45 Best Bubble Tea in Vancouver

“Visited on a weekday during fall and tried their passionfruit green tea. It was nice and fruity, just what I needed. I also ordered their roasted milk tea but it wasn't as good. I definitely recommend their fruity teas.
Inside the store was tidy and there were cute plushies on display. It was close to Halloween so they had a spooky skeleton guy on a candy bowl. Very cute, in-season, and kid-friendly.
I can 100% see myself trying another fruit tea from them in the future!

“Very friendly staff and great drinks. Your experience may vary depending on the energy levels and personalities of the cats during your visit. The hostess did a great job letting us know about the boundaries of certain cats to prevent potential issues from arising. Remember to book an appointment online before coming to ensure your spot.“

“Really nice space, not much for seating more of a grab and go spot. Ordered Earl grey milk tea with chocolate cream and Black sesame milk tea with nut cream both were really delicious. Staff was nice. No restroom. Get the nut cream ontop!! Worth the extra charge. Nice, decadent treat!“

“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!“

“One of my favourite bubble tea places. It's a small mom and pop shop. They have a wide range of flavours and their prices are low compared to the rest in the market. The taste is also really good although they dont do specialty flavours“

“Lovely owner & amazing passion fruit bubble tea. My bubble waffle was delish.“

“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.“

“Unfortunately was a bit disappointed compared to what I usually get from here. Tried something other than the brown sugar drinks and it wasn't near the level I expected, but was still an average bubble tea. Will continue getting the brown sugar because it is always amazing“

“Good bubble tea shop with fun toppings/korean flavours. We tried more classic options. I just happen to have noticed a Hong Kong Style milk tea and it was the daily special $5 - not too strong, 50% sweet, it was perfect! Added boba $0.50, it was a good pick. Genmaicha latte was good too, but I liked the hot HK milk tea again. Focus on the taste, they seem to no longer have the custom branded cups (or run out). The small sitting area is still pretty cute.“

“Incredibly nice owner! Got my photo here done and I was not sure if I want a copy of electronic ones, he suggested me not to waste my money on something might not come in handy...
Sad I didn't have any bubble tea this time, but I'll definitely come back just for it!“

“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!“

“I recently visited Chatime on West Broadway. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient while I took my time deciding from their selection of bubble teas.
The teas are rich in flavour and they also have fresh ingredients which is nice. What really stood out was how they catered to my preferences. I could adjust the sweetness and ice level, which made the drink feel totally customized to my taste. It’s those little touches that make Chatime such a delightful place to visit.

Whether you're a bubble tea lover or trying it for the first time, Chatime on West Broadway is definitely worth a visit.“

“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!“

“Absolutley Delicious !!! ❤“

“i love it here. good bubble tea of course, but also because the smell of the brewing tea is very nostalgic to me and it makes me happy. also i love the pomegranate red tea and this is the last location that still has it on the menu! <3“

“they have really good bubble tea“

“Best pizza in the Vancouver“

“Cute little shop with yummy bubble tea! The gentlemen working was super friendly and helpful, as this was my first time trying The Alley. I decided on the most popular order, which was the No. 9. The drink was really good! I will definitely be back to try other menu items.

The shop itself is small, but has plenty of indoor seating. It was clean and well maintained with straws and napkins. They also had a wide variety of menu items, including some fun collabs.“

“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“

“Consistent high quality. Best pearl in town!“

“Perfect for a quick stop for bubble tea near Langara Station. It is open late as well so you can stay and study as there are available outlets almost every table. The washroom is locked tho so you have to ask for the staff to give you the key. No outside food and drinks allowed too!“

“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.“

“The best bubble tea shop in British Columbia! I have now moved away and I still think about this shop often because I haven't found a boba shop that I love as much as this one. I have told everyone I know about this place and have successfully gotten them all hooked. They have great flavours; I personally recommend the fresh fruit mango, ice cream mango, or taro flavours! The owners there are super nice as well, great atmosphere.“

“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 a 6-inch birthday cake. Not only was the cake beautiful and delicious—it was also very generous! Because the cake was very tall, the three of them cut it into a quarter and shared it, but they didn't finish it. A cake shop that is both beautiful and affordable!“

“This place reminds me of a bowl of Pho in Vietnam eg. “Pho Le” Simplistic and authentic. I’ve had everything from Cafe Dang Ang to Pho Duy, and this spot is my favourite alongside Linh Cafe which has a richer broth.

