36 Best Bubble Tea in Richmond

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

“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“

“I orders citrus jade tea with aloe Vera with no sugar and less ice, it’s still has a bit of sweetness but it’s just right! I can taste the sour of the grapefruit and sweetness of the honey which is amazing!

Owner is very polite and friendly! Also incudes 3 hours free parking! Very 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!“

“Dong ding oolong with pearl, light sugar, less ice, AMAZING!!!“

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

“nice place to chil, loving it“

“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.“

“I stumbled upon this bubble shop and was immediately attracted to their fresh mango smoothie, which looks similar to the iconic Macu Tea’s King of Mango.
The smoothie did not disappoint and has its own unique personality with chewy barley bits. The only improvement I can think of is if they can add more mango flesh and pulp into the drink.

“Did you know that at 101boba, you can choose between large pearls (Boba) or small pearls? It’s great to have options depending on your mood!

But even with all the pearl choices, I’ve realized my heart still belongs to Coconut Jelly (Lychee Jelly). 🥥 There’s just something about that refreshing, chewy texture that goes so well with almost any tea. What’s your go-to topping?“

“Good place! Always nice I love their bbt! ^_^“

“Wow the food is fantastic. It was very difficult to decide on what to try. I ended up with the “hot & sour dumpling soup” and the “beef slice in Chinese pancake.” Both are a must try.“

“If you're a fan of coconut drinks or just looking for something refreshing and unique, Coco Bay in Richmond is a must-try! I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the service was – my order was prepared within minutes, which is always appreciated when you're on the go.

I tried one of their signature coconut-based drinks, and it was incredibly flavorful. The coconut taste was rich, natural, and not overly sweet – just the right balance to make it refreshing without being overwhelming. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients. It’s perfect if you enjoy coconut-forward drinks that still feel light and hydrating.

The shop itself is clean and modern, with a tropical vibe that matches their drink concept. Whether you're craving a quick treat or need something cooling on a warm day, Coco Bay delivers on both speed and flavor.

Highly recommended for coconut lovers or anyone wanting to try something a little different from the usual bubble tea options.“

“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.“

“Welcoming and great service with authentic Chinese style milk tea. I really like this place and can’t wait for its preload event to come back. Great deal! It is also sad to see google allows these malicious comments to dilute the actual excellence of this place.“

“It was so warm this afternoon. I cooled myself down with a strawberry smoothie with boba from 101boba. It’s made from real strawberries and a cream cap. Pearls have been perfectly cooked. This drink is 20% off now. Such a good deal and tasty“

“I visited this place several times and there is always that friendly and energetic staff who greets and recommends a perfect drink for me every time. I have tried a variety of drinks and they all tasted very natural yet flavourful!! This is now my go-to-store for bubble tea!“

“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“

“My fav bubble tea shop so far!
The rose tea and other tea made with dried flowers are all amazing!
However might be too sweet for most people, half sugar will be recommended!
Like this spot not only because of their products but also because of their sweet service. Always make my day so well!“

“Mika is the best!! ALL MY FRIENDS LOVE IT HERE! The only place that open til late!! Everything is always so fresh, and the staff are amazing—they recommended the mockjito, and it was phenomenal. I honestly haven’t found anywhere else that matches this level of quality. Just look at the strawberry ice cream slush—it’s SOOO pretty! I also love how they keep introducing new drinks. Always something exciting to try!“

“Coco’s drink quality is always consistent so I always come back! However, I am a bit dissatisfied with the customer experience in my last visit.

I ordered a milk tea with 30% sugar and regular ice. Unfortunately by the time I looked at my receipt and I realized it did not say 30% sugar the drink had already been made. As I let the girl with the glasses and claw clip know she said “but it’s already made, so it is it okay?”. And then I kindly asked her to remake it because I was sure I asked for 30% (I always get my drinks 30% for health reasons) and she looked pretty annoyed and said with a straight face “but you said regular sugar and ice”. To which I kindly said “oh I did say 30% actually sorry”. But I’m grateful she asked the barista to remake it anyways.

