“If you’re looking for bubble tea in North Vancouver, come here to. We’ve tried a couple other spots in the area and it’s not as good as here. The guy who works here is super nice and the bubble tea here is fresh and so so tasty. You get some real fruit in the fruit and slushie based ones and the prices here are very reasonable. My partner and I are bubble tea lovers and highly recommend this spot. We got their berries fruit tea based bubble tea which has a variety of fresh berries as well as fresh passionfruit. My partner got the mango dragonfruit slushie which was soo soo tasty.“
“Recently grabbed the bubble tea from Bluemoon. What an amazing service, the server really cleared my confusion by offering me the right strawberry bubble tea. The server is nice and has a really bright smile, would love to grab the tea again.“
“The drinks at this location are good and their loyalty stamp card is a nice incentive to keep coming back.However, on our last visit, the staff told us that he will not stamp our card for purchasing our drinks online. We said okay, but he felt the need to voice his frustration that he is 'losing money' from the commission he pays the food ordering app.It was an awkward interaction, and it felt like we were being shamed for ordering through the app for pickup. But we probably would not have thought to order from Happy Lemon tonight, if we did not see their business scrolling on the app.The stamp card is a fun incentive for us to keep coming back to eventually earn a free drink. Maybe they are missing the point of a loyalty card?“
“Small space but very clean.Only 1-2 cats were awake, and the rest were sleeping. Kids found it not as fun as expected due to a lack of response from the cats. I won't recommend it if you are looking for a fun, vibrant spot with cats running around. It's a quiet, calming place with no running.“
“She’s very nice but it’s hard for her understanding when I say my order so I wrote it down and the drinks and food are very good and the strawberry milk with pearls that I always get is better than the other bubble tea stores because they add a tiny bit more tea and makes it kinda more sugary and the drinks from this store is balanced. I really love this bubble tea store!“
“By far the most amazing bubble tea I've ever had (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ Highly recommend their Taiwanese style boba milk tea, super simple but it's a favourite c: *update Though I still drop by often, I feel as though their milk tea has become more watery over time Q n Q“
“First time at this location and it is quite a comfortable spot with very nice decor. Seemed like a good meetup spot for creatives to work, judging by the people who were sitting and working at the table over holding a meeting. They do note a 2 hr seating limit though but it makes sense to clear tables for other guests. Friendly staff and I liked the strawberry jelly pearls they had. Also the first time I've seen a bbt place offer free samples!! They let us try their new drink and it was awesome to taste without having to actually order the drink. Drinks are also aesthetic and tasty. Priced on the higher end for bbt but it has a lot to offer in one drink.“
“I had a tiramisu latte which I loved! So I can't really comment on the quality of food.As far as regular latte goes, I didn't like it. It was way too milky and too less caffeinated for my taste. That's why i cant give 5*However I recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood.“
“The free delivery service is really convenient! It’s also particularly good if it’s open until 00.30! I have ordered a lot. My family and I all love ordering when we have guests. The ingredients are non-chemical, so I like it very much (not a professional, but a personal opinion). The delivery clerk is always very kind. I just happened to go to the store today and encountered a mango milk-covered green tea sample and asked for it. It was so generous and delicious! make my day!!!! Thank you ? (I love the fact that there is a parking lot♡I like to order fruit tea and choose sugar-free, which is just right for me!“
“Best value bubble tea shop I have found. They have an extensive menu. My favorites are the fruit and ice cream bubble teas. I love the weekly deal that they have. I have frequented this place so much that it is now my go-to bubble tea shop. I tried to look through my gallery for a picture, but apparently, I'm too excited to drink the bubble tea to pause for a picture.“
