“The workers there were very polite, and even though one of them were still learning, they made sure we got our drinks in a timely manner. While there weren't a lot of seats, it was luckily, not a busy day, so we were able to sit at a table no problem.“

“Been coming here since I was a kid, and I’m almost 30 now. This is the BEST spot for delicious, fresh, and crazily cheap bbt. Honestly I think they should raise their prices because that’s how good it is. This shop is owned by the sweetest family 💕💕“

“yogost is my favorite drink place in the area, somehow it's hard to find one like this that doesn't focus on coffee or tea. the price is a bit high and wish they had some menu changes to keep things fresh occasionally though, although they do have a good variety of choices“
“I recently visited Butterfly Tea & Dessert and it was honestly such a great experience. The first thing that stood out was the variety of bubble tea they offer — there are so many options, from classic milk teas to ice cream slushes and even more fruit tea options. No matter what you’re into, there’s definitely something for you. The toppings selection is also really good, with different pearls, jellies, and foams that are very cheap to add in your drink. The quality of the drinks were amazing too. The flavors tasted fresh and well-balanced, and the pearls had the perfect chewy texture — not too hard or too soft. You can tell they actually care about making their drinks properly.
The atmosphere was another highlight. I have to mention hoe cute the owner decorated the shop with all the different kpop posters and merch. In addition, shop has a really kpop vibes and posters to take a photo with. Making it a nice place to hang out with friends or just relax. It’s clean, well-decorated, and has a welcoming feel that makes you want to stay longer.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re into bubble tea or just looking for a chill spot to enjoy desserts and drinks.“

“Don’t be fooled by its modest unassuming front, Paradise Juice is a hidden gem in the Crystal Mall food court!
I always get the Paradise Special “Mango Ice cream” which is much closer to a blended mango milkshake than scoopable ice cream. I can’t believe it’s under $5, half the price of many glitzier Boba places nearby. The drink is thick and pulpy, made with real ripe mango rather than powders. A lot of times, drink places will use too much ice in blended drinks to cut down on costs but I found the Mango ice cream to be rich and smoothly blended. It’s just the right amount of sweetness and a refreshing beverage to have with hot noodle soup or stir fry. Paradise juice, like much of the Crystal mall food court, may be no frills in its store front but simply cannot be beat in price and quality! Make sure to bring cash though as they do not accept card like many places in the food court.“

“Been a few times to Macu Tea. They have three other locations (DT, Kerrisdale and Burnaby). Wait is 15 to 30 min. Drinks are $6.00 to $8.75. Nice that they put a small bench at the back.
- ACE strawberry avocado smoothie ($8.75) - slightly too icy. Would be better if they blended the strawberries fully
- Premium orange li-li tea ($7.75)
- Bo-bo grape smoothie ($8.25) - green tea jelly and bo-bo (agar) were good. Thick, smooth texture. One of their best flavours
- Grapefruit li-li with honey drink ($7.95) and boba ($1.00 extra) - plain but a good chew. Real bits of tart grapefruit“

“Cheap and yummy. Pearls are free of charge + you’re able to mix two fruits for free. Service is a little slow, but there’s a lot of seating and you’re able to connect to the McDonald’s wifi next door.
I got the Hong Kong milk tea w pearls! Totalled to $7.51 including 10% tip.“

“Been here since I was young and I’ve never had a problem! The teas are strong (oolong, four seasons) and for someone who drinks a lot of matcha, the strawberry matcha is comparable to specialty cafes; they also have oat milk! The owner(s)—man and woman who are always there—are always above and beyond nice :)
This local Asian chain is comparable to Bubble World and Milk and Sugar but out of the three, it is definitely the best quality and the only one that is consistent.
They also don’t prompt for tip so I hope that means they pay their workers well enough? 😂“