The side condiments are fresh and the beef they use for their Pho Tai is tender and adds a beefiness when cooked in the hot broth.

Their spring rolls are made using Rice Paper and are one of the best in the city. (I personally like the Hanoi style from Cafe Dang Anh)

Pho Tan is famous for their Satay Beef Pho #19 but their entire menu is delicious.

The service is also exceptional, very warm and attentive. They always check up on you.“

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

“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 :)“

“Our favourite bubble tea place downtown. The staff are kind and friendly. The selection is highly varied, and substitutions are possible based on allergy or preference. They also have a loyalty card system so you can save up stamps to eventually get a free bubble tea!“

“I got the banana milkshake and it was so freaking good. There were many other flavours as well. It was creamy like a milkshake but somehow also refreshing and not super heavy. Highly recommend. My boyfriend got the green apple slush. It was good but very artificial tasting and sweet so if you’re not expecting or wanting that, don’t get that flavour but I’m sure the other flavours are great and more up your alley for traditional bubble tea.“

“I am just so amazed by the whole experience of this place, as soon as I walked in I could sense the love and care put into every corner of the cafe. I was welcomed by the owner and the team, felt right at home. The menu prices are very reasonable and for the quality of the food they serve, I would not mind paying a few dollars extra. I can assure you that I am not affiliated with them in any way, today was my first time and I could not wait to leave a review so more people can find out this little gem that’s right in downtown. Especially if you are from India, you will know exactly what I am talking about - it’s your aunty cooking her favourite recipes with all her heart, poured right into the plate. It’s quite lovely <3. I have tried their signature sandwich: the Spicy Chicken grilled sandwich and Oh my god, the spices are on point, its like a whole carnival in your mouth, and its just so filling. Big fan of their chai too, its my go to for starting the morning right. I am a very picky eater, especially when it comes to Indian cuisine, because my mum is a great chef too. The Chef here, her name is Lovely, she took me right back to my mother’s kitchen.

I am excited to try every dish in the menu. You will know that I am not overselling them once you experience it yourself. I am sure you will run into me if you drop by sometime in the afternoon :)

Vegetarian options: Very tasty and healthy, authentic Indian vegetarian options.

Kid-friendliness: The place is run by a family, so kids will feel right at home.“

“I love this place so much!!! The service is great, the prices are amazing and the drinks are always delicious! I love getting they’re green teas and fresh fruit slushes. They have a great variety of food, drinks, and other great desserts! And the lady who commonly works there is kind and always gets my order correct! It always brings a smile to my face when I come here, and I will definitely keep coming here! Great place would definitely recommend this amazing family ran business!“

“Wonderful place for an afternoon tea.“

“Restaurants where you can eat Taiwanese food
Wonton soup is highly recommended?
Beef noodles are also delicious~
The portion size is just right, not too much~
The service attitude is good and the food is served very quickly
Great Taiwanese food shop~~“

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

“I love bubble tea and generally i don't go to gongcha (in my city) because i find they're too sweet but this store is very different. The staff are very attentive, listened to my concern regarding the sweetness level and created a drink that i really enjoyed. The store is very spacious, well decorated with amble seating. I will try to come back before we leave Vancouver. Good job, team Gongcha Renfrew!“

“Good bubble tea for one of the best prices youll find. A good amount of toppings and a big variety of jelly and popping boba options. service is quick and you have the option of a self checkout machine. Be warned it is sweeter than I find most other places.“

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

“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!“

“Loved the flavours! Me daughters asked for the Passion fruit and milk tea with tea jelly... Outstanding both of them!!! The passion fruit definitely won my heart!

I couldn't give 5 stars because the cups are made out of plastic ?“

“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.“

“奶茶好喝~ 蛋餅跟蔥油餅也很棒~! 大推!!“

“Food: The Rose Milk Tea and the Chicken Nuggets on Rice were very good, juicy, and fresh. They were delicious.Service: the staff was super friendly and nice. The person read my mind and gave me the bill right away.Atmosphere: the restaurant had a modern decor. Very spacey and comfortable. A minor one: I thought the table can be a tiny bit cleaner. Overall, it’s a relaxing place to enjoy a meal.“

“Super cute bbt shop that has so much variety! The bubble waffles are sooo good, so buttery and yummy. They recommended the crystal boba and explained it was made from seaweed extract so it’s healthier than pearls ?. I usually get the peach green tea with crystal boba or strawberry green tea with crystal boba.