“This is such a fun, quirky restaurant! This dessert shop is just outside Stadium-Chinatown, making it a great next stop after a dinner or drinks in Gastown.Once you sit down, you can order your food and drinks from the online menu. This can be a bit confusing how to navigate BUT while we were ordering, the owner noticed that we were having a bit of trouble ordering from the menu. He came to our table and explained everything to us. The owner was super friendly and chatted with us for a minute. He even remembered us from the year prior when we visited.One of the stand out menus is the spiked bubble tea, so this is the perfect solution if you’re craving a bit of alcohol and a bit of bubble tea. However, this time I ordered the Taro and Coconut Smoothie, as well as the Banana Mochi Crepe, both of which I would recommend.“
“I come here quite regularly , and to all of the locations , I was just at the south Surrey location yesterday and they nailed the taro slush bubble Tea, I also bought a panda at 50 percent off for my daughter. Can’t beat the price and quality.“
“Always loved their beef noodles! They have the best soup base in all of lower mainland imo! This time I also tried Salt and pepper fried chicken, braised pork belly rice Bento, red chilli wonton noodles and shrimp dumplings. Chicken and pork belly was outstanding! Wonton noodles and dumplings were just OK. Can't wait to be back!“
“Got the C08 purple rice fresh milk with mochi, with 50% sweet, it was delicious and I would recommend it for everyone!TIP: The paper straws really suck and make it hard to drink though, not their fault, but bring a metal or plastic reusable bbt straw if you're planning it enjoy it to the max!Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor so it's easily accessible.“
“Personally found the drinks better than the food they provide. Ordered the Yakult Strawberry Yogurt and the Strawberry Banana Yogurt. Both were good choices and a change of pace from the regular milk tea places. The consistency is more thick but still smooth to drink. If you haven't tried this place yet, I would go and find out how good an alternative to milk teas and other teas can be. What brought my rating down was the food experience. The Matcha Yuzu Bun was really hard to eat (literally could not use the plastic spoon to break into the bun) and seemed bland. Overall, great drinks and the space is moderately nice to sit and spend some time with others. Does not hold a lot of people. The worker was also nice and friendly.“
“I had the sandwich combo with a brie sandwich and honey lavender milk tea. The sandwich I recommend! It was really good! The milk tea I had at 30% sugar but I still found it to be a bit sweet. Overall it was really good, I’d love to come back to try the waffles or bingsoo. There is a lot of seating and the service was fast:)“
“the service was excellent, the atmosphere was chilling and relaxing, the drink I ordered tasted really good! I recommended rice yogurt with oats, VC peach and strawberry, and VC lychee yogurt! I preferred the sweetness and thickness in yogurt. I will definitely come back! next time I will post with pics. ?“
“Amazing little hidden gem. Feels homey ans family run. Amazing food and great veg options.Their pho beef noodle soup was incredible and easily one of the best spots I've stopped off at in the city. Also had a lemongrass chicken bahn mi; needless to say I will be “
“I came to Vancouver on a business trip and I came to Deer Alley by myself. I ordered Signature Taiwanese Beef Noodle and fruit tea. There were only a few customers in the store. It was quiet. Quick and nice service here.There were quite a few menu items but I ordered Signature Beef Noodle and a fruit drink to take hotel. The signature beef noodles was quite spicy and made me cough at first. It was funny because other people were coughing in the same way. However, I soon got used to the spiciness and finished eating. The beef was tender and just the right amount. I ordered a lemon drink to take home and had it added with jelly and shredded coconut.The taste was bland because no sweetener was added. Maybe it would be easier to drink if it was sweetened. I would like to try other menu items next time.“
“I was craving a real good milky tea with boba and I found it here! The interior was so cute! I love the Island in the middle and the look of it overall. My fiancé and I went here right when they opened and they were so nice and let us know it may take a couple more minutes than usual since they literally just opened the door haha - Overall, staff was friendly and understanding.I ordered the Yin Yang Milk Tea (as pictured) and it was delicious! It was my first time trying this type of tea ever and they got me hooked! If you love Hong Kong Milk Tea, I feel like you'd love this. The coffee in it too was perfection! They brew Assam black tea and put a double shot of Prototype Espresso with a drizzle of evaporated milk. I miss it already! I want to return already but I'm in Ontario so...you know haha“
