48 Best Bubble Tea in Vancouver

“Absolutely outstanding!😍 This place is a must-visit in Vancouver. The food is fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — and the staff are just as impressive. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and warmth make the entire experience unforgettable.

Highly recommended.“

“This is by far the best dessert boba I’ve ever had. I usually don’t like sweet drinks and get my boba with no added sugar—which worked fantastic with their nut cream. The cream is so flavorful and sweet and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways (as the sticker on the cup will explain). They also have a chocolate and pistachio nut cream, also phenomenal, with the chocolate taking the cake for me.

They had a free sample of their chocolate mousse which I really liked and bought as a present. I also tried the mochi matcha waffle with strawberry and cream on top and that was indulgent and so worth it.

Would highly recommend trying this out and am praying one opens up in The Bay!“

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

“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...“

“This is my favourite bubble tea shop! The price and taste cannot be beat. All the flavours are made with fresh fruit and the pearls are very flavourful, often freshly cooked as well. Not only are the flavours delicious, but there is such a wide range to choose from- my personal favourite is guava. The woman who runs the store is also very kind and welcoming! I have recommended L&G to many friends and they immediately love it as much as I do. Everyone should go to L&G, truly a beautiful gem in this city!!!“

“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.“

“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)“

“Definitely one of the best boba places in Vancouver! The owners (a sweet family) are incredibly nice and friendly. The drinks are great. The environment is very comfortable and clean with plenty of seats. The place is also well decorated with kpop stuffs so it’s even better if you’re a kpop fan!“

“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 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.“

“they have really good bubble tea“

“This is my go to spot! The menu is incredible- I’ve tried so many of their drinks and they’re all delicious (matcha, hojicha, jasmine tea, banana milk) the ingredients always taste fresh and each drink is made with love. The staff are always super friendly even when they are busy. Highly recommend.“

“This is becoming one of my new go to spots for bubble tea. They have great and enticing flavours, friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere and a modern design which makes it stand out to me as it’s located in an area that you’d assume is on the less welcoming side. Overall a great experience my only complaint is the price feels a bit steep at times, however everything is expensive these days.“

“My friend and I decided to order two drinks from this shop because the name caught our eye; we thought it might be new. We got one Grapefruit Fruit Tea and one Oolong Milk Tea with pearls.

The oolong was SO good, super fragrant and full of tea flavor. The grapefruit tea even had real fruit inside! I would recommend ordering it at 50-70% sweetness so you can actually taste the grapefruit vibe.

Everything was perfect, from the packaging to the taste! Absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to actually visit the store on a nice sunny day and sip like a main character. 🌸✨“

“Absolutley Delicious !!! ❤“

“Macu is incredible. Blows all other bubble tea places out of the water. For the same price, Instead of cheap powdered drinks with run of the mill boba, you get incredible pure fresh fruit smoothies with the tastiest, unique, chewy bo bo, and green tea jellies. It gets addicting.“

“I love coming here for bubble tea!
All the staff are always kind and helpful, even when I come 10 minutes before closing... I'm so sorry... Alex is especially awesome! He's super chill and he makes my drinks very quickly. I'm basically out of the shop within 3 minutes :)
The bubble tea itself is yummy. I enjoy trying out the new flavours and promotions. I prefer the slushies, but my favourite Blink Blush special edition is no longer available :(
Anyways! I definitely recommend coming here :)“

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

“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.“

“Consistent high quality. Best pearl in town!“

“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.“

“I really love this milk tea shop! The taste of their milk tea is just perfect for me — rich, smooth, and not too sweet. What impressed me the most is how thoughtful the staff are. When I was pregnant, they remembered my preference and always made my drink without too much sugar. Their attention to detail and care for customers truly make this place special. Highly recommended!“

“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“

“Even the cold weather couldn’t stop us from getting some bingsu! The bingsu here is amazing, every flavor looks so good that it’s hard to choose just one. This was actually from last year, but I just thought of leaving a review now because it definitely deserves it.“

“Thank you Ruka Coffee for welcoming our big American family before we headed to the cruise port! We were so thankful that you dealt with all of our questions with kindness. And thank you for the Nanaimo bar experience! Food was great, service was exceptional, and we loved the vibe.“

“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“

“Wonderful place for an afternoon tea.“

“I really like this place and come here pretty often, but I was disappointed during my last visit. After getting my drink and sitting down, there was a horrible smell — the same issue I noticed the last time I was here. I mentioned it before, so it’s frustrating that it’s still happening. It seemed like someone was cleaning the pipes or sink while customers were around, which made it really unpleasant. I hope they can take care of that before opening or after closing next time. I love this spot, but this issue definitely needs attention.“

“Bubble King has been our go to spot for years. The pearls are perfectly chewy and consistently high quality, the fresh fruit is real, and the portions are generous.

The owner always gives great recommendations, all at some of the best prices in town. We’ve even had his bubble tea catered for a few events, and it was always top quality and the highlight of every occasion.“

“My favourite bubble tea place!
Their teas are flavourful and fresh. What’s unique about them is that they offer lactose free milk for their milk teas as well as a range of toppings. Their pearls are always fresh and their oolong and jasmine tea jellies are delicious too - I can’t find them anywhere else! Their staff are always nice.“

“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 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😊“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“Took my family hear to conclude a nice evening out. Everything was great, drinks are excellent value and the store was comfortable for my kids. More importantly, owner is a stand up guy who went out of his way to return something I left behind. I couldn't be more grateful. I look forward to returning!“

“Great menu options, delicious drinks. The only reason I’m giving one star short of five is that their bathroom is not equipped with a baby change table. A simple changing table in the bathroom will make this place much more family friendly.“

“I had a great experience at Coco Bubble Tea on Joyce! Kerrie took my order and was very friendly, helpful, and informative. She made sure my milk tea with pearls was exactly what I wanted. Excellent service and delicious drinks — I’ll definitely be back!“

“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 💗“

“Ordered crispy fried chicken, minced pork rice, wonton noodle, etc. Surprisingly each and every dish is so delicious. This is some real Taiwanness food that I always like. The place is clean and bright, and the staff are very friendly as well! Highly recommended!

Ps: I brought my 5 year old there and he liked it a lot ; )“

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

“Amazing drip coffee! My favourite in the city so far!
The breakfast was delicious! Little potato’s, salad, bacon, eggs and thin sliced focaccia… wow. So flavorful!
Very happy I stopped by! Not to mention it is a cool, easy going atmosphere.“

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

“奶茶好喝~ 蛋餅跟蔥油餅也很棒~! 大推!!“

“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.“

“Onezo is the best milk tea I've had, and I've tried many in Vancouver and China. Their brown sugar pearls are absolutely delicious, no one can compete with their tapioca. I was so sad to see that their Kingsway location closed, so I wanted to leave a review to show my support“
