46 Best Bubble Tea in Vancouver

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing!

Bubble tea is my new favorite drink! It's the perfect mix of sweet, creamy, and refreshing, and the chewy tapioca pearls make it so fun to drink. So many flavors to choose from, and you can customize everything. Highly recommend trying it if you haven’t already!“

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

“Amazing experience at nuttea. They make their own nut milk from cashews, walnuts and macadamia and you can really taste it!! I got the four season nut milk tea with added nut cream!! The nut cream is an absolute must, so creamy, nutty and delicious kinda like ice cream without the ice! 10/10 experience super clean and fun atmosphere.“

“One of my favourite milk tea places in Vancouver. The quality of the tea is good, plus if you get the fruit drinks, they use real fruit. Boba quality is good too. This time I got brown sugar milk tea, lychee jade tea with aloe, and fruit tea. As always, this place never failed me. Dibs: buy 3 drinks, you get free playing cards.

Calling all night owl boba and fruit tea lovers! There’s a spot for us in town that’s open til midnight to satisfy those cravings!

Have a FUN Chun How!“

“L&G Bubble Tea on Fraser Street is truly a fantastic find, and it's become my absolute favorite bubble tea place. This spot gets very busy, which just goes to show how popular and loved it is! Even with the hustle and bustle, the staff are consistently friendly and courteous when it's your turn at the counter, always making you feel welcome.
What really sets L&G apart is their incredible drink selection. They offer a huge variety, and the best part is that most of their drinks are made with real fruits. This commitment to fresh ingredients really shines through in the taste. For instance, I recently had the pineapple slush with no sugar and no bubbles, and it was incredibly yummy! It's great to know you can customize your drink to perfection and still get that amazing real fruit flavor.
Despite the high quality and fresh ingredients, the prices offer excellent value. You're getting a top-notch drink without breaking the bank.
A crucial tip for a smooth visit: Since L&G is so popular, I highly recommend ordering online for pickup. This will help you avoid a long wait and ensure you get your delicious bubble tea quickly and conveniently.
I can't recommend L&G Bubble Tea enough for their delicious real-fruit drinks, wonderful staff, great value, and the convenience of online ordering!“

“Very nice place, was very surprised and happy with the taste. Glad I tried this place out, huge matcha fan and a mango fan and it was a perfect mix of thé moth in my drink. + tapioca pearls were on point with texture. Would come again. Matcha lovers, this is the place! Friend Logan liked it aswell.“

“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.“

“The best place to have passport photo in vancouver! Quality, lighting, choosing the right pic, and service is very very nice.

Highly recommended for everyone even you have toddler who isn’t stay still, this place will do the best shot 👍👍“

“I went in today, and there was a sign saying they was understaffed. It was evident that the only staff member (sorry, didn’t get a name) was working extremely hard & diligently to upkeep mobile orders as well as in store customer orders.“

“they have really good bubble tea“

“A cozy bubble tea spot located on the bustling West Broadway, offering a wide variety of flavorful options. While the drinks are excellent, seating is very limited, and there’s often a wait. It’s best to grab your drink to go and enjoy it on the move!“

“Really cute cafe! I got the peach yogurt mochi drink. It was my first time having a drink with L-arabinose as a sugar replacement and as the person behind the counter advised it was indistinguishable from sugar! My drink was really good. My fiancé got the hot milk tea with boba and he thoroughly enjoyed his as well!“

“This has to be my favourite spot in all of Vancouver to get an Avocado Smoothie!!!! It is pretty hidden, but a hidden gem!!! The staff is beyond kind and I will ALWAYS go out of my way to go there when I want a high-quality Avocado Smoothie!!! Its under the 'Fresh Fruit' section. They have a huge menu, so if avocado is not your first smoothie choice, you should definitely stop by and try something else!! You will NOT be disappointed!!“

“Absolutley Delicious !!! ❤“

“Best pizza in the Vancouver“

“Consistent high quality. Best pearl in town!“

“The drink was good and the service was too! The strawberry slush with lychee jelly was very tasty. The very polite cashier also spent the time to advise me on some dairy or lactose free options after I mentioned my allergy, and gave me a discount for shopping locally at Magic Stronghold.