“Yi Fang, welcome to the Brentwood area! This being the very first modern BB-Tea finally arriving within the neighborhood.Just like any Yi Fang, it has the Brown Sugar bubble milk tea. And their special fruit teas. This location though is mainly just a order & pick up due to their lack of seating area with only like 3 little tables. But at the same time, this location has tons of parks surrounded in the area. There is a small little park on the left (when leaving the establishment), and a park down the block across the street.Of all the Bubble Teas, I actually choose Yi Fang over the rest of the AMOUNT of choices we have. I mainly like Yi Fang for their fruit teas, and nothing else usually. Their pineapple bits are what I crave for at the bottom of each cup. And on top of that, you have to ask for a fork to eat with for the cup.This is my bubble tea spot within the area. Come with me and grab a bubble tea here!“
“What makes this location special can be attributed to their quality tea and rich aroma along with fresh pearls while keeping the price for each cup lower than average. One of the best in metro Vancouver. There's a few individuals working here with fantastic mixer tea brewer skills although the customer service and tea availability can improve. Their ice cream has good flavor too.Few haters review here with little understanding of bbtea but let me assure you that this joint is far above and beyond the others nearby.“
“Cha Yuan is my cup of (bubble) tea!It’s a little shop with a wide selection of drinks (milk teas, lattes, fruit teas, slushes, and brewed teas), as well as bubble waffles and gelatos. The tea flavour is quite delicate, with options to substitute the milk with oat milk (for free!) and adjust the ice and sugar levels for certain drinks. Further, some drinks are caffeine free and available hot. It looks like there is only one size for drinks though. If you do opt for pearls, Cha Yuan’s have a nice chew/QQ to them. My favourite drinks so far have been Matcha Latte ($6.50) with Coffee Jelly (+$0.75), Hojicha Milk Tea ($6) with Grass Jelly (+$0.75), and Brown Sugar Pearl Latte ($6), all substituted with oat milk.Cha Yuan is more of a grab and go, but there is some bar seating by the window should you choose to stay longer. Usually, there is only one staff member - at times, two - attending to both the till and the drinks, so there may be a slight wait. That said, the service is great, as is the quality of the drinks. Get a stamp card because you will be back for more!Dietary restrictions: Oat milk substitution is free!“
“I love bubble tea and have tried many places. This place has the best bubble tea, most friendly staff, and best food place hygiene.My favourite is Oolong milk tea with pearls. The taste of Oolong tea with sweetness of brown sugar pearls is the perfect mix.I am glad that they kept their clear cup unlike a few other BBT places. The visual presentation is so important for drinks and desserts.“
“This is my new favourite bubble tea spot, and I've been to plenty. Most chain stores don't provide this level of customer service, and I find most drinks too sweet. Teaspoon's tea is the best I've ever had - not too sweet (but plenty of flavour) and doesn't give me a caffeine headache. They also have an ETHICAL rewards system where you actually get free stuff fast. I'm so glad I found this local gem!“
“Great place to try your favorite Taiwanese Milk Tea.. The location is inside the train station so kinda difficult to look for but there are signages outside so you won’t need to worry.The place open late so please wait as perfection takes time.. The store was clean even the washroom during our time of visit. The service was fast and the boba was fresh.. Yummy!! I think everything was fresh.There is no parking available and only limited seats available so if you want to order I also suggest doing it in Doordash or Ubereats as they are also available in those flatforms.The Signature Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk Tea is a must-try.Wheelchair accessibility: Thru elevator“
“Yummy freshly made wheel cakes.Ordered matcha red bean, red bean, custard pearl and vanilla ice cream flavored wheel cakesThey open at 1pm but there was already a lineup when they opened and we had to wait for 10-15min for the wheel cakes to be made.“