What happened was after I ordered, there was a lineup behind me so I wanted to quickly leave the counter after ordering. It’s definitely my fault for not double checking the screen and properly listening to the cashier repeat my order. But even if it was my mistake, I don’t think it warranted that kind of reaction from her. Remaking a regular milk tea takes less than 30 seconds and doesn’t cost a lot of money at all. I didn’t understand why it seemed like such an inconvenience to request the drink to be remade. Again, I’m grateful she did end up asking the barista to remake my drink (she was also really nice when I was ordering) but this experience did make me a little sad and I felt bad for being troublesome.“

“🥤 CHAYAN Richmond 🌟🌟🌟🌟

👉🏻 This place specializes in tea-based drinks, and you can really taste the difference—their milk tea is fresh, light, and never too heavy. It’s the perfect balance of tea fragrance and creamy texture. 🍵✨

💁🏼 The staff are efficient, making the ordering process smooth and pleasant. Service was quick, and everything was prepared with care. 😊

🍽️ The environment is clean and welcoming, great for grabbing a drink with friends or just relaxing on your own. Plenty of seating and a comfortable vibe. 🌿“

“Passionfruit tea is really good. I would suggest to get it with coconut jelly and no ice to make it super refreshing. Staff are efficient and consistently good at making the drinks. It's a small store so it can get busy, so I would just place a mobile order and come back in 5-10 minutes. Overall, great stuff!“

“très bon bubble tea, j'ai été a celui de Montréal et ils ont su très bien nous conseiller.“

“The most I complain is about their seats being so dirty. They are obviously seen a lot of large or small stains on the seating area of the sofa. The store is located near river shore area and expected to have high comfort dining experience. This is my first dining in but however being so shocked with this nice and roomy store. Service is good and the store's counter, floor and washroom are clean.“

“Taiwanese bubble tea. Price is reasonable. I can choose my sweetness and ice level. Staff are friendly. It’s a great place to chat with my friends.“

“This place is a hidden gym, situated right across Costco. They have the best coconut desserts in Richmond, easily. My favourite is the Mango Lovers which is like a flavour explosion in your mouth. It is run by an elderly couple. Come support your local mom and pop store, you won't be disappointed.“

“The bubble tea here is very good and it's one of my go to spots in Richmond. My favorites are the mango pomelo sago and the Assam milk tea. I like the fact that they use real ingredients in their drinks and you can definitely taste the difference. If you dine in at Dinesty you get an even better deal on their drinks.“

“Best hidden secret of all of BC. Tried my first Presotea in Calgary in disbelief that it would taste better than my current favourite bubble tea. Boy was I wrong! This is by far the most flavourful bubble tea I've ever tasted! Sweetened and sized to your liking. The taste of their pearls will make you want more. Definitely bringing my friends and family here. Looking forward to the opening of more locations!“

“This place is one of the rare Coco locations left that uses real Yakult branding Yakult for their drinks (and not the Costco probiotic) as well as REAL grapefruit and not the grapefruit pulp.

Not all Coco stores are the same. Don’t waste your money supporting ones that cheats you.

Will only be going here and the locations listed on their app.“

“Hi, I tried this place for the first time. I never post reviews but this place is so nice that I had to. The place is clean, chill, nice and the vibe is just amazing with the chill music! The price is really affordable, I had 2 drinks and 1 Baconchesse Waffle. It was really tasty and enjoyable. I definitely recommend this place.“

“Drinks are absolutely Fantastic and wait time was cool too! But the service really took a star off. I love the fact that they use decomposable straws. Though one time we went 10 minutes early but they just wouldn’t make one for us. Wish the opening hours were a little earlier. My favourite is the rice yogurt! It is so good!!!
Recommended!“

“The owner is very friendly, service is good! 😀“

“First of all, the yogurt is delicious! I spent a pleasant afternoon here with my friends. I forgot my bag here when I was leaving. Then I called the lady who was very considerate. She not only helped me put it away, but also checked the details of the bag with me. After confirming that it was in my bag, I sent it back. Thank you very much. I highly recommend this yogurt! ! !“

“Heytea is one of my favorite shop now!🥭🍇 The mango and grape drinks are fresh, sweet, and refreshing. Their matcha drinks are also very popular and definitely worth trying. I usually order online since it’s quick and easy, plus they sometimes have nice promotions. Highly recommend!“

“I went to their other location before but i would say that this place is better than their other locations
They often get so packed during the peak hours
Sometimes the food might take a little extra ling to come out
The service seem to be better than before
A lot of selection for food and drinks“
