is just OK. They are selling tea egg and Dinesty's frozen dumplings now. I'll have to come back to check them out.“

“2024/4/15 I went to see cherry blossoms nearby. I thought there wasn’t much hot sugar water, but I didn’t know it was made on demand. Very satisfied. After opening at four o'clock, I sat there for an hour. There were very few people. It was mainly a night market. Will definitely come again!“

“Cute, small and cozy place. First Pho I had in Vancouver. I had their "Rare Steak Pho". The portion for a Small was really filling. There was a good amount of meat in the soup. The rice noodles were perfect. The soup base itself was a little more sweet than I like, however the slice of jalapeno that they gave me with the bean sprouts balanced out the flavor perfectly. Overall I really enjoyed my meal!“

“Would highly recommend! They responded quickly to my cake inquiry and provided various options, service was great all the way through, and I was absolutely blown away with the beautiful cake they delivered! The inside of the cake was fresh and soft (unlike some others that have been premade for a few days in order to get decorated).Overall, I was extremely happy with it and would definitely order again!“

“Wonderful place for an afternoon tea.“