“Best experience I ever had. Had the best hospitality and customer service. The owners were so sweet and heartwarming and the food is just as Good. I’ve tried almost everything at the cafe and the taste is just outstanding. Their paneer and spicy chicken sandwich is def something one shouldn’t miss. They recently rebranded their name to Place2Be and that is so perfect because it is the PLACE TO BE!!!“
“Amazing hidden ? gem for 100% fresh squeezed juice at a great price! It’s like a mama’s juice kitchen with fresh ingredients and the juices are made to order with fresh produce before your eyes. No fillers or additives, just pure fresh squeezed juice! Tried the fresh squeezed apple, carrot, and celery juice combination and it tasted healthy and refreshing. Will definitely be back. They also sell desserts, snacks, and other drink varieties.“

“great location and great boba at Angelove! the man who works there is efficient and dedicated. they have a large variety of types of drinks from slushes to milkshakes to just plain tea, all at varying but affordable prices! i’ve been there many times and their mango stars are the best on hastings (or even in east van!).Kid-friendliness: the man behind the counter also handles photography for passports and is very kind and patient especially with children and small babies“
“Not the fastest cafe if you're getting a more substantial meal, but it's run by just one super sweet lady, so have some patience. The food is well worth the wait. Strongly recommend the crepes, which are way bigger than you're expecting and sooo good. The drinks are also excellent. Great little cafe to gather in, if you will :)“
“I think the experience has to do with the food u order. I was here another time and it wasn’t as pleasant. Glad I gave it a second chance . I’m going to stick to ordering the same thing when I return.The dishes in the attached photo:Spicy beef noodlesSquid tentacles (ask for a dipping sauce)Taro slush with coconut jellyPassionfruit green teaThe male server gave really good service too. Not sure if it’s because it wasn’t too busy but he was really attentive and didn’t rush us out. We ended up tipping 20% which is considerably high for a casual bubble tea establishment.“
“A friend brought us here for a drink. I had never heard of it before and was surprised. Other milk teas are milky and have a strong saccharine flavor, commonly known as tea milk. The tea flavor of this restaurant is really strong, which is why it is called milk tea. You can smell the aroma of tea as soon as you enter the store. It’s a good thing. I ordered the frozen oolong. The tea is very strong but not greasy. It’s very fresh and delicious. The business is also very popular in the evening, so be prepared to queue up. Prepare“
“We went there on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Perhaps due to rain, there were no other customers. Despite us bringing in two kids (one baby and one toddler) the owner was super nice to us. The store was very clean and nice. There was a cute bench with little stuffy bubble tea things that my 5 year old just loved to play with. When my 5 year old had her lead broke and got very upset, she kindly changed the cup with brand new lead and my kid got super happy. Bubble tea itself was really good too. I enjoyed warm brown sugar milk tea, and my kid finished the entire cup of yam bubble tea.(she normally doesn't finish the drink unless it's good) It was a very nice and cozy Sunday afternoon with yummy bubble tea thanks to this place!“
“Great Bubble Tea! The Deerioca Series is my favorite, I can customize my milk options and the brown sugar pearls are always so satisfying!Dietary restrictions: milk alternatives availableKid-friendliness: caffeine free optionsWheelchair accessibility: no stairs“
“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.“
“I was introduced to this place by my relatives and I can say I was really impressed. We ordered tomato soup, avocado toast, Wednesday special BLT and veggie bibibop. All dish had fresh ingredients, yummy flavour and no flavours were an overkill. The staff were very friendly and checked in with us a couple times to see how we were doing. Overall, it’s a place where I can comfortably bring anyone for a nice brunch / lunch and have a good warm meal. Highly recommend giving this place a try.“
“we ordered the regular boba tea and the mango smoothie. the mango smoothie was great other than the fact that the grapefruit tasted sour. the boba tea was decent. i like the store however it is not worth the hype waiting in line for 30 minutes. atmosphere is okay. pretty loud but decent. overall this place is pretty good.“