I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area.
10/10“

“This is the best bubble tea place downtown. I had the milk tea 50% sweet and no ice, my partner had the milk tea with brown sugar 50% and no ice. My partner and myself both agreed the drinks were very tasty and plan to come back. I also liked how the menu wasnt filled with a million items, which could lead to analysis paralysis. Just the basics which they did very well.
Place was also clean. Would recommend“

“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.“

“Highly recommend the Mango Pomelo Sago Smoothie, I can’t have enough of it. Not overly sweet, and the sago has a very unique texture and taste.

I like that there’s a tablet that you can order the drinks yourself. Just wished that there are more tables to sit at, as there are only 2 big tables (sits 4 people) and 2 smaller tables (sits 2 people). So if 4 groups of people are already gathered, you’d most likely not have a seat.“

“Can you pls make your store available on Hinbor?

I live here and ordered every day with my friends for CHICHA San Chen on Hinbor App.

When I was studying at UBC, I also ordered from Chatime there on Hinbor“

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

“Nyc place to have an infusion of Indian food. Their spicy chicken and pesto chicken sandwich are top notch with a Indian flavor. More veggie options are also available with daily special dishes. And love their service...so nyc people....♥️“

“We've tried a few bubble Teas around the city and this was literally the best! Such an under rated place. They used oat milk for our non dairy options that was delicious! Great price on their bubble Teas and they were so friendly. We got the mango milk tea with pearls and Ferrero Rocher slushy bith super delicious. This is our new favorite place.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I very much enjoy their mango pomelo sago coconut milk drink with 30% sweetness. The sago has the right texture and not soggy. Of course the more mango pieces the better. I wanted to try other options however I keep order this popular item. Worth the calories 😂“

“This bubble 🫧 🍵 tea place has been here at tnt mall food court like forever .....lots of yummy options of drinks from bubble tea, slushies etc ....ive been coming here since for a little over 15 years ....its one of the oldest businesses here in this food court besides a few others here in tnt mall in Vancouver's chinatown“

“I went to Pho Tan because BBno$ said in an interview that this was one of his favourite places to eat in Vancouver. I can see why. Their peanut sauté beef pho is out of this world! I’m obsessed with it. It’s so good I highly recommend this place!!“

“renting a place around the area and needed somewhere quiet to work, and found this coffee shop

Vibes - perfect quiet music, clean tables, lots of places to plug in your devices, nice ppl behind the counter

Coffee- amazing, freshly made

Food - I only tried the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing! Although the other items look appetizing as well

A nice surprise to come across this place :)“

“Wonderful place for an afternoon tea.“

“I have been coming here for over a year when I stay at the nearby Sheraton (half a block away). The service has always been impeccable when the owner is there or with any of his crew when he is not there. They are all knowledgeable about the products they are serving and they recommend the best they have in sugar free optionsn for me. I have tried all the flavors that don't come with added sugar, such as jasmine, Royal #9 (blueberry infused), matcha, and Iron Goddess (oolong). The jasmine tea without the milk by itself also has excellent flavor. If they have time, they are also fun to talk to about local restaurant recommendations, life, and travel. I highly recommend The Alley for all the above reasons, along with their professional and rapid service“

“Their Matcha Ice Cream smoothie is delicious!!!!!“

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

“We were staying at a nearby hotel and came here based on google reviews. The food was good. We ordered the beef noodle soup and the beef was tender and the noodles had a good level of firmness. The curry rice with pork chops were good too. For appetizers we had their chicken nuggets which is made like popcorn chicken; it had good flavor.“

“奶茶好喝~ 蛋餅跟蔥油餅也很棒~! 大推!!“

“Super cute spot, great for studying on weekdays. Beware if you’re trying to study that at 5pm they switch into a wine bar and on weekends they usually won’t allow you to have computers unless it’s not busy. The employees were super kind and accommodating and there are nice big tables. The interior is very cozy and has a nice calming atmosphere. I ordered a chai latte which was decent, but not the best I’ve had. Overall, it was a great experience!“

