Softea is a modern and trendy Capybara themed boba establishment. They have a huge space in…read moredowntown Vancouver with tons of seating in front and an entire gaming area in the back with even more seating. Walking in on a Saturday afternoon, the place was quite crowded with a line at the cash register, but for some reason no line at the order kiosk. When I visited, there was a interesting Korean build-your-own instant ramen shop in their soft opening phase in the shop connected to (and only enterable from) Softea. Assam Black Milk Tea, Regular Size, 50% Sweet, Less Ice, Non-Dairy Creamer w/ Boba ($7.20) - The milk tea has a good body and is shaken until foam develops on the surface. The Assam tea base tastes fruity, almost a bit like plum, mixed with plenty of malt essence. It's not too sweet at half and is generally good to drink. The boba is a little firm for my tastes, but is mostly acceptable. The pearls are smaller than normal boba, not mini sized, but probably could expand a bit more with more boil and soak time. They do have good, consistently smooth exteriors. Note: Less ice is still a lot of ice Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 Softea serves some decent boba. I wish they put in a little less ice, but there are certainly worse options in Vancouver. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

The Thai tea tasted more like sweet milk and I couldn't taste the tea. The honeydew tea was almost undrinkably (probably not a word) sweet and we could only get through about a quarter of our drinks before we had to let them loose. We actually went because of the high ratings on boba tree and didn't know that it was actually replaced by Tea Palace.

I was impressed by how efficient and fast I got my drink being that only one person was spinning out the drinks. It took just under five minutes to get my drink. Amazing!

My daughter chose blended mango (no dairy) and I chose blended taro. I believe with a non-blended you can choose a nondairy alternative. We got it with the boba. We love it. It was so refreshing. The only thing I wish you could do is choose what level of sweetness you wanted. We will go back. The service was nice. if you're at Vancouver mall go get a refreshing Boba tea.
