50 Best Bubble Tea near North Vancouver

“懷念的高中味“

“If you are looking for bubble tea this place is fantastic! Most flavours are made with fresh fruits the pearls are done just right and the pricing is excellent. At this time there is no indoor seating. My wife likes the mango with pearls and I go for the strawberry 🍓/ raspberry with pearls. Price was $6 each. The one thing that could make this place better is that the owners try a little harder at being more friendly.“

“First time trying Happy Lemon in Vancouver and I totally understand why it’s so popular! 🍋
The store was cute, the staff were friendly, and I loved that I could customize the sugar and ice level. The drink was refreshing and delicious. Definitely coming back again 😊“

“Best oolong tea I had in lower mainland. If only they open in Surrey too.“

“What a cool place! Loved spending time with the kitties and trying the menu“

“Visited their new location a couple days ago, they have updated their menu and have even more choices! Their bubble tea is still my favourite, not too sweet and not too bland !🥰“

“Great Bubble tea and dessert place

I enjoyed my caramel pudding fresh milk tea with pearls, and also the little custard filled dessert (Taiyaki) that comes as a combo.

The store offers a stylish ambience and there are some boardgames offered, I find that's inviting.

Only sad thing: They make you order on a touch screen and that removes the in-person interaction with their staff. The machine still asks for a tip...“

“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 💕💕“

“Absolutely phenomenal place to enjoy a fresh handmade boba. I live seven hours away and I make it a point to tell everyone I know about this place and to always grab one when near the area. On multiple occasions I have driven over 45 minutes from different areas of Vancouver when visiting to go to this specific shop. The staff are very friendly, the menu is visually appealing with lots of options and the boba balls are made fresh daily by hand with real brown sugar. My favourite is the signature brown sugar milk tea, it comes with a delicious foam on top that they caramelize with a torch. This is my favourite drink shop in all of Vancouver and I will always go out of my way to make the stop! Thank you for the delicious drinks!!“

“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.“

“We hosted a floral workshop at Gong Cha New Westminster, and it was the perfect place for it. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout the event. The space was clean, cozy, and very comfortable, which made everyone feel welcome. Everything ran smoothly, and our guests had a great experience.“

“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.“

“they have really good bubble tea“

“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.“

“I got the banana milk with 75% sugar instead of the usual 50%. It was fantastic had a very natural banana flavor which is great I’m not a big fan of artificial flavors so this one was amazing. Im looking forward to trying out their milkshakes next time I go.“

“Should've listened to my homie and gotten my passport photos done here to begin with! Went to London Drugs initially because it was closer and was said to be super cheap (about the same), but the photo quality there was dull and lighting really flat. Came here to redo them and 1000% times better, sharper photos and more flattering lighting. He was also really nice and patient with me going through the options. Attached my two photos so you can see! (One in the bag is from here)“

“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!!“

“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“

“Update: We came back!!

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“

“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.“

“Absolutley Delicious !!! ❤“

“Had the Fresh Mango Coconut Milk ($8.24 with tax). It was good! You can adjust ice and sugar levels for most drinks, including this one! I didn't want to consume dairy, so you can substitute their coconut pudding for their coco water jelly, a nice hybrid between coconut jelly and grass jelly. It's impossible not to compare the drink to Macu Tea, which I do prefer for their addition of grapefruit & the tea jelly flavour in the King of Mango. However, Cocobay was a good option in the area!

The mango was sweet enough, and the coconut milk was rich. There was only one staff member around 7 pm on a Sunday so there was a short wait as they prepared other orders. Friendly service, however, and she was able to answer menu questions about dietary preferences!“

“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.“

“Best Cantonese bubble waffle 🧇 coconut bubble tea and lime Calais“

“nice place to chil, loving it“

“I got the mango slushie and it tasted pretty good! They have a good number of seats, and the staff was friendly and communicative. Unfortunately, they can’t make the bingsu dairy free, but they can make their milk teas with oat milk if you ask. The fruit teas and slushies are dairy free, of course.“

“delightful staff, excellent coffee, amazing cakes, coziness in the shop ☺️❤️🌎😋“

“I stopped in eith my child in a stroller on a random Monday with no expectations and was taken aback with how warm and welcoming this shop was. I was only sad that I didn't have time to order any actual food but it all looked and sounded amazing. The eggnog latte was really nice, super well done on the thickness of the foam 👏 and then the lady behind the counter held the door open for me, and insisted I take a stopper with me lol
Anyways.. felt great leaving there, id love to come back and try their soups“

“My husband and I love near by. We visited after dinner for dessert. The owner created us warm and gave us free samples.

The bubble waffle was delicious and we both loved the pandam bubble tea.

We both recommend this place and look forward to returning“

“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! 🙌“

“Excellent bubble tea - perfect sweetness and flavour. The Bubble waffles were made to order and delicious. They are an extensive menu and service was quick and kind. Wait was about 7 minutes for the waffle. Would definitely return here.“

“The UberEats order pick up was quick and smooth. The peach and lychee slush drinks were ordered with a special note that they be made with 30% sugar. I was not sure if they would accommodate this because other bubble tea places have denied sugar modifications for slushy drinks and smoothies. The gentleman working there immediately gave me the drinks upon seeing me and explained he made them less sweet by only adding a certain type of syrup and no other added sugar. Not quite 30% but definitely less sweet. I appreciated this!“

“Absolutely love the drinks here ^_^ I had the four season tea with mango sorbetto and it was great! I would like to give a shout-out to the warm hospitality I received by the amazing female staff worker 11/2/25 near 1:00pm - will definitely be coming back in the future“

“The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, friendly vibe. The drink I ordered Classic pearl milk tea was absolutely perfect and pearls were fresh and chewy.

Highly recommend if you’re a bubble tea lover or just looking for a fun treat. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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“

“Stopped by for a drink and have to say it’s a cute little shop. I had the collaboration drink and it tastes great. Love the coconut mango flavor. Staff were nice as well. Drink came out quickly as well. Would recommend stopping when in the area.“

“I love the super taro slush with pearls and the mango graham slush with pearls and everything.“

“Wonderful place for an afternoon tea.“

“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😊“

“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 recently stopped by Place 2 Be cafe. The atmosphere is vibrant yet cozy —Whether you’re meeting friends, enjoying brunch, or just grabbing a coffee, it’s exactly the kind of place where you can relax and feel at home. Tried the authentic Idli set, poratta rolls.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for great food, amazing coffee, and a cheerful atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back!“

“冰品超好吃，環境清幽“

“Stopped by late at night and was surprised they were still open. The bubble tea was fresh and the pearls were soft and chewy, not hard like some places. Prices are reasonable and the staff were friendly. Solid spot when you’re craving a quick drink.“

“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.“

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

“I dine here at least 3 times a week as I’m close to here everyday. Friendly, super fast service and always there to answer questions about food/allergens. One of the best poke/ramen places in downtown Vancouver“