“My fiancee and I loved the milk tea & chocolate swirl ice-cream. We created our own parfait by adding strawberry syrup (free), ai-yu jelly & grass jelly too hehehe. We knew the milk tea ice-cream would be good but the chocolate was just as good. The chocolate ice-cream was very distinct. It tasted like dark meji chocolate. Mildly sweet and very much like Asian chocolates!! Next time we shall take a photo because we ate it all before this review LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I always come here for their smoked jasmine macchiato. Now I have to choose between my fav drink and yummy newly discovered ice cream hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hopefully they will offer more flavours. I highly recommend using Fantuan in-store pay at Shiny Tea. We got about 10% off by using the app. Also, I would ask for a stamp card if you visit often!!“

Okinawa milk tea was yummy!! It was milky & flavourful. My partner ordered a mango green tea and he was surprised there were real pieces of mango in it. The space was clean. We had ample space to study and build gundam hehehehehehehe >:DD“
“Came here last month to get the king of mango smoothie. Something didn't taste right (a bit icy and less mango flavor) compared to the Richmond location. Spoke to the manager and she remade our order and it tasted just as good as I remember. Would highly recommend.“

“Stumbled upon this place and so glad I did! The vibe is super chill, perfect spot to just hang out and relax. Everything here is always consistent, which I really appreciate. The mochi in the bubble tea is so good, definitely my favorite part. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area! My new favorite bbt place!“
“Came to visit and we ordered three drinks in total. We were helped by a very kind and accommodating employee named Leo. We asked many questions about the menu which he answered patiently and informatively. He even allowed us to sample some of the tea before we purchased our bubble tea's. Thank you for your service, Leo! We're happy customers and we will be back to try more flavours.“
“Had the black tea with pearls. Had strong tea flavors and was quite good. Could really taste the richness of the tea better than most chains. Tea from MACU has better tea richness flavor though. Would come again when convenient. Pearls were right consistency with hint of sweetness, not too sweet not too bland.“

“Best Taiwanese wheel cakes I've ever had (including in Taiwan). Have been going here since the early 2000s and quality has stayed just as good with surprisingly low prices. Can't fathom a day where they aren't in business anymore— a Richmond staple and a true must-try.“

“Had the Pho Satay. Pretty on point. Generous amount of noodles that were cooked al dente. Been to a few pho restaurants where the noodles just break up apart, but not here. Would I have liked more rare beef? Perhaps. Maybe a little bit more basil...I only say this because it is at the $21 total price not including tip. The broth is phenomenal - the peanut spice mixture into the beef broth is top tier! The balance is just perfect. The flavour alone would probably make you think twice about going to a Japanese ramen spot and I'm a die hard ramen fan.
Service is excellent. I should probably add that it's refreshing to know that there is a restaurant that doesn't serve tap water. This place actually has CLEAN PURIFIED WATER. It makes a big difference for me anyways.
Chill vibes and cool atmosphere. Nothing to complain.“

“I ordered my favorite Passion Fruit Green Tea, but the staff accidentally gave me Grapefruit Tea instead. When I mentioned it, he kindly offered to replace it, but I decided to give the Grapefruit Tea a try — and I actually ended up liking it! Sometimes mistakes turn into new favorites.
Since back home I’ve always liked CoCo stores for their fruit teas (I’m not really a fan of milk teas), it’s nice to find a new spot here that also makes great fruit teas. From now on, I’ll be switching between these two — Passion Fruit and Grapefruit😊“
“If you’re tired of the same old milk tea, you have to try Cocobay. All of their drinks are coconut-based, which is such a fantastic and unique twist on the traditional bubble tea you find everywhere else.
The coconut base makes the drinks feel lighter and super refreshing. It’s definitely a new favorite for when I want something a little different“
“had an amazing experience at Kabayan Cafe! The atmosphere is super cozy and Instagrammable — perfect for hanging out with friends or just relaxing with a good drink.
Their bubble tea is the best in New Westminster — creamy, flavorful, and perfectly sweet! I also tried their croffles and kakanin, and wow, what a treat! The Filipino desserts reminded me of home, especially the halo-halo, which was so refreshing.
They now serve hot steamed buns (Siopao) and shaken teas, which are must-tries! You can really taste the love in their food and drinks. 💕
The staff are friendly, warm, and always greet you with a smile. Whether you're Filipino or not, Kabayan Cafe makes everyone feel welcome.
Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area! 🙌“