“This place was quite busy when we came around 8pm. Only 2 people working but they were so quick, kind and professional. I never leave reviews but I had to for this place. They called us over and said the bubble waffle they made for our order was too dark and not to their standards. They offered to refund or give us a drink as they made another one for us. Most places would just say they forgot to make it or serve it burnt! Love the honesty/transparency and holding themselves to a high standing of serving high quality products. I would be happy to come here regularly. The iced Thai tea latte was perfect level of sweetness and very creamy. The strawberry and white chocolate bubble waffle was crisp and light, not too sweet! Highly recommend“
“Love the late hours and the cakes are delicious! Definitely takes a while to get your order if you’re dining in. Just something to note if you’re in a hurry. We had the mango and pistachio cake and both were great, but I highly recommend the pistachio. No vegan options that I could see from the menu.“
“The drinks are amazing! Came here because no where to sit at nearby JJ Bean and so glad happened upon Guulu. Their specialty drinks are carefully designed and each one made to perfection. Really worth it if want something different. Their coffee - oh my - some of the best I have ever tasted - so smooth. Such a great coffee/specialty drink experience! Have been back several times and plan to continue.“
“Just like home! This cafe has a good and drinks.I enjoyed the chicken platter and my friend enjoyed the chicken wrap. Also tried the pina colada slush, very good.They gave my friend the extra of the slush too, wonderful gesture.Kim was a sweetheart and love her faith!Thank you for serving us.Highly recommend.Parking: Victoria drive can get busy at times, so neighbourhood parking is available.“
“Really good atmosphere, I highly recommend this place. We came for the happy hour and didn’t order any food. The drinks were good and the price even better. If you want a place to hang out with your friends while having good drinks at an amazing price this is the place for you :)“
“I recently tried the best bubble tea ever! I ordered the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea and the signature Milk Foam Black Tea. Both drinks were increadibly tasty, I feel comfortable and peaceful in mind. Service is also a plus, they are friendly and professional. I'll definitely be coming back for more whenever I get the chance.“
“I came here for the hot chocolate festival and got the white chocolate option. They have chosen to allow two options to be available for half of the hot chocolate festival and one option to be available for the other half. Unsure why that is. The white hot chocolate that I got had the most delicious and crunchy little chocolate balls on top and the hot chocolate was so rich and sweet. The waffle on the side is so delicious and I know if I ever come back I’ll have to come back here to try more of the waffles, limited seating! And it seems to be very popular“
“Good place to get Mango flavored drinks! I got the Coconut Milk with Mango and Mochi Balls and was really good! I have the regular ice and 100% sweetness which was perfect. Price was 7.30 including tax. If you want more value for your drink, do not request for to much as, regular or less is better.“
“Today we went to mourning tea. The beautiful sister told us which fruits are particularly good nowadays, so she made a cup of mango yogurt for me. It was very delicious. My son, who is such a picky eater, praised it. What's more important is freshness, health is the most important, and it tastes so good. Highly recommended to everyone. . .“
“Our visit to Chatime at Broadway was truly delightful! I indulged in the signature milk tea, while my coworkers savored the Mango QQ and Mango Juice with Pearls and Coconut. Every sip was bursting with flavor, and the tapioca pearls added an extra dimension of delight. The friendly service and welcoming ambiance made our experience even more enjoyable. If you're in the mood for delicious and refreshing beverages, Chatime is the place to go! Highly recommended!“
“This is such a cute cafe! Drinks and food are made with care and the flavours are amazing. Take some time to peruse their manga collection and admire the decor. We had the karage on rice, okonimiyaki waffle and omelette rice w/ demi glacé. We plan on trying everything they have and since they change their menu with the seasons, there’s so much to experience.“
“It's not just the food that's amazing and reminds me of Taiwan. It's Yang Mama's bubbly personality and extremely generous and caring nature that makes her place a must visit for anyone who misses a taste of Taiwan, or just wants to get a genuine Taiwanese local experience (without the cost of airfare)“