“I came in for my free birthday drink from the app, and I was pleasantly surprised there were dairy free soy milk options for some drinks. I tried the Oolong Brown Sugar Milk Tea with soy milk. Even though it is listed as being only 25% sweet, the brown sugar syrup is very sweet and delicious. I tried to ask for sweeter without knowing so, but they let me know 25% sweet is the only sweetness level the brown sugar drinks come in. The flavour was very smooth and not overpowering at all, I would gladly order it again. The fresh tapioca was fantastic as well, the pearls are not as large as some other places, but they have great flavour, mouthfeel, and chewyness. I just wished I had a bigger cup so I could get more! I also ordered a bubble waffle while I was here. My only gripe was that they did not serve it to me hot, but instead cooled it down in front of a fan so that it was not quite warm when handed to me. I also thought they may have browned it for too long, but it might have just been the sugar content in the batter that turned it dark, because it tasted very good even if it was cool.“

“The real OG bubble tea chain in Vancouver! Bubble World has been around since the very beginning in the mid 90s, and has stayed true to the authentic taste and in-store vibe throughout the years.

The Robson store still maintains the “hangout” atmosphere that many of the tea shops used to have, with board games, arcade games, gachapon machines, and plenty of seating.

They have all the classic tea flavours with a wide selection of toppings, and a good hot snack menu. I like their real fruit drinks which are quite refreshing.

I really appreciate that they’re open late in an age where everything else closes so early, and that I can just visit without wondering if they’re going to be closed. Bubble world is a Vancouver gem and I highly recommend them for an authentic bubble tea experience.“

“I often visit this place with my friends or by myself for meals. The food is delicious and I love the honey green milk tea
I came today after my 6K run, so I apologize for looking so sweaty and scaring the employee. I’m writing a review in hopes they see it :))“

“Honestly the best food, price, atmosphere and service we’ve had in Vancouver. Everything we ordered was so so delicious and came out fast and hot. Prices are fantastic, and the serving sizes are generous. So nice to find a comfortable place you can sit and talk with friends (and actually hear them!) without feeling pressured to leave.“

“Jasmine Milk Tea with boba is my absolute go-to at Ding Tea. Sadly, they don't have regular boba here, only crystal boba, and honestly, crystal boba just doesn't pair as well with milk tea as regular boba does. Still, I appreciate that they even have Jasmine Milk Tea on the menu since not many boba spots offer it. The flavor isn’t quite as good as what I’m used to back home, but it’s still decent😅The store could use a bit of tidying up though.“

“Boba that’s on the pricier side (depending on what you get), but is worth the money and makes for a good treat every once in a while! Conveniently, this Gong Cha branch is also right next to the Renfrew Skytrain station, making it pretty accessible by transit.

As of writing this review, I’ve only been to Gong Cha twice. However, I’ve been satisfied with the drinks I’ve tried so far and see future visits happening!

For my most recent visit, I got the Crème Brûlée Strawberry Latté with Regular Pearls, and it was light and smooth while also being just the right amount of sweet and strawberry-flavoured. On the top, there was some milk foam, which has a slightly saltier, almost cheesier flavour to it- sounds a little odd, but I found it quite tasty! The creme brûlée part was delicious- I expected it to just be a little sweet and crunchy, but some strong flavour came through, which was a great surprise! I tend to avoid non fruit-tea drinks, as usually I experience some bloating/uncomfortable fullness, but Gong Cha’s latté and milk tea options don’t cause that- something I’m grateful for :)

The Strawberry Cookie Milk Tea my sister got was really good too- strong in flavour but not overpowering, with the Oreo crumbs adding to the flavour of the drink in a good way. Thankfully not too sweet, which was something we were worried about!

The only “real” slight point of constructive criticism we had was that the pearls seemed to be on the smaller side today, but the texture and flavour was still there so it wasn’t a big deal, we understand that they can vary. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This particular Gong Cha location also offers food (Corndogs, Bubble Waffle, the viral cheese coin from a while back, even ice cream??), and has a little gacha machine in the corner, with the gacha ranging from $2-4 for a spin. Overall, the space is kept nice and tidy, and would probably make a good study spot for students. Their menu is extensive, so I imagine everyone can find something they like here!“

“I would like to personally say a HUGE thank you to Steve and his team for delivering the most delicious bubble tea today to our team of Housekeepers at BC Children's Hospital! You put a smile on their faces, and we truly appreciate your kindness. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts 💗“