“My favorite bubble tea shop ever! Great quality drinks with mochi like boba that I cant get enough of. Prices are surprisingly average compared to the high quality I see in their drinks. Always have great specialty drink choices (again with decent prices compared to other places). And drink sizes are average too, so prices arent lower for smaller drinks. Love this place!“

“I ordered a Mango Green Tea from 101 Boba through Uber Eats recently, and I wanted to leave feedback about the experience because the customer service at the Capstan location really stood out.
On the Uber Eats menu, the drink description for the Mango Green Tea was not very clear that it included additional
ingredients/floating toppings inside the drink and i thought it would be mango flavoring. When I received it, it was not what I expected, and I honestly was not very happy with it. I called the store simply to ask if there was any possibility of exchanging it, and I even explained that I had not really drank it and was willing to bring it back.
Carrie at the Capstan location handled the situation extremely professionally. She was polite, understanding, and genuinely cared about keeping the customer happy. She immediately tried to help and made the process easy instead of making it uncomfortable or difficult. She even told me not to worry about bringing it back.
Considering the drink itself was not very expensive, I really appreciated that she focused more on customer satisfaction and long term service rather than arguing over policy.
That kind of service is what makes customers want to come back again.
I also contacted another location to ask about the situation, and while the staff member there was still polite, the experience felt very different. The response was more focused on explaining that the drink already comes with floating ingredients rather than understanding why the menu description may have confused a customer ordering online. I mentioned that the Uber Eats menu could probably be made clearer for future customers so people know exactly what they are ordering.
Overall, I just want to give credit to Carrie at the Capstan location for handling the situation the right way. Professional, understanding, and customer focused service like that makes a huge difference.“

“I’m a youth worker and I was with a youth who’s a big fan of Coco, and while he was getting a bubble tea today he accidentally tipped over the cup as he tried to insert the straw and ended up breaking it, but the staff was super nice and made him another one and that made his day! Thank you so much! We will be back soon!“
“I'm a big fan of the lychee osmanthus milk tea. You can really taste the lychee and osmanthus which is pretty rare since they're quite light flavours and can be indiscernible if not done well. I also really like the straw hahaha it's like a coffee stir stick but with three small holes. Since the straw is so thin, I feel like I'm drinking a large for the suck to time ratio, even though the drink is a regular size (they don't have large). It's prolonging my drink time“

“Delicious fresh fruit tea options and a pleasantly bright & clean ambiance. (Tried the Day N Tokyo - lychee with konjac jelly). Service was very patient and friendly as well. Drinks do not taste overly sweet at 50% sugar. I also appreciate that they use strong paper lid covers/straws instead of plastic.“

“I had never tried shaved ice until going to this super cute cafe —and it was love at first bite! The ube shaved ice bubble tea was absolutely AMAZING! The fine flakes of ice melted on my tongue and the ube flavour was a perfect flavour and sweetness. I greatly appreciated that I could choose my preferred sugar level. I also had try the chocolate flavour in the same visit, and was delighted by that one as well. I highly recommend checking out this place! The decor is adorable and the ice cream looks super tasty (I’m excited to try the Earl Grey!).“

“Came to this Coco on July 25th around 8pm because it was the closest to my house. Service at this coco is so good, better than the other stores. The cashier who took our order was super friendly and nice. Double checked the sugar and ice level for each drink we were ordering. Consider giving that girl a raise. Definitely recommend to other people. Fresh mango smoothie with coconut jelly is a must have. 5/5 stars“

The rose tea and other tea made with dried flowers are all amazing!

Even though the shop’s pretty small and it gets busy, the staff are always on it and keep things moving. Tons of drink options too, so there’s always something new to try. Drinks are always good and the pearls are just right. Definitely recommend!“
