40 Best Bubble Tea in Richmond

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

“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!“

“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.“

“nice place to chil, loving it“

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

“The Case: The Honey Green Tea Slush Investigation.
The Verdict (4/5 Stars): Highly Recommended (with one crucial piece of evidence).
​Analysis of Findings: The drink itself is an open-and-shut case of excellence; honestly delicious and exceeding initial expectations. A complex reduction of flavor that’s a 10/10.
​The Crime Scene: The mango star-jellies present a critical operational failure. My analysis confirms that the points of the star shape are physically wider than the internal diameter of the straw provided. The result is a total blockade.
​Recommendation for the Establishment: Until wider straws (or smaller stars) are sourced, I recommend diners request this exquisite slush without the jelly. The flavor mystery is solved; the logistics mystery remains a case in progress.“

“My friend got the osmanthus and lychee milk tea and I got the black tea frappe.

The drinks were pleasant especially on a hot day.

My black tea frappe was flavourful and packed a punch of black tea! It’s topped with sweet, fresh whipped cream and crunchy pecan chips.

I will note that you may need to tell them about no pecan chips in case you have a nut allergy. Other than that, sipping the drink can be a bit difficult with the pecan chips, so be careful to not choke on them.“

“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!“

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

“The owner and my server, Madeline, are absolutely amazing! 🤩

I had pre-ordered a drink through Fantuan a day in advance because my boyfriend was going to pick it up for me while I was at work. On the pickup day, he told me they didn't have my drink. I assumed I'd be able to get a refund through Fantuan, so I didn't look into it any further.

A few days later, Fantuan informed me that I wasn't eligible for a refund because CocoBay had already made my drink and kept it until closing time. I was really confused, so I went to the shop to figure out what had happened. I explained that I had given my boyfriend the order number, but he didn't have my phone with him at the time, so I'm not sure if I accidentally gave him the wrong number or if there was a miscommunication during pickup.

Even though it wasn't their fault, the owner and Madeline kindly offered to remake my drink so I wouldn't lose my money or leave empty-handed. That level of customer service is rare these days, and I'm incredibly grateful for their kindness and understanding.

The drink was absolutely delicious as well! Great service, great people, and great drinks. I'll definitely be coming back. ❤“

“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.“

“molly tea is honestly amazing and life changing. their drinks are impeccable with tastes from asia, i could not explain how much i love molly tea, always on my mind. ive honestly introduced it to my friends and they love the tea taste as well. thank you for coming to bc and i will be coming back a lot more, just wish it was cheaper but the quality and service is worth the high price.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I really like the brownsugar milk tea, and the pearls is fresh sweet and chewy. The cheese foam on top literally had cheese on them ,but made my drink quite sour because of it. Sweet and sour lol. My new go to bubbletea spot, such a hidden gem.“

“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“

“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!“

“Popular tea based drink chain from China. The drinks are quite tasty and refreshing. We tried the coconut mango blue and the grape boom drinks. Both very good. The drinks are more expensive than places like coco but the use of tea bases is worth it. The app also makes ordering easy and their points reward system seems quite fair. When we went there was no wait or line compared to Molly tea down the way in the same strip. To each there own but I think heytea has better menu options.“

“I come to this restaurant for Taiwanese food with my family or friends at the past years. Their food always big portions and fresh. Lots of food selections on the menu. Now you need scan QR code for self ordering and better than order from the waitress. Food comes out quicker than before.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a great experience at this Chatime location! The first thing I noticed when walking in was how clean and well-maintained the entire shop is, which always makes a difference when grabbing a drink.

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I stepped up to the counter. A huge shoutout to Chloe, who provided exceptional customer service. She was very welcoming and very friendly.

Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great boba and a pleasant atmosphere.“

“It was my first time trying their bubble tea. I ordered the Dongding Oolong Milk Tea with tapioca jelly and agar jelly, and it was pretty good! I also just noticed they offer osmanthus flavors as they had some samples by the counter, which happens to be my favorite. I’ll definitely come back to try it next time!“

“Good value Taiwanese food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Always come here when I am in Vancouver! There is a great variety of flavors on the menu, something for everyone. I have had really great experiences with multiple staff members, patient and willing to answer all of my questions.

Recently, the staff member Shawn was especially catering, making a drink with all of my (odd) adjustments, which compelled me to leave a review!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I recently discovered Tapio Tea Company, and I'm so glad I did! The tea selection is impressive, and the quality is exceptional. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, helping me choose the perfect blend.

They also have a great selection of Monin syrups, which adds an extra layer of flavor and fun to their teas. It's clear they're passionate about providing a top-notch experience.

But what really made my experience stand out was the delivery man, Richard @ RC, who was extremely helpful and ensured my order arrived promptly and in perfect condition.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and unwind. I appreciate the attention to detail and the passion for tea that's evident in every cup.

Overall, I'd highly recommend Tapio Tea Company for a delightful tea experience. The combination of excellent tea, friendly service, helpful delivery team, and great syrup selection makes it a standout destination. 😊👍

*Rating:* 5/5 stars“

“I tried their Signature Fruit Tea, and added Coconut Jelly. The tea was really good, the price for the drink was reasonable, the service was fast and they were polite and friendly when taking the order. The design on their cup is lovely and nice as well.“

“Not flashy, not trendy but reliably satisfying. Wang Ji leans into that sweet spot between Cantonese comfort and bold northern Chinese flavours.

• Stir-fried Beef with Cumin - Fragrant cumin hits first, followed by tender slices of beef. Slightly smoky, a little spicy, and aromatic. It’s the kind of dish that demands a bowl of rice.
• Stewed Seafood with Tofu - Silky tofu soaks up the seafood broth mixed with salted egg and bits of shrimp and fish cake adding sweetness and depth.
• Chinese Sausage Fried Rice - Rice infused with that prized wok hei, smoky, almost charred aroma. The Chinese sausage brings a sweet-savoury richness that cuts through the oiliness perfectly.“

“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! ! !“

“I love the boba tea from there, but today I was craving a sweet treat and it was the best decision!!!! The Staff it was so friendly and helped choose the crepe. 100% coming back after for more cravings.

Obs: it was so pretty and yummy that 4 people stopped me in the way out asking about it!!!“
